The Presidents NIcssage-Comments OF the
..r Press.

From the Philadelphia Ne,cs, December 7.
We have the pleasure of spreading before our
readers this morning the annual message of Pre-
sident Fillmore, delivered to Congress on yester-
day; and in doing commend it to their careful
perusal. OF less than ordinary length, it will be
read with more than usual interest and pleasure
by all who take interest in public affairs, and,
we cannot doubt, be generally regarded as very
able and statesmanlike document Plain, straight.
forward, and unvarnished in all its statements of
facts; bold fearless, and concise, yet moderate and
unassuming, in the expression of the views of its
author in relation to the various subjects to which
the attention of Congress is invited, it ia smooth
and elegant in its diction, and cannot fail to be
classed among the most able State papers which
have issued from the Executive branch Of the Co
vernment, and to place its author among the first
and very able statesmen of the Republic.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-12-09
From the Richmond Republican.

Like all the productions Of Mr.. Fillmore, THE
last message is a clear, able, and busincsske
document. Having given IL to cur readers yes
terday. we need not formally enumcrete it's points
and will simply say that the only sentiments OF
regret which 1t awakcns in our mind is that IL ia
the last message of President Fillmore. He leaves
the country in high state Of peace and prosperi
ty, fact upon which the country cannot express
its congratulation without remembering that but
fr the wise, patriotic, and noble course Of Willard
Fillmore. the public might now, instead Of enjoy.
ing peace and prosperity, be involved in disunion
and civil war.

The document is highly creditable to the Chief
Magistrate. It partakes of the character common
to Mr. Fillmores messages, in that it is terse and
lucid, aiming not at display Of any kind, but to
give succinct account in direct language Of his
msgisterial action, and respectfully to suggest
any legislation the propriety necessity of which
may have been made apparent to him in the dis
charge Of his Executive duties. But this last mes
sage rises to higher scale. It is an able State
document, indicating, on the writer's part, COM
prehcnsvcncss of view frmness of purpose and
a power of forecast that must increase the conf
dence already go generally felt in Mr.. Fillmore's
Administration. ...

From the Philadelphia Ledger.

The message presents, in a clear, succinct, and
satisfactory manner, the events of the past year,
including our foreign relations and domestic con.
dition. It closes with some well timed
remarks upon our duty a nation, and the pro
per policy to be observed to keep the country free
from war, free from debt and oppressive taxation,
which follow in the wake of war. The message
will commend itself to the reader for it's general
good sound sense and prudent counsel. ..
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-12-09
From the Philadelphia American.

The closing message of President Fillmore is a
document of very superior merit. Its doctrines
are sound, and its tone is unexceptiopable. On
the subjects which occupy the public mind, it ex-
presses the sentiments of the Administration clear
ly and ably. There ia neither mystifcation nor
reserve, but what it has to say it says out plainly
and boldly. Our foreign relations arc briefly but
satisfactorily explained. Our domestic condition
is properly presented. Without unnecessary and
tiresome detail all that 10 essential to proper
derstanding of our financial affairs is lucdy given.
The style of this paper is not less commendable
than its matter. Simple but forcible-familiar yet
dignifed-without pretension, and at the came
time Astounding in vigorous diction, it is eminent
ly creditable to it's author. .'..

the figure is upon most observers favorable.
But The combined statues of Columbus and
the Indian girl, placed over the carriage

figures 50 enchanting that it is difficult TO
leave them without many a lingering look
behind. They are twice as large as life.
To my apprehension, the figure Of the In

The Nominee brought us up several

wod4 q be more sfectaal in developing the
rssos1ces III oar Territory and hasteniAg
the growth of our town, than the establish
nepsheresqf daily press, conducted with
yigor. Agood daily paper, is the only ba-
sis upon which large, influential weekly
paper can stand. The chief obstacle to
daily paper in Saint Paul, is the want in
the winter, not only Of regular mails, but
often for many weeks, the want Of any mails.
We regard it therefore, Of the first and
highest importance. that mail route be
opened This season, on the west side of the
Mississippi river, from St. Paul to Du-
bique; and that next winter, we have a
daily mail rout through, il we have to pay
for il by private contribution. II the Gov
eminent has not force and liberalily enough
to keep a single mail route open, through
the winter, "a high up the Mississippi river
as the. Temperate Zone, let US see what
private enterprise will accomplish. We
hope the r. o. Department, will at least
the mail through on the west side, after we
have opened Il road, as it now pays to two
lines Oh the east side, for only pretending
to carry the mails. The east side is out Of
The question. IL is of no use trying. That
route won't do. It has been tried and has
always failed and always will. 1t is rough,
billy, impossible much Of the time, with
such streams to cross as the ST. Crox which
will no, be bridsed; Chippewa and Black
rivers, and worse than all, the Wisconsin;
aud is longer by nearly one third, than the
road vii! be on the west side.
There Is not Il more interchangeable man in
Minnesota, than MIR. Burbank, the Express
man. He lid his best, and failed in getting
our mails through. Alter he left the line,
the mails came through, until the streams
began to swell; and then, tho mail service
was infinitely worse than it would have been
in Burbank's hands; in fact it was no ser
vice at ALL On the west side, there are no
hills, no rivers but Cannon river Ito bridge
no streams that would be n hindrance-
nothing to prevent good road, and every
thing to encourage a settlement all the way
and If the road were opened, there would
soon be towns, villages, daily stages, and
Minnesota would never again be caught on
the 10Th Of April, isolated.
