The Presidents message in full and parts of Mr..
Merediths report published by the English papers
The Liverpool Mail of the 18th copies the message
IN extenso, and copiously comments We quote an ex-
tract the language of Gen. Taylor (says the Mali in
regard to Portugal
Means instant payment orwar! Not the citizens
oeots, put the expense OF the Armament 1t would be
seasonable the British government were to follow 40
excellent an example. 1t was England that placed
Mara da Gloria upon the throne and she and her hus
Dand nave Deen protected since by British fleet in
the 1agus but while America seeks redress and is GER
tam to obtain 1t, government is treated with con-
tempt, and nsulted by hostile tariffs
"Ths is the way England is treated all over the
world. The government OF the United States know the
interest OF their citizens respect their rights and cou
rageously maintain them. Englishmen plundered
with impuny by every petty State in Europe and Anne
rlca."
Upon the Tariff question, the editor of the Mail
opines that
Ii Gen Taylor shall succeed in carving out his
views, he will be the greatest man that America has
yet Produced and the magnificent benetactor OF his
country The Americans have coal, iron, timber and
can raise sufficient cotton for the world. They have
exhausess supplies OF corn and provisions, cheap and
fertile lands, and they have taxes worth mentioning.
Why, then, should they not manufacture for them
selves! Why should cotton be brought four thousand
miles to England to be spun and woven in Lancashire.
and be carried some three four thousand miles more
10 the United States to be consumed! We cannot see
any reason ort Its true that England has had the
start In manufactures but what right has she to expect
to be awaysfrs In the race! The Americans are not
only justified in protecting their own interests but as
thes President says tits the right and duty Of Con-
gress to encourage domestic industry which is the great
source OF national as we'll individual wealth and
prosperity Sounder policy was never broached-truer
words never uttered"
columns to critical review OF Mr.. Merediths annual
| report-a document which the editor pronounces of
even higher importance to the people OF England than
the Presidents message itself. After quotrng an ex-
preston OF Mr. Meredith, that the United States have
been too long hesitatng and facilitating the reshold
OF great career the Times goes say that the only
information it can draw from so remarkable an
operation, and tor the generally extraordinary line of
argument which pervades this elaborate report is that
this great career is neither nor less than the de-
hntve establishment OF highly protective system,
alike directed against the manufactures OF Europe and
the raw produce of the British domnions in North
America. Wequote in conclusion:
"Such declaration OF the intentions of the cabinet
ls certainly not calculated to promote the harmony OF
Congress- or the peace OF the Union Already the con-
test OF parties has began with such vrulence that the
memorable battle OF the 80 ballots between Jefferson
and Aaron Burr has been ecpsed, and less than SO
ballots occurred before the democratic candidate for
the Speakership, Mr. Cobb, was allowed to take the
chair and then only by plurality OF votes by
absolute majority OF the whole House The Government
has, therefore, majority at its command in the
Senate in the House of Representatives and, under
such circumstances, we hardly comprehend the
policy OF recommending measures which obviously re-
| qure the full support OF the Legislature
sit is unfortunate circumstance in the relations of
American politics with this country, that whilst
naturally inclined by conviction and tradition to coin
eide with the opinions and policy of the wing or tede-
rast party in the Northern States, especially on the
great questions OF peac slavery, and internal ORDER
yet it is in the South, with all its aggressive tendencies
and its connection with slavery that find the
approach to our own commercial doctrines, and the
sures defence OF our common mercantile interests We
must therefore, dsclam all party predictions in Ame
ncan politics, and while applaud the efforts OF the
Government TO maintain the great principles of neura
lily abroad and union at home. confidently hope that
II will fail in its attempt to subject the commercial rea
tons OF great nations to narrow and restrictive policy
injurious the United States to ourselves and
especially injurious to that spirit OF amicable inter-
course which it is the best policy OF both Governments
to protect, TO extend and to cherish"
