AUGUST A, G- A •
SUNDAY MORNING OCT 5, 1831
A Brief Review of (be Compromise
Measures.
The acts of the late Congress, known as
the Compromise Measure?, were six in num
her.
Ist. The admission of California as a State
2d. The Territorial organization of Utah
3d. The Territorial organization of New
Mexico.
4th. The Texas Boundary settlement.
sth. The Fugitive slave law.
6th. The law suppressing the Slave trade
in the District of Columbia.
The admission of California was opposed
by a majority of Southern members, but is
acknowledged to have been clearly within the
constitutional discretion of Congress. The
character of the State Constitu ion offered,
except to see that it was Republican, Congress
has been uniformly held by the opinion of
Southern Statesmen, incompetent to inspect.
The second measure was in strict conformity
to the demand of the South, and of Georgia
and against that of the Northern States. The
third was also in like strict conformity. The
fourth measure was a transaction botwe*n the
General Government aid Texas, to which
both were perfectly competent. The fifth was
in precise conformity to the will of the Sou h.
The sixth was opposed by the Southern mem
bers, but was in conformity to the law of
Maryland, from which the District had been
cut off, and was in compliance with the wishes
of the inhabitants of the District.
Four of the measures—the 2 I, 3J, 4th and
sth, were passed by large majorities ofSouth
ern members. The other two by majorities of
Northern Members. The last named—that
in relation to the slave trade in the District—
is after all, but a small extension of tLe law
which has been in force for half a century.
The collecting and offering slaves in the Dis
trict itself, has been punishable by the forfei
ture of the slave for that length of time.
The penalty was extended to the case of col
lecting slaves in the District, for transports
tion ana sale elsewhere—a costom which
subjected the inhabitants to all the inconve
niences, and olfered them none of the
eonvenienr.es of the collection and sal 3 in the
District.
In relution to the New Mexico and Utah
bills, it has been the subject of complaint that
Congress rejected Seddkk’s and Millson’s
amendments. These objections are captious
entirely. The unanimous vote of the South
would, have carried either of them. It wus
because the South was —-
stitu'.ionulity of legislation, anJ almost unani
mous as to its inutility, that those amendments
were not carried.
It has already been shown in these columns,
that the proposition to affirm the existence of
Mexican laws, was toted down by a larger
majority than the proposition to disaffirm
The entire number of Southern tnembe s
was 91. Mr. Milllsor’s amendment received i
49 votes. The vote was taken by tellers, an 1 [
.we have not therefore, the names of those
'voting for and against the amendment. If,
however, there was a solitary Southern man,
who voted against it, that single vote with the
actual Southern strength would have oarried
the amendment. The vote on Skbdex s
amendment was 85 to 53. Tho united South
ern vote would have carried it. Yet we are
told that “the Southern States beinga minor tv
in federal numbers,” havo boon deprived of
all their interest in the territories acquired
from Mexico.
The South meant no pleasant joke when it
planted itself on non-intervention. It meant
what it said. In surveying the entire question
it came to the conclusion that we did not need
intervention, and that it wxs dangerous to ask
it, right or wrong. This was hsr position.
The idea that the repeal of Mexican laws
was consistent with the doctrine of non inter
vention, once afforded much merriment to the
Constitutiona’ist. What it once thought to be
the moaning of non-intervention, may hive
some light thrown upon it by the following
extracts:
“If the right to legislate is conceded to CoDgrcss
this by its very terms concedes the right to pro
hibit slavery.”
Again —“To surrender to Congress, then, the
right to lctrisbte cn this question, is nothing more
nor less than to invite them to pass tho Wilmot Pro
vieo, and to promise in advance to acquiesce, or ta
call it legal.”
This was in a comment upon Mr. Toombs’
argument in favor of the “removal of existing
legal impediments.” . , .
it is evident then that, of the six bills the
6th was but asmall exlension ,and atthe wish
of the inhabitants, of a law wmch had pre
vailed for 50 years. The first, though objec
tionable, was not unconstitutional, and was
passed on a princ pie ever held sacred by tho
South. The remaining four were passed by
majority votes of Southern men.
Early Frost. —There was a s'ight frost al
Perry, Houston Go on the morning of the
99th ult.
There was a white frost at St. Mathews S.
C. the same morning.
Weather, Health, &c.—At the clote oi
another week we have again to repeat thi
" ‘ tifviog assurances that tho health of the citj
tinues good. The weather has nndergon.

annrehensions which may yet linger in th<

’ To “A Voter. •’
Your questions to the candidates for seats
in the Legislature from Richmond Coatilv,
appear in doubly a questionable shape,
In relation to giving tee election of the City
Officers in Augusta to the People, a serious dis
ficulty is apparent. While the people in April
1 last, expressed their desire to elect their offi
cers by their own suffrages, there have been
many exceptions made One class thinks it
wrong to claim the election by-the people of
the Clerks of Council—another objects so the
City Treasurer—ano her to the Jailor—anoth
er to the City Marshal— another to theJudre
of the Court of Common Pleas—the largest
class object to the election of the Night
Watch—and, in this way, exceptions are made
to ail the officers of the City. The class which
favors the election of olithe City Officers by the
People, (of which I am one, and I think I have
been as indefatigable a friend to that reform as
any other man can be) is so very small, th-.»t
I think it doubtful if 150 votes could be ofe
tsined for it.
In April last, the people wore in favor of a
change in the niodo of electing City Officers,
nd hence they voted “By the People,” but
now, when it is desirable that that expression
of opinion should be made to assume a tangi
ble form, the new d/ffijulty arises.
1 very frankly admit that I believe the whole
matter is a failure—that no change can or will
be effected—that the people have not deter
mined what change they desire. For one, (
am opposed to any change that is not radical,
thorough, complete ; and 1 am satisfied that
there are hundreds who are opposed to a
thorough change, and will not conform to my
views.
If “A Voter” had been properly posted up
in relation to this matter, he would not have
intruded his questions before the candidates for
seats in the Legislature, at this time.
How can the candidatesan.wer the question?
Wil it satisfy me to have them say that thi y
are in favor of a partial change 7 Will it
please others for them to say that they are for
a thorough change 7 There are not enough
candidates, if all were elected, to represent tho
various views of the people of Augusta on
this ques ion.
When we have definitely determined upon
what we want, it will ba time enough to inter
rogate candidates for the Legislature.

I turc of tho American mail stoamar Baltic, just
arrived at Few York, announce somewhat
confidently tint negotiations havo been open
ed bitween Spain, England, and France,
which are likely to result in a treaty.the object
of which will be to preserve Cuba to Spaiu,
with some such modifications of her Govern
ment as wero mentioned in a paragraph pub
lished in this paper last week h was also
understood that a steamer would immediately
leave Havre with despatches from tho French
Government and the American Minister at
Paris. We observe, however, that the Lon
don correspondence of the Commercial Ad
vertiser treats aspure fiction all idea of Eng
land being privy to any such engagement. A
few days probably will solve the question.
Louisville, Sept. 30—A collision occurred
yesterday on the Louisville and Frankfort rail

of tho “disposition of the Americans to check
their freedom of action and opinions,” and
urge the immediate formation of a native Ger

tainly elected delegate to Congress. Much
' trouble exists in the Courts because the Judges
difTer widely in construing the laws, and law
yers refuse o bring suits until unanimity is

Europe.
The American Searching Expedition
Arrival of the Advance.
Eer y this forenoon the Advance, Capt. De
Haven, one of tha vessels sent out by Mr,
Henry Grnnell to search for Sir John Frank
lin arrived at the navy yard Brooklyn. We
have had au interview with E.K Kaue, Esq ,
surgeon ta the expedition, to whose courtesy
we are indebted for tha following particulars.
It will bo remembered that the latest previ
ous intelligence from the American vessels, the
Rescue, and the Advance, was to the 1 3th of
September, 1060 rec iv«d through the English
papers. On that day they parted company
wi h the English squadron as mentioned in
tha despatches of Capt. Penny.
On the same uight they wei e frozen in at
Wellington channel. From that point com
menced their Noithern drift, and they were
carried up the channel (o latitude 75 25, the
greatest Northing ever attained in that meri
dian.
Fora that latitude they conna«ceed drifting
again to tho South, and in November, 1850,
en red Lancas'er Sound. During this time,
the violence of the eruptions of tha ice was
so great that they could keep no fires regular
lv lit on account of tha motion of the vessel.
The mcr’ury in tho thermometer fell below
zero. The bod.ling froze in every apartment
and even the coffee and soup became congeal
ed as soon as taken off tho fire.
It was at this timo that the scarvy broke out,
at'acking all the ctsws and officer, Captain De
Haven and Dr. Kane included. By dint of
assiduji-8 attention and constant vigilance,
howevor, Dr. Kane succeeded in keeping
down tho disease, and fortunately brought
them all through the disease without losing a
single man. Anyone who isr Dr. Kane's
eye when he modestly men ioned this grat fv
ing fact, would readily beliav*
U.IO UvJ-U uiyuvU '*
The principal eruptions in the ice, we may
here mention. occurred on tha 11th of Novem
ber and the Bth of December, 1850, and the
13th of January, 1851. «>n which latter day the
expedition en’ered Baffin’s Bay. During their
continuance in this ice the vessels were lifed
up by the s eru as high as si; feet seven or
eight inches, with a list to starboad of two feet
eight inches, the discomforts uud inconvenience
of which may well be imagined.
During this whole time a'.so the men had to
have their knapsacks constantly prepared, as
well as sleighs <fcc , not k towing but that a any
moment the vessels, strong as they were, might
be crushed by the ice. They were three weeks
without taking off their clothes. Fortunately
the ice lifted up, ra'her than crushed the vessels
which lay often at a considerable elevation on
the crest of the upheaving ice.
From this ice the vessels emerged on tl e
10th of June, 1851, afer an imprisonment of
nine months. During this lima they had
drifted one thousand and sixty miles, —a polar
drift of unprecedented extent. The only one
in any way analagous with it, we believe, was
that of Capt. Back, in Hudson’s Bay, which,
however, did not compare with it in extent.
During this whole imprisonment in the ice, the
two vessels suffered comparatively little dam
age. The Advance lost her bob stays and part
of her false keel j the Rescue had her cutwater
and bowsprit literally chiselled off.
Having got both his vesssls liberated, Capt.
De Haven determined again to try to prosecute
bis search, and turned the Advance’s head to
the Northward. He succeeded in reaching the
upper Melville Bay region, but was there
again hemmed in by ice.
From this he was not liberated until the 19 h
of August, at which t me rhe season was so far
advanced that it was impossible for him to
proceed and accomplish his purpose, even
supposing every’hing should be favorable and
no ice intervene.
118 therefore reluctantly determined to re
turn home. The Advance called at the Green
land ports, where she obtained fall supp'ies
of fresh meats, vegetables, &a., and Dr. Kane
soon had the happiness of seeing the scurvy
entirely disappear.
Capt De Heven's was the most severe
attack, and afforded a singular illustration of
one of the peculiar features of the disease.
A email wound on his finger made when a
school boy by a blow from a cane, and many
years ago completely healed and forgotten,
was re-opened by the disease. A similar result
attended a wound which Dr. Kane received in
the Mexican war, aud indeed every man ex
hibited a similar illustration of this phase of
the disease.
The expedition has returned without the
loss of a man, which speaks volumes alike for
1 the oilicers and men ; and is no mean praise
1 for the surgeon of the expedition.
The American vessels last saw the English
' shio Prince Albert at 11 o’clock A. M. on the
l 12th of August s’ariding South East, having
1 given up, as Capt. Dellaven concluded all
hope of getting round the n&y ice, and making
i (he Southern passage. Capt. Dell, thinks it
• probable that she would reach Prince Regent’s
inlet.
• Not having had time to visit the vessel her
self, wo cannot speak of her appearance after
, her voyage. Dr Kane an exceedingly intelli
gent and affable gontleman, looks well al
.l though somewhat weather beaten,
a He thinks, after seeing the region and the
t resources on shore, that Sir John Franklin and
a hie crews are probably yet alive. The Ad*
. vance has brought home the relics of Sir John’s
visit to ihe place where three of his men were
a buried.
a Also two or three Esquimaux dogs, one of
.. them not many weeks old, apparently very
fine and intelligent animals.
Q Dr. Kane speaks in the highest terms of
I Capt. Deiiaven, and we are sure that Mr
t f Grinneil mast feel a proud satisfaction ir,
i having sot on foot the expedition,
i We learn from Mr. Grinnell that Lady Frank
i lin entertains the same opinion as Dr. Kane
- with respect to her noble husband.
