A PUKSIIJEHT H MKSSAOK.
We arc indebted to the New York Her
ald for the following message of the Presi
dent of New Granada, delivered the 1st of
last April. It is lull of judicious recommen
dations and breathes a nobly progressive and
tolerant spirit: We commend it to the spe
cial attention of the reader,
IuUreitliK from Stw Oraudt.
TIIE PRESIDENT OF THE ItEPUIILIC TO THE
GIIANADIANS.
Fellow Citizens,?On assuming the
arduous duties of the oflice of President ol
the republic, 1 have judged it proper that 1
should explain to you the principles which
will form tlii guiding ones of my administra
tion. In every republican country, it is
highly necessary that those who are govern
ed should know what are the rules of con
duct which will be followed by those who
govern them.
' Ever faithful to those principles which tri
umphed in the electoral ballot-box, on the
7th of March last, you will find that I shall
labor to support them, because the will ol
the popular majority is the one that is to be
displayed in all the acts and measures of the
government. 1 am fully convinced that all
the political convulsions that have atllicted
our country, as well as all the Spanish Ame
rican States, have been owing to the disre
gard which their rulers have shown to the
popular will, and striving to become teach
ers where they ought only to be the willing
agents of the views of the majority. I shall
not follow such examples: but you will lind
me ready to yield respectfully to the ex
pressed opinion ami voice of the majorities
in the House of Representatives?the legal
exponents of the national voice. Thus,
New Granada will have the representative
system in all truth, and the government will
be of the people and for the people.
With these views, i shall unite cordially
with the Houses, to procure a reform in the
constitution, so that the entire governmental
structure shall be a faithful expression of the
principles of equality and republican rule.
The constitution ought to preserve in all
their purity the grand principles of equality,
liberty, and toleration, those most precious
fruits of modern civilization ; and thus it will
contain within itself the germs of all improve
ments that can in the course of time be. de
developed. The only method by which a
people can give stability to their institutions,
is to lend a ready aid to the progressive de
velopement of their prosperity and to those
varied and new exigencies which become
necessary. The virgin regions of America
are the ones destined by Providence to offei
to the human race the most complete solu
tion of that problem of governing, viz: rul
ing all for the benefit of all. 1 am, (i>r the
good of my country, ambitious to do my part,
and that most fervently, to bring about such
a magnificent result. Public education,
which is the imperishable basis upon which
all our institutions ought to rest, will be the
object ol my greatest solicitude and especial
study. 1 believe that instruction ought to
be free ; but I also believe that the govern
ment ought to supervise it in its course, and
assist it in the manner which increasing so
cial necessities may require. In every re
publican government, wliere men are called
to an active participation in the discussion of
political affairs, it is not only the duty of the
government to procure for them the means
of general instruction, and assist the youth
in the cultivation of the sciences, but it ought
carefully to watch over the developement ol
this same instruction, in order that this wall
of strength for the people shall not be dis
torted into a disturbing or distracting influ
ence ; and this duty is the more required in
those countries which have but recently
emerged from under the retrograde dominion
of the Spanish monarchy, which dominion
lias left deep traces, that it has been impos
sible as yet thoroughly to eradicate. In iny
opinion, then, the work of public education
ought only to be confided to citizens who are
identified with the institutions and the pro
gress of civilization.
The religion ol our fathers, which is plso
that of the immense majority of Gianadian.*;,
claims and will have my greatest respect and
veneration ; but, being convinced that it will
not appear in all its purity, or completely ful
fil its august mission, under those odious
chains with which the tyranny of some mon
arch* has bound it to their thrones, I shall
use my endeavors to restore it to its neces
sary independence, in order that it may shine
with its full splendor, and ditluse itself under
the auspices of its scanctity and excellence.
In carrying out the.-e views, religiously and
democratically, I shall also lespect all creeds
and all forms of worship, because such is not
only in conformity to the laws of the repub
lic, but for its happiness and advantage.
Liberty, security, would be vain and idle
words, if the tribunals of justice were not re
ligiously _ and punctually to adminjster the
laws. Nothing, in my opinion, is so urgent
for the republic, as the bettering of what is
termed the administration of justice. The
poorer classes ol society sutler immensely
from the present condition of this branch of
public administration, and I promise, that in
as far as depends upon the action of the ex
ecutive power, every thing shall be done that
is possible for the introduction of radical and
lasting reforms.
The press, that institution which is so in
dispensable for the progress of reason, and
the practical working of the representative
system, shall lie most scrupulously respected
by me. as the. chief rmgistrnte of the nation.
As to the abuse which is liable to be made
ot it, 1 believe that the antidote to that is to
be found in the use of the press itself; and
that, consequently, in no case ought it to be
muzzled, under the pretext ol maintaining it
within its proper limits. The press ought to
be allowed a field of action as vast as that of
thought itself. It ought only to l>e restrained
when, by attacking private life, it is con
verted into a means of defamation.
Strong in the popular suffrages, in the rec
titude of my intentions, in the sincere and
disinterested love which impels me in favor
of the dearest interests of my country, and
the intelligent aid and approval of all pooil I
citizens, ) indulge the hope of preserving the
public peace a..J the obwrvance ol the laws,
without any necessity lor the ma.ntenance of
any great permanent lorce As long as th<
government is the work ol the populat will,
ami it is disposed to govern with public
opinion, there can be no iecekity for sup
porting an expensive body of armed men
There will be merely maintained what is ne
cessary for the protection and security ol the
coast, and the repressal of delinquents ; ami
this force only until the perfect organization of
a national guard has been eflecttd, for which
organization 1 shall labor assiduously.
Hut not on this account are the considera
tions due from the nation to those brave men
who have served faithlully and heroically in
times past to secure her independence, to he
overlooked. These debts ol national grati
tude shall never be denied by me in the cx- |
ercise of my power.
In the direction of the public treasures you
mav rest assured, fellow-citizens, that wi
preside with the most scrupulous cure, ami
that every economy compatible wi i goo'
service, shall be practised, that the l,r*lu^
of the revenues, &c. shall never be diverted
from the courses to which the lcS,sla'"r?
may order them to be applied, and hat in
everything dependent on my authority, the
li,cal system shall show the lively interest
the administration takes to alleviate the in
dustrious and poorer portions of the nation
from those drawbacks and difficulties which
might retard the increase ol their store.
shall sustain the liberty of industry, but I
shall endeavor to prevent this same liberty
from being con veiled into an oppressive and
destructive inequality which so often attends
on the accumulation of riches. 1 ropcrtv is
the first element of prosperity and comlort
? I,all be faithfully respected.
The sacred rights of our creditors, both
home and foreign, shall be attended to, as
far as the resources of the public tieasurv
and the subsistence of the government will
permit. 1 shall occupy myselt in this.impor
tant aflair, not only under the view that cre
dit is an element of power, of glory, and
grandeur, but, a'so, that it is an obligation
which conscience and fidelity call oil us
strictly to fulfil.
Desirous to satisfy the increasing hopes
and necessities of the country. I shall omit
no measure calculated to promote an 1 bring
to a termination all those public works which
can contribute to facilitate her commerce and
develops her industry. Consequently, roads
and means ol communication?which 1 con
sider not only as elements ol riches, but as
means ol civilization and good government
shall receive from my authority every impulse
compatible with the. resources ?t our com
mand. On this point, 1 am confident that
1 shall leave nothing to le desired by the
most ardent apostles of human progress ?
The isthmus of Panama has commenced that
majestic career which its happy geographical
position has entitled it to expect. Be assu
red that this important part ol our republic
shall receive liberally all the aid its prosperity
demands. Its immense importance and rapid
developement shall not be confined by a
timorous or penurious policy.
Resolved to maintain, with energy and
decision, the independence and dignity ol
the republic in its relations with the other
nations of the. world, I shall observe towards
them all such good faith, frankness and cor
diality, as leads me to hope that, doing jus
tice to the sincerity of these sentiments,
New Granada may, during the period ol my
administration,count on the permanent main
tenance of its friendly international rela
tions. ,
Identified as my administration is witu
the principles which direct the governments
of Venezuela and the Ecuador, 1 entertain
the firmest hope that far from disturbing our
relations, each succeeding day will find them
more strengthened for the prosperity of the
three States, and the definitive and irrevoca
ble establishment of the democratic form of
government in the territory oyer which waves
the glorious flag ol Columbia.

H l, A V E KACTOll Y LABOR.
We are disposed to think, with the Phila
rlphia North American, that the whole
question ol elevating slave labor to make it
capable for factory employment, turns upon
the point, whether it is compatible with the
interests of slave owners to give their slaves
so much education as to produce this result.
One of lite moil interesting questions ?nnccl"]
with tlic establishment, at the south of mills for I ho
manufacture of cbtton, is the capacity of ti c negro
slaves for this sort of labor. It la of the highest Im
portance to the south, lhat this capacity shoulId be
favorably demonstrated, but the general belief is to
the (ontrary, and in most instances the negroes have
filled a position subordinate to that of a regular fac
tory operative, while white laborers have been
-,ui'hl and obtained at the north, rhe causes of
l( parity alledgcd against negroes arc their extreme
indolence, carelessneaa and uttar want or Ingenuity
?qualities utterly at war with the regular, safe and
profitable management, of machinerysocompl..
and delicate as that for making cot.on cloth.
A letter from the superintendent of ?tic Saluda
factory published in the Charleston Mercury as
sorts that the negroes are both capable and prompt,
and may by instruction be made os good and efh
cr.nt opira.ive. as whites, and the reasons why ne
groes at the south arc not apparently capable, an
*'Y know' verjTwell thai, in the selection of hands
for the mills at the north, praference is always given
,o those who have enjoyed the advantagesof Inteh
Icclual cull lire, ihe entire want of whicn would be
considered almost sufficient to d sqim fy lhe Ojj
pUcant for any service In the mill. Butinataen
riency in the white population of Massachusetts Is
?in index lo a very dincreni stole of things from
that which the same deficiency denotes in the
1,lacks of South Carolina.
In the former State there Is a school brought
within reach of every man a door, and he la per
mitted nny entreated, to send his children to aenool
and have tViem educated ? without money and with
out priee." If, therefore, such opportunities are a -
lowed to pass unimproved, it la not difficult to di
vine in what habits such persona must have been
drilled. The name deficiency, intentionally univer
sal among the blacks, beara no such evidence of in
dolene, and recklessness of TnluaWo wquWlio^

St. Louis, May 27.
.Senator Benton has recently made a speech at
Jellerson City, the first part of which has been pub
lished. A large portion of it Is devoted lo Mr. Cal
noun and his inconsistency, particularly in connec
tion with the slavery question. He expresses him
self with his acciiHtomed boldness and clearness, de
claring that it is absurd to deny to Congress the
right to legislate as it plinseo upon the subject of
slavery in the territories, Congress has never exer
cised this power form the foundation of the govern
ment to the present time, and this with the sanction
and approval of all tho unthoritien, both State and
federal.
No citizen of any State can carry any property
derived from a law of that State, an inch beyond the
boundary line against consent. Slave property, for
this reason, cannot be removed lo California or New
Mexico, nor ran any legal establishment of slavery
be looked for in either territory. The only ellect of
carrying slaves there would be to give them ihelr
liberty, the people of both territories being unani
mously opposed to ifh introduction.
The late Missouri resolutions were copicd from
those of Mr. Calhoun in the Senate of the United
States, In 1R47. To know their design, it must be
j known that*they were aimed at the harmony and sta

slaveholding Slates, (himself, Mr. Benton, particu

Wtion woman's eye grown dull,
And her ctouk palcth ;
When (adenine beautiful,
Then inun's love failoth; - j.
He fiits not beside her chair*-4
Clasps not her fingvrs, S,
Twines not the damp hair
That o'er her brow lingers.
He comes but a moment in,
Though her ?*ye lightens.
Though her cheek, pale and thin,
Feverishly brighten*;
He stays but a moment near,
When thai flush fadeth,
Though true affection's tear
Her soft eyelid shadeth.
He goes from her chamber straight
Into life's jostle,
He meets ut the very gate,
Business and bustle,
Hi: thinks not of her within,
i' 11; 1111 y sighing,
11m forgets in that noisy din
That she ia dying ?
Arid when the young heart is slid,
What though he mourneth,
Soon from his sorrow chill,
Wearied he turneth.
Soon o'er her buried head,
Memory's light sctteth,
Ami the true-hearted dead,
Thus man forgetteth!
WOMAN'S LOVU.
IIY TUB L'AMK.
When man is waxing frail,
And his lund is thin and weak,
And his lips are parched and puli*,
And wan and white his cheek ;
Oh, then doth woman prove
ller constancy and love!
She sitteth by his chair,
And holds his feeble hand,
8h? w.iteh'.th ever there,
His wants to understand;
His yet unspoken will
.She husteneth to fulfil.
She leads him, when the noon
Is bright, o'er dale or hill,
And all things, save the tune
Of the honey bees, are still,
Into the garden bowers,
To sit 'nudst herbs and flowers.
And when he goes not there,
To feast on breath and bloom,
She brings the posy rare,
Into Ins darkened room ;
And 'neath his weary head,
The pillow smooth doth spread.
Until tho hour when death
His lamp of life doth dim,
She never wearjeth.
She never leavotn him :
Still near him night and day
She meets his eye aiway.
And when his trial's o'er,
And his turf is on his breast,
Deep in her bosom's core.
Lie sorrows unexprest;
Her tears, her sighs, are weak,
Her settled grief to speak.
And though there may arise,
Balm for her spirit's pain,
And though her quiet eyes,
May sometimes smile again ;
Still, still, silo must regret,
She never ean forget!
