The Federal presses speaks of the President's message in the most contemptuous manner—its , styli, language, sentiments, all are even beneath their contempt; if we may judge from their lan. susge respecting it. Notwithstanding their scan. dahlias assertions, we defy any one of _their ififfnber , to refer to a single Executive Document, within the last twenty years, which is more to be admired as a plain, comprehensive, business like cotnmuni cation.. Indeed the simple fact of such a continued torrent of blackguardism being directed against this message would, (if we , had not formed and ex -pressed our opinion of its merits, before we had seen the Federal comments on it; have gone far '.,to-lead our minds to contemplate it as a powerful and most able State paper. Grant Taylor ia New Orleans. The New Orleans papers of the 4th instant, eon fain very full accounts of the circumstances amen' ding the reception of Gen. Taylor in that city, :which go to show that it was one of the most enthusiastic manifestations of public feeling fora faithful public officer, that has ever been wit. - . nessed in' this country. How much more.grateful , to the feelings of the old General (and every true — ,patriot) must have been such a demonstration as this, than are those of another kind,ao generally made by Federal editors and leaders; in which an • impartial observer would see more of sympathy for 'the outlaws of Mexico, than for their own country and countrymen I Colonel Morgan at Rome. The pllint Colonel of The Second Obio Regi cheat was entertained with a supper, on the even ing of the 10th instant, at Columbus, at which the 'alter of the Ohio Statesman presided. The cum• pony was large—among Whom were many inern— ben of the Legislature. A number of highly pa— triotic toasts . weredrunk. In answer to one oomph naenting himself, Col. Monciaw made a_*.short speech, which must have met a cordial response from every one present; and awakened the most thrilling emotions. We will endeavor, ere long , to present our readers with some extracts from this speech. . War Meeting, in Westmoreland. We have had _ on hand for several days, the pro— ceedings of a ltirge and enthusiastic meeting in Westmoreland county; which we intenced to pub- . lish, but so much matter has been accumulated for, publication, that we fear we shall be unable to make room for them. We will say here, howev— er, that the resolutions adopted by the meeting per fectly accord with the honest feelings of sterling Democratic old Westmoreland; and-all know that she is always right! • Forgo Morning Putt THE PRESIDENCY. Your readers have been entertained, of late, by the contributions of some of our Democratic citi• tens, whose minds have become deeply agitated by the importance of the next Presidential election. With a great deal of stuff, they give some good advice as to the propel: course that should be w ised by our party. The names of a number of distinguished statesmen have been suggested in the Post, in cennection with the highest office in our country: Messrs. Dallas, Buchanan, Cass, and Woodbury. All of these gentlemen have ample . qualifications; and either would &weep this State, no matter who may be the opposing candidate.— The two first named are urged particularly on account of the claims of the State. I regret this. it`lt seems trifling and contemptible in any State' to set up its claims to the Presidency. Pennsylvania would in no respect be benefited by having the privilege of furnishing, the candidate. It would not redound to her honor or glory. I hate the course referred to, because it stars up sectional jealousies. It is true our State never furnished a "resident—but the same may be said of othera.— New Hampshire, that never yet deserted the De• mocracy, might urge her claims. Has she not a "right to the Presidency? So of other States. hope our friends will see in time the evils of this contemptible mode of electioneering. As true patriots, we should look to something higher than the mere accident of birth or resi dence, in the selection of a candidate for so high an office as President. We should have an eye' to the welfare of the whole people. The perpetuity of our institutions depends upon the integrity and intelligence of the leaders of the successful party. Without these, there can be but little hope. If the offices of the country are to be filled with a view to the gratification of the people of a single State or section, or to the aggrandizement of a few, we may turn our attention to some other form of ay- eminent, and pronounce Republicanisin a failure. But I will not geton so gloomy a subject, without mote cause than I see at present. There is too much dishonesty among our politicians—but the experience of the past proves that such are never successful in the end. It is the desire of all that, in the present pariloos crisis—while the country is in its infancy, and the greatest among us are but students in the science of government,—a liberal and enlightened course should be pursued by our party, in every State in the Union—since ours always has been, and must of necessity con tinue to be, the governing party of this country. We want a candidate for the Presidency. Whom 'shall we select I A man whose life has given evidence of a devotion to Right and Truth—who never compromised his integrity for the sake of present success. And while canvassing the cepa. bilities of the great men of our country upon such a standard, do we not, as by an instinct, recur to the name of Ex• President VAN HU . REN. God knows I would not detract an iota from the claims of other names that have been men tioned; but I am forcibly struck with the impor tance of 'again nominating Mr. VAN BOREN. I . believe be is our strongest man. The New Eng- 'land and Western States will go fur him only— and New York will go for no body else. lam in -favor of him because he is popular with the pea ' ple. His-noble-and patriotic condurt, doting his term of service, and since his retirement, has dis armed prejudice, and won tor him the respect and confidence of all parties: He, more fully 'than any other man, represents the sentiments of the m asses If this country; To borrow a wbig Arne he is the genuine embodiment" of democratic principles. He takes the lead in , governmental reforms; he does-not wait, to enquire whether the majority are with him ; but trusts to the " sober accord thought, which Is seldotn wrong." To recapitulate: L urge ,the nomination of 144.R.T; If V Ocrizar, , because he is a great states man, sin honest man, R firm pemocrat, (not in a party sense merely,' and p:,OgjA'be our most pop. ular grinditliste„ U:TICA. .. ..,..... „..._ ..... ..... .'. ,,, '. - i::•.. - ,.::=7'.i.' , .:',!' , . - , ,- -.,. , .-',' - '.- . -, . , : , - - r:fkl-'7• - :: - .. -, -:'i=3: - .

These cokssist of recommendations of en advalorem duty of :25 per cent. on tea and coffee; the reduction and:graduation of the price of the public lands; aui !the extension of the pre. emption privilege to every bona fide settler; from all of which is estimated an annual revenue in the aggregate-of $1,500,000 By the adoption of these measures, the loah might be reduced to $17,000,000. The subject of military contributions in Mexico is discussed, and a modelof operating suggested, by which the largest amount, it is supposed, would be derived. The present. duties are framed so as to yield the largest revenue; whereas the Mexican tariff was in the higheil degree protective and prohibitory. No data, however, is accessible, from whence to make any satisfactory estimate; but the proposal is to obtain,'fis tar as possible, supplies for the army in Mexico, from this source, and to diminish the expentliturEts of the national treasury in the prosecution of tht war. It is well recommeriped that in contracting a public debt, provision Should, at the same time, be made for the promptLpayment of the interest; and the gradual but certain extinguishment of the principal. Retrenchment has been effected in the means of collecting the national revenue, to an amount of .1500,000 per annum, not by seducing compensa tion, but by dispensing with every officer not ab solutely necessary for the service. The report advocatesi in an energetic tone, the reduction of the price of public lands, to settlers and cultivators; and anticipates, from such a immune, the rapid intrriduction to the Union, of two new States, Minesota and Itasca, in the great valley of the West. Information is furnished in relation to the explo ration and survey of die mineral lands on Lake, Superior, Wisconsin an . 4 Northern lowa The : legislation of tho' last congress with a view o the protection of odr soldiers and volunteers, in securing their bountiiands, is stated to be instil fieient. and further legislation required to carry DUt the benevolent policy indicated. The recommendation is renewed to establish ports of entry in Oregon, extend the revenue laws over that territory' t grhnt donations of farms to settlers, and school segions to every quarter of a township. The impor l tance of the settlement of Oregon in view of oimicommerce with Asia, add ing weight to the rekommendAtion. An ample return to the governm4it is anticipated (NM a just and liberal policy in that quarter. A number of , tableif..ore submitted exhibiting the state of the publin;Aebt and various trausac• tions of the department. From one of these it appears, that the amount of public debt liquidated in principal and interests by yearly payments trom Mt to 1847, a - 4483,800,408-79. "This table,'! says ithe report, "•is the recorded evidence of the will dad the ability of the Amer. , : I:_j. ~ ;{_ 1 S. ti t f ;`'l ~~~-~~"~ icrin Union to disclaarge'all its obligations, the amount of debt how due being 540,659,659 40— Kit= less than one tenth of thelunqunt ofprincipal did interest of the public debt which we have alneady paid. l'hese Payments lere,made with uniform punctuality, and , commen ing, with heavy amounts, at .periods when our population 'was vastly less than one-fifth of its Kesent numbers, Etna when its ability to tweet its engagements we's. even in a smallek proportion. , t . lt is itnpossible for any American citizen to regard this evidince of the honor" and good faith ofhis country, with any other feeli ngs than those ,of ;pride and -satiSfacuon.

The report adVances to the operation and effects of he constitutional treasury, which being it pas. sage of peculiar interest we extract entire : The constitutional treasury went into effect on thei Ist of January last; and the business of the grob eminent under this act, during the last eleven months, has been Conducted in specie; of *Melo, as appears by tat le 13, there was feceived during the lasi eleven months, for loans, cvs'oms, i landir, and miScellaneous collection'', the sum Of $4'5,667,986 48 in specie, and the corn of $18,22t3,516 31 during thelsame eleven rhonthi disbursed in specie uln New York '(see table Y) during the Montt of Aug ust last $3,340,706 48 in specie, was re ceived by the collector of that port, and in the last eleven months by him in specie $18,615, 422 2G. During the same month of August, there was drs. posited (see table GG) the sum of $5;795,120 92 with the assistant treasurer of that city, and traiVs ferred from or disbursed by that officer. The re ceipts and disbursements of the government in spcie, dt,ring the last eleven months, have amount• ed, together, to the' sum of $96,894 ,402 49; and not a dollar has been lost to the treasury, nor any, injury in fl icted upon any branch of commerce or business. The, constitutional treasury has been tried during a period of war, when it was necessary to negotiate very large loans, when out , eiriendi tures were being increased, and when transfers un precedented in amount were required to distabt points for disbursement During the last eleven months thltgovernment has received, 'traniferred, , and disbursed mots specie than during the , whole ' , aggregate period of fifty-seven years preceding,l since .hs a 'option of the constitution.

Such an ax passion, during the last spring and summer, accompanied by still higher prices, and followed by a greater fall, and by bankruptcies in England, to an extent heretofore unknown, finding our banks', and credit greatly expended, and re acting uphn this expansion, would have produced a revulsion here exceeding any that has heretofore occurred in, the country, A general suspension of the banks would p'obably have resulted; depressing the wages of labor and prices of property and products; affecting injuriously the operations and credit even of the most solvent, and producing extensive bank ruptcies. From this revulsion we have been saved ! by the constitutional treasury, by which the rpeAl cie imported, instead of being converted into bank 1 issues, has been made to circulate direCtly to's 1 great extent as a currency among the people, has' ing been recorned here during the 'sit elevenl months by the new orders of this departMent, .um I der the act of Pth February. 1103, and the gealousi cooperation of the able and efficient bead.of thei mint at Philadelphia, to the unprecedented extent ; of $20,755,04b 21; and there are thousands of ourl citizens now solvent and prosperous, who hav,t been saved from ruin by the wholesome operation of the constitutional treasury. The banks that so unwisely opposed the system have been' rescued, probably, from another suspension; their stork holders,depositors.and note holders from sivere.loss• es; and the country and government froth the ruin. ous effects of a depreciated paper currencyi If the union of the government with the banks sad con- I tinned, and their suspension and depreciation of Their paper occurred during the war, requiring' large specie disbursements, which suspended basks could not furnish, consequences the most disastrous to the honor and the interests of the country must have ensued. The governmer t is now disconnect ed from banks, and yet its stock and notes are at par,. although we have been constrained td contract heavy loans, and to keep larger armies in the field than at any former period. But durint the last war, when the government was connected with banks, its six per cent. stock and treasury notes were depreciated twenty five per rent., payable in bank paper twenty per cent. below par; thus amounting to a loss of forty.five cents in every dol. ear upon the operations of the government. In my, first annual report to Congress, on the 3d of De. cember. 1545, in recommending the adoption of the constitutional treasury, the following observations were made: t- 'Nor will it be useful to establish a constitu— tional treasury, if it is to receive or disbur,e rte paper of banks.' .• 'lf paper, in whatever form, or from whattv er source it may issue, should be introduced as a circulation by the constitutional treasury, it would precisely to that extent diminish its use as h a means of circulating gold and silver.' During and before the commencement of lhel last session of Congress, it was thought by Many' that this measure could not operate successfully , during war, and that large loans could not be he— [ gotiated if the payments were required in iiivecie. The department, however, adhered to the recom-1 mendations of its first report, believing !lint the government would be rendered stronger by • vorce, and that if the treasury should retina to banks to negotiate its loans or Supply its rtlenue, that both, if the war continued, would be instolved, as they were in the war 01 1812, in one Ictisnirion ruin. During the months of June, July and Au gust last, (per table N,) the sum of $6,000,00 was transferred from the assistant treasurer Of New York for necessary disbursements at New Orleans arid in Mexico. Heretofore, the public money by ing deposited with the banks, and loaned but to ' their customers, when such enormous transfers [ were made, a contraction of the banks with rhin— ous losses must have ensued; but the moneY,of the government is now transferred from New - )fork to New Orleans, and scarcely affects business.or the money market, because the transactione of the government are 'disconnected from. tho'ser Of the banks. When the government formerly received and disbursed only the paper of banks, 'whepeyer a revulsion and numerous bankruptcies occurred in England, they universallyr eacted upon tiny , Peril— ous paper system, so as to create a pressure ih our money market, a large and sudden contraption of the paper currency, a calling in of heavy Brans by the banks, and.es aconsequence, many.failures and most frequent suspensions of specie payirtents.— Now, for the first time in our history, althi:ingh fail ures in England of the most unprecedented mag— nitude have occurred, Including bankSlantt bank— ers, yet our banks and credit are sound r2rid, sta— ble, and the business of the country is still pros— perous and progressive. "Nothing is more injurious to all classes, but especially to our manufacturers, than , the' expert sions, contractions, and fluctuations, of the !bank paper system, vibrating with' every considerable change of the public moneys held by tham,as de. positories. This perilous and seduCtive bank-paper system opens temporarily, and beyond the wants of the country, a market here for foreigm.imports, not in exchange for, exports,. but fort credit; the' redemption of which drains the county of its spesie, contracts the paper currency, I forces, at al saclifice, the sale of domestic fabrics, and ilepressei rthe industry of the whole country.

By an exhibition of the, imports and exports Of specie, it appears, that for the fiscal year, ending the 30th June, 1846, there was an import of $3,777,732: and an export of .$3,481.417; leaving a gain of $296.315; and in .1847, the specie impor ted was $24,121489,4and the export $1,845,119, leaving the specie gained in 1847, $22,276,170.

The remainder of the report relater tolthe new 'tariff and its operations, with a variety! of inns trations from the past history of the nation, and a: number of collateral and incidental fact% ',demon- strative of the superiority of the system/ I From it we gather, amongst many others; the] I following items of fact: • The nett revenue under the new tariit.for the , year ending the Ist of December, 184, i 54341 300,000, being $8,"428.590 more than ode 1 ! old tariff in the proceeding twelve mou las. Our, 1 products are about $3,000,000,000, of Which on-1 ly about $130,000,000 is exported; leaving $2,850,- 000,000 to be used abhome, of which $509,000.000 is annual'y interchanged between the Stter, or a : bout $23,81 per individual; while our in t erchange I with foreign nations is only at the rate 030 cents per individual. This amount, it is tbou4tt, might be augmented by low duties to 09 cents, per indi- i %idual, or $900,000,000 in the aggregate, Which would yie!d a revenue of $90,000;000. It is con jectured that if the Canada% acre united' to us by tree trade, our exchangeswith those colo n iew alone. would advance to $10,000,000.
