There are upwards oi.sixiy paragraphs
In the Presidents Message, and almost
every one embraces separate subject, IN
which every thing is said that was neces-
sary In document of the kind, and in
the most appropriate language. We do
not believe that in the whole range of the
annual messages, from all Of his Illus
iri5us predecessors" there is any one oil
them in which such variety Of informal
ZION has been communicated on points Of
public interest and importance, or where
the views and recommendations Of the
Executive have been stated in SO frank
and perspicuous manner; and the whole
has been condensed into a space not ex.
reeding the fifth part Of some Of the more
recent Messages. Ii well deserves TO be
made model for future communications
Of the kind, and cannot fail 10 give gene

An Appeal to Germanv,

There is in London democratic Republican
Association composed of earnest active spirits
like Mazzini, Ledru Rollin, and Arnold Ruge.
and other exiles for freedoms sake. A recent
appeal to the patriotic feeling of Germany, sign
ed by the above mentioned persons, has created
no little feeling in Germany, and indeed, wherev-
er i: has gained circulation. They call boldly
for GERMAN REPUBLIC. They say that the
Austrians, Prussians and Bavarians are SO many
Russians under different uniforms and flags
that from St. Petersburg the word of command
is given, and that Europe is Cossack from the
Volga to the Rhine, from the Danube to the Bal
tic. They refer TO the treacbery of the King of
Prussia, who nleditates negotiation merely to
provide himself a retreat-to appear TO yield, IN
der the menace Of numbers, to the irresistible for
css of Austria and Russia, or if drawn in by the
current, will march ito prepared, an arranged
defeat" which would preserve his throne, where
as a victory would give rise to revolution
Therefore, the Democratic Committee declare
that "to be Russian or democrat-such is the
alternative; all the rest is only pretence. In
such peril Germans are called upon TO free
themselves from their tyrants, who are the ser
wants of Russia, and to bless the day that will
permit them, Sin q sublime and formidable ri
sing, to conquer at once their independence as a
nation and their rights as citizens. "Le;, in ev-
cry valley, and from hill to bill, only one song

ence. Nil Sen.

KAY BY intelligence from Washington we are en-
couraged to hope for the speedy passage of the
Harbor Appropriation and the Cheap Postage Bills
The latter, however, hope will not pass without
some alteration from what we think is its present
shape. We should not be pcrtinacious in insisting
on the very lowest rates of postage that we might
conceive warranted or dem; II led, but we should be
very strenuous in demanding, that whatever the
are, whether high or low. they shall be based
principle justice towards the different inte-
tests and different sections of the country We
were opposed, while it lasted to the law which al
lowed papers to be transported 80 miles free of pos
tage, for however much it to our benefit it was
not just, for if it worth nothing to transport
papers so miles it was not to transport them 500,
and if it was worth something to transport them
800 it must have been proportionably expensive to
transport them 80. We know determinations for
different distances will be and should be made but
if there be any distance within which mail matter
can be transported for nothing, we cannot under
stand why those nothings may not be multiplied to
cover the Union What we want in this matter is
just and proper discrimination. We have no dis
position to have country papers protected at The
expense Of the city papers, and certainly do not de-
sire the latter protected at the expense of the for
mer. Let every thing depend for success upon its
merits. If our paper any other one has not in
itself vitality enough to live and get along without
people being compelled to take it, it has bust
ness to live. These remarks are induced by the
recommends ion of the Post Master General that
all papers be carried all distances for one cent.
This is manfestly unjust, and we are glad to see
that the New Y rk Tribune against its own pecu-
mary interest, objects to the recommendation. 1t
is unjust because the expense of transporting
papers arises of course, from their size, weight, and
the distance they carried and to carry them al
sizes, all weights, and all distances for cent
has no justice whatever in it. 1t may be worth
Just one cent and more, to transport one of the
bed blanket weeklies from New FORK to Wi consin,
but if it be- it is certainly worth much to
nv one of our small sheets five miles into the nte-
rior This would be discrimination in favor of city
and against country papers, with vengeance City
papers have now advantage enough over those Of
the country, but for oursef we ask no favors. Let
the government with strict justice in its post
age arrangements, and if we cannot live We will
consent to die.

vent you from seeing all the wicked acts going
on, perhaps pom will not be offended at my CAL
ling your attention to meeting which took place

apretty general agreement among the people
that they would not obey the constitutional laao
called the Fugitive Bill thought it best 10 let
you know at once so that you might take the
necessary steps to prevent their evil example
from being followed. There was the usual twad-
die about human rights, as if niggers had any
rights-some talked about whips, and selling ba-
bies, as if man had not right to do as he liked
aoith his oUn. Some were foolish enough TO tall,
about higher law, as if any law could be high

Crittenden but the nature of the speeches may

I AE 0hoVk, OCc. ~, lSCU.
At public meeting of the citizens of Pike,
held in the Presbyterian Church, Mr. BENZ
FELCH in the Chair, it was
Resolred, That believing the Fugitive Slave
Bill an outrage on humanity, breach of the
law of God, and subversive of the Constitution
of the United States, we feel it our duty to use
every means in our power, morally, politically
and religiously, to obtain its repeal.
That as this law in demanding of freemen a
service which they loathe, which their conscience
and the law of God condemns, demands of us
that to which we cannot consent without becom.
ing the n,eaneSt of slaves
That we hardly know which calls for our Sc
verer reprobation, the presuming insolence of the
southern lords i'll Debating this law, or the NEAR
cowardce of the northern traitors who gave i
their sanction.
That petition asking its repeal be circulated
through the town for signatures.
That copy of the above resolutions be sen
to the Kenosha Telegraph for publication viii

HIRAM JOHNSON, Secretary.

The southern members of Congress, appre-
hensive that the Fugitive Slave Bill may be re-
pealed, are trying to escape the danger, by me-
king great show of devotion to business. The
sham Of this pretence is thus set forth by the
Washington Correspondent Of tho Boston Chro-
notype:
But the plea is a lying one. II was go proved
by the action-I should say non-action OF
those who made the pretence, for the eff
forts of those really disposed to do something,
could not procure the consent of the House to
take action upon any bill. Great exertions were
made to induce the members TO take up the Riv-
er and Harbor Bill, and the Postage Reduction
Bill, or to take order for action upon them at
some future day, but they were unsuccessful
The time was wasted in fruitess war of tactics
the calling of Ayes aud Noes, motions TO ad.
journ, calls for teller, &c.,-until the House
wearied and out of patience, adjourned. From
this days proceedings learn the character of this
