THE BANK CoMPRoMIsE.-The whig papers impose upon the public in regard to the true nature of the celebrated compromise, by which Mir. Clay gained two votes for his infamous Bank Bill.

 Readers would come to the conclusion from their illustrations, that this compromise avoids the objec- of the sensitive state right politician, and the constitution harmless even to the mind of the most strict and scrupuous constructionst. ''Tbe thing" called compromise, is contemptible trick to reconcile variant principles, which in their nature are lrreconciable. Concession there may be, but compromise is impossible between those whs hold, Mir. Clay does, that Congress has an unquestion- able power to erect corporations in the states, and those who hold as Mir. Tyler does, that such exer- else of power by Congress papable violation of the letter and spirit of the constitutions and awess usurpation ofpower expressly withheld by those who framed that instrument. The very idea of "com- promise" then, between such antagonist views, is naked humbug and yet it is scarcely exceeded in it's nudity by the shape which these paltering politicians have given it. What is the proposition in plain termsl Mir. Clay says, to Mir. Tyler and those who

  -I am plainly for the branching power without the consent of the states. believe we possess the con- stitutional right, and is imperative duty, ercise it-you think directly the reverse-I respect your yiews-et us compromise

 "Well Mir. Clay," reply Mir. Tyler and his friends, "offer us your compromse-show us how we may unite with you in erecting these branches the states without violating the constitution and oahs to support it, and will cheerfully join you"

 Then comes Mir. Clay's compromise to the consciences of his political associates-and what is it! "I propose, that first ask the for their assent to establish these branches within their li mits. If their legislatures, at their first meeting thereafter say ''yes"-wel-if they are silent, their assent is to be presumed-and if they say "no,' why then the branches shall be established "any how," if Congress shall deem it necessary and pro- per.

 Now we ask if this does not sut-humbug all form CT whg humbugs? The Charleston Mercury puts the somewhat so:-The Sultan sends to an obnox- ious pasha letter, and the bowstrng, politely asking him to bow his neck and be stranged or, be stran- gled any how. Again, Mr. Tyler says, "You shall not enter upon my clients land and pull down his house." Mr. Clay says, then let us compromise. Sign with me these articles disagreement, in which on my part

 covenant that your client may have one month to de- eide whether he shall himself pull down his house and let in his land; and you on the other part covenant that at the expiration of that time 1 shall have the right to enter and pull down as see proper whether he refures or not"

 And how this contemptible device, to enable to abandon principle, received by those to whom it insultingly offered! "Capital'' says Mir. Se- nator Preston-rubbing his hands with great glee. "Happy thought-admirable device! It IS the very tbing-it soothes my conscience. and quiets all my constitutional scrupes It is perfectly satisfactory, will vote for the bill." Treachery, hypocrisy and equivocation! We'll, Mir. Preston voted for the bill, and it passed the Senate-the two whig Senators from Virginia, rejecting the " compromise' with scorn.

 The question now is, how will JOHN TYLER view tl Will he sneak round crawl under the consti- tuition, through this mouse hole nibbed for his plant conscience by the ingenious and cunning Senator from Kentuckya Will heprove himself as "destitute oi sehse ds he IS or pTinclple3 Dy surrendering so transparent pretext7 If he does, he will sink beneath contempt, and his name will only be drawn rem his self-made grave of obscurity be used as bye word of scorn and contempt. He will by that one act stamp the word LIE upon hls whole public life. He cannot do lt-it is impossible.

 But should we be disappointed What is the duty ofthe democratic party, the friends of the constitu- tion and of iberty-for it Is a question of liberty. We regard the charter now pending expressly designed to "regulate" politcs-not the currency to buy men like cattle in the market-not bills of ex- change-a political engine to make Clay President, to perpeuate whig domnion and crush with its iron heel the democracy, the bone and snew the aborers of the land. What we ask is the duty of the demo- cracy, should the charter be passed and signed by the President? In one word REPEAL" Blot it out of the statute book-throttle the moneygant created to throttle you-down with it, crush as you would the most insidious and deadly enemy of your rights and liberties-Sic ssmper tyrannis

 "REPEAL" will be the subject of our considera- ton on another occasion. That flag is already run up-it is sustained principles of justice, law and neCessty--it will sure ly triumDh.
