ing of the present condition of the
country, is reminded of the condition
of France in the days of Richelieu,
when "sloth was in the mort and
schism within the temple" It's rem
edy is the nomination OF Grant. 1t
says:


What the country wants is not an
old politician, against whom partizan
mAlignity exists, but one who has the
confidence of the entire people. Such
n man is Grant; he is acceptable to the
entire country, and, being so, the poll

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.

The Congress of the United States is now in session-its action will materi- ally affect the interest of the whole Southern country, and many hope, set tle and fix our condition beyond the interfcrence of men and parties. Yet we apprehend that the passion of party is still in too lively exercise to allow a calm and dispassioned consideration of national questions. Radical hatred to the South is~so deep seated, that not withstanding, wisdom should charac- terize the deliberations of Congress, and the good cfthe whole mtion should be their chief concern; prejudice is in their mind, and old measures will be re-canvassed and new ones devised to throw upon the South an additional burthen of wrong, aud.render the fu- ture to us more gloomy than the past. The great work of settling the recon struction of the Southern States, in ac- cordance with the plan by them devised, rests upon the present Congress. The different States of the South having voted upon themselves convention, must after presenting constitution to the people, submit it to Congress and await their action in the matter, before taking their place in the Union, if a place be allowed them. The much talk ed ofimpeachme ent plan must take form during this session or die out entirely. This setting of Congress will be looked upon with interest by the whole coun- try North and South. The North. through its action, looking for the es- tablishment of permanent political party the South for decided action for or against her prosperity.

that have great confidence in your politi-

you upon some unimportant points, bearing
upon reconstruction, l am free to say, that
in the main you have been right.

improper or disloyal feeling towards Con-
gress or the North, but from an earnest desire
to embrace the most (as we supposeD expe-

get back quickly, was what we most desired,
the manner of accomplishing it mattered not.
An earnest wish pervades all classes of our
people that the country may be at peace, and
all wish speedy reconstruction of the gov
ernment, and will accept in good faith the
plan now proposed by Congress, and will
give the best possible evidence of their ap-
proval through public meetings, at the bal
lot-box, &c. Iwould gladly give my sup
port in the promotion of that object, but,
unfortunately, fall within the excepted class.
shall, however, on all proper occasions, ad
wise our peopleto organize, and at the proper
time, that they select delegates that will, in
every way, be acceptable to the people at
home and unexceptionable on account of
previous political differences to the dominant
party in Congress. This must be dOne 1t

whose actions, speeches and resolves will be

infinitely worse There nop can be no halt
