CIRCULATION OF THE CITY PRESS. ‘The following is the official showing of the circulation of the daily papers of this city competing for the Government advertising under the recent sct of Congress directing such Sdvertising to be made in the two daily news- pape} ot Washington having the largest THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The message of President Johnson to the House of Representatives, announcing his ap- Proval of the “joint resolution restoring Ten- nessee to her relations to the Union,” which ‘was published in our second edition yester- dsy, should be carefully peruseg by all who Wish to arrive at a clear understanding of the Feal merits of the quest.ons at issue between the Administration and Congress in reference to the admission of the Southern States. Though brief, itis pointed, and contains not only & clear and able review of the past acticn ofthe Government, but a lucid exposition of the present attitude of the Executive and Le- gislative branches of the Government, respec- tively,on the vexed question of restoration. ‘The President takes the broad ground that not ‘Tennessee only but all of the States lately in rebellion were actually restored to their for. mer practical relations to the Union” when this session of Congress commenced, in so far as the Executive a act. and that n remained to be done eXcept the admission into Congress of the Senators and Representatives ofthe excluded States: a matter over which the two Houses have entire control. and which Bis approval or disapproval would not affect. He reminds Congress of the fact that «the amendment to the Constitution abolishing slayery forever within the limits of the coun- try was also submitted to the States, and they ‘were thus invited to, and did participate inits Tatification—thus exercising the highest func- Uons pertaining to a State.’ The admission of Tennessee is we hope only the beginning of the good work. It is at any rate virtually carrying out the policy of the President, who has only asked from the first tbat loyal representatives from the Southern States should be admitted to Congress. Whether the Tennessee Legisiature, did or did not le- gally ratify the amendment to the Constitution the United States proposed by the Thirty. ninth Congress, is an immaterial question in tbis connection. Congress, it seems to us, sbould only inquire whether the members who present themselves for admission from any of the Sourthern States have been properly elect- ed, and are otherwise qualified. ney oir nlerereias areas THE ADMISSION OF TENNESSEE. A calute of one hundred gdns was fired yes- terday b; the friends of the Administration in Washington, in honor of the admission of the ‘Tennessee Senators and Representatives to their seats in Congress.
