'Thd policy of the North now is (a Into numuber-of the .{o York Tribune indicates t) to wait awl irto keep their haiI on the pulse of tI. atient-if wq may so speak-and administer no more physic un -til they are satisfied the Southern patient will bear it. Besides the expenditures and disbursements of the General Government - are of immense importance to tho business scomtunity at the North. The munufac. - .'tures of the North are also clamorous tor - - more bounties in the shape of high duities to lbe evied upon the returns of the industrial exports of the South. Hence, ns we have already remarked, the Tribune, the most open and candid of the anti-slavery papers of te b'North, i: dicates as the true policy foi the.North, to cease the agitation of the slavery question, at least until another di. vision of spoils in the shape of Congressioni al appropriation bills, shall be matle. Thi "policy is, to lot the victim have rest unti the contents of the treasury be squandered One thing nt a time, is the game. Afte: this division, the war of aggression and ag itation can and will be resumed, and contin ued so long as we will bent it, only to be suspended at those anneal periods at which the tribute exacted from the South, by high and unjust taxatiotn, is to be divided ou among those who live in that favored ro glen whose hypocritical boast is, that "thci skirts are free from the sin ofslavery." - The Tribune gives us distinctly to un derstand that the North never will consen that. any portions of California, New Mexi Co or Utah shall over be open to the people of the. slave States. In this sentiment th( =Tribuneexpresses the universal sentimen of the whole North of all parties. An( we have to nakeup our minds to subni to this degrading.inoquality, and in the en 'to givo up our property, or like men deter rained, at once and without further delay, t "'iasert and maintain those rights and that in dependence which are so justly ours. But the Tribune not only shadows fort what is the policy of the North. but di-tinct ly fi timates that the Governtnent wi:l mak effort to coerce the obedience to irs mens Uros. If we doubted bef, re, such article '_frmthe-leading papers of the North, dis tinctly.,xhibit what the regard the conditio - s ~2tjny of the South! ourselves we have no hope for a bel Ic toof things at the North.

Hence those who have -been trae' (0the honor and high destinies of the 'South, 'have, like the Arabian Prince in the legend, found the air to swarm with invisible foes. Thoy would lead the people In the path efhonor and ultimate safety, though joeihly of present danger, but innumterabledylficulties jtave been heaped up in that pathl, appellingdapgers are presented there, while on every side are spread the most enticing a4luremegts 6, forsake tlat rugged way.. The tendclrest and holiest memories and associatious are arrayed against them; the Union seems a sacred tidng, 'and his an implois, a'martricidal, hand th-t t shduld lift itself against it. On the other hand, all the real, and many im aginary-, dangers of disunion are depict ed, its in conveniences are maguiisl and its deprivation of social anei Cotnercial intercourse and of the common civil priviliges, ruciprocated b~y the States, seems like a cotnplete obliteration of their accustomed, necessary enjoyments, without which they might as well not live. Federal'pat ronage lure.s el'many a leader, and his followers helpless withont him, skulk with him then turn against the ranks, they have deserted. No de vice wlhich can assist in accomplishing the gre at object is neglected by the partisans of the- Com promise. Mr. CLAY desires - that, now while there is an apparent calm upon the surface of things-a calm which he hopes is real and last. ing-the "uriffmay be taken up and snodified. Mr. CLAY really wishes to change the issue. Who knows, better than he, the animosities which have existed between the great parties the Whig and Democratic parties ; and how, sooner than bugle, blast will rally a squadron to its cornet, will either range itself under itslead ers when the party wordsbs spoken.. Proteestion is a resistless spell upon the ear of every. Whig; and no Democrst can hear it and his blood Ni. main cool.. Mr. C.yr knows that there i. not even an appt.en.tcalm upon -the sujfitceof thtis i f he a .~t tmtabp~t f inicr as but;tteVhig. as he Iu5.ptotec on nts elder petti not so dear as the darlinig chid of bis old age, at is made subservient to it. Mr. CLAY wishes to appeal to pony prejudices and revive old feudlsand' th:a, weaken and dis tract the defendlers of Southemn'tighs, already overnumnberedl but full of courage and ready for the fight. The South will be lost if Mr. CL.AY's ruse suceeds. Once Isrt.l from the path of du ty and honor andl she will stumble to her own destruction. As long as Southern Rights are menacedl let the words W~ig and Densocrat be forgotten. We extract fromn the 8un the following statements of mishaps on the S. C. Rail Roadi. The passenger train in comning dlown fromu hlamibnrg tn Saturday last, anti when in the act of turninug the lonig curve in sight of ihlackville, the iron rails suddenly rpen-. cd to the right and left and the lEngine droppledl between. VTe 'Tender and Bag gage Car Were thurowtn from the track down an ombankmtent of some ten or fifteen feet, smashing the Tendler to pieces, and very nearly dragging t.he passenger car after thetm. It appears the train wvas jut. beav. ing the old rails, and getting otn to the new, when the accident occurred. I1 ad it not been for the slow pace at which the Engine wast travelling, the consequences would have been disastrous-.e are gratified to say, however thatt wve have heard of no, one being injured. A bout 8 o'clock p. m. the *hrill whistle announced the arrival of the long expected Madl train. STILL AxoTIEEa....-TheO Cars in com ing from Hamburg yesterday met wvith another mishap. They had plain sail ing until they arrived at Melton's, 110 miles from is City, wvhen both of the passenger Ca attached to the train wveretharowvn f,/om the track, from some cause or other. Thle passengers had to make the best of a bod barguin, and ride in the Bag~gage Car, withi the ex. pectation of betier comfort .being pro vided for them at Branchiville. in this, they we're disappointed, nowever, as in thie Columbia Cars there wvas no room for themn, andl they hatd no oilher alter native but to take "deck passage" all the way down, arriving ot a seasonable hour (hetween 1 and ti,) in consequen. ce of the lightiess of the train.
