RESIDENT’S MESSAGE 1
South America is about to receive encourage
ment by n direct 'lino of mail BteamalUps to
the rising Empire of Brazil. The distiiMuish
cd party of men of science who have recent
ly left our country to make a scientific explo
ration of the natural history, ami rivers! and
mountain ranges of that region, have receiv
ed from the Emperor that generous welcome
which was to have been expected from his
constant friendship for the
and his well known zeal in promoting the
advancement of knowledge.
A hope is entertained that our commerce
with the rich and populous countries that
border the Mediterranean Sea may bedargo*
ly increased. Nothing will bo wanting, on
the part of this Government, to extend the
protection of our flag over the enterprise of
our follow-citizens. dVo receive from the
powers in that region assurances of good
will; and it is worthy of note that a special
envoy has brought us messages'of condolence
on the death of our late Chief Magistrate
from the Bey of Tunis, whose rule includes
the old dominions of Carthage, on the African
const. ,
Our domestic contest, now happily ended,
has left Roms traces in our relations with
one, at least, of the great maritime Powers,
yiie formal accordance of belligerent rights
to the insurgent States was unprecedented.*
and has not been justified by the issue. But
in the systems of neutrality pursued by the*
Powers which made that concession, there
was a marked difference. The materials of
war for the insurgent Slates were furnished,
in a gr«»at measure, from the workshops of
Great Britain, and British ships, manned by
British subjects and prepared for receiving
British armaments, sailed from the ports
of Groat Britain to make war on American
commerce, under the shelter of a commission
from the insurgent States.
These ships, having once escaped from
British purts, ever afterwards entered them
in every part of the world, to refit, and so to
renew their depredations. The o niscquongos
of this conduct wore most disastrous to the
States tlion in rebellion, increasing their dcs
elation and misery by the prolongation nl
our civil contest. It had. moreover, the ef
fect, to a great extent, to drive the American
flag from the sea, and to transfer much of
our shipping and our commerce to the very
Power \vhu*>o subjects had created the neces
sity fur such a change. These events took
place before I was called to tho administra
tion of the Government. The sincere desire
for peace by which I am animated led me to
approve the proposal, already made, to sub
mit the questions which had thus arisen be
tween the tw*» countries to arbitration.
These questions are of such moment that
they must have commamle-l tho attention of
tho great powers, and are so interwoven with
tho peace and interests of every one of them
as to have insured an impartial decision. I
regret to inform you that Grca.t Britain do
clinod tho arbitrament, but, on tho other
hand, invited ns to the formation of a joint
com mission to sottio mutual claims between
tho two countries, from which those for the 1
depredations before mentioned should bo ex
cluded. The proposition, in that very un
satisfactory form, Ims been declined.
The United Suites did not present the sub
ject as an impeachment of \hc good faith of
a Power which was profesdng tho most
friendly depositions, but as involving ques
tions of public law. of which tho settlement
is essential to tho peace of nations; and,
though pecuniary reparation to their injured
citizens would have followed incidentally on
a decision against Great Britain, ouch com
pensation was not their primary object
The? had a higher motive, and it was in the
interests of peace and justice to establish im
portant principles of international law.—
-.The correspondence will bo placed before
yon.
Tho ground on which the British Minister
rests his justification is. substantially, that,
the municipal law of a nation, and the do
mestic inUM'ijretationa of that law, are the
—mea-mro-Tif irs-diirv~a~M~n neutral Tlind 1 (o 1
bound to declare my opinion lief to you and
helore the w odd. that that jnstiiioati m oar;-
not bo sustained before the tribunal of na
tions. At tho same lime Ido not advice to
any present attempt at redress by acts of leg
islation. For the future, friendship between
the two countries must rest on tho basis uf
mutual Ju-tice.
From the moment of the establishment of
our free Constitution, the civilized world has
been convulsed by revolutions in the inter
ests of democracy or of monarch}*: but
through all those revolutions tho United
States have wisely and firmly refused to be
come propagandists of republicanism. It Is
tho only government suited to our condition ;
but wo have never sought to impose it on oth
ers ; ami wo have consistently followed the
advice of Washington to recommend it only
by tho careful preservation and prudent use
of the blessing. Boring all the intervening
period the p>dn:y of European powers and of
the United States Inis, on the whole, been
harmonious. Twice, indeed, rumors of the
Invasion of some parts of America, in the in
terest of monarchy, have prevailed ; twice
my predecessors have had occasion to an
nounce the views of this nation in respect to
such interference.
On both occasion* the remonstrance of the
United Stares was respected, Irom a deep
conviction, on the part of European govern-
that the system* of non-interference
an I mutual abstinence from propagandist!’, w a*
(ho true rule fur the two hemispheres.—
Since those lin;e;> wo have advanced in
wealth and power; hut wo retain tho .same
purpose to leave the nations of Europe to
choose their own dynasties and form' their
own systems of government. This consist
ent moderation may justly demand a curves
ponding imulerai ion. We’should regard it
as a great calamity to ourselves, to the cause
of good government, and to the peace of the
world, should any European power challenge
the American people, as it wore, to the de
fense of republicanism against foreign inter-
ference.
Wo cannot foresee and arc unwilling to
consider whaf opportunities might present
themselves, what combinations might offer
to protect ourselves against designs inimical to
our fjrm of government. The United States
desire to net in the future as they haye «
acted heretofore ; they "‘ill never be drive
from that course but by the aggression 01
European Powers ; and wo rely on the wis
dom and justice of those Powers to respect
the system of non-interference which has so
long been sanctioned by time, and which, hy
its good results, has unproved itself to both
continents.
. The correspondence between the United
States and’ France, in reference to questions
which have become nuhjeots of discussion be
tween the two Governments will, at a proper
lime, he laid before Congress.
When, on die organization of our Govern
ment, under the Constitution, the President
of tho United States delivered his inaugural
address to the two Houses of Congress. Be
paid to them, and through them to the coun
try and to mankind, that “ the nrcservatian
of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny
of the republican model of government, are
justly considered as deeply, perhaps as final
ly staked on the experiment intrusted to the
American people.*’
And the House of Representatives answer
ed Washington hy the voice of Madison:—
" We adore the invisible hand which has led
Hie American people, through so many diffi
culties, to cherish a conscious responsibility
for the destiny of republican liberty.” More
flinn seventy-six years have glided away
since these words wore spoken ; the United
States have passed through severer trials
than were foreseen; and now, at this new
epoch in our existence as one nation, with our
Union purified by sorrows, and strengthened
hy conflict, and established by the virtue of
;ho.people, the greatness of the occasion in*
vUcfl U 9 onco more to repent, with solemnity,
tho pledges of our fathers to hold ourselves
answerable before our fellow-men for tho
success of tho republican form of govorn
mont. i
Experience has proved Us aufficinncy in
peace and in war ; it lias vindicated its au
thority through dangers and afflictions, and
sudden and tsrriblo emergencies, which
would have crushed any system that had
bmm leas firmly- fixed in the heart of the
people, At the inauguration of Washington,
the foreign relations of the country wore
few, and its trade was repressed by hostile
regulations ; now all tho civilized nations of
the globe welcome our commerce, and their
Governments profess towards us amity.
Then our country felt its way hesitatingly
along an untried path, with States so little
bound together by rapid means of communi
cation as to bo hardly known to one another
and with historic traditions extending over
very few years; now intercourse between
the States is swift and intimate ; tho experi
ence of centuries has been crowded into a
few generations and has created an intense,
indestructible nationality.
Then our jurisdiction did not reach beyond
the inconvenient boundaries of tho territory
which had achieved independence; now,
througtroosaions of lands, first colonized by
Spain and Franco, the .country has acquired
a more complex character, and has for its
natural limits the chain of Lakes, the Gulf of
Mexico, and on tho cast and west the two
great oceans.
Other nations wore wasted by civil wars
for ages before they could establish for them
selves the necessary degree of. unity ; tho la
tent conviction that otfr form of Government
is the best ever known to tho world, has
enabled ns to civil war within
four years, with a complete vindication of
the constitutional authority of the General
Government, and with our local liberties and
State institutions unimpaired.
Tiie throngs of emigrants that crowd to our
shores ace wi pi tho confidence of all
people in our permanence. Here is tho great
land of free labor, whore industry is bloused
with unexampled rewards, and the bread of
the workingman is sweetened by tho con
sciousness that the cause of the country “ is
his own cause, his own safety, his own digni
ty.” * Hero every one enjoys the free use of
his faculties and the choice of activity as a
natural right. Hero, under the combined
influence of a fruitful soil, genial dimes and
happy institutions, population has increased
fifteen*fold within a century.
Hero. through the easy development of
b resources, wealth lias increased
with twofold greater rapidity than numbers,
so that wo have become secure against the
financial vicissitudes of other countries, and,
alike in business and in opinion, are self
centred and truly independent. Hero more
nu l more care is given to-provide education
for every one bora on tho soil. Hero rdi*
gion. released from political connection, with
tho civil G■ivornrm.nt' refuses to subserve- tho
craft of statesmen, and becomes, in its indo- ’
pen.lenue, tho spiritual Sifo of the people. (
Hero toleration Is extended to every opinion,
in the quiet corfcahity that truth needs only 1
a fair field to secure the victory.
Hero tho human mind goes forth un- i
shackled in tho pursuit of science, to collect ;
stores of knowledge and acquire an ever in
creasing mastery over tbo forces op nature.
Hero the national domain is offered and
held in millions of separate freeholds, so
that our fellow citizens, beyond the occu
pants of any other part uf tho earth, odnsti
tute in reality a people. Here exists the de
ni erntio form of government; and that form
ofgi>v rmnent, hy tho confession o- European
otatcsaien, “give* a power of which no other
form is capable, because it incorporates every
man with tho Scale, and arouses everything
that belongs to tin* ami.”
Where in past history docs a parallel exist j
to the public happiness which is within tho 1
reach of tho people of the United States?
Whore, in any part of tho globe, can institu- 1
. _tions_Un_ilmnd-so-su;to4-to-tbeu'-lnvbits-nr-far
entitled to their love as their own-free Con
stitution? Every one of them, then, in
whatever part of the land lie has his home,
must wish its perpetuity. Who rf them will
not now acknowledge in the words of Wash
inglon, that “ cv,erv step by which the oeo
file of the United States have advance-1 to
the character of an independent' nation,
seems to have been distinguished by some
Token of Provideotialagcncy.
Who will not join with me in the prayer,
that tho invisible hand which has led us
through the do «(!-■» that gloomed around our
path, will so guide us onward to a perfect
restoration of fraternal affection, that wo of
this day may he aide to transmit our great
inheritance of Slate Governments in all
their rights, of tho General Government in
its whole constitutional vigor, to our posteri
ty, and they to theirs through countless
generations ? Andrew Johnson.

The death of Turkeys too, seems to bo the

the coming holidays, they will nut forget the
printers; editors too are fond of turkey, and
when some of their subscribers make thorn a
present of a turkey, they too will cnjny
Christmas, and pleasantly remember the
kind donor. Hut while all this is to be
thought of, wo hear it stated—that very nice
and cheap Christmas presents such as Al
bums, Scarfs, Gloves, Sic., arc to be bad at
thostirc of Julius Nru wiial, between Drs.

appear at the dinner table in a neat and ele
gant fitting suit, it is necessary to go to the
store of Julius Newiial, who keeps constant
ly on hand the finest, best and cheapest
stock of all kinds of clothing ever offered at
Carlisle. His stock consists in Overcoats,
suits of all grades and shades, Coats, Pants,

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
We lay before our renders, this week, fche
first annual message of President Johnson:
A press of advertisements compels us to
forego any extended comments upon it at
[this time. We have simply space to say that
j since the inaugural addr.esa of Mr. Lincoln,
j no pubiie document was evermore anxiously
dm»ko'd”lorT"Tno‘“questions with which Mr.
Johnson has to deal, arc even more impor
tant than those submitted to Mr. Lincoln ;
audio their solution President Johnson has
followed his frequently expressed determina
tion to discard the idea of being a partisan
executive. Consequently men of all parties
find something in the message to praise, while
there arc none who endorse it entirely. IVe
shall, at some future day, give oar views more
at length.
Fire. —About one o’clock, on last Saturday
morning, a fire broke out in the carpenter
simp, belonging to Mr. Jons* Gutsiiall, on
Walnut street. Ry the time the firemen ar
rived un the ground the entire building was
enveloped in Dames, ami beyond all rescue.
Throe chests of tools, owned by the works
men, wore destroyed, with, the shop. Mr.
Guthiall also loat'a number of tools, and a
large quantity of.building material. He es
timales his loss at about SloftG, on which ho
has an insurance of $B.OO. This fire was the
work of incendiaries, and wo hoar that sus
picion rests upon two young mon of this
town, who wore scon loitering about the pre
mises by rt neighbor an hour before tbo fire
broke out. We hope that some of those in*
condiary rascals, who have been applying
the match so frequently of late in our town*
will be caught and severely dealt with.
Another Fire. —About 3 o’clock, orr Sun
day evening last,.nno;hor fire broke out in a
barn, owned by Wm. M. Henderson, in
North Middleton township, on tlip outakirta
of the Borough, The light of the fire reflect
ed through the town, and the alarm was
given and the bolh rung. Tlie firemen ran
out with their, apparatus, but, finding that
their services would not ho required, they
did not go to the sconce of tho conflagration.
The barn, with its contents of hay and straw,
was entirely destroyed. Cf course this was
the work of incendiaries.
Unkind Sport. —On several occasions re
cently the students of Dickinson College have
been amusing themselves hugely by sotting
fire to piles of leaves and brush in the Col
lege Campus, nn'd then by raising the cry of
•‘Sro,” to draw lout the firemen, who,
ever ready to battle with the devouring
flames, run out with their apparatus, un-Iy to
find that they have been badly sold. This
proceeding on the part of the students has
caused great, indignation among the firemen,
and we have heard quite a number of them
avow that sfioqld the College ever take f,ro
they would not “ turn a hand to save it.”
We ape yory sorry that the students will in
dulge in such unkind sport. Good common
sense should, certainly touch them that it is
wrong. It is hue} enough when the services
of our firemen are really required, without
calling thorn out on a “ fools errand.” We
do net wish to reflect upon all the students
for this vicious practice, for we know that
there nro quite a number of respectable and
clever young men at the College, who
would frown upon such proceedings; but,
as it has often been said, there are “ black
sheep in every flock.” Wo hope that they
will see their folly, and not indulge in such
unkind sport hereafter. •
MAT CONGRESS IS,DOING.
When the people began to call certain
members of Congress “ radicals,” a fetf
years ago, they had no adequate conception of
the full meaning of the Word. Radicalism .is
something like sin in the heart, it is decided
ly progressive, but in the wrong Way. The
present Congress, for instance, Is far ahead
of any thing we have had before, in its radi
cal madness. The Senate is scarcely called
to order before Mr. Sumner offers a bill ’’ to
guarantee a Republican form of Government
in the District of Columbia”—this means ne
gro suffrage at the Capitol ot the Nation.
Had the bill really provided for what its
title indicates, Mr. Sumner would bo exactly
four years too late in having it passed, for
“a Republican form of Government" was in
much greater danger “ in the District of Co
lumbia," under the Stanton’s, Seward’s and
Holt’s of the late Administration, than it
ever will be under Andrew Johnson. On the
same day Mr. Dixon offers resolutions “ in
favor of perfect equality ®fore the law,"
while Bingham, in the House, offers ttn
amendment to the Constitution of the United
States providing 11 that Congress shall have
the power to make all laws necessary and
proper to secure all persons equal protection
and liberty of person and property." As to
Thaddeus Stevens, bo is dashing with n
perfect looseness at every thing in our histo
ry or Government which savors of antiquity
or conservatism, and is acting on the old
principle, enunciated by him in the Buck-
Shot War, " Conscience indeed! Throw con
science to the devil and stand by your party I”
Our space will not permit us to give a synop
sis of the daily proceedings of Congress, but
did we do so, it would amount to about, six
columns of the style of vagaries alluded to
above. What the last Congress did not pull
down, for lack of time, their successors seem
determined to accomplish before the holidays
set in.
As to tho Democjfltlc members, wo notice
tint one and another occasionally raises Ins
voice in remonstrance against tbo usurpa
tions and innovations of the hour, but their
remonstrances are powerless for good. Nev
ertheless we trust they will stand firmly by
their principles, in the full reliance that his
tory at last will vindicate the justlcoof their
position and the purity of their intentions.
Let them continue to raise their voices in
earnest protestation against this radical
change oj our whole system ami theory of
government. Lot the able, taftrned and do
cj<»onfc BocitWiOr bv hoard from In no uncer
tain tones; and lot Messrs. Pa wson, Sxuouse,
Ancona, Glossurenner,, llam?calii., Penni
son, Stiles and Boyer re-echo tho sentiments
of the Democracy of Pennsylvania. Tho
battle is not always to th© strong, nor tho j
race h) the swift; and a- systematized oppo
sition t.» tho measures of the paity in power
may do much towards saving to ua some
thing of the old ami time-honored principles
of Republican Caovermuenb. Already the ra
dicals have worked themselves in between
the horns of a very troublesome dilemma, and
it should bo the-purpose of our Democratic*
Congressmen to keep them there. Before
tho war, under the Constitution, every free
negro, though bo did not vote, was coaniod
in the ratio of ropr- aLiam-whilc-tho-Suutb
eprescnt
was only entitled' to a throe-filths represent
tution for her slaves. Now these slaves have
been declared free, and, whether the people
of the South give them the right to vote or
mit, a negro at the South will count as much
as one at the North, and this- legitimate re
sult of Republican doctrine will give the
South twenty more representatives in Cott
gress than she now has. Let our Democratic
members, then, force the Abolitionists to be
consistent with the natural tendencies of
their oVrn teachings.

obstructed footways, but a warm rain follow

first touch of winter was only a“ foretaste of
what may he expected.

Tho results of tlio Fair, recently hold at
Rheem’s Hall, for tlio benefit of St. Patrick’s
Catholic Church of Carlisle, have been so
eminently sntislnctory in a pecuniary point
o( view, and so strongly characteristic ol tho
liberality of our citizens, that tho undersign
ed takes great pleasure in submitting tho fol
lowing statement of tho receipts and expend!
tnros of the Fair, and in doing so, avails her
self of the opportunity, on bohalfof the mem
bers of 1 the congregation, to lender her sinj
cere thanks to the Quod Will, Empire, Union,
and Cumberland Fire Companies, for their
efficient aid in carrying the enterprise to a
successful termination. The gentlemen de
legated for that purpose, hy their respective
organisations, were untiring in their efforts,
and for their valuable assistance, wo aro un
der lasting obligations.
Our warmest thanks fly° also due to the
young Indies who so cheerfully gave their
time and influence in taking charge of tho
■a'o tables during the fa r. The amount re
alized by them forms a very important item
in tho general receipts ; and. in thanking
them for their services, wo feel it a pleasure,
ns well aa a duty, to bear testimony to tho
zeal and ability displayed Uj them in that
department.
To the citizens, also, of ovdry denomination,
hero and elsewhere, we are deeply indebted
for their generous donations and liberal pa
tronage. Wo shall cherish the recollection
of thoil- kindness as a bright example of that
truly Catholic spirit, whieli knows no sent or
party where good enn ho done, and indulge
tlie hope, that their contributions to us will
he to them as 11 bread cast upon tlio waters,
to return again after many days.”
