I»RESI»EN'A’S 'MESSAGE.--WO have
published at length this anxiously looked for State
paper, to the exclusion of our usual Variety. , It is hot
«o lengthy .09 documents of the kind generally are—a
recommendation, however, rather than otherwise—and
. is not marked by that ability which characterized the
messages of Gen. Jackson and Mr. Van Buren. ' The
l > reeident,. itUß'truer'touchos upon various points of
much importance} such as McLeod’s trial, Caroline
affair, tiia Tariff, the Currency,' &c, dee., but in most
of them ho deals too much in general terms, and ap
pears cautious of chalking out any distinctive
course oCpolicy, deUili of his hermaphrodite
plan of* finance, horoQ: m Congress to the Secretary of
Uis Treasury/who.-, wifi .furnish them, if requested,
s But. comiiicnf is. unnecessary, as Jh© Message will
sttul. generally by
all ' our subscriber?. With . regard to tho scheme of
finance, wo subjoin tho following from the Peuhsylva- ,
nian, with tho remarks of Mr. BxaTuK, after the Mes
sage was read in tho Senate:
Th* Sgntxa os FijraircK.—President Tyler doco
t\ot appear to bo mucli more fortunate in his -financial
.proposition than wore tho fiscal gcnllcmeu of the last
■ eeseiou. . In fact he is more unfortunate than they, for
the sketch of- a plan of finance given in the Message
finds no favor frbm any quarter. So far at least, no
voice has been raised hi its favor. The Madisonian
speaks very carefully*—th© National Intelligencer hca,"
itutes, end the Qlobc is hostile to the project. ■lt does
not suit tho Barik-incn, and tho democrats cannot view
_it otherwise than with repugnance. All the objections
urged agimat the Independent-Treasury apply hero
with tenfold force, end it requiresno very sharp vision
to discern in ft some of the most obnoxious features of
a National Bankv The plan suits nobody,, and wo
presume that if wili sink quietly into tho tomb of tho
Oapulcis, In tho remarks elicited in the Senate by
the part of lira Message to which we refer, wo find the
following from Mr. Bepton which are to the purpose:
He (Mr. Benton) had only said a few words on this
occasion, because he could not let the proposition to s
sanction bills of credit go without taking the very ear
liest opportunity of expressing his disapprobation, and
denouncing a-system calculated to produce the same
results which had raised the unfunded debt of Great
Britain from twenty one millions to nmc hundred mil
lions of pounds. Ho avail himself «of the first
appropriate opportunity to maintain tho ground ho bud
assumed as to the identity of this policy with that of
Walpole, by argument and references, that this plan
of tho. Presidents, was utterly unconstitutional and
dangerous, part borrowed from the English Exchequer
issues, and part .of Mr. Biddlo’s scheme of making the
General Government an exchange dealer—though Mr.
Biddle made the Government act indirectly through a
board of bank directors, and this makes it act directly
through k Board of TrSftury Directors and their agents.
This is tho first time that a formal proposition has
, beiip -.jnado to change l our hard money Government
(as it yras intended to-be) Into a paper machine; and
it is tluTfnst time that thcro has been a proposal to
mix it up with trade and commerce, .by making it a
furuikhcr-of exchanges, a bank of deposite, a furnisher
of piper currency, and an imitator of tho old
ration in its continental, hills, and a copyist of the
English Exchequer system. Being the first timo
these unconstitutional and pernicious schemes were
formally presented to Congress, ho felt it to be his
duty to disclose his opposition to. them at once. Ho
would soon speak more fully.
Practice vs Puofessiox; —Our reader* will recol
lect the outcry that was mado ,by tlio' orators and
editors of Federalism during the last Presidential cam
paign, abouithd pretended extravagance of Mr. Van
Huron’s the promises they hold
out .to the people of reforming this abuse, .provided
they got-into power—lt-wUI-bo rcmembcrcd also, that
they pledged themselves to carry on the government
with a sum not exceeding fifteen millions per annum.
Now what do wo'Seel The President, in hisSnuod
message, has stated the alarming fact that the expen
. diturcs for the year 1841, exceed thirty-two millions
of dollars! and that-from a'surplus on hand at tho
commencement of tho year, of'nearly a million of dol
lars, there will bo a deficit in the Treasury on tho last
day of' this month, of over SEX HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!!
And all thistoo in tho first year of the reign of tills
“reform” administration!! 1. _ /• - w •
- Figures do not lie, and-the'above array of expendit
ures, ,dM.,must bo well calculated to open the eyes of
the people to the true, state ofjdffairs—to Iho cgrcgious
mistake they raiple in placing the reins of government
jn.such hands. The estimated expenditures of Iho
year ,1841, mado at its commencement by the then
Secretary of the Treasuiy, Mr. WoonaunT,amounted!
if wo, mis take not, to less than iweniy-Jive milliom,
and this sum ho considered abundantly euUicicnt to
meet all the demands upon the Treasury, with a fair
i prospect of being able to reduce the expenditures in a
year dr two m6i#;. tg t several millions less. But thia
system of economy does hot suit the present party in
power; they have alter years of toil, got control of the
purse strings of the nation, and they are determined to
make use of tho treasure with an unsparing haiid.—
instead of trying to reduce the expenditures of the
government and lessen the burthen upon the people,
as Mr. Van lluren Wes doing; and as thkx promised
to do, thoy ore increasing them to a fearful extent, and
1 there « every- indication ,of a large national debt hang
- ing the country, and paralyzing its energies, be
fore Ike termination of the present term of mis-rulo. •
The most, important Foreign news, la-ought bytho
. f. -adia. which' arrived at t Boston, op .Tuesday week;
Is the aeeouehment of tire Queen, Victoria, and tho
birth of ah.heir Jo the throne! occurred
on the Oth ult., and the ’English nation is rejoicing
without measure. The Queen had promised Prince
Albert some'tithe ago, that "the next should bs a boy”
heir 15]
Hon. James Buchanan.— Several of tho
Democratic papers in this State have already bybken
ground in favor of this gentleman for tho next Presi-
Tho lost Harrisburg Reporter contains ex
tracts, from some of them, showing most conclusively
tho direction that.public opinion is taking in the mat
ter, and wo shall embrace an early opportunity to trans
fer thcm 'to our columns for tho benefit of our readers.
There cannot bo a doubt but that Mr, Buchanan hap o
strong hold on tho affections people; not only of
Pennsylvania, but of thc whole Union, and we know
of but few other statesmen of our day wfip so richly
deserve it. During the extra’ session of Congress, ho
was tho acknowledged Icadcr of fhoJDcraocratic pha
lanx in the Senate,,and his. masterly speeches on tho
McLeod question, tho Bankrupt Law, and (be Fiscal
Corporation, have placed him in of all his
distinguished contemporaries. There is no irmrvel }
then, that multitudes ‘of his fellow citizens are looking
up to him as the next Democratic candidate for tho
Presidency—and, olthough we consider the. agitation
of the question still premature, yet it is_difllcult to sup
press tho grateful emotions of a free people, and we
shall assuredly not attempt to smother popular senti
ment on this-or any other question. So long as theso
things are done in a propcr r spirit no harm can result
from their agitation, and we are not sure, but that after
all it is tho true course of policy to pursue. Tho peo
ple are heartily sick of tho present extravagant Federal
administration, and perhaps it is well for them to cast
about thus early for a suitable hclms-man to, right the
ship of State'. Besides, the gallahtbld 'Keystone has
claims which may-up longer bo postponed, unless for
very substantial those reasons we think
cannot exist when such.a man os James Buchanan Is
offered to tho Democracy of the Union. .
Mn. T atlou’s Lectures. —This gentleman, nccor*
ding to arrangement, lectured in tnisDdrough pri Sat
urday and Monday evenings last, on the subject of
“Common Schools.” His first lecluro was but thinly
attended;-in consequence of tho badness of tho walking;
the second, however, commanded an overflowing-house,
and, so far os wo could perceive,-the largo audience
were most agreeably entertained. His second lecture
embraced a great variety of matter Connected with the
subject, and. occupied nearly two hours in the delivery.
Mr. T’s object in travelling over the State, is to*
draw tho attention pf the people to tho defects in the
Common School suggest such improve
mcrils as will be likely to. tcu\cdy r . Vria
gross Trem town to town, he collects all the information
possible of the.state of the schools,‘with a.vicw, if wo
.rightly, undersloodhun, of making Jixcport to tho Leg*
islutqre,-and urging upon (hat .
Tcvisiom>f the sysuJm. During liiotay in dus place
he visited some ten or twelve of qur schools, and ex
pressed himself highly gratified with their condition.
flj*A correspondent desires us to enquire, why it is
that the Town Council do not mako, some' repairs to
ths* cobthcm. end of HandVer street? He states that
•the mud is now so'dccp there/ that-the street is render
ed almost impassable, and wonders .whether our Bor
ough authorities are not highly'ccnaurablo/for this ne
glect of their dutyi . , - .
There is fccrtainly neglect-some where. Not only
several of obr streets arc In a bad condition; but some
of the alleys have become perfect nuisances, Tho two
alleys,,in particular, leading to the public-school build
ings are a disgrace to tho town, and if there is not
soon somctliing done with thdm; it will be impossible,
for the children, particularly the female portion of
them, to get to School at all in wet weather. We true*
tho Chief Burgess and Town Council will direct their
attention to this matter. '*
CONGRESS-, —Both houses met tirl Monday the
6th iiißh, a quorum.being prcscnt-ln each. Nothing
scarcely was done except tho appointment of a joint
committee to wait on tho President and inform him of
tho organization. Some difficulty occurred jn tho
House relative to tho adoption of .tho Rules, in
queue? of Mr. Adams introducing tho Abolition ques
tion. After a sharp debate, tho amendment of the old
gentleman to rescind tho 21st rule relating to abolition
papers, was rejected by a vole of 84 to 87—and on the.
next day, a resolution was carried, by a voto of 97 to
95, adopting the rules as they stood at tho close of tin*
former session, until otherwise ordered. Nothing far
ther transpired during the last week worthy of note.
ANOTHER DANK ROGUEi— Tho Boston. Ad
vertiser of Monday week says:—“Wo learn .that on
Saturday it wds discovered that thcro was a defalcation
in the account of the Teller of tho Eaglo Bank in this
city. It was ascertained on investigation that he had
been improperly, using the funds of the Bank, by loan
ing money on securities pledged with him. It is ap
prehended, from tho result;of such examination of tho
accounts as time has allowed, that tho Bank will lose
from 25 to $40,000.” ’
The Vice Puesiwknt or Texas. I —The Whitehall
(N; X») Chronicle says;—‘‘Shadrick- Burleson, belter'
known hereabouts as Shad Burleson, is now \ r icc
President of tho Republic qf-Texas.—He-is well known

THE SCHEME OF FINANCE!— I The Globe has
tho following judicious remarks upbn President Tyler’s
scheme of finance, pointing out in a striking manner
some of tho prominent objections to the proposition and
showing tho dangers which would follow its adoption*
The article is one which demands a careful perusal—
its anticipations, correspond with all that experience
has taught us, and it Is well that these things should
bo stebdily kept in mind:—
But tho plan of a Government paper currency—of
Government dealing in exchange through a board of
control—and of receiving depqsites and omitting certi
ficates' on them to .circulate also os a currency,-how
ever convenient in many respects, wo apprehend will
not.meet the sanction of Congress or tho country.—
Whenever'Governments,whether, monarchical or re
publican, have undertaken to make any *by authority *
substitute for tho money of tho world, it has hitherto
proved a failure; and the failure has ever .been tho
worse where it has endeavored to odd to its functions
that of a merchant, dealer in exchange or banker.
A paper currency, issued by a State, has never yet
succeeded. { It invariably increases iq amount, until,
whatever may bo tho confidence in the ability and fi
delity of tho Government, tho excessive quantity cheap-,
ens it, and makes an incalculable changeln the prices
of all commodities. Tho standard of value is utterly
lost sight of .in tho constant depreciation of-the paper
medium of exchange, and tho whole business of society
is converted into a speculation upon
money whichtlio v iqflncncqs’brought to bearupon
it to issue.- .Arid thoi'o
iano auch thing os sotting bounds to these influences.
If a war comes, necessity sweeps, away all resistance.
It is,easier to issue paper dollars- than to borrow—
universal ‘Ovcry' Government issuing
paper-money pending a War, is a downward progress
as long as. the moncyUhus manufactured will pay .for
•its manufacture, and leave any profit worth considera
tion to the Government making it. It is then given
up, and perishes in tho hands of the people, after in-‘
Aiding immense injury nob only upon tho -fortunes,
but the morals of. (he community—tho honest and
crcduloiis being the principal sufferers—tho knavish
and.distruslful being the.only gainers. . #
Government paper money is never redeemed after it
has run its course of. depreciation. To tax tho honest
and industrious clasSlk for such a purpose would he
doubling tho wrong perpetrated on them, while the
paper currency is- running its career. As long as it is
possible.to buy any thing with it, tho products bf*tho
farmer, the mechanic and manufacturer are obtained
for iti It uhdcrgocs its depreciation in passing through
the hands of tho community; and taxes every man who
touches it and gives any tiling of intrinsic value for it.
After it has passed the period of circulation, it is found
in the hands of tho gambling spcculatingclasscs, who
obtain it for little or nothing. If when a thousand
dollars of this money, which has giadually taxed tho
whole community, until it has fallen to tho value of a
fiinalc dnllar-u-ftw price at which the speculator buys
it—were paid in specie by thd Government, dollar for
dollar, it would require a lax to be levied on that very
portion of tho people which has been already taxed by
giving their commodities for it, wlulo undergoing its
progressive depreciation.
This notorious truth hos always prevented Govern
ments from redeeming their exhausted paper currency.
It is considered as having operated as an indirect tax
on every body, and the Govcrnmorit dare qot levy a
new tax to make it good, dollar for dollar, ontJic heads
of those who have borne the greatest share of tho tax
in the first instance* '
A paper' money system not driven on .by a war,-al
though not so rapidly, not less surely runs into excesses.
President Tyler “proposes to limit the issues to an a
mount not to oxcccd.Cftccn millions of dollars, without
tho express sanction of the Legislative power.” Well,
how long Would it hoTiefore tho multitude of appropri-'
aliens which tho log rolling interests in Congress at
ways possesses the, power to raise dp, would demand
an increase of another fifteen millions. When' these
appropriations are to bo provided for, not by taxes but
by paper money, made by tho machine of the fiscal de
partment, has not all experience shown that they are
voted without stiutl Among us there iareason to ap
prehend that there would be a race among the States,
whenever the appropriations had been begun, to ac
complish objects of peculiar interest to a portion of
them, to try their strength and activity toseo which
could get the' most. What with' tho pressure of
the Representatives of i States in Congress to recom
mend themselves by drawing to each tiro greatest share
of the' appropriations; and tho universal activity of the
debtor anil spuculufing classes tp rudhc money plenty
—to cheapen it—so as to relieve them from dilficultics,
no end con doubt Ural, in a few years, all prudent res
olutions in Congress about the limitation'of issues
.would, bo broken; and tiro proposed system lead into
the ddwnwafd career which baa ever attended all such
systems. Nothing' but
fenced about with oaths and every other sanction that
could bo dcviscd, would ever keep lire issues bf llro
paper money within any given limitation. It is ques
tionable whether ingenuity could devise any constitu
tional provision on the subject, ll;at could hot bo
avoided; such ia the efficacy of money in warping tho
consciences of men.
■ Tho fato of our continental money cannot bo forgot
tcn:> Tho fato of Treasury Notes during tho last
war, though issued comparatively to a Very small
amount,‘(tho resources of. the country considered,) is
not a less impressive.warning against entering upon
another, paper money experiment. Tho Treasury
notes of the last war, although not issued as a curren
cy, and .therefore not subjected to tho severest test of
public confidence, yot went down 20 or 30 per cent,
, below tho paper df suspended banks. If these Treasu
ry notes hod been really put .out' as a currency instead
of Obligations for an indirect loon, they’ would have
depreciated much more; for when a Democratic Gov.
ommont has once taxed tho poopid with a depreciated
currency, it is.herd toget tho.peoplo,'who must vote
tho* taxes to redeem it, to- put 1 tiro imposition on them
selves, to make good tho paper in tho hands of specu
lators who’ have obtained it for little or nothing. Tho
first tax they pay without rebelling, because it goes to
the Government; tho second tax; to make tho bad
paper good. again) is for benefit of tho speculator,
and is obtained, if at all, with difficulty. The knowl
edge of this state of things must always render a paper
currency, issued on the authority of a popular Govern
ment, rapid and unresistihle. In monarchies' and ar
istocracies, it is to some extent otherwise, far there the
classes that hold;the securities of Govcmrient, are
themselves the LcgislatonC'tvbo impose the taxes.—
This is the reason that the excessive pulilic debt is sun;
tained in England, It is ,in the hands of those who
vote the .taxes to pay Ihd interest. If this debt consist
ed of depreciated paper in the hands of speculators of
the inferior classes, it would.hever be paid.
