heeu sent III, and we lay it before Our readers,
accompanied by few comments. such as have
occurred iouS ina hasly perusal.

afrsnkaess. and vigor. and a mere elaborate dis
'clissloR Of the promitIent questions ROw bel0ro
alhepeopls. &0nshese great points. the President
',discioses himself without reserve, M # willing
10 appeal to the judgments Of the people, and 10
stand or ta by their decision. This is rs it
should be. The cod dry, and fnrmal addresses
of royalty to the Representatives branch Of their
governments, do not become the Chief Magis-
gtrale Of free and sovereign people. They are
Ibis body of constituents; his. communications,
though addressed 10 tlIeir representatives, are
intended 10 be seen and read and considered BY
all the free citizens Of the Uhied States, who
constitute the sovereignty TO which he holds hin,
self i1atIy accountable. 1t Is under these i'm.
'pressions, we presume, that he has dwclt at

1t is, however, to that part Of The Message
