Crawfordsville, Indiana

S. BOWEN

Proniietor

Saturday, December 11, 1869.

The President's Message. The first tncpsago of President Grant, read to both Houses of Congress. on Monday last, though not long, is yet much longer

than

thought His Excellency would find

time to write, considering that he spent iimposcd

an eduoation with institutions closing to none the avenues to fame or any blessing of fortune that may be coveted with freedom of thc pulpit, the press, and the school with a revenue flowing into the National Treasury beyond the requirements of the Government supply. Harmony is being rapidly restored within our own borders. Manufactures, hitherto unknown in our country, are springing up in all directions, producing a degree of national independence unequalcd by that of any other power."

He next makes the astonishing statement that "we have just emerged from a rebellion of gigantic magnitude," and then encourages Congress by the following description of how

RESTORATION HAS PROGRESSED: '•The work of restoring the State governments loyal to the Union, for protecting and fostering free 1 bor and providing means for paying the Interest on the public debt has received ample attention from Congress. Although your members have not met with thc success in all particulars that might have been desired, yet on the whole they have been more successful than could have been reasonably anticipated. Seven States which passed ordinances of secession have been fully restored to their places in the Union. The eighth, Georgia, held an election at which she ratified her constitution, republican in form, electcd a Governor, members of Congress, a State Legislature, and all other officers required. The Governor was duly installed, and the Legislature met and performed all the acts then required of them by the reconstruction acts of Congress."

And then, because Georgia, having fully complied with all the requirements of congress, saw fit in her Soverign capacity to judge of thc eligibility of .some of the members of her rn Legislature, he proposes that Congress compel that State to swallow the following

ADDITIONAL DOSE

Under these circumstances, I would submit to you whether it would not be wise, without delay, to cnact a law authorizing the Governor of Georgia to convene the members originally elected to thc Legislature, requiring each member to take the oalli presented by the reconstruction act, and none to be admitted who are ineligible under thc third clause of the fourteenth amendment."

This disposes of reconstruction but before tackling with the subject of finance, as being next in order to reconstruction, he give9 us the fpllowing 'I

ROSE-CO LOU El) VIEWS OF THE NIUGER: '•The freediucu, under the protection which they have received, are making rapid progress in learning, and no complaints arc heard of lack of industry on their part, when they rcceive a fair remuneration for tlieir labor."

The loss of commerce is next deplored and some able suggestions prom ised to Congress in a subsequent message. Ulysses I., next shows the kindness of his nation, and the forgiving spirit, of Republics by recommending that the Senators and Representatives from Virginia be-admitted to Congress and that that "wajrward sister'' be restored to her place in the family of States.

Next comes his thesis on the currency—a question, which we have no doubt, has often interrupted the smooth flow of hi? contemplative mind, while pondering upon the various breeds and crosses of the cannine species. After alluding to the "promises to pay'' of the Government as an irredeemable currency, and deprecating the unsettled condition of commercial interests on account of this currency, he recommends a return— not immediate but commencing now— to specia payments, and suggests the following, as his

PATENT PLAN

•The methods to secure these results arc as numerous as arc the speculations on political economy. To secure the latter I see but one way, and that is to authorize the Treasury to redeem its own paper at a fixed pricc whenever presented, and to withhold from circulation all such currency redeemed until sold again for gold. The vast resources of the nation, both developed and undeveloped, ought to make our credit the best on earth."

This disposed cf, the bonds, representing the public debt, due and to become due next engages his attention, and in all his remarks upon this question he works in the interest of the Wall street gold Ring and against the interests of the masses of the people. Instead of plying off the bonds and stopping the interest, he proposes the following programme by which

TIIB PEOPLE MAT CONTINUE TO PAT

TAXES:

"The public debt is represented in a great part by bonds, having from five to twenty and from ten to forty years to ran, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent, and five per cent, respectively. It is optional with the Government to pay their bonds at any period after the expiration of the last time mentioned npon their face. The time hae already expired wkii a great part of

them niay tw Uken ttp. The time is rapidly •pprfeching when all may be. It la believed tfctt all Which tre now doe may be replaced by bonds bearing a rate of interest •ot exceeding four and one-half per cent and, an rapidly as the remainder becomes due, that they may be replaced in some way.

After giving thanks to the (lifer oi -Xhe subject of tariff and internal taxaall good for the benefits we, as a na- tion will necessarily rcceive yonr attention .i it _*.u The revennes of the country are greater t.on, enjoy, he opc-n* the ball with the

tastes and requirements of every living

After alluding to some uninteresting foreign matters, he next shows how Spain built some gun boats in the United States, how the goveanment seized them, and how we are about to let them go again. Here is what he sms about

THE SPANISH orx BOATS "The Minister of Peru, having made representations that there was a state of war between Peru and Spain, and that Spain I was constructing, in and near New York, thirty gunboats, which might be used by

Spain in such a way ns to relieve the naval fore at Cuba and so as to operate against Peru, orders were given to prevent their departure. No further steps having been taken by the representatives of the Peruvian Government to prevent the departure of these vessels, audi not feeling authorized to detain the property of a nation with which we are at pence, on a mere execution order, the matter has been referred to the courts to decide."

The Alabama claims next claim his attention, and he goes into a detailed history of the efforts made for settlement. Because the British Lion did not growl in a manner suitable to our dignity and position, her propositions of settlement were rejected, and the whole question is still an open one. In solacing himself and the nation over this unpromising state of the matter, he indulges in the following original piece of

PHILOSOPHY

Sensitive people conscious of their power are more at ease under a great wrong, wholly unatoued, than under the restraint I of a settlement which satisfies neither ideas of justice nor their grave sense of the grievance they have sustained."

The Brilisb Provinces on this Continent, are next given to understand tbat we want no reciprocity treaty with them, for tbe reason that we can make more money without it.

Then something is said about the Hudson Bay claims, the north western boundary, the slave trade, none of which are of much interest to the general retder.

The next paragraph forms a good news item, which we give, as it is all about

SUBMARINE CABLES

"It having come to my knowledge that a corporate company organized under British laws, proposed to land upon the shores of the United States, and to operate here a submarine cable, under a concession from his Mngesty the Emperor of the French, of an executive right for twenty years, of telegraphic communication between the shores of Franco and the United States, with the very objectional feature of subjecting all messages conveyed thereby to the sovereignty and control of the French Government, I caused the French and British legations in Washington to tfc made acquainted with the pablic policy of Congress on the subject, as foreshadowed by the bill which passed the Senate is Mareh last This drew from

mog

True |o thjj tradition, of his p„ty

the next propositions are the creation of a new office or two,, thc increase of tbe salaries of a few pet officials, (re lations perhaps,) an increase in Na tional Bank circulation, and the pay ment of a premium for GOVERNMENT SPIES AND DETECTIVES "Your attention is respectfully invited to the recommendations of the Secretary of the Treasury for the creation of the office of Commisioner of Customs Revenue, for an increase of salery to certain classes of officials, and tbe substitution of an increaS' ed National Bank circulation to replace the outstanding three per cent, certificates, and more especially to his rcommendation for the repeal of the laws allowing shares of fines, penalties, forfeitures, etc., to officers of the Government or to informers."

He here leaves the intricate and thorny path of finances and indulges in a few shallow platitudes, while speaking of Cuba and her fight for independence, liberty and self-gov-ernment and but in the breath gives the struggling heroes on that tropical island to derstand that she has got to earn her right to be free though bloodshed and persecution the most fiendish, without even a healping hand or a cheering voice from this great republic. But lest our readers should not understand all he has done for that suffering peo pie we give below in his own language what some might call his

AID FOR CI IJA:

"The United States, in order to put stop to bloodshed in Cuba, and in the interest of a neighboring people, proposed their good offices to bring the existing con test to a termination. The offer not being accepted by Spain on a basis which we believed couidbe received by Cuba, was with* drawn. It is hoped that the good officcs of the United States may yet prove advantageous for the settlement of this unhappy strife.,'

He next indorses the building of a canal across the Isthmus of Darian to connect tho Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and recommends an appropriation for surveys &c.

WEEKLY REVIEW—CRAWF0RT5SVILLE, INDIANA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER U, 1809.

the representatives of the company an agreement to accept as the basis of their operations the provisions of the bill, or of snch other enactment npon the subject as might be passed daring the approaching session of Congress also to use their influence to secure from the French Government

permit the landing upon French soil of any cable belonging to any company incorporated by the authority of the United States, or of any State in the Union and on their part, not to oppose the establishment of any such eable. In consideration of this agreement, I directed the withdrawal of all opposition by the United States authorities to the landing of the cable and to the working of it until the meeting of Congress. I regret to say there has been no modification made in the company's concession, nor, so far as I can learn, have they attempted to secure one. Their concession excludes the capital and citizens of the United States from competition upon the shores of France. I recommended legislation to protect the rights of citizens of the United States, as well as the dignity and sovereignty of the nation against such an assumption."

The next paragraph is also interesting, as it shows something pretty cute in the way of a widely practiced

CONFIDENCE GAME.I

"The unsettled political condition of other countries, which are less fortunate than our own, sometimes induces their citizens to come to the United States for the sole purpose of becoming naturalized. Having secured this they return to their native country and reside there without disclosing their change of allegiance. TEey^occupy official positions, or positions of trust and honor, which can only be held by citizens of their native land. They journey under passports, describing them as such citizens, and it is only when civil discord, after, perhaps, years of quiet, threatens them, or their persons or property, or when their native States draft them into its military service, that the fact of their change of allegiance is made known. They reside permanently from the United States they contribute nothing to its revenues they avoid the duties of its citizenship, and they only make themselves known by claims of protection. I have directed the Diplomatic and Consular officers of the United States to scrutinize carefully all such claims of protection. The citizens of the United States, whether native or adopted, who'dischargea his duty to his country, is entitled to its complete, protection While I have a voice in the direction of affairs, I shall not consent to infringe the sacred right by conferring it upon ficticious or fraudulent claimants."

this question until the next meeting of Con gress, and it may be advisable to modify taxation and tariff in instances where un ju9t or burdensome discriminations are made by the present laws, but a general revision of the laws regulating this subject, I rcc ommend the postponement of for the pres ent. I also suggest the renewal of the tax

We are uext congratulated ou the increased prosperity of our manufacturing interests, and why in the world should they not prosper, with our ports closed to competetion by the tariff, and nearly all these interests in the hands of rings and monopolies.

John Chinaman and Japanese Tommy are next courted assiduously, and Congress recommended to pay to them most particular attentions.

That he is a reading man we cannot hereafter deny, and that Ben Franklin, next to "Duquesne on the Horse," is his favorite author, we are inclined to admit, after reading tho following, which are extracts, slightly altered, from the philosophy of

POOR RICHARD

'•On

assuming the responsibility of

Chief Magistrate of the LTnited States, it was with the conviction that three things were essential to peace, prosperity and the fullest dcvclopement.

First among these is the strict .integrity in fulfilling all our obligations. Second—So secure protection to thc persons and property of the citizen of our common country, wherever he may choose to move, without reference to origiwil nationality, religion, color or politics,-demanding of him" only obedience to the laws, and proper rcspect for the rights of others.

Third—Union of all the States, with equal rights, indestructible by any unconstitutional means.

What all of the above nice reading

means can easily be gathered when it known that all that is contained in the first great principle is pnying the bondholders off in gold.

He is tired of the Tenure of Office Bill, and begs most piteously that it bo repealed. We trust Congress will grant his prayers.

We are next delighted with the news that our Quaker friends are tryan experiment with the Indians, by which it is hoped they will soon be taught to wear breeches and live like decent folks. If it can be done the Quakers will do i*.

Our army and naval departmuut are in excellent condition, and to such an extent is economy being carried in the navy that steam vessels of war dispense with steam while cruising, and sail the seas with sails spread to catch the wafting breeze.

Postal affairs are not quite so flourishing, since there is a deficiency in that department of over five millions of dollars. Some remedies are suggested among which is the repeal of the franking priviledge, to which we say amen.

After alluding once more to inidequate salaries, he closes this thrilling document with the following

BENEDICTION.

"There are many subjects not alluded to in this message, which might with propriety be introduced, but I abstain, believing your patriotism and statesmanship will suggest the topics and legislation most conducive to the interests of the whole people. On my part, I promise a rigid adherence to the laws and their stirct enforcement."

U. S. GHANT,

On motion of Thomas Elmore Mr. N. W. Grimes was chosen President of the Meeting, and Joseph A. Gilkey Secretary.

The President, in a few brief and pertinent remarks, stated the object of the meeting, nr.- To take measures to prevent, if possible, the setting up of a saloon in our midst.

On motion of J. W. Copner a committee of three was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of tbe sentiments,of the people .iu regard to seli-

iug whisky in our village, whereupon, J. W. Copner, Dr. A. F. Henry and Captain William Marks were appointed said committee. During the absence of the fommittee stirring and enthusiastic speeches were made by Marion Cladfelter, Thomas Elmore, J. P. Lungren. Aimer Willis and

A committee consisting of John Riley, Phillip Sparks and Wesley Rountree was appointed lo confer with Mr. Michaels, and. if possible, persuade him not to inflict upon our community so nefarious a business.

J. W. Copner, Chairman on Resolutions, then made the following report:

WHEREAS, The citizens of Alamo and vicinity have learned with pain and regret that application was made to our County Commissioners by one James Michaels to sell intoxicating liquors in our village, and

WHEREAS, Such an enterprise would be injurious to our town and surrounding country, thereby bringing poverty, wickedness, strife and untold sorrows among us, therefore

Resolved, That we the citizens of A'.amo and Riplej- township, regardless of age, sex or party, enter our solemn and unqualified protest aga'nst the undertaking, and pledge ourselves to use all lawful and honorable means to prevent the same, and to the accomplishment of this end we respectfully solicit, entreat and admonish him to desist, as his business would be fraught with the most terrible results.

Resolved, That we are willing to assist, with our means or patronage, any one in our midst who is unable to gain a livelihood by any legitimate or honorable calling, but will ever discountenance, by all laudable means, any business that to protect it must be especially legislated for.

Resolved, That it is the duty of all good citizens to stand united and show no man countenance, either in trade or special intercourse, who will, in spite of our protest, sell ardent spirits in our midst.

Resolved, That we will withdraw all courtesies common among neighbors from those who shall disregard or set at defiance these resolutions.

Speeches were then made by Messrs. Copner, Marks, Elmore and others in favor of the resolutions, when, on motion, they were unanimously adopted. Mr. Michaels not being in town, the committee appointed to wait upon him could not report, whereupon meeting was adjourned to meet Tuesday evening,

November 23.

Resolved, That we the citizens o* Alamo and vicinity, in mass convention, do hereby proclaim to all persons contemplating the villainous business of selling whisky in our midst, that we will have no intercourse, either directly or indirectly, with any one who will thus disregard our wishes, and that we will do all within our power, consistent with law and order, to make Alamo too hot to hold the man or men who shall at tempt to establish a dram shop in our midst.

Resolved, That to this end we pledge our mutual aid and assistance. Captain Marks then offered a resolution to the same effect, when it and Mr. C-opner's were both adopted with cheers and amens.

It was then ordered that the proceedings and resolutions of the meetings be published in the Crawfordsville JOURNAL and Crawfordsville Review.
