JOHN p. HALE ON THE PRESIDENT,
MESSAGE.
What M Buchanan is grateful for-Our Relation
With Austria-Who agifafes the Sdrery Question.
When the Secretary of the Senate had
finished reading the Presidents Message Mr.
Bsler moved that twenty thousand copie.
Of it and the accompanying documents be
printed for the use of the Senate-where.
upon Mr.. Hale said:
Mr.. President, it has become the custom
custom which has been introduced within
n few years past, for gentlemen in the SEN
ate to express their sentiments upon the
message on this motion. think that was
the case two Or three years since, when on
a similar occasion, opinions were promul-
gated in regard to our foreign policy, par
tcuariv with reference to Central Amer-
can affairs. a distinguished Senator from
Delaware, not now living, (Mr. Clayton }
and think several other Senators, awaited
themselves OF that OCCASION to express their
sentiments on those topics. Now, sir, if
the President, in this message, had confined
himself to what believe his constitutional
rerogative, that is, "frOm time to time to
give TO the Congress information Of the
State of the Union and recommend to their
such measures as he shall
judge necessary and expedient,' let the char
acttr Of those measures be what it might. |
should not have felt called upon TO say any,
thing on this occasion; but think the Pres
ident has abused his constitutional prerOgn-
tive, ana gone ont Of the way to intcrpolate
Il statement Of transactions that have long
sircc trauSpired, and that have nothing to
do with any recommendation which he has
seen fit to make, and which statement in my
humble alignment, is not consistent with
the truth of history: and, aS IN humble in
dividual Will not permit it to 20 to the
country unchanged.
1t gives me, however, great pleasure on
this occasion to say that | cordially. entire
ly, heartily, and enthusiastically agree will,
the President in his first sentence. and that
is this :
'Wh"n We compare the condition Of tic country at
lh" irv>rHt day VIII what It W,~,lr war a., at the
meeting "t Congress. We Rave nn for graIiue
/" jLat Almighty IT clrc which has never fiI," iu
n'crp">e FIR "ur rcl!ci at tie most critical periods @:
our hst"!.'
TO that sir, most cordially assent: I: and
| should have felt that the President had
been d"rclict in those obligations of pie'y
which he is so fond Of displaying in his
if he had failed to take notice of
the happy change which has taken place. and
which, III its Occurrences has been especially
manifested in his own State. think he
has seen the teachings of Providence
brought to his own door in such manner
that he cannot fail to contrast with the con-
ditlon Of things that existed II year age
their present condition in his own State and
his own country and his own city. com
mend him for his ''gratitude," carrying ont

"J,, feels the rod.
Yet h.v-re> tiyi-'
| cannot fail TO recommend the call whicl
he makes upon Is for gratitude at the very
different condition which the country present:
now from what it did a year ago. agree
with the President Leariily in that, and tha
| am not certain that shall not consent to
the printing of Il large number of copies of
the message, SO that the country may SCI
how the President feels ,,undev this admins

the President makes of our foreign affairs
generally. True, he says there is little
difficulty with Spain, and some with Grcn
Britain: but with all the rest of the worll
we are happily at prac". did not expect
sir. that when the President came to com
mcnt upon our foreign relations he woult
condcscend to inform US what alarming EN-
rrgcncy existed in reference to our dplo
matte relations with Austria, that rendered
it so imperiously necessary, immediatel,
succeeding the Pennsylvania election, t.
make new appointment to that country
and | waited with a good deal of i'm
patience to find out: but 1t seems that there
has been nothing there: Austria has beer
peaccablc. whilst some other nations have
not done everything they sho'ld do, there is nc
complaint of Austria. 1t seems to me that the
President, by his utter silence in what induced
him to act with such hot haste in reference tc
Austria. leaves fair inference that it was
the change of affairs here instead of il
Austria that caused this prompt and ener.
getic administration of the executive func.
tons, in sending Il minister to that country.
Well, sir, sympathze with the President
in regard to that matter. admire the
ready zeal with which he stood lowering
round the battle field Of Old Berks, catching
up the wounded. | have read, and the
civilized world have read of, and admired
the hcroi>m, with which that noble nader
from England, Florence Nightingale, had
gone to the Crimcan war, and seized upor
the wounded, and with the plastic hand OF
woman's affection, dgne wha, she could to
relieve their miserics and agonics. But, sir
we have Il Florence Nightingale that shall
divide the admiration of the world, that has
stoo! around the battle field, caught up the
wounded and hurried them away to the
hospitals of Austria to be nurscd and
he has not even let them stay upon the field
Of their conflict to be met by the rcproaches
Of those who might exult over their fate,
| leave that, however. | concur with the
President ou these two points.
Sir, great many of us are constantly and
reproaehed with an attempt to
agltate and introduce those agtating ques.
tlous INTO discussion Of the Senate and
House of Representatives. We are here
as men who are continually
standing in the way: Of peace, and we are
denounced continually as ngtators. Sir
what havewe seen here at this very session
at this very meeting of Congress o-day
The very first thing that was asked to b,
