AMERICA.
QUEENSTOWN, Dec. 16.
The Asia: had
livered his arrived out. The President de-
message on the 4th inst. The first
topic discussed is the revolutionary crisis, while
the country is
eminently prosperous in all its
material interests. Mr. Buchanan asks why the
union —tlie source of all these blessings—is
threatened with destruction ? The cause is at
hand. It is the long continued and intemperate
interference of the Northern people with the ques-
tion of slavery in the South, which has given rise

\

to servile insurrections, and inspired the slaves
with vague notions of freedom. Hence a sense of
security no longer exists around the family altar.
The message takes ground that the election of
of Lincoln involves no provocation for disunion,
and states that the South is in no immediate
danger therefrom. :Mr. Buchanan considers
secession revolutionary, and denies the doctrine of
constitutional secession. He next contends that
the federal government has no right to coerce
the seceding state into submission, and that
coercion is impracticable. The relations with all
foreign powers, excepting Spain, are reported
amicable and satisfactory. Some suggestions
are made relative to the purchase of Cuba.
As the disputed title to the island of
San Juan with Great Britain is under negotia-
tion, it is not deemed advisable to make any allu-
sion to the subject. The President regards the
visit of the Prince of Wales as a most auspicious
event. Its consequences cannot fail to increase
the kindred and kindly feeling which we trust may
ever actuate the governments and people of both
countries. The financial condition is briefly dis-
cussed, and considerable reduction is shown in the
annual expenditure. The message concludes with
lengthy remarks about the necessity of modifies-
cations in the tariff to meet the deficiencies of
the revenue. After reading the message an
amendment was moved and carried—" That so
much as related to the perilous condition of the
country be referred to a select committee of one
from each State."
