We have received. of late, several copies of the
Harrisburg Keystone, paper which processes to be
Democratic, but which appears to be almost exclu-
sive!y devoted to abuse OF the Hon. James Buchan-
an. We shall put no such sheet upon our exchange
list, and do not wish receive it even OCCASION
ally. Mr. Buchanan is the common property of the
people of the United States, and his character is
especially dear to the Southern people. We consid-
er his revilers in Pennsylvania false the best
teress and fame of their State, and we can hold no
fellowship with them. Cease vipers, you bite a

The Greensborough Patriot says it hopes to see
Mr.. Stanly "agan rewarded for his courage and his
sacrifices - by reelection to Congress. That
never be. MIR. Stanly must look, for future " re-
wards, - beyond the people of his District This
Freesoil Administration may do something for him
after his defeat. We cannot tell. 1t may, and it
may not. Mr.. Stanly works very freely for it, and
there is such thing, the Patriot knows, of ri.
ding free horse 10 death.''
About the only objection, presume, TO Wing
appointments to Office is the shorness of their dura-
tion. Mr.. Stanly doubt looks TO this fact, and
feels it sensibly in his calculations.

We have been waiting to receive copy Of
the enlarged Erpress, to say word or two on
our own account of its appearance and its mer-
its. AS the evening edition, however, is the
only one that has yet found its way to our ia
BILE, we copy paragraph from the New York
Mirror, which we take great pleasure in en-
dorsing. We may be permitted to add that
there is no man in Congress who has won more
reputation as debater and as a statesman in
single term than Mr.. JAMES BRooKs.
"ENLAnaEMENT OF THE 'ExpnEss. The New
York Morning Express came out on Saturday con-
siderably enlarged, columns having been
added to its former size. It also appears in new
and very beautiful dress, and altogether presents
highly fourishing appearance, alike gratifying to
its talented and entcrprising proprietors and its
very numerous subscribers. There are probably
not to be found in the Union two more industrious
and enterprising men than the brothers Brooks;
and the course Mr.. James Brooks has pursued
since he first consented to represent the inter-
ests of the city of New York in the Legisa-
ture, and subsequently in Congress, and the I'M
firing energy with which he has ever devoted him
self to his duties, have rendered him emncntIy
and deservedly popular, and made his journal
pensablc to the great majority of his fcow-ctizens
We are pleased to see the present evidence of its
popularity as such proofs of p lic appreciation
the most gratifying, for they are the moot sub
stantial an editor can receive"

'Thc Donna Maria ii. was teak built ship,
about forty yenrs old, strong, and capable of much

grief and pain for that of nearly the whole Of her

the explosion, amongst whom were her COM

which it was possible to give at such conjuncture.
At imminent risk, and'whilst explosions of small

most ably and faithfully represented his dis

The message is well-considered document, in
statesman-likc. style, eyincing very clearly the
character Of its author-a prudent, industrious,
conscientious, and pacific man. Its tone upon the
rights of the South, as determined by law, is as
good as could be desired. On the doctrinal points
Of difference between Wings and Democrats, of
course the President speaks as Wing; this was to
be expected. But there ia tone of moderation and
conscientousness, a freedom from ultra partisan
ship pervading the document, highly praiseworthy
We like his remarks upon appointments.
1t is fortunate for US that we find in Mr.. Fill
more better Executive than the South had a right
to anticipate. We are truly glad
that his frmness has proved equal to the emergcn-
cy, and that he has cherished that true patriotism
which ecorned to make common cause with fanati-
cal excess, because it might be popular. II is not
to be denied that, had the Administration sided
with the Free-soers, its weight for evil would have
been great, and would undoubtedly have precipi-
tated an immediate revolutionary severance of the
Union. We scorn the humbug cant about "peace-
able secession" for there can be no such thing.
Nosuch alternative has been provided for in the
Constitution. There is not line word to indi-
cate it. It is fortunate for us all
TIT the Almighty has chosen to avert once more
the evil doom which rash and bad men were fast
urging us toward. In humble acknowledgment of
it we may all adopt the beautiful Thanksgiving of
Mr.. Fillmore.

IMPORTANT TO AFRICAN CoLoNIzATIoN.--Ala largo
delegation from the American Colonization Society
this morning waited upon the Hon. Mr.. Webster,
Secretary OF State, urging the recognition of the
Liberan republic by our Government. Ono strong
ground presented was, the advantage that would
resultst commerce. II is ascertained that Eng
land alone now carries a trade with Africa that
amounts TO no less than five millions sterling or
about 1926, 900 every year. We should share
more Of it than we do.
Mr.. Webster received the gentlemen in the kind
cat manner at the Department Of State, and cx
pressed his pleasure at their calling his attention
the important subject. He Expressed favorable
opinion of the proposal, with Willingness to advo
cate it, as far the best interests of the United
States would permit. He recommended an inter-
view with the President, by whom the delegation
were most courtcously received. The President
assured them of his interest in the great scheme OF
African colonization, and his disposition to pro-
mote is-plans, as far as his public duty would per
nit. This is cheering news to the real friends of
the black man.

SATURDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 8. 1851.

"The series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me as 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

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
: istraton Of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise inca
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
8 mutual dependence and connection, they formed
system of compromise the most conciiatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
8 tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
: opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience SHOULD de-
monstrate the necessity of further Legislation tc
9 guard against evasion or abuse That opinion, &C
{ far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this; the security
the Constitution requires this and every consde-
: ration of the public good demands this. If the
: Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message, it does not expect to star I'd at ALL

The Union.
The Charleston Mercury says:

The Charleston Mercury says:
ss,The Union cannot be saved; il ia not worth
the saving, though it could be done by turning on
ones heel. It is confederacy of sections not Of
States their bonds of affection all burnt away
and the passions that have swept this consuming
course now form an impossible gulf between them
No earthly power can save this Confederacy from
dissolution
In commenting on the above paragraph, the
Standard, Democratic newspaper printed in
GAINESVILLE, Texas, observes:
"We have heard the sentiment expressed in
this echoed by but one individual in all this
region of country, and zoe doubt whcthcr in
the ,chole population Of Ienas one hundred
men can be found ,cho sympathi@e ,cith it.
The Union will certainly be sundered if the
: North violates the late compromise, but in all
our land we are proud to say that there are
few who would not sorrow to see it divided.
1t would be one of those great calamities,
grief for which would be a necessary out
pouring of all hearts that are noble, and all
minds that are rejecting"
The same journal says of the second Nash
vile convention that the day will come, and
shortly, when to have been member of it, ex-
cept for opposition to its proceedings, will carry
precisely the same odium with it that the name
of Glory" did, after the Revolution of '76.
Sentiments of this kind from Democratic
journal in Texas must shock the Secessionists
and Disunionists. tits clear enough that Texas
is. not prepared to follow in the footsteps Of
South Carolina.
