THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We wonder whether there is one Ame-
rican VINO does not walk prouder IN The
instep hen he reads the nesssge OF our
venerable chief magistrate. The senii-
meH,s are those mol merely purely, and
decidedly American, they advocate the
cause of iegen-rated Greece, the cause OF
South American emancipation, the Cause
of eternal freedom, whenever and wbefev
er she deigns 10 bless with her smiles, the
world in which We live. 1t is the same
cause for which the persecuted Cato as
sembled mis- little band oil freemeD IN Uti-
ca. and resisted the ImperInl Cesar, in
the tuli plide and iDsornce Of bis veto
ries, IL is the Cause Oi GrecIan, Roman,
and of American freedom that the Presi-
iet now advocates, -venera0 ole indeed are
su rh sentiments from the lips OF one oil the
hoary patriots OF thu American revolution.
1t proves tba, "even in our ashes live their
won ed 6r 8" Our President has told
US in strain OF mild tempered, but com.
handing dignity. that any attempt On the
part of the European powers, to PROSTATE
he independence OF our neIghbor repub
lIC, an Independence which we have re-
cognised, will be regarded as unfriendiy
by The United States This is bringing
be matter TO plain, distinct, T. luminous
POM, and we have now almost certain evi-
3ence, evidence furnished BY the intell.
gence that we republish 10 day, that this
ihey yiN attempt! What then does that
parry denon,nste the Radical, think Of
such sentiments Are they uttered from
tie lips Of our FIRST magistrate merely 10
round period?- were they destined only
to hespaogle his message?--No! they
came warm from the heart and faithful
to its fires" The United States are IN
danger Of war from the Allied Powers
they have declared war againt US, tor
they have denounced all representative
governments already. and they are only
waiting for the means to crafty their ven

SALT.

After boring, from time to time, for period oil
of S73 eet, the greater part Of the way through So
lid rock, Judge de Hart, of Susquehanna county, has
at last succeeded in procuring good supply Of salt
water, from which salt of an excellent quality has
been made. We understand the water is much
stronger than that at the Onondaga works, and thai
it is in such abundance as to induce Nicholas Bid

Hart in sinking the shaft to boilers aud other

BRIDAL MISTAKE.

One Of the most complete and singular bulls we
remember to have heard, and which is likely to ai-
ford employment to the gentlemen OF the long robe,
has recently been committed in the county OF Wick
low We do not know that the subject has been
noticed by the public prints bn' we have no doubt
as to the correctness Of our Information. Two gen
emen, brothers, were recently married on the same
day. and the respective friends OF each, with the
brides and bridegrooms, determined to celebrate the
happy event joyiaily as possible. Accordingly, the
whole party repaired to a house short distance
from Wicklow, where the day was spent In the usu-
al style OF Irish mirth there being no lack OF sup
ply of the generous grape, nor of the still more
generous native" At night the brides retired TO
rest but dire mishapl in the morning it was dis
covered that each gentleman bad gone to what was
intended 10 be his brothers bed the ladies in the
dark, and the broher's voices strongly resembled
each other not having noticed the fatal error! We
understand what particularly puzzles the lawyers is,
that of the ladies possesses fortune OF 6000l.
and the other one OF ,000l aud the gentleman who
married the lady with the latter fortune wishes to
keep possession Of the lady with whom he slept, with
the 6,000. this his brother refuses to accede to- and,
in consequence, the whole affair is to be made pub
