We are glad that he has com.' to the conclusion "that the paper system had better probably never been introduced, and that society might have been much happier without it." These are his own word?, and we record them with feelings of p'easure, for they are truths, for the as cendancy ot which we have struggled, and shall continue to struggle with renewed energy. "We hurl these words into the teeth of the Bank Whig aristocracy, and ask them what they think of them, from tho man whom they elevated to the Presiden cy, with the hope of prostituting him to their abhor red doctrines. Mr" Tyler says it is to he d-sired that "every Bank not able to resume, should go into a liquidation of its debts, and not throw embarrassments in the way of those that are able; that from the fact that Bank charters extend privileges to corporations, from wh:ch individuals are debarred by law, thereby de riving three times as much interest onlhe same amount of money, there is no apology for a combined sus pension of specie payments. And whether Con gress has a r'iht to pass laws forcing them to resume he says is for its consideration.

Having published Ust week as muf h of the Mes sage as will he very interesting to the public, wi propane mere'y to give the substance of the balance of it, as briefly as possible. The President, in reviewing th McLeod ense, makes one important recommendation. He eig "rsts that Consrrcss, so fir as they can constitution ally do so, provide by law for the removal ofalhucli cases f om the State io the Federal Judiciary. He thinks that in caes like that of McLeod's, upnthe decision of whiv h depends the peace of the whole country, that decision should not be at thr will of n.StntP hut nf the Federal tjovfrnment;.hrou";h the Federal Courts. In speakin,jof th's part of tho Messaae.ae Globe savs that the President has made a totalmisstate- m. nt of the law, in saying that it was optonal with ULend to be tried by the State Court, 0 appeal to iuc,mn.. Crmrt And it scfuis tr. that the tut; kjhi vv -wr.- Globe's views are correct, for it truly Sys, "if Mc Lec.d had this o; tion, where is the Pftext for the President's saying that a provision by aw is neces- arv " to remove such cases to the Feeral Court. That i, the Message says McLeodjiad a right to do ihat, which it at the same ti me. at s Congress to make lawful for future criminals to d! Th Prradent calls the altentionfot Congress to the repeated violations of tho An i can F'ag, on the Coast of Africa, and says he fall not cease to 850,S73 urge upon Great Britain, th necity of a full and 126,173 ampje remuneration for all losseiwhich American 748,016 vcsgejg haTe sustained from Brilli violations of the 779,394 laws 0f nati0n. However mui he may "urge," 750,789 we predict tbat England will aver pay any such 769,244 debts as that, except at the poifbf the bayonet. 7,0S1 The wrons which tho United fates ar every day ' suffering from the aggressioniof this haaghty and 41-i5' J's 1 nation, are suffieiet cause to raise the indignant blood of every African citizen. And the lender a settlement is de!ed, the more she will be indebted to us, and he snger she will resr-lre never to make any re-'ressiWc look ftarSully to the day when the popular fefngwill no longer bear these insulti. " I ' In relation to the Boundr question, he says that hut little further urogreo bi beea made towards lU final settlement- dren, and the poor man with a large family of them, was certainly not drawn to have any bearing in fa vor of the rich man's paying his tax s cheerfully, for if he grumbled, we should not blame the poor man for absolutely refusing to pay. But such is Feder alism: none are "upright" but the rch! The Swamp Lauds. Vvre learn from the Raleigh Register, that the re cently attempted sale of Swamp Lands, in Hyde county, has proved a failure, not one sale having been effected. The State, he says, will have to suspend her operations in that branch of Internal Improvements. The Board of Interna! Improvements will receive private hids, by letter or otherwise. The Washington Republican in noticing this fail ure, says that the result is not surprising; that the peop'e have more swamp lands than they ran em ploy, and if those belonging to the State can be suld it must be to people from other States; and at the same time suggests, that in inducement be held out th framers of th a power not only not granted to Congress, but a power expressly denied. I he next proposi tiou is to authorize the t ederal Govenimeiil to furnu-h exchange to merchants. This is a new invention a modern idea of the power of this Government, inveuted by Mr Biddle to help out a ISational nank. Much as (.en ernl Hamilton was iu favor of paper money, he never went the lengtn of recommending Government bills of credit, or dealings in ex change by the United Stales Treasury. The lathers of the church, Macon, and John Ran dolph, and others, called this a hard money Government ; they objected to bank paper, and that goes beyond Hamilton, much as he was in Javor ol the system.
