impartial render of the message i will tin i in it not much to condemn but many things to approve the general i tone is that of a calm and dispassionate stai paper although slightly tinctured 1 with the constitutional ordor ofthe slump in some passages the most remarkable thing ab ml it however is that after having by facts and arguments thorough-1 i v demolished the sunt hern negro su premacy policy of congress mr john j son has nothing definite to recommend in its place this we apprehend means that the split between president and1 congress offers no diplomatic halfsway j bouse of rest and that therefore nothing in the way of relief need be expected for the south until the people shall have established at washington a new presi dent aud a new congress from the coinmercul adrerliarr ]
