of Mr.. FMLMoRE's official conduct; and which
we reproduce for the benefit of the calumna-

charge which they know TO be unfounded.

ssaIing-war ON Letters.

The Post Office Department is officially adj
vieed that letters for California, and other places
on the coast of the Pacific ocean, frequently
reach there with the envelopes partly torn off,
and the address mutilated, in consequence OF
the practice of many persons in using sealing
wax on their envelopes
In passing through the tropics the wax is
invariabIy melted SO as to destroy all semblance
of seal, and frequently to adhere to the letter
beneath it, and cause the injury or destruction
Of the address in separating the two.
The Postmaster General furnishes this infor-
nation to the public in the hope that the use of
sealng-wax on letters, and other papers for that
direction, will hereafter be entirely discon-
tinued

The Secretary OF State returned to Boston
on Friday, from New Hampshire, and took
up his old quarters at the Revere House. He
is rather thin in flesh, but we are happy to
learn that his health has been much improved
by his recent respite from official labors. There
is no indication in his appearance of that "fai-
ing health and "rapid decline' about which
something has been said in certain newspapers.

Improvement OF the Upper mississippi.

The Iowa and Illinois journals attach great
Importance to a convention about to be held at
Burlington, in the former State, to devise plans
for the removal of he-obstructions to the navi-
CATION Of the Upper Mississippi The import
ance of the work is admitted on all hands; it
affects vitality the interests Of the vast ,dy of
settlers who are yearly added to the population
of the northwest; and its practicability is so
manifest, in an engineering sense, that the won
der is, not that it is now about to be undertaken
but that it was not accomplished long ago. The
opposition tointernal Improvements which has
unfortunately prevailed in the National Legisla-
ture only partially explains the delay, which is
attributable in large degree to petty jealousies,
and the consequent want of any thing like una
nimity, on the part of the towns and villages
most concerned. This conflict of feeling gives
rise to opposite plans Of improvement, and forms
the greatest obstruction that the convention will
have to encounter. 1t is to be hoped that a
spirit of forbearance and generous confidence
will on this occasion prevail, and that the meet
ing will result in the adoption of a plan which
will command the support of all interested in
the development of the northwestern trade and
resources.
Taking into consideration the immense ex-
tent of territory affected, and its rapidly-in-
creasing commerce, the matter seems to US one
which will justify an appeal to Congress for
the means of carrying out the project. We
learn from the Des Moines Wig that steps
have been taken for the improvement of the
lower rapids, whether Government renders
any assistance or not; contract for that pur-
pose having been entered into between BANGS,
Brothers & Co., of New York, and COM
pany in existence at Keokuk.
The citizens of st. Louis appear to take a
lively interest in the proceedings, and, at the
date of the last mail thence, were about TO elect
numerous delegation to the convention.

VIRGINIA and the Compromise.

The Union brings up the whole Democracy
of the South, niIly ,otlly, to stand on the Com
promise platform. 1t lets them all in to the
fold-nullifier and secessonist, SO 80 men,
and anti Compromise men fall hues and com
Plexions. Though the Democracy Of fifteen
States have resolutely refused TO have word
to say for the Compromised is only by this
that the Compromise is to be maintained and
executed!
Nay, it is in the North only that the Union
regards the Compromise as a test. 1t denounces
the Who's of New YORK because they claim
the right of discussing all subjects, while they
at the same time acquiesce in the measures of
the WING Administration. But it applauds in
the DEMOCRATS Of Virginia what it condemns
in the Wines of New York. Let us look at
its paragraph of yesterday on VIRGINIA:
"Many of the Virginia people opposed the late
Compromise. Some opposed feature; some
opposed another; some opposed all. But the
Compromise being enacted, they remembered
with pride the attitude of Virginia before and
during the Revolution. They remembered with
greater pride that she was the mother of our Con-
sttution. They will abide by it; they will main
tain it; they will defend it. ut the same time she
tpH giue TO all her the right 10 scrutnse freely
all acts Of The Federal Gou9nment-making no IL
sue Nth them until issue becomes necessary and
ineuitable."
Certainly. VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS may
have free scrutiny and free discussion; but
these must be abjured by New York WHIss.
1t is crime in New York Wines because
they are only willing TO ''acquiesce" in the
Compromise; but it is merit in Virginia DE
MocRATs not only TO refuse acquescence, but
to scrutinize and discuss the Adjustment mea-
sure with entire freedom Thus it is, &C
cording to the homely proverb, that one man
may steal sheep where another is hung for
looking over the wall.
The DEMOCRATS of Virginia did not dare to
take vote on the Compromise queston-there
were too many Secessionists and Disunionists
among them to render such an experiment safe
The Wines of Virginia stand with the UNION
party of GEORGIA, MISSISSIPPI, ALABAMA,
TENNESSEE, upon the measures of Adjustment
and the doctrines of President FILLMoRE's an
nual message. In this respect they enjoy a
great advantage over their adversaries, fol
they enter the field.with the prestige of Union
victories throughout the entire South to encou.
rage and animate them.
We believe with the Un,on that the people
of VIRGINIA will maintain and defend and
abide by the Compromise" But we submit that
the only way in which they can do it is by sup
porting the candidates of the party which has
stood up boldly and in good faith to the Com,
promise, and not those of the party which has
disowned and repudiated it.

Magnanimlty, or even justice, we have long
ceased to expect at the hands of the Union in
matters of political controversy; but we were
scarcely prepared to find our contemporary
obstinate in the reiteration of a statement re-
lating to ourselves which we have more than
once explicitly denied. In this instance the
question is one of fact, not of argument or
opinion and the Union cannot be permitted to
invest it with any other character.
The Union has again and again asserted
that we gave tacit approval to the statements
and recommendations of the foreign press as to
the Intervention Of France and England in the
affairs of Spain. The Union published that
statement distinctly on the 9th inst. On the fol-
lowing day we met the accusation by reference to
previous articles in the RepubHc-one published
many days previously; and we proved by a
quotation of passages that we had uniformly,
and from the first, deprecated every thing like
intermeddling as between this country and
another. OF these proofs the Union took no
notice, but it nevertheless again put forward
the charge on the llth. In our next issue we
repeated the denial, referred to our file in proof,
and challenged the Union to come to the issue
as one of veracity. In yesterdays publication
it evades our challenge, and seeks to hide its
falsity by paltry equivocaton.
We tell the Unioltsthat in this case vague
words will not do. Shutting or abuse will
not serve its purpose. 1t is on the hook, and
cannot escape without damage to its candor or
its truthfulness. A pretty position for the me-
tropoitan organ of the great Democracy!

The GREER AND DoNALDsoS CONSEQUENCE
The New York Herald, copying and commenting
on an article from the Union of this city, endea-
voring to throw doubt on the authenticity of tho
letters published in that paper addressed to Messrs.
Greer and Donaldson, says:
1--WE do not know, neither do we care, whether
or not there are such persons in existence as c. IL.
Donaldson and Nathaniel Greer; but we do affirm,
as we have before affirmed, that the letters which
were written in answer to the letters signed Don
aldson and Greer were genuine. IL appears to us
that the less there is said about these letters the
better it will be; and the Union should DO the last
newspaper in the country TO agitate the subject,
When the writer's Of these letters deny their au-
thcnticity il will be time for the Union to do the
same. This they have not done, and cannot do,
for we the originals, and compared them with
the copies.n

From the Montgomery (Ala,) Register.
President FiIImore,s Views.


If the AdUertiser will examine the remarks in the
Washington Republic prefacng the republication
Of President FILLMoREs letter, written in 1885, to
an can't. Slavery Society" it will perceive that it
has wholly mistaken the object of the republica ton
and does great injustice to the motives of the Presi
dent. The Republic expressly states that the letter
is published in full, because ga garbled copy has
been going the rounds of the press, emitting the
portion which declares Mr.. FILLMoREs unwilling
ness to commit himself by any pledge which would
deprive him of discretionary action as public
officer any measure that might come before
him. The object ia not to "reissue' the
letter as exposition of the Presidents opin-
dent has shown that he has fully and entirely re-
nounced the views therein expressed, but to coun-
teract the injustice springing from publication
at the South of only portion of the letter. We
are pretty that the Advertiser itself has here
tofore copied the Presidents letter tpihout the por-
ton now supplied by the Republic, and recollec-
ton of this fact might have aided it in divining the
object had in view in giving the letter in full.
We do not believe that President FILLMORE is
seeking a nomination for the Presidency, though
he has many ardent friends in the slaveholding
States (few in the North) who are bringing his
name forward; but do think that man who
has provsd himself so patriotic and national in his
sheet anchor of southern rights, and faithful in
all his high duties, ought to receive common JUS
tice at the hands of his bitterest opponents.

The MARYLAND MINING COMPANY FAILURE
The Cumberland Miners Journal, referring tothe
failure of freeman Rawdon, the agent of the Ma
ryland Mining Company, says
"The failure of this gentleman rendered neces-
sary an assignment on the part OF the Maryland
Mining Company, which has accordingly been
made. The news Of this assignment was received
at the mines on Monday, and resulted in an i'm
mediate cessation Of operations on the part of the
miners.
oOn Wednesday intelligence received from
New York that the assignee of the Mining Com
var WAGES and that operations at the mines would bo
continued usual. This information, which is
entirely reliable, will, hope, have the effect of
quoting the apprehension of the miners aud others
employed at tho Eckhart mines. We think this
should be the effect we cannot for moment sup
pose that there will be any failure to comply with
his promises on the part of the assignee of the
Company. In fact there is every reason TO believe
that before this paper goes to press the money will
have arrived, and all uneasness will be at end"

TPREsIDENT FILLMoREs 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 Goyernment, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea
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 imperfectons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and beat for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation &c
guard against evasion or abuse That opinion
80 far as ! know, remains entirely unchanged
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively
The peace of the country requires this; the Sc
curiy of the Constitution requires this; and every
consideration of the public good demands this

principles of the message, it does not expect to
stand at all."-DANIEL WEBsTER's Letter 10 The
