 Presidents Message, is the omission press upon the attention of Congress the Tariff question: and urge it to a cordial support ofthe American System" With the utmost proprety this subject left to the discre ton of the Secretary of the Treasury. whose report is principally inserted in paper this day. As sthe dutyof this officer, exclusively, to watch the f. nacial of the country, propose the best constitutional measures for increasing the revenue and to recommend any alteration in the present of income the Treasury, as he is the only Head of Department who is required to make to Congress an annual expose of the of the concerns under his charge, it is really his duty and only his, mend to Congress a revision of the Tariff, whether to increase decrease the present rate of duties. This he has done, in very able and lucId manner and we should suppose the entire satisfaction of even Messrs Wells and Woodward, unless they are like Monsieur Wronghead, who, on entering his house, inquired of his wife, with upon her head, why she had not fed thespgshnd upon being answered hatshe had fed them, he repled-yes I'll it, for you cternaly interfering with that winch does you. First, Mr. Wells comes out with long whining paragraph, complaining that the President is inter- ierng with questions entirely without the constitution al limits by which he should be guarded.

 bnnkrupsy and ruin, because the President leaves to other constituted authority attention to cer- tain which do not pro perly belong to himself These supposed stretches of power and negects of duty portrayed in lively colors by Mir. Wells, and his heart to swell with all the anxiety of vete- patriot in view the degradation and ruin of his country. Has it, however, heretofore happened that young man, lacking some years of thirty with no more than common knowledge of men and things, has been able to convince an intelligent community that he is better acquainted with all the ramifcations of national government, than old and able n,who filled high offices with hononr themselves and their constituents long before he had being ?- Can he make them believe that when he censures, there is for censurethat his approval of men and measures is proof positive of their excellence will his ceaseless attempts at showing his very superb or knowledge of affairs only tend excite pity for his weakness and disgust for his oficiousness =? As for MT. Woodward, he has not the appear of honesty, eandor, and intelligence, which to superficial reader characterizes his brother Wells ]; but with his accustomed rashness in political matters, he rattles away hap-hazard whatever uppermost in his mind, without expressing desire to throw his bold assertions the mantle of truth and dor. What he says he says with vengeance, and leaves it for loggerheads decide upon the import which is attached to his articles; for even the editor himself is not dolt enough suppose that of sense will be iufuencedby his wild theories.

 {" Lost Chaa.'-Near the close of the day Mon day, l7th inst. William Darling Iritchard, lovely sprighty child, aged years of Mr. Darling Pritchard of Milton Society, left home in search of his father whom he thought to find at the forge. He told by the workmen that his father had gone into the woods, whether the thoughtess wanderer, it aE rewards appeared, turned his steps. All the feelings of parents heart awakened when Mr. P. re- turned to his house, and to the anxious enquiries of the mother for her lovely boy he learnt that his had heedessy strayed away in search of him. Enquiries were made at the forge, and the father could only learn that his child astseen tho bridge. search immediately commenced; but as it conjec- tured that he have fallen into the the neigh bors penetrated but little way into the woods. The mill pond drawn off, and the neighbours commenced raking the waters for the body, which labor continued until Thursday. The search then extended into the woods, where, in a short tme, under cluster of bushes the lfeless and fro- body of the little sufferer was found. It appear cd that on the Monday evening proceeding, some in- dviduals engaged in the search. had gone within a. bout twenty rods of the spot where the child lay but from mistaken notion that he had fallen from the bridge, the undivided attention of the people was turned to searching for the body in the river. The child had gone but little distance into the wood, when he was probably overcome by seer occasioned by chill and crawed under bush, when three days afterwards his body was found.

 The democratic nerves ofour brother of the'' Re- gister appear to have been considerably agitated at the notice, in last, of Hon, Moves Barber and as- that this fout," to his elegant dicton, which we uttered against the hon. member, was be- cause he is gentleman and old school repubIi- can.'' It is passing strange that should suffer such iapsus psnn9 go forth to the world, in the very teeth of our better judgment for have always entertained sentiments of high respect for the charac ter of real gentlemen and feelings bordering upon veneration for well tried, old school republicans We however free to acknowledge that do no make use exclusively of the political lexicon our brother Barber;hs appears to be lettered upon the back, with the word PARTY, while ours is lettered PRINCIPLE.
