I that he was discharglng his DUTY, and he fe
solved TO accomplish his great end. He ha,
now spoken TO the nation in his Message. Iii,
whole conduct is explained-his principles ex
hlbited TO the gaze of the honest millions-and
his purposes, as the Chief Magistrate, frankly
and unreservedy proclaimed The People from
one end Of the land TO the other, have nobly re-
sponded 10 the pure sentiments promulgated
the voice OF APPRECIATION flies from lip to lip I'M
ri the approving strain rolls in an imbodlcd echo
from the utmost bounds TO the centre OF our
common country. This is The greatest reloard
a President can hope tor!
| But how is il with the REPRESENTATIVES OF
the People. The reverberating sounds APPROX
ing the conduct of the Executive have reached
their ears. Those who came hither with the IN
tent to revenge themselves on the one whom
they had branded with "perfdy," by casting
odium an administration that they could
not prostitute TO their base purposes, are pa
ralyzed, and stand aghast before the irowns
of their insulted constituents. Those who,
III moderation, commend the President for
yeong bill passed by the party that
contributed TO elevate him, are now forced by a
sense Of justice TO acknowledge his superior
wisdom, and if their first impulses are not over
come BY the corrupting and demoniac influences
OF subtle fdctionists will doubtless adopt the
measures recommended in the Message, and
faithfully adhere TO the Administration And
those who expected no favor (poliical) from the
one whom they had opposed az the balot-box
who were consistently prepared TO wage
war Of words against the Executive, have
lowered their arms, and seem 10 regard the one
whom they intended TO strike. more as FRIEND
than an enemy! Thusis il shown that PUBLIC
VIRTUE is not extinct Men differ in minor
things, but all love their common country. And
we trust that the present pause Of the political
elements-the apparent calm that pervades the
Capitol-s not 10 be succeeded by storm.
We pray for this. 1t is in the power Of the
Peoples Representatives 10 prevent il, and on
them will rest the responsibility if it should
come in startling terror The People, whom
they claim TO represent, have endorsed the mea-
sures recommended by the Presdent-the Pre-
sident Is immovable in the independent stand
tered his deliberate convictions, with view
solely TO the benefit Of his country, rather than
regard 10 sell or parly-and il only remains for
Congress 10 act. A few weeks, and all will be
known. The current Of events, now Temporal
rily pent up, must flow over. The eyes of the
whole country are turned TO the Capitol. The
Executive branch of the Government has per-
formed its duty and performed it nell. 1t now
remains for the Legislative branch 10 move.
We hope that Con will guide il right
But the People will be satisfied. If their
Representatives neglect their interests, or per-
versely labor 10 their detriment-they will reap
their scorn and punishment. They will be
tried by their acts, Nothing will be concealed.
While we fear the worst let us hope for the
best
