The Presidents Message.

We take pleasure in placing before our
readers to-day, the annual Message of Pres
ident FILLMORE, only regretting that it is
the last we shall receive from the man who
has proven himself SO eminently worthy of
the responsible station he has so ably filled,
and from which he will retire, more univer-
sally esteemed by all parties, than has any
executive since WASHINGTON. His admin
istration has been of purely national char
acter marred by no sectional or aggressive
spirit, and the policy he has pursued COM
mands the respect and allegiance Of all 10y
al conservatives Of the country.
We bespeak for the Message an attentive
perusa, and invite the closest scrutiny alike
of political friends and enemies. They
will find in it much to commend, and but
little 70 disapprove. 1t is, in the language
of contemporary. frank manly, digni6ed
and hightoned. and exhibits simplicity of
style and compactness, in admirable con-
trast With the verbal redundance and dis
cussiye method Of many State papers
What the President had to say, he says in
this message in the fewest words, and the
best temper. He casts no reflections on
friends or enemies at home, and uses no
bravadocs in reference to any body or any
nation abroad. He calmly surveys the
state of public affairs, and makes his sugges-
tions to Congress and the country with can
dor, perspicuity and force

no conjecture, and I'VE hope the time Is far dis
tant when any such conjectures may be hazarded.
But the principle at which We would arrive, and on
which we lay the utmost stress, is, that the main
tenance of peace is now, more than ever, the Gem.
mon interest Of Europe If the great principles OF
the European compact be violated for one they are
violated for all; and the chief security We have for
the pacific maintenance Of that COM pact is the over
whelming force by which it can be supported as
long as there is union between all who are int
rested in it, It may happen that attempts will be
made to purchase the neutrality Of some powers
while others are attacked, or to associate other
powers with France in measures OF repression
abroad, or even to procure q more active coopera-
ton in her designs. Such proposals have already
been made by Louis Napoleon, since he SLED the
Office of President Of the republic. But woe to the
government which shall lend itself to any SUCH lnsi.
dious overtures, and woe to Europe If the general
confederacy for the defence OF peace and public law
be broken up! We earnestly trust that no petty
rivales, no past differences no minor divisions will
be allowed to weigh for instant against the para
mount duty Of maintaining, III presence OF the
altered state of France, one dignifed and common
line of conduct All the governments OF Europe
may assure her of their resolution to acknowledge
all and every form of sovereignty she may adopt;
all may assure Louis Napoleon Of their fixed desire
for the maintenance Of peace upon the conditions
Of existing treaties, and of their complete for
bearance from every hostile intention and act But
they may alse, and we hope they will also, require
from the head of the French government DECLARE
at the same time resolve, that although no combi-
nation ought to be or can be formed against
France, yet that the common interests OF Europe
are equally opposed to every act of French aggres.
sion With these precautions, isolated aud weak
encd as France must be for some time by the inse-
of peace will be rendered essential to her as it is
desirable to ourselves.
