ANOTHER CO M PRO VfISE. The demonstrations of Northern sentiment indicate unerringly that another Compromise wilt be forced upon the South at the ensuing session of Congress. The Fugitive Slave Bill ?the jxior pittance doled out to her as an equivalent. for her ignominious ejection from the Territories of the Union? is to be repealed or I so tuodifit-d as to remit?) it inefficient o- useless. Acquiescence or submission t<> the wrongs then intlic ed have served hut as incentive* to tne perpetration of further aggesdons; and the fitting subserviency of tiout'.ern k:;1> m'.-sio;ists is hailed as evidence t .at the p <? :! o the South are prepared to d < more, and ?/> Mitf*: j more for the privilege of "hewers <?i i wood and drawers oi w :V in this glorious j and glorified Union. As one of the most pregnant indications n; what may be expected of the Freesoil majority in Congress, we annex a portion of an article from the Philadelphia .1-, i:?? u-|.; arnl- p?nliev.|. American, >ue tra'UMg ?. i?^ ... ? v. vanin, in reference to a proposed rnion meet J ing to be held in that city: "There can be 110 fear of such n meeting : failing in success, in numbers or enthusiasm; . but we should ask ourselves whether all is ' gained we seek?and whether the mischief is i to be cured and the danger prevented?bv the simple rc-nssertion in public meetings of our loyalty, and the renewal 0!' our friendship for ; the people of the South. There is something more required it is manifest, than this; and wise ; men and good citizens will be less anxious to make cheap professions of patriotism than to remove the real cause of contention. It will ; not do to cry peace when there is no peace, or 1 say we will save the Union and make no effort : to do so. To calm excitement we must re- ! move or modify the cause, uonsicering me j immediate outburst of indignation that followed it, and the wild and dangerous passions begin* | niug to he indulged in, we cannot hope for either |?eace or safety until some change has been made in the slave law, rendering it less obnox*: ions to Northern ideas and prejudice. It is upon this point a compromise is needed. Mv^ACHrsETT".?The openly threatened! violation of the fugitive slave law by the people of Massachusetts, and in the very heart of the "Athens of America,'" has aroused universal i indignation at the South, nnd excited appre- ; hensions for the continuance of the Union, j We yet hope to see the law executed there, by | the civil posse or the military power if necessary, j As thinirs now stand, we cordially second the j following idea thrown out by the Republican, j Baltimore, which purchases an immense amount, of Massachusetts manufactures, is already discussing tlie propriety of adopting the same policy. "We suggest to the friends of the South whether the present would not be favorable opportunity to form associations in Richmond, Virginia, and the South generally, resolving no longer to purchase any production of .Massachusetts labor. Ifsuch a course requires any sac* rifices, we ought to he as willing to make them asour fathers were in the Revolution. A people who are incapable of self-sacrifice do not descnp* to be. free, and will sooner or later lose their independence." The New York Express properly sketches the condition of things at Boston, and truly points out the consequences, as follows: " The slave case in Boston shows ns that practical Nullification exists in that citv already. The act of Congress is virtually nullified. "Not only is the slave refused to 'he deliver, ed up,' hot the claimant i- put under SI0,030 bonds in a slander suit, for calling t ie sl.a? a slave. - i . n . i i "It ? evident trr.t iv.isron cannot inn;; nui- j lify tlie Jaws without reciprocal ! elsewhere.

The capitol was a perfect jam. Friend Humphrey was. on motion, called to the chair and enthusiasticrlty received. He was assisted by a large number of Vice presiIt dents and Secretaries.

And ib it a liter, that because "Tin* Southern Patriotha? originated with, and belongs to an association of gentlemen who own nearly a thousand slaves, and are worth several hundred thousand dollars," that this is to bo regarded as a recommendation or a reason why it should he supported in onr midst? This may be a reason with -nm?\ but we cannot see why an announcement of 'I i-- sort should entitle the "" Southern Patriot" (a rr > d name, but :tn awful as our little ". the Charleston Son seems to think.) to * uthern patronage.
