From the Baltimore Gazette.
We publish to-day the message of Mr. Adams in answer to the resolution of the House of Representatives, asking information respecting the proposed Congress, or "meeting of diplomatic agents" at Panama. This message is highly interesting. It appears to be a plain statement of the views of the President, which, generally speaking, are liberal, enlightened, and such as will be satisfactory to the people of the United States and firm, respectful towards the body to whom the message is addressed, and well calculated to create in every quarter a favorable impression.
The message throws the opposition in the Senate far in the back ground, and proves it to have been an opposition to persons, not to measures, an opposition becoming partisans better than patriots, and highly to be censured in the present instance, as having no perceivable good object in view.
Thus much for the present opposition, which is fast defeating its ends, and lowering itself before the public, by the premature violence of its measures.
