ingtoo,,Nsty4tl, in which be thni speaks
,
of an interview lie lied that morning with
Geu. Scott in relation to his publicly "de
fining his position" on the, compromise:
I had a very long, free and full inter
change of views with him, and t found his
position to be precisely. this in reference
to his writing:—lie is differently advised
by Iriends North aml.South (whose coma.
eels are entitled to consideration) to write,
and not: to write ; a large majority, inch,-
j ding many from the South, urging him to
remain silent. This condition of things
embarrasses him not a little, as his indi
viduil preference would be to publish his
views at large, while lie does not feel him
! belt at liberty, in his present position, to
take the bit between his teeth, in disregard
of the advice of much the larger portion
of his friends Irmo both sections of the
country. If writes, lie obliges a small,
and perhaps offends a large number of
those whose counsels he ought to listen
to; while if he rimains passive, lie gives
no particular cause of offence to either.
Gen. Scott occupies no doubtful or e
quivocal position on the compromise, nor
does he desire tn& so; and if lie did I
would not support him, even if nomina
ted. His views are freely expressed to
j every man who approaches hint, no mat
, ter to what party or section he may be
long. He is accessible to every respec
table man in the country. whdelionses to
approach hint. and he. has never hesitated
to say that he is io fatior of the compro
miscnteasures in all their parts, and cp.
posed to any disturbance, agitation or al
j teration of ,the fugitive slave law ; and lie
enjoins confidence and secresy on no man
to whom he makes this communication.
Under the circumstances mentioned, lie
has come to the conclusion (cud I ineline
to think, wisely) that to true course fur
j'him to pursue is to Oldish nothing, un
less he be the nominee; when, if the con
_ventioia_thall adopt a eOIIISQ_ that W ill make
his aeceptatice necessary, or otherwise
afford him the opportunity, he will speak
out freely and fully, and this would place
hint, in my opinion. in a more elokiited
position than if lie were to permit him

JAs many of those who escape fron►
bondage appear to have resolvedupon "lib
erty or death," the Harrisburg Telegraph
thinks it would be no more than justice
for Congress to alter the Fugitive Slave
Law so as to secure to the Slave Commis
sioners the bounty awarded to thew offi
cers. They might do it by enacting, that
where the alleged slave was killed iu
the attempt to take him, the bounty
should be paid upon delivery of the ears,
the same as in the case of fox scalps. This
would secure to that worthy class of offi
cers the consideration for which they de
liberately "throw conscience to the devil."

terrible "rupture" in the Whig ranks on
the Presidential question, and serve up to
their readers with considerable relish gross
ly exaggerated representations of the diffi

signed to draw off attention from the seri

Compromise men, and Free-Soilers—"Old

to the doings of the Whig Caucus, the Wash

General Soon for the Presidency, if he was
nominated to-morrow without any refer
ence to Compromise resolutions. The
real defection, so far as it goes, is almost
entirely of a purely personal chlracter.—
And the question of the Vice Presidency,
let me say, has quite as much to do with
it as the Presidency.
It is true that Maryland was not present
in caucus, except in the person of Mr. E
'vans, who arnired in town late at night
and was only there at its close. But it is
likewise true that that State has no Whig
in Congress who is any way disposed to
wardyibusliering. Maryland is a border
State, is sensitive on the Gorsuch murder.
and is earnest for the Compromise; but
she has uo Whigs in Congress who have
any desire to throw themselves into the
arms of the Locofocos, or turn disorgani
zere. As to lientucky, Mr. Humphrey
Marshall makes all the fuss. The Whigs
in Congress from that State, with the ex
ception of Mr. Marshall, are gentlemen
who entertain no desire or expectation of
a •rupture.'' They will prove good and
true men. As to Tennessee, John Bell
and Gov. Jones are unteduced, and will
never desert the Whig flag tinder any cir
cumstances. Mr. Gentry, we are pained
to say, has believed his antecedents, and
disappointed his friends. But for his sin
gle case, we should say unhesitatingly,
that every man in Congress from the South,
whom the Whigs had a good reason to re
ly upon. can he relied on in this emergen
cy.. Mr. Gentry alone, of all the faithful,
has gone oil' ma a tangent. Whether or not
he sees a Mordecai in his visions, we shall
not undertake to determine.
No, gentlemen, there is no such stam
pede as the telegraph has represented.—
But its lies have gone, and the truth
will he slow to overtake them. But those
lies will do no mischief in the long run."
DEa.,.A more flagrant instance of favor
itism has never seen witnessed since the
formation of our government than was ex
hibited by C ov. Bigler iu signing the char
ter of the Easton Bank, after vetoing the
Erie and other banks. By that act ho
gave to, Northampton county $700,000 of
banking capital, while ho deprived the en
tire country north and west of Pittsburg,
one hundred and fifty to two hundred miles
in extent, of the use of a single dollar of
banking capital. The solution of this glar
ing inoonsisteney lies in the fact that tho
Easton Bank is managed and controlled by
members of the Looofoce party and person
al friends of the Governor. The President
of the new Bank is,either a delegate to the
Looefooo National Convention or is on, the
Locofoco Electoral Ticket. Easton has
now two Banks. And yet the orga4B of
the opposition, with , most fulsome adula•
tion, are shouting hosannas to the wisdom,
consistency, and integrity of theirßank-ha

The Ladles and the Plaine Law.
- IC7PA portion of the delegation from
Philadelphia in the late Logialaturo took
an active part in' the efforts to defeat thie ,
"Maine Law." Last week the 4itutea of
the City and County held a largo meeting
and paid their respects to these recreant rep
resentatives by unanimously adopting the
iiiinexiid resolutions, which appear in the
published minutes of the meeting :
Resolved, That a committee of twenty
ladies be appointed to tender to Messrs.
Mathias, Crabb, Flanigan and other Leg's
litters from the City and county of Phila
delphia, a mural crown, and a triumphal
entry into the city, in consideration of
'their eminent and unparalleled services in
defeating the Maine Law, and thereby,
while contributing to give to tavern and
tippling houses what belongs to deserted
wives and helpless children, they at
the same time have secured to them
selves and their fellow citizens at large,
the indefeasible and glorious privilege of
getting drunk.
Resolved, That the said members ot the
Legislature be invited to attend a public
meeting of the wives and children, and
relatives of the i nebriates of the city aml
county of Philadelphia, in order that they
may enjoy the merited and rich reward of
beholding the effects of the blessings which
they have conferred upon their constitu
ents.
Resolved, That it be respectfully re
commended to the said Legislators to use
their unrivalled talents and earnest efforts
to carry out their philanthropic scheme,
by introducing a bill into the Legislature
providing for the erection of au additional
almshouse and penitentiary in each county
of the State, in order that the beggars and
the felons whom they -have made may be
suitably end promptly accommodated.
Resolved. That the said Legislators, af
ter'having complied with these humble pe.
titious, and thereby tilled the measure of
their renown, be requested forthwith to
resign, in order to avoid the disgrace in
cident sometimes to the instability of civic
honors, of being turned out, a result more
deeply to be deplored, though it is feared
not to be avoided.
Resolved, That the procession be pre.
ceeded by one thousand Lucifer Lamps,
borne by the Brewers and Malsters, follow
ed by a ligure of Bacchus, astride of a
brandy cask, with a ruin bottle for his
sceptre, find a punch bowl for his crown,
irtariniolie appropriate inscription of "Stitt

Law."
The Prospect.
IrrThe Washington correspondent of
the N. York Journal of Commerce, always
well informed on the subject he discusses,
thus speculates upon the chances of the ri
val Whig candidates for the Presidency in
the National Convention, to he held next
month :
"The friends of General Scutt are not al l
all discouraged as to his nomination, by'
the position, taken by the Southern Whigs: I
They claim lour votes for him trout the
Kentucky delegation, and four front V ir•
ginia. They allow Fillmore and IVehster
only three votes in the whole New Yol k
delegation, and not twenty altogether, from
all the non-slaveholding States.
lu the present state of circumstances,
the friends of General Scott claim one
hundred and sixty votes front the non
slave-holding Stairs ; three rotes from Del
aware ; four trout Keith:sky and tour from
V irginia,,;-----tuaking 177 votes : teat mg
1%.1r. Filliiiore in a minority ol 119. This
they state as the result of the first ballot ;
antlthey go On to claim the ultimate astona
of all or nearly all the Northern Whig del
egates from the non-slave-holding States.
Iraomage of the Homestead Bill.
111 - 7" Au important measure—the hmne
stead bill, so rolled—passed the I T. S. house
of Representatives, on 11'(Anesday, by 2.0
majority. The measure has been largely
discussed during the present session, invol
ving as it did the whole subject of the dis
position of the extensive public domain.—
The bill gives to actual settlers, under cer
tain conditions and restrictions, including
so many years of occupancy, a portion of
the public lands, with the view of encour
aging their settlement and thus enhancing
the value of the lands contiguous to them,
and adding to the common stock, products
and wealth of the country generally.

if left to the guidance of their own instinct;
but if any kind of fish, when newly taken
from the net, is held with its tail up and its
