MESSAGES OF THE PRESIDENT.

We copy to-day two Messages from the President
Of the United States to Congress, of than ordi
nary Importance. The first shows the deplorable
condition OF the Treasury deficit, IN the current
quarter Of more than three millions two hundred
and nifty thousand dollars, and the absolute necessity
OF prompt and adequate action on the part OF Con-
gress. How different is the exhibit made by the Sec
rotary of the Treasury from the condition OF things
promised by the Wings in the canvass OF lS4O The
Treasury is now really empty-and loan OF fifteen
millions 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 for twelve years. securing the payment
OF principal and interest by pledgng distinct source
OF revenue for that purpose"
This we understand 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 Mr.. Forwards policy
to the perpetuaton of the corrupting and unconstl-
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 coasts and Northern and Western frontiers
must be defended. The great channels OF lntercom-
municaton must be improved To accomplish these
objects increased duties absolutely necessary III
intend to prepare for war; with which 1t Is appa-
rent the President believes menaced, (and we
believe oo) cannot fail, in the revision OF the
tariff which must be made, to extend to manufactures
as much protection as any honest man will ask

CONGRESS-.

In the House on Friday, Mr.. Barnard called
up privilege questionable reconsideration OF
the vote referring the claim of Blair & Rlyes to
the Committee on the Judiciary. The motion
for re. consideration prevailed and the claim was
referred to select committee.
Sundry private bills from the Senate were
then read twice and referred. Reports from
committees were received by general consent.
When they were gone through, Mr.. Underwood
attempted to bring up the District Bank bill, but
was unsuccessful.
The House went into Committee OF the
Whole, Mr.. Arnold in the chair, to take up the
private calendar.
Mr.. Mangum reported bill in the Senate yes
terday for the appointment of board OF ten
officers, two from each grade In the navy, to
frame rules and regulations for the government
of that service. After the presentation Of seye-
raj petitions and the reception Of message
from the Executive with reference to our inter
course with Texas, the Senate went into an
Executive session, and subsequently adjourned
until Monday next

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 professed horror for dshonor-
ed crediD they will by means consent to making
any provision for paying the debt This is precisely
like them. A National Debt is ever held by them
National blessing; and they would go on, heaping
debt upon debt, until the independent laborers and
yeomanry Of this country become assimiated to the
taxridden dependent and starving laborers of Great
Britain.
The Treasury Of the nation has become literally
impoverished and the credit of the Government seri-
ously impaired Under such circumstances, the Exc
cutive submits it to Congress- whether the proceeds
of the land sales should not be pledged to the payment
of the interest present debt and be applied 10
its gradual but certain extinguishment. The pro-
ceeds from this source now amount to less than two
millions of dollars, and while this would 60 far in the
object suggested by the Executive, it is well know
that it would prove at best only bone of contention"
in distribution among the States. Mr.. Tyler pre-
sents this matter in forcibe and convincing manner,
and cannot believe that Congress will hesitate in
| complying with bis recommendation.
The idea thrown out in quarters that the land
proceeds cannot be restored to the Treasury without
interfering with permanent protection to American
| industry, is a faacy and an absurdity. The wants
| of Government and the necessary means to put the
country in proper of Defence would require all
the tariff requisite for ample, permanent and equitable
| protection

disrepute abroad, oaoing to the loicked political
heresy o. repsdiation and other causes, without
suffering dishonor TO come TO the very doors of
| the National Treasury Could il not satisfy the
ill feelings of the opponents of captain Tyler"
as the President OF the United States has been
tacetiousLy called, to see him contending against
sea of troubles, produced by other agencies
than his own, without making the honor of the
nation the victim of their pltilul spleen, in or
der that he might be made to appear unworthy
of the dignity with which the hand of Provi-
dence had invested him. 1t is enough to make
every honest American heart sick TO see such
things tolerated in such place, and we are at
loss to find terms adequate to the expression
of our satisfaction at seeing that an end is about
to be put to a condition of affairs at which every
freeman must blush In concluding this article,
we would express hope that the speedy pas
sage of the Loan bill by the Senate will go to
confirm the representations suggested by its
adoption in the House of Representatives. Nor
do we stop here. We must be permitted to in
dulge the expectation that the great questions of
national revenue and defence, of which there
has been such portentous note of preparation,
will be matured and adopted in such form as
shall re-nstate the country permanently on its
former elevated position with reference to Gre
dit and safety.

If Mr. Lane is satisfied as TO this, we are
content. How much more he may approve OF
the conduct of Mr. Weaver, in connexion with
this matter, he will find of the same equality as
that of his resigning, we don't know; probably
all of it is of apiece-and as Mr.. Lane approves
this sample, he will likely enough commend the
whole.
We do not mean, however, TO commit our
selves on this point just yet Mr.. Lane closes
his remarks on this matter by giving prob
lem for solution, viz: eff this supposed case
is founded in truth, what confidence can we
have in Mr.. Webster's recommendation 2" We
will initiate Mr.. Lane in closing in the same
way.
If Nh, Lane finds Mr.. Weaper's conduct so
honest lohat confidence can toe hare IN Mr..

A foretaste of what is to be enjoyed by the
completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal to the
coal region at Cumberland has been administered this
week by the arrival hther of fleet of boats, laden
with the black diamonds of the Allegheny Fifteen
boats freighted with $1,000 bushels of COAL
already arrived, and there many to follow
This coal understand to have been contracted for
by the Government, and presume for the service of
the United States steamers, the Missouri and
Mississippi which vessels under orders for Wash
ngton.
These coal boats these sable argosies, forcrunners
of what must ndisputably be Of the most prosper
trades in the world cannot but be ha led with r
umphant qualification by al classes of citizens,
and should excite them to steady deermin alton to
do whatever may present itself in the way Of forward
ing the desiderated completion of the canal.
We ought perhaps to state that we indebted for
this arrival to the high water in the Potomac between
Cumberland and the head of the Canal, whereby the
rapids of he river comparatively oblterated.

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 national charac-
free and independent nation. Yet up to this
hour, after four months session, what has Con-
gress done? 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
poa0er, capable Of carrying the heauy horse ar
tillery 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 $1,2OO,O 900. The
company to despatch at equal intervals, twice a
month, a steamer to carry the mail to Barba-
does, and thence into the Gulf of Mexico, and
the company to see that the mails were landed
and received at all the different points, including
American ports.
In a fe,O months atter eight of these stu
pendous vessels were at Southampton, ready tc
start In their trials they have displayed amaz-
ing power, none performing less than twelve
knots an hour and one of Them the Clyde, fiji
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
Clyde, treading along our shores, making hel
officers familiar with the entrance to our harbors
while Congress is doing-what?

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The patriotic tone Of this important document ap-
pears to have commanded the respect of those
who opposed to the Executive in politics 1t is
independent, manly and honest. He alludes to the
embarrassed condition of the country, and the cr-
cal state of foreign relations He speaks Of the
abundant of the country and the energy of
our population, with confidence and hope. He re-
commends increase of duties, and repeal of the
Distribution act and after giving his for the
course he recommends, thus concludes his message
"My own views of the measure calculated to effect
this great and desirable object, have thus frankly
expressed to Congress, under circumstances which
give to Congress peculiar andkolemn interest. The
Executive can do If the credit of the country
be exposed to questonif the whole public defences
be broken down weakened--if the whole admins
tration of public affairs be embarrassed, for the want
of the necessary means for conducting them with Wig
and effect trust that this department Of the Co.
vernmen will be found to have done all that was in It's
power to avert such evils and will be acquitted of
| all Just blame on account of them"

headed 'Suspension not Repeal" several ypograph-
ica errors escaped the proof-reader. Many of them
will be at once detected. The following, however
are deemed sufficiently important to be corrected
Instead Of the expression, "ceasng thereby its own
operations upon the occurrence of the contemplated
contingency, repeal is wholly unnecessary -should
read thus "ceasng then by its own operation, upon
the occurrence of the contemplated contingency, a
repeal is wholly unnecessary"
In the sentence, "Any adjustment of the tariff
founded upon deficiency created by the division OF
the proceeds of the public lands would be regarded
as unjust and oppressive" &c.-the word division,
should have been diversion.
In the sentence Immediately preceding, the word
believed is printed for perceived.
