company, and expressed himself highly graft
fled by this mark of respect and civility. He
recognised many of those around him as having
served in the war with Mexico. He spoke Of
the patriotic aacrty which Louisiana had al
ways displayed in military affairs, ever since
her admission into the Union; spoke Of the war
of 1912, and of the great services Of General
JACKSON on the battlefield below the city.
The speaker then alluded to the services
which the State rendered in the recent war,
of the encouragement which the citizens of
the city gave to those who were going
into it, and to the enthusiastic reception
with which she welcomed the return
ed soldiers; indeed, said the General, she
did the honors of hospitality for the whole
country. General ScoTT alluded to the prepa-
rations which had been made in this city for
giving him cordial welcome on his return
from the war but he said that it was then out
of his power to be present, as he passed home
by another route He now rendered his thanks
for that honor as well as for the present civity.
After a few more happy remarks and compli
mentary illusions, the General concluded with
assuring his visitors that he felt highly graft
fed by their polite attention.
few minutes afterwards some casual re-
mark was made respecting the sword that Gen
eral ScOTT wore by his side, when the General
said that before leaving Washington he had Sc
lected this sword from many others to wear
on his trip, as it was present from the State
of Louisiana. He then unbuckled it and pass
ed it around among the officers, payfully re-
marking, 81 disarm myself, gentlemen, in your
presence. because | know that | am among
friends" After some general and lively con-
versation, the Louisiana officers left, highly
pleased with their visit and the cordial recep-
ton they had met with.

His Excelloncy PRECEDENT Ffllnore


Since our last issue we have received an
other volume of the Congressional Appendix,
under the frank of President FILLMORE. These
books are quite an accession to our library,
and we sincerely thank the President for
them. 1t is kind in him, and in character,
as we understand, with his whole life, which
has been one of kindness, benevolence, and
business. Always equal to any position, and
never above its duties; never shrinking from
any responsibility, and always characterized by
virtue, patriotism, and good sense. Judge But
Ter felt it to be his duty not long since, in the
Senate of the United States, to pay President
FILLMORE compliment for his virtues. The
whole South and the entire Union are under
deep and lasting obligations to the President
for his decision, firmness. and patriotism in en-
forcing the laws of the Federal Government.
1t was confidently predicted in South Carolina
that the Fugitive Slave law would not be, could
not be, enforced by the Executive. But it has
been done quietly and peaceably in the city of
Boston; and, in all probability, in the language
of Mr.. TooMBs last winter, 1.-THE Free sellers
will offer as little resistance in twelve months
to the Fugitive Slave law as they do to the law
imposing duties on imports"

From the Louispille Journal.
President FILLMORE.

The Louisville Democrat calls President
FILLMORE 'timid man." 1t is that papers
vocation to apply hard names to its political
opponents and to bestow the most fulsome fiat
teries upon its friends.
If President FILLMORE is timid man, we
think that it would at least be very difficult to
show when, where, and how he manifested his
timidity. We know not of any bold duty
that he has shrunk for one instant from per-
forming. He unhesitatingly told Texas that
she should not overrun New Mexico without
encountering the military power Of the United
States, though all the LocOfoco papers were
proclaiming that, if he took such position,
the most awful civil war ever heard of in
the annals of blood would be. the almost in
evitable consequence. He unhesitatingly and
quietly gave orders for the taking Of the ter
rible Governor of Mississippi to New Orleans
for trial, although the said Governor and all
his organs and friends were giving out that,
in the event of such an unparalleled outrage
upon the sovereignty of tho State of Missis-
sippi, the great river which bears her name
"woud run all bloody to the ocean," He
quietly gave orders that the military force Of
the United States should, if necessary, be used
for the execution of the Fugitive Slave law,
although he was assured by the hosts of north
ern abolitionists and southern disunionists that
the law could never be enforced, and that any
attempt on his part to secure It's enforcement
would result not only in certain failure, but in
his own inevitable and eternal prostration in all
the non slaveholding States. He quietly issued
his proclamation, notifying the Cuba invaders
that he would not permit them to proceed in
the accomplishment of their atrocious designs,
although such papers as the Louisville Demo
crat swear that the popular heart is in the
movement, and that no power OF the Govern
ment can arrest it.
If the editor of the Democrat will point to
some bold official duty, from the performance
of which he supposes President FILLMORE to
have been deferred in times past, or to be de-
tered now by cowardice, perhaps we shall feel
obliged to him. Our own opinion and the opin-
ion of the nation is, that neither President
WAsHrNcToN, nor President JACKSON, nor Pres
ident TAYLOR, nor any other President that
ever stood at the head Of our Republic, was
calmer, firmer, holder, more resoute, and more
energetic in the performance Of what he be-
lieved to be his duty than President FILLMORE.
We presume the Louisville Democrat thinks
President FILLMORE timiG because he does not,
in accordance with the suggestions of that pa
per, proclaim to the world that this country, in
defiance of her own laws and the laws of ma
tons, will permit her people to arm and organ
ize when and how they please upon her soil for
the invasion Of foreign and friendly powers, and
that the people of the United States never
have recognised, and never will recognise, any
law, human or Divine, except the law OF expe-
diency and destiny, the law Of robbers and pi-
rates.

together the thing; and that the application of
such language to man who occupied SO large
space in the history Of the age, and in the

[PREsIpENr FILLmoRE's MESSAGE.
..The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and tho 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-
sures of last session. That opinion is that those
measures should be regarded in principle
a 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
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
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 abuse. That opinion 30
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
ofthe message, it does not expect to stand at ALL"

Our candidates have derived very great adyan-
tage in the public discussions, by the confessions
of our opponents, that the compromise was not a
fair adjustment of the slavery controversy not
one of the Submissionists dare to defend it upon
its merits, or to say before an audience in this
County, that it was Constitutional equitable and
Just to the South. Admitting its injustice, they
appeal in vain, to the people to support men who
propose plightng the honor and public faith of
Mississippi never to ask or favor any modification
amendment or repeal of such iniquitous measures.
The voters of Lowndes County will never listen to
the exhortations, that instead of demanding their
equal rights under the Constitution, they must
take the adjustment, because 1t Is the best they can
get from the North. This is craven sentiment
which never originated in the heart of Southern
Republican, and finds no response in the bosom of
a true Mississippian. When men are subiugated,

querors Slaves take the best they can get from
