IMPORTANT LETTyR FROM THE PprsiDxST.-ihc
timely and excellent letter OF the President which
we lay before readers, at the foot of these re-
mark, is worthy Of all praise at the hands OF con-
sentative, constitution loving men Mr. FIT
Hosr is every day giving proofs Of the exalted
character OF his craftsmanship, the frmness Of his
resolution, and the patriotism Of his views. Ito
tode OF imposing interest. Holding in the hollow
of his hand tho destiny Of repubc--for IL IL
impossible to doubt that IL he were TO swerve from
his high duty the Union would be rivcn asundor-
he earlesy all the woghty rcsponsi bilite,
Of his position, and determines 10 discharge them
faithfully, without evasion. We'll he knew, when
the death Of General TAyLos called him To the
Presidential office, that the approval he about
TO give TO measures, designed to heal an excited
sectional controversy, would cost his Administrn-
ton many n political disaster in the Northern
States. This, however, did not deter him from the
full pcrfo of the trust conhJcd 10 him by the
nation. lie openly gave his influence to the salts
factory adjustment Of tho questions in dispute
The reader will perceive that Mr.. FrLtNour
cones directly 10 the point Of the whole matter and
avovs his fired intention 10 the whole power OF
his office, II il be necessary, TO execute the law.
He clearly explains the part which the Constitution
and laws have assigned TO him and we think nc
man ofcandor read tho exposition and not BIZ
satisfied that he has acted with entire propristy. II
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-11-23

Some of the Southern papers, as we learn by tee-
graph, accuse the official language of lukewarm-
ness and ambiguity. There ia nothing astonishing
in this; it is quite natural. We may also expect
to some of the Northern journals exclaimng
against the positive manner in which the President
pledges himself to cause the law to be respected by
all the means at his disposition. But repeat
what have frequently had occasion to say befor,
during this long controversy, that the discomfort
with which certain acts greeted at the two
tremities Of the Union is the most eloquent proc
that these acts combine oil the elements of per
feet impartiality and that they not intended Il
crafty any particular prejudice.
