THE MKSSjiGE. The message ol tlu President gave such universal and unqualified satisfaction to all classes of citizens, tha- for some days net an opposition paper was heard to utter a n.urmiir of complaint. They arc now however beginning one by one to pipe up their notes of objection. They seems to chime into tho tune pitched by Daniel Webster, in the labored article he wrote for the Monthly Magazine, and join in the chorus of opposition against the President on the ground that the reforms," the removals from office, are illegal, impolitic and unjust. From the National Intelligencer down to the Silver Gray Herald, the cry with them is ojjiee for life. It is curious to see to what their principles lead. 1 hey connnt conceal the old cloven foot of federalism that monarchical hankerings their longings alter ti c 14 perpetuities of the old world" as parson Everett delicately, but significantly expresses it, cannot be disguised or if disguised, cannot be fully and entirely conccah d I heir manner of arguing is equal to the syllogistic rules ot antiquity, and favors admirably the doctrines they inculca'c ; and the plan they pursue, of keeping all the offices perpetually in their hands They begin, t ho best men should be selected for office nun of intelligence, piety and wealth arc the best men we have all the intelligence, piet' and wealth on our side you have nothi.v but common people - filthy mechanic merchants and farmers 44 low people," destined,' as our patron saint, old John Adams, said, to labour."
