Next to the message Of the President and the ac-
companying diplomatic correspondence on the Ore
gon question, from the Department of State, the
report of Mr. Walker is, beyond doubt, the mos,
important document, which ELECTS almost as univer-
sal applause as the message itself. How proud and
happy may not the American citizen feel at the pc
! rusal of these yearly accounts of his government
| rendered to him and the world, about the manage
ment of the republican, household In what n go-
ry do they place this country before the world If
we have not yet reached the very pinnacle Of the
most ideal civil and religious perfection, we certain
y are advancing towards it with strides truly as
founding. To undertake to comment on documents
like those before u.s. is entirely out of the question
They are word for word their comment Word
for word, they are all that we-that true demo-
crat--would say, or desire to say. In this, their
clear, comprehensive, graphic exposition of the doc
trincs at the root of democracy, it is that their
mastery character consists.
involunarily the prayer Of patriotism steals from
our heart, that long may country enjoy the hap.
pness of an administration in the spirit of the pres.
emit This is no parasitic wish Heaven knows
the amount of "spos" that falls to our lot )--no
hattery; but every true democrat involuntarily
unites with ours his purest and most fervent
wishes.
The document of Mr.. Walker breathes the au-
thors radical democ racy; his ardent republican pa
triotsm; his liberality Of sentiment and generous
philanthropy. He is truly the friend of the poor
nian--of MAN--of MANKIND.
We regret that we cannot furnish the document
in its whole length. 1t should be spread over the
whole country in thousands of copies. We extract
the most interesting parts.
From the same paper OF Dec 90
80 With true qualification no less than ours
has been, our readers will learn how vaantly the
dominant democratic party in Congress, iusfying to
the fullest extent the confidence placed IN them by
the adopted population, have put to shame the first
and last struggle of nativsm on this sacred ground
IN how jealous, how noble, nay, how flattering q
manner, they have stood up for adopted citi-
zens. That merely the making Of capital at home
was not the object that feeling and conviction were
most deeply concerned IN 1t, was sufficiently appa-
rent from the character and warmth of the debate To
appreciate this noble conduct of the democratic par
ty it is also to be considered that they just are
in command Of SO decisive majority in Congress
and throughout the country as to enable them more
easily TO dispense with the support of the lmmigra
ted population, and that hence, in taking vigor
Gus stand by them at the present time they had
no inducement to exhibit any other but their true
sentiments. May they find reward on the part Of
our German friends in their increased attachment to
the party.
From the paper.
OF the excellent treatise of Mr. Walker in which
the democratic principles on the subject Of imposts
and financial economy discussed in so lucid and
comprehensive n manner, regret able on
ly ION the first pege) to convey go limited view,
but hope that we lbalI have occasion to present
more Of Il hereafter. We harm, If we
draw attention to certain consonance, meeting the
spirit OF the Time in the views and propositions OF
Mr.. Walker (more particularly as concerns the pub
lie lands,) with the sensible and practicable part Of
the objects which sought to be attained by the
''socia reforms" of the day; as, in fact, should
not be astonshed, some day, TO behold In Mr. Wal
ker the chosen siandard-bearer of the young, and
from the laws of its nature yer-reuvenatng, pro-
gressve democracy Of America For the PROPOSE
tion heretofore advanced by US, that protective
tariff, in the same degree that it actually does pro-
enue, and therefore is a humbug, Mr.. Walker fur
niskes the demonstration at length, with which he
ytes the manufacturers in that predicament which
10 msthematically called ab absurd,un.
