From the Richnond (Va.) Whis.

We republsh this document TO- day. We regard
it,, in evcry respect, precisely such as was hoped
and expected from General Taylor. It's length is
not SO great a. to deter any, even the most indo-
lent reader, from its thorough perusal. while the
simple and energetic languagei In whichi is couched
grateful TO the taste it is satisfactory to the
understanding. The public, we are sure, will re-
joice to see the annual message Of the President
restored TO its due proportions and no longer spun
out into political electioneering pamphlet. In
which is worthy of imitation, and which we hope
to see initiated by all succeeding Presidents.

The value placed by the President upon the
Union Of the States will meet with response in
every American heart.

Il Is precisely such a paper as the public had a
right 70 expect Of an honest soldier and patriot,
like General Taylor. and who, unlike his imme-
diate predecessor, labored under no necessity OF
linquencies and gross violations Of the Constitution
but simply and unostentatiously to lay before the
peoples representative for their investigation, the
truthful condition Of the public interests all their

From tte indiana ,Sta,e journal.

The message, like every other production from
the pen of General Taylor, is marked by plain,
good common sense. twill be seen that he Is de-
termined to preserve the peace of the nation 80 long
as it can be done consistent with national honor.
This determination will meet the approval of every
true lover of his country.
As every person will read the message it is use
less to refer TO all the various national questions it
ably discusses. No man will arise from its peru
sal without being satisfied that it emanates from
true patriot, and whose only wish is Tor his coun
try's happiness and prosperity.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-01-07
From O.e Lvnctt,rg Yirginian.

The style is simple, elegant, and perspicuous.
The whole character of the document is in accord
ance with General Taylor's just conceptions of the
functions of constitutional President. The patent

President whose bearing is not that of dictator, will

explicit terms, what he has DONE and suggests such
measures to Congress he thinks called for by the
public interests. II is the shortest message wehave
had since the days of Mr.. Madison-and this is not
the least of its merits. His predecessor occupied
argea space, in his last message, in political dis
QUESTION, framed in low partisan spirit, and vio
lating the truth Of history, much as it outraged
the feelings Of at least moicty Of the people of the
United States
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-01-07
From the Cincinnali Gaxette.

There is one feature of the message which we
feel that we may refer to with pride and gratiica-
years-and that is, the plain, direct, unequivocal
language in which every thought is expressed and
every proposition made. We have nothing in the
spirit of "a judicious tariff" here-nothing in the
way of varying the Constitution 81 understand
it-nothing q looking to the South and talking to
the North-nothing OF that politico- metaphysical
subtlety which seeks to divide hair 'twixt north
and nor'-w side. But what General Taylor
thought and intended, that has he said; and, what
is more, he has said it tceu. man of the people,
he talks TO the people like a man.
