Bansas, tied,
Indiana, not voting,

Inc hVe delegates fer Illinois voted: For
slave cede, Judge Logan Against slave
code, Cook, Wood Palmer and Turner. Ew-
Ing, Jr, and bogus Stone, from Kansas, voted
tor the slave code contrivance. Ex-Mayor Ad-
ans and Representative Conway voted against
it.
1t will be seen that Virginia, North Carolina
and Missouri voted against the adoption of the
Report on the ground that it was not sufficient
y favorable for the Slaveholding States. To
let our readers know the amount we are expect
ed and required to cOncede in order to satisfy
even the border Slave States, we give an out
line OF the concessions offered in this report,
that was scorned and rejected because it did
not coneede enough to Slavery. Mr.. Sedden,
OF Virginia said, at was a delusion, sham, an
offence and an insult to she South" The prop.
csitions that have thus insulted the South EN-
brace the following concessions, all of which Il
is proposed to incorporate into the iundamen
tai law:
!. The establishment of Slavery in all terri
tory South Of sc deg 80 min, and placing il
beyond the reach of either Congress or Terrific
rial Legislatures
2 NOn-acQuisition of territory hereafter, eli
Their by conquest Or purchase, without the con
sent OF a majority Of all the Senators from tn.
slaveholding States.
4 3. Denying to Congress the right to inter
fere with slavery in the States, in the Terrific.
ries, in the District of Columbia without tn,
consent OF Maryland, or in any place under OK
elusive Jurisdiction of the United States within
SlaVeholding Ststeg also denying to Congress:
the right to prevent bringing slaves into the
District Of Columbia, holding them there ani
taxing them away again, or to interfere in any
way with the Interstate Slave trade also es
tablishng the right in the transportation O.
slaves from one State to another, by sea or riv
er' to touch at ports, shores or landings in the
free States, in case of distress.
4 construction Of the Constitution adverse
to the principle of law settled by the suprem,
Court OF the United States in the case Of Prigt
vs. the State Of Pennsylvania, by which tn,
D sole right Of capture and return Of fucitiy,
slaves was declared to vest in the Federal Gov
eminent. The proposed change of eonstrpc
ton confers that right as we'll upon State ssv
ernmonts, and State judicial and ministeris
officers.
D. NO change i'll sny Of the provisions of tn
Federal Constitution which in any way affec
the rights Of shareholders, to be made hereafte
without the consent of all the slave States:
.. Compensation to be made to the owner
OF all fugitive slaves whose arrest may be pre-
vented by violence Or intimidation, as well n
for all that may be rescued after arrest.
All these concessions to slavery, in the esti
nation OF Mr.. Tyler, are worthless, and are on
ly an insult to the South, if Mr. Seddsn ia TO b.
regarded as authorized to speak for that section
The States which have thus voted agairs
this plan of compromise, on the ground Of #
not conceding enough to the South, and III
men who have east their votes, are general,
reputed to be conservative, reasonable and Tn
ion-loving We cannot see how or where tb,
Free States could give up more, and yet the,
are told that they only "iusult' the South by
Offering SO little; and this by conservative. Tn
ion-loving States. What then would the Got
ton States, which have already sOcsded and eIo
ry IN their secession,ssy to compromise found
cd upon such concessions. Nest undoubtsdl,
they would reject it with scorn. Northern co...
promsers should learn by this time, tbat coro
promise Is ot,and has not been what tho so,.L
demands Submission is the WORD tbot No..
nsaIly describes the demands of the South. w,
have no doubt that if the Republican nor,,
would give up the Government and invita- Lar
Davis and his Congress to Washington Will
Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet quietly retired :,
private life, we might entice the secedsd Stat.
ba elk into the Union. We presume that .,os
a compromise Q) would heal and save tbe Tn.
ion until another Presidential election toos
place. Then we should be required 10 mako
another compromise, to the effect that the Pc
publican Party would never again elect an OFF
Ger ofthe General Government. or a manob.n f
either house of Congress. If taco n,illiou Ra
| publican voters will disfIanchise tbepssl,as
and allow the half million Democrats to do al
the votng-sll the legislating, all the govern.
ing,wo may have peacs & the Union. We knaw
there are thousands ofNorthern Democrats who
would advocate such compromise and call
themselves patriotic Union savers for so doipcr
We confess TO an utter inability to see the
benefit of such Union, or to appreciate Al
worth OF peace purchased upon such terms
For our part, we demand the rights guaranteed
to US by the Constitution as it is" the rnla of
the majority and the submission of the minority
in all cases, to the constituionally Expressed
will OF that majority If the Union does mn. 60
cure US those rights, then we have no re.nact
for it, and care not how quick it is severed 1rbo
advocates OF compromise may as we'll npdor
stand the real state of things irss as last. Thew
cannot give up their rights to placste tho sort5
aud keep them. Or as We used to read :, a.
elementary spelling book We cannot aot
orr cake and keep our cake" We cannot s,o-
rifce all the rights, franchises, and princinIs
Of freedom and continue to be free men. Eli /
Their we must sacrifice all that makes the Union
worth preserving, for its preservation, or we
must see what virtue there is in the Constitu-
ton for its own preservation and the preserra-
hon OF the Union. It is worse than folly 10
make great sacrifices ofmanhood to coneiGate
The Border Slave States, while the Cotton
states are in open instruction. If these Boz.
1ef states are bribed for the present to remain
n the uni0n, they claim the right, at snv Fl
pfe time, to secede and join the Cotton States
