John Hale on the Message.

the Presiden; for his pitilul bid for Southern
support We extract from his speech in the
/ Senate.
6" have no righ, to assign any motive 70
the Presiden. for sending the message here
I under the circumstances under which he
transmitted it. [ shall not do So; but, sir,
there is a privilege which appertains to The
Yankee nation universally, ard that is guess
/ ing. That we have the right to resort to.
/ and cat CEl7 guess what the object was.
am not going to undertake to say, that the
sending of the message at The time when it
was sent, with the extraordinary doctrine
which it contains, had any possible relation
! to the fact that several Southern Democratic
State conventions were to sit about the Sth
Of January, and that it became important to
let it be known what were tho views enter
tanned by the President on certain points
before those conventions set 1t he had any
such view as that. wish to say to the Pre-
sdcnt, here from my place, that he spoke too
/ late altogether. He is like desperate poll
ticidn, or a spccu'ator of des perste fortunes,
coming in Just as the auction has closed who
makes n tremendous high lid, but the
article has been struck off to another "Gn
before he got in.
He is Just ~ c1crtually 'out Of the ring
as If he had held his tongue. 1t ia unklnd Of
those gentlemen who arc tho particular
friends of the President, t. let him labor
under surh dclu-lpu any longer There ,s
