THE MESSAGE.

~ The Presidents Message came TO
hand on Friday morning. As our paper has
to be mailed by O'Clock on that day, we can
only give, this week, the following notice of
it by the Globe:
"The spirit exhibited by the communica-
ton of the President, touching our relations
with Mexico and Texas, is of a very differen
cast from that manifested in his dealings with
the difficulties between the United States aud
Great Britain. If the resolute bearing now
assumed in relation to the prosecution of the
right asserted by Mexico over Texas had been
maintained towards Great Britain when de-
mandlng the dismembernent OF Maine. the
integrity OF our own territory secured by the
Revolution would have been preserved. We
are glad, however, to see the true tone of the
people of this country again resumed by the
executive of the nation, in speaking of foreign
powers.
But, according to the Presidents Message,
our finances are not in very belligetent con-
dion. Ii would seem that, ith an increas-
ed Tariff, we have diminished revenue; and
with enlarged expenditures, a still greater de-
felt of means. And next we are told g there
will be, probably, deficiency for the services
of the fiscal year, ending June 30, lS45, of
upwards Of about four millions;' and debt
of near six millions more, falling due al the
beginning of next year, must also be provided
for
The Executive specific for all this is a con-
tInenlal paper money, in notes running down
20 five dollars, to be paid out to circulate
among The people, to the amount OF fifteen
millions. Like France, when she issued
her asSignats, our Administration is opposed
to the Increase Of loans, particularly in time of
peace!. All membranes eau be cleared off
by substituting paper for "a specie currency. !!
In connexIon with this scheme OF ss grand
tinanciering," the renounced exchequer plan
of bankingis again recommended -
In relation to the Texas question, the Pre-
sident among other things, says:
II communicate herewith certain dispatches
received from our Minister at Mexico, and
also correspondence which has recently oc-
cured between the Envoy from that Republic
and the Secretary of State. 1t must be re-
garded as not Il little extraordinary that the
Government of Mexico, in anticipation of a
public discussion, which it has been pleased
to infer from newspaper publications, as like
Iy to take place in Congress, relating to the
annexation Of Texas to the United States,
should have so far anticipated the result OF
such discussion as to have announced its de-
termination to visit any such antic ipated de-
cision by formal declaration of war against
the United Staes.--If designed to prevent
Congress from introducing tha, question:, as
a fit subject for It's calm delberation and final
Judgment, the Executive has no reason to
doubt that it viii entirely fail of its object.
The Representatives. Of a brave and patriotic
people will suffer no apprehension of future
consequences to embarrass them in the course
oi their srnposed deliberations. Nor will the
Executive Department of the Government
fail, Tor any such cause, to discharge its whole
duty to the county,
So that ii will be seen be does not recon-
mend the annexation, but plainly shews that
he thinks the subject ought to occupy the at
tention of Congress.
