PRESIDENT TYLER'S MESSAGE.

This document was laid before citizens pretty
generally on Monday morning. through the Cincn-
natl dalies, which now appear to share 50 largely in
their affections. Knowing II would be circulated
through those channel. before could possibly put
it in type, we made attempt tosue il prior TO
regular publication day.
he Message is plain, state.manlke document,
bri,dy and concisey despatchng each subject requr
ing notice Mr.. Tyler's remarks IN Grafton TO Ore
gon and Texas, are sufficiently firm and decided ;
though disposed TO find fault because he does
not explicitly declare himself in favor Of annexing the
lauer- thing we had no right to Expect he would
do. On all except these two subjects he presents
very favorable state Of things The country is in a
prosperous condition-the Government in a sound
and healthy state 10 all Ifs departments. Under his
administration the Florida war has been ended-an
important treaty concluded with Great Britain-the
currency been improyed-ihe credit OF the Govern
ment restored-and now every thing looms up auspi-
olousy for the future In short, If the politicians Of
the day will not award Justice TO John Tyler
John Tyler appear fully determined to do justice to
himself
