OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON THE
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


From HE Village (Pa.) Record.
Upon the whole, President Tyler's Message may
be said TO equal the expectations not the desires OF
the Wing party Of Pennsy lvania. In reference TO
the fiscal agent many think il should have fair and
candid consideration, that if practicable it may be
adopted
From the n. y. Correspondent efhs Independent
The Fiscal AGENr.-Some think it project
which, fairly carried out and under judicious checks
may prove servceabe in regulating the currency and
all consider II an experiment which is worth trial
with strong hopes Of It's utility ADD some apprehen
sions Of its failure
From Mt ~ Y. Brother jonathan.
Fiscal AoENT.--Of course il will meet with
objections, from ultra politicians, both sides bul
we think will find favor than any other proj@c
that has been proposed. OF It's merits however, the
reader must be his judge, but II is certainly as
what may be cs!led party in tliution as the
wit Of man could well devise.
From the Wayne County Ga } Record,
Though many bitter things have been said against
the President, his language IN reference TO the
rency question is conciatory, an IN such spirit we
hope he Will be met by the assembled Representative
of the nation
From The AfHsdgriHs Geo) Journal
The Presidents Message We present read
with this Important state paper II will be found
by those who peruse it, to be exceedingly interest
ing message and decidedly the best in point Of sly
and temper that Mr.. Tyler has ye, presented to Con
gress Upon the currency queson--that question
which for many years has been the cause of great
excitement among the people, and IN relation 10 which
many confessedly great men have widely dit
fered-we as well as our readers will haveto wait Tor
the report Of the Secretary of the Treasury before We
venture 10 express opinion IN relation to the policy
oi adopting, rejecting Mr. Tylers plan of dsposng
OF it. When We the report we shall be prepared
To speak out freely opinions IN relation TO the pro.

Our relations with Great Britain are correctly viewed

himself We shall Trouble hun IN next with our
comments
From The Savannah Republican.
Our acknowledgements due to the editors of the
Madlsonian, for copies OF ,he Presidents Message.
The Message This long expected document has
at length arrived, and upon the whole much
better satisfied with il than we expected 10 be. The
of the Message touching our foreign relations is
ut manly and independent, and calculated to IN
the national sefrespect, while yields abundant
consideration To the rights OF others.
The Message gives sketch OF fiscal agent sna, k
ing Of Sub Treasury, upon which we do not pre-
for the present to offer any speculaonS, Ii
may be safely said Of all these recent plans that their
operation cannot possibly lie toreseen. hen known
and established financial methods departed from
time alone establishes results.
From ne augusta Geo.) sentinel
The Message 1t is a duty which We. owe no less
to the county, than To reputation for candor, to
discuss the merits of this state paper with ven-hande
Justice, II such thing be possible We are the
disposed 10 this course particularly on this occasion
from the fact that We as our readers are well aware
contributed humble efforts TO elevate The author to
that position from which, by the OF providence h,
attained TO the Office of President. II Is therefore un-
pleasant find ourself differing with in whose
behalf struggled zeaousy, upon OF the
most important and delicate questions OF which the
message treats.
As the space allotted for notice Of is quit,
limited we shall necessarily coniine remarks /,
those points of greatest moment, and in relation tt
which the country has been IN everlsh state Of e1
c,ement for months. We allude to relations viii
England, The Tariff and the Currency quest ons.
a~ RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.
The most important part of the message devoted I,
this subject, that which relates 10 the right Of search
claimed by England over our vessels engaged in Ari
can commerce, and wetake great pleasure in eapes
sing uur decided appreciation OF his sentiments, ant
The dignitied yet firm and conciatory tone ia wheel
they are expressed. They are IN our opinion ounde,
IN reason Justice and those great fundamental prlnc
pies Of hight and wrong, which form the basis The
Jaw of nations. In time Of peace, the right OF search
claimed by England does not exist, and the eXercis,
Of il should not be tolerated under any pretence what
ever on her part Such privilege is not tolerated BY
The common law either in England OF America over
the property of private citizens, and If volave OF the
rights Of individuals il is equally 50 Vi national VIZ
trust, however that this question will be amicaby adj
jused between the two high contendIng parties. IN
such manner Will prevent for all future time any
complaint.
Nor will we withhold our appreciation from that por
ton of the Message that rea,es TO the Mcleod case
which equally deserves our sincere approval W.
concur fully with the Message that our foreign re
atons ale conducted exclusively by The General Gov
eminent ought to possess the power OF maintaining
ueace and preserving our amlcaoie relations IN
olowinp sentiment therefore in our opinion found
ed in reason and justice ana Is truly constitutions
and national IN its CHI aracter.
Whilst Just confidence is felt in the Judiciary o
the States vet this Government ought to be competen
IN itself for the Jutflment Of the htgh duties rhtc
hare en- derored upon IL by The organic Idlo by tn
States themselves.
The case of the Caroline too is discussed in tn
Ness,o. with that clearness and calnness which S

tmen,s of the Message the SUBJECT OF our relation

representative of a magnann.ous people who ask nc
thing but what Is right, and submit to nothing 'h"'

Message equally merits our concurrence The Presi

this subject marked for It's spirit of liberaty TOWARD
the varied and diversified interests of the nation,

On the whole il is about such document as wa
