THE REPUBLIC.
WASHINGTON:
SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 20. 1851

"Tneseriesof measures to which have alluded
are regarded by Inc as settlement, in principle
and suhstaDSe-a final danger
ous anc exciting subjects which they embraced"
''By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless citation thatsurrounded
us, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon And the occasion, trust, will JUS
'tify me IN EXPORTING MY coUNTRYMEN TO RALLY
UPON AND MAINrAIs THAT GROUND as the best, II
not the only means, of restoring peace and quiet
'to the country, and maintaining invioate thein-
ftegrity ofthe Union"
[PREsIDESr FILlMoRE'e MESSAGE.
s'The President's message, at the opening of the
spresent session OF Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion ofall
'those associated with him in the Executive admin
'istrGtion OF - e Government, in regard to what
sare called tb Adjustment or Compromise mea-
'sures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
hnalsettlement of the dangerous and excitin 6
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
neutrality-suspicious. and connection, they formed
. a system of compromise the most conciliatory
'and beet 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-
'monstrats the necessity of further legislation to
'guard Reconsideration or abuse. Thatopinion, so
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
'will be- acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires THE; the security OF
the Constitution req uir es this and everyconsde
ration Of the public good demands this. If the
administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does oteKpect to nd all. y
