We endorse the message SO far as
the Pre- sident goes, with few excep.
tions, that we consider most absurd
aud ridiculous.
FIRsT.-We are opposed to the ac-
acknowledgement of the independence
OF Hayti and Liberia-two Negro
Governments, s,-and the establishment
of diplomatic agents at these two ne
gro courts, or the permission of the
darkey diplomatists at Washington.
SEcoND.-We are opposed to being
taxed to feed and clothe slaves, who,
the President says, "must be provid-
ed for in some way" We, for one,
have enough to feed and clcthe Of our
own; and, next to our own household,
we will be taxed for the subsistence Of
our own poor. We believe, with the
Divine Law, "that he who will not
provide for his own house, is a fool
and worse than an infdel."
ThIED.-We are opposed to receive
slaves in lieu Of money for taxes due
from Slave States, which the Presi-
dent says we "should receive, accord
ing to some mode of valuation, in
lien pro tanto OF direct taxeO;" and
"that such persons, (slaves) on such
acceptance by the General Govern
ment, be at once deemed free;" sand
that stops be taken to colonize such
persons, at some place or places, in a
climate congenial to them"
Citizens of Ohio are to be taxed,
and made pay in money, while citi-
zens of Slave States are to be taxed
likewise, and pay in SIaUes, and the
Government is at once to set said
taxes (slaves) free! Great God
what equality os rights, and a Con
stitution- maintaining Government we
have.l Thus to carry out the Consti
tuition of the Fathers, is, we suppose,
part Of the secre. agreement Of the
Greeley's, Giddings's and Wads's a
the Chicago Convention.
; FoURrH.-We are opposed to the
!. further acquisition of Territory for th'
> purpose of colonizing free blacks o.
3 slaves, and the expenditure OF none.
: for such purpose, as recommended b.
the President.

consent, or buy them and drive them
to it without their consentl" We say
leave it with the people Of the
States to regulate as they please,
where the Constitution places it,
Why did not the President recon-.
mend q convention to alter the Con-
stitution, instead of asking Congress
to break it.
We thus, in brief, enter our protest
to these recommendations, waiting for
room and time to discuss these ques.

were hired laborers. The prudent,
penniless oeggar in the Sorid labors
| for wa ges awhile, and save a surplus
with which to buy tools or land tor
himself, then labor on his own ac-
count, and at length hires another
new beginner to help him. This is
tfe Just and generous and prosperous
system which opens the way to all

ergy, progress and improvement OF
the condition to all. No men living
are more worthy to be trusted than

what the popular principle, applied to
Government through tie machinery
Of the States and the Union, has pro,
duced in given time, and also what,
i firmly maintained, it promises for
lhe future. There are aheady among
US those who, ii the Union be pre-.
served, will live to see it contain 25O,-
100000. The struggle of today is
pot altogether for to.day, it is for a
vast future also. With firm reliance
on Providence, all the more firm and
earnest, let US proceed in the great
task which events have devolved up
on US. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
