• ce the brittle of .San Jacinto, consisted ,' r tlie most part of predatory incursions. Inch, while! they have been attended •vjtli much of suffering to individuals, , s .(j have kept the borders of the twa countries in a state of constant alarm, L aV e tailed to approach to any definite V, u lt. Mexico has fitted out no tormid ,l,le armament by laud or by sea for the ;U },j,nation of Texas. Eight years have lapsed since Texas declared her inde- of Mexico, and during that lime she has been recognised ns a sover power by several of the principal civilized states. Mexico, nevertheless perseveres in her plans of reconquest, f,|drefuses to recognise her independence The predatory incursions to which I have alluded, have been attended, in one ustance, with the breaking up of the courts of justice by the seizing upon the Tersons of the judges, jury and officers of he court, and dragging them along with unarmed, and therefore non-combatant itizens, into a cruel and oppressive bon lage, thus leaving crime to go unpunish ed and immorality to pass nil reproved.— ,4 border warfare is evermore to lie dep ■ecated. and over such tt war as has ex ited for so many years between these wo States, humanity has had great ause to lament. Nor is such a condi ion of things to l>e deplored* only be :ause of Hie individual suffering attend ed upon it. The effects are fur more extensive. The Creator of the Universe has given man the Earth for his resting ilace, and its fruits for his subsistence. iViiatever, therefore, shall make the first 3r any part of it a scene of desolation, affects injuriously his heritage, and may ho regarded as a general calamity. Wars may sometimes lie necessary; but all nations have a common interest in brilig n;rr them speedily to a close. The Uni 1, and States have an immediate interest in seeing nn end put to the stale of hostility existing between Mexico and Texas.— They "are our neighbors, of the, same continent, with whom we are not only desirous of cultivating the relations of amity, but of the most extended commcr na! intercourse, and to practise all the rights of a neighborhood hospitality.— Our own interests are deeply involved in the matter, since however neutral may bo our course of policy, we cannot hope r > escape the effects of a spirit of jealousy on the part of both of the powers. Nor con this Government be it different to tilt; fact that a warefare, such as is waged between those two nations, is calculated to weaken both powers, and finally Jp render them, and especially the weaker [>fthe two, the subjects of interference o:i the part of stronger and more power ful nations, which, intent only on ad vancing their own peculiar views, may sooner or later attempt to bring about a uiuplinnce with terms, alike derogatory to me nation granting them and detri mental to the interests of the United .Suites. We could not lie expected quiet i; to permit anv’such interference to our disadvantage Considering that Texas is separated from the UnitcdbStates by a more geographical lino, that her territory iu the opinion of many, harmed a portion of the territory of the United States, that it is homogeneous in its population and pursuits with the adjoining States, makes contributions to the commerce of the world in die same articles with them, mid that most of her inhabitants have been citizens of the Unitee States, speak the same language and live under similar political institutions with ourselves, this Government is bound by every conside ration of interest as well as of sympathy, to see that she shall be left free to act, especially in regard to her domestic af fairs, unawed by to ice, and unrestrained by the policy or views of other countries. In full view of all these considerations, the Executive has not hesitated to ex press to die Government of Mexico how deeply it deprecated a continuance of the war, and how anxiously it desired to witness its termination I cannot but think that it becomes the United States, as the oldest of the American Republics, to hold a language to Mexico upon this subject of an unambiguous character.— It is time that this war had ceased.— There must he a limit to all wars; and if the parent State, after an eight years Struggle, has failed to reduce to submis sion a portion of its subjects standing out in revolt against it, and who have not only proclaimed themselves to be inde pendent, but have been recognised as such by other Powers, she ought not to expect that other nations will quietly look on, to their obvious injury, upon a pro traction of hostilities. These United Statesthrew off thesr colonial dependence and established independent Govern ments; and Great Britain, after having wasted her energies in the attempt to subdue them fora less jieriod than Mexi- co has attempted to subjugate Texas, had the wisdom and justice to acknowledge their independence, thereby recognising the obligation which rested on her as one of the family of nations. An example thus set by one of the proudest as well as most powerful nations of the earth, it could in no way disparage Mexico to imitate. While, therefore, the Executive would deplore any collision with .Mexico or any disturbance of the friendly rela tions which exist between the two coun tries, it cannot permit that Government to control its policy, whatever it may l>e, towards Texas ; but will treat her as by the recognition of her independence the United Slates have long since declared they would do, as entirely independentof Mexico. These high obligations of pub lic duty may enforce from the constituted authorities of the United States a policy tvliich the course persevered in by Mexi co will have mainly contributed to pro duce ; and the Executive, in such a contingency, will with confidence throw itself upon the patriotism of the People to sustain the Government in of action. Measures of an unusual character have recently been adopted by the Mexican Govemment calculated in no smali de gree to affect the trade of other nations with Mexico, and to operate injuriously to the United States. AM foreigners by a decree of the 23d day of September, and after six months from the day of its pro mulgation, are forbidden to carry on the business of sidling by retail any goods within the confines of Mexico. Against this decree our Minister has not failed to remonstrate. The trade heretofore carried qp by our citizens with Saute Fe, in which much capital was already invested, and which was becoming of daily increasing impor tance, has suddenly been arrested by a decree of virtual prohibition on the part of the Mexican Government. Whatever may be the right of Mexico to prohibit any particular course of trade, to the citi zens or subjects of foreign powers, tnis late procedure, to say the least of it, wears a harsh and unfriendly aspect. The instalments on the claims recent ly settled by the Convention with Mexi co have been punctually paid as they have fallen due, and our Minister is en gaged in urging the establishment of a new commission in pursuance of the Convention for the settlement of unad justed claims. Mlie fiscal and monetary affairs of the country. And the accounts and esti mates of the current year are briefly al luded to in the message, as follows: “The receipts in the Treasury for the ! calendar year 1813, exclusive of loans,! were little more than eighteen millions of dollars; and the expenditures, exclusive! of payments on the public debt, will have ■ been about twenty-three millions of dol- j lars. By the Act of 1542, anew ar rangement of the fiscal year was made, so that it should commence on the first day of July in each year. The accounts and estimates for the current fical year, | will show that the loans and Treasury notes made and issued before the close ot the last Congress, to meet the anticipa ted deficiency, have not been entirely adequate. Although on the first of Oc tober last, there was a balance in ihe Treasury in consequence of the provis ion thus made of $3,914,082 77, yet the'appropriations already made by Con gress will absorb that balance, and leave a probable deficiency of (wo millions of dollars at the close of the present fiscal year. There are outstanding Treasury notes "to about the amount of four milli ons six bund red thousand dollars; and should they be returned upon tbe Trea sury during the fiscal year, they will re quire provision for their redemption. I do not however regard this as probable since they have obviously entered into the currency of the country, and will continue to form a portion of it, if the system now adopted be continued.—Mite loan of 1841, amounting to $5.G72,97G 88, fulls due on the Ist January. 1845, and must be provided for or ppstponed by anew loan. And unless the resour ces of revenue should he materially in creased by you, there will be a probable deficiency for the service of the fiscal year ejiding June 30th, 1815, of up wards of about four millions of dollars. The delusion incident to an enormous ly excessive paper circulation, which gave a fictitious value to every thing, and stimulated adventure and specula tion to an extravagant extent, has been happily succeeded by the substitution of the precious metals and paper promptly redeemable in specie, and thus false values have disappeared, and a sounder condition of things has been introduced. Thtttrunsitiou, although intimately con nected with the prosperity of the coun try, has nevertheless been attended with much embarrassment to the Government, in its financial concerns. So long as the foreign importers could receive pay ment for their cargoes in a currency of greatly less value than that in Europe, hut fully available here in the purchase of our agricultural productions, their profits being immeasurably augmented by the operation, the shipments were large and the revenues of the Govern ment became superabundant. But tbe change in the character of the circula tion from a nominal and apparently teal value, in ihe first stages of its existence, to an obviously depreciated value in its second, so that it no longer answered the purposes of exchange or barter, and its ultimate substitution by a sound me tal ic and paper circulation combined, has been attended by diminished impor tations, and a consequent falling oil in the revenue. This lias induced Con gress, from 1537, to resort to the expedi ent of issuing Treasury notes, and final ly of funding them, in order to supply deficiencies. I cannot, however, with hold the remark that it is in no way com patible with the dignity of the Govern ment, or that temporary expedients should he resorted to an hour longer than it is possible to avoid them. The Exe cutive can do no more than apply the means which Congress places in its hands for the support of Government; and happily for the good of the country and for the preservation of its liberties, it possesses no power to levy exactions on the people, or to force from them con tributions to the public revenue in any form. It can only recommend such mea sures as may, in its opinion, lie called foa by the wants of the public service, to Congress, with whom alone rests the power to “lav and collect taxes, duties, imposts, and excises.” This duty has upon several occasions heretofore been performed. The present condition of things givesa flattering promisethnt trade ! and commerce are rapidly reviving, and I fortunately for the country, the sources of revenue have only to be opened, in order to prove abundant.” President Tyler’s views on the aliena tion or distribution of the proceeds ac cruing from the sales of the public lands i are sound and in unison with the opin j ions of the Democratic Republican party 1 of the country. While we can anticipate no considera ble increase in the proceeds of the sales of the public lands for reasons perfectly obvious to all, for several years to come, yet the public lands cannot otherwise than lie regarded as the foundation of the public credit. With so large a body of the most fertile lands in the world un der the control and at the disposal of the Government, no one can reasonably doubt the entire ability of the Govern ment to meet its engagements under ev ery emergency, in seasons of trial and difficulty similar to those through which we are passing, the capitalist makes his investment in the Government stocks with the most assured confidence of ul timate reimbursement; and whatever may be said in a period of great financial prosperity, such as existed for some years after 1833, I should regard it as suicidal in a season of financial embar rassment. either to alienate the lands themselves, or the proceeds arising from | their sales. The first and paramount duty of those to whom may he entrusted the administration of public affairs, is to guard the public credit. In re-estahlish nig the credit of this Central Govern ment, the readiest and most obvious mode is taken to restore the credit of the States. The extremities can only lie made-sound by producing a healthy ac tion in the Central Government, and the history of the present day fully establish es the fact, that an increase in the value of the stocks of this Government will, in a majority of instances, be attended by an increase in the value of the stocks of s the States. It should, therefore, be a i matter of general congratulation that a | midst all the embarrassments arising from surrounding circumstances, the cre dit of the Government should have bqen I so fully restored that it has been enabled j to effect a loan of seven millions of dol i lars to redeem lhat amount of Treasury notes, on terms more favorable than any , that have been offered for many years.— And the six per cent. slock which was j created in 1812, has advanced in the hands of the holders to nearly twenty per cent, uliovc its par value. Tbe con fidence of the people in the integrity of their Government has thus been signal ly manifested. These opinions relative to the public lands do not in any manner conflict with the observance of the most j liberalqwflicy towards those of our fellow | citizens*\vho pres forward hit the wil derness and are the pioneers in the work of its reclamation. In securing to all j such their rights of pre-emption, thcGo ! vernmeut performs hut an act of retribu tive justice for sufferings encountered and hardships endured, and finds ample remuneration in the comforts which its policy ensures and the happiness which it imparts. Should a revision of the tariff, with a view to revenue, become ueces ary in the estimation of Congress, f doubt not j you will approach the subject \vith a just j and enlightened regard to the interests jof the whole Union. The principles and views which I have heretofore had occasion to submit, remain unchanged, j 1 can, however, never be too often re : peated, that the prominent interest of e ■ very important pursuit of life, requires I ibr-success, permaneucy and stability in •legislation. These can only be attained | by adopting os the basis of action, mod eration in all things, which is as indis pensably necessary to secure the harmo nious action of the political as of the ani mal system. In our politiyal organiza tion, no one section of the country should desire to have its supposed interests ad vanced at the sacrifice of all others: but Union being the great interest, equally precious to all, should be fostered and sustained by mutual concessions and the cultivation of that spirit of compromise from which the Constitution itself pro ceeded. President Houston. Denies that he is engaged in any trea sonable conspiracy to deliver Texas to Great Britain. We make the following emphatic extract from a rambling inco herent speech he has recently delivered. But the full measure of the offence— the “head and front”—is to he foiiud in charges emanating from high authority. "1 had received a bribe—l was to sell my country to England—l was to he Governor-General of Texas.” And all this for five thousand pounds sterling ! What ! sell my country for British gold ? 1 question very much, my friends, whether England would have ns, if she could get us. To my mind it is clear that Hngland does not care about the abolition bf slavery She has destroyed her West India possessions by its aboli tion there ; and she knows very well that a slave population will develope Ihe resources of anew country in one-eighth of the time it would take by lree labor.— The superior quality of our productions, and the advantages that England might derive from osiu various ways, are strong inducements to her to lend us her aid at this juncture; notwithstanding the op position of the fanatics who clamor for the universal abolition of slavery. Men who have accumulated ond-half their fortune, in the African slave trade—who sinned against high heaven until they feared to call down its just vengeance upon their heads, and then bethought themselves lhat some atonement must lie made to appease the Great Author ot re ligion ami virluf). lienee it was lhat they became fanatics, and “ ail the world must be free!” Lord Aberdeen says whatever can be done “ honorably and legitimately,” will be done. England has a right to make a proposition, and we have a right to reject it. But there is no talk of interference. England will not attempt to exercise force. If jrersuasion will not do, force will not he tried. What lias England done against this country*? Why, for sooth, we are to be sold to h«r ! England is to swallow us up ! We are all to be sold, a parcel of slaves turd beggars, to English mercy! England don’t want you, in my opinion, gentlemen ! She lias agreat many mischievous and unruly subjects to govern already; and if she had Texas in addition she would be glad to get rid of us. * * * * # * Which of his Opinions? Twelve months ago, George W. Orawtord, a member of the inquistorial committee who examined the Central Bank, published a “Supplemental Re port,” in which he stated he was “ clear in the conviction that the Bank was wholly and utterly incapable of accom plishing any of the purposes of its crea tion, and hopelessly deprived of the means by' which its circulation can be sustained, unless by taxation.” Such was the opinion of Mr. Craw ford, wlien he had spent some weeks in the examination of the affairs of the Bank and was struggling to put down the institution, to render odious to the people, those wdio administred its affairs, and to deprive the Democratic party of its power. lie is now unexpectedly foisted into the hiest office in the State, and lo and behold, a change has come over his opinion. In his communica tion of the 20th ult., which we published last week, he recommends the issue of certificates bearing 8 per cent interest, to lie redeemed in eighteen months or so 'ti er, at the will of the Bank ; and expresses the opinion, “that within that ti e the Central Bank will have realised an a mwtnt of its assets fully adequate to discharge this class of its liabilities Verily' the Governor has changed liis opinion! Now, he will not turn loose on the people the tax-gatherer, with or ders to take up the bills of the Central Bank ! The monster is not so rotten, now that he is Governor !! it is obvious that the issue of the eigh teen month certificates recommended by the Governor would he au alteration of the law too trivial to have justified a a special communication. The bonds at five years, which are now issued to every' applicant under the act of 1849, bear the: same interest he recommends and are payable “sooner at the option of the State.” Between this and the certifi cates he advises, there is scarcely a shad ow of difference. But in other parts of this communication a vefy strong and dqcidcd meaning may be traced. Its whole purpose, is to order the strongest measures against the debtors of the Bank. They may look out for squalls! And we will add, that should his views be carried out, the assets of the Central Bank may present a s|»ectacle of expense waste and loss, corresponding with the oppres sion thrown o:i its debtors.— Federal Union. Repudiation. The Mobile Herald has an anecdote on this subject, too good to be lost- A mer chant of Mobile, and an American by birth, was recently on a visit to Liver pool where a branch of his house was established, the head of which was a Scotchman. At a dinner given by his partner, a number of merchants at .and cap italists were present, and though the Mo bilian, made. great efforts to avoid any discussion in reference to American se curities, yet, as the old codgers at the table, the majority of whom were from good old Scotia, insisted upon the matter, he was compelled to listen to their long tirades against repudiation. In answer to their assaults heobserved that only one State had Repudiated and that was Mis sissippi. Inquiry was made how she happened to stand alone in this matter? —the Mobilian replied that they had a very curious man for Governor, named McNutt, but that he was not an Ameri can. The whole company demanded his birth place. “ Why,” said the Mo bilian, “ he is a most obstinate and cross grained old Scotchman,” After a broad Took at each other, the conversation im mediately turned upon other subjects 1 llobbis -nvs the Natural stale or linn is War. His theory seems true, as far as Mexico is concerned, for during the present gen eration we have never heard that the people of that country were at perfect peace among themselves, or with any body else. Santa Anna, it appears, is getting ready to fight Yucatan and Tex as ; while he intends to send an army of convicts to cut a canal to unite tho two great oceans. He had better cut the ditch and let fighting alone. Affecting. A judge recently, while passing sen tence of death on acriminal, was so much affected, that he, several times became incapable of articulation. Alter he had finished the sentence, lie requested the members of the bar and others in the court-rootn to rise, while he petitioned, in a most solemn and eloquent prayer the Throne of Grace, in-behalf of the crimi nal. This happened in Alleghany coun ty. Md.— Saiidersville Telescope. toil II IMIAI. JOURNAL COTTON MARKIN S. MACON Dec. 13, ,843.
