U TsE MESSAGE will probably be read in Con
gress to-day at noon, anG will, in that case, reach
this city between / 0 and II this evening. We shall
have it for sale Immediately upon its arrival, and
shall issue i, in our whole edition To- morrow morn
ing Few take the trouble to guess what i, will
contain Some rejoicing doubtless, the late
Administrations triumphs throughout the country,
and the unuterably humble professions Of per.
feet respect for the viii of the People. Mr.. WEE
sTER's Exchequer scheme will probably be urged,
and we trust will be attentivey examined by Con-
gress. If there is the remotest apparent possibility
that it will do any thing for the relief of the
try, let have 1t by all means. If not, the only
way to convince It's author of the fact may, per-
haps, be to Try it. Let it have at least close and
candid examination, and be tried upon its intrinsic
merits. Should it pass both Houses unanimously, +,
we have no assurance, of course, that John Tyler
would not veto it !; but would not allow fear
of this to Influence legislation. At all events,
let whatever is to be done be done quickly, with
as slight expenditure of time and the Peoples
money as the Peoples servants can conveniently
allow.

8, the Tabernacle on the Origin. Organization
and Ends of Government Few men will agree
with Mr.. BRowssos in all his views, either upon
political, moral. or religious subjects. But none,
we think can deny that his writings and discourses
If they are not the truth, contain, nevertheless,
much that is true. Whatever he says is always
worth hearing, and worth thinking about; and no
rejecting man. with sound judgement and discrim-
ination, can hear and think of what he advances
without eroring and becoming stronger there
upon. He is a man Of most wonderful mental
power of considerable originality, of great ability
in conceiving and clearly presenting the abstract
and general, and of decided though neither smooth
nor graceful, eoquence in his delivery. The
theme he has chosen for discourse tonight is one
that has engaged much of his attention, and con-
cerning which be entertains far more conservative
and substantial opinions than he has generally had
the credit of maintaining He will speak of it with
great earnestness some dogmatism, and in man
ner which cannot fail to interest and instruct all
whe would care to hear him.
We understand that he is to address the Nc
chanics Institute on Wednesday evening.
