That those differen ced should be freely expressed and freely canvassed, only shows that they are not so subservient as to yield implicit and blind obedience to 1'xecutive or party dictation, and, like the loco focos upon the passage oi me. ou i icasury om, contrary to their J J own better judgement, immediately bow the knee to the golden calf set up for ihem to worship but if, from these minor dif. Terences, the locos have founded their au. ticipations of the defeat and dissolution of . ' M. . , , the W hig party, they have moored their hopes with a rope of sand. The Whigs, as a party, in the true spirit of Deinocraey. will be found ready to submit their f .1, , .. i i , ,1, , i own differences to tho ascertained wisli of a majority of tlieir friends, and as American citizens, to yield obedience lo the expressed will of a majority cf tho pe-opie. President Tyler, in his message, in language plain enough for those who wish to understand aright, urges upon Congress the necessity of establishing a "suitable fiscal agent, capable of addimi increased facilities in the collection and disbursement of the public revenues, rendering more secure their custody, and consulting a true economy in the great multiplied and delicate operations of the Treasury Department." "Upon -mch an agent" In R.avj l,ilt?iir'i:i. in :oi fimnen! ilrorp.i tin J ' ' "H f stablishnien' of a currrm-v of wii'-r:.-

which is of so great importance to

all the essentia! interests of society." Now, ii our opponents cap. point out any other institution than a National Bunk, capable of establishing tt currency of uni form value, adding facilities to tho ooiicction ami disbursement of the public revenues, rendering them more secure in their custody, and of consulting a true economy in the operations uf the Treasury Depart ment, then we will confess there may Le ,son10 vagueness in the above quotation .All experience has proven that these requisites are to be found in nuither the Sub-Treasury nor State Bank svstcm. Although Mr. Tyler admits that General Jackson wad sustained by the popular voice in his veto of the United States Dank a j; ,hPn existed, and though Mr,. Tyler jm,v hlvc oPPoed the re-charter of that j Hank as unconstitutional, yet it does not i follow as a matter of course, that the peopeo ple even then condemned a National Bank in toto, or that Mr. Tyler would have op posed the charter of such an institution, freed from what ho mirht have considered constitutional objections. Nor Joes Mr. Tyler in his late messnge say (in relation to any fjscal agent that Congress may pronose) "such a measure I wiii approve unless unconstitutional," but very properly reserves to himself the ultimate power of rejecting any measure that may, in his view, "eomlici with tiie constitution, or otherwise jeopard the jirjcpcrity of the country." The assumption of the State debt? by the General Government is not, nor has it ever been, a measure rf the W big party. Neither the States nor the people have asked for any such assumption. With die cessation of the war upon State credit, the establishment of a sound and uniform currency, and the consequent return of pro.-pen tv, the State.? can work out their own high destiny. Hi strong rccoinmenda'ion of the distribution of the proceeds of the sales of the public lands, is grossly perverted in the article to which we have alluded. Hd recommends a discriminating tiriif for the purpose of ie venue, and in unison with existing laws, such a system, if suftieient V) meet the necessities of the Government, at the same lime that it will not interfere with the Compromise act. will atford sufficient protection to our own manufactures. His advice to the Senate in regard to np-jioi-.itmor.u to otliee, nr.iM warm tic heart f ev-ry patriot, and is in Mrikimr contrast to the conduct of Gen. Jackson who endeavored to weary th: Senate into acquicsefnee by re-nominating persons re jected by that body, and in deferring his appointments untd the recess of Congress, and then making them to suit his own views only. To the assertions thai "the Whigs have no common element but opposition," thai "so soon as they obtained power, faction would utterly destroy them," and that "such is now the tendency of every new event," it is only necessary to p-dnt to the most recent elections.

We hope Galveston Island stands in the same place it did when the money was buried llsrre, so that those who undertake to search for the lucre miy be sure they commence in the right place. .V. O.

Should it bo thought desirable thai such a squadron be put in commission immediately and kept constantly on duty, an additional appropriation may be necessary: for the amount of w hich, as well as the force deemed proper to be employed, I beg to refer to the accompanying report on the subject, prepared under my direction, by tins board of Navy Commissioners. The attention of Congress has been heretofore earnestly invite:.! to the state of our ordnance and ordnance stores, and I deem it worthy of immediate consideration. A sufiicieiitsupply of suitable arms and munitions of war is indispensable to the successful operation of the bravest officers and men; and it cannot, from the nature of the case, be provided upon it sudden emergency. Sailors may be hastily collected from our commercial marine, ships may bo purchased, but ordnance cannot be supplied on such an emergency, nor can some of the material; for tho preparation of ammunition be procured either by purchase or manufacture. Hence the ordnance should, by a timely foresight, be provided in adv ance, and the materials be secured from which a supply of ammunition can be speedily prepared. The accompanying report from the board of Navy Commissionars shows the amount of expenditure which will be required under this head.

Of met: demands no iioti can be tcnicn at time nor is it proper that an opinion as to their justice sh eeh now be express1 i. r these circumstances, two ques 1 tions naturally present themselves: how toe department to be sustained under present embarrassments? and what are litianeial hopes for the future? As no estimates, upon which can be based an answer to the lust inquiry, can be presented until a full statement of the balances due from postmasters shall have been reported by the auditor, it is passed, w ith iho single remark that, although it can hardly be doubled that a largo aggregate sum will be found due, it is to be feared that, from the small amount of j most of such separate balances, scattered throughout this wide-spread nation, the! want of responsibility in many of these, officers, and many of their securities, and the lapse of time since these balances accrued, but an inconsiderable part of the amount actually due will ever be received. It therefore remains for Congress to determine whether the amount now due to contractors shall be paid from the National Treasury, or whether this department shall struggle on with its present embarrassments, consuming it- daily accruirm revenues in the partial payment of old debts, and still leaving large balances which it lias not the ability to discharge. Notwithstanding tho heavy increased expenditure consequent upon the act of 7th July, D3S, and although instead of the supposed gradual increase of revenue; the receipts for the quarter ending tho 31st March last present, as compared with the corresponding quarter of the year before, a diminution of more than six pet cent,, still the department would probablv iincl sufficient relief in its future eper actions from the decrease of prices which, it may be calculated, w ill be hereafter demanded upon most of the routes, w ere i? not for the continually increasing exemtions in other branches of the service.

Such demands, deserve more consideration from the fact that, whilst at the recent letting in New York and the six Eastern States the accepted service by coaches and other modes of conveyance has been secured at an aver age saving of twcntyiico per cent, upon the contracts cf 1J7, there are but fewinstances where demands of incorporated companies have not been increased in such manner as imposed upon mo the necessity of suspending the contracts. Nor is the extravagant price demanded for mail transportation upon railroads the only manner in which these incorporations affect the revenue of this department. The facilities secured by this mode of conveyance for sending letters by private bends very seriously diminish the receipts of the cilices upon these routes. A single illustration will establish tl.b assertion. Iloston is one of the most important pointsof railroad concentration in the Union Its business prosperity" is proverbial; and yet, in that city, the quarter ending Hist March last shows, as compared with the coi -responding quarter of the year before, a decrease in postage receipts of three thousand one hundred and ninety-five dollars, being double the amount of di lmnution to re- found, in tho same time m any other post omco m tho nation, w ith the single exception of Philadelphia, which i.' another great termima of railroad communication. These facts re 1 aesentcd in no spirit of imkindness towards those to whoso management these incorporations are intrusted, but that I Lave considered it due to our hole people to refer to this sub11 -ii 1 11 met, as one v. lnch wdi ere lone can lor national and stade legislation. A considerable saving will be fund in tho curtailment of service generally, direeled bv my immediate predecessor, in limiting the transportation of the mails to six trips a v. ec k upon most of the routes throughout the nation. The embarrassed condition of the finances of the department, if ii were to remain unaided by Government, clearly indicate the propriety of some reduction of service, and the religious sense of the community will certainly approve the feeling that selects the :abbalh as the da on w rmed. den :U Yet ser ice . cannot beaviin .tanin the noma nc.it be pern e d 1 1 . iv upon contractors, and :n many ces cans; fran-port: great derangement ion of the mails;. Whilst in some sct ons f our enantrv this alteration has net oe.lv received a cheerful acquiescence, but is warmly a pproved. there has been great genera! complaint of its operation, and daily appeals for the old facilities are pressed upon the department. Without entering upo:i this subject at large, it is sufficient for my present purpose to state that, as this order purports to have been given to reduce tho expenses of the department, and to aid in t:rmerm'X t.iem witm :i its receipts, a return to the former service, this time, ought well be considered as a declaration of my conhdence in its ability to sustain the expenditure nece-sary for such restoration. 1 have therefore felt it imperative upon me to adhere fo this or der of curtailment. The building now being erected for the General Post Office is so far advanced as to givo assurance that it can be completed before the session of Congress in De cember. This is much to be desired, not only for the convenience of the transacting business, but that the public property may be kept in security. Such means us are within my power are- continually employed to protect the present building from tire, but in its exposed condition tho danger of destruction to the books and papers of the office is a source of constant anxiety. All of which is respectfully submitted. FRANCIS GliANGF.ll. To the Piii-.siPstNT of the United State The documents accompanying this r. port are necessarily omitted for want of room. 1 9g; . Hydrophobia. An afflicting case pf this terrible disorder has just terminated fatally at Harlem. The subject was a little girl named Mary Myers, daughter of Lawrence Myers. She was bitten in March by a dog which soon went mad and was killed. No evil consequences were anticipated from the bito of the little girl, however. The first symptom of the disease was noticed by the mother only a few days since appearing like mental aberration. The mother proposed walking with her to a physician. But the child was strange! affected by the air and light. During the walk she ran into a neighbor's house to hide herself. Sho then hid for fear in her mother's bosom bcrrorin to be allowed to return home and go to bed. Subsequently light, air, and water produced spasms, and she expectorated phlegm and froth. After a few days of spasmodic and shuddering affections, she died in frightful convulsions. A". V.

One would imagine that the great outcry which is raised by these gentlemen that the Administration was really carrying on 'Proscription'' by the wholesale'that the heads' of office holders were 'flying off' in all directions, and that the whula Whig party is little better than a (lock of vultures hovering over the bodies of the slain, and exulting in their banquet of blood. One would think too that the men whose 6ensitive feelings are to shockingly outraged by the removal of Van Pure'n men from office, who recoil with such astonishment and horror at the recital of the President's removals from office, hail never heard of such enormities since the foundation of the Government, that they had taken a long nap during the Administration of Messrs. Jackson and Van Duren, and had just awakened to discover to their infinite eurpriso and mortification the progress of proscription, and the departure of our rulers therein from the creed of Jeffersonian democracy. No such thing. They have been wide awake, and alive to their own interests for the la3t twelve years, and that is perhaps not the least of the reasons of their present grief and indignation. Others dare to remove from office as well as their own Presidents, and other citizens are allowed occasionally to fill office as well as themselves. The sort of slavery to which the poor are subjected, through the bad legislation of England, is thus set forth in a speech, made at a recent anti-corndaw meeting in Liverpool: "Robert Jones, a labeling man, seconded the resolution. He said that his appearance amongst gentlemen might eeen strange, but he appeared there as an advocate of suffering humanity cf the famished mother and her dying infant of the aged man obliged to seek for labor as the advocate of his own family in order that, when he died, he might leave the labor of his children unmortgaged to any man. For nearly five years past ho b.ui been in the habit of visiting eveiy Sunday mornir. the lowe?t habitations m Liverpool, and he had teen such scenes of misery, wretchedness, and want, that he bad often thought, 'O, gentlemen of England' how long will you continue to vviing from these poor people the last morsel id" their food." (Hear hear.) They talk of tho savrgcb of America, but the savage has his untaxed wigwam, eats his untax J com, and his game is free -as air. Teil the savage that they have a law in England which gave to one man j30O,0J0 a year, whilst the poor were starving that their food was taxed to keep up iho rich man's rent; go tell the savage that, and he would hardly believe it. (Loud applause.) Look to Ireland: the people never saw corn it was an eternity of potatoes with them. (Laughter.) About twenty-seven times a week four millions of the inhabitants had to feed on potatoes. Rut they did sec com, he could teli them when they saw it; they saw it when they sowed it; they saw it when thev thrashed it and they saw it no more. (Hear hear.) It was sent off to England, and that was the way in which the corn laws protected the people of Ireland. The landlords were draining their blood and sweat under the influence of the corn laws, and then told them that it was to their interest to support the corn laws, because cheap bread brought low wages.
