4 THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
The motion to refer to the committee of
finance that part of the Presidents Mes
sage relating to the Finances was taken
~
Nj Webster rose, and made most
de and statesmanlike speech. OF which
! lam only enabled now to send you an
imperfect outline.
Mr. Webster said he had been induced
Nth great reluctance, to make any re-.
marks on the finances of the country, at
Ills period of the session. He had no
wish to bring on general protracted, or
heated discussion on that or any other
subject. The message contains an elab-
crate aud plausible defence of the whole
course of the Administration in regard to
he revenue, and the commerce and the
business of the Nation.- 1t deals with
al the topics connected with these SUBJ
lects. 1t treats of banks-of excuses in
sade and cemmerce-of state debts
eangers arising therefrom-of the sub
a.esasury system--or as it is called, the
Independent treasury. He proposed to
zeal with none of these topics. So far
athey may be supposed to affect the
merits or character of the Administration
asey are passed. He did not intend to
discuss them-nor would he enter into
~, ne inquiry, what has been approved and
aasapproved by the People, as shown in
We late contest. 1t was enough for him,
nat j. appears to be the opinion of the
country, that change of the Admins
aaaon was necessary. His object was
a01 10 indulge in elimination Of the past,
a 40 indicate the future policy Of the
uoVernment. But there were some pas
ages Of the Presidents Message. calcu-
la'ed TO give erroneous impressions as to
matters of fact, and matters of opinion,
% which he wished to call the attention
delay.
Mr. Webster here read the following
passage on the 9th page Of the message:
y have deemed this brief summary Of
u our fiscal affairs necessary TO the due
performance of duty specially enjoined
upon me by the constitution. 1t will
serve, also, to illustrate more fully the
principles by which | have been guided
y reference to two contested points in
!. vuf public policy, which were earliest in
.lelr development, and have been more
. i in their consequences, than any

slu c'thcult, yet admirable, system Of

With instructions to tell Of better times near

To make an apology he thinks would be we'll;

AFFRAY.-We learn that quite seri-
Gus ARRAY took place at Mineral Point on
Tuesday last. The circumstances. as near
as we can learn them, are as follows
Charles Bracken, being at the Point, Mr.
Welsh, of the Free Press, went to see
him with a view of inflicting personal
chas'isement on him for the injury he had
received a short time previous. MIR Welsh
was armed with cane, and when he ap-
preached within ten or eleven PAGES of
Bracken, B. told him to stand or he would
shoot him. He forthwith drew pistol
and cooked it. Mr. Welsh did the same,
and an exchange of shots was the conse-
quence. Both parties drew pistols again,
and made second exchange of Shots
MIR. Welsh then went to a friend near by,
and obtained a loaded pistol and fired at
Bracken as he was retrea,ing. Bracken
was about thirty yards from Welsh, and
the ball missed him. Rracken came on,
of the conflict unhurt. Mr.. Welsh re-
ceived flesh wound, the frs: fire, in the
lefss shoulder. The wound, we under
stand, however, is not a dangerous one.
We regret extremely to be called upon
TO record such disgraceful conflicts, par
tcularly between men holding any thing
like respectable rank in society. 1t is
disgrace to the Territory, and material
ly Injuries its credit abroad. We have
laws, and let them be enforced. vigorous
ly enforced, against all violators of the
public peace. and particularly against
those who would introduce customs a
mong US that would disgrace barbarous
or savage people. There is no doubt
that Mr.. Welsh was assailed in mos,
humanity way while riding unarmed in
the vicinity of Brackcn's residence. Mr..
Welsh, however, should remember, that
man that is capable of offering gross
and coward-like insult, is himself. most
generally, incapable of being insulted. L.
