On the Oih of June last, in violation
of our neutrality laws, a military e*p«-
dition and enterrrise against the British
North American Colonies was projected
trnd attempted to be carried en within
the teiritory and jurisdiction of tlreUiii
ted States. In obedience to the .obliga
tion imposed upon the Kxceotkre by the
Constitution, to Bee that the laws are
faithfully executed, aU citizens were
warned, by proclamation, against taking
part in or aiding such unlawful proceed
ings. and tho pmper civil, military, and (lficeis
(lficeis were directed to take all
neee sat/ .measures for the enforcement
o) the luws. The expedition failed, but
it has not been without its paiulul conse
quences. Some of our citizens who, it
was alleged, weic engaged in the expe
dition, wero captured, and have been
brought to trial, as for a capital offense,
in the Province of Canada, Judguieat
aud senteuce of death have been pro
-11 lunced ngainst some, while other have
been acquitted. Fully believing in the
maxim of government that severity of
civil punishment for misguided persons
who have engaged in revolutionary at
tempts wh ch have disastrously failed, is
unsound aud unwi-e, such representa
tions have been made to the British (Jov
ernment, in behalf of the convicted per
sons, as. being sustained by an enlight»
ered and humane judgarent, will, it is
hoped, i iducc in their cases an exercise
of clemency, and a judicious amnesty to
all who wie engaged in the movement
Counsel has been employed by the Gov.
ernment to defend citizens of the Unite 4
States on tiial lor capital offenses in t 'an
uda; and a discontinuance of the prose
cutions which were instituted in the
Courts of the United States against
th ose who took pint iu the expedition, has
been directed.
I have regarded the exjediton as not
only | ' litieal iu its naiute, but as also in
a grant ineasute foreign from ihe United
States iu its-causes, character,und ol jects.
Ihe attempt wus understood to be made
in sympathy with an insurgent poity in
Irelitni, and, by striking at a Ikitiah
Pro\ ince on this Continent, was designed
to aid in obtaining red I ess for political
grievances which, it wus assnmed, the
people ot Ireland had suffered at the
bands Of the British Goverumeut during
a period of several centuries, 'lhe per
sons engaged iu it were chiefly uauves of
that country, scuie of whom hud, while
others had not, become citizens of the
'United Slates under our general laws ol
uatniulization. Complaints til juisgov
eTti-ment iu Ireland continually engage
the attention ol the iiritish nation, and
so great an agitation is now prevailing in
Ireland that the Hritish Government have
denned it nee'ssary to suspend the writ
of ImOrut njrpus iu that country. These
circumstances must necessarily modify
the oniniou which we might otherwise
have entertained with regard to an ex
jeditiou expressly prohibited by our
neutrality laws. So long us tho»e laws
remain uponourstutute books, they should
'be faithfully .executed, aud if they ope
rate haishly, unjustly or oppressively.—
Congress alone can -pply tlve remedy, by
their modification or repeal.
Political and Commercial interests of
the I'nited States are not unlikely ti be
affected in some degree by events which
are transpiring in the eastern regions ot
Europe, and the time seems to have eume
when our Government ought to have
a proper diplomatic representation in
Grtceo.
This Government has claimed for ill
persons not convicted, or accused, or sua
]-feted of crime, an absolute political
rightof self expatriation. u ud a choice of
iH-w national allegiance. Most of the
Euiopeau States have dissented from this
principle, and have claimed a right to
hold fuch of their subjects as have im
migrated to and been naturalized in the
1 nited States, and afterwards returned
on transient visits to their native coun
tries, to the performance of military ser»
vie in lil.e manner as resident subjects.
Complaints arising from the claim in this
risj.cct made by foreign Statis, have
heretofore been matters of controversy
ibeiwecn the United States and some of
the European Powers, and the iriitatioo
con.-equetit upon the failure to settle this

We clip ths following comprehensive
synopsis of the President's Message from
the Ger men town Telegraph. It gives, in
-a nutshell, all that is really contained iu
this State document:
The annual Message of President
Johnson to Congrtss is abiief aud U-CHl
erately toned uooutnent. it 0| ons with
a re I ere nee to the abatement of the pes
tilence, the proclamation ut peace, and
the restoration of the civd authority in
the lately insurg-nt districts. He says,
what many of our readers will think a
rather stung expression under all the
circumstance*, that the enforcement ol
the laws is no longer obstruct .d, though
we join with him in sayiug that an en
tire restoiatiou of fraternal feeling must
be the earnest wish of every patriotic
heart. The President succinctly recupi
tulates the leading eveuts of his recon
struction. and expresses regret that the
members of Congress from the Slates he
has roconstited have not been recognized
by either Hiiuse. lie goes over much
the same arguments as heretofore on the
subject, 'ihe excessive uuxisty of the
President to secure seats lor his rebel
frieuds leads him into an argument to
show that these States have becu repeat
edly during the war and since the war
recognized as States by all brauches of
the Government, Con.ress included, aud
it is rendered manifest that his views
Ipive uudergoue no change at all iu con
scqueuee of the disastrous failure of his
atlempt to dragoon Congress aud d-jfeat
the Republican* ii the popular elections.
The 1 n uate of the President iscuur
teous anu good tempered throughout, in
striking contrast with offensive tone of
hi«t>pe«ehes,but his positions are through
out the same -and be insinuites adroitly a
centralizing, usurping, aud uucoustitu
tin il p i.icy i b tli# part of I'ougiujs—
f roui ilits portion of the message it is
clear that all the effort* tjget Up a tiuee
between the Piesiuent aud Cougress have
tailed, that he has not advanced a single
step towaid conciliation, and that his
professions to members were wholly de
c -ptive.
He com sends to Congress the senti
me.its expressed in the Treasury Report
and culls attention to the necessity of car
rying into every department of the Gov
criimeut a system ol ligid accountability,
thorough retrench me nt aud wise eeouomy
and he adds that with no unu-ual or cx
<eeptima « d lures the oppressive bur
thens oi taxation can be lessened by a
modification of tile revenue laws. Dur
ing a period of fourteen months the Na
tional dent has bieu reduced 61''0.379.-
s(jo, instead ol its being increased 8112.-
194 1)07 as the Secretary of the Treas
ury iguorantly estimated iu his lust annu
al report, the receipts of the year having
been $59.1R15 805 mote and the expendi
tures 8200.529 235 less than he estima
ted. The receipts lor the fi cul year
ending June 20th. 1800, wee 658.082.-
020, and the expenditures 8520.750 90J,
being » surplus ol 837.281 080, and it is
estimated that the receipts lor the pres
ent fiscal year will bo 8472.001.380 and
the expenditures 8310 428.078, leaving
a suiplus of 8158.033. 3u8, but the Sec
rctaiy shot so wide of the mark last year
that we ueed not attach much value to I
his calculations now. Jhe President, cau
see no good reasou why taxes may not be
reduced us the country advances in pop
ulation and wealth, and get the debt ex
tinguished within the next quarter of a
centurv.
In the War Depaitment the message
says that few volunteers now remain in
the senieo, aud they are being discharg
ed as rapidly as they can be replaced by
regular troops. '1 he sruiy is to be furii
ished with breech loading small arms.—■
Sufficient war material has been return
ed to meet any emergency. Fortifications
on the coast aud frontier have received
more powerful armaments. I'repaia
tions have been made for the payment ul
the additional bounties authorized during
the recent session of Congress, under
such regulations as will proteet (be tiov-
Cinment from fraud and secure to the hon
orably discharged soldier the wull-eartied
reward of his services.
'J he Navy has 110 vessels in commis
sion. aud the whole naval force consists
of 378 vessel* armed with 2801 guns
The number of men in service is 13,600.
The President strongly urges the Senate
to pass the bill accepting League Island
for in iron-clad naval depot.
The expendituies ol the I'ostal De
partment arc 8U65 093 it: excess of the
rece ptf. a* is always the case when tho
South has to be supplied Willi mail ser

In regard to the Public Lands the Pres
ident endorses the existing system, be
lieving lhat immediate settlement is itf'
tu.ire consequence than revenue. lie
urges some s'liugent provisions to secure
a laiihlul application of the land grants
to lai'ro'id and other corpt rations, in
which we must hesrtily agree with him.
He slates that the Pacific Kailroad will
be completed w ihin the period designa
ted by Cougress.
'i he pension rolls include 126 722 per
sons, involving last year a disbursement
of 513.459.b96, and its estimated that
$33 UUO UUU will be required for the next
ti.-cal year.
Treaties have been made with rebel

'I he message recommends measures to

VALEDICTORY.
KIND READERS:—Three years has
passed since the firstu-unrtier ol the CIT
IZEN was issued. We were then, as a nn.
t ; on. just turning the "'weather guage ol
late." Lincoln had given notice that.il
the insurgents did not come to terms in
the meantime, he would issue a procla.
mutiun of Freedom on the first ol Janu
ary following. At this bold, patriotic
announcement llebels snrered, Copper
head? chafed, and Conservatives shook
their heads in ominous silence. Always
au anti-slavery man of the positive sort
always dissatisfied with the manner iu
which our statesmen had attempted to
patch up one compromise alter another—
thereby iuvitiug uew demands to be met
by new cotices-ions. I hailed this nieas
ure us a final -solution of nil our troubles
For whatever ol legal restraint the nation
haifoimcrly been under, certainly thcie
could be no objections, now that the
South had thrown off its constitutional
guards, to the use ol the prooningknife. J
For the pu-pose of taking a more jkctive 1
part in the political questions rtiat were
thus forming, under the leadership of an
honest, patriotic President, I determined
urn the establishment of the CITIZEN.—
Of what service it has been to the cause
of trufh, which is the cause of progress?
if liberty, its readers are the best judg
es. Placing the name of our then Pres
ident, Lincoln, at our mast head in the
first number of our paper, we never ceas
ed our effort in his behalf, until he was
triumphantly re-elected. When the
present incumbent ng.'endcd to his seat, n e
gave him an honest support, nor did we
comulain until, uy the reticeuc* of hip
message of last year, on the reconstiuc
tiort question, we thought we saw the germ
ol treason to t'.e party that had elevated
hiui to power, aud the principles he had
professed to hold. Eveu then some of
our readers thought we were committing
a mistake. As things turned out, how
ever, our apprehensions proved to bo too
true. All now admit that nothing but
the early at.d active influence of the loyal
press of the country maintained the unity
ofjthe party, and preserve i its power. For
the humble part we took in this matter
we have received the congratulations of
o«r friends.
Three years ago our party major ty was
so reduced that it was with difficulty we
could prevail upon our party friends to
tUiuk it possible to rctuiu control.—
For this it ere were good rea-ons. The
progress of the war had greatly reduced
the loyal vote, while the bulk of our op
poueuis were still at home, ready to ap
pear at the polls, in force, to vote the
war atailure. All this las passed away.
The ''Hoys iu liiwu v liavu returned it.
force. Canadiaus are distianchised, ana
our couuiy is able ouce more to loot up
au old faslnoued majority of between five
and six hundred.
If, during this important period in our
history, we, as au liuiuble journalist, aid
ed iu the cousummatiun of the satisfae»
tory results to which we have just refer
red, we will ever feel proud ttiat it was
our lot to serve thus the cause of truth.
There is ouc subject .u which we have
felt a deep iutcrest, iu the consummation
ol whicii we have nut beeu so suecesslul
as was to be desiied. 1 refer to the re
tuoUeliiij; of our j>oor laws, so that we
could make arrangement* for the care an
comfort of the destitute. We had hoped
that the people of the couuty would have
availed themselves of the tuud to be di
veiled from the "Old Academy"—being
near five thousand dollars, as we believe,
indeed the public mind seemed to have
settled in ibis ditection. l{ut no action
was taken, and the gotdeu opportunity*
was allowed to p-iss. The fuud bas been
transferred to .another, and, as 1 believe,
less meritorious object.
All the satisfaction left (or me, now
that the chill blasts of winter are remind
ing us of the prospective suffering of the
destitute, is that 1 done my duty in en
deavi ring to direct public attention to
the stern calls of hutnauity, and to still
indulge the hope that the subject may be
.kept Wore Uw people till action is had,
and not -only the neitsaities, byt tf>e
comftris of the poor cared for.
With these reflections upon onr mind,'
it is indeed with sadness that we an
nounce to our readers that our relations
to them, as owner aud editor of the CIT
IZEN, has terminated with the end of th»
third volume!
We never intended to abandon tbe le
gal profession for any other permanent
business, and we find it impossible, white
managing a paper, to .fceaUe to gi»e that
•tndy'*nd attentiou tu legal matter* that
they demand. For this reason aioue hare
we made up our miud to forego tlw agree
table relations whicfk, »s editor of the
CITIZEN, we hare maintained with our
political friends in time past.
While we thus announce our writH-'
draws! with tegret, it is quite a consola
tion to be able to announce that it has
parsed into the hunds of our personal and
political friend Major 0. K. *NDIRBON,
whose favorable acquaintance with our
people as well as his thorough knowledge
of the business, and his acknowledged
ability, is a sore guarantee of the success
of the CITIZEN in his hands. We trust
that lot only for his own sake, but for
the sake of the principles the CITIZEN
has always advocated,%e may be liberally
sustained.
Having always allowed, whatever of
leeling might have arisen during the heat
of a political campaign, to die with it,
we have no complaints to make, nor have
we any apologies io offer.
Uetaiuing, therefore, malice towards
none, but charity for all, we remain
Yours, truly,
TFLOS. KOBINSON.
NiUTATOUI.
In taking charge of fhe CITIZEN, we
feel "(that we have taken upon us a res
ponsibility, which we shall endeavor to
discharge to the very best of our ability.
We are well awire of the fact, that, to
picase everybody, is an impossibility.—
We shall,nevertheless,labor to please,grat
ify, and so fur as wcare able, to c*listen
our readers. The obligation tj the pub
lic, which we have voluntarily assumed,
iu taking cfc:irge.»f tlie AMERICAN CIT

tion.
It shall lie our object to mukc (lie CIT»

No pains shall be spared OTi our part,
in gathering the latest intelligence from
every section, giving in each issue the
largest amount aud greatest variety of
reading matter, that the size of on* pa
per will permit.
The flattering remarks of our worthy pred
ecessor and formereditor, we fear,are more
tl.an we deserv. If we shull beable with
the forbearance of our readers, and the
help of our able contributors, to keep the
columns of the CITIZEN as Viglit and as
ably conducted as tbe same hare been by
Mr. llufitNsoN, we (hall rest sathficd.—
We will do our best, and the best can do

we ask the continued patronage of the

C E. ANDERSON. *
Congrrsi*,
Very little of importance has as yet
been transacted by this body. A tew
days are always necessary to perfect an
organization, in appointing and arrang
ing the different committees.
We are informed by our exchanges
that the dilTcrent committees are busily
engaged in blocking out work for the
session.
A committee of three has been ap
pointed to investigate the New Orleans
massacre. It is also announced that the
House intends to appoint a special com
mittcc to investigate the uiurdor of Dr.
Robinson in .Salt Luke, and other Mor
mon outrages.
The Reconstruction committee ha*
been revived, with Thadeus Steveus as
chairman.
It was stated a few days since that hlte
Supreme Court had promulg ted a de.
cree against the constitutionality of the
test oath. This is incorrect. It has
only acted upon i rule dispensing with
it, but such a decision miy hereafter be
announced.
tfciT Both the I'risg and Republican of
Kit'anning, declare CURTIN the c 1 ic o
Armstrong county for Senator. We have
ouirelf, seen a great many citizens of
that county, and all declare the same
thing. This eounty for hiin, and our
Senatorial District, is a unit ou the Sen
atorial question.
REOROANIZATION AT THK SoUTH.—
The unsatisfactory Condition of affairs at
the South, says the N. Y. Times, is es
tablished by the reports of the military
comtuaoders stationed there, To many
of the statements emanating from that
section, respecting outrages upon freed*
uicn and other evidence of aversion to
Federal control, we have paid little atten
tion, believing that they were colored, if
not iuvented for partisan purposes. Hut
to the representations made by our mili
tary authorities in the Southern States
no suspicion can possibly, atiach. What
ever be their opinions on ix>jutroverted
political questions, at any rate they Are
responsible and impartial. They enjoy
the well earned confidence of the loyal
people of the land, aud their averments
wili undoubtedly be accepted as conclu
sive on questions of fact.
PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTB.—A
