TTE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


The Annual Message of the President,
so earnestly looked for by the people OF
the United States, to say nothing OF
other portions Of the civilized world has
been duly laid before our readers in lees
than fifteen hours after its delivery by
the Chief Executive, and by this time
majority Of the people OF the ioyal
States, At least, have faithfully perused
;ts contents and studied the meaning OF
it's various passages. As was previously
fore.badowed, the document has been
found to be highly conservative, YET
very firm in its policy. The state OF the
nation in its various parts and require
ments, is calmly discussed, annd many
matters VI Importance very properly re-
commended.
In regard to the future condition OF
The country, the ircsident enter'aih'
but one vicw-its permanent restoration
TO peace and prosperity, without sur
rendering up single inch OF its fair pro-
portions to the demands OF treason, or
changing in any manner its leading po-
litical features. Ia this he pOrtrays the
sentiment of every loyal heart in the
country. Every American citizen who
sets q proper value upon our beloved
country and her noble institutions, in
stinctively revolts at the idea ac9uiesc-
ing 10 the feartulIy ruinous policy Of
severing the Union and dividing grand
strength into separate factions and
powers.
As was foreseen, the military strength
Of the nation is not only to be main
tanned but increased to the requisite pro-
portions for crushing the rebellion, and
to this end also many indispensable steps
are strongly recommended. la regard
to the late Mason SlideIl capture, con-
trary to general expectation, no direct
allusion is made-thc matter being left
until it is asccrtained whether there will
be any necessity for national action.
Upon the slave confiscation matter no
lengthy disquisition is made, though it
is plain to sec that the Presidents poll
cy is highly conservative, and is by no
means 10 unison with the ideas of rant
ing and unconstitutional abolitionists.
The idea or quasi recommendation that
tie States act upon the question of sla
very within their own borders, through
State legislation, is eminentIy proper,
and will meet the approval Of the coun
try. The idea, also, of receiving confis-
Gated slaves from States, i'll payment OF
direct taxes due from such States TO the
General Government, will strike man,
very favorably, as will, likewise, the pro.
position TO provide for the negroes so
taken, a home somewhere outside of the
limits of the United States.
These and numerous other matters
have been laid before the people of the
United States in the Message-aIl OF
which should be carefully peruscd and
considered by every person who claims
for himself the dignity and cnlighteo-
mcnt of our American citizens.
Congress is now thoroughly organized
and at work. There is much to be d ne
and we trust that business and business
alone will be the order of the session.
