the announcement, the great Union flag was
presented by the Cincinnati Committee to the
Americans of Maryland, at the Maryland
Institute, on Friday evening last. The i'm
mensc hall was crowded by the friends of
Fillmore and the galleries were filled with
ladies. The flag, which is the largest ever
made in the country, is the same one which
was suspended over the Ohio river during the
campaign, on wire reaching from Cincin-
natl to the Kentucky shore.
The presentation speech was made by
Hon. j. Scott Harrison on behalf of the
American party of Cincinnati, it was highly
appropriate aud eloquent address. Hon. j..
Morrison Harris, for the Americans of Mary

flag,

CoNGREss.-Congrcss met on Monday. The
House consumed the day discussing the adj
mission Of Mr.. Whitfield as delegate from
Kansas. The Senate did nothing.
On Tuesday the message of the President
was sent in, and occasioned sharp debate in
the Senate. Mr.. Hale took strong grounds
against it for charging the people of the free
states with an attempt to usurp the Govern
ment. Tho Whitfield case occupied the
House, which still refused TO admit him.
On Wednesday, the death of Hon. John N.
Clayton was announced in both Houses: elo-
quent tributes were made to his memory, and
both Houses adjourned.
On Thursday the debate on the Message
begun OH Tuesday by Mr.. Hale, was continu-
ed in the Senate, and occupied the whole day.
In the House the Speaker announced the
standing Committees, which are nearly the
same as in the last session. The Whitfield
case again came up. while which was pend
ing the House adjourned.

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIORS; REPORT
The Secretary of the Interiors Report states
the quantity of land surveyed since last report
and up to the 30th Of September last, at &c.
S73 500 acres, exclusive of school sections.
The execution Of the graduation act has raised
many grave questions VIII enc all for the inter,
position Of Congress. He says it is important
that the matter be prom pity disposed of, eth
err by sanctioning and affirming the action Of
the Land Office or directing the patent to be
issued without further requirement.
The quantity of lard sold for cash during
the fiscal year, was over $3.50, 900 acres, and
the receipts therefore 50, 82l Ala. The tota
amount of land disposed of is over 80. 600, 600
acres. He suggests necessity for further
power being granted to the Commissioner OF
Pensions 10 suspend and diminish and dlscon-
tnue pensions when the reason for gra nting
them has wholly or partially ceased.
The number of patents issued within the
year will probably reach $500. The report
says that during the present administration
50 Indian treaties have been negotiated, 20 OF
which remain to be acted upon by the Senate.
By these treaties Indinan titles has been ex-
tinguished to nearly IT'S, 900 acres of land
The aggregate money consideration therefore
is Sll 1874 ,53S.
The Indians within our borders are sup
posed to number about 100000 The process
of civilization among the Indians has already
been attended with the happest result, and
gives promise of steady progress in the am
elioration of their physical and moral condi-
ton.

: Presidents Message.

We copy from the Baltimore Sun the fol-
lowing abstract of the Presidents Message,
which WAS sent in to Congress or Tuesday
The message opens with an appropriate
allusion to the obligations of the occasion, and
then proceeds to a pertinent allusion to the
late Presidential election, its results, and the
principles and policy which it has confirmed.
Especially the constitutional equality Of the
State; the constitutional equality Of each
and all OF the citizens of the United States
whatever their religion, and wherever their
birth or residence; and the inviolabilty of the
different sections Of the Union. And in all
this the President infers the people to the
Union and the Constitution
Further, he deduces Il om the action of the
people their condemnation of geographical
parties, and the marsLalling of one section
against another.
In pursuing this branch of the subject to
careful and general analysis of fact and prin-
ciple, the history OF slave agitation IS preseu-
ted in = compendious and authentic form:
and the popular fallacies which have led to SO
much agitation, violence and fanaticism ably
confuted. This historical review led naturally
to the latest phase of the slavery emeute de-
veloped in Kansas. and the course of events
in that Territory is briefly and pc,tincnty re-
referred to. The President congratulates the
country upon the restoration of order in Kan
sas and that without the shedding of drop
Of blood by the troops Of the United States.
Advancing to the financial affairs of the
country, the report of the Secretary of the
Treasury is referred to, and the following alb
stract presented Of the account current Of the
past fiscal year:

DEAR RICKETTS, In your last issue you
call upon ''Seio" to ''come forth from the
cedars of sodom' and take his place among
she correspondents Of The Wing. Now as
Scio happened to be one of the many good
Democrats of this place who sailed from here
on the morning of the 9Th of November for
Salt River, purpose supplying his place
not until he returns, for he does not get
back until the Second is reclaimed from Know
Nohingism, he is most assurcdly up there
for "long session."
The Broadway House, whose situation is
just at the entrance to the New Bridge, and
the removal of which has bafied for the last
six months, not only the Commissioners of the
county, but the Ches. & Del. Canal Co., was
torn down few nights since. Speculations
are rife as to who did it, but the conclusion
is that it was done by the Locofocos as that
is the only way they have of getting Know
Nothing out of his office in the second dis
trict.
MIR. David Palmer has nearly completed the
new Bridge over Back Greek at this place, and
we unhesitatingly say that is decidedly the
best work Of the kind in the county.
The g entlelnen of Chesapeake City have
started Debating Society to be held in the
Academy every Thursday evening. The
question for the next meeting is, "Was Jobs
Turkey Hen or a Colbert" AS the subject
is insxhaustible, we learn that the members
purpose inviting those gentlemen of Elkton
who were so very jealous in canvassing this
district with the hopes how delu sive,) of
carrying it for Old Buck. As the question
gives more room for argument than their plat
form and candidates, we will look for a great
cr oratorical effort.
E. Fl. Price, Esq, formerly of this county,
but more lately of the Gimor House, Balti.
more City, has taken the building known as
"The Sprig Hotel, changed the name to 1.-The
Cecil House, changed the arrangements in
side and outside, and it now is one of the best
hotels in the county. I commend him to the
patronage of the travelling Public.
The sidewalks of the town are now in a
horrible condition and people are beginning
to say that if the chief business of the Tow n
Commissioners is to shoot dogs, pen hogs and
geese and levy taxes, they had better "sell
out" to other and better men. I shall advo-
cate Reform Ticket from this time till May.
Turn out tho "old fogies" and let us have
younger and better men.
The trade upon the canal still continues
heavy, especially that from the tide Water
Canal" Notwithstanding the lateness of the
season the flows" arc unusually heavy.
