NEW YORK, Sth. The Tribune W ashington
dispatch says the most important and interest
ing portions of the Presidents Message are
those (which deal with the subjects of Slavery
and of the restoration Of the Union States that
have been in rebellion. In what the President
says regarding the former topic, he considers the
Emancipation Proclaim ton an accomplished
fact. He holds that the proclamation has llber'
ated all slaves within the territory which it EN-
braced, and that all future calculations must be
based upon that supposItior.
The plan which Mr.. Lincoln proposes Tor the
restoration of the loyal people Of the truant
States to their former position in the Union, IS
represented to be purely his own, and unlike
any now before the public.
In another part OF the message the President
alludes to the victories gained during the year,
and dwels at some length upon the progress
and present aspects and prospects of the war.
