THE SUN.
LO)DON, FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1881.

At length, fourteen days after its delivery, we
were able yesterday to present our readers with the
President's Speech. We hope the Galway Packet
Company, or a company from that place, will
promptly get into action, and bring us good tele-
graphic summaries of news in fire days at least. It
is proved that the thing can be done, therefore it
must be done—done weekly or oftener.
The Message is full of physical courage, but not
wanting in moral cowardice. The brief announce-
ment we had by telegram is quite correct as far as
it goes. Indeed, singularly enough, what we I
should think the quintessence of the Speech, is
the quintessence in regard to quantity also,
which, in an American document, is quite
unusual. It is in these words :—" It is now

recommended that you give the legal means
for making this contest a short and deci-
sive one; that you place at the control of the

Government, for that work, at least 400,000 men
and 400,000,000 do's. ; that number of men is about
1-10th of those of proper ages within the regions
where apparently all are willing to engage, and
the sum is less than a twenty-third part of the
money value owned by the men who seem ready
to devote the whole. A debt of 600,000,000 dols.
now is a less sum per head than was the debt

of our Revolutionists when we came out of that

struggle, and the money value in the country
bears even a greater proportion to what it was
then, than does the population. Surely each
man has as strong a motive now to preserve our
liberties as each had then to establish them."
Mr. LINCOLN merely adds that a right result is
worth more to the world than ten times the men
and ten times the money ; though how the former
could be found consistently with any adults being
left for trade and agriculture does not, according to
his just previous calculation, appear. The great
difficulty for the Government is, he says, that men
are offered faster than. the
Uovernment can provide
for them.

Further on he illustrates the value of their in-
stitutions by the quality of his regiments—,, So
large an army as flow Government has now on foot
was never before known without a soldier in it but
who has taken his place there of his own free choice.
But more than this, there are many single regiments
