the President by the Constitution, to

,uus es the financial question, and in
vites to it - the early consideration of
Congress. In comparing the currency
circulation of seven years ago with
now, he says that "the striking facts
make it the obvious duty of the Gov
ernment to take such measures as will
t. , nable the holder-of its notes and those
. of the National Bank!i to convert them
without loss into specie or fits equiva

, paper need not necessarily follow.. This
would depend on- the law of demand
-
and supply, though it should h: Lorne
in mind that by making legal tender
tenet bank notes convey convertible into coin, or
its equivalent, their pr sent specie value
would be enhanced 10 per cent." '('lie
varied issues of our bonds and the gold
and paper interest of the same is allud
ed to at some length, and theJ President
declareS that equ4l and extietliustice re
quires that all °tithe creditors •of the
government should be paid in a eurren-
ey of equal value, not gold for 'ope.l
and paper for.another. favurs
measure of retiring our paper .currency
that thOreturn of gold and silver may
cease to be intieles of traffic, and return
to our avenues of .trade. "It is unreas
onable to expect," he says, "a return
to a sound currency so long as the Gov
ernment, by continuing to issue irre
-1 deeniable notes, fills the ehannels - of
circulation. With depreciated, paper."
. The attention of Congress is' earnest
! ly invited to the necessity of thorough
revision of our revenue sybtein, and the
large reduction in . ( the number of ar
ticles taxed is urged.
The President says that peace has
been secured with the Indians; but that

The President's Message—a summary
.of which we publish elsewhere—reads,
in good part strangely like something
•he Las sent out to the country before. It
- is, iii fact, a curious medley - of obstinate
passion, vehement rcCiteration of last
year's arrnnents, and common sense.
If Mr. Johnson had quoted at certain
points—"licie A. J. entlS, and Seward,
McCullough, or Jerry Black begins"—
as Ilse case , may be, the composite na
ture of the document 'would - -not be
more poi atedly defined. All a State pa=
p 1

speeimen o ' the acrid-suave in political
literature i : will bear comparison with
the editerif Is of Thr World." In fact,

the dyspep le Chamberlain, Who giVes
the World its status among great jour
nals, could not have done better.

is no union as our fathers understood

that Mr. Johnson well knows that there
hits not been a - Union, as our fathers un
derstodd the term, for th4ty years. Ho
knows, also, that. but for his defianee of
