THE REPUBLIC.
WASHINGTON:
MONDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 20, 1851.

"The series Of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me "a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-of the danger
Gus and exciting subjects which they embraced +"
% By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
US, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
10 rest upon. And the occasion, trust, will JUS
tfy me IN EXPORTING MY coUNTRYMEN TO RALLY
upon AND MAINTAIN THAT GROUND as the best, if
not the only means Of restoring peace and quiet
to the country, and maintaining inyioate the in.
tegrity of the Union"
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
istration of the Government, in regard TO what
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 imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, 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 ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further Legislation TO
guard against evasion abuse That opinion,
50 far | know, remains entirely unchanged,
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively.
The peace of the country requires this; the Sc
curiy 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, it does not expect to
stand at all."-DANIEL WEBsTER's Letter 10 The
Union Meeting at Wesfchesfer.

MIR. FILLMORE in Georgia.

The Mobile Register says that " Unlonism

but another name for Fillmoreism." We are
glad to hear it. Georgia must then be a very

Mississippi, Louisiana, and, indeed, every
Southern State except South Carolina. Ac-

The - Disease In Charlotte.

On Tuesday, we were favored with letter from
friend resident in Charlotte the focus of the small
pox excitement which is spreading so rapidly
throughout the Western part of this State. 1t gives
quite striking picture of the effects of the small
pox panic upon the business of that thriving village
He says -" In Charlotte, desolation reigns Her
streets, usually crowded with wagons and carria
ges presenting enlivening aspect of business and
pleasure, are deserted. Occasionally citizen,
who cannot get away, may be moving himself
along the street. but with Speculation in his eye.
Now and then group of half dozen may get con-
gregated in a sunny spot, and make an effort to get
up smile laugh, and, after startling all within
hearing by their first attempt at mirth, suddenly
silent, and stink away if apprehensive of being
charged with something sacrlegious, and return to
their daily vocation of stck-whittling with
dable energy. Although the pestilence has been
among us for the last four months, we have been
mercfuly spared the mortality which would seem to
be necessarily attendant upon disease so malignant
and loathsome We are, in business matters, eff
fcctually 'sewed up though the sight of would
communicate plague. The physicians have moi

paid to vaccination, the chances of catching the dis
ease would not be in thousand; and yet, will
this fact before their eyes, whole communities sue
themselves to be frightened out of their propriety b.

that we have never seen mad dog, nor during on

While the legislature of New York is asked to pass
virtual act of Qualification of the fugitive slave law,
the patriotic legislature of Pennsylvania is consider
ing the propriety and incumbent duty of repeating
her laws, heretofore enacted throwing Instructions
in the way of securing fugitive slaves. An act for
the repeal of those laws was introduced the Sc
cond day after its organization, and it is thought it
will pass We hope so. 1t would exert most sal
utary influence at the present time.
It is due to truth also to add that similar mo-
ton has been made in Pennsylvania to the one made
in New York but there is not the siightes prospect
! of its success.
