AuE FhkSHAUENLsN MESSACEs
 From our Extra, issued on Thursday last, we present to readers corrected copy of this iOnsly expected document MuRAr once said " he had no vulEar preiadiccs, but that Turkey Bnzzard 'oas 1ot good any way you could cook IL" So, casting aside ali political bias, and giving impar tia reading to the message we lnve concluded that in any view which We msy take of it, want of dignity originality, and good taste is strikingly ap parent through it's patched up paragraphs. The effort to reduce its literary character to standard which nigh, be General TAYLos.s owu. fer the pur- pose of convincing the public that he alone was en- titled to the authorship, appears very distinctly while no one will dispute that in some parts of this political mince-Pie, the author of the horse letter" had finger It is an onnuin gatsergn'' | so far as information is concerned, from former newspaper speculaIions, confirmation of old ru- mors of Washington letter writer's and the off ex. pressed opinions of leading politicians of the whig party. We look in vain for some and bold proposition whereby additional prosperity will ac crue to the country, or any loreshadowing Of what the policy of the administration will be- upon the agitating questions Of the day, with the exception perhaps, the recommending change of the present excellent Tariff, in such manner as to augment Inc revenue, and encourage the manufacturers The Round lsland sfair and the REy abducion are made matters of great se glorifcation and ths prmoptness with which ke annihilated the ship building scheme of the German empire is dwelt upon with great satisfaction. In relation to the PoUssS difficulty aud the irritating correspondence between Mir. CLAYTON and the French government. an ob-oars a!lusion only made, and the paiio ars left uninformed to the real of the French mans dismissal. General TAYLoR no doubt re- gards it with modification, and attempts no defence of Mr CLAYTON. California and the overland com- manication with it, claims large share of his att tentIon, aud while he casts doubt upon the prac- ticability of railroad from the Mississippi to the Pacihc, he recommends survey of the different routes proposed, by competent board of engineers Upon this subject he says "But while this, if in successful operation, would be a-work of great na- tional importance and of value To the country, which it would Dc difficult to estimate it ourht also to be regarded as undertaking of vast magnitude and expense. and one which must, if it indeed be practicable encounter many difficulties in it's con struction and use" All of which ralua6le iuforna. ton, though very true is not at all new to Congress
 Our Foreign relations adverted 10 at great length, but the message imparts scarcely single fact that has not appeared before in the newspapers of the country. The following ridiculous sentence opens this theme, as taken from the Cincinnati Commercial, tWhig); "We are at peace with all the world and seem to maintain our cherished rea- liens of amity with the rest of mankind" Ifthis is not misprint, there is dspuiing its author. ship. The establishment of bureau of agriculture is recommended, to be under the contro, of the Secretary of the Ho ne Department. We advocate every measure having for it's object encouragement and the diffusion of knowledge among our farmers but General TAYLOR does pot inform us in what manner this bureau is to be employed to effect this
 We have perhaps said enough upon the subject to our readers for the present, we present them with the document, but we cannot withhold the ex- Presslon of our opinion thai it will be regarded as the weakest and most unsatisfactory State paper that ever emanated from an American President upon such an occasion.

Since writing the above, we find that the eSenng sentence upon the subject of our Foreign relations quoted above, appears from corrected copy just received by mail, have been misprinted It should read, We are at peace with all the na- lions of the world, and seek to maintain our cher Ished relations of ami'y with them"
