Message of President Ea.Ia.

MONTGOMERY, (Ala.,) April 20 - Con.
gress met at noon to-day, and the Press.
dents Message was read
1t announces the ratification of the per-
manent Constitution by all the Confederate
States, and it only remains fo9 elections to
be held for the designation Of officers to ad-
minister it The President says the decla-
ration of war laid against this Confederacy
by Abraham Lincoln rendered it necessary
to convene Congress to devise measures for
the defence of the country. He then re-
views at length the relations heretofore ex-
lsting 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, he says
the crooked paths of diplomacy can scarcely
furnish an example SO wanting in courtesy
in candor aud directness, as was the course
of the United States Government towards
our Commissioners.
The President incidentally refers to the
prudent caution observed by the feet off
Charleston during the bombardment Of Sum
ter. aud pays high compliment to the Ca
roinians for their forbearance before, their
hcrosm during, and their magnanimity af-
ter the bombardment.
He says Commissioners have been sent
to England, France, Russia and Belgium,
to ask for our recognition as member of
the family of nations, and to make treaties
Of amity and commerce. lie recommends
the appointment Of other diplomatic agents.
The Confederacy, (says the President, }
through Vice President Stephens, has con
cfudcd Convention with Virginia, by
which Virginia has united her powers aud
fortunes with US. He has satisfactory as
surances that other Southern States will
soon unite their fortunes with ours.
Most of the Executive Departments are
in successful operation, and the Postmaster
General viii soon be ready to assume the
direction Of postal affairs.
In conclusion, tbePresident congratulates
the Cnnfederaey on the patriotic devotion
exhibited by the people men in high oti-
cial and social position and wealth serving
as volunteers in the ranks-the railroad
companies liberal in their rates of transport
tation Of troops and supplies, and in the
proffcr Of terms for the transportation of
The mails, receiving in compensation the
bonds of the Confederacv. He says peo-
pie thus united and resolved cannot fail of
final success. We feel that ou: cause is
just aud holy, and we protest solemnly ia
the face of mankind that we desire peace at
any sacrifice, save that Of honor and indie
pnndcnce We seek no conquest-no ag-
grandlzement- concessions from the free
States All we ask is to be let alone, and
chat meme shall attempt our subjugation by
force of arms. This we will and must resist
to the direst extremity. The moment this
pretension is abandoned, the sword will
drop from our grasp. and we shall be ready
to enter into treaties Of amity and commerce
mutually beneficial So long as this pre-
tension is maintained, with firm reliance
Oh that Divine Power which covers with it's
protection the just cause, we will continue
to struggle for eur inherent right to fee
dem, independence and self government.

TIE LIGHT OF RETURNING REAsoY.-The war spirit in many parts of the North seems to be somewhat on the wane. The Hartford Courant, recognized as the chief organ of abolitionism in Connecticut. dis courses as follows in a late number:
 Public opinion in the North seems to be gradually settling down in favor of the re- cosnition of the new Confederacy by the federal government. The thought of a bloody and protracted civf war, except as a matter of absolute necessity, is abhorlent 0 all, and its issues may be as perilous to the victors as to the vanquished. To subiu- gate the seeded States by force of arms, and to compel them to rema1n in the Un- ion, if it be possible, must involve great expenditures of treasure and life, and can result only in changing the present alicna- ton into deadly hostility and incurable hate If they remain in the Union they must do so as peers of the other States, and not as conquered provinces
 But here new peril meets us. Do we not, by the recognition of the Southern Confederacy, recognize the principle of se- cession? No.
 Seven States have seeded from the Un- ion. The act is revolutionary, and may justly be punished with all the severity which the crime of unprovoked revolution demands. Bat the movement was not checked, as it might easily have been, at the beginning. The cabinet of Mr. Buch- anan, if not Mr. Buchanan himself. helped on the treason. The present administra- ton must deal with the matter as it stands; not simply as question of practical poll ties. The forcible subjugation of these States, nderexisting circumstances, is not to be thought of
