Let the South have all her righu,butlet the North have hera also. The representatives of Republican sentiosent at Washington cannot, dare not yield by way of compromise, any of the issues i.,-.A in .h. M.n.;,n nf IPfiO. Those v va vu aa v'w o " issues were either right or wrong. If wrong, they should be abandoned, but if right, never coar promised. The people b.ve decided, at the ballot-box, that the doctrines enunciated at Chicago are 'right, and until, el tie ballet box, they ebaDge this decision, those que.tion. are settled. How great principles can be compromised, we have never been able to determine, and how an adjustment of pretest difficulties cae be made with traitora to the present Union, we are equally unat le to aee. Let patriot, meet patriots upon comuon ground and compromise all that can be compromised, bot for Union men to meet those who are in favor of disunion for lovers of this Federal comp.ct to meet those who are seeking to tear this compact into Iracmeot. and expect an adjotBnt of prettut difficulties, we think is felly. Too tab. and Iverson and Wigfalt are traitors, and the motto of patriots should be, "No compromise with traitors." 8tevens and Benjaaoin and Butt, are palheta. a.d with fhern patriots from the Verth should meet and adjust all greivanees.

Unfavorable as this exhibit is, it fails to l0rtny the des- iiution as it realy exists. The area of land cultivated in eornr was twelve thousand acres, and the yield five thousand two hundred bushels, or Some thing less than half a bushel to the acre. but even this meaner yield is deteriorated least one half by the cause, incident to the drouth, and much of it rendered en tirely worthless, by the ravages of the corn worm; there has not been raised in good sound corn over one thousand buahI .

There are about one hundred thousand people io Kansas; sixty thoussnd of these can probably take care ofthemselrea, many of them haviog aomo surplus, means ot their own, aod ethers have friends who will sasiat them. This leaves forty thous aud persona to be provided for, aod the provision must come from abroad, for it is not to be bad there, even thoogh theae poor people bad means to purchase, which they have not.) Some tniy ask how there happens to be so many people there dependent upon their crops for the bread they eat, and the clothes they wear. This is the answer : Poor men are the pioneers who first settle snd improve new countries; but few rich men are ever found among the first settler . Take an aversge class of emigraar..; one who owns a team with wuUh to trans port hia family to that remote frontier, and money enough to bay eighty acres of land; he build, a cabin, .nd commences im prevemeot; if the se.on is favor.ble be raises enough to sustain his family aod feed his small stock, until another crop come, round; but they moat have aoaae clothing and grocris, and rery likely fiere ia a Doctor's bill to pay; he finds ii hrd to getihreugh the winter without set ling r.ff what little .urplu. he has raised. only keeping enough to lat for bread nnlil wheat harvest, or until roasting ears come, or until the corn will do to grate for bread, depending mainly upon hi. gun for the balance.

It will be remembered that he was Postmaster at White Pigeon, io thia State, waa arrested for robbing the mail, examined by U. S.

The North would be the last to advocate laws derogatory to the interests of any State ; their personal liberty bills were not made to degrade the South, but to protect the free States from unlawful sei rares; where the South bad lost one man we h.d lost tw by unlawful mobs; the South own the Sen ate .od President, he did not.ee what they had to complain of. He then went on to argue that the Republican party was now the same it ever had been, that it stood where Washington, Jefferson, Jackson aod Clay stood;it holds the doctrine that slavery shall not exist ia (he Territories. He .aid the day of compromise, i. at an end; after the experience we had had in Congress iti. absolutely ridiculous to talk about them; the moment (be American people cut leo'e from the sheet anchor of Liberty, tbat moment the Republic is at an end; we must submit to the unalterable verdict of the people, he said it would yield to no compromise; we bad won vic tory aa all other, h.d won; the controversy must be met alone by the Constitution, a.d when we go astray from that we shall get into difficulty. The South claims the constitutional right to secede from the Union; if that be so we have not and never had a govern ment; South Carolina is a small State and we should not miss her much if swallowed up by an earthquake to morrow; for him self, he would allow her te go, but as a member of this Congress and ' supporter of the Constitution he could not do so; a State has no constitutional right to go out; they can revolutionize if they conqaer, they are right; If they are conquered they are rebel. HOUSE. Job u Cochrane offered a pre amble, setting forth that a conflict of opin ion threatening the peace and harmony of the Union, has arisen concerning the true sentiment and meaning of that part of the Constitution relating to African slavery withio the Territory of the United States, and that the opinion of a majority of the Supreme Court of the United States, as delivered by Chief-Justice Taney, recognizing property in slaves, should be receiv. ed as the settlement of the question as therein discussed and decided. He also proposed as an amendment to the Constitution, that Coogreea shall have the power to establish governments far any Tcrri tory, and the people therein having adopt ed a State Constitution, may be admitted into the Union, and that neither Congress nor the people daring their Territorial con dition, shall pass any law to annull or im 1 pair the rights of property therein refer red to the select committee. , Mr. Florence submitted the following resolution: Resolved, That the following amend ment, be proposed to the Constitution of the United States, the right of property in slaves is recognized aod no law shall be paaaed, and nothing shall be done to impair, obstruct or prevent the full and free enjoyment and use of such rights in any Territory and other property of the United States. On motion of Mr. Grow, Wednesday and Thursday were aet apart for the consider ation of Territorial business. The Speaker laid before the Houae a letter from the Secretary of the Interior, asking for an appropriation to supply the deficiencies for the suppression of the slave trade for the fiscal years ending 1S61 and 18C2.
