TPREsIDEsT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening OF the
present session Of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion oi all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
: are called the Adjustment or Compromise inca
sures Of last session. That opinion Is, that thos'
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexon, they formed
n system of compromise the most concihatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time ard experience should de
mohstrate the necessity of further Legislation &c
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion
: so far as l know, remains entirely unchanged
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively
The peace of the country requires this the Sc
CURLY of the Constitution requires this; aud every
consideration of the public good demands this
IF the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, il does not expect to

position of Judge Ducr, that monument should
be erected in honor of Mr.. Cooper in Washington,
although the distinguished writer's local notions at
first led him TO imagine that the city OF New York
would be the most appropriate site Tor the monu-
ment or statue as this city was the locality wherein
the ecenes of some of his best works were laid. We
learn that the plan approved by Mr.. Irving will
probably be approved by the committee, and that
there is little doubt that It will soon be carried into
execution, the only question now remaining to be
settled being whether the statue shall be of marble
or OF bronze. white marble,' Mr.. Irving OBJ

readers, that the gentleman whose name heads
this article is a candidate for reelection to the
seat which he now occupies in the Congress of
the United States. The authority for this an
nouncemeDt has not been given by Mr.. Bocock
hastily, or from any purpose To forestall the OPT
Mon and wishes of his constituents, but has
been given in obedience to the numerous private
calls which have been made upon him by his
friends of all parts Of the district and which he
his not felt at liberty to decline or longer treat
of silence.
In Welding his assent to become candidate
for reelection, we have no shadow of doubt that
he has met the wishes and conformed to the ex-
pcctations of his entire party, and of no incon-
siderable fractional part of those who have here
tofore beer his political opponents. SomeWhigs,
