-"Let the white laboring classes of
all sections of the Union stand up for their

them lies the power to make demagogues

We clip the above from a borrowed ed

eur sentiments exactly. Let the white

labor is to prosper it must be resp ected,- if
it 13 to be respected; it
.must not be mixed up with servile, labor;
therefore we say keep your slaves where
they are: dont blacken the free soil of our
Territories with the curse and shame of
bondage, but preserve it for the manly
toil of freemen as was intended by Jeffer
son and :mmortal compeers. This is the
very marrow of the principle on whirls
fourteen states have just triumphed over the
slave party. It remains to be seen whether
,the white laborers of Pennsylvania will
'stand up for their rights i n 1860, or,
Whether they will again be deceived and
distracted, as they were two years ago.
We believe that the laboring classes of
this state have learned their true interests
.1n this matter, and that they will make the
, delnageguee, who have heretofore betray:
.of insulted freemen. This being our faith,
•and bekiving, too, that our standard bear
er in 1860 must come up freely to the po
litical doctrines of New England, Wow
York and the great West, we shall be in no
hurry in naming our preference. We know
we shall have a good man; and we shall
reserve our strength to be expended in his

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
We publish to-day the second annual Mes.
sago of Presideht Buchanan to the Senate and
House of Representatives. The President
commences Ins Message by expressing grati
tude that the sectional strife which agitated
the Union but one short year ago has, in great
measure subsided. tie then proceeds to assert
the opinion of the Supreme Court, pronounced
in the Dred Scott ease, that all American citi

constitution, so long as the territorial constitu•
Lion shall remain. This it will be perceived
is the extreme pro•slavery position. It brings
the President directly into opposition to the
modified view of Senator Douglas.. 'the opin
ion of Mr. Douglas is, that the right in slave
.property. exists in the territorries under the
federal constitution ; and by the same authori
ty Continues to exist while the territorial con
dition continues. But he adds that, as slave

legislature, by simply neglecting to enact the
requisite laws, may substantially prevent the
existence of slavery in their territory. Thus,
whilst a slave under the constitution is proper.
ty, the territorial legislature may deprive his
owner of possession of him by neglecting to
enact adequate laws.
The President then goes at length into the
discussion of the Kansas question. We need
not follow him. Our readers have been advis
ed of the steps of the controversy as it pro.
ceeded. The President has nothing new to
THE HUNTINGDON JOURNAL.
say on the subject, and his Kansas policy has
already been severely condemned by the free
States. The people of Kansas are now, he,
says, at liberty to form another constitution,
but not until their number, as ascertained by
a census, shall equal or exceed the ratio requi
red to elect a member of the House of Heine
rentatives. It is not probable, he thinks, that
another constitution can be lawfully framed
ilitd presented to Congress before the popula.
tion of Kansas shall have reached the desig
noted number. The excellent provision rela.
five to population which Congre's have apple.
ed to Kansas ought he urges, to extended and
rendered applicable to all the territories which
may hereafter seek admission into the Union.
The condition of affairs in Utah is then con
sidered. They fora, a subject for congratula.
tiou. The wisdom and economy of sending
; such a force to Utah as would render all re
sistance on the part of the Mormons hopeless,
has been justified by the happy 'result. In
April last, Messrs. Powell and McCulloch were
dispatched to Utah for the purpose of offering
a full pardon for their pasrseditions and teen.
sons, to all those who should submit. The
gentlemen have satisfactOrily performed their
duty, as has Gov. Cumming. The services of
Col. Kane are also mentioned. The Governor
and other civil officers are now pdrforming
their appropriate functions in the territory,
without opposition, and. the authority of the
constitution and hws is re-established. The
President recommends that the pre-emption
system and land laws be extended to Utah.
The new treaties with China and Japan are
then announced, and the Message expresses
satisfaction with them, and is highly laudatory
of Mr. Reed. It thee proceeds to consider
our relations with Great Britain. The final
settlement of the right of search questiOn is
adverted to. The President expresses an ear.
nest desire that every misunderstanding with
the government of Great Britain should be
amicably adjusted.
The complications arising under the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty have not been settled though
the Preident has not abandoned the hope that
they may be speedily. On this point lie says
“lit my last annual message I stated that
overtures had been made by the British gov
ernment for this purpose, in a friendly spirit,
which I cordially reciprocated. Their propo
sal was to withdraw these questions from di
rect negotiation between the two governments
but to accomplish the same object by a negeti• !
anon between the British governtnent and
each of the Central American republics whose
territorrial interests are immediately involved.
'the settlement was to be made in accordance
with the general tenor of the interruption pla
ced upon the Clayton and Bulwer treaty by the
United States with certain modification. As
negotiations are still pending upon this basis,
it would not be proper for me now to commu
nicate their present condition. A final settle.
ment of these questions is greatly to be desi
red, and this would wipe out the last remain
ing subject of dispute between the two cons.
tries.
We presume the treaty lately conclued by
Sir W. Gore Ouseley, is one of the results 01
direct negotiations between Great Britain and
the Central American States, to which the
President alludes.
; With Spain our relations remain h, ~..„..
der the direct control of the Captain General
of Cohn, have repeatedly insulted our national
flag, and inflicted injuries on our citizens.—
From these numerous claims against Spain
has arisen. A. reply to the demands for rep
aration that have been made, is from time to
time postponed, sometimes by a change of the
Spanish ministry , sometimes by the repeated
reference of the Spanish government to the ,
Captain-general of Cuba for information. Ev
en the'Cuban claims, in which snore than a
hundred of one citizens aro interested, are
neglected. The President proposes that
when difficulties arise between the Mai °M.
cials and American citizens, resource shall be
had to the Captain-General, instead of the cab
inet at Madrid.
The President discusses the purchase of Cu.
ha. It its resent colonial condition it is a
constant source of injury and annoyance to
the American People. From its position it
commands the mouth of the Mississippi, and
while . the possession of the island would be of
vast importance to the United States, its value
to Spain is comparatively small. A recommen
dation is made in favor of an appropriation to
be distributed among the claimants in the Am
istad case.
The state of affairs in Mexico is greatly
complained of. The successive govern meals
of that republic have afforded no adequto pro
tection to foreign residents against lawless vie.
lence. Amidst the civil war raging the most
reprehensible measures have been restored to
by ball parties to extort money from foreign
ers as well as residents. Yet it would be in
vain for ourgovernmeut to attempt to' enforce
payment in money of the claims of American
citizens, now amounting to more than ten mil
lions of dollars against Mexico, because she
is destitue of all pecuniary resources to satis
fy these demands. Mr, Forsyth was furnished
with amylo powers for the adjustment of all
n t‘e.ttot , ... But all remonstrances
addressed by him to the Mexican government
with that government beenuse maze . = v?
United States who, uncer his instructions. bad
refused to pay a contribution imposed, was
banished from the country, after a forcible sei.
zuro of his property. The American govern.
meat doed not, however regard, the contribu
tion alluded to,. which was imposed by the de
cree of the 15th of May last, as 'a forced loan ,
which is prohibited under a treaty with Mexico.
Abundant causes now undoubtedly exist fo r
a resort to hostilities against the government
still holding possession of the capitol. Should
they succeed in subduing the constitutional
forces, all reasonable hope will have expired
of a peaceful settlement of our difficulties,
Should the constitutional party prevail, the
chances for peace will be better. This part of
of the Message is significant, and especially so
in view of the threatened interposition in bo
half of the church party by Spain. But to,:
the expectation that the constitutionalists will
prevail, the President declares that ho would
at once recommend Congress to grout him the
necessary power to tako possession of a sulT•
eject portion of the remote mud unsettled terri•
tory of Mexico, to be held in pledge until our
demands are satisfied. Even as matters now
are, the President can:conceive of no way in
which our southwestern frontier can be protec
ted from predatory bands of Indiand and law.
less Mexicans, who seek shelter on Mexican
territory, save by the United States assuming
a temporary protectorate over the northern pm.
tion of Chihuahua and Sonora, and establish
ing military posts within the same, and this he
recommends to Congress. In the same con
nexion he asks a territorial government fer
izona, now containing a population of twelve
thousand souls, and practically without n gov
ernment and laws.
The Presuleht then passes to a consideration
of our relations with the States of Centr a l
America. The transit route, controlled by
Costa Rica and Nicaragua, he declares to be of
great importance to the commerce of the world
to be interrupted by the civil wars and revolu
tionary outbreaks which have so frequently oc
curred in that region, and it is the dote of oth
er nations, while respecting the sovereignty of
these States, to require that the interruption
shall not take place. The stake is too impor
taut, also, to be left to the mercy of rival com
panies, claiming to hold conflicting contracts
with Nicaragua. The government of the Ifni
ted States will Rot be satisfied with less than
this. They would not, if they could, derive
any advantage from Nicaragua transit, not
common tot he rest of the word. Its neutrali
ty and protection for the common use of all
nations is their only object. They have no ob
jection that Nicaragua shall demand and re
ceive a fair compensation front companies and
individuals who may traverse the route ; but
they insist that it shall never be closed again
by on decree, its it was by the Walker-Rivas
government.
The President refers to the Cass-Yrissari
treaty, which Nicaragua has failed to ratify,
because of the provision authorizing the Uni
ted States to employ force to keep the route
open, in case Nicaragua should fail to perform
her duty in this respect. He concludes this
portion of his Message by asking for authority
from Congress to employ the land and naval
threes of the United States in preventing the
transit from being obstructed or closed by law
less violence, and in protecting the lives of
American citizens traveling, thereupon. We
need say nothing of the importance of this de
mand. ft speaks for itself, A similar neces
sity exists for such an act for the protection
of the Panama and Tehuantepec routes. The
Persistent discusses at some length the claims
the United States has against Nicaragua, Cos
ta Rica, and Nov Grenada, and also alludes to .
sloe Paraguay expedition.
He then comes to the consideration of the
depressed condition of the industry of the coon
try. He adds but little to what he said on the•
subject in his last annual message. Our man
ufketurers have everywhere suffered in the late
royalties; but this was not because of the ta
riff or 1857. The same ruin,us consequences
would have followed in the United Staten, un
der the) tariff of 18.16. They were the inevita
ble result ol• our unsound and extravagant sys-
tem .of blink 0w... ....3 ,- A . •
been subjected must continue to return at in
tervals, so long as our present unbounded sys
tem of bank credits shall prevail. The Presi-
dent, therefore, renews the recommendation in
favor of the passage of a uniform bankrupt
law, applicable to banking institutions. This
is all tinr poorer over the subject which he be
lieves the Federal government possesses.
The message then refers to the financial con
dition of the government. The President does
not believe it admissable for the goveramest
in time of peace to accumulate a debt for its
ordinary expenditure. ' As the revenue now
Molls shot•t of the wants of the government,
the President, therefore, recommends such a '
change in the tariff as will afford the secessn•
ry revenue. And the incidental protection of
forded by a revenue tariff, he segues, would'.
at the present moment, increase the confidence
of the manufacturing interests, and give fresh
impulse to our reviving'business. In regard
to sloe mode of assessing duties under a strict•
ly revenue tariff, the President declares that
he has long held the opinion that sound policy
requires that this should be done by specific
duties, in eases to which those can be properly
applied—such, for example, as articles of iron
of different classes, raw sugar, and foreign
1 wines and spirits. Ito his deliberate judgment
' specific ditties are the best, if not the only
means of securing the revenue against fraud.
All we can say is that it is ft pity that Sloe Pre
sident did not make this declaration ti, year
since, and also recommend the augmentation
of duties. It Was as apparent then as it is
now, that the revenue frotn customs would fall
far short of the requirements of the govern.
meat.
The President concludes his Message with
some remarks on the state of the Treasury
and Post Office Departments, and asks of Con
gress an appropriation to carry out the contraet
entered into, by hits, with the Colonization So
ciety, for the disposition of the negroes captu

THE MESSAGE.
Many of our cotemporaries deal severe
ly with the President's late blesange
Some of them charge the author with un
mitigated falsehood, while other more
choice of terms vimply accuse hini:.of `rt
desire to misrepresent. The Press,speaks
of Mr. Buchanan's views of tic Kansas
tluestion, has a long article on the subject
which comtnences as follows: .
"We do not know that wo ever read
with feelings of so much disgust any p,t•
per as we hove that part of the Presidents
Message that relates to Kansas. The
whole of it is a gross libel, from beginning
to and."
The Pennsylvania Inquirer, always cir
cumspect in its language, says :
In its tone towards the people it is cold
and repulsive—in that towards foreign
Cal ,
teous, yet deadly. It locks the elements
of a first class state paper. It is devoid of
frankness, and steadily steers clear of the
,most important suggestions upon topics of
the most urgent magnitude to the nation."
The New York Tribune says :
''To undertake to refute, within the
compass of a newspaper article, all the
sophisms, misrepresentations, distortions,
and positive untruths that are crammed in
to a modern pro-slavery President's mes
sage, would be prepos.erous,"
