Presidents Message.

Below we present telegraphic sy.
ncpsis of President Buchanan's first
annual Message, submitted to Con-
gress on Monday. This meagre
synopsis must suffice until the Mes
sage itself is received:
rs WAsHINGroN, Dec: S.-The Presi-
dent, in bis message, says, that owing
to the monetary arrangement of the
country. government loan may be
required before the close of the pres
ent session. The financial history
of lhelast forty years is one Of ex-
trayagaHt expansions In business, fol-
lowed by ruinous contractions. The
Federal Government cannot do much
to provide against a recurrence OF ex-
listing evils We must rely mainly
on the patriotism and wisdom, of the
States which should afford real
specie basis for our circulation.
He recommends the passage Of a
bankrupt law, applicable to all the
banking institutions of the country.
As Great Britain and the United
States understand the Clayton and
Bulwer Treaty, 10 a sense directly
opposite, he says the wisest course is
to abrogate it by mutual consent, and
commence anew. Oyertures for ad-
justment have been recently made by
the. British Government. in friend
" spirit, which the Pesident cordially
reciprocates.
With all Governments, except
Spain, our relations are as peaceful
as We could wish, and it is The Presi-
dents purpose TO send out Minister
with special instructions on all ques-
tons pending between the two Gov
eInments. with the determination to
have them speedily and amicably adj
justt.d if possible.
While our Minister to China has
been instructed to occupy. a neutral
position in regard to the existing hos
tilities at Canton. be will cordially
cooperate with the British and French
Ministers in all peaceful measures to
secure By treaty stipulations, those
just concessions to commerce, which
the Nations of the world lave right
to expect, and which China cannot
be permitted to withhold.
Our difficulties with New Granada
are, it is to be hoped, in fair train
of settlement. ina manner just and
honorable to both parties. The Uni
ted States is more. deeply interested
than any other nation, in preserving
the freedom and security Of all the
COMMUNICATIONS across the Isthmus of
Central America. including Panama.
The President recommends the pas
sage of an act authorizing the Presi-
dent, in case Of necessity, TO employ
land and naval forces to carry into eli
feet this guarantee of neutrality. and
also similar legislation for the securi.
tyof any other route across the 18th
mus in which we may ACQUIRE an
interest by treaty.

expeditions fitted. out against an In

the serious attention OF Congress. be-

cure that we should adopt such meas
ures as will be effectual il restraining

The war department has ne ap-
prehensions Of the fate of our
troops in Utah. The supplies cut
off by the Mormons were not Inn
portant, nor we're the cattle lost in
August essential to the support Of
the expedition. The number Of
animals of all descriptions with the
army, is. $4,000. The number Of
soldiers has been exaggerated, and
is but LOO The Department
now sees its way clear to the relief
of the expedition, by the organize,
ton Of a volunteer force in Califor-

in calling into action at least one

pose Of keeping the communication

The following arguments in e.

Of the Ohio Editorial Convention at
its recent session.
"What would you think Of
farmer who had raised a. thousand
bushels of wheat, and should sell it
to thousand different persons scat
tered VII over the State, and agree
to wait a year for bis pay from
each of them, and If one-half Of
them did not pay at the end OF the
year, he should give them another
Tbusbel of wheat, and agree to wait,
another year for bis pay, and thus
go on year after year? How long
would such a farmer escape bank

longer than publishers Of newspa-
lpers who follow such practice. 1t
costs the editor Of a weekly paper
as much to supply a thousand sub
Iscribers with it for one year as il
costs a farmer .to,raise a thousand
bushels of wheat. The farmer sells
his grain in bulk, and either takes

cash upon delivery. The editor
cannot sell his thousand papers in
a bulk. They are sold 20 thou.

he must wait until the end Of the
year before he can get his payment

With some novel features, was receut-
" determined ina court in Southern
Kentucky. A man Of wealth had an
intrigue, with a married woman,
whose husband was then absent. She
exacted a pledge from her pammour
for the payment of $4,000 in case
she should become eaciente. Her
hopes or fears in this case Eve don't

and refused. Suit was instituted,
