WASHINGTON, Nov. !, ls4o
Meeting Of Congress-Co Contests Of As Presidents


Message.


AS the great epoch-that epoch to which all
eyes are directed, in the results Of which every
inhabitant OF this Republic, from Canada to our
Southern extreme, from Rockaway to Fort Van
couver, is directly lnterestei-as this great epoch
of the reassembling Of the Federal Congress Of the
United States approxmates, the plan of operations
that will be laid down by the Executive, and the
probable action of Congress upon its details, begin
to assume, like ships looming in frvn the horizon,
something OF palpable outline-something more de-
finltlve than mere conjecture.


From various sources, then, we gather that =
The President after detailing the Oregon Difficult
ties and the expedlents to the settlement Of this
question, such as postponement compromise, arbi-
Conventions Of 1917 and "a, will stand out for the
abrogation OF said Conventions of Joint occupancy,
the exclusive jurisdiction and occupation OF the
country, submitting, however, In saving clause,
the whole matter to the discretion of Congress.


That he will recommend revenue tariff, the de-
structlon Of the " "mnmums' and specific duties"
OF the act OF AZ, without nvidious alllDion spec
fcatlon OF cold IRON, sad irons, trace chains, log



That he will congratulate US on the Texas annexa-
ton-dwell upon our difficulties with Mexico, de-
fine the reasons OF his official action in the premises,
and suggest to the attention OF Congress the mag
nanimous alternative of proposals to Mexico to
peaceful adjustment of our quarrel through express
/ negotiations with that view.
That he will recommend liberal appropriations to
the Western waters, leaving the question of log
rolling between the east and the west to be decided
by the House but vetoing, very likely any general
bill which will include any river utltin State OF
less than thousand miles long


That he will refer Congress to the Report OF the
Postmaster General, and that the Postmaster Gene
raj will report against cheap postages.


That he will incidentally introduce the subject OF
the important International difficulties existing in
the West Indies and some of the South American
military despotsms


That he will be lengthy on the currency question,
and suggest the Sub-Tressury with such moditica-
tious as the wisdom of Congress may be pleased to
adopt.


That he will recommend reorganization OF the
Military Academy at West Point


That he will also suggest reforms in the Army and
Navy, with view OF improving their efficiency
and diminishing their expense. And SO on.
