That gratification arises, not only fro n its manifesta- ( lions of personal regard ml confidence, but especially, from the evidence which it affords, that my public conduct, in regaid to important pending qii?s?ions, in not altogether ditapp'oxed by the people of Massachusetts. Such n loiter, with such names. assures me, that I have not erred in judging of (he causes of existing (lis conti-ntn, or their proper remodv; mid enconnives me to presevere in th.it course, wliicli my di'opcst convictions of duty linve l'-d mo to adopt. The country noeds pacification: it needs the resto-i lion of Yiutunl respect nnd harmonv, h??tween the people in one part of the Union, nnd those in another. And. in mv judgment, there is no sufficient cause for the con- inu incc of the exi ring alienation between the Nfo-th and the South. If we will look at things justlv, nnd calmly, there i< no es<en in) ilifFot'nnnflo niiUni* ?%f which are irreconcilable, or incapable of adjustment. So fur >is the question ??f sin very applies to thenewlv aeqwi ed te-ritories, there is, in mv ju fame 1?, no real and practical point of importance in dispute. There is not, and cannot be slavcrv, as I firmly believe, either in California. New Mexico or Desert. And if this be ho, why continue tho controversy on a mrtre abstraction? The o'.her disturbing qucttjona rcsp< c's the restoration oi fuj?'ti' laves, and silvery ia the District ef Columbia: and I know no 'eji^on wliv insf. nnd fair muasurtf-i, nil within the undoubt<>d limits nnd requi sition* of the ''onstifuti-?i? might not be adopted, which should give, on tho.ic subjouts, general satiifaction.
