We beg leave to adopt the following views al

ditor o. the Baltimore Republican-with some &c III
variations:
." hiie we cannot commend this document N
as unmeasured terms we find MIR. Ada,nsi
,iehas 90 we have no disposition to carp at it, Ws
think it the best message that Mr. Adams has evI
er written, but not the best that ever was written
we commend the temper in which Mr. Ad.
ans treats the subject Of our difficulties with the
indian tribes. This part of his Message is iul
strong contrast with some of his former MessaonJ
on ne same subject

"Next, in order, in the Presidents Exposc y
the affairs Of the nation the subject of our trade
with the British Colonies. What Mr.. Adams
says on this subject does seem to us, to be up.
wor'ny OF him. II is an attempt, without even
piausibiiity, to excuse the negligence or the is
noTance, OF himself or Mr.. Clay, in the conduct
OF that matter.
tlt would seem from Mr. AS language that n i
,ote iarift law has formed new Difficulty in ourl
up'ohacy with u Britain.-It may probably bel
necessary Tor Gen. jackson to dispatch formal
commission 10 that power, 70 atcmpta settlement
OF aspuied questions OF trade OIL the most an,icab,t
teFin'. he idea Of terminating the commcrciaH
convention and thus also jeopardzng our East In ].
dia trade, Is not so very palaiable.1
son the subject of the revenue Mr. Adams
says the receipts of the present year have amour
led 10 near 100000 more than was an,icipa,ed.
al the commencement OF the last session OF Con
gress.-Nowithstandng this, however. il seems
that the expenditures Of the present wear bsvs
exceeded lis receipts, by upwards ofa m,Yiou.
and a half! "''''0''
Mr. Adams tells US, Z" that the revenue of the
t"suing year VIII not la short OF that received i
the one now Expiring, here are indications which
can scarcely prove deceptive"
