tbs designed to make it equal to any Weekly

tone and sentiment, it is Souihern-its conductors
are Virgnans, and they hope to merit and re-
celve the encouragement of their fellow-citizens.
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprlze, 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
defence OF Southern rights is defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;--that il has been
warm unremIttlng, and as far as their capacity al J.
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 instilled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know II to be impossible.

large per last arrival, we need not fear any

ments of specie to England. The shipments this
week have not been large, though it is expected
they will be heavy the coming week. The receipts

Manssus Gap Railroad Company, we learn, have
thirty milcs of their road in running order,
and much moro will be by the fall months These
important roads, together with the Chesapeake

mercial activity in that place that now exists in
our larger cities. The stock of tho Old Dominion
Bank is nearly all taken, and the prominent sub
scribers are the most influential and wealthy men
of the place.
The stock of the Bank Of Metropolis is in good
demand. and well it may be- for it has shown
its ability to pay eight per cent per annum, and
we think it will shortly declare dividend OF not
less than four per cent.

.sThe series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me a settlement, in principle
aud suhstance-a final ettlement-of the danger
GUS and exciting subjects which they embraced" !"
"By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation thatsurrounded
sus, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will JUS
:. tify me IN KxHoRrIsG MY coUsrRymEN TO RALLY

IPREsIpEsr FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
ssThe Presidents pessage, at the opening ofthe
spresent session OF Congress, expresses fully and
splainly his own and the unanimous opinion oil all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
sistration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mca-
ssures Of last session That opinion is that those
.measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
s'subjects which they embrace; that though they
swere not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connex xon, they formed
sa system oScmnpromise the most conciliatory
land best for the entire country that could be OBJ
stained from conflicting sectional interest and
sopinions, and that therefore they should be ad7
shered to, until time and experience should de-
smonstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, sc
. far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
swiIl be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and every conside-
nation of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at ALL

TIE DEBT OF TExAs.-says the New Orleans
Briiefis Of the Sd instant:
"Mr. Volncy f. Howard. who is now canvass-
ing for his re- election 10 Congress, in speech he
made during the last month at San Antonio, took
occasion TO say that, pending the debate on the
boundary question at the last Of Congress- he then
bad no right to assume, as a representative of
Texas, that the debt would be scaled nor, says
he, 'can II now be asserted with certainty, ms the
subject is still under the control Of the Legisla-
ture.'
1.-The extracts from speeches made by each
Of the two Senators and the two Representa-
lives from Texas show conclusivciy that they at
csst contemplated the payment Of the entire debt.
The idea OF scalsge is a novel one, and was never
suggested unnlafter the consummation Of the con-
tract.v
