 81rWe need make no apology for the space occu- pied by the Message of the President. It is docu- ment which must be published, even though we may not approve of all it's doctrines
 We find, on reference to various exchange pa pers, that the message is very generally approved of by the whigs, as containing sound whig sentiments while, on the other hand, the locos almost uniform y find fault with it-Mr Benton, in his place in the Senate being particularly rabd againsit. As to the fiscal agent recommended, while some speak favor ably of it, all concur in the opinion that it exceed ngly doubtful whether it can pass either House of Congress. The locos will make war upon it as not coming up to their ideas of sub-treasury perfection and many of the whigs as not being near enough to an "old-fashoned Bank" The tone of the message with regard our foreign relations, and to the pre- sumed perdy any of the states in repudatng their debts, particularly gratifying lts, on the whole, plainly written, sensible, business document-more creditabe to MT. TYLER than was generally expect ed by friend or foe.
 35" In allusion to the next session of the County Court in our last paper it seems we were mistaken as to the time of it's commencement. It should have been the THIRD instead of the second Tuesday, This gives our delinquent customers little more time to prepare to send in their dues which we trust will not be unmproved.
 | Gov ARTHUR P. BAeBY has been chosen U. S. &c., nator by the Legislature of Alabama the 24th ul, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Clement C. Clay MT. Bagby, though a strong 10. cofoco, has heretofore been considered pretty hon. orable man. When were resident of his State, he was friend of Henry Clay, and not of Clement c. Clay-as far removed from every characteristic of statesman, as day from night But misery and po- itcal interest make strange bed.fellows.
 The difficulty in Tennessee in regard to the cleo.
 ton of U s. Senators is likely to be settled at last- On the first inst. the resolution to go into the election on the d and Sd for the choice of Senator on each day, was carried in the upper house by vote of l3 l 10 l2-one loco (Mr Turney) voting with the whigs. It was immediately adopted in the other house. So, by the next mail from there, may expect to hear of the choice of Mir. FOSTER, and in day or two an. other good whig-who, is uncertain. The eastern section of the State claiming one, 1t is believed Mr. BELL cannot or will no. be chosen. We hope they will be instructed to be instructed out of their seats by subsequent legislature.
 1 Vrginia.-The Legislature of this State met on ! Monday, the 9th, says the N Y Tribune, and was organized by the reelection, without opposition, of JOHN w. NASH, as Speaker of the Senate, and V. w. SoUTHALI (Whig) Speaker ot the House of Delegates -lhe latter gentleman having been chosen by ma jority of five votes Joel Holleman lOppositon) There a remarkably full attendance of the mem- bers, especially of those belonging to the House of l Delegates, only five of whom were absent--two Wings and three Van Buren men,
 7he latest Humbugs.-The loco loco legislature of South Carolina refusing to receive the money under l the Distribution Act !-and Alabama following her brilliant example!
 WAsHNeToN, Dee. l2 | On one subject was under misapprehension pr- or to coming here. supposed the larger portion of the Loco Foco party intended to support MT. Van Buren for President in lS44. It is not SO. Unless I am greatly mistaken, the Recluse of Knderhook has now very few advocates South or West of the Della ware. The tide may turn in season; but just at pre- sent it sets very strongly against him. and his look is a sorry one.
 The party will probably take it's next candidate for President from the Senate, and perhaps for Vice President also. MT. Buchanan of Pa. is certainly looking to the first post, and MT. King of Ala is | teemed eligible for the second But Col Benton's appears to be in the ascendant. at least at the Globe ofice His clustering voice was instantly rais- ed in vehement opposition 10 the message in order to orestal the judgment of the party, and hush the ap probation which it was feared its moderate tone and conciliatory doctrines would exort It is his rufian | spirit which dictates the brutal attacks on MT. WEE which defe the columns of that sheet if it's de- flement be possible. Last evenings leading article violently assals that portion of the Message which treats of the Right of Search on the Slave Coast, which it attributes to MT. w ebser. nsinuaing broad ly and repeatedly that he is in the yuy of England and engaged in selling rights and interests her for sordid gold Such is the spirit of master and man Benton and Blair Shall they ever again be the rulers of the American people ?-N. Y. Tribune. Nor BAD.-They have association in Maine, the terms of admission into which are, that every man who signs the constitution shall plant tree.
