i j mm THE DAILY PKESS. PORTLAND MAINE

Wednesday Morning, December 3,1*62. __ The Portland Daily Press has the largest regular circulation of any daily paper in the city. _ The President's Message. It is to be expected, in the hasty transmis sion by telegraph of so long a document as the Message, especially when it has to be re written at one or more stations, that with all the care that can be bestowed upon it, more or less errors will creep in, sometimes obscuring and throwing doubt upon its author's exact meaning. It Is so in the present instance, al though a careful reader will be able to satisfy himself in nearly all cases, and to comprehend fully the meaning of the President. Still, so long as there are some ambiguous passages, or passages not entirely free from obscurity, in which the change of a single word—perhaps the transposition of a punctuation mark will give an entirely different construction, we do not feel like entering upon any critical analysis of this very able and very important State pai>er. A few days will bring copies put in type from an authorized version. We do not expect to see the Message vio lently assailed by men of any party, on any point except that which treats of emancipa tion. On questions of Foreign Relations, Pa cific Railroad, Agriculture, Ac., there will lie little if any dissenting. On the President’s financial view's theorists may differ, and some will file exceptions, but the candid, practical thinkers will generally come texthe conclusion that the views he presents rest upon a substan tial basis, that they are felicitously free from all visionary and impracticable financial cob webs, and that they are worthy the serious at lion OI U1C UCBt liuauuat ihhius v* J The emancipation portion of the Message— which is in fact, the leading part in this impor tant doeumeut—is not well calculated to ex actly suit extreme meu, men of theoretically radical views, of any stripe; but that great middle class, which is disposed to take a prac tical view ol things, and to see little attraction in theories that promise no satisfactory prac tical results, will be disposed to accept the views of the President, and to regard them with a large degree of favor. The President distinctly announces that nothing contained in the Message is in conflict with the Proclamation of Emancipation to the slaves jn rebel States, which will be issued on tbe first of January. He says, too, that it would be wrong to remand to slavery any slave who shall become free by the chances of war. He scouts and refutes the idea that emancipation, even if immediate, would over run the North, and crowd free white laiiorers from their employment. He 1$ square-edged that slavery has begotten the rebellion, that it furnishes the only element of disunion in our country, that its abrogation would consol idate us forever, and that, such being tbe fact, compensated emancipation will achieve a bloodless revolution, and through it our free Institutions may be saved, our Union ®ain tained. and rebellion forever averted, vastly cheaper than these things can be done with the sword alone, while the cause of all our discords and dangers remains untouched—un scathed. We commend the Message to|a care ful reading. Anniversary of the St. Andrew Society. The St. Andrew Society, a benevolent and charitable association composed of Scotchmen or those of Scotch descent, the object of which, primarily, is to aid those of their countrymen who shall be in a destitute circumstances, or who, newly arrived, shall stand in need of sym pathy and council, celebrated its Anulvasary on Monday evening, at the Freeman House, where a bountiful supper had been prepared by the generous provider and accomplished caterer for that establishment, Mr. Geo. S. Hay. The supper was got up in the best style of the gastronomic art, and consisted of all the usual substantial and luxuries of the season. The two long tables were richly decorated with elegant boquets of flowers, freshly cut from the conservatories of the city and neighbor hood, arranged, generally, in the form of St. Andrew's cross, the base of which, as it appa rently sprang from the earth, was surrounded by genuine specimens of the Scotch thistle. At a little past 8 o'clock a goodly number of tbe sons and daughters of Scotia filed around the tables, presided over by tbe Presidents and Vice Presidents of the Society, the Divine blessing was fervently invoked by tbe Chaplain, Rev. Alexander Burgess, of St. Luke's Church, and the company fell to and discussed the viands with a relish that was decided edly complimentary to the generous provider. After return of thunks by Kev. Mr. Tu^ker man, the city missionary, the more iutell _.ual portion of the banquet commenced, and this consisted of sentiments, songs, and speeches’ from several gentlemen present, to which we have neither time nor space to do full justice. The President, Mr. McEvau, presided with grace and infinite humor, and before an nouncing the first sentiment gave a succinct statement of the origin arid objects of the so ciety, and its mission for good. The anniversary is always held on St. An drew’s Day—St. Andrew being regarded as tbe patron saint of Scotland. The sentiments were as follows: 1. The Day. and all who honor it. Responded to bV a Gaelic song from Mr. Morrison, and which the President kindly hoped was understood aud appreciated by all present. Rev. Mr. Burgess suggested whether it would not be appropriate to repent the song; and related that some tweuty years ago he was in Scotland, and stopping over the Sabbath in a certain place, as in duty bound, he and his friend attended church, the services and ser mon being in Gaelic, not a word of which he could understand. The sermon was by no means faulty for its brevity, for the good par son was obliged to reverse his hour glass at least twice during its delivery. At the close, fastening his eye upon the two outsid ers, the preacher remarked that it was a cus tom with them having the force of law, if two persons were present who did not understand Gaelic, to repeat the sermon in English for their benefit; but, as the communion was to be celebrated some fifteen 'miles distant, he would omit the custom with the assent of the strangers. Of course assent was not refused. 2. The Queen of England. ‘‘God save the Quean," by Mr. Ward, the company joining in the chorus. 3. The President of the United States. The President sang the national air, ".Star Spangled Banner,” aud called upon J. T. Gil man of the Daily Press, to respond to the senti ment. M r. G. spoke briefly,referring to t he terri ble weight of responsibility devolving upon our President, aud the firmness and integrity with which he was meeting those responsibilities, aud the promptness of all loyal men to sus tain him in the discharge of his many duties. He also complimented the liberty-loving [am ple of the British Islands,aud believed that in their heart of hearts the people of Scotland, England, and Ireland were with us in the ■i wmmmmammmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrnmmammmmm great struggle through which wc are now pass ing. 4. Th.' City of Portland. The President said that during the last sea son lie had visited his native Scotch hills, mix ing freely with the common people, and while he did not hear a single individual speak in other than the most friendly and sympathetic terms of our loyal people and our government, he never failed to impress them with the idea that, on all the face ot the earth, the city of Portland was one of the most lovely spots. Joshua Dunn, Esq., responded in very ap propriate terms, and was applauded in the i most generous manner. A song was also sung I hr Mr. Ward. 6. Si6ter Societies. Song—“Roy's Wife,” by Mr. Miller, Treas urer of the Society, in the chorus of which the company joined. The President stated that there was one marked feature in Portland which distinguish es the city from all other places of equal size, in which he had ever become acquainted, aud j that is the almost total absence of street begging. He attributed this In a large meas ure to the well organized benevolence of the city, which slid not fail to seek out and min ster to the needy, but by its peculiar plan of operations was very discouraging to imposters j w ho resort to the street., and are never mod- est in pressing their claims upon the eliarita- hie. Rev. Mr. Tuekerman responded, and par- j ticularly in behalf of the Portland Provident Association. He said that, as the result of I long and careful observation, he was convinc ed that nine-tenths of all the street-begging— ot which there is little in the city—washy the undeserving; and he cautioned all who heard him to Ire careful how they listened to the tales of such persons without first investiga ting the case. Give them a card of introduc tion to him, ami. as the agent of the Provi dent Association, lie would engage to look into their cases, and see that they were properly i provided for,—from charitable funds if des j erving: if otherwise, through the legally pro Yideu channels. -Mr. l. gave instances ot the artfulness and cunning practiced by profess ional beggars to accomplish their ends; arts and deceptions never practiced by the truly I deserving. 6. The Toels of Scot land and America. The President said that it was customary in connection with this sentiment, to speak of Scotland’s poets. He would not dwell upon Burns, Campbell and others, whose names were world-wide, but lie would pass in review a few of the minor poets, of which every town j had more or less, and wiiose number was I numberless. He then ran over the list, and for ten minutes kept the company in infinite good humor by his quotations, anecdotes, e from Harwood Hospital, Wash ington, to Portsmouth Grove Hospital, R. I., to w it.: Martin W. Styles, Co. K, 10th regi- meat; John A. Sibley, A, 16th; Fred. A. How ard, A, loth; Wm. II. Eister, C, lUth; Edwin Morgan, F.
