Clinton’s Message, will be found in our columns of to-day. There are a few subjects of general interest to which he refers, and upon which there is a free and unequivocal expres sion of opinion. These subjects, d uring the pending of a controversy with the general government, while the issue was doubtful, were regarded as th© visionary phantoms of a disturbed imagination, but are now ad vocated by some who were disposed to maintain at least an appearance of neutrality. The direct in terest which the states have in the establishment of this principle, has awakened a spirit of reflection that is at Lar with those Axjdms of government which manviof the nscudoJH tieians of t With the latter mode the manufacturer is disgusted and in most cases would prefer idleness to entering on a speculation involving such deep anxiety and risk. “ The stock of goods abroad, still unac counted for. is heavy; the stock at home is Very limited, but still sufficient, with a lit tle feeding, to supply the natural demand; and as" the unnatural demand must cease, at least for a time, I argue that full employ ment for the poor operatives cannot be ex pected.

The Princess Re gent of Portugal has applied to the King of England for assistance, and the Kings Mes sage was communicated to both Houses of Parliament on the 11th of December, in which he states that he has exerted himself for some time, in conjunction with the King of France, to prevent such an aggression; ’ that repeated assurances have been /given by the Court of Madrid of the determination of his Catholic Majesty, neither to commit hor allow to be committed from Spain, any aggression against Portugal.

The Foreign News.—The news 4t>m England which we insert in the preceding!conSnns, continues to be of that glo*my complexion it )ias borne for some months past, nor does its variation appear to be in immediate prospect.—Numerous arc the books that have been written on “Political Economy,” and in no country have more determin||d efforts been made to obtain the, proposed benefits from practice of the different systems, than in Enghnd; but not withstanding, tlie tendency to distress and misery is in no measure lessened, but, perhaps nther increas ed. Every two or three years, confusion and con sternation arises in their mercantile tnd manufac turing’concerns, attended with riotinf, bloodshed, and starvation, which they are unable ti avert; from whence it may be inferred, either that Changes con tinually are progressing that eventual!; render their doctrines futile, or that they have wholly mistaken the true foundations of social science! The latter we conceive to be the fact, especiallyjn the parti culars, first, of not properly estimatinj the conse quences of an excessive power of ppduction at tended by a constrained means of consimption, and, second, the effect of unconnected individual opera tions, resulting in what is called compmm,. The full nature of this result we hold to be veij generally misconceived, and we shall hereafter to bring to notice some argumi TKe are informed by ihe last Milledge- ville papers, that the Indians occupying that part cf the State’s territory embraced in the old, but not recognised by the hgtv treaty, have arrested the progress of the surveyors, by depriving them ofjkeir com passes, and that a probable suspension G f their labours will take place until protection is afforded them. The Little Trince, by whose^aijkl • ority these measures are said to have been taken, is, we fear, backed by the influence of the agent and iris cb-workers. We had hoped that th^opposifioif which has long been indulged,, but unsuccessfully, with the view of thwarting the iqeasures of the executive, had subsided. That settled ■purpose of hostility which has attended every stage of exertion on the part of the state to obtain possession of her just rights, will cease only with the occupancy of the soil. A determination to multiply embar rassments, and add new difficulties to those which Imve already been surmounted, will give an imjSfetus to exertion, while opposi tion afforifjfa ground for hope.—An express had left Mil 1 edgerille ^for the Governor, who was at the tinm/aosent.

Hence, at all times, instances of that squa lid poverty anil absolute 'destitution, are far more rare than where personal independence, with indi vidual competition, prevail. In these respects, therefore, this peculiar feature of the Southern states is certainly a political benefit, however great the moral wrong; and we hesitate not to say, that un der the guidance of a judicious and active man, the condition of every individual in one of these domes tic circles, might bo made enviable to three fourths of the operative or labouring population in other places.—In proportion as individuality exists in the pursuits of life, the exertions of each for his sepa rate interest must be increased, and in the effort to obtain a preference for business or employment as a means of subsistence, all regard for that of others dispensed with; whence a contest is generated that prostrates some,of the competitors, leaving thqfBt to poverty, and the hard conditioned contribution of their sendees to the conquerors.—Thus, or becoming worse and worse as accelerating modes of produc tion are invented, wc are decidedly of opinion | be, until a new. order of society may take cept when a transient revulsion may give ss* alleviation of the evils inseparable from^^K 1 they are. y Gov.

But the New-York Statesman republishes it, and appends to it a string of contemptuous sneers and sar casms—bitter enough for any purpose. Now the whole story is news.to us. It is not within our recollection just noWvthat any bill was introduced, much less passed, at the last session of our Legislature, con taining such a provision as that referred to. It is true that the dower law of this state underwent some mpdifications which, we k will be very generally considered to be movements. Instead of having the right toVdaim dower in .ail the real estate which through t^ie hands of her husband (witlJlttjt her relinquishment of dower) du ring the wife, by the late act, is entitled to 1 dower, in the real estate only which she brought by marriage, into the pos session qf her husband, and in that of which he die! legally possessed. But this is not all. When the' husband dies intestate and without issue, the whole estate real and per sonal Remaining, after the debts are pafd, goes to the wife. > We question very much whether,; the statute book of New-York exhibits a pro vision on this subject half so liberal as this.
