What the House may do with the Compromise

es them. If they are disposed .lo pass - it, they
wilt do so without debate which would be fatal
to it at this late day of the Session. , It is more
probable, however, that thy wilt refuse to con.

Odf readers are'appried that one of the
most imroriant of those questions which
sometimes. - arise as if to try the strength
and durabiljtv of our Union, was referred
lo a select committee of eight members in
the buna ta of the United Statas on the 13ih
Inst, ,:ln the formation of;this Committee
every sectional interest was consulted and
represented, andoachof the political di
visions had an equal weight.
We may easily" suppose thai the most
opposite views wee presented and defend
ed bv tha distinguished Senators who' for
med this Committee;- a'nilhoso who were
best informed of .the inherent difficulties
which stood in the way of an adjustment
and favorable report, had but faint hope
that this question could bo settled during
ibt present session. And yet many ard
ent friends of tha Union and of their coun
try, Whig and Democratic, were of opirt
ion that by deferring an adjustment the
oiuicu'.ties auenuing r. WDuia increase;
greater exacerbation would ensue; and thai
geographical parties would arise, 'efldan
gering at no distant day that union of-free
and independent Siatas which can alone
ensure peace at home, and respect' abroad.

from, an eminent Democrat and friend of
Cass, who writes r from "Grand Rapids, .
in Michigan, under data of July 5th. '
"As to -politics, we hardly know where-
we are. We have Cass men and Taylor.'
men and Van Buren men." I hope if ..
most Cass men, but it is not improwbw
that we may lose the .Slate."
When tho friends of candidate Cass in
