Tresidrnt has left Coucress unadvised. The
representatives of the people have recently, after their maturett deliberation, come to their bett result. The details may be imperfect. As a systc.-n it 'vorks well." Those whose interest are involved, arc generally satisfied. It is a subject of co much delicacy, that "it

The Committee must be fully convinced, that improvements can be made, or they cannot, with a proper respect to the "extended interests it involves,1' hazard an effort. Such i the "infirmity ofnur natures" that the cnemiet of the proteetinsr system would rejoice to have the benefit of little "likes and dislikes" to aid them in their attacks. The PreidoTit also expresses his opinion, that "the effects of the present tariff are doubtless over-rated, both in its evils and advantages. " The Committee lire confident, that it5 evils are mot unreasonably "over-rated' Its advantages are so manifest, that they have been, in the estimation of many, too preatly undervalued. The President advises us, that the decreased price of raw materials, manufacture 1 article5, provision?, and lands, arises from a cause "deeper iin.l more pervadiiiji than the lariffof the United States."
He supposes "it may, in a measure, he attributable to the increased alue of the precious inetOls." The Committee are un.-.ble to say, how far this remark may a ."ply t other countries. As applied to this country, it i clearly erroneous. Appreciation in any com -nudity, cold, silver, corn, or lumber, dc, ends-, in a treat decree, on bund .mce orearcitv. If cnrrene v, w hether
comno-cd of silver, cold, or bank notes, is plenty, the nominal prire of all article require 1 for general con-umption will ri;e, because the owner of currency must use it for profit. The greater the plenty, the more it will be used. In such case, Icm profit ill satisfy. This can? j enhances the price of every thinj that currency purchase", for it must and will be employe d. The precious rjls are the base of o: r national currency. coaiiin rcial cin:-orinias are filled with them. Lxclianco on foriin nations was never lower, and if it seems to he cainst , it is only because we have, by law, tsi.ib'ishcd a relative value between silver and olil,whieh the re-t o( the world w 111 not adopt. It cannot therefore b'. fupj osed that the"rfidcei rice" of dome-tic productions is caused
by "the increased valee"' of the precious metili j and respectful coii.-iderit,on. It is to he attributed t domestic competition endeavored to do. 1J '.' re

subject I hope will engage your early attention, and while you make ample provision for the security of creditor against frauds, and to punish fraudulent debtors criminally, that you will so modify the laws, as to dispense, as far as practicable, with imprisonment for debt.

The Eastern Mails which have 1 : -n deranged bv the Snow-storm, all came in yesterday, to oar surprise, and, considering the state of the road, to the great credit of the contractors for carrying them. The papers are entirely barren of news, foreign or domestic, except what concerns the Snow-storm, which seems to have been as remarkably severe elsewhere as here. (Ireat loss a id suffering is anticipated among vessels on the coast, those in port or at
anchor appearing to have suffered very liitle in the tremendous gale of Saturday last. We extract the following paragraphs from Philadelphia and New York papers, which will serve, as weil as the much longer accounts ofthe Storm, to give our readers and idea eft: riui.vnrj.PiiiA, Jan. IT. Such weather as that which wa experienced on Saturday and a part of yesterday, had not occurred for several years preceding. The i.ccumilatio:i and drifting of the snow rendered all travelling impossible, and p-evented the milk men and other purveyors, who reside in the neighborhood of the city,
from coming ir,to town with the usual supplies. Carts and wagons were sscn, yesterday, passing through the streets, which had rarely appeared ia them, with such an apparatus, on the Sabbath. The Etorm is over, and the sun fully shines. We fear that very sad intelligence v. ill be received from the country, i.i ... "

Nfw York, Jan. 16. Sun. past 1. A Northeast snow storm comrr.enced
here about half past 11 on Friday night, and continues to this hour. The wind has now hauled more to the northward, and there arc some slight indications of a cessation ofthe storm. During most of the time the wind has blown a gale
11 om neany a northeast direction, and most of the great quantity of snow which has fallen, has been thrown into drills; some of these are live or six feet high ia our streets, and it is probable the roads in the country are so much obstructed as greatly to impede the travelling for some time to come. "W e have had no intelligence from sea, nor from the lower bay, since Friday night. No damage of conscquer.ee has been sustained by vessels in the harbor.
