INC PRESIDENTS Message excites much specula-
"on On the Tariff and Internal Improvements, his
views are ookeu Tor with deep Understanding as
'h'y must, the future fate Of those measures and his
0~H Numor announces that the Message will take
ground IN opposition both TO the and the her.
ard so The political lie Of him who signs il, closes
'r'cv'cobly, onthe Sd March 1883. Whatever our
own wishes and opinions may be the Tariff and
Internal mprovements-whatever those of Others
may bet is impossible for any to doubt that
vast majority fhe people Of these States is ndsso.
lob'y welded to both the one and the other New
Hampshire indeed, under the accidental influence Of
TWO or three m"n-Maine pinch-d b. certain provs-
ions OF tic TariE-and the Albany Regency, ma
noenvreng 10 compass Mr.. Van Bureus election TO The,
Presidency tbrnagh the favor of Virginia-thcse por
to's OF the Union thus casually and tempora rily
swayed, present show of resist to the Tariff
and Internal improvements. But il is a ,ho,o merely
which will disappear the the fate of those
measures of Policy is found seriously compromised
Whenever that shall appear, and the people have
time to be heard the Tariff and Internal Improve
men's will receive consolidated support from Maine
10 Virginia, and the Tennessee line Virpinia
North Corolina. South Caro'ins. Georgia Tonnes
see, Alabama and Mississippi, WILL in he final s,rur-
gle, find themselves without succor from East, Mid
die, or Western States. unless perchance from Ger
tain commercial Districts.
Is not this certainly so Is not this state of pon,
lar feeling known to the President and his Cabne,
And will they take ground to- offend and alisnatc
largo majority of the people of the u. States,
The Message WI arrive IN few honrs md :,
would b. rath to spccu'ate bu, for our own mar, ~.
have belief that the President will take INV suc,
decisive course. On the subject of Improveman,.
he has got his mead in'o the gpurl and NAV find i
moro convenient to let it stay there, than TO draw il
out Interpreted As the Veto has been Interpreted
mot perhaps as he expected it to be) lie may find him
self so deeply committed against the system as Ia
Judge 1t more polite to the assistance of ,hose
whom the Veto pleased hun by farther rempors;n, on
the subject, ALLEVIATE their affections without RETRIEVING
the affections of those whom the Veto offended. nj
this should be the case-'f the Preyident take the
field without reserve, against Internal Improvements
mark, If he do not try the balapcinn svs,en,
and lie friends of Improvement and the Tariff are
the first by increased testimonials of renard for tho
last. Our remarks predicatcd upon the persua
son. that Andrew Jackson has little to DO with the
Message which he signs, bu, does not wri,e--and
that the efficient head Of the government is now
always has been and will be, regulated entrelu
by circumstances Of promised advantage or disadvon
tagc, of loss or gain. TO himself. The frat oreo,
object Of the sublime Administration which no,v r,ss
Ms was to re establish lady in the priyeoe.
and inmunitics of the polite world at Waslinpton-
tho second is TO hand down the successon 10 Martin
Van Durenand this is the consideration which ~ il,
naturally Influence AR Van Buren, in shaping and
oharactesisng the several propositions Of the Mes
sage.
We shall hear no doubt great cxul,o,ion n, ,h,
recovery Of the West India Trado--ond perh,n ne
occasion TO observe shyncss IN communicating The
means which resorted to, to attain those terms
rejected by the last Administration as incom
with the honour and dignity Of the American peopls
Not the leas curious part of the Mesa pe NAV he
expected to be villa, the President shall say of the
Russian Embassy and the Russian Amba ssador
