PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

r,r-rsss assembled on Monday last, and the Mes
.,,f the President Of the United States was de-
5.-,-.I about two O'Clock. We think we need Of
y. rospology to our readers for the surrender of
much Of our space to its publication, to the exclu-
..,o Of other matters. Ii is document Of great
Iteration, and vet presents an argument unan-
,srabs in the ecrrectness Of its narrative and in

. clear lndensed, and, in our Judgment, lrresist-

SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.

The radicals have been trying to wkecdlethe Fe-
-as with professions 81 great sympathy for OPP

o. .ie South an representation in the councils OF

Parliament-the South is not only denied a place
in tn, government but abused and stigmatised as
less entitled 60 decent treatment than the negroes.
