> ROUND THE ALARM.
There can bo no doubt that it is the
purpose of the Radical revolutionists,
Phillips, Greeley, Sumner and Butler,
to strike a fatal blow at our present
form of republican government. They
propose to do this by taking from the
people of the separate States the power
to regulate the suffrage for themselves.
Tliis scheme was timorously concealed
for fear of disastrous consequences du
ring thecampaign. The radicals feared
to alarm the people of Ohio, Kansas,
Connecticut and other States which had
repudiated negro suffrage, and there
fore passed the following hypocritical
resolution on suffrage at Chicago:
&xwul Rccolufinn: Tlu- guaranty by Congress of
equal suffnige to all loyal men at the south was
demanded by every eousidei :iti<»n of public safe*
tv. of gratitude and of justice, and must be main
tained ; while the quest ion oi sutl’rage In all the
loyal States properly belongs to the people of
those Slates.
This was the Radical platform on suf
frage a brief month ago. But the elec
tion is over, the dupes have deposited
their voles, and have not ceased shout
ing for Grant until the leaders deliber
ately repudiate the platform on which
they elected him. The people of Penn
sylvania are to have no choice in the
matter, but Congress is to pass an
amendment to the Constitution, and
the State Legislature is to ratify it.—
The Philadelphia Press thus boldly an
nounces the plan:
When the Legislatures of three-fourths of the
states have ratified the proposed amendment se
curing suffrage Impartially to all the citizens of
the nation, and that right becomes embodied In
the National Constitution, the Mate jndteiarl s
will have little disposition to con test the question
nr embarrass action by fretful and querulous
discussions. All disqualifying statutes or judg
ments must go down before the new constitu
tional guarantee. The question of con Hid of au
thority between the National and ustate consti
tution* has been settled long ago m the courts
and confirmed on the Held.
Nor heed we anticipate adverse action from
the Supreme Court of the Ui u«*d suites. The
Judiciary Is the weake*-* ot L .ree branches of our
government, commonly bin erroneously called
co-oidlnutc. It cannot long oppose iis will to
that of the Legislature and of the E\eculi\ e."
This is not merely a question of ne
gro suffrage in Pennsylvania, but it is
one which affects the very existence of
the State, and the very spirit of our
government. Negro suffrage thrust on
the unwilling people of the South has
accomplished ten-fold the evil it can do
here. It is not simply the addition of
the small negro phalanx in Pennsylva
nia to the Radical party that inspires
the determined hostility of the Demo-
cratic party to this svlu-me. It i- a
proposition to take from tiu- Stale by
an amendment of the Con-iiiuii-m oi
the United Slates, the right ot deo rmi*
ning the qualifications of its own doc
tors. In depriving the j-eparate States
of this high attributeof power, the Pad-
lulls propose to degrade them to ir.c-n
dependencies and provinces of the grand
consolidated empire which they covet.
They are nu longer Slates In the son«e
of the fathers of the Constitution, but
more outlying satrapies of a
government, exorcising only ?uch pow
ers as that central government permit.-.
Republican government nißorably fail.-
when the Stales are deprived of the
power of determining the political qual
ifications of their own citizens. 'While
depriving, in Congress, ten States of
the Union of this power, the Radical.*
in Chicago affirmed it in regard to the
other Stales. Rut now they propose to
dissolve thirty-seven States composing
the Federal Union, re-mould them into
one centralized power and thus put an
end to the Republic, as Washington.
Jefferson, Franklin and Adam.* made it.
Are not Wendell Phillips, and Gree
ley, and Forney, and George Wilkes
and Ben Butler wiser than these old fo
gies in their own conceit ?
The Radicals have already wrested
from the Executive his Constitutional
power. The Supreme Court has ceased
to be one of the co-ordinate branches of
government. It only remains now to
successfully assail by these measures
the autonomy of the Stales, and then all
power will be concentrated in Congress.
The Constitution is thus utterly de
stroyed, and a mere majority in a-ca
pricious Congress, swayed by over
changing p*arty currents, becomes the
supreme arbiter over the late of the'ifa-
tiun. It only needs this measure* to en
able the Radicals in Congress to obtain
absolute'coutrol of the government, and
proclaim the empire in the name of the
people. Such an assembly gave the
sanction of the people of Franco to the
Empire of Napoleon in ISO-1, and to that
Of the nephew of his uncle in It
was such a body, which in utter con
tempt of the people, gave the throne of
Mexico to the unfortunate Maxi million.
With the rights of the States destroyed,
and ail’political power concentrated in
Congress, it would not he hard to per
suade the Radical majority in Congress
to proclaim an emperor in tiro august
person of Grant, and create themselves
hereditary peers of the empire, with a
batch of marshals. They will be com-
polled to do tins to maintain their
usurped power. The only sure menus
, °f saving the repuhlieaml perpetuating
the liberties of the people, is by main
taining the rights and dignity of the
States unimpaired. So says the Allcn
■ town Democrat,
EST Tho Louisville Journal gives in
few words what it conceives to he the
reason for the defeat of Seymour. It
says: f rom the best light before us
wo should say that Radical money and
Eadical.organizatiou'were too much for
tho bare Democratic principle of free
government which went to the people
on its own merits and was overcome by
the force of fraud and muscle. It is of
little moment now what should have
been the issues introduced into the can
vass. It is of little moment bow far the
East or tho. West may have heed in er
ror. There is enough for the Demo
cratic press to do if it look well after the
enemy ; and if.it docs that it may safely
forgive tho shortcomings of its friends.
“TRUTH IX X JCUTNIIKI.I,.’
Under the above caption, our neigh
bor of tho Herald publishes a statement
purporting to come from “ a venerable
Democrat in Madison, IntD,” who pro
fesses to regret having educated one of
his ten sons, because that one persists in
voting the Republican ticket over since,
whilst Ids nine uneducated brothorsad
hero to the Democratic party. Tho
Herald is of opinion that this story is a
“ fancy sketch,” but yet thinks it “ con
veys a lesson at oneo useful and sugges
tive,” inasmuch as it goes to show that
men of education must naturally be Re
publicans in politics, whilst ignorant,
uneducated men must naturally he
Democrats.
Tliis is modesty 11 in a nutshell.”—
When wo consider that about or.e-fourth
of the voters of the Republican party
are ignorant, uneducated negroes, quo
that nearly every man of brains or char
acter that ever belonged to that party
has left it in disgust, tire assumptions of
tire Herald appear rather ludicrous.—
Why, neighbor, you have scarcely a
solitary groat man left in your rickety
party, and perhaps there never, was a
party on tire face of tire earth that em
braced more ignorance, brutality and
dishonesty in its organization. In the
large cities, where we look for refine
ment and education, the Democrats are
in the majority by thousands ; so to in
the counties—Cumberland, for instance
—where general education and intelli
gence pervades, the Democrats are in
the ascendant. When the Republican
party first organized, many of its lead
ers were men of mark, for instance,
Chase, Doolittle, Cowan, Adams, of
Massachusetts, the Blairs, Andrew
Johnson and others. Where are those
men now? Every one of them the de
cided opponents of the party of which
they were the fathers. They were con
vinced that the Republican party was
controlled by ignorant ami depraved
men, fanatics, niggers and fools, and
thej left it in disgust. The men who
are now prominent in the Republican
ranks, its leaders, we may say, had no
position whatever in the good old days
of the Whig and Democratic parties.—
Then the so-called leaders of both par
ties were giants in intellect, whose pure
lives all could respect. On the Demo-
cratic side wc had Jackson, Buchanan,
Dallas, Wright, Calhoua, William Al
len, Benton, Woodbury, Van Ruren,
and scores of others equally distinguish
ed. On the Whig side they had Clay,
Web.-ter, Clayton, Henry A. Wise, and
others of epial fame and power. How
is it now? Who arc the leaders, the
shining lights of the pie-bald Republi
can parly? Wendell Phillips, the fa
natic, Fred Douglas, the Boston negro,
Bea*t Butler, Brule Brownlow, and a
few sore-heads like Cameron, Forney,
and little John Cessna, who left the
Democratic party and espoused the Re-
publican cause, because of the facilities
afforded them to become rich in a few
year*. These are the shining lights uf
the Republican party at present; they
have usurped the places occupied I»y
men of cnaracter, and the legislation we
have had fur the last few year* is an ev
idence of their littleness and ignorance.

We lay before our readers to-day the
me-Kige of the President of the United
Slates to the two Houses of Congress, at
the commencement of the second regu
lar fif-ssion of the Fortieth Congress. It
is a document of more than ordinary
significance and importance. Compre
hending in its scope the minutest de
tails of public affairs, botli domestic and
foreign,.it is n bold, frank, plainly ut
tered expression of the opinions enter
tained by the Executive upon the vari
roufi measures which in his estimation
demand the attention of the legislative
branch of the Government. The char
acter of the past legislation of tills Con
gress is severely criticised, and that
body is bluntly advised to retrace its
stops and repair its errors. A large
portion of the message is devoted to'the
consideration of financial matters, in
regard to which some novel views and
propositions are advanced.
Coxgos in Cong HESS.—The Louisi
ana Board of Canvassers have declared
the election of a coal-black negro to
Congress, and Sumner is happy. The
country he now considers as safe. It
was many months ago that this lover
of the sausage lipped declared he would
not consider the perpetuity of the Re
public-as fixed until he should have the
pleasure of welcoming negroes to seats
in Congress. The Louisiana Hoard of
Canvassers, having the fear of Sumner’s
prophesies before their eyes, have grat
ified his inanities by throwing out Dem
ocratic votes and declaring as above.—
Henceforth the floor of ihe American
Congress, made famous by the elo
quence and learning of statesmen, is to
be noted rather as a place where boot
blacks and white-washers congregate
with a view of passing laws for the gov
ernment of a great nation. Heretofore
it was deemed essential to. have states
men for such purposes. Under Radical
rule, however, statesmen are very much
out of place. Men of intellectual force
and breadth of thought would not suit
their purposes, hence the desirability of
securing the stupidity attaching to the
“ colored brethren.”
Reading Gazette.— Messrs. Haw
ley & Rilter.of the Rending Adler , have
purchased the Reading Gazette (the En
glish organ of the Rerks county Democ
racy,) from lion. J. Lawrence Getz,
who was re-elected to Congress at the
October election. Alfred Sanderson,
Esq., who has been connected with the
Gazette fur some years, will retain his
position as one of tho editors. Success

the following pertinent questions:
" Why i'/l nun \vc iim-t pay Irebk- thcnmomit

And it answers them as follows
•• IVi-.if.M' h.i\ :n.; lu:y ila*li vlovtion-. li.oy
I”'i-i hii\ ,• 1. . ;.-r ...»•> must steal nom

to no Into the market aiul County Conventions,
aiul buy the ,iml votes of men like cattle
dealers do droves ot slock, and therefore cannot
compote with these who do.”
The above questions and answers are
worthy of serious consideration. Of
late years we have a .class of men who
may be justly termed political gam
blers. They belong to both parties,
and they can bo found in the halls of
Congress, in our State Legislatures, and
other deliberative bodies. By a lavish
expenditure of money, by falso promis
es, chicanery and fraud, they effect their
purposes and worm into places where
they are enabled to “steal from the
public treasury to cover their illegal
expenses.” The man who obtains place
and power through the inlhicnco of
money, will dive into corruption and re
imburse himself the very first opportu
nity. That is just as certain as that twice
two make four. How different was it
twenty years ago. Then “electioneer
ing” by candidates for Congress or for
the State Legislature was neither resort
ed to nm countenanced. Men for these
positions were sometimes brought for
ward by communications published in
the county papers or by the spontane
ous public voice. Then a delegate to a
County Convention who failed to carry
out, by his vote, the wishes of the town
*or/township ho was selected to repre
sent, was a disgraced man, u 1m had dug
his political grave. The men of both
parties were inexorable, ami tjieir wish
es wore not to be thwarted by tricksters
and scoundrels who sold their votes for
money. Seldom, however, was a man
known to betray his political trust in
those days, for lie knew the linger of
scorn would bo pointed at him if he
dared even attempt it. Honesty in pol
itics was then considered as sacred as
honesty in private transactions, and by
this standared men were judged.
It would be well for the people, well
for the State and nation, if a return to
old customs and old ideas could be
brought about. Compare the yearly ex
penses of the State Government of
twenty years back with the expenses of
the present year, and we find them
nearly five times greater. Then look
at the National Government, and we
find a still more startling exhibition. —
The expenses of the National Govern
ment fur the year HOO—a year of peace
—were sixiy-thrcc millions of dollars ;
in 180!)— another year of peace—accord
ing to the estimate of tho Secretary of
the Trea.-ury, three hundred and seven
ty-two millions will be required to .car
ry on the Government for twelve
months! Is this? extravagance or cor
ruption, or both ? The fault, to a very
considerable extent, is with the people
;of both parties themselves. Let them
be mure careful how and to whom they
cntriM place and power, and let them
-or tln-ir fai *-s like dint apain-t iheeor

Tlio above was good advice a? well as
good cine. It serves ns an answer ai
'o to the lies promulgated
speakers ami editors during the late
campaign, who had the unblushing im
pudence to assert that the poor man
paid no taxes. The truth is, the poor
man, according to his capacity, pays
doutile in the way of taxation that the
rich man pays. The poor man is the
consumer, the rich man the producer.
Government taxes cloths, prints, cali
cos, fabric.-, entice, tea, sugar, tobacco,
iron, and indeed everything. Does the
capitalist, who is tire producer, pay this
tax that is imposed upon him ? Not a
cent of it. lie just adds tire amount of
the tax and a little more to lire price of
his commodities, and the poor man,
who is the consumer, pays tiro rich
man’s tax. A rail-road is taxed two
cents on eaeli passenger, and tire rail
road oflreors at once add five cents fare
to the passenger. Instead of paying
tiro two cents tax, tire rail-rond makts
three cents on every passenger. But,
we did not intend when we commenced
writing to branch out on the subject of
the tariff and taxation, hut merely to
call attention to Chief Justice Chase’s
words. Hereafter, when more time is
at our command, we desire to refer to
the system of taxation under which the
people are now groaning, as also to tire
baleful effects of a high tariff, for which
leading Radical capitalists are now
clamoring. Both are frauds and impo
sitions upon consumers and poor men,
as we think we will be able to demon
strate.
Radical Outrages.— Tho State of
Louisiana, as all are aware, cast a large
majority for the Democratic electors.—
The canvassing hoard of the State, how
ever, in canvassing the votes, have seen
fit to perpetrate a mpst-shameful out
rage by tin-owing out the votes of the
counties in which the Democracy had
large majorities, and declaring the Rad
ical ticket elected. Thus it will bo seen,
that notwithstanding the Radical cry
of “ let us have peace,” they are con
stantly.doing that most calculated to ir
ritate and create trouble, it is folly to
ask people to suffer quietly to the com
mitment of such grave outrages upon
their rights and privileges. Better far
‘to name the officers of the State at once,
than do so after the idle mockery of an
election. An acknowledged despotism
which lias method or boldness and di
rectness as its governing rule is far pre
ferable to a deceptive Republic which,
despite its professions, arrives simply at
tho same result. In the former, one is
saved the bitterness of disappointment,
in the latter comes not alone disap
pointment, but all the poignancy'of
accumulated outrages. If the Radicals
are in earnest in their “ peace” profes
sions, then will they denounce tins out
rage, and all thoie of a similar charac
ter.
i-hr the Volunteer
Mess us. Enrrons Philo Hall School
room is a place of so much interest and
importance, that I feel unwilling to leave
it without giving you some idea of the
general impression which it has made
upon my mind. We have a large sing
ing class organized here of over forty
members; all are taking a decided inter
est in the cause, and it has been termed
the headquarters of Dickinson— a place
for the class to meet once a week to nave
a pleasant singing. The class has been
organized fora term of six month;*; fed
eral months have already passed since
the opening of the term, and they are
now advancing and getting a pretty good
idea of music. 1 was surprised to lind in
so short u length of time how they have
taken hold of the study, and to the visi
tor they certainly make the impression
on his mind that their meeting together
is for the purpose of striving to improve*
Their motto is “ ever onward.” When
they take up a study they give it their
whole attention, and they will certainly
come out successful. I found a full turn
out of the class, all the members being
present. The members of the School
Board are respectfully invited to be pres
ent,at our singing. Some have already
been with us, but we would like to see a
full turn-out of the Board. They are
men of high principle, with a strict re
gard to honor, and the duties of their of
fice therefore requires them to bo present
to see what care we take of the new buil
ding. Its architecture, though not ele
gant, is neat, plain and impressive, hav
ing a staid and sober look that in a cold
climate lik£ ours has the first merit of
art, from the fact that it is comfortable.—
There is, however, much here to attract
attention during the winter months. —
The singing during the evening was ex
cellent ; they are progressing in this im
portant branch, and are certainly doing
credit to themselves as well as the dis
trict in which they reside. After a few
brief remarks by Prof. Lutz, the class ad
journed to meet at Philo Hall, Thursday
evening, December 17th.
On Friday evening we were present at
one of our Professor’s singings at Paper
town. The elas.- has been organized but
a short time, and bids fair to be an orna
ment in thi* little village. They enter-
aincd u> kindly in a somewhat uncom
humble house. -everal panes of glass be
ins: mil «»; the u indows, and the house in
ot u*i showing a liltlu Lhcd worse
of land usage, only aided in making us
uncomiorialdc. VVe, however, enjoyed
oir-elvcs. and look an interest in the
welfare of ihe class knowing our friend*,
dd thf mm in hheir power to make u
co uinrialde. I noticed members of other
chi.—cs pre-out. and the singing is well
woi 1 1 1 \ of tl»e writer’s notice. The citi
zen- ibis nourishing town should take
active measures at once and secure the
basement of the church for the class to
hold their singing. Wishing the several
classes success in the future, I will close
for the present. A Friend.

our own..
Negotiations arc pending with a view
to the survey and construction of a fafdp
canal across*tho Isthmus of Darien, un
der the auspices of the United States. I
hope lobe able to submit the results of
that negotiation to the Senate during its
present session.
The very liberal treaty which was en
tered Into last year by the United States
and Nicaragua has been ratified by the
latter Republic.
Costa Rica, with the earnestness ol a
sincerely ffiemlly neighbor, solicits a
reciprocity of trade, which I* commend
to the consideration of Congress.
The convention created by treaty be
tween the United States and Venezuela
in Julv, ISU-5, for the mutual adjustment
of claims, has been held, and its decis
ions have been received at the Depart
ment of State. The heretofore recogniz
ed government of the United Stales of
Venezuela has been subverted. A Pro
visional government having been institu
ted under circumstances which promise
durability, it has been formally recogniz
ed.
I have been reluctantly obliged to ask
explanation and satisfaction for national
injuries committed by the President of
! Layli. The political and social condi
tion of the republics of Hayti ami St Do
mingo is very unsatisfactory and painful.
The abolition of slavery, which has boon
carried into effect throughout the island
of St. Domingo and the entire "West In
dies, except the Spanish islands of Cuba
ami Porto Rico, bus Jjpen followed by a
profound popular conviction of the right
fulness of republican institutions, and an
intense desire to secure them. The at
tempt, however, to establish republics
there encounters many obstacles, most of
which may be supposed to result from
long indulged habits of colonial supine
ness and depenUcuceJupon European mon
archical powers. While the United
Si ales have, on all occasions, professed a
decided unwillingness that any part of
this continent or of its adjacent islands
..-.hull establish over a large portion of its
people a rule more absolute, harsh and
tyrannical than any known to civilized
powers.
The acquisition of Alaska was made
wi h the view of extending national juris*
aU-tion and republican principles in the
American hemisphere. Believing that
a further step could be taken in the same
direction, I last year .entered into a
treaty with the King of Denmark for
the purchase of the islands of fit. Thomas
and St. John, on the best terms then at
tainable, ami with the express consent
of the people of those islands. The trea
ty still remains under consideration in
the Senate. A new convention has been
entered into with Denmark, enlarging
the time fixed for final ratification of the
original treaty.
• Comprehensive national policy would
.-eeai to sanction the acquisition and in
corporation into our Federal- Union o
the several adjacent continental and in
sular communities as speedily as it e.i
be done peacefully, lawfully, and with
nut any violation, of national justice,
faith, or honor. Foreign possession or
control of these communities has hither-
1.1 hindered the growth and impaired the’
intlucncfc of the United .States. Chronic
[evolution ami anarchy there would he
equally injurious. Each one of them
when|riPm’y|eslablisbeJ in an independent
icpuidic, or when incorporated into the
Cubed Slates, would be a new source of
-nvneth ami power. (dml'orming my
.•I'i.mnistraliuii to these principles, I have
*., n iocea- ioii lent support or toleration
o unlawful expedition-on foot upon the
. i-a of republi'-au prapogamlism, or of
itional extension or aggrandizement.—
I'io- necessity, however, of repressing
- ..'li unlawful movements clearly imli
the < 1 lity which rests upon us of
a i . ■- t inir our legislative action to the new
i■ um-tances of a decline of European

M-as. interests and sympathies.
Ii cannot be long hemre it will become
necessary for this Government to lend
'nine effective a : d to the solution of the
p »!itlcal and social problems which are
continually kept before the world by the I
two republics or the island of St. Domiu
„ro, and which are now disclosing theni
-flvo- more distinctly than heretofore in
'li- Maud of Cuba. The subject Is com
mended to your consideration with all
the more earnestness because I am satis
i i hat the lime has arrived when even i
m direct a proceeding as a proposition '
'■t an annexation of the two republics of
the i-laml of Si. BomingoNvouUt not only
revive the consent of the people inter
ested, hut would also give satisfaction to
all other foreign nations.
I am aware that upon the question of
further extending our possessions it in
apprehended by* some that our political
system cannot successfully be applied to
an area more extended than our conli
m-nt; but the conviction-is rapidly gain
ing ground in the American mind that,
wuh the increased facilities for iuter
<MUimunicntion between all portions of
the earth, the principles of free govern
ment, as embraced in our Constitution,
if faithfully maintained and carried out,
would prove of sufficient strength and
breadth toenmprehen within iheirsphore
and influence the civilized nations of the
world.
The attention of the Senate and of Con
gress is again respectfully invited to the
treaty for the establishment of commer
cial reciprocity with the Hawaiian IClng
d »m, entered into last year, and already
ratified by that Government. The atti
tude of the United States towards these
islands is not very diflerent from that
in which they stand towards the West
Indies. It is known and felt by the
Hawaiian Government and people that
their Government and institutions are
feeble and precarious; that the United
States, being so near a neighbor, would
be unwilling to see the islands pass un
der foreign control. The prosperity is
continually disturbed by expectations,
aud alarms of unfriendly political pro
ceedings, as well from the United States
as from other foreign Powers. A reci
procity treaty, while it could not materi
ally diminish the revenues of the United
-Stales, would be a guaranty of the good
will and forbearance of all nations until
the people of the islands shall of them
selves, at no distant day, voluntarily ap- 1
ply.for admission into the Union.
The Emperor of Russia has acceded to
the treaty negotiated here in January
last for the security of trade-marks in the.
interest of manufacturers and commerce.
I have invited his attention to the im
portance of establishing, now while it
•seems easy and practicable, a fair and

The two Treaties between tlfb United
-States and Italy for the regulation of
consular powers and the extradition of
criminals, negotiated and 'ratified here
during the last session of Congress, h<we
been accepted and confirmed by the
Italian government. A liberal consular
convention which has been negotiated
with Belgium will be submitted to the
Senate. The very important treaties
which wore negotiated between the
United Stales and North Germany and
Bavaria, for the regulation of the rights
of naturalized citizens, have been duly
ratified and exchanged, and similar
treaties have been entered into with the
Kingdoms of Belgium and Wurtemhurg
and with the Grand Duchies at Baden
aiul Hesse-DarmstadU I hope soon to
be able to submit equally satisfactory
conventions of the same character now
in course of negotiation with the respec
tive Governments of Spain, Italy, aud
the Ottoman Empire.
Examination of chums against the
United. Stales by the Hudson's Buy
Company and the Puget’s (sound Agri
cultural Company,-on account of certain
possessory rights in tho Btato of Oregon
ami Territory of Washington, alleged by
■ those companies in virtue of provisions
of the treaty between the United St:*** 1 --
anil Great Britain, of June 10, 18-lh, has
been diliigently prosecuted • under iho
direction of the joint international com
mission to which ’they were submitted
for adjudication by treaty between tiie
two Governments of July 2, ISOJ, and
will, it is expected, bo concluded at an
early clay.
Ko practical regulation concerning co
lonial trade and the fisheries can be ac
complished by treaty between the United
Slates and Great Britain until Congress
shall have expressed; their judgment
conceyiing the principles involved. —
Three other questions, however, between
tbo United States and Great Britain re
main open for adjustment These are
the'nmtual rights of naturalized citizens,
the boundary question involving the ti
tle to the island of San Juan, on the Pa
cific cost, and mutual claims arising since
the year.lBs3, of tlie citizens and subjects
of the two countries for injuries and dep
redations committed under Die authority
of their respective Governments. Nego
tiations upon these subjects arc pending,
and I am not without hope of being able
to lay before the Senate, for its consider
ation during Die present session, proto
cols calculated-to bring to an end these
justly-exciting and long-existing contro
versies.
We are not advised of Dio action of
the Chinese Government upon the libe
rs! and auspicious treaty which was re
cently celebrated with its plenipotentia
ries at Ibis capital.
Japan remains a theatre of civil, war
marked by religious incidents and politi
cal severities peculiar to that long-isola
ted empire. The Executive has faithful
ly maintained strict neutrality among the
belligerents, and acknowledges ‘ with
pleasure that it had been frankly and ful
ly sustained in that course by the en
lightened concurrence ami co-operation
of the other treaty Powers, namely,
Great Britain, France, the Netherlands,
North Germany and Italy.
Spain having recently undergone a rev
oluDon marked by extraordinary unani
mity and preservation of order, the Pro
visional Govorumontestablishcd at Mad
rid has been recognized, and the friendly
intercourse which lias so long happily
existed between the two, countries re
mains unchanged.
' I rouewtherecommendation contained
in my communication to Congress dated
the 18th of July last—a copv of which ac
companies this message—that Die judg
ment of the people should be taken on
. the propriety of so amending the Fede
ral Constitution that it shall provide:
Ist. For an election of President and
Vice President by a direct vote of the
people, instead of through the agency of
electors, and making them ineligible for
re-election to a second term.
iM, For a distinct designation of the
person who shall -discharge the duties of
President, in the event of a vacancy in
that olllce by the death, resignation, or
removal of both Die President and Vice
President.
8. For the election of Senators of Dio
United States directly by the people of
the several States, instead of by the Leg
islatures ; and
4. For the limitation to a period of
years of the terms of Federal judges.
Profoundly impressed with the propri
ety of making these important modilica-
Dons in the Constitution, I respectfully
submit them fur the early ami mature
.consideration of Congress. We should
as far as possible remove all pretext for
violations of the organic Jaw, by reme
dying such imperfections as time and
experience may develop, ever remem
bering that “ The Constitution which at
any time exists, until changed by an ex
plicit and authentic act of the whole
people, is sacredly obligatory upon all.”
In the performance ol a duty imposed
upon me by the Constitution I have thus
communicated to Congress information
of the state of the Union, and recommen
ded for their consideration such meas
ures as have seemed to me necessary and
expedient. If carried into effect they
will hasten tiio accomplishment of the
great and beneficent pui poses for which
the Constitution was ordained, and
which it comprehensively stales were
u to form a more perfect Union* establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, pro
vide for the common defence, promote
the general welfare, and secure Die bles
sings of liberty to ourselves and our pos
terity.” In Congress are vested all leg
islative powers, and upon them devolves
the rcsponsihilit3’as for framing un
wise ami excessive laws, as for neglecting
lo devi.-o and adopt measures absolutely
'demanded by Die wants of the country.
Let us earnestly hope that before Die ex
piration of our respective terms of service,
now rapidly drawing to a close, an all
wise Providence will so guide our coun
sels as to strengthen and preserve the
Federal Union, inspire reverence for the
Constitution, restore prosperity and hap
piness to our whole people, and promote
•' on earth peace, good will toward men-”

Tun Editorial Treadmill-—Very
few .of our readers are aware of the ex

ty or sorrow’. The Judge may adjourn
his court, the school and the workshops
may close shutters, the mourner may
veil his features and turn friends and

friends, the Messrs. Sherk, have erected

things to rights in their new quar

The reply was very characteristic:
” You have never asked me, sir. I have

I am not invited.”
Startling. —Both continents of this
planet are to be submerged, according to

in about 5,000,000 years. Our subscribers
need not be deterred from renewing their

of tins prophecy, provided they do not
pay for a longer term than these figures
indicate. It would be well to watch this

this period his prophecies prove false
send us word and we will expose him—if
we happen to bo running the Volun

Suicide.— On Thursday evening last,
a man arrived at the State Capitol Hotel,

Fisir Breeding in
na.—The Philadelphia Bulletin refers in
the following manner to the efforts
which are being made to stock the Sus
quehanna river and its continent streams
with black bass.
This scheme is a very praiseworthy
one, anil deserves the hearty support of
all. Ever since the discovery of this
country, the inhabitants have engaged
in the work of destroying its game, and
have neglected to protect it in any man
ner, or to help its propagation. This
reckless havoc has produced inevitable
scarcity, until, in river and land alike,
wild animals worth pursuing can hardly
be obtained without going into the wil
derness. Happily, the reaction ba=? be
gun. Pisciculture attracted a great
deal of attention lately, and in >annua
portions of the country is conducted so
successfully that it bids fair to become a
very important’and valuable interest.—
The* people of Pennsylvania succeeded,
some years ago, in arranging the dams
in the Susquehanna so that the shad,
could ascend to waters to which it had
long been a stranger, and the very grati
fying results of this undertaking have
encouraged them to other efforts in the
same direction. It is intended to intro
duce the black bass into the Susquehan
na', Juniata, and other rivers, in large
numbers, and as this fish propagates very
rapidly, and is of delicious flavor when
served up for the table, it is thought that
a new, abundant and cheap article of food
will soon be provided for the people of
our inland towus. If the experiment is
successful there is no,reason why salmon
and other good fish may not be cultiva
ted also.
—The New -York Spirit of the Tin' i
