pRES1nENTS MESSAGE.

We copy in to days paper, tie Presidents
message. FIR, m the length ofth's document,
and other articles, which had been prepared
for our present number, we are compelled TO
send il forth. with but few remarks.
In regard to the style and general character
Of the message, it is decidedly superior to any
production, which Mr. Tyler has published
SINE his present elevation. His remarks on
our foreign relations are proper and well ex-
pressed. The position which he has taken on
the tariff IN regard to discriminating duties,
was unexpected, but nevertheless, in our opin-
i'm, correct. Inthose sections Of counlry,where
once every principle of even incidental protec-
ton, was viewed with holy horror, we
discover an increasing disposition to look
back al our former opinions With more coolness
and consider the who'e subject with less pre-
JUDGE. This change in feeling and opinion
has been induced by the iIliber,l policy OF
Great Britain; and the active exertIols which
that government is making to foster the culture
oicotton in India to the utter prostration of the
Southern interests whilst we continue our de-
pcndence on her as the purchaser of our staple
product, will necessarily force US to a more Sc
rious reflection on this important subject.
Notwithstanding the previous course of Mr.
Tyler, intense interest has been felt through
out the country in regard to one ofthe subjects
embraced in the Presidents message. the sub
ject Of J. NANCE. This anxiety has been in.

would meet their views, but from the peculiar

The outlines Of this plan are gwen in the mes

request Of Congress by the secretary of the
