The Governors Message was delivered
Dec. ed. Mr.. Bigelow sends us PAM
phlet copy. 1t is not lengthy, but we can
no: report its substance this week. His
Excellency sends in his celebrated "Marcy
Letter" as one of the documents. and
insists that it is his duty to look after all
men who have once been ci.izeus of Iowa.
We suppose he "keeps an eye out" Oh
the Pacific Coast, Nicaragua, Australia,
and other ''furrin parts" to see how the
helpless Hawkeyes are treated, when boy
ish indiscre,ion carries them beyond his
parental guardianship

Iowa!
CONGRESS.
We have not word OF Congressional
Proceedings to give our readers. The
Dubuque Tribune of the 9th announces
the arrival of the Presidents Message at
that City on Saturday last, and gives
very brief synopsis of It's leading points.
The Tribune scolds the President of
course, and promises opay more particu-
lar attention to his Message hereafter.
Il will probably be all over the country
before our next issue and as we have as
great horror of lons-winded document
IS the Tribune, We may content ourselves
With an abstract instead Of publica ion
of it. We like our Governors Message
for its brevity. GRIMES SETS a good ex-
ample in his respect. The Presidents
texts are The Victory Kansas, His Policy,
England, Denmark. Mexico, Nicaragua
ETC., with the usual Ora i.ule to Provi-
dence to open and close with.
GEN. CAss. i. is said has been offered
the post of Sec'y. Of S ale. in Buchanan
