PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
From the Nat. hsiclligencer,
l2th april.

/" We cannot let this
Message 60 to our readers
without taking occasion to
express the qualification
which the perusal, Of it
has afforded 10 US, not only
on account of the sound
ness Of the principles
which it lays down, SO
worthy Of the high sta
ton occupied by its au-
thor, but on account also
Of the frank anil satisfac-
tory explanation which il
affords of the Presidents
conduct in regard to the
unhappy conflict in Rhode
Island. This explanation
was the more necessary,
from his course having
been heretofore somew hat
misunderstood and the
President cannot but feel
Obliged TO tho mover Of The
resolution, whatever his
motive may have been,
for afording him so favor-
able an opportunity for
doing justice to his own
motives and conduct
This he appears TO US to
have done effectually.-
He had taken, it appears,
all proper measures for the
interposition of the Gene
raj Government, had cir
cumstances made such in
terposi,ion an inevitable
duty; and we should
think, now that all ex-
element on the subject
has nearly subsidized,
there can be very few who
will not rejoice.

press the opinions and feelings Of the Democracy in
relation to the alIabsorb ng subject of National
Bank" You will perceive, sir, from the revolutions
that in honoring John Tyler for the manly and indie
pendent course which he has pursued, we have not
forgotten him who in the warfare Of 1892 and 1884,
against the Bank, led US onward 10 a. glorious and
lasting victory. The fruits of that victory and of
your services we are now enjoying. And on this ac-
count the Democracy of New York. as you will per
cove from the enclosed proceedings, most respect
fully congratulate you.
As the representatives Oft o Convention, we have
the honor to tender you the congratulations of the
corruptible and lion-hearted Democracy Of the city
Of New York. In the Language Of their resolutions,
the veto Of John Tyler is triumph ofthe great prin-
cpes you nobly and ably vindicated in your veto
message OF 1892" To you, sir, not only the Demo
cracy in partisan sense, but the Democracy Of the
country in every sense, cSk their jss1er ia The
great war which the people are waging against eve
~ form Of governmental tyranny or OPPRESSION
We adopt as the motto of our faith your own memo
rable language: I" II is not in splendid Govern
ment, supported by powerful monopolies or arsto-
cratlca establishments that the people will ind happ-
ness or their liberties protection; but in plain sys
tenn, devoid of all pomp, protecting all and granting
fayors to none dispensing its blessings, like the dews
of heaven, unseen and unelt, save in the freshness
and beauty they contribute 10 produce"
These, SIT, are not only your sentiments, but those
of the American people. Upon their triumph we con-
graduate you. Thomas Jefferson is no longer with
US. Permit your countrymen, and in behalf of
the New York Democracy, to regard you the Pa
tTiarch Of that noble bro herhood of the friends of
popular freedom, Of which all proud to be even
the humbes members.
In conclusion, sir in behalf of the thousands who
were with us on Tuesday night we wish you length
Of days, acontinuance Of that popular affection which
has always followed you in your eventual and check
cred career and the full measure of happiness which
il is impossible in this world for man t, enjoy.

DIR. NELSON Is DEAD

DR.. David Nelson, the founder and
head Of The Mission Institute, Quincy, Ii.
Iinois, died the l6.h of October. OF npop!exy.
Dr.. n was nalive Of Virginia, but re-
sided many years in Tennessee, where he
prac.isvd as a physician. He was al this
lime a bold in6de. Ga embracing the
Christian faith, which he did with his
whole soul, he commenced preaching The
gospel, and became pastor of the PreSby-
lerian church at Dlnviile, Kentucky. He
was famous for his revival labors in thai
State and in East Tennessee. Aboutthir'
teen years ago he removed to Missouri,
where he became warmly interested in the
manual labor system OF education, and
founded Marion College for this object, --
After the abolition movement had gained
considerable Influence, he embraced it,
and was driven from Missouri to Illinois,
where he established the Mission institute.
He had long been subject 10 epilepsy,
which he kept under by rigid diet, but
1t gradually weakened his mind, and at
length it overpowered him, at the age, we
believe. OF about 81 years.
Dr.. Nelson was man OF extraordinary
intellectual acumen, as his great work Of
InfJeIity will show; while in his manners
he possessed the simplicity of a child
His afectionate and earnest persuasions
have led very, very many persons all
over the Union 10 embrace the religion Of
Jesus as the guide of thei: lives and their
hope for eternity. Few men so we'll I'M
ders.ood how to fad the joints in the har-
ness, through which the arrows Of truth
might penetrate. Eccentric in manners
in many respects, and by no means free
from imperfactions, we believe he was one
of the great and good mea of the age

GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.

"Two PREACHERS ARRESTED FOR
STEALING, CoUNTERFEITING, &c.-The
|Cinciunali Bulletin relates the case of two
preachers, named Coffee and White, who
Were arrested at Mount Sterling, Ky, on
the charge of stealing and counterfei!ing.
They were preaching when they were ar
rested, at camp meeting, and some of the
stolen goods were recognized as forming
ia part of the dress of Mr.. Coffee's daugh-
ter, who was present. Coffee was requr-
ed TO give bail in $500 10 answer at court.
Subsequently he was required 10 add
$1,000 bail, making $500, in all, dis
closure having been made duplicating him
deeply with set of villains who iufesl
that country, and live in the caves, &c. so
Numerous ia those paris. GA the day fol-
lowing the arrest of Coffee, the Rev. Mr..
White was taken from the pulpit at the
same place, charged with being parlaceps
cr;mtntS. A large amount of counterfeit
money was found upon him."
We should think that those who object
to Withdrawing Christian fellowship from
Shareholders, because they have among
them many good men, and ministers 100,
would fad good excuse in the above for
not disfeIlowshpping thieves and counter.
fellers. Il is probable that these reverend
gentlemen, Coffee and White, were reg
ularly ordained, and made as good preten-
sicns to piely as the generality Of slave
holders; and it is probable, from the cir
cumstances mentioned, that large part
of the community ympathized with them,
possibly many Of them belonged 10 the
churches in regular Standing, and Proba
bly, would have protested as solemnIy and
ponsIy against casting thieves and coun'
tertei'crs out Of the church, as their North.
ern defenders do against cutting off their
slaveholGing brethren. We uI!ude TO
these facts to show that it is not an impos-
sible thing for those guilty. Of the worst
practices to profess to be Christians, and
possibly deceive their fellow creatures and
themselves also and that the character Of
people can be better understood from their
practices than from their Professions
