steam ship Columbia again.

II IS now supposed that the Columbia did moi
leave Liverpool till the 10Th instant, and is conse
quently not yet due. In the winter the con-
tract between Mr.. Cunard and the British Govern
ment, requires but one boat month 10 be despatch
ed, with particular day specified. Therefore, as
the Acadia left on the 10Th OF February, and so long
time as elapsed since the 4th instant, us iair 70
suppose that the Columbia did not start Ill the 18TH
of this month. This appears more pTooaole "nen
we consider tina. the steamers begin running twice
a month during the summer, from april li' now
ever. she did leave, and has met Win no serious
mishap. we may receive her news day by ex-
press from Boston
xmportant Message from President Tyler
prouosed Repeal of the Distribution Law
Increase Of the Tariff II estoratiOn OF the
Public Credit.
At length the President has taken very impor-
tant step towards the restoration of the public Gre
dit and the just principles Of financial system -
Yesterday we received from Washington, his mes
sage, recommending repeal Of the Distribution
Law-ihe increase of the present tariff-and the
creation of national debt, equal 600 O0O for
the purpose of restoring the credit of the govern
ment, and of putting the country, at every point, IN
proper state of defence, menaced as she is, with
war every side.
twill be recollected that last Monday shadow
cd forth this important message, with all It's primer
pal points, intmating that hitherto Messrs Webster,
Spencer had delayed its forthcoming. These mem
bers of the Cabinet have, we suppose given IN their
adhesion TO policy which was loudly called for
a policy alike necessary and great-a policy which
any sensible man would have recommended as the
only remedy for the present degraded condition Of
Itch, fba
again day principally in conse quence Of its great
Importance
And now, since this great, open, noble, and i'm
porant step is taken on the responsibility OF the Pre-.
sident, it may lie asked what will the cliques and
factions in Congress say its recommendations
We anticipate nothing but violence, uproar, oppo-
sition brutal attack, and every species of delay
The present Congress was elected unaer the effects
OF hard cider, hard singing, hard drinking, and hard
things of all kinds Their character aud conduct
correspond with their origin The policy now pro-
posed by John Tyler, in his Message, is the only
course that can be pursued with safety or honor to
the country, but so bitter are the cllques OF Con-
sress 10 this honest chief magistrate, that we are
prepared TO see the ,tyas of both factions raise the
war cry al once.
What, them is to be done in such a crisis! Will
the people longer submit to such folly and perversly'
Is the country be disgraced because the mad spi-
riis of Congress are disappointed Shall the pub
lie credit daily sink in the midst of rich na,ion!-
Are We TO permit the factous spirits of Congress to
disgrace the nation!
Certainly not. Now is the day and the hour for
the great conservative spirit of the people to come
forth a, once. Let the honest republicans of this
city, who want to preserve the reputation and cha
-acsr of the country, come forth, and hold an
overwhelming meeting somewhere up town. Let
every democrat. who wishes we'll to his native or
his adopted land, put his shoulder to the wheel, and
help to give Jog to the car of state which has been
overturned by set of hard cider drinkers, merely
because they wanted to upset the "captain of the
deck"
Now is the time for the conservative republicans,
of all cranes add classes, to organise and make
fresh start. The country wants them.
