The press seems to be a good deal divided in opinion upon the merits of the Compromise measure reported bv tbe conference committee. In a general way the most deoided oppo sitiou to it may be said to oomo from Republican papers. Tbe New York Times and Tribwg take very positive grounds against it as being, uuoonsti'utioual; "a 'Bo publican surrender, Ac The Herald, however, warmly en dorses it, and is' coufident that pa triotic meu in all parts of the couu- try will be disposed to seek for merits, and to pass over delects, in ine pian, if defects it r.uonld prove io nave.

The Philadelphia Timet (Ind.) thinks tho plau one that will g'" entire satisfaction . to fair mindcu men of all parties. The Boston Herald (lud.) says: The country wants peaoe, aud the sooner a plan of this kind is adopted the better.- O Tho BoVtob Aduertiner (Rep.) argues that "whoever may bo de olaied electod in pursuance of this arrangement will take his seat with out a dissenting voice, and will re ceive the loyal support of an nudi vided oonutry. This is of vastly greater cousequeuoo than that either party ebonl.l prevail bj an exercise of doubtful powers, with the immi nent risk of two parties attempting to Set up a government, the rightf u ness of onB or the other to bd deter mined ultimately by trial of force. That is what the whole country not in politics dread above all things, all calls upon Congress to avert by the best means iu ils power.", The Springfield Jienubliean (Ind.) thinks the plan will command the support ot tho country; and even more so if it droves that n bitter Re pnbliOAU partisan like Mortoa, or a Democrat like Springer dissents from it.
