 We have alwsys belissee ia the truth ef the old Adsgs that "au ounce of prseea'iaa is worth Poand of eart." but ibis does got to be ihe policy of Prss ident Fillmore. In his late message upon tas rs-assemblng of Congress, instead ef sPesking ef the Fugitive Slave Act . law of the land which aasl be Ubeyed. and 10 which ehedieuee would ee eoefcsd by the exercise of executive authority he tsDsly stated ,l,a, it was repagaant to the higher law feelings of portion of the eonfedc- raey. that pronp, Obcdiescs could noi be expce sd and advised the people ef tbe Soalh to rat udtl this hostility Of the "weoly Heads" of New York and M.ssachussit had bscoms less vio!sat. The South has waited. Her freqnsUt ebu!iIions ot just resentment al the oatrsgss committed and asieu'2- ted have given place to sincere professions oi as- tachmert to she Union. and earnest endeayors to protect the constitution from further viotation She has aceep ed, aud is wiling to abide hy the eendi- lions of the smuesSy. the so-calied Compromise, unjust and hnmI,iating as they were She has soiitsd aud wha, is the eonseqaenee' The Fsgi- tive Slave Law has never once been enforced ex. cepi in hurried and secrl mianef. or at the i'm m neut hazard oG life 10 tie claimant oi he fagiv-, ss well as 10 ,hs officers who have endeavored to put |. isio execution. TEe negroes and "negroPhi- lists of Inc Free States ibe lurioasY fanatic. The insane 'hgher a~'' fsclien, in isef weak aud des- picaL.e us party has been emboldeaed hy this aci, creative appreciation uu;l its nlyrnilons have openly sei al dessace jaagc and jury, laws and m~rslssls foFcibly taken Pessession of the court room itself aud lriaa phaniIy carried cG tho prise ner from ihe very b'F of justice Thus the execu- ton of Inc Fugi i've Slave Act. wi,h which the "sags of AshianJ' ar,fa'Iy tempered the bitterness of tho batch of Compromise measures 10 make it psla,stls is the South, has become altogether im- practicable.
 We do not Raw assert that this law would have bsea better observed CT more easily exrcuted fl ths Psesidsat in his mesa. .e had. in firm aad digni- fed mahaer. declared il ths daiy and intention of the Eeveeatiys to enforce i.s provisions. This must now ever remain simple question of oPin- on bat, it is vel known, that at taat time ihe ob- servaaes Of the act was considered even by the most ultra Northern men ia Copgr'ss, as necessary To ,he preservation sf the Uaion. and il was ,.n- tered 10 tae Sosth 10 s3aee her assent 70 the other and more objectionable measures Of the coInpro- mise l, is known too. that within few montl . ottsf The passage ot these measures, ths mfssss which coEs'iIatsd ihe great Free Soil party. and rendefed i. 90 formidable. had resolved themselves into their original elements leaving she soa SzTss. the fanatics aud higher law men, from whom alone 2 desperate resistance was 10 be exPeced in most miserable minority IL feasonab!e to supPosc that al such time the expressed deserminStion of ihe Pfssiden, seriously and vigorously 10 enforce the i law would have been available.
 At this s,sgs of tho game. proclamation like the above. which government puppets call '' sobls and manly" is nothing more than pOmPocs hambug. ] for truly suppose lhat in a community where such deeds are thus oPenly Perps,Taied, ihe real actors bs arrested and beagAt to pam 1 ishrneat.
 IL is charitable 10 the common ssnss of Mr. Fiji. more, to eonsiler the proclamation only trap for popular favsr ia the South by making feiaI of enforcing llae laws of ihe country, or to attribute his to tlsss weak aessI and vseiIa.on which always ehAraG,e iI~s beth individuals and parties who eRdssvor to sal with the popular breezs with. out any fixed principles te guide them.
