The annual message Of the President was
communicated to the two Houses Of Congress
yesterday, at half-past one o'clock, and occupied
one hour in reading. As state paper its style
is far from that dignity strength, and terseness,
which should characterize document of that
kind. 1t has the usual fault Of all Executive
messages, length and diffusiveness. Some of the
topics presented to the notice of Congress are
highly Important, and will excite the public
mind we allude to that part Of it which speaks
Of Mexico and Texas. In the position taken,
that it is time the war between these two coun-
tries had ceased, we doubt not the country will
concur. Occupying the position the United States
does on this continent, she has right to assume
and ought to maintain this tone towards the
others; both humanity and justice demand that
she shall interfere and protect the weak, who
axe yet strong enough to maintain their indepen-
dencc, against the perpetual aggressions and hos
tlities Of the strong. Mexico revoted from the
mother country, as Texas revolted from her /;
both declared and maintained their independence,
and Spain has as good a right now TO claim the
former as one Of her colonies, as Mexico has to
claim the sovereignty of Texas. The President,
it will be seen, recommends the establishment
of sort of Government Bank. In other words,
he asks the privilege to issue Treasury notes Of
five dollars, for the purpose Of furnishing cur
rency to the country. We can hardly suppose
the majority in Congress are prepared TO grant
such request at this lme after having expend-
ed SO much virtuous indignation upon banks and
paper money, aud made such poiher about
hard money, metallic currency, aud SO forth.


The fiscal affairs Of the country, it appears,
are not quite in so Furnishing condition, or the
Treasury quite as plelhoric as could be desired.
