plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all

: 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
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting g
6 subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections. yet, in their
. mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
. a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
9 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 to
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 Of
the Constitution requires this; and every conside-
ration 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 "
