We meet wit; such things every day,

Bay We fhis week make copious ex-
tracts from the Presidents verbose and
repetitious third aBFsa.sf address before
the unconvened Charleston Convention.
We have not more space to devote 20 She
Message, giving as we do those portions
of it which our readers generally will take
most interest in reading. The whole of
it would cover nearly y our entire sheet.
Our brief abstract of it in last weeks pa
per, comprehends our views of what the
President has expressed but we beg to
briefly notice the fact that what he did
not express, vas looked for with most in
tercst by two thirds of chose who will read
the message. We allude to his total neg
lect Of the Kansas organic conyeutior sn3
election, under which it now proposes to-
apply for admission into the Union. So
long as there was hope that Slavery
would predominant in that Territory
through the aid of all the power the ad-
ministration could bring to bear upon it,
the President continued to make the dis
cussion Of Kansas affairs the subject of
his regular, and one or two special mes
sages. But when the indomItable will of
the People has succeeded in overcoming
the combined influences of Slavery and
the corrupt federal government which
lent itself to the damnable purpose of
crushing ont Freedom in the territories,
the President finds the subject entirely
unworthy of notice He passes it over
to demand of Corgres, the power to in
wade and make war upon a poor, weak
neighboring country, rs indemnity for
wrongs inflicted by banditti, embracing
the bapished subjects of our own and all
otheT nations.
We could say much more upon this
subject, but have NO. space now to do so.
There are many other features OF the
Message as well as conimls-
sions-which we will discuss from tlme
10 time, as we get opportuny.
