THE President of the United States message
conies to us as a great and comprehensive treatise
on the progress of civilisation. It first glances
at the substantive condition of other countries
and then goes on to shape the political course of
the States so as to regulate and supply the great
national wants of their own people. In dealing
with the political relations of the States at home
and abroad, it does so without secrecy or reserve.
And while it leaves little for the future historian
to do, it leaves absolutely nothing for faction to
cavil about. As an example it might be followed
to great advantage.
With regard to the diplomatic relations of the
States with foreign countries the message informs
us that they have undergone no important change,
while it points to some of rather a disturbing
chai a3ter; amongst which we find the Fisheries

Central American, and the Canadian Boundary ques-
.4 r tions whielztrvAtpresent under negotiation between
>4 , the Goverittliats of England and the States, and
the whole'arvZich it is hoped \\ill be satisfactorily
