of the nation in very mastery manner, and with
all the frankness and simplicity of truh-which
would make known every thing, conceal nothing use

The present plan Of the Executive, to accompa-
ny the Message Of the Chief Magistrate with ample
reports from the great Departments of State, and
the General Post Office is admirably fitted to sub
serve the public intelligence, and, of course to pro-
mote the public interest. To each Department is

me consent to their repeal. He would collect the
,pyeuue for one important object, the protection OF
onr manufactures, and send it back to the people
who paid, for another equally important object the
mproyement of their country.
By adopting this policy. you will prevent measur-

at the same time, the most important national pur-
poses--the permanent Improvement OF the internal
condition of our common country.
There were many other strong considerations IN
favor Of the Adoption of this measure. which 1t was
unnecessary, at this time to urge upon The attention
of the House. Enough had been said, he trusted,
TO show that there was no propriey in adopting this
measure to accelerate the extingushment Of the ma

GOVERNOR SCHULTZE.--lt would appear
rom the suhjoined article from Stephen Simpsons
paper, that Governor Schultzes marked out for sac
iiice by the violent leaders of the jackson party OF
Pennsylvania but they will find themselves most
wofully mistaken in their calculations. The patr-
otc devotion Of thls virtuous and enlightened Chlet
Magistrate to that policy which has distinguished
he steady course Of Pennsylvania for years, has en-
feared him to her citizens by tie which is not to
be broken by the malignant rawlings of such men as
those who have combined to immediate him. The
name of Gov. SCHULTZE will live in the CRATE
nl recolections Of the people of Pennsylvania. when
those who are his revllers will only be remembered
to be despi,pd.
From The Philadelphia Mcrcury. Dec. IS.
"That Mr.. Schultze has been opposed to Jackson,
is matter IF of0riety throughout the state and his
opposition is soamnly recorded, not only in his mes
-age of 1926, bat in that of the present year."
1T resolves itself ln'o the simple question, whc
ther the people ot Pennsylvania have greater re-
gard for Gen Jackson, or for Mr. schutze."
