The Presidents Mess &c.

The Presidents Message, which we
lay before our readers this morning, is
somew hat brief for such paper, with but
few recommendations and very moderate
in its general tone. Upon the Southern
question, regarding which his opinions
have been looked for with a large degree
OF interest, he declares that he will do all
in his power to bring to justice offenders
in the South against the laws of the Unit
ed States, and that the Congress for which
the late elections were held should exam
inc into and determine the validity of the
claims OF members to their seats. We do
not see that the President advises any new
legislation for the protection of the OPP
pressed and wronged people of the South
who are deprived of the right of suffrage,
but he makes a vigorous declaration that
the people OF this country will take care
of that matter themselves, ia which lac is
Enthusiastically correct. We fear his appeal
to The legislatures and courts Of the South
ern States to assist in correcting the
wrongs inflicted upon colored pc, pie and
white republicans within their borders
will be all in vain, also his suggestion that
the coming Congress ought to expel hose
who obtain seats there by frauds and in
timidation in the late election.
The review of the financial condition of
the country is quite pleasing, showing as
it does progress in the right direction.
No recommendations in regard to The cur
rency and resumption are made, but the
President is evidently in accord with the
measures adopted by the Secretary of the
Treasury. and has full faith in the success
full resumption ofspecie payments.
