:
1.-The series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-oftheda danger
Gus and exciting subjects which they embraced
"By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation thatsurrounded

to rest upon And the occasion, trust, Will JUS
tify me IN ExHoRrIso MY coUNTRYMsE TO RALLY

IPaEsIDEST FILLMoRR's MESSAGE.
"The President q message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion ofall
those associated with him in the Executive admin
sistraton 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
nalsettlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
we're not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
"a system OF compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
stained from conflicting sectional interest and
Opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
shered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, 80
tar as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisivey. The
peace ofthe country requires this the security OF
'the Consttutionrequires this; and everyconside-
ration Of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon theprinciples
ofthe message ii does not expect to stand at all +"

A recent reviewer in remarking on epstolary
correspondence, says, very happily, that " let
tiers open to US the erigencies Of life, and the
differences Of character, in the most unstudied
and incidental manner. BY means of them
Our knowledge of life, as it actually exists,
with all its hopes and fears and sympathies,
is as much enlarged as in the most successful
fictions, and necessarily with stronger con-
viction Of truth than any fiction, after we are
ten years old, can possibly command" We
have been struck with the truth of this obser-
walton in running our eye over the correspond
ence recently brought to light by the National
Democratic Committee. How very odd seem
the " exigencies OF ife'' which bring to-
gether committee of gentlemen to canvass for
the elevation of General HoUsroN to the Presi-
dency through correspondence with Mr.. VAN
buren,, General CeMNAEDER, Mr.. b. II. Hal
lett, Mr.. Justice WOODBURY., and Senator
CHASE. The unstuded letters Of such con-
s,ellation Of political worthless certainly enlarge
our knowledge of life" very materially, and
furnish us much matter for useful reflection.
With regard to the publication Of these let
ters by the Democratic Committee, it does not
appear whether or not they were originally de-
signed for the press; but it is to be presumed
that such distinguished gentlemen as figure in
the correspondence before us knew TO whom
they were writing, and would not communicate
with gentlemen who would publish their let
ters without their leave. For this reason we
are bound to presume that these letters appear
with the consent or acquiescence of their
writers; and as they are all upon public topics,
and written apparently with the view of diff
fusing useful intelligence, they furnish very
appropriate subjects for public comment DIR.
JOHNSON said one day to BozzY, at is now be-
come so much the fashion to publish letters.

letters to the Democratic National Committee

as little as their respective writers could well
put into them, but they are 81 well worth re
publication, Notwithstanding. as "Gpriosities."
Of the character thus described is the letter
of Mr. VAN buren, to Mr.. DoSALDsoN. which

ment. They are not the men, one would hope,
to shrink from any just application of the princi
plies of Jefferson. II has become fashionable in
some quarters to deprecate the father of American
Democracy, and to disparage the glorious truths
which he embodied in the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence The Democracy of Clinton, trust,
will follow no such bad example but, standing
together upon the broad platform of equal rights
and exact justice for all, and special privi-
leges for any, maintain their consistency and their
honor-under all circumstance-wheth for the
time, prosperous or adverse. Consistency and
honor preserved ennoble success and dignity de-
feat. Yours, very sincerity,

1t is charming to listen to man of ''senti-
ment," like Mr. CHASE, discussing of "con-
sistency and honor" Where were his consis-
tency and honor when he succeeded in de-
bauching the Democracy of Ohio by the partition
of State spoils among their leaders as condition
of the Senatorial seat to himself? This ''bargain
and sale" was as notorious in Ohio as that by
which Mr. SUMNER was elected to the Senate
by the Massachusetts Legislature BY this
corrupt proceeding Mr.. CHASE Struggled him
sell into the Senate; having managed to iden-
tify himself with the DEMOCRATIC party, he
commits the indiscretion in letter designed for
publication, of writing about "honor preserved"
We have not yet disposed of all the letters
Of the correspondents Of the National Demo-
cratic Committee; there are more of them de-
serving of commentary, and those we reserve
for another day.

Few things would give me more satisfaction tkan
to be present on that occasion, and confer freely
With my fellow citizens upon the of action
which faithful Adhesion TO Democratic principles
demands; and it is with real reluctance that |
relinquish the hope of being with you.
Ceaseless efforts are now made, in certain quar-
tcrs, 10 commit the Democracy to the support Of
the Compromise measures of the last Congress,
adopted under the auspices and through the infu.
encc Of the existing Wing Administration. These
efforts may be attended With temporary and par
tial succcss; but they cannot advance in any way
the Democratic cause, or hasten the triumph OF
Democratic principles; tho contrary, just 30
far as they succeed, they will, in my judgment,
dcbase the aims, lower the standard, and depress
the energies Of the Democracy.
The Compromise measures stand condemned

State debt of Texas the conversion of the national
free territory into Texan slave territory the ut
tempt fetter the discretion Of future Congresses
in respect to the admission of new States; the
omission to the inhabitants OF the new Ter
ritories in the full enjoyment of the inaiienable
rights Of life liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
and the assumption of unconstitutional power in
the enactment Of the odious Fugitive Slave bill,
cannot be successfully defended. Who believes
that any Democrat would attempt a defence OF
them were II not for the imagined necessity Of
ciiating slaveholding support 10 national nomina-
tions for the Presidency and Vice Presidency
But It must be remembered that this support may
be purchased too dearly. There is great body Of
Democrats who will never consent to subjugaton

ent action under p truly Democratic banner, and

SING TO Me.
BY SAMUEL J. PIKE.

Ohi softly sing TO me my own
For would have my heart forget
he weary burdens it hath known,
The cares that Finger round 1t yet
On sing TO me, my beautiful
And tho its darkening depths, my breast,
Shall feel thy music thrill, and hull
Its throbbing tenderly to rest.
Sing lowly, as a maid at even
Lifts bushingly her orison
Ssnp gentle as the showers OF Heaven
Come 10 the flowers, beloved one
And while listen at thy feet,
The treasures of thy melody
Shall fall upon my SOUL as sweet
AS a starlight on the sleeping sea.
No dew unto the chalices
Of blossoms, when they thirst, can be
A more refreshing Gift than is
Thine own delicious voice to me-
Which liiteth up the load, that lies
Upon my bosom heavily,
And bids my laden spirit rise,
Remembering only love and thee.
Thy love is all have on earth;
ask, seek no wealth beside,
For riches are but little worth,
Compared with thy found heart, my pride
Compared with smiles, that beam for me-
And tears more cherished still than they,
That thy dear eyes shed silently
And sadly, when | am away
Then lean thy brow upon my breast,
Entrust thy slender hand to mine
And sing TO me how we are blessed
Thou in my love, and in thine
Oh sing my beautiful, my own!
For | would have my heart forget
The weary burdens ii hath known
The cares that lmger round it yet.
