PRESIDENTS mnssAGE.

WAsHISoroN Dec. q.
The Presidents Message has been delivered
to Congress.
The President, after expressing gratitude to
the Almighty for blessings received throughout
the year, refers to the recent bloody occur
renee ct Harper's Ferry. These events, bad
and cruel in themselves, derived their chic f
importance from the opprehensions that they
are but symptoms of an incurable disease in
the public mind which moy break out in still
more dangerous outrages aud 60 terminate at
las! in open war by the North, aud to abolish
slavery. While he himself entertains no such
apprehensions, they ought to afford solemn
warning to us all to be ready fer the approach
Of danger.
lie says:
Let me implore my countrymen North aud
South to cultivate their ancient feelings Of
mutual forbcarance and good will towards
e ch other, and strive to allay the dernOR
sritis-s scott aol hatred qud stri g, nCW alive
in the land.
Tbis advice proceeds from the heart Of an
old public funcuonary, whose service CONNIE, :
ced in last generation Of wiser and ooHserva-
tive statesman Of that day but he INDUCES in
no gloomy forebodings. lie thinks the affair
at Harper's Ferry will be the means Of allsy-
ing the existing excitement and preventing
further outbreaks He cordially congratulate
cs Congress on the final settlement by the
Supreme Court Of the question Of slavery in
the territories. The right has been establish
ed for every citizen to take his property Of
any kind including slaves, into the territories,
which belong equally to the whole confodcr-
acy and to have it protected there under the
Federal Constitution. Neither Congress, nor
the territorial legislature, nor any human
power has any power to apuui or impair this
vested right. Thus has the state Of q Terri
tory during the intermediate period from its
first settlement until it becomes a State, been
irrevocably fixed by the final decision Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
He then describes the mode of admission Of
a territory as q State into the Uni,n. 1t may
be admitted with or without slavery as their
constitution may describe, This principle has
been recognized in the same form by the almost
unanimous vote Of both houses of the last
Cong ess.
