About the Presidents Message.'
Our paper las. week was almost Who'll
y occupied by Tyler'e last Message. We
had no time or room TO make ANY com
ment, and now in lieu of any remarks of
cur own, we will clip from some of our
contemporaries.
From The Baltimore Patriot.
yin closing this notice of Mr.. 1'yler's
annual message, we canno, let the oppor-
tanity pass, to congratulate the country
npon the fact, that 1t is the las, which
shall ever come from that arch-polnical-
traitor. We derive great consolation.

and are threatening this Union, in know.
ing that 1'yerism is ncarl is end; and tina,
whatever other evils may belidc, none so
odlous in all its aspects, none so degrad-
ing in all its acts, none SO base IN all It's
designs, Can ever come upon us equal to
it.
We shall esteem it as blessing when
the fourth of March arrives; for Though il
brings Loco!ocoism into power, it, u, the

Mr.. Tyler goes into retirement. His

bring down upon him from the homes. men

From the .Nf,c York Express,

From The Baltimore american.
There is one remarkable pas
page i'll this connection which we cannot |
but quote. "'lhe two Governments hav-

would recommend their adoption by
Congress in the form Of joint resolu-

The two organs here alluded 10 are
