MESSAGE.

We resume our notice of this state pa
per, 10 put in our protest TO the doctrines
of Mr.. Websler's portion of it. We
think on every point where it approach
es Great Britain, that it bears the impress
of an humbled, yielding spirit, conscious
of nferiority, and ready to pay homage
to the assuming superior.
The Mcleod affair is thus brought un-
der review.
alexander Mcleod, having this Op-
tion either to prosecute a writ of error
from the decision Ofthe Supreme Ceurt
of New York, which had been rendered
upon his application for a discharge, to
the Supreme Court of the United States,
or 10 submit his case to the decision of a
jury, preferred the latter, Geeming it the
readiest mode of obtaining his liberation
and the result has fully sustained the
wisdom of his choice. The manner in
which the issue Submitted was tried, will
satisfy the English Government that the
principles of justice will never fail to
govern the enlightened decision of an
American tribunal. cannot fail, how
ever, to suggest to Congress the proprie.
ty, and, in some degree, the necessity oi
making such provisions by law, so far as
they may ConstitutionalIy do so, for the
removal. at their commencement, and at
the option of the party, of all such cases
as may hereafter arise, and which may
involve the faithful observance and exc.
cutiOn Of our International obligations
from the State to the Federal Judiciary
This government, by our institutions, is
charged with the maintenance of peace
and the preservation of amicabIe rela-
tions with the nations of the earth, and
ought TO possess, without question, all
the reasonable and proper means of nam
tanning the one and preserving the other
Whilst just confidence is felt in the Judi
ciary OF the States, yet this Government
ought to be competent in itself for tht
fui6lment of the high duties which have
been devolved upon it under the organic
law, by the States themselves"
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Web
ster, in his correspondence with Mr.. Fox
at the Threshold admitted the obligation
. Of this Government 10 surrender Mcleod

al offence for which he was put on trial
on the demand of Great Britain--tha

ward and taking part in this very laudoble
business, that of educating all the chill
dren in the land. Nor is this all. In
many parts of the country the ablest
men Of the faculty are deserving the call
ing, and turning their attention to other
things. even if they be less profitable,
because they are more agreeable.
Before close | will also take the op-
portunity,Ias we'll as the freedom, TO say
few words BY way of advice, 10 those
young men who are scholars, and under
whose observation this communication
may happen to fall. And believe me,
my young friends, that do this through
no other motives than a sincere desire
for your own welfare. am young my
self; but, notwithstanding, have been
for nearly three years almost constantly
engaged in the business of an instructor;
and therefore | do know, that boy Is and
l6 years of age, think they may take
greater privileges than others, and violate
the rules of their school with impunty.
No opinion was ever more false and un-
founded. Such course can never fail
Of retarding your progress and ultimate
ly injuring yourselves. Whether you
have ever thought of this matter or not,
to you it is of no small consequence
The standing Of a young man IN the esti-
nation of the public, is in great degree
dependent upon the characrer given him
by his teachers aud school-mates when a
lad. When Nerva, the Emperor of
Rome, sent to Athens, IN Greece, for an
able professor, to come and superintend
the education of his son; the professor
upon his arrival in Rome, took up his
lodgings, and gave information 10 the
Emperor that he had arrived; and receiv
ed for answer "that he wished him to
come and wait upon the young prince"
The proud aad manly Athenian replied,
sit is the duty of the scholar to wait upon
his teacher, not the teacher upon the
scholar" The Emperor Obeyed, thus
acquescing in the correctness of the max.
i'm, "that submission TO the rule and gov
ernment of superiors, is the surest way
