Congress-.

In the Senate, yesterday, bill to amend the
acts regulating the appraisement of imported
merchandise, and for other purposes, and the
bills to make Cambridge port of entry, and to
change the time for holding the United States
courts in Ohio, were considered and passed.
The remainder of the days session was occu-
pied in the consideration of the bill relative to
private land claims in California.
In the House of Representatives the bill to
establish a branch mint in New York and one
in California was considered in Committee OF
the Whole on the state Of the Union; and all Of
its sections were finally stricken out, and sub
stitute adopted, at the instance of Mr.. BAYIY,
in relation to gold ingots and bars. A motion
was made in the House to lay the bill, thus
amended, ON the table, but it did not prevail;
and an adjournment took place pending the de-
mand for the previous question on concurring in
the amendment of the Committee of the Whole
on the state of the Union.

We received yesterday the San Augustine
(Texas) Herald of the It'll January, contain
ing the PRESIDENTS Message, and long arii-
Gle reviewing and commenting on it. The
Herald agrees mainly with the doctrines of the
PRESIDENT except on the subjects Of the tariff
and internal Improvements. In concluding its
article the Herald says
upon the whole, however, we consider MIR
FILLMoRK's very good mcssage-far better than
could have been expected from President who
came into Office under such inauspicious circum-
stances. Reared and educated in the North his
earliest impressions supposed to have been aboli-
tion-it was naturally inferred that he would
have inclined to the views in that section But the
contrary has been the fact. lie has been just to
the South, and to every section of the Union.
His firmness in carrying cut the Fugitive Slave
law is worthy of all acceptation. His decision Of
character in declining TO reply to Governor SEA-
BRooK's insolent inquiry as to the object of sta
tioning United States troops in Charleston, South
Carolina, marks him a man fitted for the times
We say Justice to all sections of the Union-intimi-
dation from And 30 long as Mr.. FILLMORE
continues to carry out this doctrine will Gust lin
him in it.
"We believe we have alluded to the principal
topics of the message. We will continue to watch
with interest the course of Mr. FiLLMoRE. II he
errs. will endcavor mildly but firmly, to point
out his errors, and insist their correction. When
his is consistent, we will endeavor to do Linn
justice. As partisan we opposed to him. But
az citizen of the United States feel that owe
him allegiance long he continues justly to
ercise the powers Of the Office to which he has been
called by Providence"

THE REPUBLIC.
WASHINGTON:
WEDNESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 5. 1851

ihe series Of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me a settlement, in principle
and suhstance-a final settlement-of the danger
Gus and exciting subjects which they embraced -
"By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
u.s. and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will jus.
lily me IN ExHoRTISo MY coUsrRYMEN TO RALLy
UPON AND 9AfsrAIs THAT GROUND as the best, il
hot the only means, Of restoring peace and quiet
to the country, and maintaining inviolate the in
tegrity of the Union.''
lPaEsIpsNr 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 Exec tve admin
stration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace, that though they
were not free from mpcrfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
u system OF compromise the most conciliatory
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-
monsrate the necessity of further Legislation t.
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, &C
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 consde-
ration Of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, it does not expect to stand at ALL

The Prospect.

The facts given in the second chapter of Mr..
CAREY's recent pamphlet, republished in an
other part of this paper, will be found worthy
of the careful attention of our readers. Our
opponents insist that it is cheaper to obtain iron
and cloth by the indirect means of raising corn,
cotton, and tobacco, than by the direct means of
smelling the ore and spinning the wool, and
that by pursuing their course of operation we
shall have SO much more agricultural produce
to sell that we shall be enabled to purchase and
consume much larger quantities Of both cloth
and iron. 1t is here, however, shown that un-
der the tariff of 1923, the first protective one,
when domestic manufactures increased with
such rapdity, the agricultural product increased
so much that, while we consumed far more
than we had previously done, we had far more
to sell to foreign nations, and that, instead Of
becoming worse customers to them, we became
from year to year better customers that the
demand for ships increased rapidly, and that
trade increased greatly in amount state Of
things directly confrmatory Of the doctrine that
g the only road to perfect freedom of trade lies
through perfect protection" We look anx-
iously for Mr.. Walkers acceptance of Mr.. Ca
REY's challenge to discussion Of the facts he
has adduced in support Of this proposition, be-
ing well convinced that it must result in the
conversion of the &c free trade league" into ad-
vocates of efficient and complete protection, as
the only means by which the object Of their
association can be attained.

The Star, of Syracuse, repudiates for the cit
liens of that place any sympathy with the Abo-
lition meetings that have been frequently held
there; and AYERS that there is no city in the
State, except perhaps New York, whose inhab-
itants more generally and cordially disapprove
of the conduct and doctrines Of the Abolitionists.
The leading characters who figure in those
meetings are always imported; and the number
who take any actual part in conducting the pro-
ceedings is always very limited, as was seen at
the late anti-Fugitive Slave Law Convention.
SO it is with the town Of Cazenovia, in the
same State. ga more orderly, law-abiding,
and intelligent population" says the Star,
s. than that comprised in the village of Cazeno-
via, is not to be found in the whole Union.
Yet, by one-half the country, that beautiful
village regarded the very hot bed Of all that
is odious and abominable in ulta abolition and
resistance to the laws of the land. There, az
here, the Abolitionists seem 10 have estab-
lished 4 sort Of campground, where the
Smiths, the Douglasses, the Kelleys, the
Fosters, and their co-laborers, assemble to de-
nounce the church, the ministers, and the
laws Of the country. The anti-Fugitive Slave
law meeting at Cazenovia, last summer, was
a most disgracefu exhibition Of this character.
And other meetings Of the same stamp have
recently been got up there"
So great nuisance has this become, that the
citizens of that village have taken measures to
vndicate their character from the stigma which
these fanatics have cast upon them. The fol-
lowing resolutions, signed by two hundred and
fifty well-known and respectable citizens of
Cazenovia, we find in the Madison Observer:

have chosen our village a convenient place of
meetings that their proceedings have been con-
demncd by ninet cnths Of our populations; and that
the general association Of the name of Cazenovia
with them and their actions, has arisen merely from
their own extravagant claims, and the cxaggern-
ion OF newspaper reporters; that this general mis-
representation of our character demands from us a
definite expression Of our opinions,

At a meeting of the citizens of Fayette county
Pennsylvania, held in the courthouse, in Union
town, on the 2Sth January, 1851, the following
resolutions, reported by the Hon. Andrew Stewart
as chairman of Committee of Thirteen, were
unanimously adopted:
1. Rssoiued, AS the sense of this meeting, called
without distinction Of party, that "thc compro-
mice" Of the slavery question, settled by Con-
gress at the last session, ought to be acquesced in
BY all good citizens, s.as the final settlement" oil
question alike dangerous to the harmony and in
tcgrity of the Union.
2 Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave law is
constitutional, and ought 10 be carried out in good
faith.
B. RESOLVED, That Qualification or the pre-.
tended right of States individuals to nulify and
resist such laws they disapprove, is subvcrsvc OF
all law, and If carried out, must end in rebellion
and treason against the Government.
4. Resoircd, That we regard the Union of the
States the ark of our safety " and in it's defence
eve pledge our lives, fortunes, and our sacred
honor"

DIsUNIoN AT THE NoRTH.-We have been told,
repeatedly, (says the Troy WMg,) by the Free
soil press, that there disunionissat the North
and on this assumption " Union Meetings" and
"Safety Committees" have been denounced and
ridiculed. Now, to show that there are disunion-
lists at the North, entertaining sentiments as dan
Gus to the permanent existence of the Union as
those expressed by the disunioniss of South Caro-
lima and Mississippi, we have only TO quote the fol-
lowing from two prominent journals, one OF which
is published in this State, and the other in New
England. Both are influential and extensively
circulated
From the Neto York Independent.
1t is CERTAIN that in the end the Union will he
broken. Commercial connexions may hold it for
a time. Political interests may Intervene to sus-
tain it, There will doubtless be many and earnest
struggles, before severance is accomplished. But
the end will come, certainly as the years. Ii
will come peaceably and without violence; because
the moral sense Of the North revolts from war.
But it will come inevitably, and none stay it.
From the Worcestsr Spy.
The feeling is growing stronger every day in the
free States that the mutual benefits of the Union
fiction and the fact that free men can be taken
from the North and consigned to slavery, proves
that it is If this feeling deepens and widens
1t surely ia doing, in consequence Of the political
grcssons upon our rights by southern slavery then
farewell to all these illusions and dreams Of one
great prosperous republic covering this continent
from shore to shore. The North will in the end be
compelled to divorce its Infamous partners sure
God reigns and the South, like some iniquitous
courtezan, will sink into premature decay from the
disease which she bears i1hcr own bosom.
