THE PRESIDENTS LAST MESSAGE.
Leading Democrats in and out of Congress con-
denim the Presidents Message as weak and uune-
eeessTy, beside being calculated to place them in
false position before the country as ObStructDg an
investigation on the eve of Presidential canvass.
They complain, too, that while it wSs submitted to
tie Cabinet no consultation was held with members
of che House, upon whom its effect was most i'm
mediately to fall. 1t is regarded as most unfortu-
nate in both party and personal sense.

GOV. WISE AND JOHN BROWNS RAID.
The majority Of the Harper's Ferry Committee
have again determined to summon Gov. Wise, and
it is probable the question will be submitted to the
Senate. His public avOWals make him the most
important witness yet called, and Messrs. DOolitte
and COlsmer are expected to insist upon testing
the sense of the Chamber upon requiring his evil
dence. Having sent Mr.. Hyatt to jail for refusing
to answer, the majority cannot now decline to sum
mon Gov. Wise They fear he may either pursue
the course adopted by John Brown, jr, in disre-
gardiDg the process of the SergeantstArms, or, if
called, decline to testify upon material points. As
The law now stands, the Sergeant-at-Arms has no
power TO enforce process like United States
Marshal He may call posse eOmitatus, but can
only take witness if he has strength enough to
carry him, if resisting.
