The Message.

A Presidents Message which, III these
days of verbosity, fills but five fair news
paper columns, is capital one-the length
of itself settles that. Mr.. Fillmore's first
Message is not more than half so long as
the average of Folks, and, by any fair
computation, must be at least twice as
good And we believe this off-hand esti-
mate will be fully justified by more care
full scrutiny. Comparatively short as this
Message is, it is as long as any need be
when the true object of placing authentic
information before the People is not render
ed subordinate to that of bullying, wheed
ling or pettifogging them into acquiescence
in the Presidents views and appreciation of
his course. Mr.. Fillmore says enough on
every topic to let the Country see Just
where he stands and what changes in the
National policy he considers expedient and
desirable, but he does not deem it his duty
to make a stump speech in favor of each
principle or measure advocated by him.
While we do not agree with it on all points,
and decidedly dissent from its bearings on
one, we yet heartily approve of the general
scope and purport of this Message.
The leading recommendations of the
President are essentially as follows:
/. Mutual reproach and elimination
leading to useless irritation, among the
several members of the Union, should be
avoided and deprecated.
9. All laws while they exist must be en-
forced and obeyed, whether popular or OBJ
noxious. The President mast see the laws
enforced, without exception or discrimina-
ton.
This is all right; but when the Presi-
dent eulogizes " the law" as "the only Sc
cure protection of the weak, and the only
efficient restraint on the strong" we are
sure he does not allude to the Fugitive
Slave Law, nor to Slave Laws generally.
Those laws were never intended for the
protection of the weak, nor for restraint
on the strong but the contrary.
3. Our Foreign Relations generally are
alnicable and satisfactory. With Portu-
gal, Brazil, Chill, Peru, and the Hawaiian
Kingdom, they are improved or improv-
ing Mexico is being importuned to grant
a more unrestricted Right of Way for q
Railroad across the Isthmus of Tehuante-
pee and the President hopes we shall fix
things with Great Britain respecting the
Ocean Ship Canal through Nicaragua.
His words on this subject are evidently
used with great caution, and plainly imply
the existence of difficulty. His reserve
and mildness, however, imply strong
hope that all will at last be well.
4. The Receipts into the Treasury during
the fiscal year which closed with June last
were nearly FortySeven and Half Mil
lions; the Disbursements therefrom were
Forty-two Millions; Half Million of
Public Debt has been paid off within the
last year, and the surplus in the Treasury
increased about Five Millions. The Presi-
dent is opposed to further Loans, and
wants to pay off and extinguish Eight Mil
lions of Public Debt within the next two
years.

Friehtful Railroad CoIIision-One or More
Persons Killed,

The Emigrant train, which left this city at 10
o'clock this morning for Buffalo, came in collision
with the down Mail train about one mile west OF
Byron, on the long curve. The Emigrant train
was going very slow, but the Mail train was IN
full motion.
We have not been able to gather many Of the
details of the accident, as the Railroad men have
taken particular pains to conceal the facts IN the
case, We understand that the tour persons
who were killed were emf grants, and one OF them
woman. Mr. Houghtailing, the conductor OF the
Mail train, had his leg badly injured
There were many others more or less injured
but we have not been able to get further partlcu-
lars.
The locomotives. Lewis Brooks and Mumtord,
powerful machines, were badly smashed to pieces
"a perfect wreck-one being entirely on the top
of the other One baggage car was driven upon
an emigrant car, and that as we understand, was
the cause of the loss OF life. We hope to get tur-
Their particulars before we go to press
LATER-The above are all the facts we mad az
9P. NJ. Yesterday. We have since conversed with
several passengers, and have gathered some ad-
ditional information
The up train was going very slow at the time
of the collision with reversed engine, but the
down, or Express train, being behind time, was
moving at the rate of 80 miles per hour. The en-
gineer reversed his engine as he came in sight OF
the Emigrant train, but too late to prevent the
accident The sudden change OF the engine serv-
ed TO put the passengers on their guard in an In
slant, and they were not therefore injured by the
shock. No one on the Express train was injured,
except Mr.. John Houghtaling, the Conductor, who
had an ankle broken
On the emigrant train there were some eighty
factory operatives, from Rhode Island, who were
on their way to Indiana to operate new factory
just erected by COL James, of Providence
Among them was an English family who suffered
severely. The father was badly injured by large
splinter passing through the thigh and abdomen /;
a daughter was instantly killed, and son consid-
erably injured.
There are some seven persons in all who were
too much injured to proceed with their journey
We forbear comment upon the causes of this sad
affair. not having the requisite knowledge on
which TO predicate an opinion as to who is in
fault. We think the company owe it to the pub
lie to make an explaaatiou. Roch ADV. Nov. 80
