The message Of President Fillmore will
receive profound attention from the Amer
lean people. 1t is a document from the
perusal of which. all will rise with an adj
miration for the sentiments it contains
and a heightened confidence in the pa
triotisn and ability of those, in whose
hands the administration Of our public af-
fairs rests.
The rather unusual length Of this adj
mlrable state paper is to be attributed
mainly to events, connected with the for
eign relations of the Government
Upon these subjects, and especially the
views of the President upon the unfortu-
nate expedition to the island ofCuba, and
the general policy of peace and non-in-
tervention that he inculcates, we think
there will be very few, who will not warm
ly approve the spirit and doctrines Of the
Message.
The reference to the indignities offered
the Spanish Consul at New Orleans will,
no doubt, bring that matter to the consid-
Grafton of Congress, early in its session.
There is nothing IN which a nation should
be more watchful of its honor, than in the
delicate questions, that spring up in its
diplomacy and under its treaties. A
wrong donethe representative ola foreign
Government is scarcely so much Of an in
suit to that Governments as ashame to our.
selves.
The other topics of the Message, rela-
ting TO our trade, boundaries, claims a.
gainst Portugal, the mission of Amin Fey
to this country and its effect upon the Tur-
kish Government. the approaching visit
OF kossuth. the references to the difficult
ty between France and the Sandwich Is
lands, the condition of Mexico and the va
rious schemes for inter-oceanic com,nu-
nication through her territories, the state
Of San Domingo and the relation between
China and our Government are all treat
ed ofin a satisfactory manner.
The recommendation Of the President
that a Commission be appointed to revise
and codify the public statutes is one Of
importance to all.and csnnut fail to com
mand the favor of Congress. We think,
also, the establishment ola Board for the
adjudication of private claims against the
Government, again submitted to the dis
%cretion of Congress, is measure demand.
ed by many considerations Of public con
veDience, economy and Justice.
That portion OF the Message to which
the country will be apt 10 look with mos
interest is its reference to the sectiona.
question. and the operation of the Com
promise measures. The President EN-.
'phatically reafirms his purpose to lend al

The day to which we have looked for.
ward with so much interest has come-the
day which is to test the wisdom, with which
thepeople Of Virginia will exercise the en-
larged political rights, hat have now fal
len into their hands-the day that is to de-
terminc an ever involving, as we con-
c~eive, in no small degree, the destiny of this
renowned Commonwealth. Wehave strong
hopes that the result may answer to our
wishes, and that the sun will go down this
evening upon George W. Summers, as
Governor elect Of Virginia.
done lei it be done with hearty zeal. This
is no day for idle deeds. In the words Of
our nobleleader, we say "work to the last"
BY all means go to the polls and vote early,
and then look around you for service
See, ifany faltcr, that you strengthen them;
if any stay away-that you go after them.
Let no vote be lost; for a solitary vote, by
possibility important to the election ofMr.
Summers, may by greater possibility Sc
cure the success of Col, Walker, and may
be necessary even TO the election ofSpecd
and Clark. We most earnestly believe,
hat consequences, higher and more mo-
mcnious to Virginia, hang upon the results
of this day, than have depended upon any
election within a quarter of a century. If
those Results should happen unlowardly,
we should not envy the feelings Of the man
who, by failing now to do his duty, will
have contributed 10 produce them.
Forward then to the fray! If the enemy
be greater than we in number, let US, like the
heroic Hungarian "mulliply our forces by

Hon. ThOS. =. ElOurnOy.

This gentleman addressed a crowded
house, last Thursday night, upon the po-
liiical questions of the day, in a speech
marked by all those traits oforatory which
have given him SO conspicuous a place a
mong the public speakers Of Virginia. By
turns eloquent, humorous and cogent, he
enchanted the attention Of his auditory, and
infused the finest spiri, into his party. We
have rarely seen a speech more cordially
received. and rarely heard one that better
deserved to be so received.
