MONDAY MORNING. MARCH "a. 1851.

.sTbe series of measures 10 which have alluded
are regarded by me as settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlcment-of the danger
GUS and exciting subjects which they embraced"
..Bv that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surroundcd
us, and have a firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will JUS
tify me EXPORTING MY couNTRYMES TO RALLY
UPON AND mAIsrAIs THAT GROUND as the best if
not the only means, of restoring peace and quiet
to the country, and maintaining involate the in
tegrity Of the Union"
IPREsIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE
'tThe 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 Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
surcs of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
we're not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a 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 adj
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse That opinion, 80
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace Oft the country requires this the security Of
the Constitution requires this; and every conside-
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 "

DISTURBANCE ON THE PUBLIC WoRKs.--Thc Buff.
falo Commercial Advertiser states that there is every
probability of riot, an extensive scale, on the
lines of the CONNECTION and Hornellsvie and Attica
railroads and Genesee Valley canal. Great num-
bers of Irish, some five six thousand in ALL it is
said are concentrated in that region, armed with
deadly weapons, and ready and willing to use
them against each other The of the i'll feeling
among them is, not that some Of them are Catho-
lies some of them Professionals, but that all of them
were not born in the same totcnship, and therefore
they array in deadly hate province against pro-
vince, county against county, and town against
town, just they sometimes do Mt home 1t is
affirmed by those wel-informcd that there will be
collision between the "sCorls'' and "Connaughts'
in few days. We trust the authorities will be on
the alert, and see to it that such outrage be per-
mittcd to take place.

Cost OF Raising Flax.

On recent occasion we invited some of our
agricultural friends to favor us with statement
of the cost of raising flax, and Of the quantity
obtained from an acre, and we have now to ac-
knowledge the attention of one of our friends
in sending US number of an excellent agri-
cultural and family journal, entitled Moore's
Rural .Ne,o Yorker, containing the information
desired, in letter from one of its correspond
ents, from which we take the following ex-
tract:
'In lS47 raised sixteen acres of flax, producing
a little over $500 as gross receipts From my book
of that year copy the following results of one acre
surveyed, of about the average Of the field
Weight of flax and seed before threshng, 3,S4S
lbs; weight of flax after the seed off, 1864 lbs;
weight of flax after it dew rotted, 2, 009 lbs
weight of lint when dressed, 34s lbs; quantity of
clean seed, thirteen bushels one pint, and one and
quarter bushels of yellow seed.
Flax sold for 10 cts. per h.. $34 so

Expenses of seed, interest on land, at & so per
and every expense attending the flax, $l4 rs.
This, however, is less than ordinary, as own a
mill for dressing the flax This season one acre OF
max mas produccu ~ bushels OF seed and 5iS lbs. oil
| flax
The average here obtained is, we believe,
considerably more than the average yield of
| cotton lands, and the advantage resulting from
the fact that faxseed is Of great value for crush
| ing and feeding purposes, is very great. The
cost per acre is set down at Sl4 rs, but that
includes rent at three dollars per acre, and the
| expense of pulling by hand Alta late meeting
| Of the New York Agricultural Society, it was
| stated by Mr.. ELLSWORTH, late Commissioner
| of Patents, that it could be raised in great
abundance upon the cheap lands of the West,
and that it could be harvested at very small
+ cost by aid of the reaping machine, now 50 ex-
| tensively used in some of the western States.
We observe that Improvements have been
made in the preparation of hemp, similar to
those which are said to have been effected in
regard to flax, and, as the subject is one of
much interest to every portion of the Union, we
shall be obliged if any of our agricultural read
| ers will furnish us with statement similar to
the above in regard to the cost of raising it and
| he amount of product.

Burlington Oowa) on the 22d OF February, at
which resolutions in favor Of the Compromise were
adopted with great enthusiasm The resolutions
were offered by w. S. Graf, Formerly of Mary
land who delivered an able and eloquent address
in their support. Among the resolutions adopted
was the following:
"Resolved, That the Fugitive Slave law, passed at
the last session of Congress, is in accordance with
the Constitution; that it neither aboshes the "trial
by jury" nor does ii suspend the writ OF habeas
corpus" and that it does not repeal tho Fugitive
Slave law of 1893, nor is essentially different from
it, but in its general provisions better calculated to
do impartial justice, both to the fugitive and his
master"

AN ATTEMPT AT A Fu0rrIvE SLAVE CASH was
made at Northampton last week. A fugitive slave
girl living in a family in the town alleged that
she had seen her master twice iE the street; and
that he had at first asked her to return with him
her to go back. Subsequent to this allegation, the
girl appeared terrified and distressed, and finally
measures were taken to remove her to place Of
safety. Nothing, however, has been seen by any
one excepting the girl herself OF the BLOODHOUND"
said to be in pursuit of her. The only evidence to
corroborate the girls statement is, that colored
man, also fugitive slave, says he saw two stran-
gers, whom he knew to be southerncrs get into the
cara on the day mentioned by the girl as that on
which she last saw her master. The GIRL it is fur
