The severest shock of earthquake ever experienced in this vicinity since the set tlement jof California by Americans, occur red on Friday morning at just 21 minutes past 5 o'clock- In this city and vicinity every building shook to its foundation, and in some quarters the houses were swayed and rolled as vessels in a heavy sea.

Again he declares ; 4 k i he country may be assured that to the utmobt of illy ability, and to the extent of the power rested in me, I shall, at all times and in all places, tf ke care that the laws be faithfully executed in the. discharge of this duty, solemly imposed on me by the Con stitution and by my oath of office, I shall shrink from no responsibility." " j Accordigly when the Fugitive slave law was resisted by an armed riot in Boston, we find him lending the whole weight of Federal authority in support of the Marshal, and calling upon.

I can not doubt that the American people, bound together oy kindred blood, and common traditions', still cherish a parmount regard for the U nion of, their fathers: and that they are ready to rebuke any attempt to violate its integrity, to disturb the compromises on which it is based, or to resist the laws whu h have been enacted under its authori- ty- .

Most ofthesc subjects indeed, are beyond your reach, as the legislation which disposed of them was, in its character, final and irrevocable. It may be presumed from the opposition which they ajl encountered, that none of those measures were free from imperfections, but iu their mutual dependence and connec tion they formed a system of compromise, the most conciliatory, and best for the en tire country, that could be obtained from conflicting sectional interests and opinions. , For this reason recommend your adher ence to the adjustment' established by those measures, until time and experience shall demonstrate the necessity of further leris- iain 10 guaro against evasion or abuse. uy that adjustment we have been d from the wide and boundless a that surrounded us, and have a-firm t i i , ani legal ground to rest upon. And the . .,, . occasion, I trust, will justify me in exhort- in? mv conntrvmen to rallv- nr. maintain that ground as the best, if not the only means of restoring peace and quiet to the country, and maintaining inviolate the integrity of the Union."-- Jackson (Miss ) Flag. vThat the Abolitionists say of Mil lard Fillmore. j . MORE LIGHT FOn THE SOUTH. An Albany correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post says : Not a word h:s been said editorially as vet in the Register upon Fillmore's nomin ation ; but it is expected that he will come out with a stunner to-morrow or next day, against the proceedings of the Philadelphia Convention. All the Republicans here that I have conversed with seem very well pleas ed with Fillmore's nomination. They think their chances for success next fall are now belter than ever. The true issue be tween slavery and frcesoil is presented "by Fillmore's nomination. Everybody knows , who he is what he has done for the South and Southern interest, and what he would i be willing to do again if elected." J The Newbury port Herald says that if the State Council endorses Fillmore, the signer of the Fugitive Slave act, and Donelson,the owner of a hundred slaves, the contest for the State administration next fall will be between the Democrats and Republicans. The Know-Nothings of N. Y. city rati fied the nigger-hunting ticket at the Taber nacle Friday evening. J. H. Reynolds "presided, and James W. Barker, a leading George Law man, joined in the proceedings, A. J. Donelson spoke at some length and was vehemently applauded. Resolutions warmly endorsing the Philadelphia nomi nations were adopted with great' enthusi asm. Boston Evening TeL (Aboh) How they Like it.

''- We have been approached, of late, by a large number of persons, and asked wheth er we were in favor of Conferring Banking Privileges on this Company. We invaria bly answer in the affirmative ; and have no doubt, but that if. such privileges were now exercised by this Company, that trade here abouts would be more. brisk, and that the pressure, which is how bearing down all kinds of business, would hardly be felt. Now, we have no bankiing facilities, and consequently, every thing is depressed. ' In addition, we are reminded that there is a number of public spirited citizens, who have nobly and liberally invested large a mounts in this grand enterprise, and as yet they are recieving nothing in return. Jus tice demands the bestowraent of this privi lege on them, that they may at least make an interest on their money, as well as the great want of a circulating medium, which will always be at par. At this moment, there is no such thing as Bank accomodations, and there never .will be as long as the notes of our present Banks ar? continually driven from circulation by brokers buying tfiem up and'returning them to the Hanks.

Until this is the case, we have no idea that we shall witness much improvement in the trade of our State. The want of this has always been a drawback and has so been acknowledged by all with whomwe have conversed. We, therefore, throw out these hints that the subject may be brought before the public, talked about, and when the proper time ar rives, for electing men to the Legislature, they may be selected with reference to this all-important subject. We see no good reason why this privi lege should be exclusively conferred on men who have not to this day risked one dollar in these two gigantic enterprises works which have and must yet exert a tremend ous influence all over the State, in develop ing our hitherto unknown resources. ; To secure this desirable end, let there be a general move among the friends of the measure, and not an effort spared until it j shall be completely successful. Salisbury Herald. The Washington Union virtually ad mits that the Democracy in Congress gave up its platform when it consented to the a doption of the plurality rule. There was a strong repugnance," says the editor, "a mong the national members to its adoption." Finding it dangerous, however, to delay, 44 propositions w ere made by ihe Democrats to which the Southern Know Nothings in dicated a disposition to accede." In fact, the Democrats went over to the Know Nothings. When Aiken was asked by Mr. Barclay, of Pennsylvania, whether he stood upon the Democratic platform or had given pledges to the Know Nothings, he refused to answer. And Mr. Barclay's democracy was " so intense that ho refused to vote for Aiken, becase that gentleman told the House that he was not the nominees of any cau cus and did not go into the contest with the abominable caucus resolution; sticking to him. Mr. A. K. Marshall was right in claiming a victory for the national Ameri cans that the Democrats were voting for a man who disclaimed the caucus resolution. It must have been a great satisfaction to the American members to see the Democrats I forced to give up their caucus resole, after nine weeks blind and stupid maintainance of it. There was no understanding between the National Americans and Democrats. This was distinctly declared by Mr. Hum phry Marshall on the final vole for Speak er.

It was not only in the almost unparalleled beauty of the orator's periods, the logical accura cy of his deductions, the originality of thought and expression, the winning grace of manner, or the exquisitely mod ulated, pleasing voice that , charmed his hearers ; hut it was that the audience felt that he was portray inc the'' self sac rificing life, virtuous character and deeds great because - add that not r . . . , , , ! n fpv. inlistenincr to the noble thoughts a- which fell so earnestly from the lips of ' the orator, unconsciously, perhaps, drew a comparison between the pure and spot less statesmen and scholar and the "Fath er of his Country," to jwhose memory and glory-he was calling up tears lixo grateful rain.- , It is an effort, taken as a whole, that will be long and londly remembered in the Old Dominion, and the nation may well be proud to claim among her sons a patriot and orator like Edward Evcr: ett.

But there is .something in the appear ance of Trumbull which indicates that he. would notshrinK from. trying conclu sions with the most ferocious of his as sociates He is of a slender, wiry figure, with a well formed head and a square, compact forehead. His spectacles lm- part a rather clerical air tp his pale fea- tures; but the resolute compression of his mouth, and the unhesitating precision -and positive character of his language, ; give warning that there is some fight in 1 him ; and I rather think his enemies woud prefer to steer, clear of him in" debate. He is preceded bj' a high repu- i tation as a lawyer and judge in Illinois. CIrcns Statistic.
