BY the steamboat Boston, which arriv-
ed this morning from New York, I'VE have
received the Commercial Advertiser Of
last evening, containing the incipient
proceedings of Congress, and the Presi-
dents Message TO both Houses. In the
Senate, on the 9th ballot, Judge White,
Of Tennessee, was elected President pro
tenn, and Messrs. Grundy aud Frelng
hnysen were appointed committee to
wait on the President of the u. S. and
inform him that they were ready to pro-
ceed to business In the House, one
hundred and sixty five members were
pre- Int, and Messrs. Speight and II. NJ.
johnson were appointed to unite with the
committee of the Senate.
We have room only for the following
paragraphs from the Presidents Mes
sage, on the all absorbing subjects Of the
Tariff and Notification. 1t will be seen
that after all his professions Of friendship
for the protective policy, he goes the
whole length Of its most inveterate cne-
mics, and recommends an entire prostra-
ton of every part of the system. The
conduct of the Nullifiers is lightly touch
ed upon, and notice is promised to Con-
gress, should the execution Of the laws
be seriously interfered with. Our limits
will not allow us to 60 into any detail Of
the message at present, further than TO
say that the revenue of the year from
customs and public lands, is estimated at
Thirty millions of dollars that the Pres
!, ident recommends an entire relinquish-
ment of those lands to the individual
States; and that lie reitcrates his old and
! absurd attack on the Bank Of the u United
States.
/ The message will occupy from sew
en- TO nine columns of this paper.
EXTRACT FROM THE MESSAGE.
"Long s. patient atte ntion has strength
enedthc opinions have heretofore cx-
pressed to Congress on this subject; and
| deem il my duty on the present occa-
sion, again to urge them upon the atten-
tion of the Legislature. The soundes,
maxims Of public policy and the princi
pies upon which our republican institu.
tons are founded, recommend proper
adaptation of the revenue TO the cxpen
diture, and they also require that the cX
penditure shall be limited to what, by al
economical administration, shall be con
sistent with the simplicity OF the Govern
ment, and necessary to an efficient pub
lie service. In eGectipg this ad ustment
it is due in justice TO the interests Of th'
different States, and even to the preser
walton of the Union itself, :hat the pro
lection afforded by existing laws to any
branches Of the national industry, shoul'
not exceed what may he necessary t.
a counteract the regulations Of foreign Tia
tions, and 10 secure a supply Of those al
ticles Of manufacture, essential 10 the ma
tional independence and safety in tim
Of war. If upon investigation, it shall b
found, as it is believed it will be, that tn
, Legislative protection granted to an
particular interest is greater than is in
dispcnsably requisite for those objects,
recommend that Il be gradually diminish
= ed, and that as far as may be consster
with these objects, the whole scheme G
duties be reduced to the revenue stand

That manufactures adequate to tn
supply of our domestic consumption
would, in the abstract, be beneficial t
our country there is no reason to doubt
and TO effect their establishment, there
perhaps, no American citizen who woul
not for while, be willing to pay highe
! price for them. But for thIs purpose, it
f presumed that a Tariff Of high dutres, dc
signed for perpetual protection has cnte'
+, ed into the minds of but few of our states
men. The most they have anticipated
u temporary and generally incident1
protection, which they maintain has tn
. effect to reduce the price by domesti
competition below that of the foreign ar
ticle. Experience however, our bcs
guide on this, as on other subjects, max e
it doubtful whether the advantages {
this system are not counterbalanced b.
many evils, and whether it does not ten
to begct in the minds Of a large PORTO
of our countrymen spirit Of disconter
