The President’s Message may be delivered to morrow. It is briefer than usual, and will re adopt the principles laid down by Mr. Marey in the Koszta affair, and the President will stand by them. The Message will show that our relations with Mexico are of a peaceful and promising character. The Guano difficulty with the Chin ciia Islands has bee tulefinitely and satisfactorily adjusted by Peru. The importance of opening the Amazon will be discusssed and the adminis tration are making strenuous efforts to accom lj’= h • T*"* Fudwy 00-Ate... ..Mettled.- Negotiations are in progress. The attention of Congress will be called to the importance of a more accurate definition of the boundary between the United States and the English possessions in the North West. The justice of the Spanish claim for mdemity in the case ol the schooner Armistead is con ceded, but inadverts strongly and severely upon the conduct ol the Spanish authorities towards American citizens in Cuba, and intimates that it must be immediately stopped. In regard to the subject of Slavery Presi dent re-affirms, in the broadest terms, the Com promise and Union doctrines set forth in his in augural, with decided emphasis. 1 he rights of the Southern States are as dear to the President as those ol New Hampshire. ihe Message will urge upon Congress the propriety oi reducing the duties on certain article and the addition others to the free list, in order to reduce the revenue to about fifteen millions less than the present amount annually collected. A large increase is recommended in the Navy, and modifications in tho Army. Ihe extension of the Land system is also re commended, with Some modifications. Over l tali and New Mexico, modifications also. Our Land system in favor of actual settlers and its extension, is recommended with tho pre emption principles. Important amendments to our Patent laws; changes in the Judicial system; probably the reduction ol the Judges of the Supreme Court, as vacancies occur, to five members only, and relieve them entirely from Circuit duties, and appoint Circuit Judges, independent of the Su preme Court, will be suggested. No appropriation for Internal Improvements is recommended, and the reason is given for withholding the funds, based upon the injustice, irregularity and inefficiency of the present sys tem, which is inadequate to meet tho demands ol commerce, or afford necessary protection to human life and property'. The question is urged at length, and it is suggested that Congress em power States to levy tonnage duties for the pur pose of raising funds for works necessary to commerce. The message discountenances any appropria tion by the General Government for building the Pacific Railroad, and objects oven to an appro, priation of alternate sections of land, except un der circumstances sufficient to induce judicious individual proprietors to make similar disposi tion of his laud. The power of Congress, under certain con tingencies, to construct Military Ronds for pur- { poses of common defence is admitted, but at present the President is clear that the common defence does hot demand such an undertaking as the construction of the Pacific Railroad. On our foreign policy pertaining to tho aug mentation of territory, the sentiments of the President are boldly progressive, and they sus tain the Young America Monroe Doctrines.— Charleston Standard. Feeble Folks. Quick, open a window, let the wind fan him! The poor fellow is faint! He has walked a couple of miles and it is too much for him. His lather could follow the plow all day and walk three miles after dark to the husking, without feeling tired. His mother, after churning be fore breakfast, washing before dinner, and iron ing till supper time, would go to the North side, at least a mile and a half, to fetch the cows, just by way of breathing herself and getting a little exercise, hut their son, for some reason or oth er, is more delicate—his constitution is feeble, though he was a great rollicking hoy and prom ised to make a stout man until he took to wear ing kid gloves and standing collars, and fine cloth coats. Whether they have caused the debility or not we cannot say. It has come on gradually. For a season he thought nothing of walking across town before breakfast, and a cruise along the upper parts of the city he used to enjoy of a Saturday afternoon. But he has so much to do, and his time is so precious, that of late he steps from his office into the car, and indeed pays fifty dollars more for the privilege of residing within half a block of the track.— He revives a little. Let us be duly thankful! for ho is one of the strongmen among Young Americans. He said in a speech lately that he was willing to hare his breast to the tide of the world’s tyranny. He proposed to “roll the bur dens off’ of the enslaved nations,’’ and “buck le on the harness’’ for the world’s deliver ence. It is all nonsense. Mind is not worth a cop per in this lattitude if the gearing between it and the material world is not in operation, and not more than a shilling if the body it lias to work through is feeble, puny and contemptible. The burdens afflicting this weary world are to be rolled off by men who have muscles as well as good will. It is not worth while for short breathed men to hare their breasts to waves that have much swell in them; and ladies’ fingers are not the things to undo the heavy rusty shack les that cramp and confine society. So the young men who aspire to look pale and delicate will please to he warned that they will not do any great shakes for their generation. They’d better take to writing poetry, binding shoes, selling tape or some such light work. This is a day for men who can digest anything that a butcher has the conscience to offer for sale, can leave india rubbers and umbrella at home on a foggy day without taking cold, and walk from the Battery to the Bible House, without feeling obliged to be at charges for a bottle of rheuma tic liniment. We give a toast—fill your coffee cup afresh good reader, and let the baby in her high chair who drinks milk, have another mug— “ The health of all who have a will to work, and ■ don’t object to a ruddy cheek and a big hand ; ; and the memory of the old folks, who would walk a mile while their young ones are quarrel. | ing about which shall go out into the cold to or the coach. i OO” “Those sewing machines are great in ! ventions said a friend to a wag. “Yes, sir,’’ said he, “sew it seams,” Settlement of tho Mothodist Church Property Contro versy. The New York Journal of Commerce con tains an official announcement of tho amicable settlement of the dispute which has so long ex isted between the two branches of the Metho dist Episcopal Church North and South, in re gard to the property which belonged to them in common, prior to the separation. The terms of the adjustment are withheld from the public, un til the courts (which have long had the subject in charge) shall conform their action to the new state of things; or, in other wotds, issue a de cree in conformity with the voluntary settlement. The Journal says : “I tis, however, sate to infer, that the adjustment is based on the principle of a pro rata division of the property. No other adjustment would be admissible, even if the courts decreed some oth er, provided ilw two bodies are to continue se parate. The Northern branch of the church never could feel easy in possession of the whole j property, because they know that the whole | does not in equity belong to them. The effect of the compromise will be to allay I the bad feeling which for some years past has | existed between the churches North and South. ! We should not be greatly surprised to record, in j the course of a few years, the re-union of the two bodies in one vast Christian fraternity. The I friendly expressions contained in the certificate I of adjustment clearly point in that direction. It j may even be possible that tho adjustment is has- ! ed on a prospective reunion which indeed is the most natural, as well as the most equitable j course. Messrs, Peck and Smith, the committee up- ] pointed to prepare a statement of the settlement for publication, say, after a careful and most friendly examination of the whole question, the Southern commissioners made a proposition for a settlement of their claim, which the commis sioners lor the New Y ork Concern accepted.— Nothing now remains to be done to consum mate this desirable adjustment of a most trou blesome litigation but the execution of the ne cessary papers, and the arrangement of the final decree of the United States Court for the South ern District of New York, nowin session in this city. 1 his settlement has been agreed upon bv the parties without the arbitrament of a third party, \ and is to each entirely satisfactory. The con ( elusion of this settlement was followed by j thanksgiving to God, and most hearty expres sions of Christian love and mutual confidence.— The feelings which prevail among tho commis sioners of the two churches, we may hope, is a true type of that which will prevail hereafter throughout the bounds of our common Method ism, North and South. They concluded by awarding credit to Judge McLean lor his agency in the completion of the amicable arrangement. Koszta at Bosto n —Koszta arrived at Bos ton on W ednesday. He was quietly received bv a few friends. He stays a few days ill Bos ton, previous to leaving tor New York. The Bee, in announcing his arrival says : “Koszta has not the elements of a “lion.’’ He is a plain unassuming man, apparently about 40 ‘ years ol age, possessed evidently, of considera ble firmness, but of no more than average men- i tal power of intelligence. The impression one brings away is, that lie is a stern, solid man, but oi little brilliance or fire. He is, notwithstand ing, a man of tame, tor his name is associated with a deed, the glory of which eradiates* the nations, and lias raised the title ol the American to new heights and greater distinction.” I‘t r contra, The Times has the following “Mr. Koszta is in good health and spirits, and is hv no means ordinary man—either in appeal or mentally—as some captious prints have aver red. He is accompanied by a servant.’’ Kentucky Girls. —The Kentucky Statesman relates n droll story of the recent election iu that State : It appears from this that a young lady ofthe Democratic faith residing at a place called Jas samine, got the written promise of a young \Vhi<. that ii she could she might prevent him from voting against llreckenridge for Congress.— Pursuant to this agreement on Sunday night be fore the election, after the young gentleman had retired to bed, she sent a servant to his room and got iffl the clothes oi which he had disrobed himself ; going then to his wardrobe site took all the rest of his clothing and placed the whole in a secure place. At a very early hour on Monday morning in company with another young lady, she placed herself on the stairs down which the anti Breckeuridge man must necessa rily descend, if lie descended at all, and there the two sat all day, keeping ‘heir encaged bird | secure until the closing of the polls in the eve ning, when they allowed him again to go at large. The consequence was that lie did not vote, and Brockem idge’s majority was increased by one. Doing what I like, with my (hen. —Crossing Hampstead Heath, Erskine saw a ruffianly dri ver most unmercifully pummelling a miserable bare boned pack horse, and on remonstrating with him rnceived the following answer: “Why, it’s my own; mayn’t! use it as 1 please As the fellow spoke he discharged a fresh shower of blows ou tho raw back of the beast. Ers kine much irritated by this brutality, laid two or three sharp blows of his walking stick over the shoulders of the cowardly offender, who crouching and grumbling, asked him what bu siness lie had to touch him with his stick. “Why, replied Erskine, “my stick is my own ; mayn’t i use it as I please ?”— Campbell's Chancel lor.” Mrs. Partington’s Last.—“ Well,” said the old lady, the other day, as she was engaged with her knitting work, “I wonder if I ever shall be be able to express myself correctly. It seems to me 1 can never use tile right word. Every time I undertake to say anything, I make some blunder or other. Whenever 1 open my mouth I am sure to put my foot into it /’’—and she drew a deep sigh as she spoke, indicating that her mortification was inexpressible. Cure for Distemper.—Our friend “Harry,” of Nashville, Tenn., sends us the following con cerning distemper in dogs. He says—“ Perhaps some of your sporting readers, who have fine pointers and other dogs worth owning, would like to hear of a remedy for that destructive dis ease, the distemper. A couple of mine were recently low down with it, and, after hopeless ly exhausting other remedies, I had recourse to the homcepathic remedy— Arsenicum ; and in a little over a week had them both entirely well. The little globules are most potent, I can as sure you, in that disease, as well as in those that “human flesh is heir to.”— Editor of the J Times. Spunky Yankee Lieutenant. —Lieut. Sheldon ot theU. S Artillery, a strange, iron hearted man, stood by his gun at the battle of Lacole Mill, (Canada,) until every other had left it.— The enemy, seeing his condition, sent a detach ment to take him and the gun; but he maintain ed his position till the column came within close pistol shot, when he touched it off'. The order to fire had been given the same instant to the infantry, arranged somewhat in the torm of a semicircle in the woods, and when the smoke cleared away, only one, out of the whole detach ment was standing on iiis feet, and he making rather accelerated “tracks’’ for the mill. Sheldon once refused to take off his hat in a Canadian theatre, while the orchestra played “God save the King,” when an English officer reminded him of his neglect. He made some reply’ which led to a duel. A friend of Seldom endeavored to dissuade | him from fighting, saving he ought to opologiae j for his conduct, as the establised custom, require | ing every one to be uncovered when “God save j the King’’ was played, should have been res pected. Sheldon, however, was obstinate about | it, when his friend told him that his antagonist never missed his aim, and he was a “dead man,” | and I'e fought him. “Then,” said Sheldon, “there will he two dead men!” They fought, and the 1 English officer foil dead at the first fire. Shel- I ‘lon was also shot througii and through. He, j however, lingered on for six months, and finally died in Boston. He retained his almost natural earlessness and hardihood to the last, and | would accost his friends, as they stole softly to | his sick chamber, with “Walk in, pall bearers,” | walk in.” He was a Pittsfield man, and was ‘.such stuff as heroes are made of.” The Latest Prodigy. —A Paris letter says— The prodigy of to-day is a little boy of nine years ofage, who possesses the most wonderful j talent for drawing—not the school hoy sketches ot peaked-laced cats, and tumble down houses, —but master pie;es ofthe art are executed by him. lie is the son of one the heads of the Se vrenes porcelain factory, and is tints even sur rounded by graceful and beautiful models for his pencil. His manner of drawing is in itself something out of tho common way. Dues he wish to exe cute a horse, it is not by the head that he com mences, (1 mean no pun,) but by one of the hind legs or the tail-it is not his pencil that moves onward, but the paper, which gradually pushed by the child’s left hand, underneath the passive lead, receives the lines, proportions and shades intended by tho little designer. A short time since the Emperor and Empress, with their suit, visited the factory. The boy’s father was not there, but in his absence his youthful representative did tho honor, and talk ed very glibly to their majesties. After a time they missed him, and when he was discovered it was with an elegant and astonishing drawing of the Imperial carriage before the door, and what was more astonishing still, the persons in the carriage were all portraits of their highnesses and accompanying suite! Some time hence, when another prodigy ap pears in the horizon, the one now is the zenith will perhaps visit you over the other side. It is becoming part of an artist’s or a wonder’s pro gramme, to seek and find a hearty welcome in America. Widows Crie.fi are short Lirnd.— Once upon a time, runs an oriental story, a young and love ly woman was called upon to mourn the death ot her lord. As she loved him in life with all the fervor of adoration, her grief at his decease was violent and inconsolable,. She tilled the air with plaints; declared herself tho most wretch ed of women; and in the intensity of her grief made a vow that slio should wed no new lord till the. stream which ran by her bower should reverse its course. A few weeks after she was observed busily “engaged in dam-ing up the stream!” Goldsmith, in tho “Citizen of the World,” relates a similar story. A lady on the death bed of her husband, vowod that she would not marry another till the grave of her first lover, perennially moistened by her own and the tears of heaven, should have become dry. [From the Savarftiah Courier.! IHarryiug and I’ismarrynig. Mr. Editor .—The story of the ‘ Odd Bride groom,” published in your paper ot Sunday morning last, reminded me of one oflike char acter, but of very different result Here it is,! and you may publish it if you think it will amuse your leaders Some years ago, there resided in the then village but now flourishing city of Newark, New Jersey, an eminently pious and intellec tual Presbyterian preacher, who more than thirty years ago related io the writer the anec dote as follows : Riding along one of the roads in the vicinity to pay one of Ids usual parochial visits, the re veierid gentleman was overtaken by a person on horseback, who accosted hitn and inquired if ho was not the Rev Dr. R. of Newark. On receiving an affirmative reply, he added. “Do you remember me, sir!” The Dr. said he did not. The stranger then asked, “Do you not re member to have united in marriage a certain couple at a certain place,” AfC. The Dr. hesi tated for some moments, for he had united many couples in hi3 time. He finally said, “I do remember the circumstance, for you gave me the largest marriage fee I ever re ceived in my life—you gave me a SIOO note.” “I did so,” replied the stranger, “and I will now give you ss’ oto unmarry me, as I pledge you my sacred word and honor I have not had one morneut’s peace from that day to this.” The Dr. respectfully declined to undertake the job, upon the ground that applications of the kind migl become so numerous at to seriously interfere with, his important pastoral duties'. A Decided Fix The letter wiiter and telegraphists in their at tempts to make capital out of supposed dissensions in the Cabinet were blown sky high. The Wash ington correspondent ofthe New York Journal of Commerce writes that Governor Marey. has been one of “the best abused men in the world.” This arises partly from the malice of letter writers and partly from his own busquenes of manner which by the way, is well illustrated by a recent incident, nn account of which has yet, we believe, found its wav into print. An importunate office-seeker in cessantly intruded upon the Secretary of the De partment, at his hotel, in the street, “in season and out of season”—urging his “claims” for a Consul ship of considerable value. Finally his entreaties become so annoying, that Mr. Marey quietly sug gested that a knowledge of the Spanish language would be necessary to his success. “Oh,” res ponded the urgent applicant, “I understand Spanish thoroughly sir ; I speak it like a native.” “Ah !” replied Mr. M., “that is important; one of my clerks talks Spanish, and he and no doubt like to converse with you. Ili call him in ; sit down. Hir,” and he arose to ring the bell. “No, sir.” exclaimed the terrified applicant, who dreaded the impending ex posure ol his inorance, “the fact is, sir,—that that —I don’t exactly speak the language just now, but —but I understand it a little—l understand it.” [TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE. f From the Charleston Courier. ] Synopsis of the President’s Message. Baltimore, Dec. 6. The firsr annual message of President Pierce was de livered today to both Houses of Congress. He uoinmeneus by saying timt the interest with which the people look to the assembling of Congress, and the fuiliinieiu <jii that occasion of the duty imposed on their new President, juv the best evidences of their capacity to realize the hopes of the founders of the government, as the sole reliance of this Confederacy is on the justice and intelligence of the masses. The country has abundant cause for thanksgiving to God for the many mercies showered upon the nation ; thus recognizing the wisdom of absolute religious tolera lion as no secure reliance can be placed upon any apparent progress unless sustained by national integrity, resting upon the trull is of Revelation. A\ ith regard to our diplomatic relations with foreign Powers, tlio President says they have undergone no change since the adjournment of the last Congress, and that those pending of a distuibing character will proba bly be amicably adjusted. Respecting the fishery question he says that the United Suites never recognised the liritish construction ot the treaty ol ISIS, and that with anew view of extending the rights of American fishermen and the British American Possessions, negotiations had been opened with a fair pros pect of a favorable result. In regard to the controversy upon the affairs in Central America, he says that Great Britain has proposed an ami cable arrangement, and that our Minster in London has consequently been instructed to enter into negotiations on the subject, jle represents it as desirable that the Boun dary line between tbe United States and the British Ame rican Possessions in the North west be traced aud marked. Tlie relations with France are friendly, and a treaty of Commerce and Navigatiou is progressing. In regard to Cuba, he says, that he is happy tc ans nounec that since the last Congress no unauthorised ex peditions had been fitted out from the United States, and ihnt should any such movements be undertaken, lie will suppress them by all the means in his power. lie refers to several annoying occurrences as having taken place at Havana, between our citizens and Spanish subjects, and says that prompt redress cannot be obtained because diplomatic intercourse is not allowed between the American Consul and Captain General, to avoid vex ation and delays ; and that a proposition had been made to provide for a direct appeal for redress from the Ameri eansul io the Captain General, which the Spanish Gov* eminent had hitherto refused to agree to; but that our Minister at Madrid had been instructed to renew the ap plication. He also recommends a prompt adjustment with Spain of claim for losses in the sase of the schr. Armistead. Concerning the ease of Martin Koszta, he recapitu lates tiie facts as set forth in Mr. Marcy’s letter, and says that the principles and policy therein maintained, will be enforced whenever proper occasion may arise; Our Commissioner in China, lie says, has been in structed to avail hiiuseit of all occasions to extend our commercial relations with that and other Asiatic nations. He mentions the arrival of Commodore Perry’s squad® ron on the* coast o! Japan, but states that be has not ascer tained thceiiect of the expedition on the .Emperor. He refers to the dispute with Mexico regarding the Mesiila Valley, and says that the former Commissioner of the United States made an error in running a boundary which was not binding on the United States but as Mexi co takes a different view of the subject our Minister a that Court had been instructed to negotiate upon that and other questions of magnitude now pending, but vvliat pro gress lias been made in tbe premises he does not know hut hopes that an arrangement mutually satisfactory will be made in a spirit of liberality and friendship. Our Minister to Central America has received a friend** ly reception at San. Juan de Nicaragua. Our Minister to Brazil has been instructed to induce that Government to abate its restrictive policy iu regard to the navigation of the Amazon as Paraguay and tho Argentine confederation have opened tbeir navigable riv t is. llc says, however, that treaties ou tho subject will be submitted to the Senate. Measures have been taken, he says, to remove the dif liculty no wexperienced in obtaining guano, and that it is believed that the Peruvian government have made an in demnity for the recent outrage at the Chincha Islands. Ile refers to the expansion in territorial extent and the increased happiness aud prosperity of our country, and iudoi.ses the doctrines of State Rights and the strict lim itation of the powers of the Federal Government. The revenue of tlu; country, he states to be increasing beyond either the prospective wants of the country, it amounting for the year ending June 30th, 1853, to nearly ss'j,o(jo from Customs, and 2,500,000 from public lands, Ac. The expenditures, exclusive payments on account ol the public debt, were $43,250,000, leaving a balance 0f532,250,000, including the balance for the year ending June 30th, 1852. He recommends that the surplus revenue be first ap plied to discharge of the public debt: and secondly, that means be devised to effect a gradual reduction of tho revenue. Tiie first is already iu the course of accomplish ment —the public debt amounting to $50,250,000. iio recommends, secondly, that the plan contained in the report of the Secretary of the Treasury for the re*> (faction of duties on certain articles, and adding to the free list articles into manufactories, and not largely pro duced in the country, be adopted. lie suggests, also, improvements in the mode of set tling accounts, and collection of arrears due from public officers. He recommends the augmentations of the army and The Post Office expenses lor the year were nearly $8,000,000, the* receipts nearly $0,00,000 leaving a defi ciency of about $2,000,000 principally cased by the enor mous rate paid Railroad Companies for transportation.— lb* calls attention in this connection to the income and xpeiiditurcs Irom the transmission l*y mail steamers, and demands prompt action thereon. He alludes to the numerous frauds perpetrated on the I Pension Bureau, and hopes that the defects in the law I will be speedily remedied. He commends the present Land system, and states that the nett returns from the sale of Public Lands up to June 30th 1853, were $53, 250,000. lie recommends the ex tension ofthe Public Land system over Utah aud New Mexico, and that some modifications be made in favor of actual settlers, and that the preemption principle be ex tended. He maintains the power of Congress to construct Roads within the Territories, and says that grants of Lind for the construction of roads should be made under proper eireumstaoers. He recommends the enlargement and modification of the Judicial system, as its present organization is confes sedly inadequate to the duties to be performed. lie recommends the immediate organization of the Smithsonian Institute upon the terms prescribed in the act of Congress. lie L.kcs strong grounds against internal improvements being made by the Federal Government, and asks, if the policy were once settled against appropriations by the Federal Govi a incut for local improvements for the bene fit ol Commerce, would not such localities, by means clearly legitimate and proper, raise the funds for them selves ! Ho hopes the question will be deliberately re considered and a plan matured to promote the permanent interests of the country. He thinks, also, where con structions are being made by the General Government, lie right to the soil ought to be first obtained. Referring to the means for affording communication between the States along and opposite side of the Rocky Mountains, he maintains (luit the Federal Government has the power to construct military roads, and protect harbors of refuge. He thinks, • however, that it is o doubtiul power, and more than doubtful propriety, for the Gener. 1 Government to administer the affairs of a railroad and cana], and that, therefore, its connections with such a work should be incidental rather than prima ry ; and adds that no grandeur of enterprise or inducements promising popular favor shall lead him to disregard the light of the Constitution. He refers to the settlement by compromise of the ex citing questions of 1850, as giving anew vigor to our in stitution?, and repose to tiie country. lie urges fidelity to the Constitutional rights of the States, and avoidouce of agitation, and winds up by a gen eral review of the past and prospective advances of tho own try. lie urges again a strict adherence to the constitution and avoidance of tlve exercise of doubtful powers, as the only means of maintaining national cohesion. lie advises, also, the cultivation of the caidirml virtues public frugality and official integrity—aud that a wise economy be introduced into the administration of affairs. He refers appropriately to the death of Vice-President King, and concludes by soliciting tiie firm co-operation of the co-ordinate branches ofthe government.
