THE VETO.
The veto put by the President upon the Maysville
Road, as the intelligence of it extends Yves. and
North, occasions the llveliest ferment In Maryland
there strong symptoms of sudden
aud 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 Bibb's vote against
the Maysvie BILL had already called forth in Kentuc-
ky He was burnt in efiigy 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 bill, already, in
that anticipation making and large drafts upon
popular gratitude and affection. We look with some
to see what effect the veto will have upon
them 1t will come like thundercap, and in its
suddenness give them time to prepare for sum-
mersett Perhaps their course may be conjecturcd
from anecdote told of good Jacksonan in this
city, which we have heard nearly thus: A friend
going into his lodgings, told him 1.-THE news being
asked that the President had approved the Maysvile
bill. He replied THAT he glad to hear it, as he
had no idea Of the Presidents opposing the will of
majority, and unsettling the policy of the Nation
No, but said his friend, mistak en he has REJEc-
the bill Has he? says our Jacksouian: Huzza
for Jackson! Huzza for the man who prefers the
Constitution to popularity. In the accommo-
dating spirit opine, will the Jackson Editors in
Kentucky receive the counter buff of the Veto.
Yhe truth is that the friends of Improvement have
the most substantial grounds to complain of the
duct of the President; for his Veto for his
Preferrng the Constitution TO the fulhment of the
expectations; but for the profound hypocrisy and i'm
penetrobe caution in which he concealed his senti.
ments. From the year 1928, when he was elected
into the Senate of the United States, and became
candidate for the Presidency the moment when it
was probable the Bufaoe bill would be presented for
his signature, at the session of Congress-
but the initiated, the chosen few. had right to
doubt for instant that he was the fast and uncon-
promising friend of Internal improvements. He
had voted for at least three Improvement Bills when
in the Senate; he had not ntmnted to the Public any
change of opinion and he had for sic years. suffered
his friends openly and avowedly, electioneer for
hi in every corner of the United States where
friend Of the system could be found, as its known
and tried patron. Phe friends of the system elected
him. Without them he could not have been elected.
When therefore, they find all their hopes suddenly
blasted great interests sacrificed or indefinitely i'm.
pedcd themselves duped and deceived and made the
instruments OF dupng half nation it cannot be de-
MED we think, that they have some cause for exas-
peration. Pbcy however deserve it, and the con-
sciousness that they do, will concentrate the bitter
ness of the disappointment. They were forewarned
of this catastrophe they told that General Jack
son sailing under false coors; they we're remind
cd of the "Judicous" Tariff and of the duplcity
that evidently lurked under that ell chosen phrase;
but all would not do Every admoDition an
son. "Hurra for The Hero" They are served right,
and we for one, glad Of it. They will now per
force, open their silly eyes and learn to forcgo that
3ebasing and beastly devotion to man; regardless of
principle, and every thing but blind ilola;ry TO party
God.
