We give brief synopsis of the President Message in another column.

 In it the old Public Functionary has equalled all our expectations of him.

 He deprecates secession, but thinks that all of MI. Lincolns antecedents are justly repugnant to the South, and calculated to excite fears in South Carolina He does not think anything will be done--but if there is, the secessionists must take the responsibility. He declares against the right of secession. He hopes the Union may not be destroyed and at any rate that an |" over act" should be waited for. He pronounces the Personal Liberty Laws unconsti tutional, and thinks that the fugitive slave law should be enforced. Upon the great subject of Union or Secession the President seems to en- tertsin hardly an opinion of his own, except a feebly expressed desire that the Union should be maintained. Upon the whole the message will hardly afford satisfaction to either friends or enemies, and will be used only to give basis to the discussions in Congress which involve the momentous future.

 No ope in sentiment or wishes could go far ther than we, in desiring peaceful termination to the threatened troubles and political crisis through which our country is now passing, but we cannot forget that in offering any such so called compromise" to the South-we are giv- ing our humiliation for our pains, and are insult ing our sense of the right and proper, without receiving even the equivalent of accomplishing the desired result.

 We cannot forget that the Fugitive Slave Law of the South-which gave rise in measure to these Liberty Laws of the North-we consid- cred at the time of its passage, and we consider noc, a most unjust, iniquitous and unrighteous law, rcpugnant alike to the instincts of humani- ty, and, if we may judge by revealed inspiration to the divine law itself.

 We cannot forget that this Fugitive Slave Law was forced upon us amid the sneers and taunts of rapacious olgarchy, stretching for ward constantly, with the sinuous advance of the serpent, toward further and further aggrand- izement for itself, and Northern Dough-face tool yelping behind, "We will subdue your'

 We cannot forget that these Personal Liberty Bills were introduced as a measure of seyf.oe- fence, for abresk-water, whereby we might make stand against the flood of Slavery, which un- der such majority, threatened to overwhelm us, and having been declared by the highest tribu- nals to be constitutional, it would argue in us 8 want of common sense to pull down the fabric which renders at least one portion of the coun- trv home of the free and land for the op- pressed.

 It appears to us, as fully as it is expressed by the South, that the time for compromise, for trucking for backsllding is past. If we cannot stand upon the principles we profess, and upon which we have come out of the late presidential contest conquerors-if we are asked to yield up everything which we regard as plain dictates of conscience to the hoarse howls of |" we will sub due you, in heavens name lot us stand upon our honor, and our conscience, and take the con- sequences If South Carolina and other cotton states, wish then to go out of the Union, let them take the consequences also.

BURMESE WREsTLERs.-Ko-Phoo and negro en-
tered the arena first and commenced operations. The
preliminary maneuyers between the opponents were
exceedingly amusing. IL Itappeared to me that Sam
bO did not exactly comprehend the kind of warfare
in which he was to engage in, for he commenced
sparring out after the most approved fashion, If
he were expected to take part in pugilistic en-
counter. The Burman kept about him at little
distance, dodging round with peculiar kind Of
hop, with his body slightly bent towards bis an-
tagonist, and thrusting out his hand and dragging
it back again, with motion as if he wanted to
touch the others flesh, but burst not for fear of
getting burnt. Sometimes he would with amazing
quckness thrust his face pretty closely within the
others reach, when the negro would make bic
straight out would be sure to miss his object,
amidst screams of laughter from the spectators.
Amusing as this sort of fun was, we were begin
ming to think il was m0notonous, when the Bur-
man made quick and sudden motion, seized
Sambo near the hip with one hand, and with
maneuver, executed with such suddenness and
dexterty to be UNDESIRABLE to any but the most
attentive spectator, threw him over his head, and
brought him fat on his back upon the saw dust.
This was evidently a different sort of thing from
what Sambo had bargained for. He arose, before
the plaudits announcing Ko-Phoo's victory had
ceased, and resOlutely SPARED out again he made
a blow at the champion, which that individual
luckily eontrived to avoid, or he would probably
nave Deef hurI, anu ioilo"eu uP 'ne ettsSA fiSpf-
ously. Ko-Phoo, however, watched his opportu-
nifty. and repeated the achievement, this time
hinging Sambo with such force upon the ground,
that he was glad to retire from the arena, leaving
Ko-P Phoo to his prizes Of silk and muslin. The
artillery man came next. He was q tall, stout,
muscular Irishman, and apparently q scientific
wrestler and he, too turned out no match for ko-
Phoo He was, however, to do him justice. a far
more formidable opponent to the Burman than was
the negro, and Ko-Phoo seemed to appreciate the
fact. He was unequal to the Burman in skill not
withstanding, and he, also, had to endure the
modification of defeat.-Fou Years IN Bnrnah
