THE MESSAGE.
ON the Philadelphia EueRiRg Bulletin. !


The people of the United States made no mistake
when they elected Abraham Lincnln to the Presi-
dency. The noble message h. sent yesterday to
Congress is proof of this. Every one that can
read has read it will read it, that it will be
idle to offer an abstract of document, every SEN
tence of which has force and meaning
From the " z. Erentng Post
The nation will honor i's Chief Magistrate for
the directness and simplicity which characterizas
this well as his previous state papers. There is
official reticence; nor is there unnecessary
mutation of words. The message is to the people;
and the least educated man in the nation NAV read
it with perfect COMPROMISING and can, is his
right, pass judgment upon the action OF the nations
| head.

/ From the N. Y, Uorldl
The Presidents Message has been received with
an una mous appreciation throughout the country.
Our exchanges from all quarters express hearty
satisfaction with the vigorous policy which II calls

Rut two iournals-one the most rabld OF secession
