LINcoLN's MEssAGE-This document is before our
readers It has one recommendation. 1t is compare
lively short The first part Of the message has already
been laid before the public in elegraphic synopsis
Of the part not communicated it may be sufficient
say that Mr. Lincoln asks for four hundred thousand
men and four hundred millions of doIlurS for the purpoB
of subduing the South. That he denies and scouts thu
idea of State sovereignty. He asserts that the Unor
was anterior to the States and that the States h
creatures of the Union instead of the Union being tn
creature of the States. There then follows long de
erosion after the raispter fashion about fair start
and the people, and all that sort of thing. Mr. Lin
coin actually aft els to believe that majority of tb
people in North Carolina are in favor Of bis govern
ment, but are kept down by the minority. If be
equally accurate upon other facts his message must

Letter from Judge Hall.
ST. LOUIS. March 10Th.

ST. LOUIS. March 10th.
A. ]. HERsDos, Esa.-Dsar SIR: am
surprised that any person, who does not
wish to mlsinterpret my views, should
think that favored the doctrine Of coer-
cion. / was one of the majority of the
committee who adopted the resolution in
the majority report, opposing coercion
When the "Moss amendment" was pro-
posed, / opposed it On the ground tina! the
resolution presented in our report Yves
preferable; opposed the resolution called
the "Moss amendment" on the ground
that 1t was pledge by Missouri in advance,
on contingencies which had not yet arisen,
and which might involve us in difficulties
which we had never contemplated.
The pledge in the "Moss amendment" is
shat "men or means" shall moi 60 from
Missouri for ths.purpOse of coercion. The
Governor is the authority TO carry out this
pledge; he is the power 10 determine what
coercion means. He may conclude that the
holding OF Forl Sunter by the Federal
Government is coercion; he may reason
that the receipts at The Custom House in
St. Louis, the money in the sub-treasury
here, and the arms at the arsenal, are means
in Missouri which the Federal Govern
ment can apply to supporting Maj. Ander-
son al Fort Sumter, and he may, to carry
out our pledge, if adopted, take possession
Of the custom house, treasury and arsenal
on the pretext Of resisting coercion, and sp-
peal to the "Moss amendment" If adopted
for his defense.
W. may thus be involved In a war with
the Federal Government-no, in behalf Of
our own rights, nor in our own defense
but on behalf of South Carolina, whose &C.
ton we may not approve. My position is
10 declare our opposition 10 coercion, but
to make no pledge which may involve us
in future difficulties. Events are changing
SO rapidly that no wise man can or will de
termiDe in advance his future course.
The report Of my remarks was very in
correct, but, could see nothing in them at
variance with the position l have stated
in this lstter.
Very truly, your friend,
VIM. A. HALL.

Church Dedication,

The new Church edifcs recently erected
by the Baptists, in this place was Dedica,
ted 10 the service of Almighty God, last
Sunday. The services were quite interest
ing, and were witnessed by some FIVE
hundred people, while many were unable
to get inside the building. The exercise,
were opened by reading the following hymn
by the Pastor. Rev. A. p. WILLIAms, and
which was sung by the Congregation
"And will the great eternal Sod
On earth establish his abode?
and will be from his heavenly throne.
Avow our temples for his own?" etc,
Rev. JEo. Francis then read from the
Sacred Scriptures, beginning with the 22nd
verse Of the 9th Chapter of LIST Kings.
Prayer-By RI. Rev. Father FRIsror,
which was followed by reading and singing
the following hymn:
GWill God in very deed descend,
And dwell with men below?
IN ear to mortal worship lend?
To US his glory show?" etc.

LRa, from Isaiah, 2lst chapter, llth and
l2sh verses:
"The burden Of Dumsh. He callsth 10 me out
Of SER, Waterman, what of the night Watch
man, what Of the night"
The Waterman sand, The morning cometh,
and also the night"
The sermon was an exceedingly chaste
production. in literary point of view, and
was delivered with fervor and eloquence
that held the large audience SPELL
bound, frUm begining 10 close. We atten-
ded The exercises with view TO taking
notes, but the rapidly with which the speak
er spoke rendered this very difficult job,
had We been able to confine our attention
10 that business; but our eyes wandered
from our note book, and our pencil was
i'slisss, as the speaker so pa thetically por-
trayed the suAerings and prosecutions that
followed and bore down the Soldiers Of the
Cross in early times, and the difficulties they
ever, and now had TO meet and overcome;
and as he so eloquenily, described their tri-
unphs all down the stream Of time, until
new, when it took no prophets eye TO dis
nern, that to the true follwers Of the meek
sndlowiy. "the morning conethl' The morn
