and also for the appointment Of Delegates to

Electors ofPresident and Vice President, shall

"We are pleased to see that the preference
expressed for Mr.. Fillmore as the Wing candi-
date for President is received with great cordi-

any citizen of the State. Where this is the

THE PRESIDENCY

ions relative to the distinguished mel, tof the Whie
party, alludes, like us, only to WEBSTER and Fill.

And in case that the President declines to run fol-
asscond term, then the Be- (which we are sure is
the sentiment Of the Wings Of Louisiana and Of
the whole South and Vest at once settles upon
Mr.. WEssrER q the proud and noble champion Of
the Wings Of the Union in the approaching con-
test for the Presidency.

MIR. Fourrier's Musical EXAMINES

OAV44e
A large and fashionable audience assembled a
the Courthouse last Monday evening, by tn
invitation of Mr.. FOURIER, through his pupils
to listen to their musical exercises and Judge O
their attainments: A very lengthy programme
had been prepared, of a selection of various de
scriptions Of music, numbering thirty-two pieces
the performance of which kept the audience in al
ecstacy of delight to a late hour of the night, i
their loud and repeated plaudits gave evidence o
their feelings:
We are no musical critic-the harmony whicl
would arouse our feelings, and kindle within us
glow of excitement and enthusiasm, would proba
bly, have but little of such tendencies in the breast
of refined and cultivated amateurs-but, in this in
serting, that the above occasion was not only rict
in the real sweetness and purity of music and song
but was in reality unlike any musical treat, mo-
to mention examination" which was ever Offered
in Plaauemine. Many such exhibitions have we
attended, but never one which equalled Mr.. Four.
R1ER's pupils in the harmony and perfectness Of
their performances, and in the universal enthusi-
asm created.
Several of the musical pieces were instrumental
alone and we may be permitted to say (f for
nothing else to show what description of taste we
have) that of the compositions of this nature, the
Marche des Patriotes, composed by Mr.. FOURIER
and performed by him and a lady of our town, ILL
cited our highest admiration. And of the songs,
Robin .AdaT was, to our taste, ~assuredly the sweet
est and most exquisite of them all, and was certain
ly entitled to the applause which was SO heartily
and enthusiastically given it. 1t is, however, un-
fair perhaps to make any single selection as deserv-
ing special notice when all the pieces were so ably
and pleasingly executed. Notwithstanding, if we
lin which Mr.. FOURIER and all his pupils were
engaged as being exceedingly beautiful, we will
only be expressing what was in the hearts of all
who heard it.
Mr.. FOURIER, by this examination of vocal
and instrumental music-the voices of our fair
ones rivalling the melody Of the piano and the
fute-has won for himself in this community a
high reputation as a musician and a teacher of mu-
sic, and we are confident that his talents and abii-
tiles will be duly appreciated in this vicinity.
Not the least interesting feature connected with
this examination, was the fact, that MI. F. is total
blind-and to see him assert and read his music,
lake to pieces, tune and readjust his piano, was in
Iced interesting and remarkable, and is deserving
If high appreciation.
Entertaining no doubt that the pupils of Mr..
FOURIER will rapidly increase from this forward,
We shall entertain pleasing anticipations of his Sc
:ond examination, when he will assuledly have a
school which will justly reward him for his merit,
md for the talent and industry which he has hith-
,rto evinced in his profession. ".t5 t .7g

involved the existence ofthe constitution which

involved the existence ofthe constitution which
is the supreme law of the land. The refusal to
execute its provisions is aimed not so much at
the law as at the constitution, and contemplates
its nuIli6caton and the obstruction Of republi.
can institutions.
The message in conclusion, recommends in
earnest language, the observance and p~reserva.
ton of the compromise measure as a final set.
Element in principle as we'll as in substance, OF
the dangerous agitation Of the subject ofslave-
nv. The whole tone of the message is emf
nently patriotic and national, regarding the in
terest Of the whole country. The message
concludes as follows:
In my last annual message, I stated that I
considered the series of measures which had
been adopted at the previous session of Con-
gress in reference to the agitation growing out
of the territorial and slavery questions, as a
final settlement, in principle and substance, of
the dangerous and exciting subjects which they
embrace and | recommend adherence 10 the adj
iustment established by these measures, until
time and experience should demonstrate the
necessity of further legislation to guard against
evasion or abuse. was not induced to- make
this recommendation because | thought those
measures perfect; for no human legislation can
be perfect. Wide difference and jarring opin-
ions can only be reconciled by yielding some
thing on all sides, and this result had been rea-
ched after an angry conflict of many months,
in which one part of the country was arrayed
against another, and violent c%onvulsions SEEM
ed to be imminent.
Looking at the interest of the whole country
| felt it my dnty to seize upon this compromise
as the best that could be obtained amid con-
Aicting interests, and to insist upon it ASA final
settlement, to be adhered to by all who value
the peace and welfare ofthe country. A year
has now elapsed since that recommendation
was made, and to that recommendation | till
and l congratulate you and the country
upon the general acquiescence in these meas
ures of peace which have been established in all
parts of the Republic.
And not only is there this general acqui-
escence in these measures, but the spirit of c
which has been manifested in regard
% them in all parts ofthe country, has removed
doubts and uncertainties in the minds of thous-
of good men concerning the durability of
our popular institutions, and has given renewed
assurance that our liberty and our Union may
'ubsist together for the benefit of this and all
succeeding generations.
