From the Pellotrsville (Va.) Democrat.
Democracy and Federalism

Already, in view of the coming election, is the
so-called Democratic" press of Virginia teeming
with the usual absurd slang about Democracy
and Federalism for the purpose of keeping up
the receptions which have long been by them prac-
tised upon the people of this Commonwealth. We
would like to have the exclusive Democracy stand
up to an investigation of this subject. We would
like to have them point to one single old school
Democratic measure that is noD in question which
they do not oppose and denounce. We would like
to have them point to any measure that was dis
tinctively supported by the ancient and now obso-
lete party called Federalists which the Wings now
support. We would like to have them show any
thing whatever that identifies the Wing party
with the opposite of Democracy in it's legitimate
sense. But no-their purpose is best served by
keeping up their foul ISLANDERS on the Wing party
and deceiving the ignorant. A high. toned poIiti-
cal investigation is entirely out of their line of bust
Instead Of honorable discussion Of any real
questions at issue between the two parties, they
rely chiefly upon charges which they know to be
fase-charges that the history of the country
proves to any man of common sense to be false
charges that the Wing party are Fedcralists and
opposed to republican principles and the essential
features of our Government. And they have hith-
erto succeeded but too WELL How long will the
people consent thus to be deceived and thus vir-
tualiy disfranchised? How long will they thus
swallow these absurd slandersl Do give docu-
mcntary proof that all the essential measures of
the Wing party were supported by our early De-
mocratic Presidents, we are answered with the
cry that "the Wings are Federalists,' and the
principles Of jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, are
cast by the modern Democracy under foot, Do
we offer any arguments on any question really at
issue, we are met with the knock-down argument,
erich richer, and poor poorer" sc. And thus are
the real issues kept from the consideration OF the
people.

we know that they not only lament more
deeply than words can tell that their misguided
relatives failed to take heed of the warn
ings of the PRESIDENT, but they rebuke and
execrate the men who duped them into def
ance of treaties, statutes, and procamatlons, and
hurried them to an untimely and ignOminlous
fate, in pursuit of the delusons of false glory
and the phantases of higher law. With all
these we sympathze. too deeply, too warmly
sympathize to look with any other feeling than
adherence upon those false teachers who
would rekindle the spirit now happily slumber-
ing, if not extinguished-to rivet chains upon
yet hopeful captives-to carry misery tOyet hap
ply firesides-and to prepare deaths of ignominy
and violence for youths who might otherwise
live the solace and support of kindred who re-
quire their aid-the JOY and pride of friends
the ornament and defence Of their country

'The series Of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by a settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement of the danger
QUE and exciting subjects which they embraced"
- By that adjustment We have been rescued from
the wide and boundlcss agitation that surrounded
us, and have firm, distinct, and legal ground
to rect upon. And the OCCASION trust, will JUS
tify me ~ RxHoRTISo MY couNTRyMEN TO RALLY

tegrity of the Union"
president FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-THE President's 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-
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 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 ard experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further Legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion.
SO far as | know, remains entirely unchanged
and will be acted upon steadily and decisively.
The peace of the country requires thisi the Sc
ourty 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. II does not expect to
stand at all"-DANIEL WEBsrER's Letter TO the
Union Meeting at Wesfehesfer.

Messrs. Little Brown, which be had at less
than one fifth the expense of the original works.
From the Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, ~ we judge, long felt
desidsvatun-a prompt, chap, and comprehensive
series of reports Of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This issunparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
US than our own court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors and all connected with it,
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table Of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much and diligence. The former strikes US as
executed very useful plan, referring not only
to the case and page of the volume but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value Of the work. The publication ia TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price Of 8 10 per annum. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail 10 be
useful to the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal Intellignser.

FURNISHING MAIL LOCKS AND KEYS.

MARCH IA, 1851.
TT BEING DESIRABLE 10 substitute locks and
i keys of some other kind for those now in use foy
the mail service Of the United States, specimen
will be received and considered at the Post Office
Department until the first day Of July next. The
different locks will be submitted to commission
for examination and report. Upon this report,
into for furnishing such locks and keys for four
years, with the right on the part Of the Postmaster
General for the time being TO extend and continue
the contract in force for additional term of four
TO that effect, not than nine nor less than six
months before the termination of the first term OF
four years.
With view of procuring the best lock at the
lowest price, no kind of lock is prescribed a
standard, the Department relying for a selection
on the mechanical skill and ingenuity which fair
competition, now invited, may develop. 1t is, how
ever, proper to state. that lock suitable for the
mail service should possess the following quail
ties, viz; durability, uniformity, lishtness, and
strength.
For the purpose Of displacing simultaneously all
the mail locks and keys now in use, about thirty
thousand new locks and twenty thousand keys
adapted thereto will be required to be furnished BY
the contractor within seven months after the con-
tract shall have been entered into; afterwards the
annual supply will depend on the durability Of the
locks and keys adopted, as we'll the increase oil
the mail service, but it will probably never excecf
thousand of the latter.
No lock will be considered if it b. lile anv al.

or furnish any lock or key similar to those con,
tracted for for any other purpose or use than that 81
