.,rs there is nothing in the Message that can
p. c,lled more than usually interesting. Whe-

Gxc> lis prominent points, and SAYS, in regard
10 cy,crna! affairs: For a peaceful nation the
United States aro certainly most unfortunate
in their political relations. A quarrel with the
United States on soine subject or other, is a
matter Of course. Without one. a Presidents
message would read tame and mcagre. Mr..
Buchanan, therefore, evinces n laudable anxiety
10 keep one in reserve. Great Britain having

which Spanish or South American ships hoist

/, then refers to Mr.. Buchanan's reference to
The slave trade, and his original proposition for
ss.ppresslon, and says that his arguments in
regard 10 the ccssion Of Cuba arc such as lia.
man might have used when he wanted to pur.
chase the vineyard which was near to his palace,
,ai that it would be superiluous TO point out
Zoe requisite force Of the argument. The
Times then sketches the President views in
regard to Mexico and Central America, and
.O;clud-s as follows: 1T is evident that the

The Daily News" reviews the Message in
connection with Mr.. Buchanan's recent letter
10 the Committee Of the celebration at Pitts

regard to Cuba and Mexico is intended as u
ru.ciliation TO the South, and predicts that no.
