TuE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

w. were enabled, by the politeness Of Mr.. Smith,
Al, contractor on the Washington route,) to
,...eu, the Message of the President to cur
l..s,ast Thursday IN an extra sheet, having ,e-
,..d i, nearly two days in an,ici patton of he
ii We insert it this morning, in our paper,
Il ,s a matter of convenience, and because the
,vt,a sheet may not have reached some oi our sub
serbers.
On the whole. we are better pleased with this
Message ,han with any which has preceded it
from ,he same source. II is, for the mos, rari,
,a;n business like document free alike from effort
II rhetorical ornament, and from those ad cagtal-
dunn rulgns arguments, which disfsure most of
the productions bearing the same signature 1t
breathes too, a spirit of devotion to the onion and
panii1s,s so much anxiety 10 restrain the federal
government within It's eonsitntionally prescribed
path, as the sasGst means of a.iayla the dis.on
tul ofthe States, AMI cerlsntns more elosoy the
bonds o. 9aaiedefacY, that we are disposed TO
re.rs as cnioi faults those features of the paper
in which We find something TO disapproye aud con-
denim We have not room for laborcd review e
the Message, and shall therefore conine our re
marks, for the piesent. 70 few O. its prominent
points.

peetsd to SCI the whole question Discus ed, and the
paesijento determinations IN certain looked for CON
lngenaies, LnneuuceJ. The President, Row ever,
has adopted y hat think tie tser plan, OF hare-
Iyatudins 10 the troubles in That quarter, with tie
expression Of hope that the execution Of The laws
will not be loebly olsirnrrc and Of his intention
if they should BE- ttsn talay his views ofthe course
wlIeh Il behooycs the federal government to about,
fully bof,rc Congress. II was prudent not to say
an ding which might by possibility, be construed
lu.aa d.tcat aeeinst the South Carolina ordnance
,ntiil5 interpreters Of the constitution and re.
pealera Of the laws; because that is the very ali
menl whch ket ps them alive. The cry Of opp,cs-
SION has drawn to their support VAT number o.
persons whose judgments cannot approve Of thcie
course, and needless threat to put them down,
by force Of aruis, might greatly augment the NUN
h.f Of h II recruits FROM thar class tho reason il
timir hearts aad lot in their hel!s 1t will be time
enough to take the final step, whatever that be,
when the Igcrcut course Of South Carolina shaii
render II necessary. Until that periol shall arrive,
itwcoll be ,neS i,ailcnt and imrotic in the prcsi-
dent to disclose his views ami purposes.
On the subject Of The 'farlti, the Presidents O.
paion is siIu anhig uou8, though 1t is rather more
dhniIely expressed tlian in his former Messages.
While he THINKS - thar manufactures ad gHate 10
Tia sa2ply n eur doa,cslic consumption, would in
the ebstra' E. be beneficial to o,r county," he yet
recommends, the dictate of " patriotism and ln-
t., that the policy OF protection should be u Il
malsly Inn Cd 10 those articles Of domestic mang-
t'eture which are Indispensable to safety in
TIM. ofwnf.' His position & his recommendation

country 10 nlan"iacture all the fabrics ii consumes

docs TIE p,es,ent mean by :" those articles Of do
nestle manufacture which ar, indispensable to our

tie means of del'ca aud aeeresz ion-mms, mill

include, in THIS ind finite term the various other
articles shown by the experience of our Revolution
aud OR late war r. be onfes equally essential

&c. Coz Wan1 of which such numb OF our gall mt

his recommendation, the South Caroinans will
have obtained all that they demand in their uNi-
aaatam, and the danger from that quarter will van
ish-itae mean the latter the er1eptioH to his Inn
'topcns field for the friends of the protective policy
rot wide enough to satisfy them, and yet too wide
to meet the demands Of South Carolina. From the
tenor of other portions Of the Message, we incline
10 the opinion, however that the President docs
not intend to include in his exception any thing rot
absolutely indispensable--and as coarse wooens
and various manufactures of non though necessary
10 our comfort N time of war, are not indispen-
sable tocur saiaty" he designs to exclude them
ffom th6hst OF projected articles The most bitter
coemy of lie TaritfSystrm ough; surely to be sat
lsfiod with this but how will the manufacturing
States, which have by their votes, reelected him
to the Presidency, relish the disclosure of such
timents Whether they are pleased Nth them Oh
lot, however, can be of no consequence. They
must, as they ought to, abide the consequences OF
Their own act Be the Presidents meaning, how
ever, what II may, it mus, be the sincere desire Of
