A. DOUGLAS:
THE MESSAGE.
We give the President's Message in
full , to-day. While the President is
respectful. towards Congress, ho re
males firth in the opiniuns expressed
a year ago, with this difference: then
he was determined to fight his battle
with Congress.within the lines of the
party that elected him—now ho rec
ognizes the old leaders through whose
influence the once great Democratic
party Wits disgraced and made power
lOW-a his — cenfidential adviSers and
friends. In such company he of course
must go under. The Reeds, the Woods
es, the Biglers, the Vallandighams, the
Porters, the Morrisseye, all in sympa•
thY with the rebels when our country
was in danger of being destroyed, can
not save him. They have not yet re
lented of
. their sins against their God
and their country—and the people
will not ho influenced to give them
power, although- thousands and hun
dreds of thousands of voters under
their - influence Were as loyal and true
to their country during the war as
men of any other party.
The decisions by the people at the
late elections were in favor of sustain
ing Congress as against the President's
policy. Those decisions aro law, and
the people must obey. If Congress
does- not abuse its power the whole
country will soon be prosperous and
happy.
CONGRESS,
The whole country is now watching
elegely the proceedings of Congress.
The first week's work is more of a con
fuSed. Mass 'than an indication that any
certain line of policy will be pursued.
Two much work has been cut out in a
short time to expect close fits. Too
many members are anxious to be heard
—to do something. Ono thing looks
possible, that every appointment made
by the President, (unless to fill a va
cancy) will be rejected by the Senate.
AsAfliee is an important item in poli
tics, the appointments of the President
will most likely receive the early atten
tion of . o ,ln9:ressmen. We
_ivo in oth-
propositions of members, and will en
deavor to keep our reifdeg - tform-.0.—„,
in as brief space as possible, in the
important business of the session. A
largo-number of members and Sena
tors will of course have to "blow off"
before a vote on important questions
can be taken, so that weeks may pass
away before we can know the results
of contests.
It Means Something.
At a large and enthusiastic mooting
of the National Union Johnson Club
of tho Fifteenth Ward, Phila., Friday
evening last, the following sentiments,
amongoihers,were unanimously adopt•
od : -
"Whon the majority in Congress
deSeited the principles upon which
they were elected, and which caused
the unhappy difference between them
and the President, we, the National
Union men of the Fifteenth Ward, de
termined to sustain President Johnson;
but, in doinr , ° so; we did not agree to
become the tools of the Democratic
party and assist to restore it to pow
er. Yet, in nearly every State in the
Union the National Union men were
simply used by the Democratic party
to place the reins of government in
their hands. Hero, in Philadelphia,
the claims of the original friends of
President, Johnson are ignored, and
the worst class of Democrats placed in
position." "

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON,
Dec 4.—The Universal Suffrage As
sociation of Louisiana, said to consist
of thirteen men, has sent a delegation
hero with a series of resolutions ad
dressed to Congress, in which they ask
the impeachment and removal of An
drew Johnson, the abolishment of the
present State government of 12mtisiana,
and the establishment of a loyal Ter
ritorial government, with a military or
provisional government therein. They
also ask Congress to provide for a
State government therein on the basis
of universal suffrage, and also to estab
lisp universal suf6ago throughout the
United States.
Doe. s.—The Timis() had a two hours
session to day, most of which was oc
cupied by Mr. Williams, of Pittsburg,
in a speech on a bill reported by him
from the Judiciary Committee last sea
sion, to regulate the tenure of office.
Ho claimed that Congress could regu
late the entire question of removals
and appointments, and that by the leg
islation provided by his bill, no rem°.
val from office could be made without
the consent of the Senate. llis remarks
towards the- close were severe on the
President. A number of amendments
were offered to perfect the bill, and it
was then postponed until to morrow.
The indications are : that it will pass by
a very large majority.
In the Senate there was a debate on
the bill, passed hy' i the House on Mon
day, repeating Oa amnesty power of
the President. It came up on a mo
tion to refer to the Judiciary Commit
tee. .Mr. Chandler repeated his accu
sations against the President, and re
asserted that pardons were sold on the
streets by women of doubtful reputa-
Con. Mr. Dixon assumed tho champi
onship of the President, denied these
charges, and asked Mr. Chandler for
his proofs. Mr. Chandler replied that
his authority was the Judge of, ono of
the courts before whom testimony to
the effect lie had stated had been ad
duced. Ho referred undoubtedly. to
the trial of Lafayette C. Baker, ex-de
tective of the War Department, who
was arraigned last summer by Mrs.
Cobb on a charge of false imprisou
inept. The bill was finally referred.
Mr. Sumner introduced his resolu
tions on reconstruction, of which ho
gave notice yesterday, and they were
ordered to be printed. They declare
that all proceedings with a view to re
construction originating in Executive
power are in the nature of usurpation;
that this usurpation becomes especially
offensive when it sots aside the funda
mental truths of our institutions; that
it is shocking to common sense, when
it undertakes to derive now govern
ments from that hostile population
which has just boon engaged in armed
rebellion, and that all Governments
having such origin are necessarily ille
gal and void; and it is the duty of
Congress to proceed with the, work of
reconstruction, and, to this end it must
assume jurisdiction of the States lately
in rebellion, except-so far as that jur
isdiction may have boon already re
nounced, and it must reetwnize only
the loyal and valid "Legislatures" as
entitled to representation in Congress
or to a voice in the adoption of consti
tutional amendments.
Senator Wade called up his joint res
olution of lust session, proposing to
amend the Constitution of last session,
by prohibiting,. the.re„clection of Presir
dent or Vice ;Presidifnt of the United
States. He made brief and very
temperate speech ,ori the subject, not
alluding directly to the present Execu
tive, but taking . the ground that all
Presidents bad o late used their pat
ronage to secure re-election. The res
olution was referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
Dec. s.—The Republican caucus. to
night was attended by nearly every
member of the party from both Houses.
The first business in order was tho re
port of the Committee appointed at
the last caucus, to recommend certain
measures for the consideration of the
caucus.
The Committee recommended first,
the appointment of a special commit
tee of three to go to New Orleans to
i 2.IM-Vi 2 :, t t t PA l e ( WA AY!
tod with great applause and unanimity.
Next came the recommendation for
the Committee of three to investigate
the circumstances attending the mur
der• of three citizens of .11.aiue in South
Carolina. This looks foggy as report
ed by the Committee, but it was un
derstood to have reference to some
cause which when brought fully to
light will implicate the President in
some way. It was agreed to without
dissent or inquiry, consequently our
special caucus correspondent could not
get at the particular• points in the
case.
It was recommended that the Com
mittee on military affairs inquire into
the truth of the allegations that men
who were on tho Pension roll of the
United. States army andinavy in 186 Q,
and who went into the rebel army and
fought through the war, have been re
instated by order of the President or
his agents and subordinates, on the
pension rolls of the United States since
the close of the war. (Great applause.]
It was agreed to pass a bill exclu
ding from the Electoral College. in
1868 all States not at that time repre
sented in Congress. This was received
with manifestations of great enthusi
asm, and the applause it drew forth
lasted several minutes.
The recommendation was for atom-,
mitten of three to investigate what
truth there was in the report that the
President bad restored lands forfeited
by Act of Congress.
And lastly, it was agreed to pass a
bill that no name should bo placed on
the roll of the Fortieth Congress of
any State not represented in the pres
ent Congress. This drew forth more
applause than ever.
Thus ended the real business of the
caucus. •
Advertising
Few persons appreciate the value of
liberal and extensive advertising. Yet it
is ono of the most powerful aids to the
business man that can be conceived.
For the benefit of those who can't see
it, when the Use, of advertising is dis
cussed, we give the following instance
of its value : "The man who invented
"Drake's Plantation Bitters," and in
vented the cabalistic sign—"S. T.-
1860—X"---for them, and datibed it all
over the world, has made an inde
pendent fortune. Lately he sold out
his right in the invention (after having
made as mueh money as he needed,)
for $70,000. After the sale, ho was
to communicate the significance of the
wonderful and world renowned hiero
glyphics : "S. T.-ISGO—X." 7 -Started

this is the fact. lie started in business
in 1800, with a capital of only ten dol

sistent, and magnanimous advertising,
he has amassed .a princely fortune in
side of a half dozen years."
