The ability cf there mon to agree upon so reasonable and impartial a plan of settlement, is. bappy augury. There is nothing in it to which a decent show of argu- ment can be opposed from any arty, unlecs it be the application (not the ‘restora ion,” for it never existed there) of the Miss.asi Compromi.e line to all the remaining territories of the Uuion— which ia obnoxious to the consciences of the atrict- e opponents of slavery in the Republican par- ty. Even this proposition, however, as wo un- derstand it, does not cover the positive estab- Hshment of slavery south of the line, but simply provides that wile it shall not be permitted north of 36 dog. 30 min., it stall not be prohibird in any manner, Bouth of that latitude, in the existing territory of the Union, We do not hesitate to say that the strictest moral opponent of slavery-extension may ‘with good conscience assent to this arrangement, for the simple reason that while it surrenders no practicable or existing barrier to slavery south, itecoures a positive barrier northward which dows pot now exist and cannot be otherwise ob- tained within the presont Union, The only objection urged with any show of force by the most ultra Republicans, is that it will be made @ precedent or a fuloram for new pro-slavery agitatins and aggressions in (sntral America and Mexico. To this the odvious answor is that a distinc ly expressed understanding to the con- trary on the party of patriotic msn of both sec- tions ought to be suilicient, and will be cheor- fully agreed to. ‘The other propositions are in every particular just what they should be, independent of the pressure of national peril. They are simply just acd right, It is proceed to remove the neces- aity for personal liberty acts by eveusing to the fugitive atrial by jury inthe state where ho is held to service, under the custody of the U, Marshal of such state, and by repealing the ex- tra feo allowed the U. 8, Commissioner for remanding a slave. The South will be as glad ‘es the North to prevent the kidnapping of free Wegroes, and routbern juries can be trusted with that duty astafely as norchera, ‘The Personal Liberty Acts can then be i with safety ‘end honor, and certainly inevery state where they exist ‘The constitution to be amended so as more seourely to probibit any interference by Congress aewlth davery where it now exists by law; includ- ing the federal possessions in the 8 juthern states, and also the District of Columbia, unless by con- gent of Marylend and the inhabitant of the Dis- telot, and with compensation to the owners, ‘The inter-state slavo trade not to be interfered “ with, and the African slave trade to be porpetu- ally prohibited, We publish elsewhere a Union postition now cireulating in this city, and already signed not only by leading conservative Democrats, but by Prominent and extreme Republicans, A largo Coron of canvassers will at ones collect the volun- tary suffcages of our citizens in favor of its con- tents, Itembraces, substantiaily, the principles of concitiaticn above stated, and ought, in our judgment, to be signed by every lover of his country, and especially by every Republican, ‘The only question upon which we have felt amy doubt, in this conneeiion, bas been that of the propriety and efficacy of any efforts at com- promise, duting the present cundidon and atti- tude of the South. We present under another head reasons which have convinced us thet a move- ment to strengthen the bands of conservatism in the South is peculiarly beooming, and will prove highly efficient, at this very ti Help for the tou Tus public dispatches from the South appar ently indicate nothing but the very insduess of dopravity— the condision of a people incapable of reason, imtonsible to the leve of their country or the pity of their kind, upoy whom conciliation is like oil upon fire, and to whom the last argumont of force is the only tit or applicable porsuasive, The daily southern news kives the precise pictare we ebould imagine of & mob furious with passion and swollen with Insolence, sweeping public moa and institutions before them and along wich them ke a cloud of ebaf, in which the guilty and the helpless are icdistinguishably commin- gled. We tave reason to believe that the picture is true to the life~ehat the horrible phrenzy which carries every thing before it, is no more the rising of the people of the Boath than a tornado is an inwurrection of nouses and trees, The cry of intolerable tyranny and rapine is dally rising louder from every portisn of the Bouth to, whic this tertitle insurrection of the baser’elements of society has extended. The ssuthern peo- ple (if we could but hear them) are be e@whing us to give them » moral foothold oa which they can make « stand against ‘the demeniac hordes which their depraved poli+ tical leaders have raised againat the constitution and interests of society. Toe infection is spread: tag ia every direction; black bested demas. Gogues are everywhere ralsrng the dregs of hu- ‘man natere in insurreetion; and the conscious- Cea of their opportunity and strength runs like electricity through the vicious and criminal fraternity from the northernmost to the south- @nmost border, A)l who have an interest in Justice, order and pence, are paralyzed oF whirled along in the tempest, Some. whore the belih riiog must be met, withsiood and stopped, or it will evon crots the border and ewsep over tte North as well sa the South, It is now for the North to wapply to the Bouth the means of checking the epreading reign of terror, by » coarse of action om that slavery question which is mide the pre- text and the means of all this destruction, such as the law and order and patriotisin of the whole ¢ven ministers of religion, ate found in the van of this ferocious movement? So they were in the French reign of terror. Ronmvrtmans himeslf was an original apostle of peace and non resist- fence, These men are carried away Eke leaves in. the tempest, before s power they can neither eemtrol mor withstand. Weall witnessed, bat @ faw weeks since, how reluctantly and slowly the better elses of South Carolina statesmen were forced into the revolution, They are doubtless now trying te make the best of their porition, ax the rider of an infutiated beast holds his seat ina deaperate hops of doing something to guide the recklers race to come less disastrous oatastrophe, Wo rofer to a few published Instances of the prevailing terroriem. One Charleston letter re- ports the iavaston of private dwollings by equada of “Minute Men,” who exacted sumptaons en- tertainmont, and levied haavy contributions in money for their private use, by terror of arms, Ton dollars apioce was paid In one house to euch acompany at their requirement, after a revel at the forced expense of the master of the mansion. Another lotter received yesterday by « gentle: man in this eity, from a merchant in Charleston, describes the reign of terrer there as complete, Armed bards of ‘the lowest of Gxl's creatures,” from all parte of the Southern states, (ho rays) go about from houro to house, levying contributions of money ard whatever they de- sire, Mon of property are force! 10 support the revolutionary leaders and their forces under pe- nalty of confircation,or by threats of burning their houses ard danger to their persons. One firm is mentioned as having drawn their check for 83 000 undor requisidon, with the informa'ion that this was to be understood as only « begin- ning. If the present state of things contin much longer, all the property of the citizens will be wept away. The Tribune has information that Gov. Piceens himself has written to ao army officer of high rank, who is # native of Bouth Carolina, requesting him to come te Charleston, and protect them from the mob, In otkor states, the disunion mb, hounded on by the politicians, control the elections, pick the conventions, and precipitate all classes, no- tens volena, into revolution. A merchant in this city, who recently received a letter from a wealthy planter in Alabama, has furnished the Times with the following extract.

Just such relgn of terror, with the difference of me‘ropolitan resources, extent and intensity, the Mophistophlles of oar own depraved clisses would fain reproduce here, Imagine Fxanaxvo Woop with ten thousand armed ruflians at his heels, over-running the city, and dispoting of the life and property of all opposers at his rovereizn pleasure, and we have upposition not too remote to be unplessantly vivid, and a counterpart in kind to the helpless misery which ca'ls from the South for our sym- pathy and fraterral aid. A few days ago, we had the intelligence from Mexico that Muramon had euddenly attacked a large force of the Liberals, at Toluca, capturing the garrison and thelr officers, including Generals Beantozanat, Decou.apo and Govanrss. ‘This succeseful piece of strategy revived the sinking hopes of the Church party, but if the news which we publish today be true, their re joleings over the Toluca exploit were soon brought to an end. Dispatches from New Or- loans announce that Mizamom was completely routed by the Liboral army on the 22d ult.; that be fled the Capital on the 24th, and on the 25th, the liberals entered and tock quiet possession of the city. New Orleans dispatches are not always of a trustworthy character, but this news we are dis posed to accept as genuine. Our previous ad- vives from the City of Mexico were to the effeot that the end of Minamon's rule was believed te bo near, ard that be was anxious to make some arranger eat with the liberals, They, however, had rejected all his overtures, At the same time, Gen, Oaraaa, the most successfal of the Hberal loaders, was concentrating an army ef 30,000 men for the capture of the Capital. Omrmas bas twice beaten Mc#amom in the field, and he bas, we hope, crowned his triumphs by a victery #0 decisive that it will end the clvil waria Mexico and open the way for the establishing of a stable government, The cause of the liberals has been much aided by the sympathy snd encouragement afforded them by the people and Government of the Uniied Btates, But it is cause of humiliating reflection tbat the great nation to which they looked so steadily for counsel ard friendly aslet- tanoe, shouf, in the day of their triumph, be agitated through all its limits by the disorgani- zing tchemes cf trsitors who labor to prodace im their own land all the herrors of revolution and civil war, While the sunshine of hope breaks over the desolation which fratricidal strife has wrou,bt in Mexico, the gloom of despair is rpreading over parts of our tbeloved country, Ought not the example of Mexico cause even wildest disuvionists to pausein thelr mad career ‘apd count the coat of thelr unnatural and ruin- ous policy ?
