The above petition was not acted upon at the
public meeting, but laid over until the board went
into secret session. When il came up to be acted
on, credibly informed, the mayor read
from the back of the document petition of George
G. Smith and others, for the use Of Faneuil Hall
for public meeting on the 17th instant" an in
formal vote was taken on its acceptance, resulting
in six nays TO two yeas. After the petition had
been read, agreeably to Alderman Hoibrook's
quest, that gentleman moved . reconsideration of
the vote. This was voted not in order, the vote
being an informal one. A warm discussion then
ensucd. and in order 10 get out of the disagreeabe

Smith and others for the use Of Faneuil Hall on
the 18th day of April, for the purpose of public
reception Of tho Hon. Daniel Webster and to con-
suit on the public good. Resolved" &c.

Hon. Daniel Webster, which finally passed

President Fillmore.

We think we speak only the unanimous verdict
of the Wing party, says the st. Louis Intelligemcs
and indeed of the whole country, when we say
that the Administration of President Fillmore has
been eminently distinguished for its sagacity, it's
enlightened and patriotic policy, the frmness and
moderation of Its counses, its liberal and states
manlike views, and the dignity with which it has
conducted the affairs Of the Government, both at
home and abroad, during one of the most critical
periods Of our history Coming into Office at q
time Of high party excitement, he has 80 conduct
cd himself as to disarm his opponents, without in
the least impairing the confidence and respect of
his friends. Suddenly called to the Executive
chair, in the midst of excitement which threat
ened to rend the Union, his conduct was marked
by wise forecaste and q frmness of purpose,
which greatly contributed to the peaceful adjust
ment of the pcrplexing difficulty in which the
country was involved. northern man by birth
and education, he could, nevertheless, be Just
to the South The terms OF the adjustment once
agreed upon and clothed with the sanction OF
la,o. he has faithfully and nobly performed his
whole duty in maintaining and vindicating it. in
defiance of the strong preudices, and in the face OF
the most rabid fanaticisin Always just. temper
ate, and dignifed, he has proven himself also to be
firm, prompt, decided, and energetic in every
emergency which has arisen. Such man IL far
more than the mere successful leader of party.
He is a statesman Of the highest order. His chief
excellence does not consist in building up poiti-
cal party, but in acting from motives which are
superior to party, and in moulding his party To the
noblest ends Of government. II is not the Wings
alone who owe him gratitude and respect Public
conduct 30 irreproachable a. his deserves higher
reward and a wider homage than ever springs from
party fealty. OF all public men Of the country

were few leading WING presses Of the
North that could not understand or appre.
ciate the temper of the times. They thought
the element of abolition agitation too strong to
be parted with. They thought it essential to
their political ascendancy-to their personal OBJ
jects-to their selfish hopes-to their local
power; and they denounced Mr.. WEBSTER for
assuming to speak as a man Of the NATION.
Time passed on, and Mr.. FILLMORE was
elevated to the Presidency of the United States.
He understood the temper of the public mind
and the attitude of public affairs. He knew
the position of Mr.. WEBSTER in the nation,
and he called him to the first place in his Cab
met. Throwing himself into the breach, he
took the responsibility Of saving the country
from the vortex OF sectional feuds and local
animosities. BY his calm and tranquil deter
mination-by his resolute and we'll considered
and consistent policy-by his heroic disregard Of
personal consequenoes-in the face of menaced
vituperation, abuse and insult-in spite Of the
clamors Of the discontented and the sedtious-
he organized Cabinet and gave form and vigor
to system through which the measures Of the
Compromise were triumphantly carried, and
peace and harmony restored to a distracted
country. Ay, peace and harmony restored and
established! For the PEOPLE of this glorious
Union will it to be so and it is not in the power of
Abolitionists or Disunionists, North or South,
to prevent ii They may rally incendiary
meetings-they may call together seditious
and reasonable conventions-they may adopt
resolutions breathing fire and blood-they may
make speeches that put Billingsgate and Bed
lam to the blush-they may curse the Consti-
tuition of their fathers as Compact with
hell, }" and the Union of the States as the fruit
ful parent of sin and misery-they may stimu-
late mobs in Massachusetts, and parade organ
lied battalions in South Carolina-but the Pro
PIE will sustain the PRESIDENT in the preser-
walton Of the peace and Union Of these States.
And it is because Mr.. WEBSTER and Mr..
FILLMORE have rendered these services to their
country-seryices of priceless and incalculable
value-that these poor creatures in the Board
of Aldermen of Boston refuse to extend the ci-
Witty of an invitation to one of them, and shut
the doors Of Faneuil Hall upon the other!

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
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 an
a final settlement Of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
we're not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
"a system Of compromise the most concilatory
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 or abuse. That opinion, 20
far a. 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 consids
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 "

will be no revulsion or crash. From the foregoing
figures it appears that in nine years banking facil

advance has not yet come. During the three months
of this year the importatisns have astonishingly
surpassed the three of last year, the

Here is excess Of nearly five millions in one

year-and. added to last years importatons, would
swell those of double that Of lS42! But we suppose
it will not be the present year to $500 900 O0O
an amount just double. though 20 near it - to be
most remarkable.
We confess that we have been looking at only
one side of the picture, and that the sight Of this
alone is enough to make one dizzy. what are the
facts to relieve this garing viewi They arc these.
In 1912 credit system had got to its very lowest
ebb. No one then loved to be in debt or to have
debtors. People were still terrified from the past
and lived and did business within their means.
Hence the bank loans and discounts, and also the
importations Of foreign produce, were less than
what the wealth Of tho country would warrant.
And now in 1851 the wealth and the population and
extent of the country are 30 much greater than in
1912. AZ egitimately to warrant still larger cx-
tension Of bank credits and foreign purchases. In
the wild year of 1896 the importations amounted to
$169, ,9S0,00O They may reach the same figure
this year. But what would bankrupt the country
then cannot do 30 now.' Then our population did
not exceed fifteen millions-now il exceeds twenty
three millions. Our increase of wealth IL still more
rapid than our increase of population. 1t is safe to
say that tho property of the United States il now
double what it was then, independent of the acqui
sitions Of Texas. Oregon, California, New Mexico.
and Utah. According to such data as we can OBJ
tain, the population doubles itself in twenty three
years, and the wealth of our country yess itself in
that time.
In these facts, then, we behold an offset to what
might appear the brink of ruin TO which ws are
rushing. In one respect our progress seems like a
mad galop. In the other it appears rational. We
are certainly going ahead in a way which has no
parallel. Great circumspection IL necessary The
main safeguard is individual watchfulness and in
tegrity. If each individual and each institution il
safe-then our country, as an aggregate, will be
safe. This is our only hope There is no great re-
gulator to manage the business Of the country AZ
whole. Private virtue and intelligence constitute
our palladium of security.
