1t is curious fact in orr nolit

1t is curious fact in our political
history that the only attacks made upon
the late Message of the Democratic
President of the U. s. have been made
by prominent Democrats in Congress-
Mr.. Norris, of Illinois, assalled it the
day after its appearance in the House,
in the following bitter language:
1.-The Administration was full of rotten
ness and dead mems bones and had no more
utilization with the democracy than darkness
with light, or virtue with wee. The President
had again thrust IN our faces his territorial
policy, and had advanced several steps from
his former position, which, in all conscience,
was bad enough, He was amazed that the
President bad so far lost sight Of his du V as
to make SO high bid for the nomination of
the Charleston Convention. lie knew him to
he capable OF any act for. the qualification Of
his private malice, and Of being guilty of
treachery to his friends and principles
There was no necessity for twisting the ques-
ton OF Slavery in here. 1t was not before
the House in any form, nor was it likely to
be this session yet the President repeats
his lwice-told tale, ut time when the House
is in an unorganiZed condition. lie was
glad the President had expos ID himself, an
old man who looked forwsrd to the perpetua.
ton OF his power and was ready TO bow at
any sectional altar to obtain his ends He
lead an extract from the Message, relating
to Slavery in the Territories, calling it disn.
genuous, and thought it TOO strong u dose for
any Southern man TO swallow"
Mr.. Morris is a dyod-in-thc-wood
Democrat, who went into the caucus and
voted for Mr.. Bocock until that gentle
man withdrew.
In the Senate, Mr.. Brown, Of Miss,
denied what the President had said
about the settlement of the Slavery
Question. And SO the harmonious
Democracy drive on-the national party,
the party which by its unity is to save
the union. The fact is, their whole
policy is SO double faced and shutting,
that no two of them agree as to the
meaning ofany measure, save the simple
one Of spoils.

The Baltimore SIN Of Tuesday last,

butcs the cause to "the late sectional
excitement, and the consequent with
drawal of Southern orders" This is
the first time we ever knew that Southern
men had their houses constructed, and
their stone. or brick walls built in
Chelsea, Massachusetts. Still, We do
not like to doubt such notably vcracious
authority as the Baltimore SIN, and as
the telegraph reports the mercury

degrees below zero, may we not reasona-
BY conclude, that the Southern people
do not think this the most soasonable
period for building stone or brick walls,
especially those intended for expectation.
1t may be, as the spring opens and nav

In reading the Presidents M

IN reading the Presidents Mes
sage, We are lead to think that Mr..
buchanan has forgotten that there is
within our country such place as Utah
Territory. While the affairs of Mexico
occupy near onesixth of his Message,
there is no mention made of the condition
of Utah. The Secretary Of War, how
ever, gives gloomy description Of
things there. He says that the Terri
TORY is governed, practically, by a
system which is in total disregard of the
laws or Constitution of the land" In
fact, that the preservation of life and
justice there has been found to be out of
the question. Crimes of the most
atrocious character have been perpetra-
ted upon citizens travelling to and from
the States, and the Secretary says that
persons fully competent to judge, think
that these outrages " are the work of
the Mormon people themselves sane
toned, if not directed, by the authority
Of the Mormon church." Yet the Presi-
dent seems ignorant of these things,
while is he fully acquainted with, and
grows eloquent upon the abuses trans
piring within the jurisdiction of Mexico,
which he proposes to redress by military
invasion. There had better be little
more attention given to the abuses
within our own borders.
