Presidents Message.

The greater portion of our paper this
week is devoted TO the lengthy message OF
President johnson, the most Of which we
publish, and the balance will appear in
our next. The message is mostly made
up of the usual stale argument against the
reconstruction policy of Congress, which
the President characterizes as unjust and
unconstitutional and advises its abandon
ment. We are at loss to account fol-
these repeated filings at the peoples rep
resentativcs, who certainly arc as well
qualified to judge Of the law and the Con-
stitution as is President johnson. lie is
either a consummate egotist, an unpar-
douable old fogy, or else most peryersely
logged in his disposition. Why does he
continue to step outside Of his duties as
the Executor Of the laws Of Congress, to
denounce Congress, the aw-making pow
err more especially when Congress have
passed the law over his veto2 Is he better
capable of judging what is just and right,
than the assembled wisdom Of the nation2
We are glad TO see Congress placing itself
upon its dignity, by reproying this insult
on the part Of the Executive.

The Finances.

Now that tho impeachment question
has finally been placed at rest, it is to be
hoped that Congress will 90 to work on
the question Of the Finances, aud adopt
some policy that will be in accordance
with tue wish Of tho great mass of the PEG.
pie. Let the capitalists, bankers, bond
holders, &C., know that some other PEG.
pies interests are to be consulted besides
their own. The great mass of farmers
aud working men in this country have The
right to be heard by our Legislators, aud
their interests must be considered Of par.
amount importance. We hope to hear OF
no more successful lobbying and buying
up of Congressman by rich capitalists.
Our Representatives must take hold Of the
financial question with rim, and see if
something cannot be done to case the bur-
dens Of the poorer classes. Ii they do
not do this, the Democracy will triumph
at the next election, and that, too. over
whslmingly. The great mass Of our peo.
pie demand equal taxation, and Why can
not this be granted them? Let there be
some measures adopted that will stop the
wholesale speculation of monied men, aud
let the poorer classes the honest working
men, have their proper share in the aceu-
mutation Of means for the support Of them
selves and their families. Our Represent
stves will consult their own interests by
caring for the interests Of the whole peo-
pie. Better give the cold shoulder to the
money monopolsts, and adopt measures
in the interest Of the great mass Of the
people the telling millions who are
groaning under heavy taxes aud strin-
gent money market. Upset the present
order Of things, and so little to the ex-
IRENE, if need be, to benefit the people;
for the people rule this Government, aud
their wishes plRst be consulted by those
whose duty il is to provide the proper
remedies, else other men will be appoint
ed who will not misrepreseRt them. Let
us have wise and just financial policy,
and let il be promptly decided upon after
proper deliberation.

LETTER FROM HARRISON.

HARRISON, q, Dec. 10Th, 1867.
Dear Amcrican,-lt is somewhat diff
cult to decide what subjects 10 ireSt oil IN
this eiiusion. We have no events ofst.ik
ing importance to chronicle, and " idi
to make my letter interesting, you must
take the twill for the deed"
The cold weather has put sudden stop
to all building aud other improvements
of that character. but business continues
pretty fair, and our merchants and traders
wear tolerable pleasant countenances.
am pleased TO report that our friends
in Harrisop. whether moved thereto by
my mention Of the subject in former
communication or not, have, as | am in.
formed, organized Society for mutual
Improvement" 10 meet once each week
l hope they may not only derive great
benefit themselves, but induce many more
to unite with them aud aid in the good
work.
The Fair for the benefit of the ST.
Johns Catholic Church has been in pro-
gress since the ID inst, and is meeting
with very satisfactory success, the Hall
being well flied. especially every evening,
by those attending and patronizing the
Fair.
When the church ed6ces now in pro
gress of erection by the Catholics aud
Complexities are completed, we will have
more fine churches than almost any other
town Of the same population in the West.
And now, whilst speaking Of churches,
/ would ask, why is it that we SO often
hear of difficulties, disagreements and dis
graceful wranglings in churches on the
subject of Choirs? am led 10 speak of
this, because, just at this time, | have
heard it intimated that one of our church
es is in serious difficulty on this vexed
question. Personally, to this subject l
have given some thought, and, | may say,
have passed through more than one ex-
perience Of the troubles caused by II, and
my settled conviction amounts to abou.
this: After hearing all the arguments on
the question, the trouble more frequently
grows out of old fogyism, apart from all
real principle, than anything else. How
can choirsinging interfere with the en-
ioyments of an individual or eongrega-
ton that would not meet with the same
trouble from the leading of any single in
dividual? And further, | would ask these
old, firmly established Christians, If they
cannot with all their experience and fix
ed principles, prevent this subject dsqui-
citing their pious souls? have they no
charity for the young, the lambs OF the

joint Stock AqriouIturaI Society.

At meeting OF the Fanklin County
Agricultural Society at the Court House
on Saturday last, a Joint Stock Agricul-
tural Society was formed. g. B. Bentley
was chosen President, Sam'l p. Roberts
Vice President, John King Treasurer,
l.. Ii. Raymond Secretary, w. o. Rucker
Marshal, aud c. Ii. Bingham Printer. A
committee was appointed TO perfect con-
tract with VIM. Butler ESQ, for eighteen
acres of land lying directly north Of the
Brookvile and Connersville toll gate,
East Of said turnpike and North and East
of tho residence of Rev. j. b. Dole, cx.
tending from the Turnpike mentioned to
the Brookyille and Fairfield road. We
are informed that stock will soon be in
the market, and as it must readily sell,
the work Of fitting up the new grounds
will doubtless be commenced early in the
Spring and pushed forward to a speedy
completion. The old grounds Of the So
ciety will be sold, and at least half of the
money ga, OOQ>Eequired for the purchase
Of the new f0urds raised in ihissway.
The Society have every reason 10 congrat-
ulate themselves on getting rid Of the old
"pod-auger' way Of doing business. which
experience has taught to be failure, and
the people may now depend on having a
Society, Grounds and Exhibitions that
will do them credit at home and abroad.

Grant Meeting in New York

The feature Of the great Grant meeting
in New York was the speech of General
Sickles. The resolutions are such as an
earnest man would be strongly disposed to
spit upon, but the speech referred to,
which was warmly applauded, has the ring
Of the true metal, aud elected such ex-
pressions from the large audience us leave
no doubt that the meeting was thoroughly
Republican 10 feeling. The sentiments Of
General Grant, as represented by General
Sickles, are fully up to the platform Of the
Union people. and are broad enough aud
radical enough for every Union man to
stand upon Gazette.
