"The Presidcnfs 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-
sures 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 mperfectons, yet, in their
. mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
System of compromise the most conciliatory
and best 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 ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion 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 Sc
curity of the Constitution requires this and every
confederation of the public good demands this.
IF the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, it does not expect to
stand at all"-DANIEL WEBsTER's Letter TO the
Union Meeting at Yesfchester.

PUBLISHED IN RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.,
At the loac price Of ONE DOLLAR per aan,t,a,
I S the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the

This paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter Of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry. 'l
HUGH X. PLEAsANTs, Principal Editor.
1t is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern--its conductors
are Virginians, and they hope to merit and re-
ceiye the encouragement of their fellow-ctzens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and as far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been insted into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period Of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible

ished requires that the subscription be paid al

that body, +" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension Of the Capitol, and to al
low premium Of five. hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on

architectural taste and Judgment, but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building aH to preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete.
Although but one plan can be adopted, the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right TO form such
plan by the adoption of parts Of different plans
submitted should such course be found necessarp in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according

be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted. according to the relative
! importance and merit Of each part adopted.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
Under this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biograph-
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
lustrous in the service OF the country. Every por
ton Of the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF The Re
public. f
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment: of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recomme ndation His dagucrieotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art, glowing with the soul
OF the living countenance.
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % chcs, made
expressly for this purpose.
| This work has nothing sectional in its scope it
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted whose talents

fame throue bout tho nation Each of the great de-
partments of life Will have its representatives Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory of
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend Of our glorious Union, will respond to our APP
