PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Message Of the President, assigning his
reasons for not giving his sanction to the Mays
vile road is Of such length as To exclude il from
our columns. We therefore give the following
abstract of il.
The message commences with a notice that
he (the Presidency is friendly to the improve.
ment Of our country by means of roads and ca
nails. He then refers to his opening message,
in which he declared that in his vie We. the sur
plus revenue Of the general government ought
10 be apportIoned among the several states, &C.
cording To their representation.
Reference is then made 10 tho manner in
which public works have been or may be un.
dertaken. First: by the general government

ueouiescence Of the people. and the constituted
authorities, in the particular construction OF
that inst rument.
The President does not think that the prac-
tice of the Federal government in aiding WORKS
of a general, not local-of q national, not state
character, affords precedent for the MaysVllie
road appropriation.
\, is often difficult 10 distinguish between
what is national and what entirely local, IN
plan of internal improvement; and a measure
which receives the patronage of the general
government this year, may, by different con
struction, be left without any the next. WINE
the President disapproves of appropriations 10

flor allowing these appropriations.
II is thought that many of thc taxes which
are nov paid, operate very ondously upon the
working classes, who nevertheless bear their
burthens, because they think such taxes are
necessary to the support of government. The
President thinks that the spectacle of Repub
lie in the 54th year of its Evidence, without
debt, is worth sacrifice and besides, in the
best view of the policy which he opposes. he
thinks that the grant only tends to sulft upor

The President expresses an opinion that
without an alteration in the constitution, sucl
"a grant, even if beneficial, would be dangerous
as a precedent. He makes difference be

one in 1792-three in l794-three in 1886
one in '96, and one in 90. Ofthese one was a
defaulier.

two in l795-one in I799--two in 1900. One
Of these was defaulter.

were thirty -nine-in 1909, twenty -two--in 1903
seventeen.
4 In President Madisons Of years, there
were fire removals, Of which, three were de-
lauters
5. In President Nonroe's of years, there
were nine removals. OF these enc was for
dealing in slaves. (Guinea.) two for failures,
one for insanity, one for misconduct, and one

pest. The lightning was one constant flash
rendering every thing visible. The earth
wis covered with n sheet of water. From
the Public Square, all is one undistnguish-
ed mass of ruins. The very foundations OF
many houses were blown up, and scarcely
one stone left upon another. The preser-
vation of lives amid such destruction OF
habitations, seems almost miraculous. Many
found themselves lying OH their floors with
out roof over them or walls around them;
others were extTicatcd by their own exer-
tlons. or that of their friends, from amidst
of rafters, beams, and rubbish. Some were
carried to u distance between masses Of
timber and brick bats. The storm began
to suhside, and the cry Of distress was
heard. People half naked were seen run
ming through the streets to extricate their
friends, or convey them TO Il place of safety.
Mr.. ArnOld's case was very pitiable. In
passing from the store TO the street, the
corner of flying door struck him and tore
out portion of his lungs. He was still
able TO run into the street. where he was
picked up and carried into an unroofed
house and laid upon the floor; thence he
was taken to bed, and lay during that
night and the next day in the greatest ag-
ony, which he hore with remarkable forth
tude, and at length died, giving his friends
the most consolitory evidence Of his un-
shaken and triumphant faith.
The damage is variously estimated, from
fifty to hundred thousand dollars. Some
have lost their all, and are without houses,

the nomination of the high functionares who
are to preside over the republic, think it prop

should be assured that the good of my country
requires of me the sacrifice of separating my
self for ever from the country which gave me
life, in order that my remaining in Colombia
may not be an impeachment to the happiness of

TO me : next she would allege my re election as
obstacle to reconciliation, and finally the Re-
public would be subject either to dismember-
ment. a civil war. The considerations which
submitted to Congress the day Of its in
stallation combined with many others, should
all concur to persuade Congress that its most
imperious obligation is TO give to the people of
Colombia new magistrates possessed ofthe EN-

VILLANY REWARDED. On Sunday night
last, between ii and IL o'clock, as Mr.. P.
was returning to his residence few miles
from the city in his gig, he was stopped by
two fellows on the road, who waited his com
ing up, near the Bloomingdale Church, when
they seized his horse by the reins, on each
side, making demand of the gentleman,
not distinctly heard by two spectators
who witnessed the proceedings. The
gentleman, apparently in acquiescence to
their wishes, descended from his gig, step
ped to one of the fellows, and with one de-
liberate blow of his-whip felled him to tho
ground, walking round to the other and re-
peated the operation with complete success.
Remounting his seat, he drove on quite
leisurely, leaving the footpads in quiet pos
session of the spot where he had so hand
somely deposited them. Two young men
were witness of the scene, and would have
rendered assistance if it had been necessa-

years from holding any civil office. The Daily

city, on Monday night, June 81, at 9 O'Clock,
it was discovered that it had been cut open
and tho contents were missing. A prompt,
vigorous, and ultimately successful search, un-
der the direction Of the post master, was imme-
diately commenced, which resulted in the re-
covery of the lost mail and in the arrest of
person, who had been previously suspected of
robhing the western mail last week, and who
proved to be the robber.
Five passengers came through from Troy.
Mr., Lothrop Of Sandy Hill, was one of them,
who, when hearing of the robbery. suspected
one of the two passengers on the back seat,
who pretended to be asleep. From Mr.. LIS

said Rogers, secured the windows and doors of
her dwelling, and took tho key with her. RoR-

Rogers soon called for the avails of the sale,

came home, for they would make a great fuss
about it. The auctioneer observed that he had
collected about $50, which he might have, and
the remainder as soon as collected. Rogers
concluded to wait for the balance, during which
Mrs. r. returned home and gave information,
and Rogers was taken up and committedto
