The Presidenl,s NIessage.

The Presidents message, which we have had the
satisfaction TO lay before readers is an admirable
document Statcsmanlike in conception, and lucid in
composition, it is highly crcdtable specimen of
State paper. Its great length is fully atoned for by
the mastery exposition of the causes of our war with
Mexico, and its graphic history of the operations of
our government, both before and since the commence
meRt of hostilites 1t affords triumphant refuaton
of the calumnious assertions cast upon the govern
mont, by those papers whose only sympahies seem to
be enlisted the side of our public enemies be those
enemies who they may and whose vision is so clouded
by partisan prejudice, that they can see nothing in
our own governmen: but wrong and outrage, and
nothing in our enemies but injured innocence The
reason given for the extended view presented in the
message, of our relations with Mexico, is Contained
in the following extract which at the same time ad-
ministers digni6ed rebuke to the reasonable spirit,
which during every stage of these difficulties has
manifested itself:
deem 1t my duty to present to you, on the pres
ent occasion, condensed review of the injuries we
had sustained of the causes which led to the war;
and Of its progress since its commencement This is
rendered the necessary because of the misappre
tensions which have prevailed to some extent as 10
its origin and true character. The war has been
represented unjust and unnecessary, and as one of
aggression on our part upon weak and injured enc
my. Such erroneous views, though entertained by
but few, have been widely circulated only at home
but have been spread throughout Mexico and the
whole world. A more efectual means could not have
been devised TO encourage the enemy and proract the
war; than to advocate and adhere to their cause and
thus give them aid and comfort"
The discussion of the other questions of a national
character, is brief, pertinent and comprehensive
II is not our intention to give exposition of the
message, for the that full justice cannot be
done to it, except by perrsa Our only object is to
express qualification with its contents and to ask
for it what we hope it will receive, attentive and
candid examination, by every one of our readers
