THE PRESIpENToS MESSAGE.
SATURDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 10, Ist

We observe in this Document nothing new, or
deserving of especial comment. 1t glorilies, as a
matter of course, the Treaty concluded with Great
Britain, but removes none of the objections TO that
Treaty, and gives satisfactory information
in regard to the other important matters in con.
troversy, which were adjourned over to more
convenient season. But the country cannot help
itself now, and must abour to make the most of
bad bargain.
The finances and the Tariff are very briefly
touched upon but the views expressed are neither
original nor important.
The Exchequer is the great and absorbing to-
pic of the Message. As it is the same scheme
recommended during the last session, we have
merely repetition of the arguments then en-
ployed in its favour No new lights-no sugres.
tons for obviating the many strong objections
which have been urged against it. 1t is still
whatever may be said 10 the contrary, stupen-
dous Government Bank, capable Of subjecting the
whole monetary affairs of the country, to the Fed
eral Executive and his creatures. On this point
we copy and adopt the views of the Baltimore
American.
The Message concludes with recommending
that the fine imposed on Gen. Jackson, at New
Orleans, be refunded. OF the taste of such a
recommendation, we say nothing. If the old
man wants The money, let him have it. A few
thousand dollars will not ruin the country; and it
viii probably be more economical to grant the
money forthwith, than to annoy Congress with
II for years But is it moi strange, that if this fine
was unlustly imposed, il had not been RENTED
during the 30 years which have elapsed That
no one ever mentioned it, or said word against
