dcd from our columns For this we have no
apologies in make, as ve suppose our wh'g
friends at least.are all anxious To see the last!
message that John Tyler will probably ever
send TO an American Congress.
With the introductory congraiula'ory re.
marks OF the President, IN reference to the
present happy condition, and future desinies
Of this grea, nation, We have nothing to say
nor shall we dwell upon his remarks in reia
ton to our foreign affairs, upon which subject
much is said, though II would appear that but
little change, il any, has occurred since the
last session Of Congress. ], viii be seen
,hsi although the Oregon question has be-
come a subject OF formal negotiation between
lne English and American Governments,
and with hittering prospect OF a happy is
sue. yet Notwithstanding this, the President
again urges the establishment Of military posts
along the route 10 Oregon and for the more
perfect protection Of the American Emigr ants
already settled there.
/ The great and all. absorbing theme, how
ever. OF this document, is Texas and its an
nexaiion. This, being the Presidents own
peculiar thunder, is made 10 roar sublimely
[ and in a manner well calculated to inspire
the hope and tickle the itching palm of the
'chivalric' and lofty Southern Slave ven6er [;
and give new zeal to the patriotic locofocos of
iheNor,h who have now become their Fl, dupes
and who all at once see such bright visions
Of glory and honor in union, where but n

in view Of the anticipated innumerable
blessings that are to follow this connection.

scheme is evidently placed upon another
ground and his GROWING argument nou
is, tina, in the last election, the great Amer
lean people have 'emptaiiealiy declared
themselves in favor of this measure This
