RESENTMENT OF THE NATIVES.

We perceive by the ST. Louis papers that angry
have been witnessed there for several days. in
consequence Of the publication Of hand bill Iefec-
ting upon the energy and patriotism Of the natives and
that countrymen indignant at the baseness Of
the act well at the perfdy Of the nauralized for
egners, revenged themselves in satisfactory manner
for the insult We regret hear that there should have
been any boodshed, even though lives were lost.
In this city, not only taunts, but threats
aye, pyiuafe oeN anonymous: threats, with other
resistance than that of appeal In very
outset, we, and indeed the whole body Of Native
Americans, were not merely assaulted with the want Of
energy for the honor Of the country, and the defence Of
her rights-but the palm Of all that was brave and
chivalr GUS was claimed by the aliens not for what
they had done, but what they would have done,
they alone, it said could fight the battles which
we as towards could not fight 1t is true indignation
was at perilous height, though it was Gained, and
the traitorous slanderer who lbeled as, under the
name Of Montgomery was permitted 10 escape, un
punished and zoe hope unknown.

THE BRITISH QUEEN.

In reply to the inquiry whether Queen

says:
"Before she came to the crown, she was
by law prohibited, with the other mem.
bers male or female, of the royal family
to marry without the consent Of the King
Being herself sovereign, this restraint IS
of course removed, and there is no other

any person who shall profess the popisb
religion, or marry papist, shall be ex.

people would be absolved from their all ..
glance, and the crown and government
would descend to such person, being
protestant, as would inherit the same in
case the person so protesting or marrying

ton, we are not aware that there is any
restraint upon the free choice of hus-
band by the Queen, independently of the
will and consent of any one"

IMPORTANT-IF TRUE.

A gentleman direct from Houston. the
capitol Of Texas, states that news had
been received there, that General Monte.
yuma, who headed the rebellion in the in.
terror, and was reported to have been
killed, and his troops put to rout by the
government forces, is not dead, but now
at the head Of some four or five thousand
men, against Bustamente, who is making
every exertion in his power to repel them:
and further, that Gen. Houston has issued
an order for the meeting of Congress on
the Goth of September, and intends to re
sign the Presidency, and accept the COM
mand of the Texian army, with the in
tention of Immediately invading Mexico.
We give the statement as we heard il.
without comment; leaving our readers to
decide, with their knowledge of preceding
events, upon the probability of the rumor.
BY the invasion of Mexico, however, we
apprehend nothing further is intended
than descent upon Matamoris.

Thus the reader will perceive, to what
an enormous extent the administration of
Hen. Jackson have encouraged "over-
trading" in public lands, subject over
which il claimed an absolute control-and
Wanted itself on having saved the public
lands from spectators!
If President Van Buren, had looked into
this and other matters, in which he and
his "reverend Chiefs have encouraged
their partzans and pets to monopolize
the public lands, he would be ut no loss 10
account for the preSSRre--but it was not
his interest to assign the true cause for
it-however degrading Discrimination may
be considered by the patriotic and high
minded, if the President has the intelli-
gence for which he has credit, he is guilty
of the infamous vice.
The President also asserts, that if the
United States Bank had been re-charter
ed, it could not have prevented the
pressure. This is mere assertion. Err
perience teaches US the reverse: that the
country has never been free from the
curse of overtrading and deranged cur
roncy, except during those periods while
a United States Bank was in operation
then there was no complaint of over
trading, and the United States possessed
the best currency in the world Let Van
Buren, or any Of his partizans account for
this!
The President is opposed to both, a
United States Bank or State Banks as
fiscal agents Of the government-he is in
favor OF collecting the public revenue in
gold and silver, and let it remain in posses
sion of the Federal olfice-holders until
discussed by them--he also lets out the
true secret Of his and his predecessors
warfare against the Banks-he desires
Treasury Bank--but he thinks it his best
policy to approach the subject cautiously
at first--he therefore merely asks that
Congress allow the Treasury to issue
drafts or notes pro tem. to meet the neces-
slties ofthe Government
The President discountenances in Con.
grcss, any attempt TO interfere with, or
establish uniform currency throughout
the Union, any further than the fiscal

When Col. r. NJ. Johnson was taken up
for the Vice Presidency, he was expected
to bring a great accession of strength to
the administration. 1t seems, however,
that he is one ofthe most unpopular men
in the nation. He is unpopular every
where. He is unpopular in his own State,
for the State has just declared against his
principles by an overwhelming majority.
He is unpopular in his own Congressional
District and even in his own county, for
that District and that county have set upon
his candidate the seal of their reproba-

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

&
This message was received on Thurs
day last, but It's extremc length excludes
il from this days paper.
The President expresses the same OPT
Mon, as that; the party has so stoutly con
tended for; "that the existing presSure,"
technically so called, is attributable to
"overtrading, overbanking," &c, and the
"erperiment" has had nothing to do with
the advances no new arguments--he
merely gives US repetition of those
already published in the party papers.
We agree with the President that "over-
:rading, overwhelming" &c. has been the
cause of the present embarrassment in the
pecuniary affairs of the nation, but he
only looks an inch before his nose. We
are disposed to push our enquiry some
what further-we feel bound to enquire
what was the cause Of this ''oyertrading,
&C.? and there we have the whose secret,
Let US appeal to facts:--we have data
only to show what has been the difference
between the "overtrading" in public lands
brought about by the policy Of the presen
and the last administration. The follow
ing is the amount received in public lands
during the four years Of Mr. Adams
presidential toFm, when no pressure ex
isted, and the four last years of Genera
]ackson's, which has brought about the
pressure. We merely cite the sales of
the public lands as sample of the policy
of the late and present administration.

TO accomplish that end--ths he knows
will not be suffcent--and he knows that
the State Bank system has already failed
to establish sound medium of exchange
he will therefore make it a matter OF
