turning and overurnng in your office lately
For the last few days have hardly known
what TO make of the Fountain. IL seems to haze
burst forth ancw. Its appearance is so much
improved-its spirits seem SO enlivened-such
an air Of animation has been thrown around it.
What is the meaning of all this hope, at
any rate, it augurs well. 1t cannot be that,
like the dying swan, its tone is SO much sweet
ened because it is about to expire. But, be the
cause what it may, one thing am sure of-a
sudden, and most agreeable change has come
over our little favorite. Should it continue to
improve at the same rate, it cannot be long be-
fore its tens of friends will become hundreds,

THE LATE MESSAGE. On curefr


u Election in Connecticut,nc Monday.
THE LATE MESSAGE. On careful
examination ofthis document, we cannot see
that it is portentous of war to any extent be-
yond what was opprehendcd before. 1t is to
be particularly observed that the Executive
communicates no ne,o .factsj he docs not appear
TO be in possession of any details of occurrenc-
es or probabilities, which are not known TO the
Senate just as well ms to himself,
Consequently, his advice TO increase the ar
my and navy is a mere matter of opinion-just
what he might have said, had he been n mem
Der of the Senute-opinion, which members of
Congress may fall in with or not, just as they
form their Judgment upon the same facts known
I TO them, as well as to him
We look upon the message therefore, rs rnth-
er gammoning affair,--a species of Execu-
tive trap, to see FLY solemn phrase and official
impressiveness, Congress can be induced TO
vote good round sums for regiments and squad
rons, (and o6iccrs) with which apparatus .fas-
tened upon us, after the present alarms are O.
yer, the Executive can enjoy, what all Execu-
tives banker after, the pleasure and dignity of
having something to commando fine army
and splendid navy to make noise about,
and to show off with
This has been the constant struggle on the
Executive side for years. The Executive
is always wanting more soldiers, more
ships, more forts, more guns, than Con-
gress is willing to grant, and long expc-
rience has shown, that Executive ministers are
always taking advantage of panics and glooms,
to get what they can't get when Congress and
the country are satisfied with relations and
prospects of peace,
| We could not speak in this strain, if the
Message had revealed any thing of n decisive
import, not known before, upon which as fact
thc Executive recommendation was based. But
plainly the message is simple affair of argu-
mcnt and opinion, entitled to consideration as
such, hut as such, only. Observe, Mr. Polk
says--'sin my annual message, recommended
an increase of force. Since then, the affairs
of Oregon and Mexico remain unsettled. -

well as the advice ofthe FEATHER of his coun

then has Congress gained by the Message!-
