The Presidents Message.

The Message of President LINCOLN, at
the opening of the present extra session
of Congress, will be found on our outside
form. 1t will be eagerly read, of course,
on account Of the extraordinary circum-
stances under which it was proposed but
any one who expects to find it a docu-
ment at all worthy of the occasion, will
be sadly disappointed All it contain,
might have been embraced in a few sem
fences. 1t simply charges that the pres
ent war was commenced by the rebels by
the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and
then recommends the raising Of 100000
men, and the appropriation of s4Oo, 600, 900
for the Suppression Of the rebellion The
la5ored argument against constitutional
secession, thrown in apparently to length
en- out the document, is the merest boil
derdash in tho world. To say nothing of
the needlessness of an argument in such
a place to prove what few seriously dis
pute, there is scarcely law student in
the country but could have presented the
N'1oS "''i iHoie SAehi hees anu aoiHty. AS
a literary production, it is the faultiest a. d
shabbiest document Of the kind ever pre-
scented to Congress. Dozens Of sentences
defy pairing, and dozens more are 90
constructed as to be utterly
unintclligibie. We are amazed that so
scholarly man AS Mr. Seward, to whom
the document In common courtesy was
certainly submitted would permit it to 60
before Congress without dressing il up.

could not afferd to bear the government
broken up. They will aid unanimously 10
crush secession, but not to trample Gil the
constitutional rights of the South. Their
hope is in the Union men of the Southern
States. They will stand by them in all

Union men of the South are to be crushed,
then rather secession than war of exter-
mination between the sections In word,
We understand the democratic position TO
be this: They sympathize with the South
in their complaints against Northern fanat-

principle authors of the troubles, and they
oppose secession as an unjustfable RENE
