FiIlmore's Adj administration.

The growing popularity Of the present Ad-
minstration of our National Government must
be source Of exultation to every true Wing.
Nor should the gratitude which is justly duo the
President for his wise prudent, and firm course in
reference 10 the execution OF the Fugitive Slave
law be hemmed in by any party lines. He was
called to the helm OF the ship Of State at peril
Gus period. Tho storm raging with intense
fury, and threatened to engulf every thing sacred
and valuable. He assumed his position with n
calm but resoute purpose to do his duty and leave
the consequences to his God. That position he has
held with no faltcring of purpose. no sinking Of
the heart into cowardy despair, no tampering
with error and wrong for cxpedients upon which
to throw off responsibility. There has been no.
thing of all this. Ho has stood upon the prov Of
that noble old vessel erect, with his face 70 the
storm. his heart beating high with courage and
patriotism He is the pilot who, so far, has wca-
thered that storm. Tho whole nation owe him
debt OF gratitude. He has for himself a
proud position amongst the great names of our
country's history. He deserpss that position. He

The Charleston Evening News.

1t is announced in the -Evening .Ns,cs of the
Goth instant, published at Charleston, S. c.,
that the connexion of BENJAMIN +. PORTER,
esq, its late editor, ceased from that day; and
that w. Y. Paxton, esq, would continue the
publication of the paper on his own account.
Though disappearing, of course, of the disunion
sentiments which we have occasionally found
in the columns of the .Ne,cs, under its late edi-
torial management, we have nevertheless adj
mired the talent and general soundness Of
judgment which it has displayed on all topics
disconnected with South Carolina politics; and
the regret that we now feel at the retirement
Of its late gentlemanly and intelligent editor is
only moderated by the information which we
have received from another source that this
journal is henceforth to be sound in politics, as
it has hitherto been on every other subject.

Mr.. webster and the Adjustment.

Our contemporary of the metropolitan DEMO
CRATIC organ is disposed to establish new tests
in regard to the Compromise measures of the
last Congress. 1t is not enough, in the view
Of the Union newspaper, that Northern
man should acquiesce in the adjustment, and
declare his determination in good faith to abide
by it on the ground laid down in the message
OF President FILLMORE. All his notions must
be squared to the extreme Southern view of the
question. He must look at it through Southern
eyes, with Southern predictions, relations, and
surroundings. Mr.. WEBSTER, it seems, can
not be considered the friend of the Compromise
unless he approves absolutely every feature in
it, and abandons even the positions of his great
speech of the 9TH of March, speech that was
then hailed with acclamation by the people of
the South as universally acceptable, save only to
the dostrinares of the Nashville convention.
Hence il is that his recent speech at Buffalo is
made the subject Of censorious criticism, although
itdoesno contain sentiment that Mr.. WEBsTER
hesitated TO avow in his place in the Senate,
and only states facts in regard to his public
course and his personal opinions that were per-
fectly notorious to the country. Those facts
Were on record. Those opinions were all in
print in thousand shapes. There was never
any attempt to conceal them-there was no
possibility of concealing them if there had ever
been the desire. Still. holding those opinions,
Mr. WEBSTER sees in the series Of measures
known as the adjustment, "a settlement, in
principle and substance final settlement OF
the dangerous and exciting subjects which
they embraced" He unites with President
Fu.LMoKE Gin exhorting his countrymen to
rally upon and maintain that ground as the
best if not the only means Of restoring peace
and quiet to the country, and maintaining in

Mr.. WEBSTER has been for months, by let

this view Of the question upon the people 9

addressing the citizens Of Buffalo. How wa

TPREsrpINr FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion fall
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
nre called the Adjustment Compromise mea-
.surcs 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 imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciatory
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-
smonstrate the necessity of further legislation TO
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, so
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
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at all'

dentals which have the honor of placing into your
hands, has accredited me his Envoy Extraordi-
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary near your Gov

To the Minister'S address the President re-
piled:
sIH: am happy to welcome you as the repre-
sentative of France, and to receive from you as
such the renewed assurance of friendship and sym
patty on the part of your government and coun-
try towards the United States.
Our friendship for France originated with our
struggle for national existence, and was cemented
by the minglng of the blood Of our revolutionary
sres with that Of their ales, the heroes of France
and, through all the various political changes Of
your great and enlightened country, deep senti-
ment of national sympathy has pcrvaded this peo-
ple rejoicing in your property, and haiing with
unaffected delight your recent advent among the
nations OF the earth a sister republic.
l beg lOave to you that nothing shall be
wanting on my part to maintain and strengthen
the friendly relations which now exist between the
two Governments, and draw more closely the ties
which bind them to each other. As one means Of
accomplishing this desirable object, again vel
come you to shores the diplomatic agent Of
