They are expressed exactly in the sene OF the fathers OF
American indepeDdencoa sense too lttle appreciated
by many OF their desoendents Toward the close OF the
close OF the Message, President FILLMORE passes In re-
view a number of topics TO which circumstances have
prevented his devOtng much attention "a he could

quarters depart from his old and true Faith and warns
against the silly ambition OF emGaiing the mOnsrchs OF
the Old World Ia their mst Of territorial acquisitions.
and OF the eXeroise Of influence Ia tie councils OF neigh

reasoning the tone and temper of thai part u

The temper In which the fishery squabble with Great

With much interest We have watched OF late move

OF the growth OF national patty combining some OF the
beet features of the old democrats the hand and

From those faults the Whss, party have generally
