The Message.
Last week We had time only to say that
The Message was sensible document and
that 1t gave general satisfaction to the peo-
pie. We reiterate the statement. The In.
augural is understood here as it is almost
every where among the mosscs North
and in the Union sections South as a mes
sage Of PEACE and in that light it is ap-
proved. The radical men Of Mr.. Lincoln's
supporters pretend 10 see in it q demand
for the unconditional submission of the
seeding states, an apology for their recent
bad behaviour, and immediate return to the
fold OF Uncle Sam; or, on failure TO do all
this an nctire cannonading Of Southern
ports and necessarily, CIVIL WAR at
once; the radical chaps down South, whose
''wishes" like those Of their Northern pro-
totypes, sis father to their thoughts" sec
the Inaugural in the same light, and judg.
ing from the tone Of their paper organs We
are led to conclude that both sets Of these
smpracticablcs are fondly waiting the fatal
hour which is to precipitate this nation ia

yet recorded. It gratifying to know that
Radicalism in both sections is less power.

ago. The Abby Kelly school of fanatics
are no longer popular even in Massachus.
cts, the Tri5u mes Of the country and their
little local refectors are not regarded as
worthy Of reliance in this crisis; while the
Southern people under the influence Of kind
treatment from tho patriotic conservatives Of
the North are already beginning to express
their regrets for the course which they
have taken. II time instead Of gun-po !.
der could be vouchsafed the country it
would not be six months before all Of us
would rally again under the same Gag, hap
pier probably for the little sectional cross
ness. which only shows US, as in domestic
scenes, how necessary we arc to each Others
comfort and convenience. Time is every.
thing now and the President may well dwell
upon it. Precipitancy is prayed for by

with Seward, Lincoln, Crittenden, Douglas
and thousands Of others but lately identi
fed wi h the leadership Of either Of the late
four Presidential parties arc exerting every
energy to stay the tide Of evil which mon
key editors north and cpauletted fools south,
are trying to bring upon us. Mr.. Lincoln
tempers kindness with declaration of what
be understands to be his duty, and prays
his countrymen to avoid war and eternal
separation. Mr.. Seward tells the Illinois
Republicans, who called on him, ito forget
that Freedom was ever in danger, to save
the Union" not let the first and only
victory Of the Republican party be obtained
oyer the grave Of this Union" In other
~erds, forget that there ever was Re-

with its bigoted and noisy devotecs forever

ncr urges the appointment Of Mr.. Crit
TEsDEN, southern man Of decided "pro
slavery" identity, to the Supreme Judge
ship. Mr.. Douglas says he has forgotten
all platforms in the ono absorbing desire to
see our country again at peace. All these
patriotic evidences are before US and the
hearts Of true Union men respond to them
In daily prayers that success may reward
their unselfish exertions. While the best
brains and the noblest hearts of the nation
are at work to save the effusion Of blood,

"the Republican party bad permitted itself

served last week there is not harsh word
in it without an immediate modification oil
the language which takes away the sting
It is generally well received at the North
except by class Of PAPERS that can see
nothing good unless their own party leaders
propose it; it is also praised by class Of
journals whose conductors, like young
robins, had their mouths open for every
thing that might drop pap into their stom

sage, the Republicans, concilatory, and tn
Radicals, north and south, call it war-like
Prom the comments Of the press we maj
conclude the inaugural to be like the Del
phic oracle, subject to any construction de
sired. This arises from its finely elaborat
cd system Of checks and balances. Every
isody is complained Of little, everybody
complimcntsd great deal. Let us look .
it:
