SATURDAY, DECEMBER ID, 1914.

nPBy continuation of successful ex-
presses, the message Of the President was
received in ST. Louis on Monday last, and
in this place, by regular mail, on Thursday
evening. If no expresses had been en-
ployed, this document would not have
reached here before next Tuesday evening,
and our arrangements for this paper were
so nearly completed when it arrived, that
il was impossible to publish document of
such length in the present number. twill
appear in our next.
A large portion Of the message is devo-
ted TO an expose Of our federative system
of government, and to the Texas question,
which is considered as settled in favor of
annexation by the late election. 1t also
contains grave matter in relation TO Mex
leo, which cannot be lilly understood until
the accompanying documents are printed
The German customs Union had refused
to extend the time for the ratification OF
the Zoll Vorein treaty, laid on the table at
the last session Of the Senate, but hopes
are expressed that such an arrangement
can vet be effected. The Post office de-
partment is out of debt,--the whole of the
national debt falling due in this year has
been paid, and there is still surplus Of
more than seven millions. The members
of the cabinet are highly spoken of,--and
generally, the affairs Of the nation are rep
resented as in highly prosperous condi-
ton. We have no time for a further ex,
preston of opinion this week, but may
have something to say hereafter.

The New York Courier has Wash.
ington letter, the writer of which tells this
tale:
But there is another still more important fact
that has escaped public observation. About six
weeks ago, this same Mr.. Pickens, who was Cal
houn's wire puller at the Convention, was sent
on special mission 10 Gen. Jackson, to accom-.
modate any remaining misunderstanding that
might be smolhered between the Old Hero and
the Nullifer, whom he threatened to chang as
high as Haman," A perfect reconciliation was
accomplished, and Mr.. Pickens returned to
South Carolina fully satisfied with his visit and
stated openly that Gen. Jackson had said "NIr
Polk was Free Trade man and as such ought
to be entirely acceptable 10 South Carolina. -
This report Of Mr.. Pckens and his mission was
made at Jones Hotel in Charleston, by Colonel
Barnard E. Bee, distinguished leader in the
Notification tempest, and moro recently Charge
d'Afaires Of Texas to the United States
