The Presidents Message.

We have been waiting for the last two days
and nights, ready and willing to give to cur
readers the message Of President Pierce, but up
TO late hour last night it had not arrived, and
as the best substitute at hand, we give con-
denscd synopsis OF it, and when the document
shall have reached US, may and may not give 1t
entire. We learn from the Chicago Tribune from
which we take this extract, that the delay was
caused as follows: vi f's.t s7
Postmaster Cook received a sealed package
Yesterday from Washington, containing copies
| of the message. The e+package was brought on
| by special messenger, with orders, that 1t
| should not be opened, until telegraphic des-
patch had alinohnced that the message was be-
ing read in the House Of Representatives. No
| such despatch was received, and, consequently,
We were unable to get it. =" 15.s"1
We kept the paper open until late hour
| last night, hoping to give the message to the
| readers of the Tribune this morning But the
| the FIGHT over the admission OF Whitfield, dele
gate from Kansas IN tile House, probably pre-
vented it from being received and read there

| nit him. A motion was made TO reconsider aud
the the PRO slavery men doubtless, were active

\ can give no details.
We may congratulate our rcders, however,
! when the message does come, that it will be the
last which they will be called upon to read from

appears that it is believed in some quarters that
the southern commercial convention, which is to
meet at Savannah on the stb instant, will be
perverted to political ends by ultraists OF the
South Carolina proclivity. Upon the mere pos
s;bity of such a thing, the Mayor and aldermen
of Nashville, Tenn, refused by'a vote Of II to 6,
to send deega,es.-The Banner Of that city re-

There never has been any good reason why
