] cred to Congress. s -
JOHN BROWN HAD LITTLE NTGeRR.
4 The President, after expressing gratitude
Ito tie Almighty for blessings received
throughout the year. refers to the recent
4 bloody occurrence at Harper's Ferry. Those
Eevents, cruel and bad In themselves, derived
their chief importance from the appFehen-
lsions that they are but symptoms of an in
Ecurable disease in the public mind which
may break out in still more dangerous out
RACES. and terminate at last in open war by
the North. for the. purpose of abolishing
slavery in the South. While he entertaias
no such apprehensions, they ought to afford
a solemn warning to US all to be ready for
the approsch of danger. eg..
t OLD BUCK GROWS PATHETIC.
/ He says: Let me implore my country
men, North and South, to cultivate their
fancient feelings by mutual forbearance and
good win towards each other, and strive to
allay the demon spirit of sectional hatred
and strife now alive in the land. This ad-
( vice proceeds from the heart of an old pub
lie functionary. whose services commenced
in the last generation of wise aud conserva
tive statesmen; but he INDUCES in no gloomy
I forebodings He thinks the affair at Harp
er's Ferry will be the means of allaying ex
listing excitement and preventing further
outbreaks.
| SLAVERY NATIONAL AND PERPETUAL.
He cordially ,congratuIates Congress on
j the final settlement by the Supreme Court
of the question of slavery in the Territories.
The right has been established for every cit
izen to Jake his property of every kind. in
GLIDING slaves, into the Territories which
!. belong equally to the whole confederacy,
and to have such property protected there
under the Federal Constitution. Neither
/ Congress nor the Territorial Legislature,
nor any human power, have the right or
authority to annul or impair this vested
right. Thus has the state of Territory,
during the intermediate period from its first
settlement until, it becomes State, been ir-
reyocably fixed by the final decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
| HOW TERRITORY SHALL BE ADMITTED.
/ He then describes the mode of admission
of Territory as a State into the Union.
| 1t may be admitted with or without slavery
as their Constitution may prescribe. This
principle has been recognized IN the same
form by the almost unanimous vote of both
Houses of the last Congress.
| THE SLAVE TRADE.
All lawful means at his command lad
Il Haa rlouoA and xr,sn oapfinr1o 40 ho
ployed against the Slave Trade. Our his
tory proves that the fathers of the Republic,
in advance of all other nations, condemned it.
THE CHINESE TREATY.
Ratifcations of the Chinese Treaty have
been exchanged. Two supplemental con-
ventions are however pending, relating to
the rights of Americans in China aud tran
sit duties.
ON GOOD TERMS WITH MOST EVERYBODY.
Our difficulties with Paraguay are salts
factoriiy adjusted. Our relations with
France, Russia. and all the Continental Gov
ernments of Europe-Spain. perhaps, ex-
cepted-eontiDue to be most friendly. The
President recommends that an appropriation
be made to offset the demands Of the ARMS
tead claimants.
THE osTEND MANIFESTO AGAIN.
His opinion in favor of the acquisition of
Cuba by fair means remains unchanged /;
therefore he again invites the serious atteu
ton of Congress to this important subject.
ABOUT THE ISLAND OF SAN JUAN.
He bad good reason to believe, until re-
Gently, that he would have been able 10 an
nounce our difficulties with Great Britain
as finally adjusted in a manner honorable
and satisfactory to both parties. From
causes, however, which Great Britain had
not anticipated, she had not yet completed
the arrangements with Honduras and Mica
ragua, in pursuance of the understanding of
the two governments. Il is, nevertheless,
confidently expected that this will shortly
be accomplished. In relation to San Juan,
he entertains no doubt of the validity. of our
title He was happy to state that what was
left 70 Gen. SCOTS direction could not have
been placed In better hands. General Scot:
has successfully accomplished his mission,
aud there was no longer any reason to apy
prshend the collision of the respective
forces during the pending of negotiations.
ssTHoU HAST AN ITCHING PALM''-MExIco.
He speaks with regret of the unimproved
condition of affairs in Mexico, and goes into
the subject as length. outrages of the worst
description, he says. are committed on per-
sons and property. and there is scarcely any
form of injury which has not been suffered
by our citizens there during few years past.
We are nominaily at peace with Mexico, but
as Tar as the interests Of our commerce or
our citizens there. in any private capacity,
are concerned. We might aa well be at war.
i WHAT NIB. N'LANE ADVISES.
Mr. MeLane, in August last, wrote sell
hops the President will feel authorized to ask
from Congress for power TO enter Mexico
with military forces at the call of the Con-
