as legal, has seldom been enunciated on any SINH
lar occasion in this any other country. The
President may be assured, that while he continues
to occupy the position he has assumed in this Mes
sage, the people will be with him; and that what
ever difficulties he may encounter in the course of
his administration, they will stand by him and sup
port kim
fne most important subjects alluded TO are the
series OF measures embraced in the late compro-
misc, and the modification of the present tariff.
Upon both these points the Message will fully
satisfy the people OF Pennsylvania; for the nhabi-
tants of the Old keystone are no less a law
abiding and order and Constitution loving people,
than they devoted to all the great interests of
the country, either agricultural, manufacturing,
or commercial The adoption OF specific duties,
as recommended by the President in place of the
present dd uaioran system, with false valuations
and fraudulent invoices, is all that is needed to
put the labor and industry of the country upon
career of prosperity to which they have never yet
attained.
With all the staples Of production, except, per-
haps that OF cotton, in greater abundance than we
ever possessed them at any former period, and all
the appliances OF extensive trade and com
nerce, in greater development than they have
ever reached before, the great arm Of the nation is
paralyzed and all its industrial interests dropping
and languishing under the false and deceitful sys-
tenn of 1916. The tendency of affairs in all the
branches of domestic industry has been rapidly
downward for the last four years and we rejoice
at the hope of deliverance held out to us in the
Message. In conclusion, we need only say that the
President has been thoroughly sound in his re-
marks upon this subject, and eminently just, not
only to Pennsylvania, but to the whole country ;
and that the whole country will give hearty re-
sponse to his wise and prudent recommendations

THE MEssAGE.-The Presidents Message was
received yesterday afternoon in this city, and We
present 1t to our readers as a document proceeding
from the Chief Civil Officer Of our Government, de-
serving the careful pcrusal and patient considera.
ton Of every citizen. II is plain, clear sensible
unambitious document IL gives a flattering pic.
turc Of the public prosperity, and a succnct nara
tive OF the posture and the condition Of the foreign
and domestic relations Of the country, Though
we dissent from some Of the positions assumed
especially those on the subject Of the tariff and in
ternal iInprovcments-with tho chief portion Of the
recommendations VIC entirely concur. We arc
particularly eratiicd that the President takes firm
and decided ground against nti-slavery agitation

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
1t is a State paper, ,
as it seems to us, 80 abounding in the evidences
of good and patriotism, that criticism
upon it will better beft the captious than the APP
proving. One striking proof which it affords of
the Presidents sound judgment is its studious
compactness and perspicuity. Considering the
unusual number of subjects to which the attention
of Congress is directed the brevity Of the message
is really remarkable, and worthy of all praise.
The portions OF the message which will most at.
tract attention, and elicit commendation or ami
madversion, according to the temper of the COM
mentator, are those which disclose the Presidents
intention in regard TO the questions which now SO
unhappily distract our country and disturb its
councils His general remarks, the relative
powers Of the General Government and the States
inculcate those great constitutional principles
which have always been held dear by the most
inent statesmen of the South.
With respect TO the particular aspects Of sectional
differences Mr.. FrLLMoREs position is equally sat
isfactory. His policy, briefly remarked in
our crowded sheet OF yesterday is to execute faith
fully the laws, and to stand by the compromise
measures as they are, as the only mode of preserv-
ing the Union. His language these points is too
explicit to be capable of misconstruction.
The republic., 1850-12-05

We have no time to point out other parts Of the
Message which deserve comment or condemna-
tion. AS whole We like it, IL is short enough to be
read by ALL and it is long enough TO comprehend all
the subjects Of which Il treats. We hope, above all
things, that the recommendation of adherence TO
the Compromise measures in all its parts will be
rigidly carried out. In bis argument in favor Of
this cause, Mr.. Fillmore il singularly fclcitous
and iorcibe. Let him maintain the same views TO
the end. Let him arouse Congress to a sense Of
their duty to the whole country, and if he do moth
ing olse, he will have deserved the thanks Of both
sections OF our beloved Union.

Ihs PaEsIDEST's MEssAGE.-We are much
pleased with the style and sentiment of the Mes
sage IL embodies and reaiiirms the republican
principles upon which the Whig party was
founded, and gives assurance of an honest, wise
and fearless administration of the Government.
The avowal of the general principles which may
be expected to direct the action Of tho Executive
meet our cordial approval.
The exposition of the conferred and reserved
powers afforded by the Message is worthy Of the
pen of Mason John Taylor, of Caroline. 1t is
an admirable definition of the relation between the
Federal and State Governments, well OF the
limitation and powers of the coordinate depart
ments AS direct deduction from the doctrines
laid down in the Message, we were gratified with
the following emphatic declaration.
tlrhe Whis here quotes the part Of the Message
in which the President says he will shrink from no
responsibility, but will endeavor to meet events
they may arise, with frmness, prudence, and dis-
cretion.l
This distinct and determined assurance is cacu-
lated to relieve every apprehension that the Execu
tive might prove recrean to the hight trust reposed
in himby the country and convinces that we may
rely confidently upon the fearless and impartial cx-
ecution of all the laws. Indeed, find nthis adm
rabe State paper the avowa ofthose principles which
have been with the Wing party paramount to all
others-that each department shall be confined to
Inappropriate spherethat measures Of legislation,
being intended to promote the happiness and carry
out the wishes of the people, should originate with
the representatives of the peoplethat the sole duty
of the Executive is to that the laws shall be
mited to competent officers, and cat all times and
in all places be faithfully executed. We shall
hereafter refer to other topics treated of in this able
and interesting Message.

general tone and spirit will be acceptable to the
great majority of the American people. Especial
y on that all-iinpcrtant subject, the Compromise
and the questions involved in it, the Message is all
that could be desired. The President regards the
Compromise as "a settlement, in principle and
substance final settlement of the dangerous and
exciting subjects" which the controversy involved
And he recommends the adherence of Congress TO
that adjustment, and exhorts his countrymen to
rally upon and maintain 1t, "the BEST if not the
only means, of restoring peace and quiet TO the
country, and maintaining inviolate the integrity
of the Union" Bravo! Very good. So we saw
