The Presidents Message.

We give below, although rather late.
some oi the comments of the pres, ON the
message -
On the whole. this Message cannot well
have amy important influence ia shaping
the legislation oi Congress non IN form
ing the public opinion upon the subjects
il discusses. Yet, il viii alternate tcw or
none of the Presidents personal support
els. and Will strongly confirm the convic
ton ct millions OF people that he Is a
sale, honest. prudent ,,ud P~uIOi.c officer

On the whole. we find much more %
approve than 10 condemn In The Message
and believe that it will be ttyorably re.
garded 10y a large majority OF the Amer
lean people Tribune.

The humane tone pervaG.ug his address
is one OF It's chief titles 10 high praise

American should iail TO read it, Without,
the rugged homeliness aud quaint power
of L;ncolu'S addresses, il still appeals %
the common mind in is plain and per-
spicu1us treatment Of important national
measures, and, On the whole, may justly
be considered 4 model state papcl.-BCs-

senseless talk about Gen Grants jobs,
