"occaslonaI,' on the Message.

[ MY Dear Air. Secretary" the Hon. John W .
FOrney, is not to be caught dirtyng his fingers by
handling the PIesident's Message editorally. The
Press ignores the document in its sanctum and lays
it on the shelf to dry, in this letter dated at We
Ington and signed "0ccasional"l-

torial in the National IteHiy encer. 1t is the old
story OF reachery disguised in some of Mr. Stewards
faded rhetoric, and touched off with the cheap logic
OF an obsequlous Attorney tieneral. SO far iro
original idea, it Is the dismal iteration of rejected
beresles and threadbare falsehOods-so weary that
ii was listened to without an apparent emotion, and
at the end, and before its reading finished, the
galleries were almost cleared.
Even the adherents OF the President in every case
his opponents. held to him by the ties of office,
or the expectation of office have no word to say in
its ylndIcation rne great majorlties in Congress
treated 1t with open Contempt aud laughed at iI
an argument aIhousand times retutedj and as the
last feeble enuncia ION of recreant who, although
universally repudlated by his constituents, is still
weak enough TO adhere to his ''pohcy," and VAN
enough to believe that any class of the people con-
hnue sincerely to favor 1t. The indifference with
which the Message received was not the least
significant event OF the day. ..4.FI.f
The passage of the bill repeating that section OF
The act of Congress, July II, 1862 authorizing the
President to extend amnesty to the Rebels by an
overwhelming vote in the House, is only the begin.

OF Judge Kelley's proposition to dismantle and re-
model the whole internal revenue system, which,

committee. This measure removes the whole pa

President and the Secretary of the Treasury, and
gIyesit TO the Supreme Court of the United States

From the Tribune.

1t is not so much what the President says as what
he declines 70 say The first impression OF the hes-
no allusiOns to Congress hanging on the verge OF
the Government. This is something from an Execu-
for so many months. Mr., Pierce could not have
written a weaker message, Congress would as
readily have heard an essay upon Che cause Of
thunder as this tame and harmless disquisItion
There is much that the President regrets. There
aie some good words from Washington and Jeifer-
son, likewise Jackson. We marvel that his Excel
lency neglected the other fathers OF their oou ntry

The part of the President to reach solution OF the

We believe that there was no feeling OF resent
ment 20 the President not even in the hearts of
she most radical members OF Congress, that would
not have given away before the slightest tendency
'ot the President to harmonize the country. In bis

been supported by amazing majorities on the
popular VOTE and upon the direct issue whether
the policy of the President should DE ratih fled, u
would have been decent aJ least In the Presi-
dent to pay some attention TO that subject, and
to point out II he could, in what particulars
those propositions were harsh, burdensome or
wrong. But he argues as IL nothing had ever
existed which initiated against his own plans,
and he asks Congfess 10 adopt arguments which
can only be sanctioned by perfect forgetfulness
of all that has passed. We do not Imagine that
the President will have the least influence upon
Congress. The ultimatum of the people is the
adoption of the Constitutional Amendments by
the Southern States. Ii they will not do so, it is
not likely that anything more mild and conci-
liatory will be proposed, and something much
more severe will be ad Vocated.

THE DIFFERENCE.-The following is from
the Oregon Herald, and contains much fact
in small space.
'tNo Democratic believer in the right of seces-
sion as a remedy, at the North ever desired to
see the Union destroyed. No advocate of disso>
luton without such cause as would justify revolu-
ton at the Sohth, acknowledged allegiance to the
Democratic party. Neither Calhoun, Yancy,
Rhett, Memnger, or any of their followers, would
acknowledge themselves members of the Demo.
cratic party, because that party did acknow.
ledge the unconditional right of secession. In
l848 Yancy appeared in the Baltimore Democratic
Convention and introduced series of resolutions
embodying the views of the secession party, which
received six votes in the Convention. He with
drew, taking with him Moses, DELEGATE from
Florida, stumped Alabama against Gen. Cass and
shared in the triumph Of the election of Gen. Tay-
lor, with Horace Greedy and the Northern Rad.>
Gals.
1t is further charged by the Radicals that the
'rebels" were all Democrats. II this were true,
it would not at all effect the status of the Democ-
racY of the North, who adhered TO the Union, with
any fair minded man. But the charge is not sup
port by the facts; the official canvass will show
that the votes poled for Breckenridge in the South
ern States were one hundred thousand less than a
majority. From this it is evident that there was
not even majority of Democrats engaged in the
rebellion. Another fact will illustrate this posi-
ton. In Virginia at one time the Federal armies
were commanded by Mcclellan, Meade, Mcdowell
and Burnside; the Confederate armies by Early,
Ewell, Stonewall jackson and Stuart. Not one
OF these Federal Generals had ever voted Re-
publican party ticket; not one of these Confederate
Generals had ever voted Lemocratic ticket"
