From the Washington Union, Jan. 10.

One Of the most important duties OF Presi
dent of the United States. enjoined on him by
the constitution, is that Of communicating 10
Congress the external and internal state Of the
country. and, if he deems it necessary, recon-
mending such measures as he desires may be
adopted.
Every man who reads this message will see
at once that il embodies information essential TO
Congress and tho people, and that II was prop
err that both should receive it US early as posi-
bic. Certain important questions, meDacing
the friendly relations Of the United States and
Great Britain, were rapidly approaching
prompt action. Ifa House OF Representatives
cannot or will not choose Speaker, surely
there is no sufficient reason why every other
branch Of the Government should be arrested
or that the President should postpone inden-
nitely great constitutional duty
We don't say tn ugh parha,ls il - IA
we might not be far from the truth-that such
a state Of things existed at the time the Presi-
dent sent in bis message. But we win suppose
that desperate faction, or fusion Of factions.
having no common principle Of action, but an
inveterate hostility to democratic principles Of
and the administration by which they are rep
resented, should wilfuly and designedly prevent

the operations Of the other branches Of the Gov

try perhaps in a crisis Of peculiar daDger) to
be lef inert, incapable Of action. deienceless, or
in state Of allegiance as it were, for want Of
some Indispensable action of body which Il
playing possum,' and trying to make US be
ievc it is dead? II such is really the case. the
President must be dumb. because the House
cannot choose Speaker; and chaos come
again. because the House cannot choose a
Speaker! Surely, there must be some remedy
for such a state Of things; and if it cannot BIZ
found in the constitution, We know Of no other
resort but the great law Of necessity. If
Speaker is so indispensable, why, then, we must
have Speaker, by hook, or by crook, and
there is an end Of the matter.
