SON. ana Hard. in csuou..

The Administrstion may thank their stars
and DR.. Olds that collision was avoided be-
tween the two factions, before the session Of
Congress commenced. SrASros, Of, Ten
uessee presented some Hard resolutions to
the caucus for discussion and adoption; but
they had, for some cause adopted the rules Of
the House. DR.. Olds, the chairman enquir-
ed if they wished to debate the resolutions :
Whereupon dozen Treating Hards sprung
up and said, they not only ment to debate
them, but to pass them, and that iasfdnfer.
There the Doctor had them when he said
~ motion, under the rules Of the House,
giving rise to debate, must lie over one
day" The Hards squirmed and writhed
under the inaiction, but all of no avail. The
resolutions, it is said, were, virtually a mani.
festo against Marcy and Guthrie, and were
designed to oust them and put new Set in
The Administration may expect trouble
ahead, il this bathurst at the start is to be

There is no pretense ofisn express grant Of

straitest strict constructionists, have no diff

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We last week laid this document before
our readers at the earliest possible moment.
So soon that we had no time for comment
had we felt In the mood.
II is a quiet, adroit, non-committal paper,
neither strongly defining his position on any
particular question at issue, nor marking out.
any new festures of policy Of any great inns.
portance. He advances nothing particularly
provocative Of comment on any topic. He
goes round and round the Pacific Rail Road
question, and never gets up right face TO face
with it. On the question of the tariff he
shows pretty conclusively the advantages Of
a discriminating, protective tariff, which prn-
ciple will not be new to our stomach old
Whigsof AZ. t...s.
On the whole the message is just about
what might have been expected from the
man. In the whole course of the document
one cannot help being struck with the evi
dence manifested of endeavoring TO conciliate,
and harmonize serarate factions. No frank,
openness IN any part, and he seems to have
maze use of language for the purpose Of con-
cealing his own settled connections--oiten
resorted to by Statesmen. If he wrote with
the intention of steering clear of critical
comment he has succeeded most admirably
for it is too weak and shadow like to be
grasped by any mind.
The Philadelphia Bulliin, semi Demo-
cratic paper says Of 1t:
First as to its style. This is a weak imita-
tion OF Gibbon; the resemblance consisting
merely in certain turns of expression, with
out particle OF Gibbons witness of thought
Quite one third, if not more, OF the words
might be struck out, without altering the
sense. A Webster would, indeed, have
written out the entire ideas in one fourth the
space, that is if Webster could have pos
sibly beaten out ideas into such ntelle ctual
tinioil.
Next as to the matter. This is thought
infnitesimslly 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 himself more tersely. But
in this message he has studiously endeavored
: to AVOID committing himself. Like Tulleyrand
hc seems TO believe that language was made
to conceal thought He consequently drencllss
US with words. He balances .affirmatives q
negatives as dexterously us Chinese Juggl-
er Poises a straw upon his nose. He wink.
at the Compromise, aud then winks in turn
at the Secessionlsts. He is "every te
every body"

On Friday afternoon Of last week we visit
ed Mr.. MooRE's school, in Sompany with
few others. To say that we were pleased
would but poorly express our feelings on the
occasion. The visit being altogether unlock
ed for on the part of the school, they oil
course had no opportunity of preparation for
the occasion. The exercises, without asingle
exception, were highly cfeditable to teacher
and to scholars. .. ..,
We feel that We are expressing the sincere
desire of the teacher when we urge Upon our
citizens, and more especially the parents to
visit the schools oflener. It's All encourage
ment to increased exertion on the part OF
all parties, and it cannot but prove Prati-
ficution to the parents feelings to see the
rapid progress being msde ~ their children.

0J-Congress is again in session the
mighty lawmaking power of our republic
commences its labors quietly, and with no
flourish of trumpets. Evenly and harmon
iously work the great wheels Of our political
machinery, and, although measures may be
advocated and laws enacted which may prove
obnoxious to some yet, thanks to the spirit Of
our free institutions, "reason is left free to
comebat them" A foreigner must see in
the Inauguration Of our chief Executive Of
fcer, the regular sessions Of Congress, and
their matter of course way of procedure,
conclusive evidence Of the admirable work
ing Of our political system. Many long years
may they be the admiration and emulation oil
foreign countries!

vtRcrsrA.--By the message of Governor
johnson we see that the debt of this State
in Sept. last was Sis,o4i, ,675 80. He re.
commends an increased expenditure from the
Literary fund for the education Of the poor,
and advanced rate Of payment per scholar
that the services Of more able teachers may
be secured. As the charters Of most Of the
banks expire in 1857, and the Legislature has
biennial sessions he anticipates applications
for renewal Of the same, and recommends
that they be met promptly, and in the proper
spirit. .a..
He recommends the purchase OF Mt. Vern-
on, by the State. He dwells at considerable
length on the need Of legislation on the
agricultural interests.
Internal improvements, he says, are pro-
crossing with commendable raPidty, under
the Fastening care Of the Legislature.

any reflection on the present Board OF

WASHINGTON Cry.

Congress Is IN Session. The organization
OF the House was prompt, and to appearance
harmonious and satisfactory, land though Boyd
who was elected speaker, is not considered
the first choice OF the friends of the Presi.
dent, ne was not very Objectionable to them
and as Mr.. Forney, clerk was the Admins.
tration candidate, the elections o! officers ia
the House is considered as an Administration
triumph, and defeat of the Hards, or ad.
amantives. 1t is however, the belief of many
that the democratic members, cannot long
avoid serious conflict. A proposition was
brought before the caucus, that nominated the
House candidates, that would have tried the
strength Of the factions, had it not been sup.
pressed. There is in this congress, an un.
usual proportion Of new members, and tbut
increased the difficulty OF harmonizing the
opposition.
1t Ii very certain that the democrats in
Congress are divlded,--that the causes of this
division are such as will produce more or less
discord in that body. Each party has lis
organ in Washington city, the w ashington
Union on the one side, anda new paper, the
Seminal, on the other. The division has
extended to oil parts. .of the union, and has
made its appearance in most OF the States
The President has identified himself with the
secessionists Of the South, and has shown
favor to the Free Soilers of New York, and
has rebuked them in Massachusetts, through
his attorney general Mr. Cushing.
Little has been done in Congress, and we
cannot now foresee what is likely to be the
Ac1 st thuth hn,ix,
Important by the people. Little can be in
tered, in this Particular, from the message of
the President, which scarcely commits the
President To any one Important measure
This document has disappointed many of all
parties, who lind something, but not much to
approve, or dlsapprove in 1t, and know OF
but one OF the many political parties, into
which the people OF this country are divided,
that can agree with him in all his yiews.--
Ii rightly understand that rather equyocal
document, take II in connection with sundry
other matters, tending to show the purposes
OF the President, the South Carolina school
of politicians will be well satisfied with il. g.
will give to this administration their decided
support. How FAR the Soits the Free Soil
democrats VI New York, in consideration Of
their large share OF the spoils will sustain, an
administration 50 fully pledged to the ultra
Southern views may be known in time.
The expose OF the State of the Treasury,
