it would have ronta lied a large additional papula- j

t,laced to the aceiidant. It the t>r.vle had been ad- ;

' for the protect ion of the frontier.
The President fuither diseri?ses the causes of the I
financial depiession, and argue* that the Tariff had ]
no connection therewith. It was the inevitable re. .
sill! of our unsound and extravagant system oi bank j
credits and inliatt-J ruireuvy. No u r ivvrnment, are! ;
especially a government of such limited power- a- j
j ' he i illicit Slates, could have prevented it. Ihe ]
whoie-coniincrcial world -eerned for years to have i
been rushing ' t> this catastrophe. The geneial cdii- j
se- exi-tiiig throughout toe World, could not have
been controlled by the tegi-iation of any p.uliculai ]
• country.
The exp-nses of th Government are given in a !
| shoit statement and the President oppo-es any fur- j
' ther loans to meet them. He irci emends the prac
' lice of rigid economy by Congre-s in it- appiopna- i

have observed thi- to he a query which
troubles some of our good citizens a gi eat ha!
w lien solicited to take stock ii tin* proposed
B'dfotil Railroad. For the benefit ol such
we won Id sav, that bet v.-rv few. ifanv, rail
fads pay stockholders, in dividend *, what they

along the route ot the roa I, hut in every s-clioii
to which it may fuinidi a market. Tin* elJefi
