The PresiIent.s nTessare,

The Message of the President covers the
whole history of the rebellion BY an If
resistible array of facts shesshows conclusive
~ that the course ne has adopted was the
only one consistent with his obligations to
uphold the Constitution. Never in the his
tory Of the nation was there a. document
sent from the Executive chair which was
more fully endorsed by the people than this.
They are satisfied with the determination
evinced in the demand for four hundred
thousand men, and four hundred millions
of dollars With these means at his COM
mand the war will be short and decisive.
In pointed paragraph he calls attention
to the fact that in the army and navy the
common soldiers and sailors had proved true
to their obligations to their flag to the last
man. The officers only have deserted their
posts.
May we not, after reading this message
take courage. The only safety for the
country is in speedy end to the rebellion.
The South must be overwhelmed at once.
For weeks the people have crowded forward
to offer their services and their money for
this work and new we are told that both are
to be brought in requistion Let what is
done be done speedily and before the New
Year comes, the last division Of the rebels
will be scattered before the Grand Army
Of the United States.
