THE REPU BLIC.
WASHINGTON:
SATURDAY MORNING NOVEMBER %. 1851,

"The series of measures to which have alluded
'are regarded by me a settlement, in principle
and substances final settlement-ofthe danger
'ous and exciting subjects which they embraced ="
BY that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
US, and have a firm, distinct, and legal ground
TO rest upon. And the occasion, trust, VIII JUS
tity me IN EXPORTING MY coUNTRYMEN TO RALLY
uPoN AND MAINTAIN THAT GROUND as the best, II
not the only means Of restoring peace and quiet
TO the country, and maintaining lnyloate the IN
tegrity of the Union"
IPREsIDENT 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 Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
Of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfectons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
: system of compromise the most concihatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions, and that therefore they should De au-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the aecessty 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 decisivey
The peace of the country requires this; the Sc
curty of the Constitution requires this; and every
consideration Of the public good demands this
If the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, it does not expect tc
stand at all."-DANIEL WEBsTER's Letter 10 thu
Union Meeting at Westchester.

expect to find Mr.. Parker uncompromsing wing, as
he has bccn but at the time we would much
rather see such men in the councils Of the nation than
abolitionists and demagouges -
We hope to live the day when the democracy in
the Wayne district, will be able elect Jeer-

faithfully in that district for the of the democratic

something from political opponents, reducing their
