The Presidents Message.

We this week publish a synopsis Of
President Lincoln's third annual message
Its language is more dignifed and less
wandering aHd obscure than that of last
years Message, and its tone is more sub
dued and less suggestive of an effort to
create melodramatic effects. Nsverthe-
leSs, it is vague and superficial. 1t deals
carelessly with those points that are Of
paramount interest to the public, and evin-
ces no statesmanlike analysis of the polti-
eel situation. 1t sheds no ray Of hope
upon the future. PerusiDg it with vague
expectation of finding some clue that may
lead out of the dismal labyrinths of inter
sectional dissension, the patriot will put il
aside with sigh, painfully conscious that
it neither solves nor was intended to I've
the terrible saigama, 1t IS eIophatic and
plain spoken only when it afrms that the
war shall be prosssu4sdyt 10 the bitter end,
