PRESID E.NYoS .MESS.4GE.


The activity Of Mr. Porter the Contractor
for the Northern Mail, anticipated its arrival
by judicious arrangements, and placed us in
possession of the Presidents Message yester-
day morning at half after O'Clock, instead OF
5 IN the artprnoon--thus conveying this impor
fant document in the space of IL hours from
Washington: degree of despatch, hitherto
without example
We NOW lay this document before our read
ers. We have no room to-day FOR comments
We may say, however, that its matter is
calculated To seize the public attention.
Ii presents many points of great impor-
lance. The proposition TO abolish the whole
P'1u"feer1ng systematic negotiation for the
navigation of the St. Lawrence-the recon-
menddtion TO appropriate money 10 the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the Con-
sftfut'onGt grounds upon which it is enforced
are all of them points which are entitled tn
the most serious consideration. Bat more I'M
portant than all these is the policy ne has chalk
Ell ont IN relation tn the states ot South Anne
rica. The President takes bold ground. He
intimates, that although we ought not To med
die in the war between Spain and her quon-
dam provinces, land ny parity of reasoning,
between Portugal and the Brazils, vet that
we Ought a." to consider any attempt" on the
part fthe allied powers of Europe, "to ex-
tend their system to any portion of this hemis-
phere, as dangerous Ia our peace and safrty''
therefore, that we ought to interfere for the
purpose of arresting such an aitempt-Wo
are solicitous TO know, what attempts are me-
ditated and we presume that Congress will
call for such information, as may be in the
power OF the Executive to give and which il
may be expedient to submit, calculated 10 shed
any light upon this deeply interesting subject.

claims for the Presidency, in the impending cam

designated rs The Clintunian party, has lost its
organization. strong effort appears TO have bee
made by that parry TO secure tho nseenIaucy 10 the

IN tins, they have in some counties succee,ed thro
the reuiissness at republicans ~ obtaining enpo-
rary Triumph. The Albany Argus adds " ne have

been elected Ia the Assembly aud 8 republicans
and OF the opposition, have been elected 10 the Sc
naie.'
In some OF The Eastern states some of the friend,
ol Adams and Calhoun appear Ia he struggling 10,
The supremacy. The Providence Journal declares
that Mr. Calhoun is too yomns, new and ,nexperieu
cet, 10 he trusted with tire helm-wheress Mr.
AJHms possesses every justification. The "yvautica
