From The Columbus GA Enquirer.
Tnr PaEslDEsrs MESSAGE We consider this a
GOOD document Having read il attentiyely we find
nothing in it to condemn, but on the contrary much
TO approve II is paper Of moderate length well WHIT
ten, dignfed IN tone, and comprehensive IN the emu
meraton of State affairs
We have neither time nor space at present TO give
the Message such a review we could wish, or even
to bestow than passing notice on It's leading
features.
Commencing with u suitable acknowledgment TO
Divine Goodness for the blessings Of civil and fe-
gious liberty which enjoy, II proceeds to treat 10
very perspicuous of foreign relations the
views which taken of the many ve1ed questions
at issue between our Government and that OF Great
Britain, such as all must approve
On the subject of the Tariff, We are not quite 50
certain that understand the full scope OF the Presi
dents remarks. He expresses himself in favor Of the
Compromise Of 1888, but implies doubt whether It
is possible carry the provisions OF that act lite
rally, with benefit to the country. Placing iayoTa-
BILE construction that part of the Message We inier
that President y Ter still occupies Republican ground
in reference TO the question OF the Iar and Is IN Ia
Of such discriminating duties only as may be land
consistently with the purposes OF revenue for the sup
port Of Government, without reviying the policy OF
protection.
That part Of the Message whch relates 10 the sub
ect tbs currency and exchanges will be looked TO
by our readers with peculiar interest The course
heretofore pursued by the President in relation 10 the
plans submitted for his approval at the extra session,
and the high Constitutional grounds then taken by
him IN opposition to Bank incorporation, had pre-
pared minds TO receive the suggestions Of scheme
totally different from any heretofore offered by the
friends Of a bank. The proposed is TO the
extent favorable 10 the views of the Bank men as
we had any right 10 expect Whether the plan sub
mltted will ure the support and approval OF inns
large section of The Why party, 10 matter of
great uncertainty, and whether if II shoold us ope-
ration will effect the great benefits contemplated, and
sanguinely anticipated by Mr.. Tyler remains to be
seen hereafter.
From the imperfect view of The plan which is pre-
sented In the Message we OF course unable To
form very correct judgment ol lis merits. What we
OF it, like. w hen fuller view is presented
hy the exhibition of the " hole plan, shall I've better
able To form opinion. This much, however, we
will take the responsibility of saying, this early
stage, that if, upon full deyeopement, the neS
scheme shall provide ample security for the attainment
Of the benefits confidently anticipated by the Free
ident, it shall receive our cordial support If the
measure proposed will secure the sae-keepng and
faithful disbursement OF the public treasure, furnish
currency that will be good every whee, and aiord
facilities Of exchange to trading classes, at The
least possible expense, and all this without injury to
the Government and withou, increasing the political
power of those employed in lis management or en-
arging the patronage Of the Presdent-to our minds
it will do alhat any State Rights man could reason
ably require
TO denounce Mr.. Tyler for his opposition to tie Bank
schemes proposed al the extra session We have been
willing 10 give himline and opportunity to investigate
the subject and We have confidently anticipated from
him all that he could consistently offer reconcile the
ontcting opinions OF his friends The plan now
submitted has doubt received all the r, Election and
care which his peculiar position enabled him TO give
H. and we earnestly hope that on lair and thorough
analysis, II may prove 10 be such an one as VIII Sp
prove itself worthy the cordial support Of the whole
party.
Prom the Wheeling Times
The more reflect u the main feature Of the Mes
sage the project of the fiscal agent the fully
we per uaded that it will have the desired effect OF
equalizing the currency throughout the Union. 1t
issues paperit red, ems that paper in gold and silver
an annual revenue of rs millions, besides the faith of
the Government berg holden for lis redemption, I. e
currency cannot fail 10 be sound to he II then
proposes receive the notes OF sound specie paying
banks at any OF It's agencies, This VIII compel the
banks to resume, or, being discreted, TO wind up.
II mu t of necessity give Us a currency without the
fluctuations attendant on banking, hecause that cur
rency IL del end in ouni, upon the amount OF our
| real wealth. These otes being rece8cd together
with those of banks, for public dues, and for all
/ purposes for which gold and silver Is received and
must be equally valuable If the effect at first Is To
| reduce our currency, must not be surprised. 1t
will do this, probably, until imports cease to be pro-
ftable, and they are reduced they must be, 50 far
below our exports that our foreign interest may be

may be paid with the balunce permitting the pre-
