The President's message.
The President sent his Annual Message to
both Houses of Congress', bo UsiTuesdaj It
displays the ability and patriotism which char
acterizes all the productions of -Mr. -Buchanan's
pen. It is a lengthy document, and we
hav6 not therefore room for it in our columns.
We will however endeavor to lay - before our
readers an abstract of the most important sub
jects discussed in it. After a few , appropri
ate introductory observations, tho President
sajs:
Whilst it is the duty of the President .'from
time to time to give to Congress information
of the state of the Union.' I ehall not refer
in detail to the recent sad and bloody occur
rences at Harper's Ft?rry. Still it is " proper
to observe that these events, however bad
and cruel in themselves, derive their chief
importance from the apprehension that they
are but symptons of an incurable disease in I
he public mind, which may break out in still I
more dangerous out-ages, and terminate at
least iu an open war by the North to abolish
slavery in the South. Whilst, for myself. I
entertain no such apprehension, they outfit
to afford a solemn warning to us all to beware
of the approach of danger. - Our Union is a
stake of such inestimable valae as to demand
oar constant and watchful vigilance for its
preservation, in this view, let me implore
tuy countrymen. North and Sbfi'.h, to'culti
vcte the ancient feelings of mutual "turbear-v
ance and gooJ-will toward each other, and
strive to allay the' demon spirit of sectional
hatred and strife now alive in the land. This
advice proceeds from the heart of au old pub
lic functionary whose commenced in the last
generation, among tho wise and conservative
statesmen of that day, now nearly all parsed
away, aud whose first and dearest earthly
wUh is to lpave his country tranquil, prosper
ous, uuited, aud powerful.
We ought to reflect that in this age and es
pecially in this country, there is an incessant
flux and reflux of public opinion. Questions
which in their day assumed a most threaten
ing aspect, have now nearly gone from the
memory of men. They are "volcanoes burnt
out, and on the lava and ashes and squaliid
scoriae of old eruptious grew the peacelnl ol
ive, the cheeriiig vine, and the sustaining
corn." Such in my opinion, will prove to be
the fate of the present sectional excitement,
should those who wisely seek apply the
remedy, contine always to confine their efforts
within the pale of the Constitution. If this
course be pursued, the existing agitation on
the subjects of domestic slavery, . like every
thing human, will have its day and give place
to other and less threatening controversies
Public opinion in this country is all-powerful
and when it reaches a dangerous excess upon
any question, the good sense of the people
will furnish the corrective and bring it back
within safe limits. Still, to hasten this aus
picious result, at the present crisis, we ought
to remember that every rational creature
must be presumed to intend the natural con
sequences of his own teaching. Those who
announce abstract doctrines subversive to the
Constitution and the Union, must not be sur
prised should their heated partisans advance
on2 step further, and attempt by violence to
carry these doctrines into practical effect.
In IhU riew of the subject it ouht never
to be forgotten that, however great may have
been the political advantages resulting from
the uutou to every portion or our cwinni
country, these would all prove to be nothing
should the time ever arrive when they cannot
be enjoyed without serious danger to thep3r
sonal safety of the people of fifteen members
of the confederacy If the peace of ti e do
nieetic fireside throughout these States should
ever be invaded if the mothers of families
within this extensive region should not be
able to retire to rest at night without suffer
ing dreadful apprehensions of what may be
their own fate and that of their cuildreu be
fore the morning it would be vain to recount
to such a people the political benefits - which
to them from the Luion. Self-preservation
is the first instinct of nature; and therefore
any state )f society in which tho sword is al
the time suspended over the heads of the peo
ple, must at last become intolcriblcv But I
indulge in no such gloomy forebodiugs. Oa
the contrary. I firmly believe that the events
at Harper's Ferry, by causing the people t
pause and 'reflect upon the possible peri) to
their cherished institutions, be the means,
under Providence, of allaying the existiug
excitement and preventing future outbreaks
of a similar character. They will resolve
that the Constitution and the Uuion shall not
engendered by raoh counsels, knowing that,
should "the silver cord be loosed or thegold
cl bowl be broken at the fountain,"
human power could never reunite the scatter
ed and hostile fragments.
I cordially congratulate you upon the final
settlement by the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States of the question of slavery in the
Territories, which had presented an aspect so
truly formidable at the commencement of my
administration. Tho right has bven estab
lished of every citizen to take his property of
any kind, including slaver, into, the, Vfuinriou
Territories belonging equilly to all the States
of the confederacy, and to have it protected
there under the Federal Constitution Nei
ther Congress nor a territorial legislature nor
any human power has any authority to annul
or impair this vested right. The supreme
judicial tribunal of the coantry. which is a
co-ordinate branch of the Government, has
sanctioned aid affirmed these principles ot
constitutional law, so manifestly just in them
selves, and so well calculated to promote pp.acc
and harmony among the States.
It is a striking proof of the sense of justice
which is inherent in our people, that the pro
perty in slaves has never been disturbed to
my knowledge, in any of the Territories
Even throughout the late troubles in Kansas
there bas not been any attempt, as I am cred
ibly informed, to interfere, in a single in
stance, with the right of the master. Had
any such attempt been made, the judiciary
would doubtless have afforded an adequate
remedy Should they fail to dt this bvreaf
ter, it will then be time suougb to strengthen
their hand- by further legislation ' Hid it
been decided that either Congress or the Ter
ritorial legislature possess the power to annul
or impair te ngnt to property in slaves, tl;
evil would be intolerable. In the later fvei.t
ther would be a struggle for a majority of
the members of tho legislature at each sac
cessive election, and the stored riilus of pro
perty held under the Federal Constitution
would depend for the time being on ihe re
6ult. The asgitatiou would thus be rendered
inrcresatst whilst the territorial eotrdhion re-
mained, and its baneful influence would-keep
alive a dangerous excitement among the peo
ple of the several States. "
, .Thus haa the status of a Territory, during
the. intermediate period from its first settle
ment until it shall become a State, been irre
vocably fixed by the final decision of the Su
preme Court. Fortunate has this been for
the prosperity of the Territories, as Well as
the tranquility of the States. Now, emi
grants from the North and the South, the
East and the West, will meet in the Territo
ries on a common platform,, having brought
with them that species of property best adap
ted, in their own opinion, to promote their
welfare. From natural causes the slavery
question will in each case soon virtually settle
itself ; and before the Territory is prepared
for admission as a State into the Union, this
decision, one way or the other, will have been
a foregone conclusion. Meanwhile the settle
ment of the new Territory will proceed with-
out 6erIous interruption, and its progress and
P - "sP"iy w" urn enaaogcrea or rctaraea

hen in the progress of events the inhabi
tants of any Territory shall have reached the
number required to form a State, they will
hen proceed, in a regular manner, and in
the exercise of the rights of popular sover
eignty, to form a constitution prepaiatory to
admission into the Union. After this has
been done, to employ the langu?e of the
Kansas and Nebraska act, they "shall be re
ceived into the Union with or without slave
ry, as their constitution may prescribe at the
time of their admission." This sound princi
ple has happily been recognized, in some
lonn or other, by an almost unanimous vote of !
both houses of the late Congress.
He then proceeds to state thai ''all lawful
means at my command have been employed
and sljall continue to be employed to execute
the laws agaiust the African fclave trade."
He discusses the subject at considerable
length and with much ability. We will pub
lish this portion of the message next week.
lie is still in favor of the acquisition of Cuba
principally for the reason that its annexation
to the United States, would close the world
against the Slave trade, and it would then of
course cease entirely.
The difficulty between this country and
Great Britain, growing out of the adverse
claims of the two Governments to the Island of
San Juan, under the Oregon treaty, is fully
explained. The difficulty has been so arang
ed that there is no longer any reason to ap
prehend a colission between the forces of the
two Governments during the pendency of
existing negotiations Our relations with
Mexico, ar e still rn an unsettled state. A
considerable portion of the message is occupi
ed by a discussion of this important subject.
The following extract concerning the Post
Office depirtment will be read with interest.
The Thirt '-fifth Congress terminated on
the 3d of March, 1850, without having pars
ed the "act making appropriations for the
service of the I.st Office Department du-in
the fiscal year euding the 30th June, I860 "
This act also contained an appropriation "to
s-jpply defiencies in the revenue of the Post
Office Department for the year ending the 30,
of June 1S59." I believe this is the first io
statice since the origin of the Federal Govern
ment, now more than seventy years ago,
vheo any Congress went out of existence
without having passed all the general appro
priation bills necessary to carrv on the Gov
ernment until the regular period for the meet
iug of a new Congress. This evcut imposed
on the Executive a grave responsibility It
presented a choice of evils.
Had this omission of duty occurred at the
first session of the last Congress the remedy
would have been plain. I might then have
instautly recalled them to complete their work
and this without expense to Government.
But ou the 4th of March last there were fif
teen of the thirty-three States which not elect
ed any representatives to the present Cou
gress. Had Congress been called together
immediately, these States would have been
virtually disfranchised. If an intermediate
period had been selected, several of the States
would have been compelled to hold extra ses
sions of their legislatures, at great inconveni
ence and expense, to provide for elections at
au earlier day than that previously fixed by
law Iutheregularcour.se, ten of these
States would not elect until after the beirin-
ing of August, and five of these ten not uutil
October aud November.
On the other hand, when I came to exam
ine carefully the condition of the PosfcOfSce
Department, I did u-t meet as many or as I
.T.fKMtlnoa .... T l.r.,1 s.r.nrfiniio.l. ITad !
tae bill which failed been, couuued ti appro
priation for the fiscal year ending the 30th
June next, there wul-l have been no reason
of pressing importance for the c ill of an ex-
' i 1 tit 1
tra S'-.-sion nuttting woui.i oeome uue 011
contracts (those with raiinai C3:iipaui,s only
excepted) for carrying the mail for the fir-it
quarter of the present fiscal year, commencing
ou the 1st of July, uutil the 1st of December
less than one week before the meetiug of
tho present C-mgress. The reason is that the
mail contractors for this current vear did not
complete their first quarter's service uutil the
30th ot September last; aud by the terms of
their contracts sixty days more ar allowed
for the fitittlemeet of their accouuts before
the Department could be called upon for pay
ment
The great difficulty and the great hardship
consisted in the failure to provide for the pay
ment of the deficiency in the fiscal year end
ing the 30th June, 1859. Tho Depirtment
had entered into contracts, in obedience to
existing laws, for the service of the fiscal
year, and the contractors were fairly entitled
to their compensation as it became duo. The
deficiencv as stated in the bill amounted to
3.83S,728, but, after a careful settlement
of all these accounts, it has been tRc-rtained
that it amounts to Sle.OOO. With the
scanty mcaiif at his command, the Postmas
ter General bas managed to pay that portion
of this deficiency which occured in the first
two quarters of the i.at fiscal year, sending
iu tho 3 1st December last.
In the mean time the contractors theni
Relvcs. under these trying circumstances have
behaved in a manner worthy of all commen
dation. TSiey had one resource in the midst
f their embarrassments After the amouut
du in each onu of ihno had been ascertained
land fiaally settled according to law, this be-
earo9 a rpectfio debt of record against the U-
nited State, which "enabled them . to borrow
mocey on this unquestionable secutity.
Still they were obliged to pay interest in con
sequence of the default of Congress, and on
every principle of justice ought to receive in
terest from the Government. This interest
should commence from the date when a war
rant would have issued for the payment of
the principal had an appropriation been made
for this purpose. Calculated up to 1st De
cember, it will not exceed 9G.GG0 a sum
not to be taken into account when contrasted
with the great difficulties and embarrassments
cf a public and private character, btb (9 the
people and the States, which would have re
sulted from convening and holding a special
session of Congress.
For these reasons I recommend the pas
sage of a bill, at as early a day as may be
practicable, to provide for the payment of the
amount, with iuterest, due to these last-men-tinoned
contractors, as well as to make the
necessary appropriations for the service of
the Post Office Department for the curren:
fiscal year.
X2T" An esteemed friend, has requested ns
to give the following well written article from
the Uuiontown "Genvs of Liberty" a place
in our columns In complying with his re
quest,, we doiotofcoi 82 wish to be understood
as declaring Mr. Dawson cur rtt choice for
Governor. It is true, we have long regard
ed him as one of the ablest and purest States
men Pennsylvania can boast of at the present
time, and we do not believe there is a position
in the gift of the American People which he
is unworthy to fill. If placed in nomination
by the State Convention for Governor, we ec
tertaru no doubt the Democracy rf Cambria
would cheerfully aud unanimously ratify his
nomination at the ballot box. But Gen. II.
D. Foster of Wcstmorelaud, is tL.ir fir6t
choice, and they sincerely hope that he will
bt the standard bearer of the ?rty, in this
State, during the approachiog campaign.
We know him well, and it is impossible to
know him, and not admire LLi exalted intel
lect aud stern unbending integrity. Like
Mr. Dawson he is an upright, pure and inde
pendant Statesman, who has ever scorned to
"crook the pliant hinges of tho knee that
thrift might follow fawning" We believe
his nomination would unite the party, and
that be would be triumphantly elected. We
arc certain he is not odious to any wing or
faction of the party Ia 1S57 he prevented
the election of the ingr&te Forney to tho Uni
ted States Senate; a circumstance sufficient of
itself, to entitle him. to the lasting gratitude
cf the Democracy of this State. The "West"
is entitled to the candidate, and if we cannot
have jfoster, we hope Dawson may be the
nominee.
3. EXT GOVCRVOR.
Notwithstanding the Democratic State Con
vention will assemble in less than two months
from thu time, we hear but comparatively
little said as to who is to be our t-t.ni Jard
bearer for Governor. This we d uot c insid
er a bad omen, indicating, as we think it
does, the true Democratic spirit of abstaining
from too much personal feeling, and foresha
dowing a de!ert!''3'rn of cordially acqui s
cmg iu tne nomination. n e Lave L .wover,
been gratified in observing in vuri'-us sections
f our State, an earnest sentiment in favor ot
lion .Jo us it. j.'awsn, oi tins county, as
the Democratic candidate. We are w-ll a
ware of Mr. DawsojTs disinclination to aizain
entering the field of public life, but w re
gard him as eminently the man for the times,
aud sincerely hope that existing exigencies
may induce him t forego, at least for a sea
son, his fondness for private life and pursuits,
and consent to the ue of his name in counec
tion with the gubernatorial canvas.
We mnst have a strong man, in every
sense of the term, as the Democratic candi
date for Governor, inasmuch ss on his succes !
may depend the result of the Presidential
election.
We know of no man withir. the broad lim
its Pennsylvania who would make a better
candidate for Governor than Jou L Daw
SOS. He has, first, the local popularity
which is essential to an accept ible candidate
As proof of this we need only ref-r to his
vote when elected-to Congress. When he
beat the Hon. A. J Oirle. a very prpuUr
man in this district, his majority in this
county was over one thocsand, when his
competitor was John L Gow. Esq.. one of
the accomplished gentlemen in the btafe.
' wa yws "well done, thou gorxi ana
faithful servant in term that couIJ not be
misunderstood or misinterpreted.
In addition to his home popularity. Mr.
Dawson has the character, talents, and per
sonal address to secure the respect of the op
position, and excite the enthusiasm of the
Democracy wherever he may go in the capac
ity of a candidate.
It has become a fixed nsacc for the candi
dates for Governor to take the Mump. Mr.
Dawson is admirably qualified for this duty.
He has a fine personal appearance; a bold,
original, and convincing eloquence; a quick
ness in debate, and a modd cotirtev and
dignity of deportment, which render him at
once a popular and nff-eTiv sneaker. Ilis
eloquent pppecrfi. and cffortstherwise. when
in Uon gross, in support of the IIon:e.st.ai
bill, have givon him a Mronw hold upon the
aff.'Ctions of the masses, which tell largely in
his favor in a warm poli'icul cnsrt. It re
ally appoars to us. all things orsidred. tht
Mr. Dawson is the Ptmnirest man that could
be started f.r Governor. His record is all
right; and in short, there is nothing lac-kin?,
but every thing enteral in him to make a
successful candidate, and excll nt Gv rnor
For the good of the party, then, if for noth
ing else, we hope to fee him nominated.
Should he consent to be a candidar. and
should the State Convention give him the
nomination, the Prnnylvania Demoeiacy
will demolish the ooharts of Altolitionism.
and gain a victory the glory of which will
last forever . .

Would the Sonth Profit hy Disunion ?
A correspondent of the National Intelligencer

much by losses from proximity to Mason &
Dixon's line, as any man south " of it." he
says: "Vet for all this I am ulterly unab'e to

selves by 'renouncing altogether' our connec
tions with the North. Shall we be removed
a hair's breath further from' the North 1
