Mrs. TyIer,s Flag.

The reported capture OF a rebel nag
from the house of Mrs. TYLER, widow OF
an ex-President of the United States, by
the rowdies whom the telegraph called
"a band of patriotic young men," has
come to a most lame and impotent con-
clusion," as the following letter will
show:
HEADQUARTERS DEPT OF H EAST,
New YORK CITY, May %. !
Mps. TYLER: / am directed by Major
General Dix to return the flag taken from
vour bouse on Staten Island by a party
of yonng men several weeks ago, IN to
saw that he is satisfied from the testlmo-
nv before him that it was made elght
years ago for a child's flag, and was used
as sncb long before the rebellion.
He also directs me to say that no one
could possibly mistake it for a rebel flag
and that in the examination he MADE,
nothing has been disclosed to warrant
| the intrusion of the young men referred
to OH your premises.
I nm. madam, very respectfully yours,
WILSON BARsTOw,
CAPTAIN and Aid-de-Camp.
This was one of those exhibitions OF
mob spirit which occurred soon after the
assassination of the President and OF
which. we trust, the authors are now
thoroughly ashamed. An effort was
made to damage the reputation of a most
estimable lady, by circulating the story
all over the country, by telegraph, that {
rebel flag had been found in Mrs. TYLER''
house. This denial should be as widely
circulated as was the original caluinny

The Presidents Message,

This important document was received
too latc for publication in our present issue
but we shall give it in our extra some time
during the coming week.
The Missouri Republican gives the
following abstract Of the leading features
of tho Message:
After the customary expression Of graft
tude to God, and an allusion TO the tragic
death of his predecessor, President john
SON refers TO the perpetual nature of the
American Union Of States, and TO the limi-
tauons upon the General and tho State
Governments. The idea of Capitalization
of power is repudiated, and the necessity
of seperate State organizations fully main
tanned and illustrated. $50 long, says the
President, ''as the Constitution of the Unit
ed States endurcs, the States will endure"
and, according 10 his view, the existence Of
the former depends upon the preservation
of the latter. 1t is upon this theory of the
mutual relations of the States and the
General Govern nent that President john
son has ba sed the measures of his Admin
isiration, avoiding extreme notions of State
rights, such as taught the dangerous doc
trine of secession, and, on the other hand,
that "Radicsln couceit which suggests the
assumption by the Government of those
functions usually exercised by the States
respectively.
Of some of the effects Of civil war, under
which the States were suffering, even after
the close of the war, when the author Of
this Message succeeded to the Presidency,
he has some practically sensible remarks.
Mr.. johnson is, from this document, evil
IDENTIFY no believer in the alleged benihcence
Of military governments. He opposes them
as offering no security for the suppression
Of discomfort, as making invidious divis-
ions Of the people, and as stimulating mall
ice and hatred where affection and conf
dence should be promoted. He notices, al
so, the deleterious influence Of the reign
Of the bayonet upon industry and immi-
grafton, and alludes to the arbitrary pow
ers which this Kind Of snii-republican rule
confers as perilous 10 liberty. The Presi-
dent reiterates his ofi-repeated declaration,
in opposition 10 the Radicals Of the school
Of Sumner, Wade, Chase, whiting Conway,
ct al. that no State has ceased to be within
the Union on account Of the secession, but
all are legally and rightfGily under the
exercise or the functions Of the General
Government and subject to its iaEE and
necessarily, therefore, entitled 10 its proiec-
tion and benefits.
In respect to The powers conferred upon
de President, he refers incidentally 10 that
Of giving Tsr5ons, and declares very justly

FRANKFORT, Ky, Dec. s.

Gov. Bramlette's message says
Kentucky furnished to Federal ar
mics, mostly three years men, 63,
975 white and 25,53S colored sol
diers, and remarking in connection
that ours was not the loyalty which
draws it's subsistence from promised
profit and it's courage from distant
danger, but that unyielding devo-
ton to principle which neither loss
of property present danger could
overcome. He recommends each
county to organize company to
support the civil authorities. The
Governor says the result Of the war
has been such as to forever Danish
the heresy of secession. The war
has determined the impracticability
of secession, and itonly remains for
the judiciary to decide that seces-
sion is treason to have the subject
frmer and finally adjusted. This
adjudication ldproperly be had
in the case of the chief of the rebel
lion to make it a precedent for all
time to come The Governor argues
that the adoption of the Constitu-
tional amendment would give per-
pctual indemnity against the at
tempt to control the question of suf-
fraee through the Federal powers,
and recommends the adoption be-
cause slavery has ceased to exist,
and universal emancipation has
made freedom thoroughly national.
The question "what is to become Of
the negro" the Government leaves
to time to solve. He recommends
the invitation of a superior class of
laborers to develop the mineral and
agricultural resources of the State,
and suggests modes whereby such
laborers may be attracted hither.

A MASONIC PRoTEsT.-The Free
Masons of Holland have addressed
an indignant letter to the Pope, in
which they make the following
strong avertments
That Masonry is above all relig-
ious and philosophical systems, be-
cause it makes no distinction ofper-
sons, and because its object is to
make humanity better and worthier
When religion swerves from the
above mentioned doctrine, and yet
pronounces itself to be a supreme
truth, and the instrument in the
hands of the people to further the
progress of civilization, we deem IL
our duty to declare that such re-
ligion places itself hey ond the pale
of humanity, and that the common
sense of man should discard IFS
teachings.
