The PresfLent's Message

The wings will fail in any attempt which they may
make 10 detrac from the value of the message. They
may complain of ts length They may rdcue lis abstrac-
tons and its availability tits all in vain, There If stands
monument of the sagacty which framed it, the labor
which erected it, the great and immutable principles
which il exhibits Even the Philadelphia Republic
ian opposition print Of the free soil charace pfonounces
il to be document extraordinary in several respects be-
sides its great length 1t very full and in that sense
at least very complete vndicaton of the policy OF the
administration and of the party which the President req
resents 1t admits that at has substance, facts, AMI
figures in it. which will not yield to defamation
and scraps of witticisn . and that 1.-THE wings will hare
an argument hand which they must meet fairly, or they
will suffer judgment to go against them by default before
the tribunal of the country"
The democratic press continues to do full justice to the
message The New Hampshire Patriot says that ''no
one should fail to read h, admirable paper long is
We never read more able, complete, and forcibe docu
ment of the kind"
From the Chanbersburg (Psl Sentinel

For the last several weeks, and at late hour OF the

been proving along Pennsylvania avenue, and insulting
ladies' and gentlemen in the most outrageous manner.
They have gone far in their disordery conduct

last On last Sabbath day-a day to be remembered and
kept hoy-a hack-oai OF drunken young were
riding up and down PenDsy vania avenue, haloong and
singing aloud profane songs. Such conduct is disgrace
full the metropolis OF the Union We would respect
fully direct the attention of the mayor of the city
these disordery night jewellers and breakers,
and advise him to rake up Capt Goddard, (who is desg
mated to be acting President the 4th of March nex)
and instruct him 10 that the night watch OF he city
attend their legitimate business, instead of negecng
their duties thus placing the respectable and orderly class
OF our citizens (who may happen to be going home from
