& Presidents s Message.

The Special Message of President Lin.
coin win be found in this paper. This
document swas looked for with deep con.
cern by all the people, expecting that the
policy Of the government would be clear.
lyforeshadowed. In this expectation all
will be- disappointed. *esa*o5fsi ssiaa5.-
His argument against the right of a
State to secede, although he advances
nothing rev, nevertheless we endorse.
The President admits that there was no
law authorizing his calling out volunteers
for three years service; but says he has
done nothing which is beyond the power
of Congress to do, and now asks that
body-so ratify what he has done. He has
perhaps forgotten that the Congress which
adjourned the day he was installed into
power. refused to give him power for
what be has done, The President places
hisaction upon, the grounds Of necessity.
The President is not clear as to his au-
thority, to suspend The writ Of Ha6eas
C6spus, nevertheless he says. he has done
it. and puts that, TOO, upon the necessity
Of the case. He might just as well, by
proclamation, declare himself Emperor,
and claim that the emergency required it,
as to Justify any unconstitutional or un-
lawful act un6er. any such plea. The
people may see the necessity for calling
for men, and excuse the overstepping of
the law il that case; but tie unlawful
and unconstitutional suspension of the
Ha5eds Corpus thus taking away the
dearest rights of freemen by suspending
alf civil law and placing their lives and
property under military controls quite
another and different thing - Sandusky

PRESIDENTS Message.
We publish L1NcoLN's message in full.
in this weeks paper. The document con-
tains FIVE points: 1st, the country is in
trouble and sombody is likly to be hurt:
End, he wants an army of four hundred
thousand men in addition to the two hun
dred thousand already in the field; o
Srd, he wants four hundred millions Of
dollars in money;
4th, that he will carry out the Chicago
platform;
5th, that he will make no compromise.
The President has considerable to say
about the common soldiers and common
sailors. He doubtless, considers such men
as SoHENcK, BANKS and PIERCE as orna-
mental or uncommon soldiers. The mes
sage, considered by and large, is very
weak State paper; there is no hickory in it.
Holmes Co. Farmer.
From the message the coun-
try can draw no hopes of a speedy peace.
There will be no offer of reconciliation so
long as government can command money
to maintain the combat. What then, it
may be asked, is all this combat to settler
In the language of the message, they
have forced this issue upon the govern
ment:
"Is there in all Republics this inherent
and fatal weaknessl Must government
of necessity be too strong for the liberties
of its own people, or too weak to main
tain its own existence?"
According to the message the COMBAT
is not so much to put down rebellion as
to establish proposition, Not SO much
to resent injury and insult to our flag as
to show the power of government. Not
so much to perpetuate the Union Of the
States as to crush out opposition. 1t is
not claimed that the object of the war is
to liberate the slaves. There is but ore
object to this war-this great and des-
tructive "CoMBAT," viz: to determine
whether REPUBLIC has the same inher-
ent and fatal weakness common to all 9th.
er governments asks the legal control Of
100000 soldiers and 400,000,000 dol.

PoLIrlc.L DEP.x1nssr, Pans Dec. 3 tssI.
Sir: The arrest of Meseieurs Mason and Slidei on
board the English packet Trent, by an American
cruser, has produced In France, Ii not the same
emotion as in England, at least extreme astoush-
ment and sensation. Public sentiment was at once
epgrossed with tue lawfuuess aud the consequences
of such an act, and the impression which has re-
suited from this, has not been, for an instant,
doubtful.
The fact has appeared so much ont Of accordance
with the ordi AIRY rules Of International Law, that
il has chosen to throw she responsibility for it
cludvely on the commander of the San Jacinto.
IL is not yet given 10 us TO know whether this sup
position is well founded, and the Government OF the
Emperor has, therefore, also had TO examine th0
question raised by the taking away OF the two
passengers from the Trent The desire to contribute
TO prevent a conflict, perhaps imminent, between
two Powers for which IL is animated ny sentiments
equally friendly ard the duty TO uphold, for the pur
pore OF placing the rights Of its own Gag under
shelter from any attack, certain principles essential
TO the security Of neutrals, have, after mature
lection, convinced It, that Il could not ulder tie
circumstances, remain entirely silent.
IT, to our deep regret, the Cabinet OF Washington
were disposed TO approve Of the conduct of the CON-
mander Of the San Jacinto, it would he either by
considering Messrs. Mason ard Sidell enemies,
seeing in them nothing but rebels In the one,
in the other case there would be forge,fulness,
tremely annoying. Of pri0Gpks upon which we
have always found the United States il agreement
with ur.
By what title, In effect, would the American cruiser,
in the fst case, have arrested Messs. Mason and
Slidel. The United States Lave admitted with US,
IN the treaties concluded between the two countries
that the freedom of the flag extends itself the
persons found on board, should they be enemies Of
one Of the two parties, unless the ques-
ton is Of military people actually in
the service Of the enemy. Mesars. Mason and
Slide were, therefore, by virtue Of this principle,
which we have never found any difficulty IN causpg
to be inserted in our treaties Of friendship and CON-
uerce perfectly at liberty under the neutral hag OF
England. Doubtless it will not be pretended thst
they could be considered as contraband OF war.
That which constitutes contrsband of war IL not
yet, it Is true exactly aettled the limitations are
10, absolutely the same fg al the powers; BUT M
