PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

LOT document. Ii IS so very long that we
cannot get il all on the inside of our paper,
with such other matter as must APPEAR
referring TO publish it entire in one mum.
Der, we lay it over this week, and shall is.
sue our next paper. containing The entire
message. in the early part of next week.
The Republican Expressed" the message
from Washington, and had i. printed in
little over four days after it was printed in
Baltimore. 1t was received at Columbia
on Thursday morning, and a copy of ii
brought to this place on the evening of the
same day by s. YOUNG, Esq, to whom we
are indebted for it. The mail due yester-
day. which will bring the message, is not in
a, this writng-Friday, o'clock.
In the Senate, on Tuesday, the message
was received, read, and $500 copies order
ed to be printed
The House transacted some business be.
fore the message was received. During
its reading the attention to its contents was
very general. and printed copies were
placed in the hands Of members, who fol.
lowed the reader. When the clerk read the
Presidents excuses for giving free pass to
Santa Anna from Havana TO Vera Cruz,
general laughter, by way of ridicule, rang
through the Hall. The message occupied
quite two hours in the reading, and will
receive the criticism due so long and i'm.
portant State paper.
Some of the Presidents declarations in
regard to the Mexican affairs are plumply
denied, and the narrative of events is being
generally pronounced to be faulty, and in
some respects untrue.
A motion was made for the printing of
$4,000 copies Of the message, with accom-
panying documents, and 10000 without
Mr.. Thompson of Miss, with reasons
given, opposed the printing of the large
number.
Mr. Payne, Of Ala, advocated the larger
number. He was for disseminating the
Presidents views in regard to the war,
among the people. The conduct of certain
presses in opposition TO the war policy, he
regarded as little less than reasonable, and
said that il would be so esteemed in other
countries. ..
Mr.. Robert Smith, of Illinois. with an
eulogy. on our German population. moved
the printing Of 5000 copies of the mes.
sage in German, which was not agreed to.
Mr.. Thompson, of Miss, succeeded in
amending the original Resolution accord.
ing TO his wishes, and only $4,000 of the
messages are ordered, and these with the
accompanying documents and none with
out. This is an unusually small number.
Mr.. Davis, of KY, offered the following
Resolution
Resolved, That the President communi-
cate to this House any and all orders of
instruction to Gen. Taylor, Gen. Wool,
Gen. Kearney, Capt. Sloat, Capt Stock
ton, or any other officer of the Govern
ment in relation to the establishment or
organization Of Civil Government in any
portion of the territory of Mexico which
has, or might be taken possession of by
the Army or Navy of the United States.
Also, what form of government, such off,
GERS, or either of them, may have estab-
lished and organized, and whether the Pres
ident has approved and recognized the said
government.
Objections were made to the Resolution
by Mr.. Cobb, of Ga, and others among the
Administration members, when
Mr.. Davis moved a suspension of the
Rules, and asked for the yeas and nays
which were ordered.
The House adjourned, without taking the
vote.
