THE PREslDEsTs MESSAGE

Without being invited our readers will reruse
with eagerness the first Message of President
LINCOLN to Congress. While ii makes not the
slightest pretension to rhetoric or fguratve Ian
guage, it Is full of candor, honesty and straight
forward sincerity, which must commend it to the
admiration and judgement of every one who reads
it. There is no effort at concealment Of dis
agreeable facts, nor is there the smallest attempt
ut dsingenuousness, speoous argument is not
employed TO cover up errors or divert tho mind
from the discovery of them should any exist. An
is fairness, frankness and ttuthfulness Nor is the
Message drest up in language above the common
comprehension of the people, but plain simple
style Of dcton is employed that every one may
understand.
The tone of the Message shows that Mr.. LIN
COLIN does not abate in the least degree, his
determination to crush out the rebellion and re-
store the Union in its integrity. But in doing
so he processes to be guided strictly by the Con-
sitution and Congressional enaciments While
shrinking from no proper duty, he will not as
sumo doubtful powers, albeit he keeps steadily
in view the fact that 'the Union must De pfeserr
ed."
Mr.. LINCOLN pays a pleasing compliment to
our gallant State, in telling Congress that south
of Mason and Dixon's line, "SoDLE LITTLE DELLA
WARE LED OFF RIGHT FROM THE FIRST" And
she intends to remain right to the last. Not
only has she proclaimed her loyalty to the govern
ment, but she has given to the country her own
brave sons, DUPoST, GILLIs aud others to lead in
the battles of the Constitution. Noble, right
noble indeed, is little Delaware.

Obituary.


Died, in Parkersburg on Wednesday, October
23i, -LIzzIR, daughter Of Jacob and Mary P.
Caulk, formerly of Delaware City, Del, aged 28
years.
This dispensation of Divine wisdom, is one
over which sorrow and joy seem to struggle for
the mastery. When we view her as the kind
and atfectionate daughter and the loving sister,
taken from the house Of which she was the light
and the comfort; or contemplate her, go gentle.
amiabe and affectionate, that the drew all
hearts to her--it appears sad and mournful in
deed. She lived among us as tender and deli
cato flower, whose worth and sweetness we
scarcely realized until it had withered away.
Our darling, we miss thee,
Deep, deep is the gloom,
Oh how can we lay thee
Away in the tomb?
But when we turn and consider the value Of
her testimony to the "truth as il is in Jesus"
its power to sustain the soul in calm and Joyous
hope in deep suffering, even in the struggle with
tho king Of errors, we feel that il is not all sad
and as we now think her free from sorrow and
pain safe at home among the shining ones in
that s'city which hath foundations, whose build
er and maker is God, d" there is ground for great
JOY In her last hours she expressed regret at
leaving the dear ones around her. but felt II to
be far better to depart and be with Christ when
she saw her friends weeping, she said "Why
do you grieve the Lord will take care Of me-"
To her associates she sent messages Of love de-
string them TO strive to meet her in heaven, and
warned those out of Christ, not to put off their
preparations to dying bed. Many are the
pleasant memories and touching lessons remain
ing to us, from her death chamber; even now
comes her feeble voice back to US from the spirit
land in tones Of solemn warning, 81 suppose 1
have done the same but oh, il Christians, pro-
Tossing Christians could zee things as cow
realize them, they would not talk so light in the
sick room" Dear, gentle Lizzie, If but one were
awakened by thy words, To more deep aud
earnest sympalhy with suffering humanity, and
the need Of the soul, thou hast not died in vain.

think not, the Son Of man cometh."

BosToN, Dec. I'd, 1861
The past week has been one of unusual ex-
citemeut in our good old city. With the advent
OF the Sabbath, there was the arrival of the
two distinguished envoys from secessia in one Of
Uncle Sans ships, at the massive stone mansion
on Georges Island in our beautiful bay, fort
Warren). They arrived quite early in the fore
noon, and were very politely and as deloately
as circumstances would admit handed over to the
care oil the very gentlemanly landlord of that sea-
grit hotel, Col. Dmmock, who gave them better
accommodations thnn they deserved, but allowed
them TO have no communication with any one
from the shore. The gentleman from Louisiana
appeared very solemn and morose but the gem
tlemau from Virginia endeavored to give an air
Of nonchalance to the whole proceeding. They
will have ample time to reflect over the error ST
their ways; and with the shaft Of Bunker Hill
looming up in the distance, and the stars and
stripes floating in majestic beauty on its apex
have chance to cogitate over tho stupendous
folly and crimes Of which they have been guilty,
aud it is to be hoped that with reflection may
come repentance.
Captain Wilkes, who so jackson like took "the
responsibility" had fitting reception in the
"Old Cradle Of Liberty" when thousands Of our
citizens had the privilege Of grasping his hand,
and testfying in other forms their appreciation
of the gallant achievement. But as the Fanieul
Hall affair was for the people, the merchants
and others gave another reception at the Revere
on Wednesday evening. Il was got up in a
style for which our merchant dinners'' are
famous. Speeches were made by our worthy
Governor, Capt. Wilkes, Lieut.. Fairfax, Chief
Justice Bigelow and other distinguished men.
What change has come over the spirit of our
people, during the last nine months, on the sla-
very question. Even here in old Massachusetts,
less thnn year ago, attempts were made TO
stitle free speech on the subject Of slavery. But
the guns at Fort Sumter lOosened many tongues
and uDsiOpped many deaf ears. Men who we're

The Republicans OF New York city like those

the habit Of .f,sRg with other parties and fac.

character. He was Usry ioydi before the elec-

enough to elect him, he afterward came out a
rampant locofoco sympathiser with treason, and
declared his unalierable opposition to the ef-
forts which the Administration is making to put
down the war, which he is pleased to term
