E.on the .Nalchiloches Reporte,

The Message Of President Tyler, which we publish
to-day cannot fail 10 arrest the attention of every
reader. In il he frankly dscoses the Tue condition of
the Treasury and the necessities OF the Government
Whatever may be thought of some OF the by-gone
acts of MIR. Tyler it cannot be denied, that he has
now boldly Swallowed out the policy, which IN his OPT
Mon, and that of his cabinet the exigencies OF the
country require.
That the President has had the courage and mag
nanmity to advise the repeal of measure which he
had commended. speaks well for him. Pride OF
opin and obstnacy in in statesmen are often
the origin of immense evils. Wishing to appear in
fallible in wisdom they cling to preconceycd opin-
IONS and often too proud, or too corrupt to &C
knowledge errors of which they know themselves
guilty.
The situation Of the President is one of peculiar
difficulty. Elected the second officer of the Gov
eminent, dispensaon Of Providence, raised him to
the first When he assumed the administration, the
country was in state Of great embarrassment. The
people, by a most triumphant majority, had willed
change of rulers and, of course new system OF pol
icy In shaping that policy, he differed from many
of his friends.-His situation was trying one He
had no party in advance to sustain him, right or
wrong as most Presidents have had he had not that
weight and influence statesman that would brirg
at once, party around him he was sure to be de-
nounced by his party if he differed with its lead
ers and could have reasonable expectation of be-
ing sustained by the party which he had assisted to
defeat further than necessary to accomplish the
breaking up the ranks of its opponents Such was
his situation. He vetoed the Bank Bill His motives
were at once assaed he was denounced as traitor
every opprobrious epithet was bestowed upon him
he was burned in egy, and in the party press, held
up to the people obstacle in the way OF the re-
newed prosperity of the country. Time will show
whether he acted wisely not in the course he took
in regard to that particular measure.
1t is said that he has thrown himself into the arms
of the other party But what the evidence of this
He has cert ny taken from few editors the print
ing of the laws and given il to others less bitter in
their denuncations of him and his cabinet Must he
be required to feed the mouths that every day spit
ting at him Do we expect him to be free from the
common feelings of man. Unsupported as he is by
either Of the great parties into which the country is
divided, common justice requires that his recommen-
datons should be examined by the eye of reason and
! calm reflection, and not with view to condemn them
right or wrong and the good of the country imperi-
ously demands that the two opposing parties should
for while at least lay down their arms, and unite
| in common effort TO rescue the country from the
great difficulties in which it is involved. The PTes
dent and his cabinet only ask for fair trial by their
acts To this they are entitled, and this they will
yet have for a generous people, agitated though
they may be by the spirit of party, will in the end
meet out Justice to their public servants.
1t is too early to canvass for the next Presidency
The people have had agitatn and excitement enough
of late years. and the interest of the country requires
state of repose Things have been viewed long
enought through the medium of party passions it Is
time to look at them in the light of calm reason
Great changes may take place in three years Oul
whole system of national policy may require to be
remodeled in that time, and the man of our present
choice might then be our aversion.
