President's Message. — We present
our readers with the President’s Annual
Message, in an ’•Extra." It was deliver
ed to Congress in advance of the organi
zation of the House of Representatives.
We are indebted to the “Memphis Bulle
tin Company" for their promptness in for
warding our “Extras;" as also, to the
officers of the Memphis and White River
Packet Gen’l Pike, for their safe deli
very to us on Monday night. We are
thus enabled to present our readers with
the Message in advance of every other
paper in the State of Arkansas.

Helper’s Book.—On our first page
will be found “liberal extracts” from a
very “illiberal book” written by one
Hinton Rowan Helper, entitled, “ The
lmjmiuing uiaw in me ovum. auw
shall we meet it." Most of the Republican
members of Congress endorse the senti
ments promulgated by Helper, and nmong
them John Sherman, their candidate for
Speaker. This infamous libel on the
South is upon a par with the teachings of
Old John Brown, who was recently hung
at Harper’s Ferry. Helper is said to
have been born in South Carolina, from
whence he “emigrated" North, to prevent
prosecution for pilfering. The names of
the members of Congress who endorsed
the book, as also those who contributed
means to aid in giving it circulation, are
given in order that our readdfs may know
upon whom should fall the just censure of
the South. The South has not interfered
with the North—but tho North has inter
fered with the South. Helper’s book, and
the members of Congress who approve of
it, are of the same kidney of those who
participated in the Harper’s Ferry out
break. They are traitors to the Constitu
tion and their country.

A Washington correspondent of
the New York Express intimates that real
estate has decreased 30 per centum in
value, in Washington City, since the raid
of John Brown. Tho Washington Star
says there is nothing whatever of truth in
that story, and adds that John Brown’s
insane folly has made no change in the
value of renl estate in that city, or any
where else in the South. The Abolition
correspondents, who write for Black Re
publican sheets, from Washington City,
certainly receive good wages from their
employees, unless they "lie low."

Union Meetings.—These meetings
continue to be held in the various cities
of the North. On the 19th tilt, a Union
meeting was held in New York city,
which is announced as having been “tho
largest public meeting ever held on the
American continent.” We learn from
the Washington Star that the meeting
was addressed by Mr. James Brooks, of
the Express, Charles O'Conner, Esq.,
Ex-Gov. Hunt, James S. Thayer, Hon.
John A. Dix, Prof. Mitchell, nnd Rev.
Dr. Belhune. Letters were also read
from thfi Hnn. TV S Tt’v.Pmo.
idem Van Buren, Ex-President Fillmore,
Hon. Geo. Briggs, (by telegraph from
Washington,) Ex-President Pierce, and
the lion. D. D. Barnard. There were
also several speeches made to the crowd
on the outside of the Academy, from
stands erected for the purpose. The
whole number of people present was es
timated at over 20,000. The Mayor
presided, and resolutions were adopted to
the effect that it is the duly of the people
of the North, as good citizens of a com
mon government, to stand by the Consti
tution, treaties, laws, and judicial decis
ions of the United States; that they pro
test against and denounce all inflamma
tory appeals which tend to make the U
nion less perfect; that they regard the re
cant outrage at Harper’s Ferry as a crime
not only against the State of Virginia, but
against the .Union itself, and approves of
the firmness by which the treason was
punished; and that in their opinion the
subject of slavery has been too long
mingled with party politics, and as the re
sult has been the creation of sectional par
ties, contrary to the advice, letter, and
spirit of the Farewell Address of the
Father of our common country,—that,
therefore, it is the duty of planters, farm
ers, manufacturers, merchants, mechanics,
and of every citizen, Noith and South,
East and West, to discountenance all par
lies and organizations that thus violate
the spirit of the Constitution and the ad
vice of Washington.
Had this “Union Meeting” given its
advice to the North and other portions of
the country that send up Black Republi
cau Senators and Representatives to
Washington, there would be at least an
appearance of consistency in their assem
bling together and passing resolutions.
Why not apply the advice of Washington
to loose who are guilty of originating sec
tional parties? The South lias made no
innovations upon the rights of the North,!
i
but tbe North Ins invaded Southern soil.
We have no confidence in these whole- <
sale assemblages in Northern cities. Let
Ihem correct the political ills that exist in
their midst—let them hurl from their po
sition the evil spirits who war upon the
I institution of slavery. Then, nnd not till
then, will we have confidence in their
large, assemblages and larger declara
tions.
The whole truth is, New York, Phila
delphia and Boston are losing the South
ern trade, and something must ho done to
bring it Irek. The South has determin
ed upon trading with Southern cities;
lines of steamers from Southern ports to
European commies are being established;
direct trade between the South nnd all
portions of the world is becoming a mat
ter of fact, and dependence upon the
North will soon he known ns a thing of
the past in a commercial and agricultural
point of view.
The South has made every concession
—she 1ms stood by the Constitution. The
North has stolen her negroes, invaded
her soil, and the time is near at hand
when a Southern Confederacy will he
formed, independent of the Black Repub
licans nnd their sympathizers.
The North and the South.—Re
cent events which have presented them
selves to the minds of the South, having a
direct tendency to the dissolution of the
Union, has directed the attention of all
parlies to the strength, commercially and
otherwise, of the two great divisions of
the country. Northern Abolitionists have
t_i.ti.._i„:_,1 ,i.„, ,i.„ _1,1
exist, in any point of view, as a separate
confederacy. The Washington Constitu
tion publishes a statement, furnished it
from official sources, which shows the
amount of produce exported from the Uni
ted Stales during the last fiscal year, and
contains many interesting facts in refer
ence to the exports of the two sections of
the Union.
“ From this statement it appears that tire
whole amount of produce exported from the
United States for the fiscal year 1858-t), ex
clusive of specie, amounted, in value, to two
hundred and seventy-eight million three hun
dred ninety-two thousand and eighty dollars.
Of this amount the free States furni.-hed, in
productions exclusively their own, i. c., fish,
oils, coal, and ice, five million two hundred
and cighly-one thousand and ninety-one dol
lars.
Tha slave States furnished in productions,
exclusively their own, one hundred and eighty
eight millions six hundred and ninety-three
thousand four hundred and ninety-six dollars,
as follows: in cotton, one hundred and sixty
one millions four hundred and thirty-four
thousand nine hundred and twenty-three dol
lars; in tobacco, twenty-one millions seventy
four thousand and thirty-eight dollars; in
rosin and turpentine, three millions five hun
dred and fifty-four thousand four hundred and
sixteen dollars; in rice, two millions two hun
dred and seven thousand one hundred and
forty-eight dollars; in tar and pitch, one hun
dred and forty-one thousand and fifty-eight
dollars; in sugar, one hundred and ninety-six
thousand nine hundred and thirty-five dollars;
in molasses, seventy-five thousand six hundred
and ninety dollars; and in hemp, nine thou
sand two hundred and seventy-nine dollars.
The free and slave Stales together furnish
ed, in productions common to both, eighty
four millions four hundred and seventeen
thousand four hundred and ninety-three dol
lars; the slave States, according to the esti
mate of the Constitution, furnishing one-third
of this amount.
Thus it appears that the -lave State* fur
nish. principally in products of slave labor,
more than two-thirds of the exports of the
United States; that their exports of produc
tions, exclusively their own, are worth thirty
nr forty times as much as those of the so
called free States; ami that their exports are
worth more, even if their great staples of
cotton and tobacco a'e left out of the calcula
tions.”
Commenting on the foregoing, the Au
Lrlista (Geoirrial Constitutionalist siws:
t£ This is the exhibit which stubborn figures
make of the relative wealth of the two sec
tions of the Union, as it is illustrated in their
exports, it shows that the foreign commerce
of the Union, ami the prosperity of the manu
facturing North, are both based upon the pro
ducts of the slave labor of the South; that the
South is the most independent and prosperous
section of the Union, despite “the blighting ]
:ursc of slavery,” and indefinitely better able i
han the North to meet the results of a disso- ,
lution of the Union.”

Death of Hon. Lynn Boyd.—We 5
ire pained to record the death of Hon. 1
Lynn Boyd, of Kentucky. He expired j
it his residence, at Paducah, on the 17th. ■
Mr. Boyd lias filled a prominent place
n the history of Kentucky for the last fif
een years, having been for about that pe- '
iod a Representative in Congress from ‘
lie southwestern district of that State, '
md for one term Speaker of the House
af Representatives. His politics were 1
Democratic, and he was a leader of his 1
party while in Congress, always ndher- J
ing strictly to its organization. He was *
i man of sterling character and decided i
ibility. He was spoken of ns a candidate J
or the Vice-Presidency, and even for the ‘
Presidency at one time. His health has j
*et»n declining for some months..His -
leath will be received with regret through- 1
jut the Union.—.Memphis Appeal.

seen formed in Ailcansas county, for the J
purpose of ridding the county of all horse

depredators on private property. The t
company numbers four hundred persons, •
who keep a strict patrol of the whole J
county. J
fi@“The Somliern students who have 1
been attending Northern Colleges, have 1
abandoned them on account of the oboli- 1

I n port a if t to Editors and Post
masters.—We are authorized to state, for
the information of all whom it may con
cern, that the method of addressing news
papers to subscribers by attaching to each
copy of the paper a printed slip containing,
in addition to the name of the subscriber,
the date when his subscription expires,
and in some cases the amount due thereon
—matter which forms no part of the ad
dress, and is neither a bill nor a receipt—
is a violation of the postal laws, and sub
jects .each copy so addressed to letter post
ige.
The act of August 30,1SJ2, after fixing
he rates of postage on printed matter, re
quires that “there shall be no word or
’.ommiimnnlmn nrintprl nn flip snmo nflAr
ts publication, or upon the cover or wrap
per thereof, nor nny writing or mark up
on the cover or wrapper thereof, except
lie name anil address of the person to
ivhom it is sent;” also that “there shall be
10 paper or other tiling enclosed in or with
such printed paper," except bills or receipts
o subscribers, as provided in the second
lection of the same act; and that “if these
londitions are not complied with, such
irinted matter shall be subject to letter
lostage.”
These provisions of the law leave to the
Department and to postmasters no option
jut to charge letter postage on all news*
lapers and periodicals addressed in the
nanner we have mentioned. It will be
or the interest, therefore, of publishers
tsing this method to conform in all re*
pects to the law, and omit the date and
he amount due from the slips containing
he names of their subscribers.—[Wash*
ngton Constitution, 17th.

South Carolina and Virginia.—A
pecial dispatch to the Charleston Courier,
rom Columbia, S. (J., dated December
ith, states that Mr. F. D. Richardson, of
Charleston, offered a series of resolutions,
eclaring that the Harper’s Ferry move
nent should be regarded as an assault up
in the institution of slavery in all the
Southern States; that the expenses bl
urred by Virginia in putting down the
usurreclion should be borne by all the
Southern States, in proportion to their
lave population; that, being the legitimate
ruit.of. the teachings of abolition Slates,
he slaveholding States ought to demand
ndeinnity from them for the expenses in
urred; and that Governor Gist be re
vested to tender to the Slate of Virginia
lie proportion which South Carolina may
ic slotted to pay.
Senator Crittenden.—By the elec
ion of Mr. Breckinridge from Kentucky,
lohn J. Crittenden, the oldest member of
lie Senatorial body, retires from public
ervice. Mr. Crittenden is now in the
eventy-fourth year of his age. He en- !
eretl the Senate as early as 1817—forty- ■
wo years ago—although he then served
mt two years. Mr. Crittenden lias never
teen a member of the House of Repre- i
entatives. Besides his different terms in
lie Senate, Mr. Crittenden served the pub- '
ic as Governor of Kentucky, and Attor- j
ley-General under President Harrison, ]
ud also under Mr. Fillmore. s
--
Senator Iverson, of Georgia, in a i
ecent speech in the Senate, in allusion to £
lie probable election of Sherman for '
ipeaker, said: “If such should be the cast, ,
e would advise the Southern members to (
eiire from the halls, and let the Union be t
issolved. He did not know that they *
’ould follow his advice, for be was re*
arded as au ultra, even in Georgia."
The Mexican Treaty.—The new
ireuiy with Mexico seems to cover all the '
objects of public policy which the Govern- j
ment of the United States have ever
sought from Mexico. It obtains:
1. The perpetual right of way, for
railroads, across the Isthmus of Tehuan
tepec, the Southern route, from the Rio
Grande, through the Mexican States to
Mazatlan, and a route from Arizona, by
way of Sonora, to Guaytnas.
2. The free transit across Mexican
territory of every species of goods and j
merchandise going from oue port of the [
United States to another, with a right of
depot in Mexico, and privilege to enter
them at any time for consumption in Mex
ico, on payment of duties.
3. A reciprocal trade, in a large list of
goods, between the two countries, either
free of duty on both sides, or at the rate
of duty to be fixed by the United States;
and
4. The indispensable power—for the
want of which all former negotiations
have failed to produce an agreement—to
protect, by force of arms if necessary, with
or without the consent of Mexico, these
roads and the rights granted.
Resides these public concessions, re
ligious freedom, the liberty to engage in
trade, and exemption from forced loans,
are conceded to all citizens of the United
Stales residing in Mexico.
On the part of the United States it is
agreed to pay for these concessions and
exemptions the sum of four millions of
dollars. One-half of this is to be applied
to the payment of American claims
against Mexico.
New Coinage oe Half Dollars.—
In s short time a new coinage of half dol
lars. produced at the United Stases Mint,
will be submitted for approval of Govern
ment. The new coin is the same size as
those now in circulation, but is thicker at
mu rim, owing iu mu uuujiur bimuiig ui
the die. On one side is a medallion por
trait of Washington, with the head wreath
ed in laurel, and the word Liberty in a
scroll over the bust; at the bottom is the
date; and around the whole the words
“United States of America,” in plain
raised letters. On the reverse, a wreath
of grain envelopes the words “Half-Dol
lar” in the same kind of letter.
