It is believed, however, that they will fall far short of those of the last year. The surplus of the revenues now on hand is, however, so large that no further appropriation from the treasury, in aid of the revciues of the IK'partinent, is required for the lurrent fiscal year; but an additional appn priation f>r the year ending JiineoO, l8r)-5, will probably be found necessary when the re ceipts of the first two t|uarters of the fi.scal year are fully ascertained. In his last annual report the I’ostma.s- fer (icneral recotuuiendeil a redm-tion of postage to rates which he decnied as low as could be prudently adoptevl, unle.>s Con- gress was prepared to aj>propriati‘ from the treasury, for the support of the l>ej)art- nunt, a sum more than equivalent to the mail servico performed by it for the (rov- ernuu nt. The rceomniendatii ns of the ri>'^tmaster Geni'ial, in respect to h tti'r po!tage, except on letters from and to Cal ifornia and Oregon, were substantially a- dopted by the last Congress. He now re commends adhereme to the presi nt letter rates, and advises against a further reduc tion until justified by the revenue of the l)e, KUtinent. lie also reeoniinenus that the rates »f postage on printed matter l>e so revised as to render tlu'iu more simple, and im'iv u- nif 'rm in their operation upon all class >s of printed mattir. I submit the ri'com- mendation." ot the report to your favorable consideration. The public statutes of the T. S. have now been accuuiulatin>i for more than six ty years, and, inter.spersed with private acts, are scattered through numerous vol umes. and. from the cost of the wh >le, have become almost inaecessil !e to the great mass of the community. Thev also exhibit mueh of the incongruity and im- pi rfection of hasty legislation. As it .seems to bo gen. rally conceded that there is no ••cuuiiuon l.tw" of the I'. S. to supply the defects of their legi>lation, it is most im portant that that legislation should be as perti'ct as possible, defining every power intt uiled to be conferred, every crime in tended to be made punishable, and pre scribing the punishim nt to be inflicted.— In addition to souie particular cases spoken ot more at letigih, tht* whole criminal cole is now lanii'iitably defective. Some offen ces are imperfi'ctly describt'd. an-l others are entirely omittid; sotiiat fl iifrant criin ‘S may be eninmitte l with impunity. The s ale of punishni' ut is le t in all cases gra duated according to the degree and nature of the ofT( nee, ;md is oft(‘ii n'udcred more un -qu d by the diffcnMit mo.les of impris onment, or penitentiary confinement in the different States. .^lany law> T>f a permanent character have bci-n introilnccd info aj)pr’)priation bills, and it is often ditTicult to ileteruiine whether the particular lau.«e expires with the ti'uiporary act of whi« h it is a part, or continues in force. It has also frequently happened that enactments and provisions of law have been introduced into bills, with th(! title or general subject of which they have little or no connexion ^r rela tion. In this mode of legislation so many i-naetnients have been heaped ujt >n ea h other, and often with but littb- considera tion, that, in many instances, it is diffi- t ult to .sean h out and ih termine what is the law. Tiiu (r ivernment of the F. S. is emphat ically a {rovernment of written laws. 'I'hc st.itnti's shmild, therefore, as far as practi cable. not only be made accessible to all, but be expressed in langna^je so plain ami simple as to be understood l>y all, and ar- raiie^e.l in sin h method as to give perspi- «uity 50 every subjec t. Many of the States have revised their juiblic acts witli great and manifest benefit; and I ncom- nuiid th.it provision be made liy l.iw fir the apji iintment of a eommi.ssion to revise the public statutes of the I’. S., arranging them in order, supplying deficiencies, cor recting incongruities, simplifying their lan guage, and rc[>urting them to Congress for its actiiii. An act of Congress approvcil DOth Sept. ]x.)0, contaim'il a j>rovision for tin* exten sion of the (’apitol, according to such plan as might 1m' approved by the 1‘resident, and approjiriated -SlUO.OOO to be expended under iiis direction, by such architect as he should apj>oint to execute the same. On examining the various {dans which had been submitted by different architects, in pursuance of an advertisement by a com mittee of the Senate, no one was fouinl to lie entirely satisfactory, and it was there fore deemed advisable to combine and adopt the advantages of .several. The great object to be aceoniplished was tr» make such an aiidition as would afford ample airl convenient halls for the delibe rations fif the two IIou.s(‘s of Congress, with suflicient accommodations for specta- It is deejdy to be regretted that in seve ral instances officers of the Government, in attempting to execute the law for the return of fugitives from labor, h'lve been openly resisted, and their efforts frustrated and defeated by lawless and vi(dent mobs; that in one case sm h resistance resulted in the dcatii of an estimable citizen, and in other.s .scriims injury ensued to tliose cifi- cers and to indiviciuals who were using their endeavors to sustain the laws. Pros ecutions have been instituteil against the alleged offenders, so far as they could be ideiitifiel, and are still pending. J have regarded it as my duty, in these cases, to give all aid legady in my power to the en forcement of tlie laws, and I shall continue to do so wherever and whenever their exe cution may be resisted. 'I he act of Congress for the return of fugitives fn'm labor is one required and demanded by the express words of the (’onsdtution. The Constitutifin declares, “That no person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into an other, shall, in consc(]uence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from su h service or labor, but sh.dl be delivered up , on (daini of tlie party to whom sm h ser vice or labor may be due.” This consti tutional provision is equally obligatorv upon the liCgislative, the Executive, and Judicial Departnients of the (foycrnnient, and upon every citizen of the I'. S. (’ongress, however, must, from nece.ssi- ty, first act upon the subject, by prescrib ing the proeecilings nece.ssjiry to ascertain that the person is a fugitive, and the means to be u>ed for his restoration to the claim ant. This was dotu' by an act pas.sed du ring the first term of I’resideiit Washing ton, which Was amended by that enacted by the last (’ongn'ss, and it now remains for the Kxecutive and Judicial Dvpart- nients to take care that the.se laws be faith fully executed. This injuiictiiiu of the Coristitution is as peremptory and as bind ing as any other; it ^tands exactly on the same foundation as that clause which pro vides for the return of fugitives from jus tice, or that which declares that no bill of attainder or es jutsf frt'fo law shall be jta.ssed, or that which provid'S for an equality of taxation, according to the cen sus, or the (lause •leclaring that all d ities >hall be unibirm throughout the I . S., or the important provision that the trial of all crimes shall be by jury. These several artit les and clause's of the Constitution, all resting on the same authority, must stand or fall together. Some objections have been urgi d against the details of the act for the return of fugitives from labor; but it is worthy of remark that the main op{K>- sition is aimed airainst the Con>titution it self, and priK-eeds from persons and i lasses of persons, many of whom leclare their wish to see that Constitution overturned. They avow their hostility to any law which shall give full an«l practical effect to this requirement of the (’oiistitution. For tunately, the number of these persons is coi»paratively small, and is believed to be daily diminishing, but the issue which they present is one which involves the su premacy and even the existence of the Constitution. t'ases have heretofore arisen in which individuals have ienied the binding au thority of acts of Congress, and even States h.ive proposed to nullify sti h acts, upon the ground that the ('onstitutii>n was the supreme law of the land, and that those a( ts of ('oiiL'ress were rt'j-ngnant to that instruiiK'iit; but nullification is now aimed, not so much against particular l.iws as be ing inconsistent with th»‘ Constitution, as against the Constitution itself; ami it is not to be lisgnis«-d that a sjtirit exists and has been actively at work to rend asunder this Union, whi( h is our cherished inheritance from our revolutionary fathers. In my last :uinual nu'ssage I stated that 1 considcrcil the .series of measures, which had been adofited at the previous sssion, in reference to the agitation growing out of the Territorial and slavery questions, as a final settlement in principle and sub stance of the dangerous and exciting sub-' ears smashed. cofoco members had been held on Saturday ; i the hne road.

Di:MC)rH.\('V. W e ask our I)emocratic brethren to ixinder ujion the declaration made by lion. Charles Allen, at a caucus in Worcester, very lately. There was no choice for ' Kepres(Mitatives in that town—three tick et.'* having bet-n run. It was therefore seen to be neeessaiy, iii order to “whip the Whigs,” to form a more rigid coalition. To induce the Frce-Soilers to “cave in,” Mr. Allen declared that hereafter there were to be no other parties in the country but the Free Democracy and the Pro- Slavery Whigs. He saiil: “The Free-Soil and l)emK‘ratic parties would be one in the next l*residential ' election; that the Democratic party were I carrying every Xortl.crn State, ami the Whig party were carrying the Sonthrrn ‘ States, which, if so, proves the Democra- I tic party to be tb.c Northern and "the I Whigs the Southern party.” Are our neighbors thus prepared to give ■ up their nationality and sink into a sec- I tional party? Are fheir late victories ob tained in the Xorthmt States the result of Free-Soil assistance?

The President has jK'rformed his duty, by endeavoring faith fully to enforce the Constitution and the Laws, according to his solemn obligation. His tieclarations in regard to the mainte nance of the Compromise measures, as a final settlement of the slavery (jiiestion, and particularly of his determination to enforce the fugitive law, are clear, explicit, unqual ified, leaving no room for doubt or cavil. The law is a constitutional law, a proper law, and as .«.uch it must and will bo exe cuted. The President gives no quarter to the fanatics—hoMs no parly with them. He leaves no room for doubt, that, whoever el.se may court thtir alliance, he does not. As little tloes he truckle to the “fillibu.s- tering” spirit of the age. He stands u{> manfully for that policy of WASlll.\(iToN which more than half a century of prospe rity has .sanctified: Peace with all nations; entangling alliances with none. Su( h are the Statesmen whom the peo ple of this ctmntry ought ever to keep at the helm; not those who favor a spirit of war and conquest, who first provt>ke war ami then demand the eiien.v’s territory to jiay its Cost—compelling all mankind to re gard us with suspicion and dislike. I nder this Administration, no such spirit will be tolerated, but our own peace will be pre served, and the riuhts of other nations re- specteil. We rejoice to believe that such ■ i.

The Mississippi Convention has adojtfed, 7i> to 17, resolutions declaring their appro- Hutehins; all of whom accompanied Mr. Gorsuch to Lancaster county in pursuit of the fugitives. Their testimony establishes the fact that the pri.sf ner Hanaway was i early on the ground, soon after the sound-1 ing of the horn, and was immediately followed hy a band of negroes; that he re fused to assist in the arrest of the .slaves; and that his pre.sence gave encouragement M.\ssArm:sKTTt. jeets whi h they embraced; and I recom- , will please (d).serve, that, mended adherence to the Adjustment es- jjjg nianner in which the Democrats rallied tahlished by those measures, until time val of the Compromise measun's, of the r-j to them, as shown by the fact that the nioii as it is, and of the Constitution of the Cnited States without amendment. They declare agidnst Secession, as subversive ot th'' rnion, and amounting to Kevolution. Well done, Missi.ssippil The Wil.

I was not in duct'd to make this recommendation be cause I thought those measures perfect, for no human legislation can be jierfect. Wide differences and jarring opinions can only be reconciled by yielding something on all sides, and this result had been re:Khed after an angry conflict of many months, in which one part of the country was arrayed against another, and violent i convulsion seemed to be imminent. Look- ; ing at the interests of the whole country, ' " I to the support of the Free-S»ilers, it is mentioned by the Boston Atlas that not a single one of the “ijidomitable” Democrats of the last Legislature who voted against Mr. Sumner has }»een again returned.— Such is the “National” Democracy of Ma.s- sachusetts!” Mr. Kantoul, it seems, has not been read out of the party in Ma.s.sachusetts after all, though an avowed and active Free.soiler.

Ayer from the 3d district of New Hampshire.” The Washington Union, speaking of New York politics, says,— “The faith of the Union in this present harmony of purpose in the democratic ranks there, so far from being shaken, is, if pos sible, strengthened by the fact that we find men who hnce. hem free-soilers iu New York now openly placing themselves upon a platfornri of Union which declares for the democracy that, so far as it is concerned, sectional agitation is now at an end.” If the Whig party at the North, and particularly in New York, were, as the Union falsely asserts, the free-soil abolition party, wdiy did not the.se “men who have heen free-soilers” join the Whigs, in pre ference to the liocofocos, whom the Uni(m, with equal pertinacity and equal falsehood, declares to be with the South on the sub ject?

Late from ('afi/ornin.—Advices have been received from San Francico to Novem ber 1. Great excitement prevailed there in c(msequence of the murder of eleven of the crew and passengers of the c]ip[ier ship (Uiallenge by the captain and mates. The former escaped, but the latter had been arrested. Accounts from the mines were very en couraging, and a fair business was going forward in prfnluce, &c. A Thnn/,-st/ii inif Train.—The o o’clock train from New York, over the N. Y. and New Haven Railroad, on Wedne.sda}-, P. M was made up of Jifty-tiro cars. A miKlerate allowance of passengers for each car would give about 3,000 persons to this single train; nearly all of whom, doubtless, were “going home to Thanksgiving.” And this was only one of the many ave nues through which the citizens of New York found their way into the country to keep “Thank.sgiving.” The various rail roads out of Boston were also crowded with outward bound pa.ssengers on Wed- ne.sday, 1*. M., and Thursday morning. Boatmi Tniceller, 28/A uU. Emaneipntion of Women.—A few days since an address was presented to Madame Kossuth by a deputation from the “Society for the Emancipation of Women.” In addition to an expre.ssion of sympathy, this address contained the wish that the wife of the honored hero of the day would communicate to these ladies her senti ments re.specting their efforts to achieve the freedom of her sex. Madame Kos suth replied, that she thanked them hearti ly for this proof of their sympathy towards herself, and, through her, more particular- Rio. 1 1.. 1 11 1 11 Laguira, 10 St. Domingo, j i COTT( »N— 1 1 Strictly prime, i 'J, •i Prime, Fair, i COTTON B.VGGINC— 1 1 (Junny, ' 1", 18 Dundee, i.s' I*; Burlaps, 1 10, 13 COTTON YARNS— !
