The Presidents Message. Although great
number of copies of this interesting state pa
per was at the Post Office in this town yester-
day, for individuals in Oxford county, which
had been transmitted by the Representative
of that district, to bis constituents. yet we
cannot learn that single copy has been for
warded to any individual in this town--con-
seqhently it is not in our power to present it
to our readers this week. The proprietor of
the Argus, learning that copy of the Mess
age had been received at Saco on Sabbath
evening, went over and procured it--but in
consequence of its great length they were not
able to finish il until the hour arrived for put
ting our paper to press.--lt would be great
accommodation TO the public if our Represen-
tative, like others. would embrace an early
opportunity Of transmitting to his constituents
such public documents as excite general inter
est, that they may find their way into the
country through the medium of the newspa-
pers.
