' ing their.opinione. In good o'd times, the Peen: dent delivered his message in . pereou, and it was a . ' ',brief, policed, Government paper, embodying rather suggestions to the People, than arguments . in favor of partizan opinion:l4 The headset( De. • ~ partmente made their communications to the Ex ' ': caution, and never dreamed of filling up half of a Mammoth now paper, either with exaggereCed opinions of their own exploits or with false state. meats of the doctrines of their. opponent. They were party men as men, but not as public officers. • ' They rccOrnmenV their own measures, but never depreciated or misrepresented those oil opposite 1 creeds. They suggested what they e r ateeed right, bat never dictated to those whose business it le to -enact laws for the Executive and hie anxiites, to ' put into execution. How different the Message of the President,— how widely different the Report of the Secretary Of .the Treasury. In this lest important paper one 'hardly know's at which most to be amexed,—tLe omitted troth or the stated error. It 'is shameful that public el:Beers, owing their services to the - whole 'country, should nee their public piece. (or the propegation of mere party creeds, but still more disreputable is it that their time and the pub. lie money, should be employed to give currency to . ~ so'maay practical falsehoods. The Executive or ' gan commends Mr, Walker's free trade enthosi• rum to the young mon of the country.

Shut up in his little box in the - Treasury Deportment, Mr. Welker appears to have shut out all the world besides. His world has beer: ' the Taunt, buildint—hie throne the strong box 'olthreGovernment, and his val , fects the office,. of the Department over which he had control. Even England is called upon to render homage to hi. person, because a British House of Lords, in or der” to promote the interests of their own people, gave currency to his free trade reports to the Cen tres' of the United States. British Free Trade, indeed, Lillie:unbent the Report isidolieed, but with , what propriety lot the world judge as they rend, and remember the frightful commercial diameters which base of late been borne to us upon every ' ° breer.'e from the shores of England. Mr. Walker swells his own praise. through England for her -adoption, as he 'would have it, of his syetena"of ' Froo•Trede. But, careful to omit the truth, or rather not to state it, ho trey. nothing of the Brit. . ishrestrietleine,—nothing, Indeed, of her free trade theories to the admission of goods which cuter into „ . the manufacture of her own goods, and which are ' f thereby doubly protective, while tho American Tariff of 1940, does no such . thing as this.— ' So of Chins,- of France, RusOis,Austriadand to : • smaller powers of : Europe. fiothing is raid of ' their restriction!, 'while W13:10 act of legielatlon for their, own benefit is trumpeted forth as a . •geeayiberal concession, in order to ileteiy us into !. its imitation. - ~ , .

Mr; Walker, too, it stadimuly careful to omit wherein his Tariff bas been ;prejudicial to the private and phblic in tereste., He tells us that Coal is in great demand,—butraysiot One word of the quantities of Coal brought from England, endro ecntly in large qnantities from Nova Scotia. He is careful to omit all mention of the influx of a 'clan of almost worthless British goods, which hake almost driven our own from the market. It is in there respects that the report of Mr. Walker is moat faulty. Wedded to his theories, he Makes every fact tell - upon them, and. omits all mention of the fact which might-change tho result. Free trade and foreigri trade againat ,Protection and Home trade, are idolized, and all the world has been ransacked, and Mr. Walker made physically ill to sustain opinions and creeds which strike at the vital interests of the Republic. We are even told that "we regliire no Proteition." What all the world besides has deemed wire and necessary for their own safety KMd prosperity,—and that which old and intelligent 'nation., led by the lights of experience, have adhered to for ages, title Mr. . Walker would abandon at once, placing us at the mercy of the wind. and the waves of every sea and every ship, every trade and every nation, on. der tho coo. 'Spare us from inch folly.: a. a.
