BILE for this long and labored TRADE, or
for the nglomeration Of crudities about
currency Of The precious metals, which
constitute so considerable a portion Of
The bulk Of this Message, would be rc-
finement Of injustice. In the present
state Of his health, we are very sorry to
say, the President is known to be inca
pable Of such labor; and, we dare to
hope, considering the subdued and ra.
tional tone Of the parts Of the Message
which are his own, that he would, hud
he been able to give it a careful perusal,
have erpunged three-fourths Of the whole
discussion. BY the way, when reading
in that part Of the Message the passage e
referring to "ihe lessons taught by the
Bank Of the United States" it was i'm
possible not to mentally conceive the
regret that, among the lessons it "has
taught" and which the Message says
"cannot well be lost" that Of dignity
and propriety Of department had been
more effective where it has been much
needed.
I Let us not, however, close this hasty
notice Of the Message, without express
ing our hearty appreciation Of that part ol
il which recommends a repeal Of the du.
ty on the importation from abroad of Ger
tain necessaries OF life. This recon-
mendation we think entitled 10 the praise
both of wisdom and humanity. Taxa.
tion on imports has but two legitimate
objects-revenue for the government,
and protection Of domestic industry. -
II neither Of these renders the tax ne
cessary, il becomes a burden both use.
less and unjust, and ought to be remov-
ed, the more especially where il embra-
ces objects Of universal necessity, such
as fuel and breadstuffs.

State in the Uaioh that would Knowingly vi
olate this sacred canon Of political morsli-
y. .t.. =,
If any consideration could add to the in
trinsic weight of these high inducements to
abstain from any species Of interference with
the domestic ufiairs OF neighborlng and
friendly State, il would be tremendous retri.
button 10 which we are so peculiarly exposed
on our South Western frontier, from meas
ures Of retaliation.
Should Mexico declare wal against the
United Ststcs, and aided by some great Eu-
ropean power, hoist the standard Of servile
linsurrection in Louisiana and the neighbOr-
ing States, how deep would be our self re-
p.Oaches in rejecting that these atrocions
proceedings. received even a colorado apol-
ogy from our example. or from the unlawful
conduct Of our own citizens!
There is one question, connected with this
controversy, of a definite character, upon
which it may be proper that you should ex-
press an opinion. You are doubtless aware
that the people ofrexas, by an almost unan-
inious vote, have expressed their desire to be
admitted into our Confederacy, and applca-
ton will probably he made To Congress for
that purpose. In my opinion, Congress ought
not even TO entertain such a proposition IN
the present state Of the controversy. II we
admit Texas into our Union. while Mexico il
still waglng war against that Province, with
a view to re."stablish her supremacy over It,
we shall, by the uery art itself, Innke ourselves
q party 10 the war. Nor Gun we take this
step, without mourning this heavy response
blity, until Mexico herself shall recognize
the indepe ndence Of her revolted Province.
We have no official information Of the
precise state "f our relations with Mexico
Enough is known. however, to satisfy Us that
the coI,juncture is eminently critical. Let
us be scrupuously careful that We do nothing
to countenance, and all we can to prevent
the calamity of a wnr. We are now engng-
cd in fearful and doubtful struggle to reform
our federal system Of government, by throw
ing off the corruptions under which it is rap.
idly sinking.
\ In this state of things war with any coun-
| try would be the greatest of calamitirs; for
we could scarcely hope to come outofit with
any thing but the mere wreck Of free con-
sttution, and the external forms OF flee
government.
1 But may heaven avert these innuspicions
omens, and direct all your measures to the
advancement Of our true glory and lasting
happiness, a. free and favored people.

Mr.. COchran's many chambered Rife.-This
rifle has just been submitted to fair, but strict
trial, at the United States Arsenal in this ci-
~, and the writer has seen the report OF Cap
tain Ramsay and Lieutenant Scott, under
whose supervision the trial was made. The
rife, it appears, was fired one thousand and
eighty times, and was in the same order at
the termination rs at the commencement of
the firing. IN order to test the influence Of
rain, and wet from other causes, water was
put into the chamber, and left there for an
hour and ten minutes; the rifle was then dis.
charged. and with the same ease and effect
as before. The cylinder in the rifle thus test
ed contained nine chambers; and in com
parative trial. instituted between it and Halls
carbine, both pieces having been loaded, the
whole nine discharges were made from the
rifle before a second could he made from the
corbine.
During the whole trial not single cap
missed fire, and at the distance Of one hun
dred and fifty yards, with ten grains of pow
der, The ball perforated an inch pine board,
and was flattened against brick wall behind
it.
Some apprehension was enteriained that,
from the contguity Of the charges, acciden-
tai igaition might be produced. To prove
the entire freedom Of his rifle from this dan
ger, Mr.. Cochran placed loose powder in the
over the bulls and around the caps;
and. so circuInstAnecd, it was discharged as
safely as before.
Captain Ramsay observes that, with the
closest scrutiny, he could not discover any
objection to Mr.. Cochran's invention; and
Lieutenant Scott suys that, for simplicity, it
surpasses any thing of the kind he has ever
seen, and that its quality, as frenrm can be-
summed up in three words: "IT IS PERFECT"
The foregoing is the substance of the re-
po,,s, the terms being. in general, unchanged,
and no, IN any instance strengthened: and,
after these testimonials, the writer would
deem il imper,,... ent to add his own favorable
Impressions or cor. viciions. The thing has
been examined and cs,,ilmated in tho right
quarter. I

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

1t is impossible isays the Baltimore
Chronicle)to mistake the remarks Of that
portion Of the message relating to the
Bank of the United States and the dis.
tribution Of the Surplus Revenue. We
regret to say that the President has been
induced, in part Of this branch Of his
subject TO state what is inconsistent with
well authenticated facts within the per-
sonal knowledge Of all commercial men.
His recent illness and perhaps his want
Of opportunity to become acquainted with
the subject, have, we would fain believe,
led to this palpable violation Of well at
tested truth. The following are the
statements to which we allude:
] ut is now well ascertained that the real
domestic exchanges performed, through dis
counts. by the United States Bank and the
twenty five branches, were at least one third
less than those Of the deposite banks for an
equal period of time, and if a comparison be
instituted between the amounts Of service
rendered by these institutions, on the broad
er basis which has been used by the advo-
Gates of the United States Bank in estimating
what they consider the domestic exchanges
transacted by it, the result will be still more
favorable to the deposte banks"
"These enormous sums Of money first mcn-
toned have been transferred with the great
est promptitude and regularity, and the rates
at which the exchanges have been negotiated
previously to the passage Of the deposite act,
were generally below those charged by the
Bark Of the United States"
Apart from the plain error of this state
ment, taken even literally-an error which
may be established by an appeal to the
experience Of every commercial man in
the large ciiies--there is dising enuous
attempt to conceal the fact that the do
mestic exchanges Of the country are no,U
conducted at rates ruinously exorbitnnt,
and double, treble, quadrupIe what they
were during the existence Of the Bank.
Why is this fact concealed? Why, in
this audaiion of the better currency and
oi the dtposlte Banks, IS the TACT alto
gether omitted, that, as instruments Of
Domestic Exchange, they have proven
utterly worthless, and that, since the
public funds were transferred 10 them,
the rates Of exchange have been con-
stantly running up, until they are now
higher than ut any period within the last
twenty years. Such an omission is un-
pard enable and could not have occurred
had MIR. Woodbury. been actuated by an
honest desire to present the subject i'm.
partially and truly to the nation. In this
case the suppress;o reri is not one whit
less censurable than its kindred suggesiio
falsi.

sP The National lntelligcncer in
some remarks relating to the anticipated
proceedings Of Congress, says
"Some questions of great interest will
doubtless urise out of the attempts which
will he made, in various ways during the
session, to bring down the revenue Of
the country to the wnn:s Of the Govern
ment. We doubt whether much will he
effected at this session towards that OBJ
ject; though to a reduction or abolition
of duties on some articles Of primary ne
cessity we see no sufficient objection, 81
far as il does not disturb the principles Of
the compromise by which the existing
tariff of duties Oh imports was fixed. 1t
seems to be generally understood that
there will be no attempt TO repeal the act
OF the last Sc ssion for the distribution Of
the surplus revenue; but il such an nt-
tempt were to he made, it could not 9th
erwise than fail
The cessation Of the Presid dential can
vass, we will only further remark, pre-
sen's to Congress the most favorable on
poriunity which has occurred for several
years tor the invest CATION of alleged pub
lie abuses, and for the correction of those
which may be established by such ex-
an'lna'ions into these allegations as eth.

t,ves especially, mny think proper 70 ~

SOUTH CARoLINA.-The Legislators Of this
state, in joint meeting Of both houses, have
solemnly washed their hands Of the pfesiden-
tial election, and refused to take any part or
lot in the elevation Of either Of the candidates
why, (says the N. y. Commercial Advertiser)
we are not informed very distinctly. In a
Legislative caucus, held on the 5th instant,
the nomination of Martin Van Buren, was
unanimously negatved-so also that Of VIM.
Henry Harrison, one only voting in its favor
and finally that Of Judge White, by con-
siderable majority. Mr.. McCord then sub
nitted the following resolutions:
Resolved. That South Carolina will best
preserve her honor, and subserve the inter-
ests and principles for which she has been
contcnding, and to which she still adheres,
by declining, under the present circumstances
Of the presidential election, to vote for either
of the three candidates before the people.
Resolved, That this state will give her vote
for John Tyler, Of Virginia, for the office OF
vice presiden, Of the United States.
They were adopted almost unanimously
and were followed by another, which was
also adopted, in the words following:
| THAT the electors of this state do vote
blank for president of the United States"
| And the meeting then adjourned

Mr. BiDDLE's LETTER.-The Ma

letter from NICHOLAS BIDDLg Esq
President Of the u. S. Bank, to the
Hon. JOHN QuiSsy ADAMS, the object
of which is to disabuse the public mind
--much ignorance, and far more decep-
tion and misrepresentation having pre-
vailed with regard to the manner in
which the Bank obtained its charter
from the State Of Pennsy sylvania-and
place the facts attending the re-charter
of the Bank fairly before the public
These facts are founded principally on
public documents and Legislative pro-
ceedings, and vouched for by Mr. Bid
die. The editors Of the N. Y. Journal
Of Commerce, by no means the admirers
Of Mr.. Biddle, pronounce "his positions
perfectly sound"
