THE REPUBLIC.
WASHINGTON:
MONDAY MORNING. JULY IS. 1851.

"Theseries of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me a settlement, in principle
and substances final settlement-ofthe dang
GUS and exciting subjects which they embraced"
'By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundess agitation thatsurrounded
us, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon And the occasion, trust, will JUS
tify me ExHoRrINe MY couNrRYMEN TO RALLY
UPON AND MAINTAIN THAT GROUND as the best, il
not the only means, of restoringpeace and quiet
to the country, and maintaining inviolate the in
'tegrity ofthe Union.''
tPREsIDENT FILLNoRE's MESSAGE.
SsThe 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
a hnalsettlement of the dangerous and exoiting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
neutrality-suspicious. and connection, they formed
: q 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 ad-
shered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation tc
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion, sc
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requires this the security o.
the Constitution requires this; and everyconsde-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does expect to- stand at ALL

More Neutrality-suspicious.;

The Union, indignant at our exposure of its
indifference to the opinions of the Democratic
candidate for the office of Governor of Pennsvl-
vania, retorts by addressing to us certain que
ries as to the opinions of Mr.. FILLMORE. AS
that gentleman is not before the public as a
candidate for office, we can see no particular
obligation upon him to respond. If he were,
we should insist that he reply "himself.''
Having just condemned this practice in an
other, we have no inclination to make Penn
sylvaniGn of ourselves by acting as proxy.

ner's condition, and whether there was any proba-
bllity OF his being able to attend during the day
The bailif returned and reported tsN continued
illness Of Mr.. Turner, and that he had made an
effort to to tho room, but was unable to
do So
After consultation, the court by consent of all
