(PREsIDEsT FILLmoRE's MESSAGE.
"The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
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 mca-
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 impertections, 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 ad.
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity Of further legislation t.
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, 81
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, ant
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. Th,
peace Of the country requires this; the security
the Constitution requires this and every conside
ration of the public good demands this. If thu
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, it does not expect to stand at all

English Ere. Traders ON American Policy

English Free Traders ON American Policy.
Four years since the agricultural interest of
the Union was invited to assist at the sacrifice
of the coal-miners, the iron and cloth-makers,
and all others engaged in making market on
the land for the products Of the land. They
were told that these men constituted the
anti-productive interests, and that the true
mode of increasing the productive power of
the country was to make it as much as pos
sible dependent upon Great Britain for coal,
iron, and cloth, that she might be enabled
to fix the price of all the food and cotton
she desired to buy, and of all the cloth and iron
she desired to sell. The sacrifice is being made
Our furnaces and our mills are gradually being
closed, and the building of either has totally ceas
ed; and it may now interest our agricultural read
ers to see the views of their free trade friends in
England as to the tendency of the present course
of policy. That they may do SO, we offer them
the following extract from the London Eran,-
iner, just received, an ultra free trade journal
"Of the States destined to stretch along the Pa
cc, the development and destiny will be- like those
of the Atlantic board, commercial. They will cover
the Pacific with their fleets long before their poughs
reach the foot of the Rocky mountains. They ,oiH
be Of traders, not Of deoers; slavery they will
none Of Such labor is required 10 the labor that
freemen can and willaccomplishfo for themselves, and
in which they will not permit the slave to partci-
pate; and thus the purely agricultural and produe
the intsrests haue received check, and the limit
which restores the balance of power and influence
may already be discerned. The new census throws
startling light upon some Of these facts"
The "purely agricultural interests" have
undoubtedly received a check at the hands Of
the men who desired to sacrifice the great do
mestic market, for the purpose Of building up
small foreign commerce; but it is unkind in
the English advocates of our present revenue
system to speak SO contemptuously Of the farm
ers and planters of the Union, whose aid they
so recently courted, and unfortunately obtained.
If the traders have secured triumph over the
farmer and the planter, they should be content
to enjoy their success without boasting Of it.

The wing. OF Connecticut.

The Whig party of Connec ticut engage in the
coming contest under the most favorable auspices.
Their ranks are united, their courage high, their
determination strong. They have nominated good
men, and present them to the public with conf
dence in their integrity, talents, and patriotism.
These nominations have been made with unnnimi-
ty, and concurred in by the people with aacriy
and ZEAL The very feeling of success stimulates
all the working young Wings to renewed action |;
while the depressed, dispirited, divided condition
Of their opponents furnishes new fuel to their
ardor.
The Wings of Connecticut enter this contest
with strong attachment to the present National
Wing administration, and a firm reliance on its
wisdom, talents, and energy. There is not a
Wing in the State who does not feel confidence
in Mr.. Fillmore's sagacity. patriotism, and firm
ness and who does not hold up his head with pride
that National Administration 80 respected at
home and abroad is VINO, Whig to the pery core.
There ia not town within the limits of our terri
tory that does not exut in the idea Of supporting
such an Administrations calm, SO wise in its
management Of our foreign relations, 30 deter
mined that the laws shall be upheld at home, and
the prosperity of the country receive no check from
opposers of authority.
The Wings Of Connecticut enter this contest ,ciAi
an unioarering attachment to our glorious Union.
There is no disunion among them. There il no talk
about secession---"no cool calculation Of the value
OF the Union''-no fanatical pursuit of "singlc
idea" which would end in the destruction Of all that
constitutes our national prosperity and happiness.
Ihey are all Union men, ready to fling their votes,
TO employ their influence. if necessary to spend
their substance, and TO shed their blood for its
servat'on and perpetuity. This is no exaggeration
il will meet with response from the heart of every
Whig in the State, which they will rnanif.st when

The Whigs Of Connecticut enter ths contest with
belief that the interests of the country demand
that the policy of Government should encourage

great community than to create facilities of inter

improve the harbors of the lakes as well as tbose
the seaboard, and to furnish all the means necessa
ry for the carrying Of profitable and prosperous
internal commerce. They have no sectional jeal
ousies on this subject. As members of our grea
country they look to the well-being of the whole
and include in their policy all those measures thai
will benefit each part.
Tho Wings Of Connecticut enter this contest with
belief that the industrial Irsufs Of our own COM

own Government. They do not place confidence
in eystcm that would close our own manufac.
