ANOTHER MESSAGE.

| President Tyler has sent another Message TO
Congress recommending m increase ofthe Tain
81 n repeal OF The Land Bill TO make room for
the TeAican news and other matters are obliged
to omit the more un;mportant portions ofthe Mes
sage. As TO the recommendation ofRepeal, we con
with tho Tribune, and mos: ardently hope that
this suggestion will not be carried into effect. Such
a STEP once taken, Gun never be retraced; for the
new apportionment under The census Of iS40 will
give SO overwhelming an increase ofstrength IN the
House to the new States, that the Public Lands,
will by Graduation, Cesson, or still looser Pre-
emplion Laws, be wrested entirely from the old
States within five years, and given up to those in
which they severally lie. Regarding this as a
question Of securing alternating from the old
States q vast domain Which is justly their own
theirs 10y trial, suffering, blood and victory-we
cannot concur in any measure which shall operate
20 weaken the tenure by which they now hold
them.
This is but ono Of many objections to the Repeal
of the Distribution Law. We object, at the out
SET TO any system Of Finance which shall leave
the Government to subssl out of its proporty-to
live, like spendthrift, by cutting down his tim
Der and selling acre after acre ofhis estate This
policy we can never occur in There is no need
Off Put up the Tariff, so TO afford adequate
protection to our Home Industry, and there will
be no need Of recalling the Land Distribution
Let Congress but do this, and the dishonest States
will be deprived of the argument Of necessity for
The dsgraceful Reputation Of their heavy respon
sibilities.

WHY DON'T CONGRESS DOITi

This question, with shameful efTrontcry, is ask,
cd by some Of the locofoco papers, in reference to
Congress and Tariff. They say that the Wings
have majority in Congress, and inquire why they
do not impose Tariff! They very well know
that a portion of the Southern Wings ocofoco
on the Tariff question, and vote with the Northern
locos upon every question touching Protective
TarIff,-and ihus, by this union, the Wings are
thrown into minority or have been, in Congress
This the Northern locofocos have done on every
question relating I, tie subject They vote against
even an inquiry upon the subject. And if tho loco
focos were not against Tariff, why do they vote
thus, we would inquired
The Wings in Congress gaining ground eve
ry day in their attempts to bring into this measure
portion, at least, of the Southern Wings. They
do not expect any help, but coniipued and uncom-
promising opposition from the Locofocos They
will in all probability succeed in their object but
they have first 10 put down locofpco and Southern
opposition, Ii the Northern locos were not oppo.
sed toa Protective Tariff, Congress would establish
one in less than two weeks.

more absolute, his sway was omnipolent. In a
certain rhapsody before the alumni Of Princeton
College, he surveyed the servi!e rout, as they pas

its FIVE millions of capital, has just followed in the
footsteps of its illusrlous predecessor; Others
