PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

IFslN NC opening OF uN message IS deVOted TO o
Ireview' Of the condition of the domestic inter
ests Of the country. Its agricultural. mining,
manufacturing ard commercial interests are ID
q prosperous condition, and the steady advance
mcnt Of the wealth and population Of the Union
betokens the predominant spirit Of intelligence
and patriotism which have ever distinguished
the people Of the United States Of America.
He alludesto the-late national election, md
says that the people have assented to the con-
stitutionas equality Of each, and that all the
States Of the Union, as States, have affirmed
the constitutional equality of all citizens Of the
United States, as citizens, whatever their relis
gion, Or wherever their place Of birth or
residence. !
They have maintained the inyiolability Of
the constitutional rights Of the different ssecl
lions Of the Union, and proclaimed their de-
voted and unalte.able attachment I'd the Union
and the Constitution. He empliatically con.
dennis the idea Of organizing in The United
States mere geographical parties, and iof
nlarshaling in hostile array the different parts
Of the country. /
lie continues at much length an account Of
our sectional controversy, and condemns in
inequivocal terms the action Of the Abolition
party at the North. He believes that the great
body of that party who inconsiderately took
this fatal step, are sincerely attached to the
Constitution aud the Union.
