THE REPUBLIC.
WASHINGTON:
TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER a, 1851.

..The series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me as a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-of the danger
ous and exciting subjects which they embraced"
By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
us, and have a firm, distinct, and legal ground
10 rest upon. And the occasion, trust Will Jus
tify me rs ExHoaTINe MY coUNTRyaEN TO RALLY
upon AND MAIsrAIN THAT GROUND as the best, II
not the only means Of restoring peace and quiet
9 to the country and maintaining inviolate the in
stegrity of the Union"
IPaEsIDENT FILLMoRE's 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 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 imperfecuons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
system Of compromise the most conciIiatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interests and
sopinions and that therefore they should be adj
bered to, until time ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further Liquidation 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
consideration of the public good demands this.
IF the Administration cannot stand upon the
principles of the message, il does not expect to
stand at all"-DANIEL WEBsrER's Letter TO the
Union Meeting at Wesfchss,er.
