The Presidents Special Message.

We laid before our readers last
week the Special Message of. Presi-
dent Lincoln to Congress on the sub
ject Of compensated emancipation
As the first official ennnciation Of the
Presidents views on the slavery CUES
ton as related to the present crisis in
our national affairs, this document is
one of great interest, and, in fact of
the highest historical Importance.
SO far as we can observe this Mess
age IS as favoraOly received by the
people as any paper On chat subject
could possibly be, ut this time. It is
cminently a conservative document,
but is still one step in advance. Pres
ident Lincoln avoids the extremes, and
succeeds happily in embracing tie
golden mean. The N. 7. Herald and
Tribune unite in approving it. We
regard this circumstance as speaking
volumes III its praise, however we
might be disposed to view the com
mediation Of either Of these journals
alone.
