! We should like to have private note from a
friend in Washington who wrote US on the 7th
instant.
! II PrOphet!-Bef0re the appearance of the
Presidents Message, the Richmond Wing spoke
as follows:
8. On the subject Of Improvements, he has got
his head into the gourd, and may find it more
convenient to let it stay there, than to draw it
out. Interpreted as the Veto has been interpret
ed-(not perhaps as he expected it to be)-he may
find himself so deeply committed against the
system, as to judge it more polite to secure the
assistance of those whom the Veto pleased, than,
BY farther temporising on the subject, ALLEVIATE
their affections, without retrieving the affections
of those whom the Veto offended If this should
be the case-if the President take the field with
our reserve, against Internal improvements
mark. 1t he DO not try the balancing system: and
as The friends of Improvement and Tariff are
mostly the same propltia,e offence for his oppos-
ing the first. by increased testimonials of regard
for the last."
The Message completely sustains the predc-
ton of the Wing, The - balancing" system is
attempted to be kept up nicely.
