4 FINAL SETTLEMENT Willard Fillmore.
in his Message to Congress in 1880. after the
happy pacilicaion of the Compromise Bills,
said ,.'.
THE series ofmeasurcs Compromise Bills J
to which I have alluded are rcga d,d by me
as a settlement, in brineiplc aud substantially
faa' settlement ~ IF The dangerous and er-
citing subjects mh'ct they cmtr6M. Most of
these subjects, indeed. are beyond your reach
as the legislation which disposed of,lhem was
in its character, final, and irrcvncablc. 1t
may be presumed from the opposition which
they all encountered that none Of those INCA
>urts were free from lmpelfeclons, hut in
their mutual dependence and connection they
torm'd system of compromise, the most
conci'atory, and best for the entire country
that could he obtained from conflicting sec
tlonal interests and opinions.
"For this reason recommend you: adhc
renee to the adjustment established by those
measures, until time and experience shall
demonstrate the necessity Of further lcgisla-
ton to guard against evasion or abuse.

JEALOUSY OF SINGING BlRp.--Au English paper is authority for tho following singular ia- cident in natural history, which occurred lately at Chester: :" A thrush in a happy state ol freedom was trilling its notes in the orchard be- low the walls, near the wishing steps," when its music excited similar efforts from cawed bird of the same species, which was suspended in front of one of the adjacent houses. These fcathcred songsters preserved in rising their melodies to higher aud higher efforts, us if in earnest rivalry !; when, suddenly, the bird among the trees dartcd from its perch upon the wicker cage of its competitor, broke the bars, cntcr- ed 1t, and commenced an assault upon the musi- cal captive tho owner of which, hearing the unusual noise, came out, took the aggrsscr pris- oacr and sold it into bondage. The ill-tempcr- cd thrush had therefore paid the penalty of sacrificing it's freedom to it's jealousy"

So they went to South Caroli- na, where the people fought for them, not against the'a"
 This is almost equal to the kcen hit of Scna- tor Wade, in the course ot the Kansas debate. Expatating on the patrunhal charms of Save ", Butler lamcnted that fthe bill did DO, pass, he might go to the Territory himself, but he could lot take his dear, td culore,l nstmn,y with him, the nurse c: his infancy, and the com panion of his manhood and age" That is not your difficulty" retortrd Wade, "but it lies iu tue fact that you can uot beat and srl, her when you get her tucrc."

GooD.-In Mir Buchanan's letter of accep- tance there is one paragraph devoted to piety, upon which the Evening Post makes the fol- lowing comment:
 There is an old story-a Joe Miller, we believe -of grocer who held the colloquy with his apprentice {: John, have you watered the milk ?" "Yes." ,, And the plug tobacco - "Yes." "And put the Indian meal into the ginger T' Yes" And sanded the stigary" "Yes." linen come to prayers" In like man ner, having concocted, with Soule, Saunders and Sickles, the plan set forth in the Ostend Manifesto, for wrestling Cuba from Spain, a scheme of robbery on large scale, the seizure of rich island yielding liberal revenue to the Spanish treasury, and offering place of refuge from poverty to the distressed and enterprising among the Spanish population, the deyout Mr. Buchanan turns up the whites of his eyes and bids his confederates come to prayers To prayers they go the pous soule, the vrtuous Saunders, the exemplary Sickles, with the de- vout Forney bringing up the rear. We only fear that there is q little too much staggering among this group of saints when they get upon their knees.
 Now, it is not Mir. Buchanan's piety that we object to we wish he had more of it but our difficulty consists in this, that we have our doubts whether praying and stealing go well to- gether. If Mr. Buchanan insists upon wrcst- ing Cuba from Spaiu," because, to use his own words, he imagncs that our interests" would be promoted by it, ought he to commit the rob bery with prayer on his lips? Is not the prayer made on such an occasion a sort of blas phcmous mockery? Is it dccorous to carry on the two processes ut the same moment and if we persist ill stealing, ongl,t we not to leave of praying, at least until We have fairly taken our hands out of our neighbor's pocket? We suggest these questions for Mr. Buchanan's serious consideration, if he ever considers such matters seriously.
