GOVERNOR CORWIN's MESSAGE

NON ERNOh LOh w I'm y MEoohIE
Governor Corwin's Message has, so
far as we can learn, given general sa'
tisfaclion. 1t is a genuine Wing docu-
men tall over, As literary production
it is decidedly good - many of its para
graphs indeed, are finely and eloquently
written. But, in our opinion, what com.
monds this message especially TO the
appreciation Of the people is the mild
and dignjfed spirit which pervades the
whole production; and which is so emi
nentIy characteristic OF Gov. Corwin. -
You look into this message in vain, il
you expect to find single emanatlon oi
partisan feeling. Discarding the mar

Governor Corwn. has briefly, but fairly
exhibited ,he true condition Of our great

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
This document is before our re0dera;
and they, doubtless, have formed their
own opinions OF its merits and dement's,
Upon the whole, we think, it is rather a
popular Message. In itS tone and TEN.
per there is nothing TO condemn, but
much to command admiration, In point
of style it appears 10 US unexceptona'
BILE, or, at least, equal to the Executive
Messages that have Of late years prece'
ceded it, The friends OF American In
dustry will rejoice to see that President
TyleropenIy advocates the principle Of
protective or discriminating duties. At
the same time, it will not escape their
observation that, by invoking n spirit
of compromise on this subject, ne seems
to dread the application of that prin.
ciple; and in fact to apprehend that it
may be so exercised as to interfere with
an important proviso in the act to dislri.
butte among the several Sates the pro-
ceeds Of sales Of Public Lands. .Foru.
nately, however. it will be easy, with
the aid Of President Tyler, to overcome
that difficulty. To insert in Revenue
Bill, founded on the principle Of protec.
tion,a special clause repeating the OBJ.
noxious Proyiso in the Distribution Act,
will be attended with no trouble whalev-
or; and this too may be- donc without
disturbing or thwartlng the beniGcent
objects of that act, in any respect,
Asto his financial scheme, or Fiscal
Agent, we think the President is "at
sea- What kind of an institution it is
really designed to be, cannot, Of course,
be we'll understood until the Secretary Of
State shall lick it into shape and come
Iiness But viewing tho monster" as
sketched by President Tyler, it looks
very much like another Sub, Treasury
having fully as many of,he attributes
of Government Bank. Take any shape
it may in the hands of Mr.. Secretary
Forward, if no build up this institution
on tho Presidents foundation, it can be
made little more or less than a Fiscal
Agent for the benefit Of office holders
1t would not, it could not supply the
people with currency for their ordinary
business transactions; and, its issues,
like the millions Of Treasury notes now
said to be outstanding would nOVer line
the purse or tickle the hard hand of
tho working man, in the west, but would
be entirely absorbed in the commercial
transactions Of our great eastern and
northern cities. Besides it does seem to
US that such a Fiscal Agent would oper-
ate as the direct antagonist Of the State
Banks. But Of these things we may be
better able to Judge, when the Secretary
shall give tho project in detail.

GTlt will be seen by reference to The

preUentatives, given under the proper
head, that MIR. Speaker White, IN APP
pointing the select Committee on FL

We copy the following notice Of pro-
ceedings IN the House, alluded to above,
from the Columbus Freeman Of the l7th
inst:
In The House, this morning, the SUBJ
Ject OF bank reform came up in the shape
OF resolution, providing for an enquiry
into The conduct Of the ChilIicolhe Bank,
the cause Of suspension, &C., and pro.
pounding number Of interrogalores
to the officers Of saId Bank. On the part
OF the Wings, 1t was CoUtended that the
same course should in justice be taken
towards all the suspended hanks. and as
far as applicable, the questions should be
propoundsd to ALL Strange as it may
appear, many Of the bank retormers
opposed the amendment, and finally all
bot two voted against its adoption. Why
they did so, it is Impossible for US TO con-
lecture, unless they arc determined 10
oppose every thing even 10 The shape
of bank reform, which shall DO advocated
by the Wings.
