As this world is made up Of balances, COM
pensation, and compromises, il may serve to al
leviate the injury Of a good many Of the real
and fancied wrongs that we suffer from, to bear
in mind that there is nothing in the material or
moral world which has not an opposite. Thus,
for instance, good deal Of the chatting and
discomforting annoyances felt by our friends Of
the South at the fanatical spirit Of the North
nigh, be mItigated by remembering that there
are fanatics at the South, of an opposite com
Plexion, who are just as annoying and discom-
NDriing TO our friends Of the North. There is

Reception Of the President.

II appears to be the intention of the city au-
thorities north of us to make suitable arrange
ments to give President FILLMORE and his
Cabinet officers such reception, on their way
to the opening Of the Erie railroad, as their po-
sition would seem to require. We think this
is all right, and we trust that the authorities of
Baltimore will not be backward in adopting
such measures as shall, in their development,
manifest cordial greeting to the President of
the United States on Monday next. Let all
partisan feelings and prejudices be buried, and
let there be such general expression of respect
shown him as shall tell well for Baltimore
when her history shall become public to future
generations.
Since writing the above, we are pleased to
learn that his honor Mayor JEROME intends to
call the attention of the council TO the subject
this afternoon, and we cannot but think they
will promptly act in the matter, and not be be-
hind other cities in paying proper respect to
those in high places in our happy Union, when
such an opportune occasion offers.

The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1851-05-10

The telegraph of yesterday announced that
President FILLMoRE and several members of his
Cabinet had accepted invitations to be present
at the celebration of the New York and Erie
Railroad, and that they intended to leave
Washington in few days for that purpose
We do not know whether the information thus
communicated by the wires may be relied on,
but the statement seems highly probable one,
and we are inclined 70 regard it as fact.
In journeying from Washington to New York
the President must necessarily pass through
this city, where he will undoubtedly be received
and welcomed with the highest honors and the
most cordial enthusiasm The authorities, both
civil and military, will, of course, see that the
public ceremonies shall be such as it becomes
great city TO offer, and the Chief Magistrate of
the Republic to accepts and the people will take
care to express, in suitable forms, their earnest
respect and attachment. Nor will the demon
stration Of popular affection be confined to any
party; for men Of all sects and opinions will
cheerfully unite in rendering tributes of applause
70 one who has shown himself SO faithful and
jealous in maintaining their best interests.
The present is n juncture when the we'll
affected should rally to the support Of the con-
stituted authorities with entire unanimity. In
various quarters disobedience to the laws has
manifested ITSELF in some, officers have been
torclOly deferred from the discharge OF their
duties, and in others public sentiment has been
invoked to an open and violent resistance of
constitutional obligations. Predatory bands
have been organized in our midst to invade the
territories Of friendly power, and, under pre-
tencs Of assisting in revolution, probably never
designed and certainly never commenced, to
indulge in lawless plumber and rapine. Nor is
this the worst. A member Of the Confederacy,
upon the merest pretexts, has been almost
placed by number of her citizens in an atli-
ludeof hostility to the General Government, and
menaces the widest treason. At such time,
we say, good men Of all parties must stand firmly
by those to whom the administration Of affairs
has been committed, and give to them vigo-
rous support. And at such time, also, it is
consolation to know that the President of the
United States, and the eminent advisers by
whom he is surrounded, are men who will
shrink from the performance of no duty, who
will meet all exigencies which may arise with
frmness and wisdom. who will maintain the
Constitution in all its integrity--who, in a
word, in all their acts will justify the high con-
.Rdence which is SO universally reposed in Them

WASHINGTON:

..rbe series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-of the danger

the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded

not the only means, of restoring peace and quiet
TO the country, and maintaining inviolate the in
tegrity Of the Union.'
lPREsIDENT FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE Presidents message, at the opening 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
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 best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
'opinions, and that therefore they should be adj
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, so
far as l 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
of the message, it does not expect to stand at a.'

stitution, as well as the compromises Of nature,
are most admirably adapted to make perfect
system Of compensation between the North and
the South, if they were only properly attended
to. But both sides are too apt 10 forge, that
there is more than one side TO every question,
and imagine that they monopolize all the suf
fering.

Reception or tho President.

II having been ascertained that the President
will probably reach this city on Monday next,
on his way to the celebration Of the completion
of the New York and Erie Railroad, Mayor
GILpIN addressed communication to the coun-
ellis, suggesting the propriety Of appointing a
committee to adopt suitable measures of recep-
ton. This was accordingly done at the meet
ing last evening and we have no doubt such
course will be determined upon as viii be
equally creditable TO the city and their distin-
guished visitor.--P Philadelphia NJ .American.

We learn by telegraph that the Convention

We see that some the Richmond pa

whether Virginia shall abandon her time
honored custom requiring the candidates
Tor all Executive and Legislative offices,
within the gift of the people, to appear up
on the stump and tell their fcllow-citizens
what their opinions may be.
We are decidedly in favor of extending
the operation of this custom to our candi-
dates for the office of Governor. We be-
licve that it will result in much good. 1t
