THE VETO.

lie VETO.
The veto put by the President upon the Maysyilre
Road, as the intelligence of it extends IVES. and
North, occasions the vellest ferment. In MARYLAND
particularly, there are strong symptoms of sudden
and thorough revolution.
There has not been time TO hear from Kentucky
and Ohio but the impression which the news will
cause in that quarter, may be guessed from their deep
interest IN Internal Improvement and from the heats
and violence which Mr.. Senator Bibbs vote against
the Maysvc bill, had already called forth in Kentuc-
KY lie was burnt in efGgy in various places-con-
duct which Injuries good cause, and does not help
bad one. The Jackson papers nothing doubling that
the President would sign the bll were already, in
that anticipation, making new and large drafts upon
popular gratitude and affection. We look with soue
curiosity. to what effect the eefo will have upon
them 1t will come like thunderclap and in it's
suddenness give them no time to prepare for sum-
mersett Perhaps their course may be conjectured
from an anecdote told of a good Jacksonian in this
city, which we have heard nearly thus, friend
going into his lodgings, told him 1.-THE news being
asked that the President had approved the Maysvile
bill lie replied that he vas glad TO hear it, as he
had no idea of the Presidents opposing the will of
a majority, and unsettling the policy of the Nation
No, but said his friend mistaken he has REJEc-
TED the bill Has he? says our Jacksonian: Huzza
for Jackson! Huzza for the man who prcfers the
Constitution to popularity. In the same accommo-
dating spirit opinc, will the Jackson Editors in
Kentucky receive the counter buff Of the Veto.
The truth is. that the friends of Improvement have
the most substantial grounds TO complain of the con-
duct of the Presidents for his Veto; not for his
preierrng tho Constitution the fulGlment Of thei
expectations but for the profound hypocrisy and i'm
penetrable caution in which he concealed his scnti
monts. From the year 1928, when he was elected
into the Senate of the United States and became
candidate for the Presidency to the moment when il
was probable the Bufaloo bill would be presented 5r
his signature, at the session of Congress- mono
but the initiated, the chosen few, had right to
doubt for instant, that he the fast and uncom-
promising friend Of informal Improvements. lie
had voted for at least three Improvement Bills when
in tho Senate; he had not iniimat ed TO the Public any
change Of opni on; and he had for sr years suffered
his friends openly and ovowedly TO occtioneer for
him in every corner Of the United States where
friend of tic system could be found, as i,s known
and tried patron. Tie friends of the system elected
hum. Without them he could not have been elected.
When therefore, they find all their hopes suddenly
blasted, great interests sacrificed or indefinitely i'm
pcdcd, themselves dupod and deceived aud made the
