THe Presidents Message.
Mr. Buchanan dwells at length upon
the Kansas question. We thought
that matter settled, at least we were
told so by those who ought to know .
He might well have passed the subject
by in silence. No one will feel greater
respect for him, that he has ascribed
the rejection of the Lecompton Consti
tution to a disapproval of the Land Or
dinance of Congress. Everybody knows
better.
He congratulates the country upon
the quiet which prevails ill that territo
ry-hut he omits to mention, ns a cause
of the stillness, the defeat of the South
and her expulsion forever from that
soil. We will supply what he has
omitted by humbly suggesting that the
South has seen the futilitygof a fur
ther struggle, and has-abandoned the
field to the victorious possession of free
soilers.
The President felicitates himself up
on the issue of the Mormon War,
and would have the public believe
there was honor in the humiliation of
federal authority before the rebel vaga
bonds of Utali They are a good set of
people, who were guilty only of slight
indiscretions in burning two forts, in
destroying the seventy-five wagons be
longing to the United States, contain
ing provisions and tents ; in stampeding
the animals belonging to the army,in ha
rassing the troops and cutting off strag
glers ; in blockading the roads ; in in
citing thelndians to massacre emigrants,
in resisting the federal laws and expel
ling federal officers from the territory.
We have been green enough to imag
ine that these freaks constituted the
crime of treason, which we find is only
a mild form of crime; while the trans
portation of a few naked negroes from
Africa to Cuba is a heinous offence.
Peace commissioners, Poweli. and Me-1
Cblloch have immortalized themselves
by begging Morman rebels and traveL
ers to accept a pardon ; while the Fed
eral Courts are doing their best to haug
a few helpless sailors for doing what all
New England did a few years ago. It
is no crime to set law at defiance, if one
has political iniiuenca like Brigham
Young, but it is a monstrous iniquity
in one wiio may happen to he humble.
Such is the plain English of the acts of
the old gentleman who is at, the head
of affairs at Washington.
The President says that the Spanish
Government owes our cititizeus some
one hundred and twenty odd thousand
dollars but won’t pay ; and further
that this government owes Spanish citi
zens an amount for claims in the Amis
ted case. He suggests that we ought
to pay,'and hints at an appropriation
for that purnose. How would it do—
we merely suggest because the President
didn't—to draw an order in favor of
the Amisted claimants, on the Spanish
Treasury and let the order when paid
he charged as an offset against what is
due to our citizens. We could thus pay
our own folks and let Spanish credit
satisfy the demands of Spanish subjects.
Or is it possible that some influential
persons in this country have an interest
in the payment of the Amisted claims
and that they prefer American gold to
Spanish faith? If so be, why—of course
nobody’s political game ought to be in
jured by doing things in a strightfor
vvavd and simple way 1
We further learn that Mexico owes
our people eleven millions of dollars,
it is advised by the old gentleman to
take- one or two Mexican States in pay
ment ! We object, because Uncle Sam
has already more land than he can use, ;
nor can we see the advantage of buying
farms to give awayto European paupers,
and then incurring the expense of sup- ■
porting territorial governments tokeep 1
them from cutting each others throats.
Besides, we have just as many “greas
ers ” and Camanches now as do us any
credit. If the South has even gained a
dollar in money or in security by the
purchase of such possessions as Utah —
New Mexico and Arizona, we confess itis
a notch above our abilities to say where
the benefit is. If we had never owned
Utah, we should never have had the
Mormon War at a cost of several mil
lions.
Arizona is a case in point. Mr. Bc-
Chax'an says there is great necessity for
the establishment of a territorial gov
ernment in that region to protect its
inhabitants from predatory bands of
Indians and Mexicans. Why we should
desire to acquire more of the same sort
of country and the same sort of people
does not very distinctly appear to us.—
We hope our Southern people will
sometime see the impropriety of pur
chasing land out of’which to make free
States. It is too much like buying bull
dogs to keep us out of our own yards.
We are told that the island of Cuba
muse be purchased if possible, and the
old gentleman asks sos some money
with which to buy the said property.
If it is desirable to furnish an immedi
ate opportunity to Virginia and other
border States of selling off their slaves,
the plan of purchasing Cuba will most
effectually reach the end. And the way
in which Mr. Buchanan spends money,
shows him to he a proper personage to
squander it.
The message exhibits a perfect famil
iarity with all the complicated machine
ry of the government, and shows that
the President has not passed a long life
in the public service to no purpose.—
While we cannot endorse his manage
ment of our territorial difficulties, or
his policy in reference to Mexico, Cuba
and Central America, the success of his
1 diplomatic negotiations with China ami
Japan arc just causes of gratulation and
pride to every American. And the mes
, sage exhibits a straightforward and
manly course in reference to aggressions
on our flag, which we trust will he car
ried out.
Manufactures are to be protected by
, raising the tariff. We doubt if the sug
gestions of the President will meet the
, views of any considerable portion of the
Democratic party. The South already
bears the great burden of supporting
. the government; and cannot afford to
I bow her neck to further burdens to ap
pease the disaffection of the iron woik
ers and spinners of the North—hut if
they demand it, we shall probably submit
with our accustomed humility.
But this question, and the construc
tion of the Pacific Eailroad, will doubt
less engage the attention of Congress,
when there will he time to canvass
their merits freely.
His recommendation of a return to
higher rates of postage, and his rea
sons therefor, seem to fix upon the
President the mark of an old fogy. If
1 the franking privilege were abolished
the revenues of thefgoverninent would
be materially increased ; and if th*ful
minations of our delegates in Con
gress are not worth the postage of cir
culars to those who get them, they can
be dispensed with. And indeed, if the
Tost Office must he brought to a stand
ard which will make it pay its own ex
penses, we do not see why the same rule
should not apply to all the Departments.
The message may be regarded a com
prehensive and ingenious document, but
candor compels us to say that it is not
eminently Democratic,and savors smart
ly of that ancient Federal school of pol- i
itics of which the President was an early
disciple.
Georgia Marble Works.
We would call attention to the ad
vertisement of Messrs. Summky aud Huu- '
lick, dealers in Georgia marble. Their
works have been established many years
and we are pleased to learn that they
lare in a prosperous condition.
Glnd to Hear It.
’ We felt relieved on yesterday when
: the telegraph announced that Stephen
A. Douglas had left New Orleans for
Washington City via Havana. We had
feared that he would take the inland
route, and that the toadies of the towns
and cities on the way would make
themselves as ridiculous with their ol
sequious attentions as the people of New
Orleans and Memphis had done. While
Mr. Douglas deserves to be treated with
the consideration due a man of great
talents, he has done nothing to entitle
him to he lionized in the South. Even
in his reception speeches, which we con
ceive to be in bad taste, he has repeated
his squatter-sovereignty heresies, and
openly proclaimed tko right of the peo
ple of the territories to exclude slavery
by unfriendly legislation. We repeat
that we are glad he did not come this
way, and trust the day may never come,
when the political atmosphere of our
State will be congenial to his odious
doctrines, or when our people will be so
blinded by party fealty, or so hungry
for party plunder, as to herald, as a
conquering prince, one who carries the ;
blade of Joab in his scabbard, and
whose entire pretensions to friendship
have been a delusion and a mockery.
Southern Literary Messenger.
This favoiite periodical for December
is at hand, full as usual of good things.
Its leading article is an address on the
question—“ls slavery consistent with
natural law?” delivered before the Vir
giuia Agricultural Society, by James P.
Holcombe, aud is an able paper. “ Ex
cerpts from the Lee Papers,” are full of
interesting remiuisences, and the “Story
of Blannerhassett,” throws new light
upon his romantic history. The Mes
senyer ought to be in every library iu the
land. It is a good time to subscribe for I
the new volume. Terms $3 a year.

Always wide awake, aud ahead of
time, here is the genial old Knick for
January. It comes too, in a new garb,
a bright counterpart of the old. It has
an elegant steel engraving of Byron— an
exquisite poem by the author of “Tha
natopsis,” and a number of articles on
subjects now engrossing public atten
tion. One on the “Jews” is worthy of
perusal, and a terse and sarcastic paper
on the “London Athenmum” takes off
the detraction of American authors by ,
our trails-Atlantic cousins, in a very
scathing manner. Other articles are ,
worthy of note, but everybody should
read them for themselves. Lewis Gay- ■
lord Clark and Dr. James 0. Noyes are
the editors, and John A. Gray, 16 and
18 Jacob street, N. Y., is the Publisher.
We cannot, just now, publish Iris adver- 1
risemeut, but we will endeavor to give
him quid pro quo for an exchange, and
we trust he will not think of cutting
our acquaintance.
Election ix' Columbus. —At the mu
nicipal election in Columbus, F. G.
Wilkins was elected by a majority of
35 votes over W. 11. Hoi-stead. The
vote stood, Wilkins 388, Holstead 353. j
The principal issue was the new
bridge, a part of the citizens being op
posed to receiving it, believing it an un
safe structure. So says the Enquirer.
jjiT .TAMEs Beeand was shot in Colum
bus on Saturday night, by James Childs,
causing a dangerous wound. A Mid
Pinckabd was dangerously cut on the
same day by Mr. A. C. McGeiiee. Co
lumbus is rather a fast town, if we may
judge of the number of rows reported
in the columns of its daily papers.

• Our Rt-lnCionx-vvllli Frntac.
The Washington Union contains an
article on the policy of “ France on
American Politics,’ ’ from which we ex
tract as follows :
“ If France is to be heard in Mexico
and Central America, we must he heard
in Italy, in Turkey, in all Europe, in
deed. We maintain that all the abso
lutistic governments, are temporary in
their very nature; that they are pro
visional institutions, to be enforced only
till such times as the people can he en
lightened and prepared to assume con
trol ; that the source of all rightful
government is in the people. In this
view, the institutions of the United
States are the only permanent political
organizations of the world ; and lienee
we have a sovereign right to interfere
elsewhere, that we may hasten on the
work of universal assimulation to our
system.”
That smacks pretty smartly of the
manifest destiny doctrine, to be sure.
| Yet, and the governments of
Europe are to interfere to prevent the
unstable and insecure governments of
this continent from doing as they please,
theye is certainly no reason why we
should not take the same liberty with!
the tottering governments of Europe.
All, as we conceive, a very illegitimate
and dangerous business.
Condition of the Southern Pacific
Railroad*
At a recent meeting of the New Or
leans subscribers to the stock of the
Southern Pacific railroad, Colonel Mills
made some interesting and encourag
ing statements concerning the prospects
aud condition of this road. From his
statement wc learn that the parties who
had forced the sale of the road in Texas
had been constrained, by public opin-j
ion in Harrison county, and the country j
generally, to agree to a compromise, j
the basis of which had been proposed j
by Dr. Fowlkes. The terms were that
a committee of five gentlemen should,
he appointed to lay down the conditions j
of the compromise, aud both parties]
entered into bonds of $500,000 tojibide]
by the decision of the committee. Its ]
most important feature was, that the:
stockholders should provide for the]
payment of the amounts due to the]
company which had forced the sale, in
three, five and seven months. The]
amount of claims made by the selling ]
company was $227,000, but he had noj
doubt the committee would reduce the ]
total amount of their claims to $200,000.
The company has 25 miles of road
completed aud in running order, at a
cost of $22,000 per mile, worth, there
fore, $550,000 ; of land accruing they ]
have 259,000 acres, which at the low
estimate of $5 per acre, will produce
$1,080,000, making a total of $1,6-30,000.
Deducting $400,000 for the indebted
ness [of the company, far above the
mark as well as could be ascertained, j
would leave $1,230,000 of unincumber
ed assets. On the completion of 50
miles at a corresponding cost, making j
the amount of its value $1,100,000, j
there will be 512,000 acres of land ac-1
cluing, which, at the same rate, will be |
worth $2,560,000, and the State loan of]
$300,000, making the total of the as-]
sets then $3,960,000. This would be I
an ample basis on which to. build tlie |
next 50 miles at a cost of $1,000,000;]
and in a like, or rather, in a much ]
greater ratio, the means of the compa- ]
ny will be augmented as the work pro
gresses.
An instalment of 25 per cent on the
stock subscribed, has been called for,
to meet the immediate liabilities.—
Stockholders are responding freely to
the call, and it is believed that this
compauy will be able to go on without
further delay or trouble to the comple ]
tiou of their great enterprise.
Creating a Breeze.
The publication by the New York
Herald of the President’s Message, in
advance of its delivery to other papers
in New York, is creating quite a breeze
in Washington. It is said that the
President expressed himself as greatly
incensed at the favoritism shown, and
that investigations are going on with a
view of ascertaining how the Herald ob
tained the advance copy. The package;
of messages was sent to Collector Schell )
who did not receive authority to deliv-1
er until after three o'clock on Monday,
three quarters of an hour 'after the
Herald extra had been issued.
The President sent the message to i
New York last year by one Mr. Shaw, j
then an attache of the Herald, and this I (
year by one Mr. Phillips, another attache. j 1
The package was to he delivered to the |
Collector of the Port in both instances, [
but the papers say there is the best rea- £
son for believing that private copies 1
were enclosed for that print, which gave 1
it an exclusive advantage over the whole
press of New York.

Mexico. —We learn from the special

that important dispatches have been

I Juarea to negotiate a tieaty at Wash-
I ington for the settlement of all Ameri

, Rif 1 ' A Giver Kennedy.—The
k ! Liver, according to Physiologist?, occupies in
. ! our human economy a place second only to the .
r • heart, and consequently is one of the greatest
! dispensers of health and happiness, or sickness
and disease. To keep the liver in the proper
r : performance of its duties is to kee p the system
in a state o t health, and free from all bodily i'ls. j
Dr. Sandford’s IN VIGOR ATOR is a great Regc- j
la tor of the Ijvf.r. It instills into it new life 1
and vigor, strengthens it, and invigorates it, i
! curing the fountain from whence so many,
| streams of sickness flow. We say to all who
1 are troubled with any derangement of tlie Liv- j
! er, such as Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sick Headache, j
i Biliousness or debility of system, do not fail to !

Theiv r ea tP i* oblem
Solved J—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
DLAL.—Tfce dyspeptic patieut, whose stomach
i has lost the power of duly converting food into a
I life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
: course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
! fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
! nutriment , which was a load and a burthen to
' the sufferer, while his digestive organization was ;
| paralyzed amt unstrung, becomes, under the
I wholesome revolution created in the system, the!
i basis of activity, strength and health,
i The nervous sufferer, w hlle tormented by the j ■
! acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- :
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that!
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of ,
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition ;
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev- i i
ery member with the source of sensation, mo-'
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit ■
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
J invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous ‘ '
i organization.
Females who have tried it aye unanimous ib '
j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that; J
[woman has ever received from the Lai ds of ■
nnedicai men.
! Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
-1 mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite ’
] While it renews the strength of the digestive *
powers-it creates a desire for the solid material 1
i which is to be subjected to their action. A? an I
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. ; *
If long life and the vigor necessary fb its en-j
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of j
■ precious worth
Its beneficial effects are net confined to either
| sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing ) 1
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the over worn j
man of business, the victim of nervous dtpres- j
sion, the individual suffering from general de !
' bilify or from the weakness ot a singld organ j
: wil’.all find imir.ecUateaud permanent relief from i
the u-e of this incomparable rob >va»or. To!'
j those who have a predisposition to paralysis it i
• will proven complete and unfailing safe-guard!
j against that terrible malady. There are many
! perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- 1 '
' t on thatrthey think themselves beyond the reach 1
'of medicine. Let not even those despair. The.
| Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re j
! lerence to the causes, and will not only remove!
i the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-
I stitutlon
