The President's Message.

We give this document to our readers to-day.
1t is the strongest Federal paper ever issued in
the United States. He has drawn the sword, and
with it writes his coercive threats. He remembers
to forget that the South cannotbe coerced. ),

from the Report that the Society is in a flourish

A few Things.

Autumn is at hand and we welcome il. The
summer just passed will long be remember,
ed. IL was one Of torrid heat-one whose
mornings and evenings seemed sultry and
unrefreshing, and whose mid days almost
blazed with caloric. II was emphatirally
the season when it would have been especi-
ally pleasant to have stripped off the flesh
10 sit in the bones" The deaths from the
intensity Of the sun were alarmingly nu-
merous, and at no period was an individual
entirely safe it labOring violently and exposed
to its burning rays. AT such a time the health
ofour city was impaired, and business neces-
sarily checked. The cholera appeared
among u.s. and numbers fell its victims. 1t
has left US. Pleasant weather has returned
and our citizens are healthy and active in its
enjoyment. Those summer nights, whose
heat parboiled us and threatened, if we
slept, to re-boil US, are now remembered as the
things that were. In their stead we are blest
with such as render sleep sweet and invigo.

fresh impulse and is gaining more than its
wonted briskness. Such is the change and
whe but welcomes it.

Among other appointments recently con-
firmed by the Senate, we notice that of l.. l.
Watson, Esq, as Postmaster at Vincennes.
Mr.. Watson has proved an efficient, faith
ful and popular officer, and his confirmation
was matter of course. We understand
however, that few office seeking hangers
on Of the Wing party.a at vincennes, backed
by few idle progressive Democrats, are
hors de combat by this circumstance. For
months past the hangers on have kept them
selves alive by the hope of supplanting Mr..
Watson, while the progrcssives have grown
fat with laughing at their own wit, and the
folly of their dupes, who could SO easily be
led 10 bite at file. We hope they will all
now find some new and agreeable way to oc-
cupy their leisure.
Mr.. Watson has exerted himself to Tor
ward our application for a daily mail up the
Wabash (now secured to ss) so that we OF

mes, have reason TO feel gratiied at his con-
firmation, and the consequent defeat of bis

A MONSTER BUILDING.-Thcrea appears TO
he no farther room for doubt that the great
Worlds Exhibition Of 1851 will duly come of
in London. a plan for Il building has been
accepted by the commissioners and immcdi-
ate steps will be taken for its erection The
selected plan is for conservatory. which is
TO cover eighteen acres and TO be 10 feet
in height, (that extreme hight being rendered
necessary in order to cover Il group of trees
not allowed to be rcmoved.) Galleries are
to be prepared in case the ground floor will
not afford sufficient space. 1t will require
100000 square feet Of glass tweny- four
miles of one description of ''guiter" to hold
the panes, 2l7 miles of what is called by the
glaciers ''sash BAR" and in the construction
1000 tons of iron will be expended. On the
ground floor there will be eight miles Of Ia

To the Editor of the Journals
SIR: Below you have the metes, bounds

generation in this township, are as follcws:-
1st Three Trustees for the whole township
and. 2ndIy. One Trustee for each of the sew
en- districts--the voters in each district voting
only Tor the Trustee Of the district in which
they reside; and, at the proper time, voting
for the Trustees for the township. That per-
sons who are well qualified, and who feel and
will take lively interest in the establish
ment Of our Common Schools, should be cleo
ted, none will gainsay. five start well we
shall be likely to 90 along well-hence the
propriety of selecting proper persons to fill
those important Offices. would suggest that
as soon after the election as practicable. the
Trustees should call meeting OF their body,
and request the attendance Of the teachers in
the township, as well as the parents and
guardians oil chlldren-at which meeting
there should be adopted a more systematic
mode of teaching than is now practced, and
series of books to be used in the schools OF
the township If this were done, much la
Dor would be saved TO the teacher, and the
child would acquire knowledge more readily
Again, should the parent or guardian remove
from one district to another, they would not be
under the necessity of purchasing for their
tor, all should remember that the true mode
of giving strength to our nation, is to enlight-
en- the minds of our citizens, for
IT'S education forms the mind
Just as the twig is bent
The trees inclined.

On Autumn FLOWERS.

On Autumn Flowers.
Those few pale Autumn flowers!
How beautiful they are
Than all that went before,
Than all the summers store,
How lovelier far
And why? They are the last
The loSt--the last!
Oh by that little word
How many thoughts are stirred
That whisper of the past!
Pale flowers!-pale, perishing flowers
Ye're types of precious things,
Types of precious moments
That fit like lifes eDjoyments,
On rapid, rapid wings.
Last hours with parting dear ones,
(That time the fastest spends)
Last tears in silence shed,
Last words half uttered,
Last looks of dying friendsl
Who but would iain compress
A life into day;
The last day spent with one,
Who ere to-morrow's sun,
Must leave us, and for aye7
Oh! precious, precious moments
Pale howersl ye're types of those
The saddestl sweetest dearest
Because, like those The nearest
To an eternal close
Pale flowers pale perishing flowers
q WOO your gentle BREATH
leave the Summer rose
For younger, brighter brows,)
Which tell of change and DEATH
