LANCASTER /:
TUEsDA MORNING. DEC. 10. 1929

PRESIDENTS MEssAeE. The Message re-
ceivea by express in Boston on Wednesday evening
last in little less than yty-t,co hours from WASH
ington, distance of four hnnared and thirty-sir
miles, This is the most rapid travelling we have ever
known in this country /; and is well enough except
from the danger incurred by man and beast.
The Message is of such length that much other
matter must give way to it, and hardly any room is
left for comment. In general we would remark that
it is very clever (Anglce) State Paper. 1t is
written with much ability, clearness, and precision,
long practised statesman, and great experience ad-
dress, and tact and who has been versed in the
framing of political papers.
His views on the tariff are such as will crafty the
North, Pennsylvania, and the West, and be equally
grievous to the South. Indeed his doctrine is heretl
cal al the South. and doubtless viii be viewed.
While we approve of very many things in the Mes
sage there are some that in our minds are very OBJ
iectiona We alude to his views in relation to the
Indians, the National Bank, periodical rotation in
subordinate offices, &c. &c. In speaking of our
differences with France and England, still unsettled,
he gives as reason for not communicating inorma-
tion on the subject to Congress, the iae period at
achich our Ministers to those Governments left the
United States As if no information of the state OF
affairs could he obtained from Mr. Brown, so recently
from France, and Mr. Barbour, from England. This
is an unworthy disposition the part of the Execu-
tive, as an opportunity offered of describing the
ersing state of the negotiation when our late Min
listers left France and England. There is also an
alusion to the court over which Judge Cranch pre-
Sides that is little too malignant for the Head of
Nation to make. The late administration is not
alluded to whenever it can be avoided-and when al
luded to- it is never in terms of praise. The res-
dent should remember that the general prosperity Of
the country, of which ALLOWING description is given,
results from the actions and transactions of former
administrations. He has found Rome prosperous
and happy; let him, when fanctus oficio, leave her
