The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1850-12-11

We publish In our columns to-day communication,
over the signature Of Brutas reviewing and comment
ing on the Message OF the President We may remark
that this communication is from the pen OF able
and distinguished southern statesman now in retirement,
Temporarily we hope) and prominent member OF the
democratic party He is thorough, od-fashioned demo-
craft and tries ihe Message by that standard with much
vgof and inexibty Of purpose He shows. as we have
hitherto suggested that lis leading doctrines upon the
tariff and internal Improvement branches OF the public
interest drawn from the most undeed spring OF early
federalism. Whatever may be the opinion of our readers
upon every point assumed and maintained by" Bruius
fail be instructed and interested by his ample
information and his clear, energetic reasoning.
We think he has not quite judged the portion Of the
Message respecting the Compromise OF the last session
with his accustomed lberaity We will only repeat
what we have hitherto advanced that upon this poirt
the Message is manly and patriotic in the highest degree
and under the peculiar circumstances in which Mr. Fill
more stood. we think his conduct deserves than
cold acquescense His high federalism and latitudinaa
doctrines cheerfully surrender to the dissection OF
Brutus Even the President himself expect nothing
else from sound and democrat But his decided
language on the compromise question speaks its own
praises.
