o. We cumber our columns this week with Mr.
John Tyler's last Message, which.-though per
ss, Il il hardly worth perusal,--a the official
communication Of the President Of the United
States, Is entitled to all the consideration due to
the accidental occupant of the Executive Chair
The general impression now at Washington is, that
the annexation Of Texas cannot be carried through
during the present winter, and that the captain will
have to return to private life, without consumma-
ting the nefarious scheme

Boon's Lick times. [volume] (Fayette, Mo.) 1840-1848, 1844-05-04

The 10th section of the bill provides that,
after the LIST of September. lS45, all the du-
ties above 25 per cent. is TO be reduced TO
that horizontal standard, 25 per cent.
sin 1912, we imported more than four
millions of gallons of wine, and nearly two
million gallons of distilled spirits. England
imposes 2,7OO per cent. duty on our whis-
KEY, and we, by way of reciprocity, now
propose 10 reduce our duties on English and
Irish whskey l,65O,OOO gallons of which,
with other distilled spirits, was imported in
lS42) TO a mere nominal duty! The duty
of 25 cents on wheat would also be affected
This bill brings all duties above 80 per cent
"a horizontal tariff, except on few sPe-
cifc articles; and in one year more, IT
brings the duties down to 25 per cent, dis
eliminating for revenue below that stan
dard. This was bringing it nearly down
to Mr.. Van Buren's standard, established in
his famous Indiana letter. His maximum
25 per cent. till the debt was paid, and then
90 per cent, discriminating for revenue be-
low that amount, but in no case above it
for protection. This was Mr.. Van Buren's
plan, as laid down in that letter, TO which
he referred gentlemen who might be dis
posed to doubtit
Here Mr.. s. was interrupted by call to
order from Van Buren, man. ....
Mr.. S. said gentlemen seemed very soil
citous about order when their favorite men
and measures were assailed, but nothing
was out of order when it suited their pur-
pose. Why was not the gentleman from
Ohio (Mr. Duncan) called to order, when,
on bill TO fix the time of holding elections,
he had introduced coon, dead coon, and
had dissected it professionally, discussed il
scientifically, inside and out; he had intro
duced all the WING banners and flags of the
campaign of lS4O, and displayed them with
great pomp, circumstance and ceremony;
and all this, in the estimation of gentlemen
and Of the Chair, was then perfectly in
order. o.. ....
Distribution Advocated.
From recent intelligence, coming in from
all quarters, il is now manifest that we shall
have a surplus revenue at the end Of the
year, independent of the proceeds of the
public lands. If then the tariff yields rev

sell, that gives it consequence, influential
as that gentleman certainly is /; but it is
well understood here that he speaks not
merely for himself, but for nearly the en-
tire of the conservative pariy-that party
which. in 1910. threw its weight on the
side of The Wings, and helped to swell the
civic triumph of Gen. Harrison but
which has since been considered as lean
ing towards its first love, ifno actually

Ii is also understood here that the admin

NJ. Rives, and give It's remaining inHu'
ence, small though il he, for Mr. Clay To
this course, Mr. Webster has already
pledged himself; and Spencer is begging
hard 10 be taken again into the Wing
ranks. How sincere he is in this matter,
beyond his hopes of being confirmed 10 the
Supreme Bench, you can judge quite as
well as | caH.
The President himself, having from ne
cessiry, "put away ambition, that is,
having given up all hope of obtaining a
nomination from either party for re.elect'
ion to the place he now fills, makes himself
very comfortable about political matters,
and says, she don't care which party is in
the ascendant" The leading democrats,
he says. have deceived him in order to OBJ.
tain office, and the Wings have abused
him because he chose to turn his back up
on them after they had elected him. He
says, however, he will turn no more Wings
from office, even if they smell as strong of
Clay as an unburnt brick; and that, if the
Senate does not confirm his democratic
nominations, he will give them new set
of Wings. There are, however, some con-
siderations which induce the Senate to
move very cautiously. Plots and counter
plots are the order of the day. The Pres
ident's seeming acquiescence TO the wish
es of the Senate is viewed with distrust
and suspicion. The creatures who hang
and fawn around him are known to be
wholly mercenary and unprincipled and
depend upon it Mr. Tyler's professions at
this day will not be trusted farther than
the length Of his nose.
