PRESIDENT MEssAGE.-We gave in our
last full statement of the contents of this
document, having then no time to do more.
A more careful reading of it leads us to the
conclusion that we would hardly be justified
at this late day in filing our paper with it.
1t has little or nothing in it of Importance
Its statements of the actual condition of the
government in its several departments, for
eign and domestic, would not benews. The
substance of it is, we are at peace with the
world, with 70 present reason to apprehend
its interruption, and our domestic affairs are
in tiourishing condition in all respects.
When we come to those parts of the mes
sage designed as we suppose, to shadow the
future policy of the President, more infa-
ted, ambiguous, worIy, unmeaning non-con-
initial sort Of document, we have not lately
encountered. Nothing is approached direct
ly, and scarcely any thing called by its right
name. We are generally left to guess What
the President is talking about and guess at
his meaning when We get through. His talk
about the Pacific Railroad IS q fair specimen
of the whole. He is profoundly impressed
