duction of our circulating paper me- dum need not necessarily follow. This would depend on the law of de- mand and supply; though it should be borne in mind that by making legal tenders and bank notes convertible in coin or it's equivalent at the present par value, would be to enhance one hun dred per cent, the various issues of our the sameis alluded to at some length. Then the president declares that equal and exact justice requires that all the creditors of the government should be paid in a currency of equal value-not gold for one and paper for another. He favors the measure of retiring our paper currency, that gold and silver may cease to be articles of traffic and | returns to our avenues of trade. It is unreasonable to expect, he says, a re- turn to a sound currency so long as the government by continuing toissue irredeemable notes fills the channels of circulation with deprecated paper. r The attention of congress is earnest ly invited to the necessity of'thorough revision of our revenue system, and a large reduction of articles taxed is urged. gi.1i AaIssEa 4sh,gla5 ssia
 The president says .peacehas been se- cured with the Indians, but that he has no official details from the commis- sioners. The reports of the interior, navy, war, and post office departments are briefly alluded to; i; but the figures
 have been published already.
 Regarding foreign affairs, the presi
 dent says Mexico is relieved from for eign intervention, and peace reigns in | Central and South America. The Uni ted States were credibly represented at the Paris exposition. and at a gener- al onference of all nations, where an universal system of gold coinage was agreed on. a9a4 s e5 a
 Ofthe Alabama claims, the president speaks as follows: "No arrangement has been reached for the settlements of our claims for British depredations Mp- on the commerce of the United States. have felt it my duty to decline the proposition ofarbitration made by Her Majesty's government, because it has been accompanied by reservations and | Limitations incompatible with the rights, honor and interests of our coun.. try. It is not 10 be apprehended that Great Britain will persist in her refu- | sal to satisfy these just and reasonable claims, which involve the sacred prin- ciples of non~intervention--a principle not more important to the United States than to all other commercial na- tions." a a m @ The .presipent says that treaty has been concluded with the King of Dem mark for the cession of the Islands of | St. Thomas and St. Johns to tire Uni ted States. Thepresident asks pay for Alaska of congress. .3se
 The message concludes as follows |'The abuse of our laws by the prosccu- tion of the African slave trrde from American ports by American citizens, has altogether ceased, and under exist 1 ing circumstances no apprehensions of | it's revival are entertained. Under these circumstances, it becomes a,qnes- ton whether we shall not propose to

asp- Wecive space to-day to a syn

pS- We give space to-day to sym opsis of the Presidents message. We regret that space will not allow the publication of the entire document as we regard it one of the most important papers issuing from the executive chair during this term. The Presi- dent discusses ably the condition of the Southern States, and does not he's itste to express himself opposed to the Congressional plan of reconstruction ; says that the States are not harmoni- 'ously in the Union that the proposed measures are not effectual in the great work of reconstruction:; that any de- parture from the strict letter of the Constitution is wrong, and that the clear duty of Congress is to repeal those laws that have demanded so much of the South, and heaped upon her burthens that she ought not to bear. In the expression of this senti- ment the President will be applauded by every Southern. heet, and the jus tice of the expression will be admitted by honest men not blinded by party prejudice, whether. North or South. The epromisedoendition of reconstruc- tion were plain, and there has been and is no need of departure from it to work the restoration of the Union. For this cause the reconstruction poli- 'cy of Congress is sn oppressive meas- mre, ana cannot be reconciled to right or justice. Concerning the rights of the negro the President is equally plain. The whole South with him be- lieve that the elective franchise ought not to be lightly considered or hastily conferred,; nor, like him, can they be- 1iewethat Congress is justified in deem- ing this matter of enfranchising the negro of such importance as to require a change in the Constitution to effect it. We admirethe force and recognize the justice of the expression, That we cannot do evil that good may come ; the end is not of such importance as to justify the means that are employed fer it's accomplishment,
 Upon the subject of finances the President is clear, and his views will be read with interest by all who are at all concerned for the prosperity of our country ana the equitable arrangement of our finance. His expressed views upon taxation will no doubt meet with the hearty appreciation of our over burthened countrymen, and if his sug- gestions are acted upon, it will certain ly be cause of gratitude North and South. Foreign matters are in this paper ably discussed. The Alabama claims alluded to, and all treated in a becoming manner. While we cannot at all times endorse Mir. Johnson, we do not hesitate to say that his views, as expressed in the message now be- fore us, meet with our hearty approval and could they be carried out, or more properly, were they needed by congress, would greatly conduce to the interest of the whole country, and result in the bringing about of that prosperity and permanent political quiet which by all would be named a bless ing. We commend the abstract of this message, as published in this issue, to our readers for careful perusaL
