Then let US not be hereafter told that 1t is
beyond the sphere of the national Government
to guarantee TO the country a sound currency
\ and that, in looking to it for that result "the
people expect too much Of the government.
This certainly knocks the props from under the
"diyorce OF bank and state" dogma, that the
federal government is competent to provide no
remedy for the huctuating issues OF State
banks.
| With regard 10 any modification Of the pre-
sent tariff, or a continuation of it as it is, Mr..
TYLER is as silent as MIR. Polk was during the
late canvass. Indeed he fights shy OF the sub
iect, and it is some what singular fact that the
word tariff does not once occur in his Message.
save when he employs it TO designate letter
hostage. After dissertation upon the evils OF
surplus of revenue, he winds up with the old
saw ",ha, no greater taxes should be imposed
han are necessary for an economical admins
traon Of the Government, and that whatever
exists beyond should be reduced or modified
principal admitted by all parties at the presen'
day. The President is equally shy of the word
protection. The nearest squint a, it, is the fol.
lowing sentence:
"This doctrine Chat of having no surplus)
does in no way conflict with the exercise Of
sound discrimination in the selection Of the arti.
cles to be taxed. which due regard to the pub.
lie veal would at all times suggest to the Legis.
,ature mind. 1t leaves the range of selection
underlined; and such selections should always be
made 10Th an eye TO the great interests Of the
country"
This, witkou, additional explanation, is Of
course very indefinite; or, in other words, much
Ike Col. Folks Pennsylvania letter.

d amount Of nearly S5O0,OOO- another relic
" the preceding Locofoco dynasty. BY the fourt
g of arch rext we are told' it vii be free froi
e debt. THIS Improvement will Of course
10 heard with pleasure by all. Now if Mr.. Pc
y will effect an additional reformation in tn
u branch Of the public service, by turning out
o. few Of the trifling subordinates promoted to c
Oh fee by Mr.. Tyler, and supplying their plac

" enough to understand their duties,-fdelity
to discharge them, and a little more regard +

mo MIR. Tyler highly extols the members OF
e.. cabinet for the aid they have rendered him

A"u shment Of line Of steamships to transport

over our own waters, is recommended; and
~ President winds up his message by consol
