WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER S. 1897.

The Presidents Message, which wspublish
day for the benefit of our country readers,
seems to us to be so entirely free from obiec.
tionable points, eithersin matter or in compo.
sition, tina, it must be acknowledged by all
parties to be as creditabe to the nation as it is
gratifying in the view which it takes of her fl
nancial and social concerns We shall take
an early opportunity to communicate the sub
stance Of the various interesting documents
which accompanied it.
No business of moment was Transacted in eli
Their House of Congress Yesterday, with the ex.
ception Of the passage OF a resolution, by the
Senate, declaring Duff Green to be the printer
to tina, body for The Twentieth Congress. In-
delible as this stain is upon the character Of
our country, another of a still deeper die was
Inflicted, during the discussion Of the resolu-
ton. We were present and witnessed the hu>
initiating sight. Scarcely could we believe our
ewes when we saw Duff himself take books
from the Secre,ary's liable, examine them, and
Immediately pass 10 the seat Of Mr.. Senator
Woodbury., who suffered him to whisper in his
ear for considerable time, and directly after
wards occupied The floor n, support Of the re-
solution. TO what lower depth Of degrade
ton, can this Jackson Mania carry us!
We observe by the proceedings Of the SEN
ate, published in The Washington papers, that
Mr. Johnson Of Kentucky, has given notice that
he will at an early day, bring forward bill 10
abolish Imprisonment, for debt, throughout The
United States.

MrAndrew Stewart as able and as hones'
Representative from Pennsylvania, as any OF
the Delegation TO Congress from that Sta'e,ha'
been denounced by the Opposition for his con-
sis,en, and unallerab!e attachment TO The inter-
es,s Of the Domestic Manufactures and the s. s.
Tern o. Internal Improvement, in favor oil which
,,Iicy Pennsylvania herssif stands pledged. He
has ably vindcated himself against this attack
in an address which we find in the Pennsy'Vas
MIA Democrat of the 10Th inst. In this address
be Aitassssf sbtad M msas Is Fs
true ground 10 be taken; and has satisfactorily
shown that as these measures are in harmony
with the interests and expressed feelings Of his
constituents. and of the whole Stale, he could
only have justly subjected himself o The charge
of Inconsistency or unlaithfulne SIS, if he had ar
rayed himself on the side Of those by whom
they are opposed.
MIR. Stewart suggests to his constituents to
refrain from lending their countenance 10 those
who advocate General Jackson, until il is as
certained whether the character Of his policy
should he BE elected, will conformt TO that which
is pursued by the present administration, or
whether il will be made to suit The conceptions
and constructions Of the Virginia school. His
language on this point we extract, as contain
ing the views Of an honest and enlightened
Judgment; and, as such, we commend them 10
the attention Of our readers:
"WhPn ! see war waged against measures
both local and general, OF vital importance to
the welfare Of my country and constituents, and
when see designs formed and attempts made
by Southern men to use Gen Jackson as the in
strument by which they expect to accomplish
the overthrow and destruction Of this measure,
| feel myself called upon by every principle Of
patriotism to pause and suspend my judgement
until it is ascertained whether he will consent
or refuse TO lend his name and influence 10 this
party; for these purposes Neutrality l know is
not the popular course: it will subjrc, me to
the denuncialions Of some who preach repub-
licanism, yet practice prescription: who love
liberty of thought and action themselves, vet
would deny ii to others; still i, is the course
which, for the present, strong sense CT pub
lie duty requires me 10 pursue, and when per-
sonal popularity is placed in one scale, and the
public interest in The other, trust shall never
hesitate as 10 The course 10 be adopted. NV
political elevation or downfall is matter of no
importance 10 the public, but The success or
acw mail Of these measures is matter Of the !

In looking over the debates in Congress, in
the session OF 1924 and $, | find the follow re
sentiments delivered by Mr. James Buchanan,
Of Pennsylvania, The witness Of General JAG kson
in the case ofhis charge against Mr. Clay: they
were pronounced in a debate which arose. on
the I'd day Of February, 1925, on mo,ion of
Mr.. lngham, Of Pennsylvania. to amend the Sd
rule, as reported by special committee OF the
House OF Representatives TO prepare rules to
be observed by the House, in choosing Presi-
dent Of the United States, by striking out the
last clause thereof, viz and the galleries shall
be cleared on the request Of the delegation of
any one Stale"
Mr.. Buchanan said, "What are the conse
quences which will result from closing the doors
Of The gallery? We shall mparl to the election
an air of mystery. We shall give exercise to
the in'agiadi'onS Of the multitude, in conieclur-
ing what scenes are acting within This Hail.

less than putting our ballots into the boxes, and
!hey Will soon become satisfied with the spec
lacle and retire Mr. Buchanan said, he knew
well his friend from Delaware (Mr. McLane)
was wiling that all his conduct in regard 10 the |
residential question, should be exhibited BE-
ore The public, and that it was principle alone,
which had suggested his remarks"

In giving place to the fourth number Of
I" "Seventy Five We should be sorry to say
anything that would wound the feelings ofth
writer; but justice to ourselves, demands that
we should avow, that his sentiments, are not
our sentiments, and that we consider his argu-
ments entirely fallacious. We have thus far
INDUCED our correspondent, out Of respect for
his good qualities, and disintcrested zeal in the
cause of the country, but as we conceive that
he has taken false side of the question, and
that his positions cannot be substantiated by
facts, we hope that he will not pursue the
subject Of Legislation any further. The wr-
ter, when he speaks Of dissolution of the
Union, approaches a subject of extreme deli
cacy, and one that ought not to be touched.
We cannot agree with him that the people of
the South, are locking for dissolution of the
Union, nor do we believe that they are any
more anxious for the consummation Of such an
event, than their northern neighbours. Inter-
est, prudence, and physical weakness, would
all conspire, to induce them to hold on to an
union of the States. Our correspondent, has
taken stand directly hostile to all the no
tions of honorable Cancellation, and by his
language and department, would engender
heart-burnngs and animosities between the
people Of the different sections ofthe country.
Viewing the essays in this light, and believing
that the publication of them will not in the
least tend to promote our own prosperity, oil
the welfare of the country, we hope our friend
Will discontinue them.
Should he think proper to discuss any Other
Of the many useful subjects of life, we shall be
glad to hear from him; but we cannot consen,
TO give publicity TO essays, which speak unre-
servedly Of the dissolution Of the Union.
