pecul.arities of mind, which has apparent
ly become as tissipated by the leviiy o
his lie long conversation as other people
minds become disspa,ed and demoraIzed
by the vaI.ous forms Of ply steal intemper-
ance. The views Of the message Oh every
question discussed by it are without depth
or breadth, and its suggestions aad recon-
mendaticns are ior the most part i'm practi-
cable or absurd
Almost at the opening Of the message.
tie President is compelled to confess that
the PROJECT which he has been culiivatng
a>sIluously. of negro colonization has fail
ed. tie has not been allie to find any
coantrys which consent to receive colonies
Il negroes, except AilIca and IIayti, and
he has not been able TO find any negroes
who would consent 10 emigrate to those
negro paradises. The President regrets :
this, but hopes for more tractabllity, by
which ''ere long there will be an augment
ed and considerable emigration TO those
countri s." lie does not state how much
of the public money it has cost to reach
this lame and impoteat conclusion.
He recommends scientific exploration
of the Territories for the development Of
their mineral resources, as measure TO
improve the revenues There have
been several such explorations. which have
cost a good deal more than they have pro-
duced.
His financial scheme is Of the "stump-
tall order. He proposes to abolish all
existing banks, and establish over the
whole country the exploded Illinois sys-
TEN. The recommendation comes of the
fact tha: Mr. Lincoln is familiar with that
system as it stood before the explosion,
and knows nothing of any other.
Hc announces that the St cretary Of The
Interior reports that the public lands have
ceased to be source of revenue. Has h.
autici pa.ed any other result Of the bills Of
the former session which he approved, CIV
Ing away the public lands to whosuever

lamds have ceased 10 be source of rev

urce of revenue should be preserved and

stored democratic power must b. TO revive
the democratic policy con, ern'ng The lrb-
lie lands. For nelly under that po.ioy
they were a most important source of r-v

His compensated emancil alton scheme
is his most elaborate subject. This is his
re for the rebellion. By it he con,em
p.ates the purchase by the national treas
ury Of all the negroes who shall not be
emancipated by his proclamation which.
he AYERS, will be put in operation Oh the
lst Of January. He does not seem to com
prehend tsat this scheme, as we'll as all
his other negro policies, was rejected at
the recent popular elections, nor that he
cannot obtain the approval OF it by his
own party in Congress. And he does not
com prehend that the two races eau never
live together on tke continent in any other
cation than master aud servant. In
snort. he does not comprehend the ques-
