The Question.
We hid intended, according to promise, to
consider the President's plan as a substitute for
the compromise: but the debate in the Senate
appears to be at present preparing the way for
every tnan(every northern man at least,) to come
to an opinion upon the matter very readily. So
we wait for the developments that are to come.
The reader will observe that Mr. Clay insists
that slavery is excluded fru.n the Mexican ter
ritory, both by the condition of the country and
by good laic, and that the compromise doss r.of
annul that laic. This is hi" opinion, and unques
tionabiy an honest one; we hope, too.it will
turn out to be true, if the compromise is carried:
but let it be observed that other Senators, and
members of the compromise committee, argue
that slavery is not excluded, and that the com
promise will confirm the right of Southern men to
introduce slavery. Lei the reader also observe,
that the committee's report (see first pigc,) does
not contain the agreeable doctrine advanced by
Mr. Clav in his sneech. Is it wrong to infer
that the committee disagieeJ on this point ?-
We think not. There are tiro opinions,
then)
about the effect cf this bill : there is doiilii about it-
This doubt may lie solved: if un the right side
the compromise may be tolerated ; if on the w rong
side aw.iy uilh it!
Another Annexation War I
There is little room to doubt that some here
fiom 0,000 to 10,000 United States citizens are
ere this embodied and advancing upon the Isl
and of Cuba to revolutionize it. They go in
the sacred name of Liberty to grasp more slave
cursed territory ; they go with arms and nurcy
furnished in this country, probably nobody
knows; they go in defimce of oar own joiern
nient in violation of its laws and cannot
claim its protection if they sh ill need it, as per
haps they "ill. Narciso Lopez is commander
in chief, and Gov. Quitman of Mississippi is
supposed to he s 'cnnd in command. The men,
with arms and provision- to some extent, have
succeeded in getting away as emigrants for Cal
ifornia; thus avoiding suspicion. The Govern
ment sent on orders to intercept the expedition,
the moment intcllignc' was received of it
probably too lite, honevt r.
The Compromisea test vote.
A test vole has been taken on the Comprom
ise bill in the Senate ihe motion being to lay
the bill on the table and p-oceed to the bill fur
the admission of Caliton.i i as an independent
measure. It was lost, by our voies : absent

the right side. Can the Vermont Patriot tell
where the "dough faces' are to be f nind ?
Why should Tiras be paid? The Sim to be
offered Texas by the compromise bid is probably
ten millions of dollars. For what? We learn
from Mr. Clav'.-. repo:t that it is to ay for taking
nil the land she claims la New Mexico, (two de
grees of latitude in bri adth, containing 125,93'i I
f quare miles, or about 7l),957,l0 acres,) and for
her forts, navy, revenue, &c, "Inch became the
pro'city of the U. S. by annexation. The U.S.,
however, is no! to be discharged from any claim,
if any, "Inch the creditors uf Texas may have.
If the t"o degrees bicidtli of land is to be saved
from slavery by the means of this bill, we are
resdy to stand our share of the money. Just
clap on the Proviso, or its equivalent, and let
Texas have the cash. In justice, however, we
don't believe Texas has a shado"' of claim to
the land: but then, the locofocos hustled her into
the Union without rixitvc iiehNortheiim ai:d
Westlrn eoodart, and thus gave her a chance
to claim uhat she phases, and to cover her claim
with her stavocratic constitution! Let the people
remember this fact when they think of the ten
million bargain. It is cm of the tixes of loco
locoism.
thrre an Organ '? At one time the " Na
tional Intelligencer' has been called the "or-j-an"
of the Preside nt, and at another "The I!e
public" just as the enemies of the administra
tion could find matter to find fault with in ei
ther. Tnc editorial chur of the Republic has
just changed hands, the retiring editors declar
ing that they disagreed with the Cabinet on
certain matters. It is certain that they have of
late occupied grcund on the s'avery question
(in favor of" compromise,") which the Pre-ident
does not hold. The same is true of the " Intel
ligencer." We suppose the truth to be that
the administration has no organ, as that word
has usually been applied, and will have none.
"The Republic," iike the "Intelligencer," is
nevertheless a Whig organ, and so is every
.Whig paper.

A modest yellow covered volume, all in the
poetic fashion printed tt Rutland, and dedica
ted to lion. D. 1. Thompson. Ah! here Is an
other ermont poet and very young, too ;
for the publisher tells us that the first piece was
composed in the author's twelfth year, "and
many of the others at a period little less remote'
a young lad's book, then. Well, the book is
very creditable to bo young an author, and we
hope the promise of richer fruit will not be dis
appointed. Specimens, taken very nearly at ran
dom, will be found on our first page. The book
is for sale by E. P. Walton &. Son. Buys, just
see what this Lidd in a Spencer his done.

the July number will be the first of a new vol

Whig State Convention.
We had hop id, before this time, to hate seen
some in licattjiis of a Whig State Convention.
At the risk of being considered too forward in
ihis matter, c take leave to suggest that the
State Convention should be held, tins j car, as

By the way, the Buston Mail says Mr. Clark
is a man of bad character. A citizen of this
village, who is acquainted "ith Clark, de-cribcE
him as a cleier, good-natured man, alto
gether too much that "ay to be guiliy of a mur

Mail.

be applied by Congress in any case; vlnlu (Jen.

Ihe territories does not preclude the application
of it lo their constitutions, proi ided they do not
contain frre principles. Good honest free noil

and carried out as it may be, would inevitably

Mosdat, May 13.
The Senile chamber was much crowded with
spectators today, to hear Mr. Clay'sspcech upon
the report of the Compromise Committee. Pe
titions from citizens of the District of Columbia,
for a rcorganizilion of the Judiciary, vcro pre
sented by Mr. Walker and others. A commu
nication was received from the Wtir Department
in relation to the commerce of the North" estern
lakes. The Census bill, with the House amend
ments, was made the order of the day for loinnr
ow. Mr. Dickinson introluced a bill lor the
coinage of three cent p.eces, of silver and cop
per, "Inch was referred to the Committee on
Finance.
The California bill was then taken up, when
Mr. Clay spoke tno hours upon the subject. Du
ring the delivery of the bpeech, the galleries
nere densely crowded, lie said, although no
member of the Committee agreed precisely with
him in every particular embraced in the report,
yet that fact simply was no ground for discour
agement. He indulged a hope that they might
yet agrte upon all essential points; and that the
Senate would pass the proposed measures by a
handso ne major ty. On the action upon this re
p irt the peace ot the country depended. He de
tei ded the claim ol Ca'ilbrni i to the right of
represent nion in Conres. The proposition ot
3(i teg. 3l'm. i'8 herSoiithtrn boundary, came
strangely from tile S mth. It slaves nere taken
to any put uf California, they nould escape by

he would have recommended a more compreln n

Mexico if their buiinJa.ies eie not spcclilv
defined and sctilid. He thought a pruv.sun

would opcra'C equa'ly for the North and S mth
He alluded sorcaslually to Mr. Seward's bill,
and showed its connection in theory with G irri
son's doctrines, rtcenlly promulgated at the Tab i
ornacle, in the city ot New York. He had no
coiiccs-ions to make to lint class ot politicals.
He "as glad to observe so many at the Noith

understood .Mr. Clay lo have cast upon it.
Mr. Clay denied that he had gone into the
question of title; his position was mat no matter
how ooor I fir title of possession lo a terruory,
therr loci of the Territory continued the same
as beloic i s acquisition, uuill the acquiring
power should, by Legislative act. extend i.s
laws over said Territory.
Mr. Utisk proceeded at considerable length,
in supiHirt of iho claim of Texas, slating iu the
course of his remnks, that the Prcsidnl had
recently instructed his Federal officers in ihe
disputed territory not to interfere in any contro
versy which m iy arise between the cuizjns of
the Territories and the State authorities ol Tex
as, iu vindication of the State jurisdiction.
Mr. Davis d .Mississippi, said his .object in
moving the amendment, was to ascertain dis
tinctly whelhei or not the people of the South
were to be permitted lo go into the Territories
proposed to be established with their vlave prop
erty with any degree of security. He believed
that the South had a nht lo carry their properly
into the territories. He claimed some promo
tion in its u-e and enjoyment.
Mr. Clav onnosed the amendment, admitting
that us ill'icl would be as Mr. Davis stated. 11
nuuld vote against it on the ground that the sec
tion as it stands gave all proper protection to
citizens ot the boutlu lie appealed to those
who had acted with .Mr. Calhoun, whether they
could persis' in asking the positive introduction
of Slavery into Territories? Would not the
exercise of such pawer admit the power to pro
hibit Slaverv ? llJt again. Why should Sena
tors embarrass the pending proposition by an
attempt to scturea piuviston protecting Slavery,
where it could not and would not go?
Mr. Davis said he was contending for a prin
ciple, for the recognition of tne rights ol the
Soulh.
Air. Yulec said that he had voted to lay the
bill on the table this morning, for the purpose ol
expressing his discountenance ot the entire
scheme presented by the Committee of Thir
teen, and proceeded with some general remarks
adverse lo the bill and report. In the course
of his observations, he expressed his surprise at
the position taken by Air. Clay, who, in the Alls,
soun contest, eloquently and vehemently main
tained that it was not only just and right to the
South, but consistent with humanity, that the
North should permit and aid in the diffusion of
Slavery in the Territories. He (Air. Vulee)
could be satisfied with n0. such scheme of sel-
tlement as the one proposed, nor any that failed
to recognize the rights of the South, and vindi
cate ils honor.
Mr. Eootc ex'prcssed his gratification that Air.
Vulcc was the only Southern man who, by a di
rect vote, had expressed himself called upon to
express his entire disapprobation of the compro
mise. He hailed this tact as an omen of good,
and hoped that after an interchange of opinion
in the Senate, the views and feelings of all
Southern gur tlemen would be so modified as to
stcure their support to the measure.
Mr. I'oote proceeded at length in support of
the proposition that ihe Alexican laws repealing
slavery in .Mexico, were no longer in force in
the newly acquired Territories, arguing tncre
from that the provi-ion of the bill leaving the
question of Slavery in the Territories to the
let loci, not onh recognized, but confirmed the
rishts of ihe South. Iu conclusion, Mr. I'oote
gave notice that if Mr. Davis' amendment was
rejected, lie would move lo amend the ten'h sec
tion of the bill, so as to provide in term, that
the Terntoiial legislature shall neither estab
lish nor inhibit African Slavery. The debate
continued between Messrs. l-'oote and Yu'ce.
the former occupying the greater portion ol the
time, until -1 o'clock, when .Mr. I'oote gave way,
and the Senate a Ijoumed.
In the House, the letter of Sir Henry Bul-nr
to Mr. Ciavton, in relation to the trade Iron the
Atlantic to the Pacific coast of the United States
and uoainst certain changes in our Tariff, was
the principal topic discus-ed.

Fridat, May 17.
The Senate was not in sessiun.
In the House ihe committee of investigation
on the Galptn claim made taeir report. The
majority (five locos) report
1st. That ''the claim was not a just demand
against the United Stales."
The entire committee (five locos and four
whigs,) report
SJJ. That the act of Congress made it the du
ty of the Secretary of the Treasury to pay the
principal of the claim.
The majority also report I
3d. That the act aforesaid did not authorise the
Davment of interest, and the payment of interest
was not in conformity with law and precedent.
The minority report that the payment of both
principal and interest was just and proper.
Finally, the committee unanimously agree
that the Secretary of War (.Mr. Crawford, who
waslargely interested in the claim,) has in no
way acted improperly in the matter; and also
that the other olhcers who passed upon tne claim
were noi apprized ot Air. Crawford s interest
and hence all are clear from every imputation
upon their integrity.
Who is to be blamed? Is it the whig offi
cers who allowed the claim? Nn, the last C'on
gress ordered them by law to pay a cl liin which
ihe IojoIucos of this committee declare nas not
a just claim. That Congress, then, clearly was
w.ung. Now are these officers wrong in allow
ing inlctest '! If the claim was ju-t as the la"'
decided ll lo he why is not the payment of in
terest just? Shall the government be privileged
to do what an individual would not be CrinuteiJ
10 do that i-, refuse interest on a just debt?
11 is no answer to say that the claim was not
just: ihe fine said it was just, by ordering pay
ment; .u.d we think the executive officers had
no right to go behind ihe law. II there was a
mistake in allowing interest, it was a mistake
shared by certain officers ot'l'ie late administra
tion. The officers' of ihe late administration,
honevcr, were divided on th question ; so were
Ihe rifficeis ot the .resent admiulst a Hon. On
ihe whole, it the L.co majority is right, it seem
lo us that the burden ol blame is after all casi
upon the Congress tint allowed tne claim. If it
had been rejected, there would have been nei
ther principal nor interest to qu irrel about.

will bo believed when this turns out to be true.
