WASHINGTON:
MONDAY MORNING, JULY I. 1851.


'sThe series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me "a a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settement-ofthe danger
GUS and exciting subjects which they embraced" !"
'By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation thatsurrounded
us and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, willjus-
tify me IN EXPORTING by coUSrRyMES TO RALLY
UPON AND MAINTAIN THAT GROUND as the best, If
not the only means, of restoring peace and quiet
TO the country, and maintaining inviolate thein-
tegrity ofthe Union"
[PREsIDESr FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
''The Presidents message, at the opening of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istraton OF the-G overnment in regard to what
are called the Adjustment Compromise mea-
sures of last session That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting g
subjects which they embrace; that though they
not free from imperlections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
system of compromise the most concihatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity Of further legislation TO
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopiniop 80
q fa- know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decsively. The
peace ofthe country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and everyconside-
ration Of the public good demands this If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not expect stand at all !"

MENT.
The several Divisions of the Sons of Ten
perance Of the District of Columbia-Timo-
thy, Crystal Fount, Potomac, Howard, Equal,
Northern Liberties, and Modnt Vernon--with
their juvenile kindred associations, assembled
at f. street Temperance Hall, at halfpast 7
O'Clock in the morning. They wore the badges
peculiar to their institution, and displayed beau
uful banners In the breeze and sunlight. Ac-
companed by marshals on foot and on horse
back, and preceded by music, they moved to
Pennsylvania avenue, between Ninth and Tenth
streets, where they received the Grand Divi-
sion of the State of Pennsylvania; and the pro-
cesslon, short time afterwards, proceeded to
Monument Place, following the beautiful stone
prepared by the Sons of Temperance of Penn
sylvania, TO be deposited in the column to
WASHINGTON. The block of marble rested on
the bed of a car tastefully festooned with white,
red, and blue muslin, and drawn by four horses.
When the line approached Monument Place,
the committee of the Pennsylvania Grand Di-
vision, by invitation, assembled the platform.
which was Immediately afterwards occupied
by the President of the United States and
suite, (including Major General Scott, General
Henderson, General Walter Jones, G. w. p.
