chfi!Jl what merit het i irnhbaboast, when another link is added to thu-cordon that is clt ing around us. Irie hoped 'that there'is some tlitake about Mr. .icD i' pc ition on ti' question. There is very little:doubt ofthe Le gislature taking high ground." Mte Message On-Monday the 4th inst , be ing the day iappointed by law, Ctongress was organized by the election of John W. Jones, Esqr., of Virginia, as Speaker of the House of Representatives. on the first ballot, which was taken viva sce. On Tuesday the President's An nal Message-was delivered, which. from its length, we are forced to omit with a promise to give the most prominent parts of it in our next, with our own .omments. Until then. we hope our readers will be content with the following synopsis ,extracted from the Southern Patriot. "THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. "The Annual Communication of the Feder al Executive to the Cenreses of the United States, will be read with general satisfaction. as a lucid exposition of the National concern. and clothed-in a style entirely suitable to such a dicamen't. ',Tbe Foreign relations of the country are in a highly satisfactory condition. The only open question with ary Foreign power is that in relation tothe Oregon Territory. This does o -tlireaten any interruption to the peace of the country, unless premature occupation of it, previous to adjustutent by negociation, should take place. "thPe'resident does not recommend any le. " gislaive measure in relation to Texas, but only a watchfut attention to the public interests. should any interferencebe manifested by For eign powers in her internal affairs. This is judicious, and is rendered the more necessary -from theimpotent threat, standing by itself, of .Mexico, but is significant when taken in con 'aexion with the probable circumstance. that some third power will stand'between her and harm in case of a rupture with the United States. "It is to be regretted thatthe national finances presents, during a period of improving pros S perity, so unfavorable an aspect There is an in ,creasing deficiency which nust be covered by loans, unless a considearble modification of the tariff takes place. The resonree of treasu y notes, as the President intimates, is unwor S thy the dignity of any respectable government Taxation, in the form of duties on articles now admitted duty free, and a reduction on -thers on which the duties are next to prohihi. tory, is the only legitimate source of revenue to cover a deficiency. *-The suggestiotsof the Presi.lent relative !o a permanent treasury note system not as a fi. nanciai device and a substitute for taxation, but as a means of controlling the circulation, merits legislative attention. It may become a question, whether a government issue of a stint less than that indicated hy the President. w.uld operate as a restraining or preventive check on the abuse of the paper system by :he States: and whether there is not too much hazard to the credit of the government from depreciation, not equivalent to the anticinated benefit. in an issue so large as to have on those systems a controlling influence "It must afford general satisfaction to hear that the Customs Union of Germany are about removing restrictions on our mercantile inter course with that.country. This is auspicious as the g'aJual displacement of those comnmer cial barriers by which the governnients of Europe have surrounded their mercantile puli. cy. Should Germany originate this liberal movement, it must be followed by other Eturo. pean nations." Southern Agriedturist.-The December No. of this valuable periodical has come to hand. and we are serry to find. that the pubbshers have, on account of not receiving the patron age necessary to its support, declined puhlish ing it weekly, as they contemplated.

Dear Sir.-The House is regularly and steadfastly proce'eding to busiuess; to-day a Bill limiting the power of the Legislature to contract debt, which was the special order of the day at half pact 12 o'clock. was taken uip and very ably discussed. and on the question of sending the Bill to toe Senitte, it passed in th affirmauive by two thirds in thr H2 onase of Re presentatives.-Yeas 90.

Q COLUMBItA. Decr. 9, 184'3 Sir-In consequence of indisposition I was deprived of the satisfaction of being present at the delivery of the speech by Mr. Preston, on Tuesday evening last, at the College Chapel. and am therefore unable to give you an ac count of how it'- came off." but from what I can understand from those who attended, Mr. P. acquitted himself in it masterly style. Both Hotses of the Legi.'.ature are moving on with their businesa with the velocity of a locomotive under a heavy pressure of steam, and from what I learn rost the members, there will be, barring accidents, lots of important bn ainess traisacte.d this session. On Tuesdry and Wednesday last, the Conr of Appeals was occupied in the Augusta Bridge Case, wl- ich, on account of its loug standing. and tike immense capital involved, created coo siderable excitement. The venerable fann aler of the Bridge appeared in Court. and by permission of thd Judges, plead his own cause. which he did, not with the sagacity of a well feed lawyer. but with the eloquence of an injur ed man. who wanted nothing but the proceeds of his labor in by-zone years, he was attentive ly listened to by the Court and audience, and, in my humble opinion he has been much ir, jured. The old gentleman has been much in disposed. but he acquitted himself in a manner that would have been a cedit to an able attor ney---he has my wishes for his success. The Conventions of Bible, Agricultnral, and Temperance Societies. came of well, and no doubt, will be beneficial, eventually, to ont State. as it has a tendency to gather into Con vention a large number of our citizens, who otherwise would not become acquainted with the policies best to be pursued in the different sections of our State, towards the advancement of those great causes. The Bible Societies has done much towards ameliorating the evils attending the want ofeducation; the Agrictl tural Societies have, by their researches, much eniched our Farmers and Planters, generally, in useful knowledge ; and the cause of Tern perauce has acted upon both as a main spring, moving thousands to flee from the "error of their ways," tanmd in unbnerous instances. turn ing barren fields into gardens. under the hands of those who once were the followers and wor shippers of King Alcohol. The t oad drawn together by the meeting of the Conventions have nearly dispersed. and there are but few strangers here. (save men hets of the Legislature.) The office seekers have gone to their respective homes. those who were appointed, no d'nht satisfied, and those who were defeated finding fault with the uncertainty of politicians. Next week will, I expect, he a trying time, as a resolution has been adopted by both Hous es to adjourn on. Tueinhy the 19th. as there is any quantity of business begun which must he finished. both of a pnhhe and private na turn, even should they have to remain a week longer, otherwise, a- number of the worthies who delighs in -.pending their winter hours in the "public sarae." will, on account of having their constituents bills, resolutions, &c. thrown on. or tinder the table, he forced to stay at home and attend to feeding their pigs and men ding theirfences The el-eti..r fib Judges will come off I ex pect the first of next week. One would sup pose. from the large batch of youiig Lawyers admitted to practice at the present session of the Court of Appeals, that crime was rapidly on the increase in our State, or that our tise Legislators had it in contemplation. perhaps, to double the Jude,-ships. to may profitable livings for the old lawyers, and make room fur the young ones. The President's Message has been received, and is spoken of. by some of the knotting ones, who pretend to be judges. as a very excellent State paper, cunsidering front whence it cmes. I shall leave here on Saturday next, for home. with a full determination never to spend my time. another winter, lonnging about the lobbies of the Re presentative Hall, unless I am sent there by. atnd with the consent of the citi zenos of my native district: yo1n mtay, theriefosre, consider mne a catndidate a: 'he next election. for a seat in the Ho:,ue of Delegates, and you can nect accordingly.
