DE 8 ARC,” A K KAHBA87
Saturday Corning, Der. 7,
gUg' We give space to-day to a syn
opsis of Uic President’s message. We
regret that spneo will not allow the
publication of the entire document, as
we regard it one of the most important
papers issuing from the •ocerutive
chair during this term. The Presi
dent discusses nbly the condition of
the Southern States, and does not hes
itatc to express himself opposed to the
Congressional plan of reconstruction ;
aays 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 flic President will be upplandcd
by every Southern be#t, and the jus
tice ot the expression will be admitted
by honest men not blinded by party
prejudice, whether North or South.
The promlsedoonditions of reconstruc
tion were plain, and there has been
and is no need of departure from it to
work the restoration of the Union.
Nor this cause the reconstruction poli
cy ef Congress is an oppressive meas
ure, and 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 lightiy>considered or hastily
conferred.; nor, like him, can they be
lieve'that Congress is justified in deem
ing this matter of enfranchising the
negro of such importance as to require
a change in the Constitution to offeot
it. Wo admirethe force and reoogimc
the justice of the expression, That we
.pnnnnt nril frnnrl mnv PfrniP *
the end is not of such importance as to
justify the means that are employed
for its 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 forthc prosperity of our
country and flic equitable arrangement
■of our fiiwnec. His expressed views
upon taxation will no doubt meet with
the hearty approbation of our over
burthened countrymen, and if his sug
gestions are acted upon, it will certain
ly be cause of gratitude North and
South, ('’©reign matters are in this
paper ably discussed. Tice Alabama
claims alluded to, and all treated in a
becoming manner. While we cannot
at all times endorse Mr. Johnson, we
do not hesitate to say that bis views,
us expressed in the message now be
fore us, meet with our hearty approval
and ceuld they be carried out, or more
properly, were they heodod by congress,
would greatly conduce to the interest
of the whole country, aud result ip the
bringing about of that prosperity
aud permanent political quiet which
by all would bo named a bless
ing. We commend the abstract of this
message, as published in thin issue, to
our readers for careful perusal.
CONGRESS
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
tlo and fix our condition beyond the
interference 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-rfo deep seated, that not
withstanding, wisdom should charac
terize the deliberations of Congress,
and thegood oftiie whole nation should
bo their chief concent; prejudice is in
their mind, and old measures will be
re-canvassed and new ones devised to
thrpw upon the South an additional
lure to ns 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 dmrised,
rests upon the present (Congress. The
different States of the South having
voted upon themselves • convention,
must after presenting a constitution to
the people, submit it to Congress and
await their action in the matter, before
taking tiicir place in the Union, if a
place be allowed them. The much talk
ed of impeachment plan mast 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, lnoking for the es
tablishment of a permanent political
party ; the South for decided action for
or against her prosperity.

Synopsis of the President's Message.
The president opens by saying that
Lite continued disorganization ol' the
union to which the president has so
often called the attention ofeougrtss. is
vet a subject of profound and patriotic
i-oneern. He say*: “It is therefore a
source of profound regret, in comply
ing with the obligation imposed npon
the president by the constitution, to
give congress from time to time infor
mation of the state of the union, that I
am unable to communicate any definite
adjustmeut, satisfactory to the Ameri
can people, of the questions which,
since the rlosc of the rebellion, h.-rve
agitated the public mind. On the con
trary, candor compels mo to declare
that at this time there is wo union as
our fathers understood the term and as
they meant it to be -understood by us.
The union which they established' can
only exist where all the states are rep
resented in both houses of congress.
To the president, the process of restora
tion seems perfectly plain and simple:
It consists merely in a faithful applica
tion of tiie constitution and laws. The
exeoution ef the law is not now ob
structed by physical force; there is no
military or other necessity, real or pre
tended,’ which can prevent the obser
vance of the constitution cither north
or south. All the rights and all the
obligations of states and individuals
can be protected and enforced by means
perfectly consistent with the funda
mental law.” It is clear to his appre
lronsiou that the states lately in rebel
lion nrc still members of the national
union. When did they cease to he so ?
Ordinances of secession adopted by a
portion, in most of them by a very
small portion, of their citizens were
mere nullities. If we admit now that
they were valid and effectual for the
purpose intended by the authors, wc
sweep from under our feet the whole
ground upon which we justify the
war.
The president elaborates these views
at great length, and then says: “Being
sincerely convinced that these views
arc correct, I would be unfaithful to
my duty if I did not recommend the
repeal of the acts of congress which
place ten of the southern states uuder
the dominion of military masters. If
calm reflection shall satisfy a majority
of yonr honorable bodies that the acts
referred to are not only violations of
the national faith hut in direct conflict
with the constitution, I dare not per
mit myself to doubt that you will im
mediately strike them from the statute
boot,
The nrnsident nrocecds to savlie has
no desire to save from the just and
proper consequences of their crime
those who engaged in the rebellion,
but as a mode ofipunishmcnt the meas
ures under consideration are the most
unreasonable that could bo invented.
Many'Ol'these .people are perfectly in
nocent, and of fhosc who arc guilty
with their own consent, the degrees of
guilt aTe as various as their shades of
character and temper. But these acts
of congress confound them all together
in one common doom. Indiscriminate
vengeance on classes, sect., parties or
upon whole communities for offenses
committed by a portion of them against
the government to which they owed
allegiance, was common in the barbar
ous ages, but Christianity and civiliza
tion have made such progress, that to
resort to a puhishment 90 cruefand un
just. would meet, the condemnation of
all unprejudiced and right minded men.
The i«'intdplcs of justice of this age,
especially in this emiHtry, -do not con
sist i« stripping whole states of tlreir
liberties and reducing all of their peo
ple, without distinction to the condi
tion of slavery. lie says lie is aware
that it is assumed that this system of
government for the south is not to he
perpetual; hut if the guarantees of the
constitution can be broken provision
ally to serve a temporary purpose, and
in a part only of the country, we can
destroy them everywhere ami for all
time. Arbitrary measures often change,
but they generally change for the
worse : it is the curse of despotism, that
it has no halting place.
The ■president then says: “It is man
ifestly and avowedly the object of
these laws, to confer the privilege of
voting on the negroes and to disfran
chise such a number of whites ns to
give thc'former a clear majority’ in the
elections in the southern states. This,
to the minds of some persons, is so im
portant that a revolution of the con
stitution is justified ns the means of
bringing it about. IVc are not per
mitted to do evil that good may come :
but in this case the end is evil. The
subjugation of these states to negro
dominion would be worse than mili
tary despotism under which they are
now suffering. The %lacks in the
south arc entitled to be well and lru
ruanely governed and have the protec
tion of just laws for their rights of
person and property. If it were prac
ticable at this time to give them a
government of their own, it is ques
tionable to do so; hut now they are
permitted to elect legislators, organize
_1 _ I XT ^
pendent government lias been main
tained by the negroes.”
The messago goes on to argue the
daugers of the elective franchise, and
says that four millions of degraded
slaves of yesterday cannot be made
intelligent tVeedmen to-day. The pres
ident is willing to join in auy plan to
better the condition of the negroes in
all their rights, save transferring to
them political enfranchisement. The
president alludes to the millions that
the congressional plan has cost, and
nays it will increase the burden of tax
stiou and may bankrupt us. “We
must not,” he adds, “delude ourscjves.
It will require a strong standing army,
tnd probably more than seven millions
per year, to maintain the supremacy of
negro governments when they are es
tablished. The money thus’ thrown
iway, if put iuto a sinking fund would
nay tho national debt in fifteen years,
[t is vain to hope the negroes will
iiaintuiu their own ascendency.”
He discourses the extent to whicli
lie president may go toward protest
ng tho constitution and opposing the
inconstitutional acts of congress, and
lays it has caused him much solicitude ;
md he believes that executive resis
aucc to unconstitutional acts iu limes
if high party excitement might lead
0 civil war. The executive would
■oncotic much to preserve the peace,
mt there may be times when he would
mve to take a stand, regardless of the
onscuuences. The so-called rceon
truction acts do not come within the
inrview just mentioned, though clear
y unconstitutional. The people arc;
tot wholly disarmed of the power for j
elf-defense.
In all the northern states they still j
iold in their hands (he right of pro-1
action, and the late results of the bal-j
lit show, he says, that his faith in the j
cople was not misplaced.
Tnn civil tenure bill is next discussed, j
ltd denounced as unconstitutional and 1
xtrajndicial, and promotive of fraud
1 preventing the removal of disiiou
st officers.
The president then elaborately dis- i
asses the financial question and invites j .
> it the early consideration of eon
ress. In comparing the curreucy cir- !
illation of seven years ago with now j
e says that strict faith makes it the I
bvious duty ofthe government to take !
neb measures as will enable tbc bold- I '
re of its notes and those of the uatiou- I
l hanks to convert them without loss 11
ito specie or its cqnivclant. A rc- t
duetion of our circulating paper ino
dium need not necessarily follow.
This would depend on the law of de
mand and supply; though it should be
borne in mind i.h»t by making legal
tenders and bank notes eonvertable in
coin or its equivalent attlie present par
valne, would be to enhance one hun
dred per cent, the various issues of our
bonds ; and the gold and paper interest
of the same'is alluded to at some length.
Then the president declares that equal
and exnct justice requires that all the
creditors of the goveanment should be
paid in a currency of equal value—not
fold for one and paper for another,
to favors the measure of retiring our
paper currency, that gold and silver
may cease to be articles of traffic and
returns to our avenues of trade. It is !
unreasonable to expect, he says, a re
turn to a sound currency so long as
the government by continuing to issue
irredeemable notes fills the channels of
circulation with depreciated paper.
The attention of congress is earnest
ly invited to the necessity of ‘thorough
revision of our revenue system, and a
large reduction of articles taxed is i
urged.
The president says peacc’lms been se
cured with the Indians, but that he lias
no official details from the commis
sioners. The reports of the interior,
navy, war, and post office departments
are briefly alluded to ; but the figures
have been published already.
Regarding foreign affairs, the presi
dent says Mexico is relieved from for
eign intervention, and peace reigns in
Central and South America. The Uni
ted States were credibly represented
at the Paris exposition, and at a gener
al conference of all nations, where an
universal system ef gold coinage was
agreod on.
Of-the Alabama claims, the president
speaks as follows: “No arrangement
lias been readied for the settlements of
our claims for British depredations up
on the commerce of the United States.
1 ’have felt it my duty to decline tlie
proposition of arbitration madc-by Tier
Majesty's government, because It lias
been accompanied by reservations and
limitations incompatible witli the
rights, honor and interests of our coun
try. It is not to be apprehended that
Great Britain will persist in her refu
sal to satisfy these just and reasonable
clajms, which involve the sacred prin
ciples of non-intervention—a principle
not more important to the United
States than to all other commercial na
tions.”
The .presipent says that a treaty lias
been concluded with the King of Den
mars lur 'tne crssruu in uie isiiiuus in
St. Thomas and St. Johns to (lie Uni
ted States. The president asks pay for
Alaska of congress.
The message concludes as follows:
^ The abuse -of our laws by the prosecu
tion of the African slave trrde from
American ports by American citizens,
has altogether ceased, and under exist
ing circumstances no apprehensions of
its revival are entertained. Under
these circumstances, it becomes a ques
tion whether we shall not propose to
Her Majesty's government a suspen
sion or discontinuance of the stipula
tions for maintaining a naval force for
supprssion of that trade
