Tho Forthcoming Message of the President.
| WASHINGTON, November n.
Probably never before was thero creator interest
manifested in forthcoming annual Message of
the President than is evincod in regard to that
which is to DO presented to Congress by Mr. john
| son next wooS. To ailay this anxiety, there have
respondents Of the Northern journals as to the
measures to be recommended i'll that Mes
sage but up to this time it N may be safely
Mr.. johnson has not made KNOWN positively,
| the character of his proposed message, and yet
enough is known through some who have recently
had confidential conversations with tho President
to enable them to divine its true, and to state with
almost absolute certninty somo Of the measures
that will be recommended to Congress-. First,
then it's tone is-foF the nlesHaae il already pro.
pared conchistory; or, more properly, 1t may bq
tomper which soulo have supposed Mr.. Johnson
would indulge in.
And again, those who arc under tho impression
that the President is determined to carry ont what
is termed "SIy policy" will be dcccivodif thoy OK
poet in the Message propositions looking to the
further prosecution of of that policy for Mr. John
storing the Southern States remains to be done,
far as the Executive has power to net. Ho claims
that all that remains unfinished of his policy ia the
admission of legally elected loyal representatives.
and that work belongs solely to Congress.
| Since Mr.. johnson has occupied tho Presidential
chair he e-ths not doomed any further amendments
! to the Constitution necessary; but in tho forth
coming message, in view OF the exigoncics Of the

election of President and viee-President directly
by the votors Mt large, without regard to stato

II is not expected that Mr.. johnson will pro-
poso action on tho amnesty question by Congress-
inasmueh as he holds that, under tho Constitu-
amnesty and pardon, and therefore he will not
propose that Congress legslate upon TINT subject:
A considerable portion OF the Message is devoted
sy with tho British Government about tho A1aba-
MA claims, tho Mexican protectorate, so.called,
and the action Of our Government with reference
to tho failure Of Napoleon to withdraw portion OF
his troops from Mexico during this month, as he
agreed to do. Such, it is believed, are some OF the
