THE MESSAGE.

The Message of a President of the United States
is sort of popipjay at which the party marksmen de-
tailed for the service are bound to discharge their
shooting irons, and therefore the able State paper of
which we gave an abstract on Wednesday, will be
assaIIed by weapons of every calbre, from twenty
four FOUNDER To a Chinese finc-cracker. We are in
clned TO think, however, that it will prove invul
nerable old General Jackson's cotton bags of New
Orleans. No man who has any regard for truth, can
aver that it was a party paper Whatever may be
the difference of opinion to the policy recommend
ed rather submitted TO the consideration of Con-
Gress all candid must admit that the of the
document is temperate and dignfed
With the views of the President on the subject Of
he tariff The great body of the people will undoube
ly coincide.

ler not prepared at present expr SIS decid-
ed opinion. 1t looks well on paper and we 10 not
see that places power than is necessary for the
Transaction of the business of the Government in
the hands of the Executive. At all events the nsti-
luton proposed is not To be perpetuated by charter

Congress.
The fact that the expenses of the Government have
been regulated by the stric,est economy fact
which the statistics of the Message demonsra te-re-

Altogether, the Message is calculated to make

We simplicity and planness of expression natural to
an honest man.

THE MESSAGE.

As far public opinion can be ascertaincd without
the prejudice nseparabla from paTtizanshp, the Mes
sage of President Tyler has not only been well re-
ce.ved, but generayif mol unanimously pronounced
wel-~rtten, discreet document, Of perfect BUSH
ness character, throug hout simple and comprehen-
slve, embracing in brief space, without being in
the 'east tedious or prosy, many valuable and i'm
portan suggestions, upon which it is devoulIy hoped
Congress will act in spirit of patriotism and de-
votion to the best interests of the country The
negotiations aud results eff the treaty tn England
set forth in ample DETAIL exhibiting clearly the
advantages gained by the entire negotiation, and
the prospect of long and permanent peace with
that country. When take into consideration the
many unsettled points of difficulty with England
which for years have hung over the Union, dark
enng the horizon, creating constant apprehensions
OF outbreak, and demanding great ulays of pre-
para,ion, cannot be sufficiently thankful that
honorable, if not a triumphant settlement, of all
points in dispute, Mil alIay all apprehensons Of wal
and give US indemnity for the past, and security for
the future. When the violence Of parlIzanship shall
subside, and personal dlsapponments shall have
been forgotten this treaty will constitute bright
era in the administration of President Tyler, and
will long be referred with grateful and considerable
remembrance.
The subject of the tariff is cautiously and JUDI
ciously upproached-the Presi lent is right in beev-
ing the present tariff defective passed it was has
tIy and containing many provisions reg uirlng atera
ton, yet it is questionable short session and
der brief experiment whether tle law be judi
the waTehoasing system will be incredible re,
to importers, and all sides appear TO be in favor.
The Exchequer plan is urged with great earnest
and the condition of the Treasury, the credit of
the MON, and the embarrassnents every where pre-
vaing, are all properly and justly set forth in the
Message and the relief anticipated in the absence of
all other plans is decidedly favor of adopting this
projecl-it will be in fact the great and controlling
measure of the session, and as such will be fully and
doubt not ably discussed. Some of the features
of the plan will doubtless undergo modification
compromise may be made between the project of Mr..
Gushing and that OF Mr.. Tall nadge, which may
lead the passage of bill calculated TO effect great
and desirable objects and secure permanent benefit
and prosperous results to the country, and we
es,y trust and devouy hope that the subject may be
approached in spirit of Cancellation and absence
OF all personal feeling.
No one can rise fom the perusa Of the Message
without conviction that the deslinies of our cou
are confded to honest and safe hands, and no change
possibly better condition give gre ter secu-
rity to the happiness or the people or the security OF
free institutions.

From the Harrisburg Keystone
THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

With view Of laying before our readers the an
nual message of President Tyler, at the earliest pos
sible moment, we have delayed the issue of our pa
per until this friday morning. We have neither
room nor space to indulge in elaborate comment OF
our own, do conceive this necessary, as every
reader will perusc the document for himself, and
form his conclusions. A cursory glance, how
ever constrains to bear testimony to the excel
lence of its and temper, and doubt not il will
fully compare in this respect with any similar State
paper that has preceded 1t.
The recent important treaty between America and
England, constitutes important part OF the Mes
sage The President evidently plumes himself upon
the success which has attended his negotiations with
powerful rival nation, and regards his prevention
of open hostlties the browning act of his admin
istraton. Having ourselves discovered nothing in
the treaty which has compromised the honor and Dig
nifty of the American nation, We, Tor one cherish no
disposition to rob him of the laurels which he prizes
SO highly
The tariff bill Of the late session, the President
says was passed hastily and has numerous defects,
which he thinks be remeded by further lcgsla-
ton He avors the :" warehouse SYSTEM" which
has received the appreciation of many importers, and
recommends 60 moderate rates" as most likely to Sc
cure the acquesccnce of both parties.
The Exchequer plan, which may be truly styled
the most chequred feature in the history of his admin
stration is once more made the subject of elaborate
comment. Whilst we freely accord President Ty-
er full credit for his commendable perseverance,
have not the most distant hope that the heteroge
neous materials composing the present Congress, can
ever be brought to assmllate on this question: in a
sufficient degree to pass any one project into a law

to meet hearty response fron the American people,
