The report nf Ihe St-civtary f the Naw, will place you in possession of the present co.ilitioi of that iinporiant arm of the national defence. Every elfort will be made to add to its rhViency, and I cannot loo strongly urge upon vii, liberal aiipropriutions lo thnt branch of the public service. Inducement of the weightiest ch.tracii-r exisi for the adoption of this course of policy. Our ex tended and otherwise expnst-d mintime Irontier, calls fir protection, to the furnishing of which an efficient naval force is indispensable. We look lo no foreign conquests, nor do we propose to en'er into conii'tiiioii with sny oth r nation fr upr-. niacy on ihe Oeran but it is due not mily lo the honor, but to the seciiiity of the People of tue Uiiited States, that no na'ion should be permitted to invade our water at pleasuie, ami uhect our town and villsges to conflagration or pillage. Bconomy in all branches of Ihe public service, i due fmm ail tha public agents to the people but parsiinooy alone would suggest the withholding of tne necessary means, lor I lie protection ot our domestic firesides from intssion, and our national honor from disgrace. I would in t enrnestly recommend In Congiess, to abstain from oil ap ' prnprial ions, for objects not absolutely ipvessarv ; but I lake upon myself, without a moment ot hesitancy, all the responsibility of recommending Ihe increase and prompt equipment of Ihst gallant i Navy, which hae -lighted up- pverT"ei'witTrits victones, and spread an imperishable g'.-ry over the Country. The report of the Postmister General will claim your particular attention, not only because of ihe valuable suggest ions winch it contains, but b'vause of the great importance which, at all limes' attaches lo that interesting brsnch of thr public service. The increased expense of Iran ( porting the mail along the principal routes, nec-s-: sarily claims Ihe public atlentHKi, and haa awa kened a corresponding solicitude no the part of the UtvernoenL The tianamission of the mail must keep pace with those facilities of intercommunica lino which are every day becoming grester through the building of railroads, ami Ihe applira two if ateam power but it cen'-m he disuid ow!r that in, order lo do eo, the rosi Office D tinrtment Communication between distant parts if ihe Union, are to' -grtrVntrT)upied"-byitrrns, which, in the nature of thing, Do s complete monopoly, and the Department is therefore liable to boavy and unreas mable charge.

THK PitESIDKN TS MEbSAUfl The Message, of P.esident Tyler will I Huad in ibis pit tier. It is as ae'l written as ninny be fore it, and less nbji-clionalilo in length than soioe of tlirm. )' AccoMinjf to promise, he has presented hia itlnii of 51101106." As far as we,h ivvve,t seen or heard any exp'etsions of npuno i oticif it, the plsn seems in meet Ihe entire app'ob itun rinMlhrr parly ; it ha not quite Hank enough b r the Fe deralist, and a little I kj much Hank for the Repub- lieai'S a sort nf middle scheme that will probably fall to the ground tor want of supporters. But the Message is before our readers, and they can ju"' of the plan f tliemselvet. There is, however, ono rocomnvtidation con tained in it from which we entirely dissent, and agsinst which we strongly protest as advising a direct and unwarranted encroachment on Ihe righle of the Ststes. Alter mentioning the case of Mc- Lend, and it sttis'itctory settlement by trial in the Stale ol New York, the messsge proceeds to sy : M I cannot fsd, however, to suggest to Congress Ihe propriety, ami in some degree the neccsii), of making such provisions by law, so far ss they mny constiiiitionsllv do so, for the removal, at their commencement, and at the option of the pirly, of all such cases as may hereafter arise, and which may involvo the faithful observance and execution of our "N aiimief obligations from Ihe Slate lo t lie- -Federal Judiciary." We can perceive neither " ihe propriety " nor "the necessity " of making any such provision as this and apart from bulb, we deny that Congress has any power w hatever o undertake the " m iki.ig . such provisions." If the !nwsd a sovereign St ile sre violated either by foreign vagabonds like Mc Leod, or by anv others t lie !"'tate can tsko rogm znnce of the orTonee at her ii n tritmnals,-without either interference or aid from the Frdural anno, rities.and we much mistake the spirit of our people jtjtoe Statet nf the Federal Judiciary in cases involving their eeparato rights and sovereignty. We defer further eomn ent rn the Mes age un til Ihe public have had time to examine it. Traury .Xnt't. From tbe December statement of lit Secretary of the Tres.iiry, it apprs that there was. on tbe !id int., stxsit million of Treasury notes in circulatien; a larger amount than wsaeterouia'ani!. ng at any one tim during Ihe admims'ration nf Sit. Vsj Burcn. Now wbst we started to remark is thw : Ws here ste that the Government haa 7J mi II inns fd" notes in circulttinn, but who ever a ea one nt tlirm in N.tb Csrolma, particularly in Western North I 'sro. hnsl This shows the operation of oor fitis'inat tja- tern the mon"y is tuilrctri from epry part ol ihe owr(tsiirf.podu ll is rxpended only nt particular plarea, chiefly al 0 Smth ; hence il is Uisi itie North iies.res in q e eairs- Vtgtnl expenditures' by the Government b r the very sufficient reason that they mainly receive tbe benefits of them , they get all back that Inry pay.'tn.l ilmibie s much besides, while ws of the cnmih. pay mm than our part, hut get none back.
