scene by playing tho national air', OF " Hall 90,

was paid him. Others who had taken PROMINENT
mart in restoring peace to the country, were
9F;sited. among whom, was Hon. DAHL. w EBsTER,
Secretary of State, the Texas Senator's MI G
DICKINSON of your State, Judge DOUGLAS OF LII; :
Chs California Senators aud o number oil otners OF
both Houaes OF Congress. The joy OF every one
seemed unbounded, and hl@isy and good IeeilnB
pervaded every group that were FcasSered rom

ultraists, or at least many of them, showed signs
of repentance for what they had done, and 10 some
oxtebt psrtook of this enthusiasm OF delight that
every where surrounded them.
Our able and patriotic President received large
ournber Of calls from Members OF Congress ana
others, all of whom met with most hearty recep'
tiop. and received bs unbounded congratulations
that the former had finally succeeded IN delivering
abeir country from the hands OF corrupt and willy
adversary. Knowing full well tue danger that
threatened us on the Texan frontier, had Mr.
PIERcE's bill not passed the House, 1t is not to De
wondered at that MIR FILLMORE felt as gratlted as
his appearance clearly indicated. The Fugitive
Slave bill will be taken up tomorrow and disposed
OF In the same spirit Of good faith that he other
Compromise measures have met with. The last OF
Mr. GAYS propositions, the bill for restricting the
EIeve Trade in the District OF Columbia will also be
passed before Congress adjourns; thus ooncedDg
she wisdom and foresight OF this great statesman,
sgho when he first attempted TO give peace to the
country, and harmony to the deliberations Of this
eventful Congress, was met with cold indifference
both by she North and the South. Tie measure of
bis fame ia now filed to overlooking, and he enjoys
90 greater extent and in more general and en-
Jagged sphere than at any other period Of bis long
ME of usefulness. A NEW YORKER.
