H%- The Baltimore

G9s- The Baltimore Sun" says -
" The Message seems to have been we'll
received, and the course of the President,
in thus laying before the public gen
eral view of the affairs of the nation,
heartily approved. The novelty of the
proceeding gave considerable eclat to it,
as it had occurred to few, if any, that the
President was merely conforming to usage,
in waiting for the organization of Con-
gross. And the President was compli-
mented by many for the happy coup d
ciat, with which he had at once aston
ished and entertained Congress, and di-
vcrsiied the monotony of their unsuc-
cessful efforts to hurry up Speaker.
We have heard of the ingenious youth
who went to the party to know why he
was not invited, but we had not expected
to find so liberal an illustration of the
story in the President of the United
States and refractory Congress"

senaves in Congress- TO dsorgapzo the government that
civil might rage in Kansas and II need be for their
pemedated purposes to spread its desoaton through tho
States; that they have allegiance TO the government

years war; that they virtually leagud in purpose
sympathy with the monarches Of Europe against civil
religious liberty; that they in effect working much
to the overthrow Of institutions the same numbe
