In its present condition. to raise money enough upon
| the reduced inpotauons, with any revenue, wh Gu
may defeat itself TO meet the estimated expense "l
81 millions with the aid of the millions from
the public lands supposlng them to be the most &C
lively thrown into market. Unless cut down
those expenses the fear is, that shall be obliged tn
lay direct tax, or to run deeper into debt.
We admire, therefore, the course which Mr.. Tyler
has pursued add enlightened people Ill stand by
him. The Republic party has already given an
earnest of their feelings the thrilling speeches OF
Messrs. Holmes, Weller, Rhett, Pickens, w Smith,
Hunter and Saunders OF the House, and Walker,
of the Senate. We approve the admirable message,
IN which he las declared the principles on which he
acts. We know, that John Tyler will not veer from
that determination, and that he will support he Com
promise of 33, the act of Al, and The interests OF
The Treasury. Let the Wings attempt to head him
with heir unavaIling devices. Let them seek to pile
Veto upon Veto. MIR. Tyler will not shrink from
the duty which he to his country. He will eto
any general Tariff bill, which uniies Distribution
and the Tariff. But, the Madisonian says, "Pass
just Tariff bill by hself-,he President will sign
such BILL" The Republican party will assist In
passing such bill. Their will be, to cul
down the expenses of the Government low as po'-
sible-estlmate the amount which Is to ralsed-then
count the avas of the public lands the most rea-
sonabe maximum throw them back into the Trea-
suyand then raise the duties to The effective point,

that these dulies will amount TO sufficient protection
for their interests, be it We shall mol be the first
man to hit a finger against 1t.
We call then, upon Congress to do their duty-to
pass such hills as Mr. Woodbury. proposes to move
all doubt about the power to collect duIes and to Tx
the home valuation by certain uniform standard.
We call upon the Republican party to preserve the
Compromise act, (now that the manufactures have
enjoyed all its benefits (and toe act of Al and to
preserve the proceeds of the public lands for an ex-
hausled Treasury We call upon their wisest men to
meet together, and consult (even in caucus, as the
Wings wont to, and TO move with united coun-
ellis We call upon them TO unite with the more pro-
dent part of the Wings who will not sacrifice every
thing to the mad designs of iacous polnicians-and
devise "just Tariff by itself'-and tariff adequate,
In conjunction with the public lands, to pay the deb
and meet the necessary expenses OF the Government
Be firm, yet conciliaory Abandon not atom OF
your principles your rights but satisfy the North
ern and Eastern Wings even, if you can administer
any balm to Glead. At all events satisfy generous
people, that if the mad caps who consulting the
ambition of their leader and the views of their party
are willing to sacrifice every thing else, the Compro-
mise of 49, the pledges of AL the credit of the Trea
sury The interests of the manufac urers, to the
principle of Distribution that the prudent OF Con-
gress are determined TO do their duty, and the
ship from the breakers. Be firm, and the people will
stand by you.
