It is written-in a calm, dispassionate maanner, and would undoubtedly carry-conviction to the minds of all but the most bigoted-and intoler, ant Abolitionists.

The Mes sage trat'sa of the ~Texas question at somn length.- The President- thinks, that the lati Presidential election has decided the question *He says, "a controlling majority of the people and a large majority of the States, have declare( in favor-of immediate annexation.". He sayl it is their will that Texas should.be annexed t( the Union promptly and immediatelys. - With regard to the United States Treasury he says, its greatly improved condition afford: a subject of general congiatulation. "An es timated surplus ornpwards of seven millions o dollars, over and above the existing appropri ation will remain in the Treasgry at the closi of the fiscal yeaz." He say., that "the curen cy of the country has attained a state of perfec soundae-s, and the rates of exchange betweet diffetent parts of the Union are now reducec to little more than the mere cxpense of trans porting them from place to place, and the risl incident to the operation." The danger of toc large a surplusof public money is pointed out and a modification of the Tariff is recommen ded. With regard to the General Post Office the President says, "the affairs of this Depart ment for the last four years, have been so con ducted as from its unaided resources, to mee its large expenditures. On the 4th of 1arel next it will be found under the management o the present efficient head. fred of debt and em barrassment." The President recommends thi establishment of a line of Steam Ships regn larly to ply between this country and foreigi ports, and upon our own waters, for the trans portation of the mail. Those lie says conk be so constructed as to be efficient as war ves sels when needed. and would, of themselves constit'te a formidable force, in order to repe attacks from abroad." We have now noticec the principal points touched upon in the Mes sage. We leatn from it, that the country ii generally in a prosperous condition. It onlj remains for us to say. that the tone of the les sage is ca hI and dignified, and that it breathei a-spi jpatriotism, which is highly honaorabh .t. Or. [Correspondence of Advertiser.j CoLUMBa. Dec. 2, 1644. DEAR Sin: At length I am able. in somi degree, to comply with your request, to inforna you from time to time of the proceedings 01 the Legislature, and the on dits hero. The first few days of the session were consumed ii organizing the House, by the enrollment ofit members-the election of officers. the appoint. ment of Committees, &c The Hon. W. F. Colcock was re-elerted Speaker, without op position--than which a better selection could not have been made. He is a most mannerly gentleman-firm. dignified and courteous. O1 Tuesday the first message from his Excellency the Governor, to the present Legislaitre, wam eceived. upon a portion of which a divisior arose as to its disposal-whether by reference to a Committee of the Whole orto the Commit tee on Federal Relations. The mes age I have sent you, and pronounce it the most terse, log, ical and statesman-like document issued by any Governor within my recollection. Whe ther it be judicious at this particular juncture or not isa different matter. During its reading the rumblings of a coming storm became per ceptible,.and at its close there was a rapid sue cession of keen and angry flashes of oratorical lightning. The House is divided, not into two, but into many parties, al professing a desire to extend that cout tesy to-.th.Executive which is due to every department or our govern ment,and each disagreeing as to what course it most respectful After much debate the nes. sage was referred to a Committee of the Whole and made the special order of the day on Fri day-Mr Pickney in the Chair. In a com mittee of the whole, you know that every mom her has the privilege of speaking juast as ofter and as long, and about as desultorily as he pleases, and you may rest assured that ever)i indulgence of the prerogative is exercised tc its fullest extent. The chief division in the House is created by the conjectured effect tha the message will have upon our relations witi the Democratic Party of the Union. One sida maintaining that since we consented to act ii concert with that party-accepted the nomina tion of Mr. Polk, and will have assisted in elec ting him as the exponent of our principles. wi should do no act that may disturb the harmong of the party until some cause is given, ant certainly not condemn the gaits of the horsi until we have mounted him. That if-the met sage go forth to the world with its temper inni degree corrected, that South Carolina wil b e found in the silly position of contributing ti elect a President, and then quarrelling witi him before he has taken his seat, and that mhi tone of the allusion to the Democratic partyi unbtecoming in us who constitute a portion c it. The others say, that the principles and doc trines contained in the message are truly thos of Carolitna, solemnly proclaimed t '3'2.and de lineratelyireiterated in 42, that S. Carolina mum never descend from the high arnd commandin, attitude she has assumed-that they are unwi Itug to recede one inch from, the position alh has occupied in the face ot the world during th last.ten yoars, and that any of the resolution proposed, wIch are called pacific, vuill hztv the effect to dislodge and degrade her. C cotarse there are different degrees of modert ien or violence in the ranks ofec as yon i perceive by the different resoluations that havy been offered. For myselfI can agree in ever; particular with neither party in thesense eaci as understood by- the other ;and I will do botl the justice'to say, that I believe neither to he a tame or astiolent-as-the othier suspects. Influ emaced by 'the expositidn-of priadciples add dec trmae,; nade by the Deinocratic Convention a Baltimfore,-! felt a deep interest in the electio1 of its nonaiaee, as the truthful. representative e the policy o' the tSouth.

By the ,latter course-the State would be left free-to ac! hwien ~imergency occurred, and by the first adoption of the message by the House would have been considered but as courtesy to the Executive. It would have gone forth but as the opinion of tlie Governor of South Carolina, for which the State was in no degree responsi ble. . Even.had it created that panic amongst our Democratic brethren, which: seems so imuch to be apprehended, the Presidential vote of the State, which has not yet been given, would have re assured them. Had disaffection on the part of the State been suspected. the sus picion would not only have been removed, but greater confidence created, by the fart, that sentiments touching our must vitil interests proceeding from as high a source and officially biotightto the views of the LegislaMre of the State. were given the "co by." Either course would have been appreciated as ajtibute tn the Democratic cause, and the State understood as occupying her old ground, and awaiting fu. tnre devenopments. Our true position to the Demociatic party is to work harmoniously with it so- long as it acts with honesty anti f. delity towards us-with the distinct understand ing that our Itrinciples' are written. to be ex tenu-ited or varied in' the slightest particular. The me-sage softened by the resolutions passed unanimously by the Sennte, to my ,vision, seems to place its precisely where we ought to stand. I very much fear. however, that the tamely pacific and almost cringing resoluttons, that have been offered to the House, (which in all probability will appear in the Whig prints, and may be construed as evidence of unsound ness, certainly of much division,) may' con strain us to adopt oliers more stringent thac prudence would otherwise have suggested. The debate will be interrupted by the Col lege commencement, but will be resumed or Tuesday. When it is concluded, youshall hear from me again. The Committee on the Judiciary have re, ported unfavorably to an increase of the pow ers of the. Ordinary Very respectfully, yours. OITBAPTIST MIRISTERIAL CoNFERENcE.
