MESSAGE.
To The Senate and House Of

ZONE Senate ana House %
Representatives of the United States:
Notwithstanding the urgency with which
have on more than one occasion, felt it
my duty to press upon Congress the ne
necessity of providing the Government
with the means of discharging its debts
and maintaining inviolatc the public faith,
the increasing embaraassments of the
Treasury, impose upon me the indispensa-
bic obligation of again inviting your most
serious attention to the condition of the
finances. Fortunately for myself, in thus
bringing this important subject TO your
view, for a deliberate and comprehensive
examination of it in all It's bearings, and
trust | may add, for final adjustment of
it, to the common advantage of the whole
Union, am permitted to approach it with
perfect freedom and candor. As few of
the burdens for which provision is now re-
quired to be made, have been brought
upon the country during my short admins
tration of its affairs, have neither motive
nor wish to make them matter of crimi-
nation against any of my predecessors.
am disposed to regard, as | am bound to
treat them, as facts, which cannot now be
undone, and as deeply interesting to us all,
and equally imposing upon all, the most
solemn duties. And the only use would
make of the errors of the past, is by
careful examination of their causes. and
character, to avoid, if possible, the repeti-
ton of them in future, The condition of
The country indeed, is such as may well
arrest the conflict of parties. The convic-
ton seems at length to have made its way
TO the minds of all, that the disproporlion
between the public responsibilities, and
the means provided for meeting them, is

1t is rumored that the Cashier Of the

Correspondence Of the Louisville Journal.
CINCINNATI, April 3, 1912.

CINCINNATI, April 3, 1912.
The Washington correspondent OF the
Journal Of Commerce makes some state
ments concerning Mexican and Texan
affairs, which have not seen elsewhere:
"Thc Caddos, the Cumanchcs, and the
Choctaws, are all ready to Join the Mehi-
cans, and probably have commenced the
war, before this, as their allies. The Choc-
taws alone can bring into the field FIVE
thousand warriors. They arc much in
ccnsed against the Texans, and with good
reason. They, recently, in a marauding
which, by treaty, the United States is
bound to protect them, wantonly murdered
an aged and venerable chief who was
universally beloved in the tribe for his
wisdom, eloquencc, and virtue. Colonel
Pyckilovc, the Choctaw Chief now here,
says, speaking of this victim of Texan
barbarity, he was the Henry Clay of his
tribe"
The correspondent of the Journal of
Commerce goes on TO say:
"ln case we should become the ally of
Texas, in the contest, Great Britain is
bound, by arcccnt treaty with Mexico, to
espouse her cause.
1T is represented that Santa Anna's
party were anti-church, and the fall Of
Bustamentc's party exposed the wealth Of
the Catholic church to confscation. Santa
Anna, without compromising, merely took
million or two in advance, with view to
extend Catholicism in Texas, but with the
understanding, that, if this sum would not
suffice to christanize the rebel herctics,
he was two or three millions a year, or,
in fact, the whole revenues of the church."
The Madisonian, of the 29th ultimo,
states that the President has directed the
movement of 500 infantry and nearly 400
dragons to the neighborhood of Fort
Towson, on Red river, which will make
the force of General Taylor there 1900
men, to prevent the Indians ives: Of Ar
kansas and Missouri from taking part in
the war.
The Philadelphia North American, Of
the Goth ult., says:
"a lettos was received here last evening
from Washington, stating that the home
squadron, or portion of it, had been or
dered to Mexico, and that the same would
take out demand from our Government
for the surrender of the Santa Fe prison.
ers. For the correctness of this report
we cannot vouch."
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
United States Gazette says such rumor
prevailed in Washington. Also, that the
troops ordered to the Sabine were TO Bre-

IMPORTANT,


The Democratic Central Committee, dhas The
Fayette Clique, that august body against which the
Ozark Bird has so furiously raved. have Issued a
circular setting forth the time and place for holding
the convention to nomina to candidates for Congress
The place is Jefferson City; the time the frs,
day of June next.
We fear after al! the "ntriguing," managing"
"bargnining," corruption" fraud" ''decep-
ton" &C., that there will be only tuo that will
got taste of the "loaves and fishes" Congress
has, yet, done nothing with the superintendent
bill. is there any probability that 1t will be
acted upon--it will not at lea ST be acted upon until
after the convention has met. In this event, we
suppose the convention will anticipate the action
Of Congress. and nominate at least enough TO
meet the ap3ortionment. In the first plnce. IL
the npportionment is not made before the meeting
Of the convention, only too can be nominated I'M
der the present law, and the balance will be
ected with The provision that if Congress doe, not
pass the aPportionment bill they viii! have to take
"back seat"
This will make the proceedings Of the conveu-
ton so much the more interesting there being only
two that can certainly be elected the contest be-
tween the aspirants will BIZ much more animated,
in order to get the 'nside track"
Our room is limited, or would extend our re-
marks in reference to the convention. sc. We
would, however, make one request now. for fear
that W. should forget it-and that is, that they will
not nominate General Redman. We cannot bear
the idea Of losing MIN. Leave us him and take
who else you please. More anon.

THE CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE IN

ken or diminished, will be the distrust
among all classes of the community, and the
arrangement and decentralization in every
branch of business and all the interests OF
the country. Keep up the standard of good
faith and punctuality in the operations OF
the General Government, and all partial If.
Irregularities and disorders will be rectificd
bv the influence of its example; but suffer
that standard TO be debased or disturbed,
and it is impossible to foresee TO what de-
gree of degradation and confusion all finan-
cal interests, public and private, may sink.
In such country as this, the Representa-
tives of the People have only to will it, and
the public credit will be as high as it ever
was.
NV own views of the measures calcula-
ted to effect this great and desirable object
have thus frankly expressed to Congress
under circumstances which give to the en-
ire subject peculiar and solemn interest
The Executive can do no more. If the
credit of the country be exposed to ques-
ton; if the public defences be broken down
or weakened; if the whole administration
of public affairs be embarrassed for want
of the necessary means for conducting them
with vigor and effect, l trust that this de-
partment of the Government will be found
to have done all that was in its power to
avert such evils, and will be acquitted of all
lust blame on account Of them.
