SABLE NAPoLEoN.-A letter from Hayti, of
August 4, written by officer of the French war
steamer Mian states that his sable majesty, Faus-
tin l., who initiates Napoleon in every thing, is
most anxious to be crowned with all the ceremo
MES of the Roman Catholic church. He recently
sent ambassador to Rome to beg for bishop, If
it were only in partibus, to consecrate him an
emperor by the grace of God and the holy

ner in which Faustin declared himself the head of
the Haytien church, has fatty refused. But the
emperor does not despair; and he has spent the
enormous of 100000 sterling in buying a
throne. praying desk, crosses, velvet, and silk.
He has also built throne room with sumptuous de-
corations. He lately made tour of his dominions,
followed by escort of eight thousand men, whose
appearance upon the frontier Of the Spanish part
of the island caused panic in the minds OF the in
habitants, who expected invasion of the Do

not will continue to adhere; nor has he at any
time authorized suggestions, or encouraged ex-
pectations, contemplating a different course.
He deems that the selection of Presidential
candidate should be left to the unbiased action
of the WING party in convention, that their
natural and enforced expression may indicate the
individual most acceptable to the great body of
the Wines, and most likely to command the
suffrages of the majority.
Mr. FmLMoRE's purpose has been, by dis
interested, national, and conservative course, to
commend WING Administration to the favor
of the American people. Beyond this he has
entered into no covenants, embarrassed himself
by no committals, and seeks no reward but the
support of his policy by the country he has en-
deavored faithfully to serve.

The Presidency.


We place the name of WILLARD FILLMORE
at the head of our columns this week as our
choice for President in '52. Our reasons for
doing so are
First that we believe him to be the strongest
man in our party for that office; and
Second, that there is more deserving Of
the office or more competent to fill it.
He has administered the laws of the country
without Partially. stood by the Constitution nobly
aud has strong hold upon the affections Of peo-
pie, without distinction Of party, both North and
South.
We believe that he is the choice OF a majority of
the people of Iowa, and would carry stronger
vote Tor President than any man we know of that
is now before the people for that office.
We know of no other way to ascertain the wishes
of the people, when National Convention meets,
than to Judge from the feeling manifested by the
papers, located they in all parts of the Union
Therefore we believe it right that we should speak
out and declare our choice; though in doing VIC
differ from the opinion of the former editor, who
strongly in favor of Mr. FILLMORE for the Pres
idency but did not believe it practicable to hoist
the name of any man until he nominated by a
National Convention.
There are other men whom we could cheerfully
support for the Presidency that arc now before the
l.
Others our first choice, and desire TO do battle in
the campaign of 80 with MILLARD FILLMORE as our
standard bearer If the nation should, through
their representatives in the National Convention,
choose another, will abide its decision, and do
battle for the nations choice.
For the interest Of the West, Mr. FILLMORE is
the man above all others. lie is staunch friend
to Internal improvements, and would, were he not
thwarted by Locofocd majority in Congress, have
given the West fair proportion of the revenues
derived from the public lands to improve her lake,
harbors, and rivers, and render the navigation Of
them less dangerous to both life and property.
He is Union man, and as such has endeared
himself to millions of his countrymen, and by
them-were he brought before them-would be
triumphantly returned to the elevated position
which he now fills in such manner to entirely
disarm his enemies of their strongest weapon-re-
proach.

Many of the Democratic papers, manifcstly
alarmed at the growing popularity of President
FILLMORE and his patriotic and conservative Adj
ministration, constantly cndeavoring TO de-
priye him of the confidence of southern Wings.
They say he ia not sound upon the slavery qucs-
ton, and, proof of their assertions, copy his
Buffalo letter. This is the "udmatum," the "fnal
conclusion" Of all their arguments. Now, APP
prehend President Fillmore and his ACTS too
well known by men of all parties to be thus mis-
represented with success. His course upon the
slavery question and the Compromise has been
fixed his "platiorm" laid down, and is manifest
by what he has done. The language of his mes
sage upon the subject il clear and explicit which the

ways conducted by southern men, said deserUed 10

promises that would restrict the President to any
partial course of policy, and make him more the
President Of a section of country, a faction of
the people, than the President Of the whole
try, and the whole people, he is. President
Fillmore knows his duty, and in spite Of the
charges brought against him at the North or the
South. has fully discharged his duty, and enjoys

[PREsIDENT 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.
stration 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 imperfections, 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 aud experience should de-
monstrate the necessity OF further Legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion,
30 far as | know, remains entirely unchanged,
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively.

curty of the Constitution requires this and every

principles of the message, il does not expect to
