THE C0MPR03USE S.
Many of the lepers, those of the radical aboli
t ion stamp, and others more' conservative in ap-p.-irancc,
press the integrity oi tbefiseveral Cora
j.ri.inises uikmi the public mind. Papers prof.ss
iiii: to be of the Whig as well as Democratic par
tv of tlx North nrc engaged in this business. Let
them do a they may, we kave good reason to be
lieve thai, although the question is agitated with
warmth in that region, a majority of the Northern
people, both wlu's and democrats are w illing to
h ave the subject wf Slavery in the territories herc
atter to be fonued to the decision of the inhabit
ants thcmseUe.'i. Tliis is the only true Constitu
tional ground. Judge Docglas iu his late re
marks said : ""For my jvxrt, I ana ..prepared to
maintain ad preserve inviolate the constitution
,ii it is, wif fa all its compromises, to stand or fall
by the American Union, clinging with the tenaci
ty of life to all its glorious memories ef the p;ut
atiil precious hopes of the future." ;
No aiatter to what party a man who utters such
M'lititucttts belong.", he is q etui lux a patriot.in ev
ery m'hsc o( the word nor bare we any right to
impute al motives to the man who sustains the
rilit, while we are very conservative, some of us
of the Whiggery, towards those who openly vindi-
;ite the wrong.
We arc very sorry to see some of the Southern
Whig iiicrs ojienly oppose the Nebraska Bill, the
om.Y MK1SIBE THAT CAN PIT TO REST FOBEVr.H
thk AiiiTATioN or the 8i.avehv Questiok, by po
litical managers, selfish demagogues, aiwl ambi
tions aspirants in Congress, a body that bag no
more business to regulate this matter, than it has
to say whether we shall give northern brogans or
southern slippers for the "wear and tear' of our
slaves.
This measure gives to Tiir. People their Ricuts,
takcu from them by Legislative Action in viola
tion ot the Constitution. II will be inconvenient
on .cveral accounts. On the one hand we can no
more have the dagger and the chivalry openly
avowed, which begin and end in windy speeches
nor on the other, the affectation of conscientious
seruplea, lady-like sentimentality, the comming
ling of pity and sorrow and comploration for the
?-la ve in deep hypocricy, with their covert weapon
intended to stride to the political power of the
tv.iith the blow of death.
The Constitution sustained and its provisions as
serted, by the passage of this bill, the subject of
slavery will be taken forever from Congressional
turmoil, and from Congressional trespass and ag
gression, and revert to its pristine position, where
our political fathers placed it, to the Legislatures
of the several States, who alone have sovereignty
in ikis question, at all events no one will dispute
this we suppose.
What the Legislatures will do we cannot divine.
We do not suppose that any action perilous to Ihe
Union will be taken by the Northern Legislatures
certainly none will be by those of the South.
This Restoration of the Constitution will deprive
none of our northern brethren of their rights or
privileges. The Abolition Editors may still con
tinue to call us dough faces, barbarians, wicked,
murderous wrctcbes, unsocial and savage, and the
like. It w ill do us no barm, while some of our
people will even patronize their papers. Tbe strong
minded women of the North may meet and de
claim, and invoke curses upon us through the me
dium of Spirit Rapping, for no others can reach
us or in any other w ay that suiu their sentimen
talities. Of course, we shall have Atheism, Bloo
merisni, and all the great number of isms preva
lent in the "free States," against us but then
their influence will be kept out of Congress. And
thus Abolitionism will operate more in detail be
more diversified, and though somewhat disjointed
will be quite as beneficial and useful in its opera
tions as heretofore.
Well, we ought not to close up the bosom of
compassion towards the fallen Abolition party. It
had concocted erest arrancctueuta, and had
brought great taicut into exercise to m.-vke a ow
rrf ul demonstration against tbe Soitli. Mr. Gbee
i.v, the MasterSpirit of that movement knows
this to be so. Very well, you brought Southern
Whigs to your aid, who were instructed to go it
blind for the sake of party. Tbe denouement came
"if at the last Presidential Election, when Aboli
tionism, like Jonathan, "jumped into a briar bush
and scratched out both its eyes," and now hopes,
by the influence of Journals of high import, ack
nowledged ability, 4c, which influence others less
lotent and magnificent, to induce southern Whigs
to lend a hand on this occasion, to help it, Aboli
tionism, to jump out and "scratch them in again."

Tbe Nebraska Bill is still under debate in the
Senate. The Sulional InlcUtgenccr of Wednes
day reports :
We are glad to see that by the energy of Sena
tor Badger, ojierating on the just disjiosition of
the Senate, a bill which-he introduced on Mon
day! appropriating $200000 for the further im
provement of Cape Fear river, was taken np,
promptly passed, and sent to the other ilou-e,
where we trust it ill meet with equal favor. The
Bill passed the Senate iinanimouMy.
The House o! Repiesentatives, at an early hour
went into Committee njion the bill projiosing to
grant to each head of a family who all settle
and work the same for five years a homestead of
ouo hundred and sixty acres of land. This bill
opened a wide field of dob .tc, not altogether np
on its merits. Mr. Dawson, of Pennsylvania,
made a sjicech in favor of tbe measure, and wm
succeeded (each for an honr) by Mr. Mace, of In
diana, and Mr. Skclton, of New Jersey both in
oppo.Mtion to the provisions of the Nebraska bill
but especially against the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, and in deprecation of the reopening
of a question which both of Ihe political partiu i
had declared settled and closed.
The Homestead Bill is the special order from
day to day nntit dhqioacd of. The latitude of de
bate allowed in Committee of the Whole will
lonbt less be used to the greatest extent in anii-
ci i at ion of tbc regular consideration of the Ne

FATE OF A FUGITIVE SLAVE.
Norfolk, Feb. 1C.
George Lattimer, a black man, whose case, as
a fugitive slave, made ranch noise ten years ago.
in Boston and in this city where he belonged, and
who, after a great deal of excitement, was surren
dered by bis master (Mr. James B. Gray) for
$.110, collected in Boston, and who subsequently
figured much at anti-slavery lectures, and was
himself, we believe, employed to lecture, was ar
rested in Boston on Saturday for picking the
locket of Mr. Thomas Townsent of a pocket book
containing S'TOO. He was detected iu conse
quence of having thrown the pocket book down
a vault. He appears to have sivent all the money
but $73, and has been suspected of this and oth
er offences, from a lavish expenditure of money.
He has occasionally been employed as a waiter
at tbe hotels, and has a wife and several chil- I
drcn. The Courier mentions that Lattimer was
mobbed some years ago, in consequence of a vio- j
lent speech he made in Fane nil Hall, and that
he has alwasy been an overbearing, impudent j
fellow, which it attributes to his having been pet
ted and spoiled by the abolitionists. Herald. j
FAILURE OF THE CRYSTAL PALACE. j
We notice (says the New York Herald) that the
stockholders of the Crystal Palace Company are
out of pocket $125,000 by the ofx-ration. This
is somewhat singular, considering tbe favor shown !
to the enterprise, and the popularity it at one
time enjoyed. No other cause can be assigned
but the mismanagement of the directors ; the first
and most striking Instance of which was the delay
which occurred in the opening. Had the Palace
been opened on the 1st of May, instead of the 4th
of July, it is probably that there would have been
a surplus as large as the deficit now is. Country
people lost faith in tbc scheme when it failed to
open as announced ; and thousands who would
have visited it remained quietly at boiue. We
hope it will prove a warning for the future. Pub
lic companies like private individuals must keep
their word if they want to succeed in life.
THE U. S. MINISTER TO FRANCE.
It has been stated that Jndc Mason, of Virgi
nia, our new Minister to France, had appeared at
the French Court in fall costume, although Mr.
Sandford, the Secretary of Legation, had set the
example of appearing in the plain dress of an Am
erican citiien. Io connection with this fact, wc
find the following paragraph in a N. York paper :
' On the occasion of his presenting bis creden
tials to the Emperor, Mr. Mason, our new Minis
ter to the Court of France, was introduced to the
Empress, who conversed with him in English for
about half an hour, and afterwards forwarded him
an invitation for the grand ball which look place
at the Tnileries tbe following- evening. One of
tho imperial carriagca was sent io convey the
Ambassador to the Tuilerh 8 and re-conducted
him back' to bis hotel."
MILITARY COURT OF INQUIRY.
The examination of witnesses before the Milita
ry Court of Iuqniry into Ihe circumstances atten
ding the loss of tbe troops on board the San Fran
cisco is still in progress. A good deal of informa
tion has been elicited, bat scarcely any thing that
is of interest in ilself. The Journal of Commerce,
nttcrs the following witb regard to facts elicited
concerning the transfer of ..passengers from the
San Francisco to the Ki Iby : ,
"We should say that the true-hearted women
who bailed the boat on her trip to tbe Kilby, and
voted to search for the steamer though they per
ished in the attempt, sbonld gain their meed of
solid applause. A heavy bracelet of gold, as
pure as tbe hearts of tbe fair wearors, would not.
we believe, be sn nnappropriato offering. Think
of it. A whisper from tbe nress would make it a
reality." '

tioa, because it served bis purpose to do so. It
ataved off open rupture with France and England
and thereby afforded him tho opportunity of fur
thering his object, unmolested by any active in
terposition on tbe part of those Powers. And
this is Ihe strangest part of the affair, that the
four mediating Powers should have seen Russia,
in defiance of them, proceeding wilh its aggres
sion upon Turkey invading its territory, taking
possession of its towns, laying embargo upon its
provisions, and waging war to tho knife against
it, in defiance and in furtherance of its aggressive
movement, and yet have been content still logo
on negotiating. Thus, the great object of their
negotiation was for the purpose of removing all
pretext for any such aggression, which surely
ought never to have been submitted to, while the
negotiation was ye! pending.
When the Autocrat, in spite of the good offices
of tha Four Powers, could breuk the Iruce des
pising their mediation, and defying their renion.
stiaucu they would have best consulted their
own dignity , and best maintained at tho lime
time tho interests of Europe, by changing their
posture oi mediation into an attitude of defiance.
They have to do so now ; and it must have been
seen ail along that they would have to do it at
last France aad England, at any rate. But sec
what an advantage they have giren the Czar by
their dalliance. The Dannbian Principalities are
occupied by his armies he has had leisure and
opportunity to mature his plans and he has
gained time and procured means for a more vigo
rous onslaught. All this mischief for uch it
I undoubtedly is might have ben prevented.
The Autocrat has been emboldened to proceed,
by the timid and teniorifitig jiolicy of those who
have now to resist lib aggressions, after they have
allowed him to get pose:-',ou of the vantage
gvoiuid
Wc have called what is now taken place and
what we humbly conceive tlp Four Powers, nny,
France and England by themselves, might by a
vigorous expression of resistance in the outset
have easily prevented we have called it mischief;
and sure wc are that to Europe at large it will
prove so, unless .lie hostilities now being entered
upon are more readily terminated than there is
any reason to expect. ' War." says Burke, "cus-H-nds
our rules of moral obligation ; and what is
long suspended is iu danger of being totally ab
rogated. It always strikes deep into the manners
of a icople. It vitiates their politics ; it corrupts
their morals ; it perverts even Iho natural taste
and relish of equity and justice." And surely
this were mischief, to say nothing of its sacriS.
ccs its borrois and its miseries. Alrrady were
the porteuts of war being displayed throughout
Europe. A warlike note was sounding in every
quarter. It may be that, ere this, Ihe shores of
the Euxine have resonnded wilh Ihe roar of other I
cannon than those of Russia mid Turkey. The
fleets of France and England would not long bu .
inactive after their entrance ion the scene of '
conflict. Then, Switzerland, it seems, was arm- .
ing for the defensive, it was professed, but per- j
haps, ere long, for some more direct parliciation j
in a warfare, -the exteut of which it is imojwible ;
at present to calculate. Piedmont, too, we learn. I
was on Ihe alert, strengthening her forces, and
prcpaiing for the fight should anything occur to
call forth her intcrjvosition. And this may be
considered as a hopeful sign. Under Austria's
constrained yet politic uncertainly, it exhibits a.
feeling of indejiciidence that is, at such conjunc-
tnre, highly promising. Italy is too near the bat-
tie ground to be altogether a passive spectator j
so is Hungary ; and one knows not what issues j
it msy involve as regards their future destinies.
In Ihe North of Germany there was. as yet, no
sign. But when ouce the war develops itself
there can scarcely fail to be a fierce commotion ;
in that quarter.
There is one indication which is anything but
hopeful. As the risks of war became imminent,
tho English public Securities kept giving way.
What are now as low as 91, were but six months
ago upwards of 100, and the apprehension, we
find, was prevalent, that crc many weeks elapse,
they will fall lower still. This may bo a natural
result of a dread of war, but it docs not indicate
it.
The indication derivable fmm the state of the
English Funds, was a little more hopeful at the
departure of the pacific than It had been for soma
time previous." In the two or three days before
the 25th, Consols had declined folly two per cent.
On the 24th they were as low as 80 , bnt at noon
of the 25th, they had risen to 91. Still nothing
but tlie apprehension of war could keep them
down to that extreme point. It is the natural re
sult of a dread of war; but it msy also be thought
to indicate no very great confidence in its issue
In England, especially , tho pulse of tbe nation, in
any impending crisis more iarticulrly, may best
be felt through the Funds. Their action general
ly describes ihe national feeling with remarkable
accuracy. It is true, that England has her own
causes at work. The food of her people is scarce
and dear, and their industry is Interrupted and
depressed in many of its branches. But all this
is aggravated, while much of it has been occa
sioned, by the tbrcatcnings of war. And it cer
tainly would seem to imply an amount of appre
hension, not tossy alarm, from which Nicholas
of Russia will undoubtedly take courage.
THOUGHT BETTER OF IT.
Bosro.v, Feb, 13.
The Manchester Mirror states that on Thursday
last Mrs. Mary Whittaker jumped into the canal
near the Amoskeag Mills, with an evident intent
of committing suicide. As soon as she touched
the water she began to come to her senses, and
screamed loudly for help. Two gentlemen chan
ced to be near, and by speedy efforts rescued her.
Tbe cause of the act was family troubles ; "the
secret of which appears to be that there aro no
children in the family, ami the husband regards
this as a sufficient reason why ho should whip his
wife ; while she suspects him of caring more for
other women than for herself." Reflecting upon
these matters she concluded it was best for her to
be out of the. way but thought better of it, as
soon as she found it was not warm water into
wbicb she bad plunged." '
Pwitmvs, Feb. 12th A desperate Insttiow
took place this afternoon, in wbicb several persons
were injured, airf oos pobsy killed. The po

He entered tlio "gate which opened into the grave-
yard, and walking around, be viewed tho grassy
beds, beneath wbicb the sons of other years toy
silently retting from want and toil and pain'
Whilo he was reading the various inscriptions on
the tombstones his attention was drawn to a cor
ner of tbe yard by tbe sobs of a child. He went
immediately to the spot, where two ragged chil
dren sat, weeping upon a newly made grave. A
piece of bard bread was between them. The stran
ger, being sensible to the sorrows of others, sat
down upon the grave, and inquired Into the cause
of their distress. The little boy, whose name
Henry, began to tell him that his sister Mary was
naughty, and would not eat the piece of bread
which be had begged for her. She interrupted
her brother here, and told tbe man that she had
eaten some bread yesterday, but her brother had
eaten uone since the day before, and she wanted
. him to eat this.
They boy then proceeded to tell the stranger
that about a year ago his father left the village
and went to sea, and that in a storm he was
drowned. And. poor mother cried so bard and said
that she must soon die too; but that we must love
each other, and God would be our father. She
called us to her bed side, kissed us both and then
died. Now we have no mother, but wc have
come to her grave to see if we can find our Father.
Mother said he was iu heaven. Can you tell us,
sir, where our Heavenly Father can be found 1
The stranger listened to tho tale of sorrow until
his eyes were filled with tears, and he was moved
with compassion for the wanderers. He exclaim
ed as he rose from the grave, "Come with me my
children. God will be your Father. He has, no
doubt, sent ine here this night to befriend you."
He took them to the inn, and had them provi
ded for until he returned home. Then they weye
received into the bosom of his family where they
were well fed, clothed, and instructed; and tbe
stranger in his declining years, witnessed them
useful and pious members of society. His hospi
tality was rewarded an hundred fold.
Lot all the children who may bear about Henry
and Mary put their trust in GOd, and he will raise
up friends for them when their fathers jmd moth
ers die. Let parents instruct their children in the
knowledge of Christ, that w hen death shall make
them orphans they may find a father in heaven.

NOBLE BLOOD.
Dickens, in his Child's History of England, gives
the follow ing slap iu (be face at some of the no
bility of England. In diaries the Second's time
he says: " The vihole Court was a great flaunting
crowd of debauched men and shameless women,
und Catherine's merry husband insulted and out
raged her in every possible way, until she con
sented to receive those worthless creatures as her
very good friends; and to deg ratio herself by their
companioni-hip. A Mrs. Palmer, whom tho King
made Lady CasiU-mainc, and afterwards Duchess
of Cleveland , was one of Ihe most powerful of
the bad women about the Court, fliul had great j
i i.flm ncc w iih the King ucarly all thronsh his i
reign. Another merry lady, named Moll Davis, a
dancer at the theatre, was afterwards her rival,
So was Nell Gwyn, first an orange girl and then
an actress, who really bad some good in her, and
of whom one of the worst things I know, is tlial
she actually does seem tojiave been fond of the
King. The first Duke of St. Albans was this
orange girl's child. In like manner, tbe son of a
merry waiting lady, whom lbe Duke .created
Duches of Portsmouth, became the Duke of Rich
mond. Upon the whole, it is not so bad a thing
to be a commoner."
POLITICALLY DAMNED.
Mr. Vicklcr, Yankee Mac, "Comedian to the
born Republicans," relates the following good
story. It will serve to givo. some ides of the
' p incial ingredients" for success in politically
away down South. It wiil bo remembered by
many person about t he neighborhood, that Mr.
McG , an Alabama Marshal, arrived at Clever
land alxul two years ago, in search of a fugitive
from justice. He- put np at lh .Wrddell House,
and duiirrg bis stay tbcie had a "difficulty" with
a eron who roomed with him one evening, in
which McG. shot three times at; bis antagonist,
slightly wounding him the third 'iore. He was
immediately arrested and put ?n jail; on the morn
ing the following scene took place in tbe pris
on :
A friend of the Manual entered his cull, and
found him seated, his head resting on his hands,
and looking like one who had entirely given up
in despair.
"Come, Mac," said the friend, "cheer np ; the
man is but slightly wounded, and the matter will
not be prosecuted."
'Ruined! ruined 1 mined ;" groaned the Mar
shal, without even changing his position.
' Ruined ! bah ! " returned his friend, "don't be
a child ; I tell you the wouud is but slight ; be
sides, it is an aggravated case, and had you killed
him you would not have been ruined !"
"I know it," said the Marshal, suddenly start
ing up, "but three times ! only think of it ! to
shoot three times at a man and not kill him ! I
am politically damned in Alabama 1"

The following sentiments are from two differ

Marriage is to woman a state of slavery. It ta

Marriage a state of slavery ! Aye but the

the sanction of Jove an institution which ac
knowledges the right ot woman to be protected,

gTCSKIT AND RCSSIA.
, AR accounts concur in stating that Russia is
making extensive preparations on tbe Danube, as
also in Asia. Omar Pasha was vigorously en
gaged in recruiting and strengthening his posi
tions. Every opportunity within his reach was
embraced for this purpose.
The Shah of Persia has promised neutrality to
wards Turkey.
HCVOARY.
Affairs in this country have been very much
agitated. There were indications of insubordina
tion, and apprehensions of an outbreak. Austria
is mnch troubled, and apprehensive of difficulty.
The whole tenor of the news is warlike.
TRANCE.
Extensive defensive and warlike preparations
were still going on. Napoleon is understood, says
tho Constitutionellc, to be determined upon war,
unless the Czar comes to some terms in due time.
ENGLANO
The war question is Btill absorbing all interest,
and received by the best informed, as extremely
uncertain. England continues to strengthen her
land and naval forces.
The imports of breadstuff's into England" were
large, but the demand almost equal to the supply
SUCCESS OF THE TURKS.
A Paris desjatch announces that a great battle
took place at Kalafat on the 26th, in which the
Turks were completely victorious.
Tho Turks had also re-taken two island on the
Lower Danube, which had previously been taken
by the Russians.
Arrest ofFugitives Charred with "Murder.
New YrinK, Feb. 13. Two young men named
JohjiMorant and John Ford, who were charged
with having recently committed a murder in Sa
vannah, Geo., were yesterday brought fo this city
by officer Wm H. Stephens of the cople's police
and committed lo prison to await the arrival of
an officer from Savannah, to take them to that
citv to answer the charge. They escaped from
Savannah in the steamship Georgia" which ar
rived at Philadelphia on Saturday last, and In
direction of the Savannah authorities, were brought
to this city. An officer from Savannah is expect
ed on Tuesday next to take them beck.
STREET PREACHING.
A large number of persons assembled yesterday
morning in a vacant lot in 14th street, near 8th
avenue, to hear a man named West, preach. By
three o'clock in the afternoon, his auditors num
bered about 5,000, and the mIico of tbe IGih
ward fearing that a disturbance would take place,
repaired to th spot, but no overt 'act was com
mitted, save that a young man was slightly stabb
ed iu the face by one whom he had offended. He
was taken to his residence in lCih street. The
assailant escaped arrest. Shortly after 3 o'clock
word was sent to the audience that another stt eel
preacher named Parsons, was holding forlh in 7th
avenue near 13th street, and bad requested that
his friends should come and hear him
About
2,000 of Ihe multitude then left the lot In which
wgt was preaching, and repaired to Parsons'
stand, where they patiently heard what he had to
say. Up to a late honr in the afternoon, no furth
er distnrbance had occurred and no arrests had
been made.
ARREST OF MADAM UESTELL.
This notorious woman was arrested on Satur
day by Captain Walling, of the 18lh ward police,
on a warrant issued by Justice Smart, in which
she stands charged in producing abortion Ujioii a
young female who had fallen a victim to the snares
of sn individual living iu the fashionable quarter 1
of the city, who, after effecting her ruin, induced i
her, last summer, to visit several watering places
with him, and afterwards, to conceal her htm.-,
to board at a farm honse about 10 miles from the
city. She was held by the Magistrate to await !
examination. A complaint has also been made
agaiust the seducer, aud the police are on the
look out for him.
WHAT IS A FOP 1
The fop is a complete specimen of an outside
philosopher. He is one-third collar, one-sixth ;
I latent leather, one fourth walking stick, and the
rest kid gloves and hair. As to his remote an
cestry, there is some doubt but it is now pretty
veil settled that he is a sou of a tailor's goose.
He becomes ecstatic at the smell of new cloth.
He is somewhat nervous, and to dream of tailor's
bills gives him the nightmare. By bis hair, one
would judge he had been dipped like Achilles,
but it is evident that The goddess must have held
bim by the head instead of the heels. Neverthe
less, such men are. useful. If there were no tad
poles there would be no frogs. They are not so
entirely to blame for devotion to externals. Paste
diamonds mnst have a splendid setting to make
them sell. Only it seems to be a waste of mate
rial to put five dollars worth of bearer on Ave cents
worth of brains.
