THE PREs1pENT,s MEssAor,

We publish in this issue the Presi-
dents Message with the accompany
ing Proclamation, It is a clear and
able statement Of the condition of af.
fairs, and suggestive of the wonderful
power of the American Government
and the American people. The por-
ton devoted to the Navy; and the
Presidents plan Of reconstruction are
especially interesting Those who
expected an elaborate and complicated
plan for bringing the Southern peo,
pie back by States arc disappointed.
The plan goes directly to each indi-
vidual and grants full pardon TO all,
excepting certain of the leaders, whQ
will take the prescribed oath. ofallos
glance. Whenevera sufficient number
Io| those who have taken the prescribed
oath shall set np State g g)vernm3nt,,
in tile States named, such government
will be recognized and guaranteed by
the Cuitod States. @..
This plan, the President submits
with tho modcsty of il great man, a.
the best which he can suggest with
lis present impressions, but. sit is moi
to bo understood" be tays "that an
other possible mode would not be ac
ccptablc." ,... F..

preciate the feeling of soldier when
his comrade dies except it be one who
has had the trial; it is just like taking
one Of the family away, yet have no
doubt many at home often wonder

information oftheir friends, A battle

long and five or six wide, and we com

means to convey the wounded, surely

they looked back on that bloody field

comrades, l know such n thought
would never occupy their minds for

TIE rOLICR or THE FkIEFIrLC
... DEMOCRACY.

The policy Of those who control tho
Democratic party Of this county is
Resistdace 10 the Government. This
they distinctly and publicly avow, and
teach their followers that resistance
to the authorities is tho right and the
duty Of the people. In proof Of this
charge, so often made, we cite the
leading article in the last Eagle, in
which resistance is openly and boldly
advised and justified by quotations
from the list Of grievances enumerated
in the Declaration Of Independence.
The attempt Of the writer is to create
tho impression that the grounds upon
which the thirteen colonies revoted
& those upon which the Southern States
rebelled, are tho same; and the argu-
ment is to show that the powers cxcr-
cised by the President arc the same
with the usurpations Of George III,
and with the injuries inflicted upon
the people Of the colonies. The lame
logic Of this attempt might be exposed
by showing tho dssimilarity of the
two cases. The tyranny of the King
Of Great Britain was exercised upon II
peaccablo and ohedicnt people, before
there was any revolt, while the pow
crs exercised by the President arc
powers granted by the Constitution
and the laws of Congress, and cXer-
ciscI to maintain the Government
and suppress gigantic and causclcss
rebellion.
1t is not our purpose, however, in
this article to defend tho Administers
ton. Our object is to show once
moro that those who control the So
called Democratic party Of this coun-
ty arc in sympathy with the rebel
lion, aud are cndcavorjng to incitc
open resistance TO tho Government
Tho article says; "If then these acts
on the part of King George III were
tyMnnical, and justified resistance
are they not also tyrannica) and
wrong in Abraham Lincoln? Ar} \

The approaching draft will be II ad,
