The events crowded into the experience Of the
six working days of last week stamp il A. period
OF time most interesting and most noteworthy in
the history of the State of New York. The COM
manding influence of the Empire State. its great
wealth, its gigantic resources, its increasing mil
lions of population, each and all the direct
suit of that energetic prosecution, that careful os
tering and that provident development of tho in
ternal Improvements, and native advantages Of our
State, that have been leading feature in its pol
icy, and in the plans of many of its statesmen and
all its citizens, since the first great impulse given
by Dewitt Clinton.
But "the Gala Week. HAS other lessons that will
impress themselves upon the mind Of all. Itmarks
the spontaneous uprising Of the people to hail the
return of Willard Fillmore, the President of the
United States upon bis fret visit to his native State
since his accession to that exalted station.
1t is not alone TO the President that these demon
STATIONS of attachments and respect have been made.
They have been bestowed upon the man who dig
mites the Office, and who has shown himself the
President of section, but of the entire Confede-
racy; and has, mindless of the pretentious clamoi
of mad fanatics, administered The Government with
sole devotion to the general good.

10 Judge from the past that they will not be fairly
treated in future. WASHINGTON, JEFFERSON,
MADISON, MONROE, JACKSON, HARRISON, TY-
LER, Polk, and TAYLOR-nine out of thirteen
Presidents--in view of the relative population
and wealth of the North and South, certainly
will answer very well as far as we have gone.
Perhaps the South has had several more than it
was entitled to, if we are to put the matter
upon sectional grounds; and then we are to
consider that fire of the southern PRESIDENTS
have served tico terms, whereas none of the
northern PRESIDENTS has hitherto served more
than one term. Southern PRESIDENTS have
filled the chair Of State about fifty years; north
ern PRESIDENTS about thirteen years. Before
South Carolina will be honestly at liberty to
secede on the ground that the South does not
furnish PRESIDENTS enough, she will have to
wait at least half century.
Here we see the main spring Of all these Sc
ditious movements-the impulse of disappoint-
ed ambition 1t was this which stimulated the
action Of the Hartford Convention. This led TO
the seditious and reasonable convocations at
Buffalo and Nashville.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-05-22

We find in the recent speech of Mr.. Senator
BUTLER before the South Carolina Convention
the following passage:
"The southern States can no longer be the nurse
Of great statesmen The ambition of the eagles
flight will be no longer seen--we may have crows
and ducklings who will be ready TO be satisied
with the crumbs and garbage Of office. There
arc those who will be willing to make easy
transition to degradation, by being candidates
Tor the secondary and subordinate Offices Sup
'posehoe ,oere Provision in the Constitution that
no man from The South Atiantic States should be
eligible 10 the Presidency, il ,oould not change The
present state Of things. Such clause might as ,ceH
be IN the ConstifutionJor all practical purpose
When Mr.. BUTLER reproached Mr.. RHErr
for suggesting pecunary considerations for Sc
cession, we are surprised that he should him
self have resorted TO considerations but little
more elevated. Mr.. BUTLER must be aware
that in the order of things the southern States
may well enough wait while before they insist
upep dissolving the Union because they are not
allowed TO furnish the PRESIDENTS. Ii seems
to ~ that they have had very fair share hth
erto, so ample, indeed, that they have no reason

as yet The present Cabinet have all rendered
their resgnadons, but they will not be answered
till after the funeral.
The three important Department. ara State
Treasury, Interior have no doubt some man
known to be thoroughly sound on revenue matters

Department, have no idea who will have it. al.
though, if the power were with me, think could
find man. without going out OF Massachusetts,
who has talent enough, and knowledge enough,
but whether he is, at this moment, fresh in the
minds Of the people that his appointment would
strike the public mind favorably, may be a doubt.
Nobody can we'll be Secretary Of State who has
not fortune. unless he be bachelor. The Sccre-
tary of State ia the head of the administration, and
he must have house sometimes to receive guests
in. lie is of course necessarily in daily communi
cation with the diplomatic corps, which believe
Is twice as numerous now it was twenty years
ago.
My dear sir. you the spirit of good will which
is manifesting itself here. This is the golden OPP
portunity, be assured.
The opposition gentlemen are deterInineds all
the conservative part of them at least, to give tho
Administration fair play Mr. Fillmore is we'll

noyances, from the rather overbearing spirit Of
certain quarter but hope he will stand stiff If he
is successful in forming his Administration, verify

things than we have enjoyed for twenty years.

IPREsIpENT 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 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 imperfections, 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 to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, 80
fny as l know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace 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

Fnom BuENos AYREs.-By an arrival at this port
files OF the British Packet, with dates from 9Th to
18th February inclusive, have been received ut the
New York Express office.
The immigration to Buenos Ayres for the past
year, the Packet states, was 1880, principally
men in the prime of life. The editor says in his
monthly retrospect:
produce is scarce and in good demand. The
real cause of this temporary scarcity 10 not so
much deficiency in the average supply, as an un-
precedented activity in the despatch of produce,
pecially during the past month.
"Take, for example, OK and COW hides, our great
staple article. In the month Of January last alone
we despatched 1888 800. number that exceeds the
general average Of the twelve months of 1850 by
upwards of 80 900, and even the highest month of
that year by more than sc, 900 hides
"There can be nothing very strange in the ad-
mitted fact, that hides were rather scarce on the
first of this month, after enormous shipment in
infinitely satisfactory, that, despite large
supply already forwarded, the demand is still
brisk, and former prices buoyant.'
The Packet expresses some apprehension In view
of the manifest spread of French Socialism" in
South America, and particularly in Chilli The
editor remarks:
.'In the teeming population of ermany and TIA
ly, with vast numbers sunk in hopeless ignorance
and helpless indulgence, where the extremes of pow
crty and luxury are in daily and tantalzing con-
trast it is little to wonder at that the seductive doc
trnos ofSocialism should have found eager listeners
and easy converts.

principles, we would hardly fancy the possibility

germinate in the virgin soil of America; and yet
