PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
The lift hour el which we receive J the Message,
Slid in great length, prevent us from plscing it be
fore oct renJom entire thi wnefc, bill we givo be
low a svnnpsis of it, with copious extract upon tlio
subject of moat genera! interest embraced m H.
The Mc3ff ripens with an expression ef grail
titude to tho grrtt Creator, for the numbrrhat be
refits bestowed upon us as t people.
The President then proceed to consmtulate the
people on the ratification of the late Treaty with
Kngland, upon which he remaik!
I trust that whilst you nmy see in it nothing
objectionable, it nmy be the moans of preserv
ing, tor an indefinite period, the amicable to
intions happily existing between the two l!nv
crntncnts. The question of pence or war be
tween the United States and Great Britain, is
n question of tho ileepest interest not only to
themselves, but to the civilized world, since it
is scarcely possible that a war could exist be
tween them without endangering the peace of
Christendom. The immediate effect of the
Treaty upon ourselves will be felt in the se
curity afforded to mercantile enterprise, which
tio longer apprehensive of interruption, adven
tures its speculations in the most distant sea ;
nnd freighted with tho diversified productions
uf every hind, returns to bless our own.
There is nothing in tho treaty which, in
ford to pny the lowest duty, would have to sub
duct in advance n portion of Ms funds, in oidor
to pay the duties, and would low tho interest
upon the amount thus paid for, all the time the
goods might remain unsold, which might ab
sorb his profits. The rich capitalists abroad,
s well as at home, would thus possess, after a
short time, on almost e.xclu.-ive monopoly oft he
import trade ; and l.iwa designed lor the ben
efit of all, -who would thus operate for the ben
efit of tho few, a result wholly uncongenial
with the spirit ofur institutions, and anti-republican
in all its tendencies. The Ware
housing System would l imbic the importer to
to watch the market, and to select his own time,
for offering his goods for sale, A profitable
portion ol'the rarryintr trade in articles en

duty to cause to b submitted to you at the

of an Exchtquer, the whole power and duty of

To the Editor of the K. Y. Tribune
Excuse my freedom in offering a few thoughts
on ctuppnsed tragic em of John C. Colt. It is
a very dolicate matter to decide ; nevertheless
there are several point in this esse which we of
Connecticut think ought to he made mote phiin
to the public eye. Reports of the existence of Cult
are (pleading whether groundle.i ornuf, and the
whole finale nf the matter ought certainly to be
probed to the bottom. The Committre on the "Cu

whether or no John C. Cult be ttire or (lend .'

In reply to the inquiries and in s-itif reiion of

very remarkable and corioos caseone of the most
so, probably, that ever esme before a judici.il tribu

ware it bound to call, first on the Oovcmer of Ken'

President himself, and a demand will be maoV or
him to give up a member f Congress. This,
course, will seem to t-ome to bring up the question
of tl e parliamentary privileges possessed by a mem
ber of Concres; but it is well known that thi privi
tcee only rxirnds to civil action, and cannot im
pede for tnemcnt the process oflaw in a criminal
ease. The President, then fore, will have to cause
j Marshall to be arrested f r a criminal offence, and

Delaware to take him to th.it Siate le be tried for
