"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 Executive admin

are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
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 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
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad.
hercd TO-, until time and experience should de-
monstratc the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, %
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 conside-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles

Society, in which it is stated that $50 absolute
is the sway Of the slave power" in the city of
New York, ''and such the fear of mobocratic
8 excesses, stimulated by the Union committee
on the one hand and the lawless Rynders and
his crew on the other, that no meeting house

either for the love of liberty or Of gold, for

/" Leaving these cities to the historical infamy
which awaits them," the address proceeds to
say that the next meeting of the Anti-Slavery
Society will be held in Syracuse, New York,
on the 7th Of May next. The Journal of Com
nerce, commenting on this call, says:

assertion that no meeting house or hall in that

love Of liberty or for gold, for the accommodation
of the society and that neither in Brooklyn can
any suitable building be obtained for this pur.

An election for member 70 the Providence
district took place on Friday, and resulted in
the choice Of THOMAS J. STEAD, Wing, by $50
majority over all competitors. This completes
the General Assembly. The House stands 81
Wings and 35 Democrats, including WARD
WELL, Free-soil, with the Democrats. The
Senate stands IA Wings and II Democrats,
including the Lieut.. Governor and one Free
soiler. One seat in the House, held by a
Democrat, will be contested.
The Providence Journal says that at least
six towns, deciding the late election and revo-
lutionizing the General Assembly, were carried
by the dead power of money. 1t adds, also
Men stood at the polls with money in their
hands, Offering from ten to, in some cases, hum
dred dollars for a vote. One man Of enormous and
rapidly acquired wealth made no secret of this
boast. that Wing town, with seventy five majori
ty, should return a Democratic majority, If money
could buy it. A Democratic candidate in one of the
towns which failed to elect the first trial. boasted
that one thousand dollars had been placed in his
hands, and that he was authorized to expend an
equal amount in addition. Nothing like this, we
say, was ever before known in Rhode Island. In
reply 70 charge that the election cost the Dem
ocrats twenty thousand dollars, the Post says that
it is cheap enough that the peoples rights, a
phrase which is of very plain significance in that
quarter, are worth more than anyInumber of dol
lars.' The Mirror, which has sympathized with
the Democratic party throughout, says 1T is no
more than fair that the Democrats should have the
worth of their money occasionally"
