such is not the deduction Of Mr. Tyler; but, instead
of the deficiency of four millions of dollars which he
estimates will exist in si5 there is abundant ground
for the expectation that, with the increase Of trade
consequent upon the improved financial condition OF
all classes of our citizens the amount of revenue de-
| rvabe from this source will be very materially aug
mencd within the next two years. and that the sum
derived from the sale of the public lands will also be
much greater than for several years past. WITH the
same economy, then, in the administration Of affairs
| for the next two years as has been compelled by
Wing Congress to be practsed in the last there's eve
ny to believe that the of the Treas
ury will be equal to all the demands which cam with
proper regard to the public interests, be brought up
on il.
The manner in which the message refers to the
difficulties existing between Mexico and Texas cannot
| fan to receive the unanimous condemnation OF the
American people. That the Executive of this gov
eminent should have INDUCED in the gasconadc with
which this subjects introduced is extremely mortify-
| ing, but that he should also venture upon recon-
mendatlon of our National interference with the nf-
fairs Of other nations, is such disregard of the teach
ngs OF Washington, and of all patriots from him to
| the present time such gross and uncaled for de-
parturc from the cherished policy of The country du
ring every period of our National existence, as could
alone have been perperaled by Tylerlsm, faulty and
| wic,cdness.
The people will never suffer these United States to
be led by Capt. Tyler into the National knight er-
| an,ry suggested in his Message. What if Mexico
| has not, after an eight years warfare with Texas,
acknowledged its independence ? Did not the strife
between Mexico and other Spanish American provin-
ces and their mother country endure Tor much great
! er period OF time without any suggestion of the right
| of interference on our part? We did then as we
have done in relation TO Texas; we acknowledged the
Independence of tho revolted Povlnces and treated
both the old and the new governments neutrals.-
The suggestion that we are become the Quixoitc
Of nations is rdiculously absurd But is useless to
pursue this subject further. As remarked in a for
mer letter. whatsoever John Tyler may recommend
or design IN relation to our foreign AFFAIRS tending in
the least to create difficulty between us and other
| nations IS not OF the least possible moment. Neither
branch OF Congress, l believe, the Senate, know
will under circumstances lend itself any of these
wicked schemes by which Mr. TYLER hopes to build up
a personal party by the sacrifice Of the honor and
| prosperity Of the county
