msnced at the East on Sunday night, which
destroyed the telegraph wires, stopped the

ashore. At New York city the fall of snow
was light; but at Albany, and the region
round about, where, from last accounts, the
snow had been falling steadily for thirty
hours, 1t was very deep, and blocked up the

Respecting the Message of yesterday, We
Are gratified to ind that all which was pre-
dieted Of Its unexceptionable character has
been substantially verified. It is certainly
distinguished by moderation of tone and
freedom from all exciting od eoptandxss an.
pesls. It is an unambitious and perspicuous
account Of public affairs, announcing an nm
Precedented state Of prosperity and progress
ct home, and Of peace and amity in our rela-
fions abroad. It totally disappoints all those
who hoped or expected to find in it any in.
inaammatory appeals about Spain, or any
Young America" doctrines of progress and
manifest destiny, whether looking to acquisi-
tons on the Mexican Gulf, or in the iIIimita.
BILE Pacific. Indeed, had it not been for the
god-send Of our exploit at Greytosun, of which
the President certainly makes the NEST, no
would seem to have been embarrassed for any
stirring topic for the head of foreign affairs.
Happy for the country that this is so! It is q
new thing, and certainly subject of congrat.
nlation, to find the Message Of Democratic
President SO free from appeals to the passions
OF the country, 30 simple, clear, and unosten.
tatous In its exposition of the administrative
concerns Of the Government, and 30 commend
able for the business Of sentiment touching in.
tefnational rights and duties with which the
Message opens"
Ihe Union expatiates upon the Message,
which 1t conceives to be just the thing.

they had discharged that duty, and had been
After some delay the said message was 70
ceived and read, and ten thousand copies
thereof were ordered to be printed. The Sen.
ate then adjourned.
In the House, the drawing for seats was
completed, when the Speaker laid before the
House the Presidents message vetoing the
river and harhor bill of last session; which
was read and ordered to be printed.
On motion Of Mr.. Clingman its consideration
was postponed until Wednesday next.
Mr.. Dawson gave notice of his intention, at
the proper time, to offer o substitute for the
homestead bill
Various bills and resolutions were then in.
troduced and referred.
Mr.. Ingersoll offered resolution calling on
the President for the correspondence with
France upon the Soule affair; but withdrew
it on objection being made.
Mr.. Sellers offered the following resolution:
Rssolved, That the President Of tho United
States inform the House, if not incompatible
with the public interest, what was the object
or objects of the meeting or conference Of the
such meeting or conference was held in obs-
dience to instructions from the Secretary of

Gov. Seymours Veto Message; but to neglect some
detailed exposure of his cOlocatOn of reasons for de-

An indignant Judge replied to Fostering lawyer
Sir would have you TO know that when this Court
has made up its mind to decide in certain way it
"will never fail to find good reasons for its decision"
Nereckon this to be just about the case of Gov Sey-
m0ur. He concluded in advance TO veto the TIE npe-
BILL and he was bound to fnd some good reasons
for doing il.
Gov. Seymour ssys be oil jecis to the bill because it
allows The search of dwellings to find liquor Tne bill
does such thing. The clsuse on this poiu. is ex
plcit. Ii is as follows
Eut warrant shall be issued under this or the pre
cedng lection to search any dwelling house IN which o.

Intoxicating liquor has been sold therein by the occupant
