"By that adjustment we have been rescued from

IPREsIDEST FILLMonE's MESSAGE.
"Ihe 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
stration of the Government, in regard to what
: arc called the Adjustment Compromise mca-
sures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
n final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from impcricctons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
9 system of compromise the most concilintory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be adj
: hcred to, until time and experience should de-
monstratc the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion; SO
{ far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this the security Of
the Constitution requires this; and every conside-
9 ration of the public good demands this. II tho
{ Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, it does not expect to stand Mt all

EVENING SESSION.

The House met at o'clock, and, in Committee
Of the Whole ON the state Of the Union, resumed
the consideration Of the bill making appropriations
for the naval service.
The amendment Of MIR. BAyLy, to repeal so
much Of the act of last year authorizes the con-
struction of dry dock, railway, and basin in San
Francisco, gave rise 10 animated discussion, in
which Messrs. STANTON of Tennessee, yINTON,
CARTIER, STEPHENS Of Georgia, PHELPS,
HOLMES, CLINGMAN, SWEETSER, and others,
participated. The principal point in the debate
was, whether or not contract had actufy been
entered into, by the Secretary Of the Navy, with
Messrs. Dakin, Gilbert, Moody, and Secor and,
a consequence. whether thesc gentlemen would
be damaged by tho adoption OF the proposition.
The amendment of Mr.. BAyLy was amended,
on motion Of Mr.. STANTON, OF Tennessee, by
appropriating $4,000 for the construction Of a

maintained that that party could not sanction such
appropriations consistently with their avowed prin
ciples. He alluded to the fusion and confusion of
parties on this question and found the secret of it
in the fact that Presidential campaign was APP
proaching.
Mr.. CASS said that on this occasion there
not as much "noise and confusion" as ON former
memorable one, which had become part of the
history Of the times; and he hoped TO be better
derstood now than he by some then. Mr.. G.
said that he had been challenged by an Admins
tation paper in this city to express his opinions
this bill. as if he had ever attempted to conceal
those opinions. He then stated his sentiments and
defined his position the subject of internal inn
provements generally, and Of improvements Of
rivers and harbors particularly He would vote
for this bill, but thought the appropriations ought
to be confined to the items and amounts asked for
by tho Administration. He pronounced the state
ment that at Cleveland he had declined expressing
his opinions on this subject because OF the noise
and confusion, to be utterly destitute OF truth CA

Mr. EWING addressed the Senate in favor of the
bill as it now stood, and opposed all amendments.

GENERAL JAMBs-The Post thinks the Journal
should "gct up another version Of General James q
politics." We prefer TO take the version of John
Holden, in his communication, published in the
Journal OF February i.
In that letter Mr.. Holden says "Gcncral James.
OUR new SENATOR, is A Wmo." MIR. Holden fur
thcr states that General James voted for Harrison
and for Clay, that he voted for Anthony for Gov
ernor, and that he would have voted for Taylor had
he been at home at the time Of the election that
che will give in the United States Senate cheer
full and strong support TO all the leading
of the Wing party" and much more TO the same
effect
We are now authorized to say, that this commu-
ncation from Mr.. Holden with the exception Of the
concluding few lines personally complimentary to
him, READ General James, APPROVED ny
H,i, AND PUBLISHED WITH Ills KSowLEDGB. We are
also informed, but of this we do not speak with
tainty, that copies Of the communication were
printed in handbills and circulated from General
James's counting room So, upon the whole, if il
is quite agreeable to the Post, will stick TO
the present version. The Democrats arc beginning
TO perceive that they caught Tartar in the cleo
ton of their Senator. They can cry out with the
man who sells marking ink on the bridge. "sold
again." but they cannot like him, say "and got
the tin" Ifthc Dorritcs have fallen into such bad
way that they cannot make trade to sell their
votes without being found out, it is quite time that

Charles Allen and Daniel Webster.

The obviously prearrapGcd and concerted attack
upon the Secretary Of State by the Free soil rep.
resentativc Of the Worcester (Mass) Congressional
district, the prompt and manly mode OF meeting it,
by which MIR. Ashnun, colleague of the assaiant,
distinguished himself, and the evident disgust and
indignation with which il was received by the body
nsulted by its utterance, is exciting great deal Of
comment. special Geographic despatch to the
Tribune, from its regular correspondent, corrobo-
ratcs most fully what our advices have represented
the state of feeling the subject at Washington to
be: "Nobody believes the charges true, and many Of
the friends of Mr. Webster arc in favor Of meeting
the issue, since il has been SO confidently invited
by the accusers."
One would imag CINE that the signal defeat which
has attended the efforts of than of the for
mer assailants Of Mr.. Webster would prevent re-
newal of such attempts, upon any doubtful or ques-
tionable grounds When, few years ago, Charles
J. Ingcrsoll, of Philadelphia, had the teneriy to
stand up in the House OF Representatives and gross
ly to malign the Secretary of State, he met by
Robert C. Winthrop with the same fearless and
confident contradiction OF his avcrments which
now, on fresh attack, from the lips Of Mr.. Charles
Allen, n Free soil member from Massachusetts,,
was uttered by tho eloquent Ashmun. AS it was
in the former case, 80 it will be in this The CO.
lossal reputation Zone Of his countrys proudcst
monuments and muniments) which Daniel Web
ster has raised for himself by life Of unselish de-
votion to the interests of the Republic, the exposi-
ton and defence of its Constitution and its Laws,
and the maintenance of that Union which is the
palladium of our liberties, is not destined to fall be-
fore the miserable attack of disappointed and de-
feated Office seeker.
'An eagle, soaring in his pride of place,
Was by mousing owl hawkcd at-noi killed."
And Mr.. Charles Allen will find, ere long, to his
confusion, we think, that the only party injured in
this assault is the assailant.
We have for time past watched the pro-
grcss of this cowardly fabrication, as sin serpent
error" it has been crawling on its Shiny course
over congenial soil, not only in New England, bat
in our own State. And we were fully prepared for
the exhibitions which it was Mr.. Charles Aliens
rrcmediabe misfortune to be induced to make of
himself the floor of the House of Representatives
at Tuesday midnight and on Wednesday morn
ing. The stand taken by Mr.. Webster for the
Union against the array Of its foes, whether in the
shape of bold and open secessioniss, ianatical dis
unonists, or unprinciplcd and intriguing coali-
tionsis, has exposed him to those attacks, and lie
is doubtless prepared to encounter them.

Eaucation-Look 20 A..

The schools Of our city are soon to. reopen;
teachers are to resume their difficult, arduous,
and responsible labors, and boys and girls are
to submit themselves to the restraints of the
school-room, and to apply themselves TO the
great and important work Of intellectual and
moral Improvement. Who can reflect upon
these things without deep and earnest con
cern?--without regret for hours lost or abused,
and sincere desire that the future may be
more profitable than the past?
Let us see what schools are open to our
children.
First in Importance are the public schools.
They are efficient, well governed, and eminently
useful; and from them will emerge many Of
the best and most talented Of those who are to
occupy the high places in our community We
regret that no High School is yet connected
with them; but this will be supplied at an
early day.
Under the appropriate head in our columns
will be found the advertisements of many most
excellent private schools, to which we would
direct the attention of all who feel an interest
in this important subject.

TENNESSEE ELEcTIoNs-We shall have to
correct the account of the Tennessee elections
which we published yesterday, if the editor of
our Democratic contemporary, the Union, who
has just returned from Nashville, be correct in
his deductions on the subject He states that
William H. Polk, Democrat, beats James H
Thomas, Democrat, in the Maury District; and
that Mr.. Churchill, Democrat, beats Mr.. Ander-
son, Wing, in the Knoxville district.
In this case, the Representative delegation in
the next Congress will stand as in the last
seoen Democrats and four Wings.
There is coincidence relative to the Guber-
material elections in Tennessee, for the last ten
or twelve years, well worthy of record:
In 1887, Cannon, Wing, beat Armstrong,
Democrat.
In ls47, N. s. Brown, Wing, beat A. v
Brown, Democrat.
In 1889, Polk, Democrat, beat Cannon, Wing
In 1849, Trousdale, Democrat, beat N. S.
Brown, Wing.
In 1841, Jones, Wing, beat Polk, Democrat.
In 1861, Campbell, Wing, beats Trousdale,
Democrat.
In 1843, Jones, Wing, beat Polk, Democrat
So, to complete the coincidence, q Wing must
beat a Democrat for Governor in 1858.

: .oner for us to remark, in justice to all con-
asrnsd that it is now ascertained that the ar
tiole published in this paper on the 9th instant
signed "Quaok Doctor" was not the production
Of clerk in the Third Auditor's office. 1t is in
deed within the knowledge of all, that the clerks
IN that bureau have no need to resort to anony-
nous publications on any subject, as their in
tercourse with the Auditor is always conducted
in a frank and manly manner, and evils, if any
exist, can be corrected without resort to any
insidious method.
The attempt, therefore, to raise delicate
issue between the Secretary and the Auditor
has failed and we may add that, but for Mr..
Gallaher's magnanimity, the real name of the
writer would be exposed, and he subjected to
the contempt his unprincipled deception 50
