Tsae Presidents Message.

i We had no comments 10 make upon
this national document, for we could see
nothing very wrong nor very right a.
bout it, only it appeared too short, and
yet too long. There are differences OF
opinion as 10 its meaning upon point 5
that divide the people, while on matters
that oil agree upon, it is perfectly com :
prshensib!e, and agrees with all-such
as desire for peace and prosperity, the
continued iayors Of prov idence, Sc
Its strongest enemies, and most savage
critics are amongst those who did the
most to elevate Gen. PIERCE to the
Presidential chair. This we regret
There are many Wings and Wbig jour-
mails that approve the Message, in mat
ter and sentiment, yet all perhaps are
either secretly or openly opposed to
the manifest indecision and want of cour-
age in its author in not taking an open
and fearless stand upon all the great ma
tional questions. Probably the Presi-
dent has acted wisely, but there is a fee
ling of disrespect among people against
this eternal compromising that so many
distinguished leaders aim at. The Mes
sages of Presidents ADA MS, JACKSON
and fillmore were out and out, and de-
clared for and against public measures
without eauivocations or euasions, and
all those men left the helm of the ma
ticn with the highest honors. Even
their errors were respected or suffered
t to be long since forgotten.
The Democratic Bulletin, Democrat
lc organ Of high standing, published in
Phlladelphia, deals thus harshly, though
perhaps justly with the Message:
sit is a weak imitation of Gibbon ::
the resemblance consisting merely in
certain turns of expires sion, without a
practice of Gibbons witness of tho't.
Quite one third, if not more of the
words might be struck out, without al
tering the sense. a Webster would
indeed, have written out the entire j.
IDEAS in one-fourth the space, that is, if
Webster could have possibly beaten
out ideas into such intellectual tin-foil.
Next as TO the matter. This is tho't
lnfinitesimally diluted as we have said.
In justice to the President it must be
conceded, that, when he makes up his
mind to speak like man, he can think
far more clearly as well as express him.
self more tersely. But in this message
ne has studiously endeavored to avoid
committing himself. Like Talleyrand,
he seems to believe that language was
Tade TO conceal thought. He conse-
queutly drenches us with words. He
balances alternatives and negatives as
dextrously as Chinese Juggler poises
straw upon his nose. He winks at the
compromise, and then winks in turn to
the Secessionists. He is "eyery thing
to every body"

prefer the old way TO any new born sys-

TEae Eastern Question.

The report Of an alliance between
France and England in order to compel
Prussia and A ustra to assent or refuse
TO cooperate with them against Russia
on the Turkish question, may be true or
not-but rather untrue, as it emanates
rom the New York H,raH. BY the re-
ported arrangement, England and France
undertake the settlement of this contro-
versy, by peaceable or warlike meas
ures, as may seem to them expedient.-
They demand of the Russians forth
with withdrawal of their troops from
the Danube-a refusal to be followed by
an immediate and joint declaration Of
war from England and France. Two
hundred thousand French and CORES
ponding English force would be des-
patched Immediately to the Rhine first
to compel Austria and Prussia to show
their hands, then to meet the Russis n
armies. Simultaneous movements of
French and English fleets TO be made
near Constantinople in the Black Sea,
for the purpose of annihilating the Rus
SLAMS in those waters. 1t cannot be
doubted that Louis Napoleon desires to
avenge the treacheries of Napoleon the
first, and that England enters the ALI
ance from the force of English public
opinion.

TWe learn by the Report of the
Postmaster General, that there is de-
ficiency of some two millions in his De-
partment-the expenditures being near
ly eight millions, while the receipts are
only six. This deficit is probably o'v-
III in considerable degree to the wan,
of economy shown in the contracts with
the varieu> steamship lines. IF these
contracts were put up to the highest
bidder, instead of being lavished upon
favorile lines and ship-owners, the ex-
penses would be greatly reduced. We
are pleased TO see that the Postmaster
General does not hint at an increase of
postage, even SO far as letters are con-
cerned. The country is resolved upon
maintaining the cheap postage sys-
TEN, even if the trifling extra expenses
of the post-office have TO be defrayed in
the same manner as the enormous ex-
,penditures of the army, navy and judi
ciary.

THE TREAsuRY.-We learn from
Secretary Gutherie that his department
Of affairs is in very fourishing condi-
ton. Since the 4th of March last, over
fifteen millions of the public debt has
been cancelled, and still there is ba-
lance of some twenty-eight millions in
the treasury.
In this state of affairs, the Secretary
thinks it would be very well so to re-
duce the Tariff, that the income from
customs would not amount to over some
forty-five millions below which point
it is not proposed to reduce it until the
public debt is paid This would leave
the revenue from the sale of lands to be
applied to the cancelling of the debt, 10
which purpose it is pledged. The Sec
retarj's prospect is 10 cancel fifteen
millions more Of the debt during the pre-
sent fiscal year.
His plan as TO the Tariff, is to increase
the free list by adding numb err of ar
ticles which now pay very little duty
and TO arrange all the duty paying 100.
and the other % per cent This equal
ization, he computes, will reduce the re.
venue about four and half millions.

QuALlrY OF BANDS YET IN MARKET.

QUALirY OF BANDS VET IN MARKET.
We also stated above, that the Ian ds
remaining unentered in each town, are
timber and prairie lands, Our opinion
is that by far the greater part Of them
are we'll timbered-some are covered
with young timber OF dozen years
growth, and were formerly clear prai-
gie. II is we'll known TO old settlers,
that oak, hickory, and other timbers
grow on our prairies so soon as the au-
tumnal fires are kept away, which is
generally done when few settlers come
into neighborhood. Since the present
extent Of population, and their general
distribution to each town and section,
fires do not extend far till they are ex-
tinguished. The consequence is that
perhaps fourth of the county formerly
prairie, is changing from prairie to tim
Der lands; and in few more years,
will furnish far more timber than will
be needed by any amount of population
short of 100000.
1t might be supposed by those who are
sgnorant of the facts, that all the best
iarm lands of Grant are taken up. The
intention of each person buying land is
always TO get the best, but there are so
many and opposite oppiaions as to what
rs the best, that the word ''best" has no
reference to any quality of land. There
yet remains plenty of every quality,
shape, and description of lands, that the
occupants have seected-all free at
$I,<5 per acre.
The quality Of soil, is known in the
east under the name Of hmesfone-that
kind Of rock furnishing the basis, un-
deriving The surface a, shallow depths,
IN all parts of the county. More next
