testify 10 his "per>ona integrity" Their asser
tons are regarded as the passing wind by IN
two Whiq organs Of this city, which INSIST uf
on il with a per,naciy unequaIled By their po
litjcal associates, North or South, that The Pre-
sden, has war;only involved the country in wal
for The ieooble purpose of fcs,ing himself into la
White House, a second time. Indeed, Inc lime

an article from Inc Paris .barHai des Deda's ih'
organ of Mr. Balance OF Power Gu'zot, as
sailing The Presijeni-lhough il had mol seen ~
Message, or the impresnable grounds upor
which i, was based. The chief contributor Z
this organ OF the French Government and not
the people, whose sympaihies are with us, is M
Chevalier, who once travelled IN this country
and. since his return 10 France, has been assidu
onsly engaged in slandering our institutions
He violently assailed General Jackson Tor ms
struggle with The United States Bank even
did not spare The old Hero, when his venerable
remains were committed 10 the earth. But, IN
throwing nettlcs on The grave OF Jackson, he vir-
legins that his greatest fault was an ffh''s q
2of,ict,sm, or 100 much devotion 10 The rish's OF
the people. Assaults from such source CANNOT
essentially benefit The Wing press, in their war
fare upon the President
ay Yesterday mornings mail We received some
evidence of what is said OF the message 10y me
Wings OF New Orleans; city as deeply 'nter-
esied in peace and commercial transactions, es-
pecially in cotton, as our own city IL VIII oe
seen that they Judge much more avorab'y OF Inc
President Than do the Wings of Richmond, IL we
are 10 regard The Wing papers the true organs oil
public sentiment here. This We are induced 70
doubt-for NC know many Wings, who agree
with Messrs. Archer and Maneum in their aP-
probation ofhe Message.
The n. O. Correspondent Of the Mobile Adj
vertiser, Ia rabii Wing papsrD says:
an nv letter Yesterday, did not mention in
what estimation the late message was held by
The citizens OF this place. As far as can Judge,
ii is generally approved of except IN lhose Por-
lions relating 10 the Tariff and The Constitution
al Treasury" scheme Tic Presidents e0ose IN
he Oregon question meets ,riM TIC aprorni of pu5-
he opaion generally. There are So1ie exceptions,
i, is true. Our friends Of the Bee | perceive,
have some little caviling at this part OF The docn-
mep,. but as genera fact, as far as have been
able 10 discover, he UhigS ofttis c'tygtre nclr
hearty concurrence
The y. q. Commercial Times neutral jour
nal, and the able organ Of the commercial classes
Of the grea, Southern Emporium, pays The lol-
lowing exalted tribute 10 The President. Coming
from such source, the compliment is highly
10 be valued and will weigh more with The peo-
pie of the United States, than all the assaults OF
all,he .,ournaldcs Debals in the world. We re-
publish The extracts, promising that, as far as we
have seen the whole Democratic party IS per-
feclly satisfied with the wise, moderate, patriotic
and impresnable ground which The President has
taken on all our foreign relations. They would
not have him have done moie or less. In all
that he ha> done, he will be sustained, in the eyes
Of every reasonable man, by the able and con-
vincing correspondence BY which The various ne
sotiations have been conducted;
"The Message has appeared and its reception
BY The people OF the country is the highest com
pliment thai could be paid 10 it, The eonse7ro-
ines NJ both great political parties arc pleased oh

la,ions, the Influence ci party is discovered.

he p,av be found We venture 10 say, that a more
pertinent expo iiion OF the feeling OF nation, re-
garding any subject, was never more explicitly
and perfectly gived BY an Executive We ernh
nth pride orer the firm stand Mr. Poikh0s taken.
Ii will unite us as one man AT home, on The sub
iec of our foreign intercourse relative 10 our own
continent, and give European governments per-
feet understanding OF our position. The cavlls
Of negotiation and The delays OF diplomacy are
forever done with on our part; cur future policy
is unmisakenIy laid down, and we are dseraced
If we ever recede single step. We rejoice that
the Executive has taken The bold stand he has,
and thai Mr.. NlonroeS position has been repeat
ed, regarding the interference OF foreign nations
in matters relating 10 our continent, in language
50 bold and so manly"
2. S.-We have just seen in the Union OF
Monday night The following views, which are ex-
ac'iy pertinent to the case. The Wing and The
Times will perceive how admirably such assaults
upon the President, as are found in some Of the
Wing journals Of this country, are calculated
10 encourage the Grii.American designs Of Euro
pean monarchisis
