The Presidents Message.

The message Of President Buchanan, 10
the publication Of which we devote the
greater portion of 10. days paper, will com.
mand the attention and respect OF our readers
for the moderation of Its temper as we'll as
its solicitude for the public interests. There
are many passages in it, in which the De-
mocracy cannot concur, but taken as Whole;
we have no doubt the message will be &C.
copied as an exposition both Of political
principle and Administration policy.
The President treats OF the Kansas ques-
ton at great length, but he does not, in our
opinion, present anything calculated to con.
vertto his views those who have differed with
him in his policy on that question.
He also recommends specifs duties as
substitute for the Democratic principle Of ad
Ualorem imposts. This is rank heresy, and
we are surprised that q Democratic Ex.
ecative should favorubly entertain such
a measure, much less recommend it,
We had supposed that II any doctrine of the
Democratic party was thoroughly incorpo.
rated in the policy Of the Government, the
principle OF free trade was thus established,
and we had fondly imagined that ifthe Der4o:
cratic party be united in the support of any
one article Of its creed, it is unanimously
opposed to the Federal system Of protec,
tive duties, but it appears we reposed upon 4
false security.
But-we must be careful !-perhap$ we
are treading on unsafe ground, and may be
rgain read out of the party if we say too
much against this doctrine OF Whiggery,
which Mr.. Buchanan advocates
