guitar without heading or signature,
there would have been no Oaaso for ad-
vsrsising ii, for every body would have
known chat it belonged 10 sneneas Old
kha.s' and no other man. and all viii
ssnelaas IL the President has not been
greatly sssrrassd - ssEail splitter, " that,
he Is better calculated for thai kind Of
smplsymsas, than he 10 for message witt
ing.
The message Ia wanting in everything
shas IL essential 70 make it readable, to
say nothing Of it want Of ability as
State paper. In regard to our fsreign
relations, the financial condition Of the
country, Or our istsrnal affairs with the
sxssptiou Of what relates 20 che negro,
tbs President touches but lightly, and
in such q manner an TO ls&ys the people
In greater darkness in relation to his
views, than they would have been II had
said nothing upon those subjects he
has given the nation practical demon"
ssxsAion Of his favorits theory, that, sit
il nos so easy to say something, a. it 10
TO say nothing"
The President SzsUstss aggrssaons upon
Tia commerce of the nation and our oiti-
xsns rights, by Informing the world, that
we are not prepared 70 redress saeh gEie-
vancss. He complains Of the injustice Of
Other nasiens in acknowledging the pso-
gle Of shs soush a. bslhgsssnszs seem
ingly forgetting, shas he was the frat one
to make such an acknowledgement, BY
bIoskAding soushssn ports 4 nation
bloGkAdas the ports Of its enemies, but
never blOckades its own ports.
He Ia as silent - the grave in relation
TO the progress Of the War, nor does he
seam to have any idea that the war viii
ever end or peace be restored, without his
Emancipation scheme Is adopted, through
which, he expects TO buy the allegiance
Of the people. We had supposed that
the message would give tbs people can
did and fair statement, showing how the
war was progressing, and what measures
the Executive had to propose 10 suppress
sha Rebellion and restore the Union to
ths& peaceful and prosperous condition,
that it enjoyed Oh the day Of hia election.
Upon this subject more than all others,
the people vera anxious to have the
President express his sentiments, views
and Observation-Disclosures he should say
fby the Etsrnal, what hs intamdsd to do;
bat they viii be both disappointed and
indignant, when they hnd that the Execu-
tive has not dared 10 say in his message
single word upon the subject
The people will not only be surprised
but disgasted, with the Presidents twad'
die about "fres Americans Of African dis
csns," whom he informs the people, arr
unwilling to emigrsse at the expense Of
The Government, either to Liberia 81
Hayti. He says that the Government
Of Central America refuses unconditional
~ to ALLOW the negroes to settle within
their Jurisdiction. Thus he 10 "bloeka'
dsd1 in both of bis pet schemes. But b.
sill hangs On to his one idea of COLOMBIA,
ton, and finding that he cannot oolouizI
these Stree Americans Of African de,
SCENT" out aide Of the United States, b.
proposes to amend the Constitution 80 q:
to allow him TO coloniEe shsm riLhin tht
United States. He says that there is bu
one negro 10 seven whites, and asks th'
question "oould the one in any wsJ
greatly disturb the seven 20 from whiet
we conclude, that, when he colonies th,
d&rkies, that he will"make general dis.
tSibusion Of them among the States, anG
shat each State will be blessed, as b,
thinks, but a. We think, cursed with /
Negro colony. II such 10 net his iaten
ton, Why did he in hispEopoaed amend
msat to the Constitution, insers, SO
pGaees," If he did rot msan to ossablisl
& colony In more than one plasaY
The proposed Amsndmsnss 70 the Con
stftusion are not only imprasticabls an
absurd, bat they are rsdisulons,so muc
SO, that common 'railsplit4er" ough
10 be ashamed TO father them. We thin
they will not be rsbsixsd with mnch ia
VOC by the hasdassed real E&il-spiittsrs Q
tha country. They have had abou
enough Of Lincon's Union Splitting, &
satisfy them that the Large majority Q
his schemes are impra0sisable. W
think shas they are sasia6sd that they wi
have taxes enough 10 pay, without 80
tboEixing Congress TO appropriate none
20 bug and eolouiss negroes. From th
tact thas hs argss his Emancipasio
