THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

A large portion Of our paper this
week is occupied with the Presidents
Message. We consider it one of the
ablest State papers we have ever
read. The style is clear, perspicu.
Gus and comprehensive, and the va.
rious subjects it embraces are discuss.
cd in a mastery manner. The late
Cuban difficulties are treated of at
length, and the statements set forth
show conc!usively that the course
the President has pursued through
out the whole matter, was such as
his obligations Of office and a proper
regard for the honor Of the country
and preservation Of the natio al faith
required. Blu. common, is unneces
sary-lhe message has been spread
before the country, and will be read
with avidity by every one who feels
the least interest in national affairs
We believe the opposition will find
but little in it to cavil at, however
much they may be disposed to object
TO some Of its recommendations.

beginning to talk little about suit'

themselves for some time past with
the hope that the wing party of the
State was about to be shivcred to
pieces. Failing of that, they are be.
ginning to trail their guns upon each

notice good many important mea.
sures have been introduced, although
but few bills have been finally acted
on and passed into laws. We learn
by gentleman direct from Nashville
that the subjec! Of internal improves
ments is the absorbing topic, and that
the feeling to grant State aid TO pro-
minent works is every day becoming
stronger, and that general bill, en-
bracing a number Of enterprises and
an amount of means, say six millions,
for iron and equipments, will in all
probability be adopted. In regard to
loans Tor building railroad bridges, it
is not so we'll sctted--t are many
members who would be willing to
extend the aid in one or two cases.
but fear the precedent and will con.
sequently oppose the policy.
In another column we copy, from
the Nashville Banner, the general
outlines Of the bill reported by Mr..
Houston, chairman of the committee
ofinterna improvements in the House.
1t will be seen that it embraces a
number Of important works, among
them the Fast Tennessee and Vir.

~ The Wing members of the Virginia Leg
%islature, before its adjournment, issued an
able address to the people of the State, which
has been highly commended by the press. We
respond fully to the sentiment expressed relative
to Mr.. Fnlmore's administration:
AS Wings, we congratulate our party and the
country on the entire fulfiIIment of the Wing
assurances during the last Presidential c%onvass,
that Mr.. Fillmore would prove sound on the
questions that effect southern safety. OF
course, we may equally congratulate them on
the Justification of the injurious predictions and
accusations, so boldly and indiscriminately made
against him, by his adversaries. His patriotic
performance of his high duties-his wise, right
and firm conduct under every difficulty, have
vindicated our faith in him and endeared him to
all good citizens. In his hands the fugitive
slave law will be faithfully executed, and all
combinations and associations from whatever
cause, proceeding to defeatit, will be disapoin-
ted of their purpose. We rejoice to be lieve
that in this ausp:cious result the efficacy of our
federal government to accomplish the purposes
of justice, enforce obedience to its authority
and in all things fulfill the expectation Of its
founders, will be demonstrated in a manner
that cannot fail more strongly to cement the
bonds Of the Union, and convince the enemies
Of the utter futility Of all attempts to accom-
Plish its dissolution.

o. The Washington Correspondent Of the
journal Of Commerce, comments upon the
embarrassments which Congress has put up-
on the Executive Departments by stinting
the necessary acquisitions of the War Depart
,ment. We quote
aThe Government has sent some horses to
New Mexico, and it appears that the infantry
are to be mounted. In order to lesson the
expense of subsistence and forage for this
force, measures have been taken to raise pork
and beans for the men, and provender for the
horses. This interesting acquisition of ours
New Mexico-presents a rare field for agri-
cultural experiment.
aAccording to all accounts it would bcggar
Christendom to undertake the support of a po-
pulation there. A gentleman well acquainted
with the country says that the best thing TO be
done with it is to give it back to Mexico, with
abounty of ten millions-and, if she refuse to
take it back on any terms, to 60 to war with
her on that score, and force her to resume. it.
1t will be a greater sink for the public money
than even Florida has BEEN"
