We accordingly see their organ, the Tribune, in a state of per- ject frenzy at the prospect of compromise. “What need is there of compromise?” ex- claims the one-booted editor ot the Fourier- ite organ. “ When the adversaries of free labor bad the power, did they ever accord a com- promise to its champions?” exclaimshe. Have we not the fact before us—undeniable, and if demed susceptible of proof at any moment—that Virginia ceded to the confederacy, before the constitution was formed, for the formation of free States, the whole of what was calied the Northwestern Terri- tory? That territory now embraces the States ot Ohio, Indiana, Ihmois, Michigan and Wisconsia— each and all of which are tree States. By the acqui- sition of Louisiana, in 1803, did not the North get, by virtue of the Missouri compromise, nearly four- fifths of the territory that was added to the Union by fui State.

Bat gtving the whole of that to the South, the North, without re- ferring to California and New Mexico, have up- wards of seven hundred thousand square miles the nucleus of serious entanglements and confu- sion. It is extremely unfortunate, both for Cali- | fornia itself and for our country, that, on its ap- | plication for admission into the galaxy of the | Union, its political orbit should not be tound har- | more than the South. monizing with the other constellations, so that it No need of compromise forsooth!

Telegraphic Heads and Points. Affairs in Washington, as presented by the tele- graphic ‘reports, give ws no additional hope of an emicable settlement of the great difficulty. Mr. Doty’s good judgment, however, in taking a course that will spare the country the ecene recently an- nounced as in preparation for next Monday, re- dounds very much to hig credit. The bill intro- duced by him will be found in ita appropriate place. The discussion supervening upon the ia- troduction of it will attract attention, It abounds in the expression of some very peculiar views, several of them rather novel in the method of pre- sentation. On the subject of a dissolution of the Union, there will be found opinions of some inte- rest, particularly as to the modus operawit to eflect the object successfully, The debate appears to have been conducted in a good temper. In the Senate, the petition of the citizens of the West Valley of the Rio Grande was referred to the Committee on Terntories. This will now be an- other subject for excitement, though the public have been prepared for it for some. months. Mr. Benton seems not to have entered into the general merits of the slavery question—but has said just so much as might remove, if heeded, one objection to the admission of California, and that not a slight one. In the New York Legislature there have been some movements to-day, worthy of citation. Merchants and manufacturers will be pleased to find that the act imposing additional penalties on forgers of labels of goods has been passed in the Senate. By the same body the christianizing ot the “last of the Mohicans,” by means of thirty thousand dollars, has been deemed a very proper proceeding. In the Assembly there have been several reports made—one in favor of Captain Jaszynski, who was superseded in his command, | in a curious manner, while holding a commission under Governor Wright, in the first regiment of volunteers. Mr. Canal Commissioner Hinds has made an appeal to be heard upon charges pre- ferred by “ one Jonas Ingraham.”’ This promises to be amusing, and to break up the monotone dulness that pervades Albany. A little excite- ment is beneficial Events thi pital, &e, OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Wasuixotox, February 27, 1860, The rpirit manifested in the House of Representa- tives, to day, was little tamer than the rumors of the merning had given people reason to anticipate. There were sharp words in the streetr. and not a few threats and hints cf an unstatesman like character. Among other things, it was asserted that several members had armed themselves for fear some fracas of a serious pature would take place on the floor of the House, It was a foolish preeaution, and any such measur ridiculous, and sometimes lead to the scene! DB ould strive to avert. Mr. Dety introduced a bill for the admission of Cali- fornia. It stands first upon the calendar, will disperee those serious fears which have been entertain- ed with reepect to the anticipated course of action for Monday next. Mr, Webster will deliberate, probably, little longer, which strained by some power beyond bis own will. Northern nm have been with him, and they may have advised bim to stick to striet party lines, rather than overleap all barriers to stay the tumult. Possessed of all the elements necessary to insure the success of a bold meseure, it is to be feared that he is too much @ of the North to give up the toys of party, which tury. The South bad depended upo still hopes question, any favorable and permanent effect will not be produced. He has a great chan whip—hand free, and holds the ribbands.

While we | confess that the present position of this new and | brilliant creation of commercial enterprise is a cause of deep anxiety, not less for the difficulty | That interposes its admission, than for the results | which would attend the rejection of its application, | yet we are constrained to hope, as well as to des | tire, that the events or the next fortaight will be | favorable and peacefully decisive. ‘The North, breaking away from the pulses and contrivances of party, are willing to sa- South; but the danger to mad im- | crifice largely to satisfy the be apprehended is, that the representative mind will | not be colored and ump d by the hues and determinations now rapidly marking the muss of the people. Light has been breaking in upon men.

Growing weaker every day, they abandon their course with a re- lnetance couching itself im the tone ot a theatrical Hercules, ot of a bully just cx his error Accustomed to rail and blaster, they fanutly reite- sate their dogmas, erated with the miserable enathermas and threats which asually characterize | the speech ot the defeated, ead make their wishes the fathers of their hopes on every possible tion.

Hopes are now centred on the action ot Mr. Webster. Should he offer a compromise suited to the peculiar crisis, the most beneficial results may be anticipated, not only for ‘he country, but for hie own position among the | people. The fear is, that he will be restrained from the generous impulse of saving his country, by en- | deavoring to preserve himself in the affections of ihe free soil men of Massachusetie—a poor ambi- tion, 1t must be confessed, compared to that of con- centreting his talents for the settlement of the Great controversy. Added to this, also, there are apprehensions that, in the vain desire of sustaining the cabinet policy, he may only try the power of his persuasive eloquence upon Congress. If snch be the @etermination, the speech will be either 4 total failure as to effect, or, it must be the most coneerec take car with the | voile, 1s their last and only support, open for their especial benefit—nay, more: the Union itselt must be endangered, if not dissolved, lest the fate which they have so long courted and deserved, should overtake them.
