FROM THE BUFFALO COMMERCIAL ADyERTIsER.
The Presidents Texas Message appears have had most
happy effect in calming the excitement Of the public mind
Il settled the question to the of the Administration
upon this subject and gave to the country the that
the rights Of the Union would be maintained and that lawe
usurpaon invasion Of those rights from any quarter,
would be rebuksd and resisted by the military power Of the
county, should the emergency make necessary resort to
this extremity. Every whereexceptng, of course, the ul
taists of the Southths has been well received It
what was expected from Wing President. Its prn
cpes meet with hearty response and being in unison with
the almost public sentiment Of the Union from Maine to
Georgia." will be invested with strong and controlling
moral power Its firm, decided, and at the time con-
catory tone, meets the feeling which exists among all
parties. Should the recommendation Of the message be
ried out of which there is fair prospect important
step will have been taken towards the final adjustment Of the
vexed questions before Congress.
In relation to the passage Of Mr.. PEARcEs BILL do not
know that do better than to copy the article from the
National hateAfgencer, rejoicing in it,
HARTFORD (coNs.) coURANT OF AUGUST Is.
We hope Mr. PEARcE's bill will pass because is
"Whg" measure, and not because approve Of all its de-
tails, but the best means under the circumstances" Of
settling difficult question. We do to the rights
of Texas in the premises at all Mr. Pearce very careful
to avoid that expression, and claims in its stead We
likewise think that the bill gives too much those
claims Yet situated the affairs Of the nation are
no better way of calming the agitation in Texas
The claims Of Texas 10 be settled in of three ways
either by the competent judicial tribunal by agreement be-
tween the parties by force As for suppong that Texas
will renquish her claims without equivalent has been
demanded by Of the Northern papers, it is absurd
suppose it. Her pride, her passions her interests and her
preudices all oppose it. Neither it be asked Of New
Mexico and the Free Soil supporters Of the integrity and in
dependence of that territory, of its existence as portion of
free so and its rank free State give up the whole
Of it to the jurisdiction Of slavery and Texas.
If decision Of the boundary line must be left to the Su
preme Court Of the United States the time consumed in
king such decision will in the present crisis of affairs,
der it impossible.
There defects in the bill, it true, but it will heal
the wounds of the body polite excuse those defects
from the benefit it will perform We think it pays Texas
too much for the territory does take and that does in
cude enough within the limits of New Mexico. We should
have preferred that the line terminating $50 30
should have been continued to 80 but that only private
opinion.
In answer to the first Of these objections, may be said
that we are bound to the creditors Of Texas in the Of
four and half Millions and if the remainder seem excess
sve for the territory obtained the expenses Of civil
enforce the rights of New Mexico, and the qualification re-
into consideration. With respect to the second objection it
is said that the boundary established by the bill is the best
geographical boundary that could have been planned.
FROM THE ALBANY ARGUS, (DEM.)
Andy another instaent of the compromise has passed
the Senatehe bill organizing Territorial government for
New Mexico, without the provso and not to 60 into effect

elements of the compromsand all that remains yet Enacted

measures already sent there aud devote itself the ordinary
routine OF legislation, remains to be
