The following is the language of the Boston
Courier and other papers on the Presidents
Message.
''As to the Tariff, all the President SAYS on
that point is Insignificant twaddle. 1t is man.
ifest that he has no distinct notion upon the
subject, beyond that of "Judicious tariff" as
understood by Gen. Jackson. A man who
had the slightest conception of the magnitude
and importance of the interests involved IN the
question of protection to our own domestic la
Dor and the Development of the resources of
the country, would not talk in such an un.
meaning style of the wisdom of delicate ope-
rations and moderate counsels." New Eng
land has nothing to hope for in this respect
from any recommendation of the President,
unless she can touch his sensibilities by other
arguments than those addressed merely to the
understanding. Southern prejudices are too
strong for Yankee common sense, though
backed by the most unanswerable of all argu-
demonstration.
From The Washington Correspondence of the
". Y. Journal of Commerce, (,ohig)
II find that the ultras on both sides are much
opposed to the adoption of Mr.. Tyler's fiscal
agent and, as yet, the Tyler men have not
avowed any great prediction for it in its pres
emf form. The wings (proper) cant go it in
any shape, but some more moderate democrats
would be willing, they say, to take it, if dives
ted of the provision for dealing in exchanges
The UNIVERSAL opinion is that it will not be adop-
ted. Thus it is settled that no sorl of bank
either government or corporated bank
shall be established.
From the Albany Argus, (Democrntie.)
at is obvious indeed that so far as MIR. Ty-
Ter departs from the simple plan of an IndePen-
dent Treasury, with, perhaps, slight modifica-
tons, he is driven to the alternative OF a Gov
eminent Bank or National Banking Incor-
poration, neither of which can command a
majority of votes, in Congress or before the
