MONTGOMERY, ALA, April 29.-Congress
met at noon. The Presidents Message was
read. 1t announced the ratification of the
permanent Constitution by all the Confed-
crate States, and it only remains for an
election to be held for the designation of
| officers to administer it.
1t says the declaration of war made against
this Confederation by Abraham Lincoln,
rendered it necessary to convene the Con-
! gTess 10 devise measures necessary for the
| defense of the country. The President then
| reviews at length the relations heretofore
existing between the States, and the events
which have resulted in the present warfare.
| Referring to the result of the mission of
the Commissioners to Washington, it says
the crooked paths of diplomacy can scarcely
| furnish an example so wanting in courtesy,
/ candor and directness as was the course of
the United States Government toward our
| Commissioners.
The President incidentally refers to the
prudent caution observed by the feet off
Charleston during the bombardment of Sum-
ter, and pays high compliment to the Caro-
linians for their torbesrance before and their
heroism during and magnanimity after the
bombsrdment.
He says Commissioners have been sent to
England, France, Russia and Belgium to ask
our recognition as member of the family Of
nations, and make treaties of amity and com.
merce, and recommends the appointment oi
other diplomatic agents.
He says that the Confederacy, through
Vice-P President Stephens, has concludel a
Convention with Virginia, by which Vir-
ginia has united her powers and fortune
with us, and has satisfactory assurances that
other Southern States will soon unite their
fortunes with ours.
He SAYS that most of the Executive De
partments are in successful operation. The
Postmaster General will soon be ready to
assume the direction of postal affairs.
In conclusion, he congratulates the Con-
federacy on the patriotic devotion exhibited
by the people Of the Confederacy-men o.
high official and social position, and wealth
are serving in the volunteer ranks. The
railway companies are liberal in their rates
of tran sportation of the mails, and receive
for compensation the bonds of the Confed
eracy.
He says a people thus united and resolved
can not fail of final success. We feel thai
our cause is just and holy, and protest sol
ernnly in the face of mankind that we desire
peace at any sacrifice, save that OF honol
and independence. We seek no conquest
no aggTandisement, no concessions from thu
Free States all we ask is to be let alone
that none shall attempt our subiugation by
arms. aes -.-g. .y..-.
This we will and must resist to the dires

abandoned the sword will drop from ou
grasp, and we shall be ready to enter int

So long as this pretension is maintained
with firm reliance on that Divine Powe
which covers with its protection the jus
cause, we will continue to struggle for ou
inherent right to freedom, independence an'
selfgovernment. .-
