From The No'1oieh on ~ Journal
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We anticipate our usual day Of publication, to lay
this always interesting document before our readers
Ii 10 written in a clear and forcible style and sue
clnctly lays before the people the situation Of the
country, its foreign and domestic relations.
We like his remarks in relation to Oregon, partic.
uarly. No nation must be permitted to assn ne iu
rlsd'ction over that territory. Our limits bound.
ed only by the Pacific, on the west. 1t will not be
safe TO allow the British Government TO obtain per-
manent foothold there. If negotiation will not put
stop to their encroachments, force must. If fair
words will not clear them out, let the backwoods ri
flies speak they have shrill voice which is very pen
etrang when addressed TO the heart But there will
be necessity for this. Firmness on our part will
put end to the contest
II will be seen that the high tariff has had the eff
feet so far to enbarrass foreign commerce. that
the revenue falls short. How is the Government to
be supported BY direct taxationi We doubt whether
the people will be willing long to submit TO such a
policy, TO build up any special interest.
Our relations with all foreign countries are in an
amicabe state, with the exception Of Mexico; and in
relation TO that power the language Of the President
is such as becomes tho head of the Republic
We have no doubt the President by &C ideni las the
Wings say will worry through his term tolerably
well, and come of with much more honor than he
would have done, had he suffered himself to be
drawn into tie policy of Henry Clay, and been kept
in leading strings for fur years, and employed in
cushoning the Presidential chair for the "m-boy Of
the slashes.'

There may be other minor objections 10 the prop0-
sition but we have stated the principal ones and it
cannot fail 10 be observed that they either from
those who have hatred Of Southern men and insli-
tutions, or who welded TO Atlantic interests and
policy and have mean ds'rust of Southern inhu-
ence in opposition to these peculiar interests again
the overs of he National Government, and honest
ly think that our territory is ar ady large enough.
Continual rumors reach US, with what degree of
truth for their foundation we know not, of the n-
uguing and plotting of England, to obtain footing
in Texas al least TO establish for themselves
trolling influence in that country and IL behooves us,
at all events, to watch, with Argus eyes, the move
ments of hat subtle and scheming government upon
our borders, and if necessary to take to meet
and oreStall her insidious policy in regard 10 U.S.
England not only sees in US dangerous rival IN all
that relates to commerce, manufacturer and the arts,
but The successful working ofour Democratic forms of
Government Is becoming dangerous, in example, to
the existence of her corrupt and boated aristocIac
Institutions and as an appeal TO arms, for subju.
CATION, is out Of the question: for she has tried that
experiment in infancy and signally failed, her
resort will evidently be- in accordance with her
tions, to undermine and weaken if possible, our insti-
tutions, by attempting, in soi.e degree TO give
dir, ction TO their action, and by sowing the seeds
of dscoTd among ouIse!ves-o destroy our trade
and commerce. by all manner Of restrictions and
the assumption Of unwaIrantable powers, under
whatever preteXt, upon the high seas, and by gaining
the ports and markets of the world. And how can
she readily effect her objects by gaining foot
hold Immediately on all sides of US Her Canadian
colonies adjon on the northeast, where stolen and
runaway negroes formed into black corps, and
like cohorts are kept in the West India islands, to be
thrown upon Southern frontier in case of actual
| collision-her agents in the occupancy Of, and
she Is setting up claim to territory of Oregon
on the west-her emf sares are amongst us, engaged
in tanning the flame of abolitionsIn in order to Gre
ate heart burnngs and hostile feelings between one
portion Of our people and another and thus weaken
the bonds of the Union of the States upon which in
great measure, depends the prosperity of our free
Government and we are sorry to say that in this
nefalous business many ready tools TO be found
among our people. She has also sought to in
cial concerns and now if there is any truth in re-
ports the subject, is seeking to possess herself of
the country of Texas our Southern border as the
means OF further annoyance, which in our opinion
forms strong and almost insurmouLtable reason for
the annexation of Texas to the territory and Govern
ment of the United States if an amcabe and salts
factory arrangement can be made for that purpose
