TIE PRESIDENTS ANNUAL MESSAGE
The President IS engaged ut the State Dc

d.rs. NE* buchanan has always held this thco

announcing 1t now under Ecnsc OF public lu.

!:h,T at the conspirators who have never CT
i!bitcd the least recognition of his services to
thcbouth. or any sense OF coinm On gratitude fol
thc sacrifice, made by the Administration dur
Ing the ka.Eas controversy.
Both the Charleston and Baltimore Conven'
tons ignored his Administration entirely, and
the South generally gave it the cold shoulder
IN their State Conventions, af1er having &c,
cclvcd peculiar marks of favor.

will be bitterly assa;lcd By the scccssionists.
II will be sent to Congress Two days before the
election for delegates to the Convention In
South Carolina, and, Doubtless form the prin-
clpal topic Of discussion when it shall meet Of,
the 18th Of December. 1t will have been cir.
cnlAted through the country long before tae
Conventions Of other Stntes can be called, and
must necessarily operate upon opinion in en-
anatlDg from one who is admitted to be the
champion Of Southern rights.
4 ncrcc controversy may bc expected in
Congress when the message: is delivered, and
public Interest will be concentrated here, thus
drawing OF attention from the proceeding III
South Carolina BY counter irritunt Of larger
power. 1t will not be surprising to sec the
Presidents doctrines denounced by his recent
defenders, and defended by Ills former oppo.
nents.
TIE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE.
Governor Letchcr will urge upon the vir-
ginla Legislature, which be has summoned for
Tue IN of January, the policy Of submitting,
propositions for MI amendment Of the Consti-
tution, containing the basis Of q new compro-
mise between The North aud South; and. aI.
Tentatively, Convention q of2outhcrn States to
determine their course Of action in the present
cxlEency. As the first is almost i,npracticable.
the latter will be most considered. That plan
furnishes the only mode by which South Car
olina eau be c1tricatcd from her prcdicancnt,
Tor no doubt is entertained that her rash
scheme would be voted down In conference,
by which she would be bound TO abide after
conscnting to enter it. And she could hardly
refuse to attend Il Virginia proposed Gcncf-
al Convention. Some plan will be yct devised
to escape the last resort now threatened.
II South Carolina should proceed to the cx-
tEenity of voting herself out Of the Union,
and send Commissioner here, as now s,1ryest.
ed, to arrange the terms OF her Withdrawal no
recognition would be extended to him.
TEE PRESIDENT AND his CABINET 4 INIT
AGAINST D1sCSIoS!-A DAILY GEpuuL1cAS
NEWSPAPER At WASHINGTON.
NAsu1So7oS, Nor. 10, 1sco.
I 1e2rn from reliable source that President
buchanan not only condemns the doctrine oi
secession, but that he stands By the Proclama-
tion Of Gen. jackson, issued In December
1852, against the nnlliGcatiou experiment oI
John G. Calhoun. The President Is giving es~
l,cciat attention to the principles laid down in
this celebrated State paper, as we'll Us to lis
history. Tie denies y statement which was
put forth some years ago, and which may have
been recently repeated, that the old hero re-
pentcd and rccantcd the teachings OF the Pre-
clamatiou, and is able to show that he stood
By them to the last. Tho emphatic dcclar:.-
tlons made by Mr. buchanan on this subject
leave no doubt that it will form prominent
topic in his forthcoming message, and that he
will reitcrate the sentiments and doctrines Of
the Proclamation without qualification.
What my be regarded rs more surprising
still, Mr.. Buchanan declares that his Cabinet Is
unit on this question Of secession! Can he
be Ignorant that Alr. Cobb has been 4 Seccs.
slonIst for the last mouth or twos Or has th.t
distinguished functiona5y subsidized, since tue
tatiurc Of his attempt to brighten the Northern
people Into tho support OF Breckfnridge? /
incline to believe that the Secretary was oply
playing at tue game Of bray, when, somc
weeks ago, he threatened disunlun and civil
ff1ttr1 ep1f$ T r1.n3r
tlon. Several circumstances 20 to sustain tlis
Inference First, there Is this declaration Of
the President, that his Cabinet Is unit, In c,,-
posing secession. Second, Is the fact that tie
Consultation newspaper, which declared almost
every day during tho campaign, that the South
would ~ not and ouEht not to submit to the rule
OF Black Republican President, Immediately
toned down, after The election was over, aud
denounced anybody mud every, ody a.
calulnuiators who should imputc disuuion
sentiments to 1t. Third, there il The
fact, heretofore given by me, that Mr. Ducllan-
an assured distinguished foreigner, who cx-
pressed apprehension forthc fate OF tho Union,
that his fears were groundlcss; that we Amer
leans arc in the habit Of talking very cxtsaya-
Santiy before III election, but that wc know
how to take it all back when The contest Is
over. This shows that lie appreciated the
game Mr.. Cobb was playing, but Suffered It to
50 On, as he suffered lis organ 10 rant in the
election. Fourthly, there ie the stubborn fact
that Mr.. Cobb still holds on to the Treasury
Keys, A1ter the happening Of the CONTINGENCY
which WAS to make him traitor. l have too
much respect for his sense Of honor to believe
that hc would continue under the OBLIGATIONS
OF his official oath while actually plotting
treason.
An association Of Republicans In this city
has been formed with view to the Immediate
Issue Of daily newspaper. It il to be called
the National Ntl'u1'icdn, and will be com

poet very considerable local support, both IN

When the Republican President comes into
Office, this paper will receive the Government
advertising, valued at five to ten thousand
dolllrs per annuln. The Law gives the a.tyer-

est permanent circulation, and to . Third to
