NATIONAL DEFENCE AND STEAM.

The vast benefit TO be derived from the appli-
cation of steam TO our national defences, has
been set forth by the master mind at the head
of the Navy Department. Mr.. Upshur has
grasped the whole subject of our naval means
power, and defences, with vigor and compre-
hensiveness suited to its Importance, and to the
crisis for IL is a crisis in our national charac-
ter and history--if not in our eristence as a
free and independent nation. Yet up TO this
hour, after four months session, what has Con
gress done2 Not a single steamer, as before
said, have we, adapted to the navigation OF
Southern waters. Now compare this apathy
with the forecast and vigor of England
Just twelve months have elapsed since the
British Government made contract with the
Royal Mail Steam Navigation Company, under
which it engaged to organize line of steam
packets for the West Indies, to consist of four
teen large steamers, each four hundred horse
poloer, capable of carrying The heapy horse ar
hHery, now in use-all to be completely formed
and to be commanded by British naval officers
The Government contracted, on its part, to pay
to the company annually $1,200,000. TIL.
company to despatch at equal intervals, twice q
month, steamer to carry the mail to Barba
does, and thence into the Gulf of Mexico, an(
the company to see that the mails were landeG
and received at all the different points, including
american ports.
In a tep months after, eight Of these stu
pendous vessels were al Southampton, ready tt
start. In their trials they have displayed amaz
ing power, none performing less than twelve
knots an hour; and one of them, the Clyde, ff
teen! The remaining six were at Southamp
ton by the 18th January, being less than ter
months after the date of the contract
We have already seen one OF these, the

MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.

We copy to-day two Messages from the President
OF the United States TO Congress- OF more than orui
nary Importance. The first shows the deploraDie
condition OF the Treasury deficit, IN me cnITe'u
quarter, of more than three millions two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and the absolute necessity
Of prompt and adequate action on the part oil Con
gress How different is the exhibit made by the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury from the condition oil things
promised by the Wings in the canvass OF lo4O! Inc
Treasury is now really empty-and loan OF hiteeh
millions is admitted to be necessary to meet the cur
rent expenses of the present year.
To replenish the Treasury the President recon-
mends revision of the tariff, increased duties on
imports; and in the mean time his Secretary recon-
mends loan fortwelve years, Securing the payment
OF principal and interest by pedging distinct source
of revenue for that purpose"
This we understand as proposition, OH the part Of
Mr.. Forward, to repeal the Distribution act, and
pledge the proceeds of the sales of the public lands
for the payment of the proposed fifteen million loan
for twelve years; and much as we deprecate the
proposition to create permanent national DEBT we
would prefer the adoption of MIR Forwards pohcy
to the perpetuaton of the corruping and unconsti-
tutional distribution law.
The positions taken by the President are strong.
He speaks in reference to the necessity OF preparing
for the defence of the country, in tone which VIII
meet warm response in the heart OF every patriot.
Our sea coasts and Northern and Western frontiers
must be defended. The great channels OF lntercom-
munication must be improved. To accomplish these
objects increased duties are absolutely necessary II
intend to prepare for war, with which It is aPpa-
rent the President believes are menaced, (and we
believe so too,) cannot fail in the revision oil the
tariff which must be made, to extend to manufactures
as much protection as any honest man will ask

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Message of President Tyler meets the appro-
baton of the Clay press, far as the Recommended
ton of funding National Debt of fifteen millions
goes; but with all their proessed horror for dishonor
ed credi) they will by no means consent to making
any provision for paying the debt This is precisely
like them. A National Debt is ever held by them as
National blessing; and they would 60 on, heaping
debt upon debt, until the independent aborers and
yeomanry of this country become assmilated to the
tax ridden dependent and starving laborers Of Great
Britain.
The Treasury of the nation has become literally
impoverished and the credit Of the Government seri-
ousy impaired Under such circumstances, the Exc
cutive submits il to Congress, whether the proceeds
of the land sales should not be pledged to the payment
Of the interest our present debt and be applied TO
its gradual but certain REIMBURSEMENT. The pro-
ceeds from this source amount to less than two
millions of dollars and while this would go far in the
object suggested by the Executive it is well know
that would prove at best only "bone of contention
in distribution among the States. Mr.. Tyler pre-
sens this matter in forcibe and convincing manner
and we cannot believe that Congress will hesitate in
complying with his recommendation.
The idea thrown out in some quarters that the land
proceeds cannot be restored the Treasury without
interfering with permanent protection to American
industry, is faacy and an absurdity. The wants
of Government and the necessary means to put the
country in proper STATE of defence would require all
the tariff requisite for ample, permanent and equitable
protection.
