The National Intelligencer And Washington Advertiser

The MESSAGE of the PRESIDENT may be viewed in two points of light; first, in relation to that which it does not contain; secondly, in relation to that which it does contain.

The first point of light is of primary importance. There is a trite, but a true proverb, that "no news is good news."

It is the wish of America to live in peace. Tranquility at home accompanied by the diffusion of equal rights, peace abroad, attended with national honor, are at once the best evidences, and the surest guarantees of our happiness.

These we continue to enjoy, as the reward of our wisdom, virtue, industry, and enterprise. These may be sounding, but they are nevertheless merited encomiums, equally applicable to our citizens in their individual characters, and to the political institutions they have established. The President neither discloses actual or apprehended danger from abroad; or insurrection or dissatisfaction within our borders.

The second point of view, though of subordinate, is of interesting magnitude. It shows that the expectations of the government, in relation to the great measures of the last session, have been fully realised—More money has been received into the treasury, and a larger portion of the public debt been redeemed, than was contemplated. Every alarm, which opposition rung, is vanished into air.

Time does not admit of further remarks. But in our next paper, the subject shall be resumed.
