BY way of finishing off, we copy the fol-
lowing extracts, from notices of the Mes
sage in two whig papers-the N. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser and (NewporD Herald
of the Times. 1t is strange how such learn
ed folks can differ so widely on such a
matter-of' fact question.
First comes Col. Stone, of the CONNER
clal Advertiser, read his opinion -
"The message is unquestonably an able
and well written paper. The style is good,
and clear, and no objection can he made to
1t on the score of good taste or expIIcitness.
We have seldom read statement combin-
ing matters of fact with argumentative con-
clusions, more sklfuly adapted 10 accom-
pllsh the object of the writer; and we very
much fear that it will be efliectual in recon-
cling the mass of the people to the mis-
chievous doctrines with which ii is so strong
ly charged.
As state paper, the message is the h
blest that has been laid before the people
since the administration of Mr.. John Quin-
cy Adams.
The Rhode-Island Republican. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1809-1841, 1837-09-13

Now for the Herald of the Times-off
hats, gentlemen -
Z" 1t is document of great length, and
little perspicuity, put together in the prolx
and perplexed style peculiar to iia author"
81 recommends nothing with postiveness
on the subject of the currency; but, if we
understand it, leans decidedly to genuine
loco focoism."
Ha-ha-ha-there, Col. Stone, there's
a bone for you to pick. The erudte and
critical editor of the Herald asserts that it
is of little perspicuiiy," "prolix and per-
picked in STYLE" and recommends nolhins
with postiveness, on the subject of the cur
rency; "and you have dared to say it sis
unquestionably a well written paper; the
style is good, and clear, and no objection
can be made to 1t on the score of good taste
or erphcitness." Really, Colonel, yon
must have forgotten that such person as
the editor of the Herald of the Times exist
ed in the good town of Newport. You see
now, how much you were mistaken-thai
objection can, and has been made to it, OF
the very score OH which you said none can
be made. You must "knock under" now,
Colonel,-retract, aud acknowledge the su-
perior judgment aud literary requirements,
of the renowned editor Of the Herald of the
Times.
