The loss to Mr. Laird will bo Very considerable, as all his hay, oats, &c., besides it carriage and wagon, in ell valued at about $3OO, were consumed, II was doubtless the work of an incendiary.

But no!—we are now told by a few Southern 1 men that the passage of the Compromise Bill U their ground of complaint! . Truly, these, men ate hard to satisfy. They are determined not to bo satisfied—they nro determined to agitate, threaten, and make impudent and insulting allu sions to the 1 people of the'North. Nay, more, the band, of Nullifies composing tbo Nashville Convention, declare in positive language for a ‘ dissolution Of tho Union ! What is this but Ifea -1 aonl—treason, the most bold and daring 1 Now,-* Iwe think U full lime a stop' should.be put to this ■ kind of language." It is time that those engaged [ in treason, whether they reside at the North or • the South, should be informed that such conduct! • will bo tolerated no longer. It is lime the Presi dent of the United Slates should bring to punish ' nionl all those who,threaten the peace of the ■ U _nlon. They are traitors to their country, and should be-ttoated as such* The’Nashville frailr ot’s Convention never should have been permitted Ito assemble. ■ The object, of the Convention in assembling at this time, is to recommend a disso lution of the Union; The President, therefore, would have been justified, nay, it was his duty, to prevent the assembling of that body. We ’ were ,pleased;'to 'sec it slated that the President had declared that lire provisions of the Compromise Dills should bo 1‘ carried out to tho. Very letter,” and that ho would employ the army lo.enforce the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Law, if it should be found neces sary. This is right—at every hazard the laws must be enforced and carried out. Bill, is it hot also tho duly of the Executive to punish and pul down treason 1 The men now-assembled in con* | clave at Nashville not only pul the law at defiance, but also the Government, and recommend the people of the. South to,declare the Union dis solved, and" set up for themselves.” If Presi dent Fillmore had- but half tho nerve that ” old Hickory ” had, he would tell the mischief-makers at Nashville to disperse and go home, and he would employ the power of Government to com pel them to obey his commands. This, in out ' humble opinion, should be the courso of President Fillmore in this crisis. The people ate oisgusled with hearing'these constant threats against tho Union, and it is high lime that energetic measures should he employed to punish those who continue to make these threats. It Is therefore id be hoped that those in power will not shrink from the responsibility rest ing upon them. Departure,of U, S. Troops.-— On yesterday morning, a detachment of United. Stales Dra goons, comprising one hundred and five' men, under command of Uicut. WalkeH, left the mili tary post at this place.

Any attempt to cocrco the seceding Stales into tho mca? surcs-oftho majority is a gross assumption of power; and the South is recommended, in case any one Slate should secede, to support that.Slate* All the antic!* paled evils,'for the consideration of which this Con vention Inis been called, have been fully realized.— The South has been degraded by ilia virtual cxlcn sion of the Wilmol proviso over Californio, and the exclusion of slavery from Utah and New Mexico,— Nolsaliafiod wilb California,Utah and Now Mexico, Congress has bought, under a threat of bringing .down the militia if she refused to sell, territory from iho Stale of Texas, Tor the purpose of making that also free.

Riant I —Tho Penntyhanian, in commenting upon llio recent removal of a Democrat from one of tho very few offices yet,unappropriated by Whig rapacity, demands that the next administration, which, of course, will be Democratic, shall not leave a single Galpilinilo In office In any department.of Government. This Is duo tho great Democratic parly; and if we cannot gel a candidate of sufficient nerve to carry out this doctrine, lie will bo unworthy the votes of'the (tarty which has been so infamously treated by this pic bald Admlolatration, which stole into power by fraud and deception of llio mustgla ring character, and whiolilsnow the ridicule and cohlompl of the whole world.
