THE MESSAGE.

We have received pamphlet copy az
the Documents transmitted with the
Message. We have not read them with
lie care they deserve. But still we can
give a birds eye view of the Message ::
rescrving one or two points which will
require more particular consideration.
The aurora has classed the topics of
the Message-we adoptit with one or two
exceptions
The sickness of our cities, and drought
M our middle and western states.
2. Tie treaty with Spain and the incidental
affairs
). The revolution of Spanish America.
4. Violations of our neutrality.
5. Certain commercial diplOIHacy with G.
Britain
q. Fiscal affairs.
z. Manufactures.
S. National defence.
9. Destination of naval force.
10. Slave trade.
No. !, presents nothing new, nor cbsks
out any measure, unless perhaps il is
that " the arrangement III The circulating
paper medium, ought to be " left TO those
remedies which its obvious causes sug.
gesied, and the good sense and virtue OF
our fellow citizens supplied" Apply this
conclusion, which some may draw from
the Message, and il means that all nos
trunIs for correcting the currency, trea-
sury notes, restrictions upon state banks,
are idle and unnecessary. Such is the
scheme Of Mr.. PinckDey Of Charleston.
If this gentleman wishes =" 10 increase
ibe quantity of circulating medium" first
let him prove that we have not already
TOO mach OF ii /; next, that we have not
enough OF II, for the sound circulation OF
"ur own country compared with that OF o.
Tiers. Next, how one Inconverlhle me.
diuW like this, will assist III the reduction
Of another paper medium ,hen, whether
Congress ought 10 interfere in any way
al all and finally, whether the mode OF
issuing the bills i'll not TOO much swell
the power of The Unlled States Bank, or
the U. ). government. These are diff
cuIties which stand in the way Of such
expedlenls as this.
No. 2. Is the interesting question Of
Florida, and occupies one halt of The
Message. This exposition is clear, open,
aud explicit. II points 10 The only great
project which IS distinctly involved ~ the
message. The Documents bear ont all The
great facts which are siaiej. Don Onis

FOR TIE ENQUIRER

Frtrdct IF q letter
The ablest pens in Virginia ought 10 he pX-
erted Oh the proposed article OF tho COnsti,n-
ton for Missouri about which our moral ami
religious Yankee brethren are mai imy such n
noise. The most of those who are busyiny them
selves about it arc carried away by sound
they are persuaded that they are opposing
slavery; while the leaders who understand die
subject, know, that slavery or freedom, has
noihing 10 do with the question. Will there
be one slave the more in the United states a
they should be permitted TO be carried from
other states to Missou'ii CorIainl, not unless
II be contended that they will increase faster
in that climate than where they now are
which is next KIN to impossible. 1t well
known that the smaller the number in propor-
ton to the whites among whom they reside.
the better they ate treated; and inst so far as
yon diminish their relative proportion 10 tie
whites IN every state, SO far you lessen the
greatest obstacle TO their emancipation. Our
cunning friends to the north know this well
enough; but they know too, tliat If slavery Is
prohibited in the new states, il will lessen tic
emigration TO them from the Scuib especially
OF the best Informed portion of our 10 pnat,on
with whose talents aud enterprise Yankee
politicians have long felt with bitter veNatious
theif inahihty 10 contend for political aScen-
dancS. They know too, that as the relative.
number OF slaves increases amongst us, we tos,,
me weight OF our population on HE floor of
Congress; three-fifthS only of the sl:,v es being
represented there; and The proportion OF
slaves increases amongst US, we become weak
more dependent ON them Tor help in The Lenr
ot need from which need, the Lord deliver
us; for better help indeed, shouid L expect
from them, IT the danger regarded ourselves
tsoutheIn people) ouly. Motley would be ia
no hurry to help il we may judge from the
terms they apply TO ms, speaking on this
subject. S.sUld we ask then beip they would
say II Is mighty bad rhty are mighty sorr,
they Will come and help lis presently, bat they
must say their prayers first, whirh PRAYERS
would begin ana end (whyn ibe mischief MAS
all over like the Phdrisees with thanking Gnd
thatthey are not as the wicked odiOus southern
men ate.
In short, l cannot see how the dinlnu;ion or
increase Of slavery or lis evils have any Hing
10 DO IN this business except that The measure
has The most evident tendency TO weak Ell and
endanger the present slave holding States
And II certainly is subject of vast importance
as IL regards them; and am much surprised
that more pains have not been taken to set it
III fair light IF the people OF Missouri are
willing To bear part of the burden with rs
who has right TO object?
