The Presidents Message.

We lay before our readers, in this is
sue, the first message to Congress of
President Lincoln. The telegraph has
made horrid work with some portions
of it, but enough can be cleaned to
show the reader that the course of the
administration has been sagacious, firm,
and its operation as active as possible.
The President is as cool and collected
rs Webster, as cunning as Van Blu
rem, and as firm as a Jackson. He asks
for four hundred thousand men and
four hundred millions of money, to
make the present struggle short and
decisive one. He will receive both.
The country breathes freer since the
delivery of this message than it has
for the six months past. The countries
Of the Old World will perceive that the
authority of the general government is
not to be overthrow, and that we shall
yet remain great and powerful ma
ton.
