A writer in the Herald Of the Times,
is at loss to comprehend the precise
character Of the feeling which induced
us in our last to correct few of the
misrepresentation which have recently
appeared in that paper. Now as we are
always willing to assist fellow creature
in distress, without stopping to enquire
about his soorthiness, we will inform him
that the feeling in question was one of
pure indignation excited by pitiful at
tempt to catch a fsw more uotes by most
gross and egregious mis-statements.
Having satisfied him on that point, we
will charitably proceed to enlighten him
ON the subject Of sentence of ours
which seems amazingly to have misti6ed
him. The secret is, my little man,
there was a word omitted by the printer.
Has never similar accident occurred
in your Office ? Because if there has
not, you must have been aided by less
mischievous and more pains taking
Devils than have fallen to the lot of
mortal Printer since the days of Fauste.
The article in question was written word
for word as follows. "There is little
article in the last Herald of the Times,
which contains, we are bold to say, more
representation, moro absolute false
hood, than can be found condensed in
the same number of lines, in any publi-
cation on record" Now do you UNDER

THE VETo. According to the information
received from different parts Of this county, the
people are determined to support Gen. jackson
in the course he has taken relative to the Bank
The Veto message is generally BOXED on as so
satisfactory that scarcely any but the monopo-
lists pretend To find fault. Among those who
signed their renunciaton of Jacksonism, we
have the pleasure Of stating that all but few
of those who are not under the influence of the
monspolising interests, have come blck-they
acknowledge that they signed previous to read
ing the Veto message, and that since they have
done so, they consider tho reasons assigned for
rejecting the bill as irroiutablc. If there were
among the Supporters of the General admins
traton few who dsliked the Veto, they are
not going to abandon the old Hero ON that ac.

THE VETO MESSAGE.

Every scheme that designing, i'll
iriguing and prosecuting opposition
could devise has been resorted to in or
der TO embarrass the administration,
hnt our great and worthy Chief Magis-
,raie has shown by this act, that he stops
not 10 enquire what effect any measure
may have upon his election. His only
enquiry is whether it is calculated to
advance the general interests of the
country, or "Subversioe Of the rights of
TIE States, aud dangerous to the liberties of
the peoph,' and when he has satisfied
himself on that enquiry, he fearlessly
and boldly expresses his opinion, LEI who
will be made friends or foes. He has
thus furnished the most unquestionablc
manifestation that his moral courage as
state s,nan in the cabinet is not less
than his constitutional bravery rs sol
dicr in the field.
For ourselves, we have always enter
tanned the opinion that United States
Bank was necessary even with some in
dividual disadvantages, in order to have
agcneral circulating medium ofuniform
and established credit but the re-char-
tcring of set OF foreign corporators
with an exclusive monopoly for a great
length Of lime, involves another ond a
very different question. We believe no
intelligent and unprejudiced man can
rise from the pcrusal OF General Jack
sons objections to the bill presented to
him, without feeling the unanswerable
force ofthose objections, and without at
the same time, appreciating the honest
aud lofty Independence of that spirit
from which they emanated. Brokers'
STOCKHOLDERS and money spectators
will make an awful hue and cry we have
no doubt, but their interests are one
thing, and the Interests of the great mass
Of the community are another, and gen
.erally directly opposite.

THE VEro.-We have the high qualification
TO present to our readers to-day, the message OF
the charter of the Bank Of the u. States, with
his objections.
In this act, as in all the measures Of his pat.
riotic and prosperous administration Of the af'
fairs Of this government, he was evinced an up
right and unfaltsring devotios TO the popular
will, and the public interests. regardless Of par
sonal considerations, and fearless of the efforts
Of a mighty moned power, which with al its
eagncs,will be welded against him But We have
no apprehensions ofthe issue. The people will
in this act, as triumphantly sustain him. above
all the aristocracies and combina tions Of Wealth
as thoy have borne him onward through q ca.
recr Of public service and patriotic endeavor,
blessed beyond nearly all example, to the well
fare of his country and to his personal rsnown.

THE VETO. ANDREW JACK
SON

True to his country True to himself
With-a firmness unsurpassed by any
Roman, in the proudest days ofthe "An-
cient Republic" the veteran of Tennes-
see has vEroeD the Bank. He has done
it in opposition to the Nobility of En-
gland, the aristocracy of America, and
the interest of those Who'll loved Mammon,
rather than their country's veal. But,
when political demagogues shall have
dwindled into insigni6cance, and the
selfish murmurings of factious few
shall have died upon the ear, the name
of Andrew Jackson will stand conspic-
uous among the benefactors ofthe world,
frightening as time rolls onward.

PoBLIc SENTIMEnT.--Undcr this head
wo have placed number Of opinions, ex-
pressed by able democratic editors, on the
Presidents Veto. II will convey to our
readers an idea in what light General
Jackson's opinions arc received by his
Friends throughout the country. II is with
pleasure that we are enabled to state, as
tar as our own knowledge, at present, ex-
tends. wc have not noticed a single in
stance, among the vast number of period
reals, that have sustained him for the for
mer measures, but what ardently support
tho present one. The light that has
been thrown on this subject, through this
last message ofthe President, has caused
many who have heretofore remsiucd silent,
to take the same independant stand. The
manufactures, tho mechanic, and last
though not least the Farmer, tho bone aud
sinew OF Pen nsylvanis, havo been awaken
ed. Tho plain and simple rea sons, cotained
10 this veto, come home 10 them in all their
force. IL has given them new evidence OF
the great attachment. he bears toward
them. lie knows and feels their interest
for he, too, is farmer. Such man
the democracy Of Pennsylvania delight to
honor.

From the Bangor Republican.

Never has there been witnessed in
this country such an entire ront as tho
allied powers of the Bank and National
Republicans, have sustained from the
Ueto of the President, and the speeches
of Judge White and Mr.. Benton, in the
Senate, ON the return Of the Bill, and in
reply to Messrs Webster and Clay, who
had made a feeble attack upon the OBJ
jectiors Of the President. Our readers
have already seen the veto. BY this
time it has traversed the Union, bearing
hope and satisfaction to rhc bosom of
every American citizen, who is sincere
ly attached to the institutions under
which he enjoys the blessings of freedom
and plenty. Every where it has been
received with enthusiastic applause by
the enlightened and patriotic democracy
OF our country. None but Stockholders
Debtors to the Bank, feed Attornies,
aristocrats, and the select recipients of
its bounty, with their obsequious depen-
dents, have lifted a dissenting voice.
1t is doing much for the democratic
cause in the minds Of honest men of
the other party, and will add to the
Presidents strength, even in Pennsyl-
vania, where his opponents calculated
it woulk fhin him. 1t compels politic-
ians to draw the lines and will exclude
from she Jackson ranks none but ene-
mics in disguise. The friends of the
Bank who entered the democratic camp
only to share the spols Of victory and
servo their own mercenary purposes,
have been detected, unn,asked, aud turn
ed out with dishonor to fall in with the
party, to which they are allied in prn-
ciple and pernicious practice.
The speeches of Messrs. White and
Benton are master pieces, that will SUR
viye the small oratory of the day. That
Of Judge White is calm, digniGed, clear
and logically conclusive. 1t was the
deep. full stream, that swept away in
ungatherobie dispersion, tho bullrush
impediments Of Clay and Webster
That of MIR. Benton, was vivid, electric,
and scorching as lightning. He came
down upon his adyersaried like thun.
derbolt, and their arguments were riven
to pieces and scattered to the four winds
He was unanswered aud unanswcrable.
MIR. Webster Lunk away from before
him and allowed the debate to close,
without reply which was expected
from him. Mr. Clay gave vent 10 his
anger and chagrn, by an indecorous
and unmanly personal onset upon Mr..
Benton, taking for his subject The differ
ence between TINT gentleman and Gen.
Jackson, twenty years ago. A skerch
of that closing scene, will be found on
our second page. The friends of Mr..
Clay must blush at such incorporate

Never were the prospects of the Jack

more cheering than they are at present.
From one extreme ofihe Com nonwealth
10 the other, an universal spirit is mani
tested, to sustain the man who "hiled the
measure of his country's glory"--who
has carried the work Of reform into high
places, and watches viglantly over the
rights, the privileges and interests which
the people have committed to his care.
TO public officer nothing can be
more gratifying than the assurance, that
the community TO whose services his best
energies are devoted, place proper val
nc upon those services this gratIh-
cation belongs, in an eminent degree, 20
Gen. Jackson. He knows that the peo-
pie form correct opinion OF his charac-
tcr--that his exertions to. promote our
national prosperity end preserve our
honor, are propery appreciated by them
and knowing this, he can laugh at and
defy the attacks which a spirit ofenyious
malignity has directed against him.

CHOLERA AT NEWPORT.
at will be perceived by the following
that they have had foar cases of Cholera
at Newport, produced IN all probability,
by the absurd and incxcusable conduct
of The authorities Of that place, in keep
ing the passengers of the sloop Hero
from this city confined on board ten
days and living solely on salt provision"
The sloop Hero arrived here, aud was
ordered to quarantine under the Health
Regulations, and was moored near the
Island Of Rose Island, about one and
half miles distant from the town Of New
port, i'll the middle of the bay. The
Island is pleasant, healthful and spacions,
with a large and comfortable building
thereon, two rooms of which, upwards
of twenty feet square each had been re-
Gently fitted up for such occasions. The
passengers had the gratuitous use of the
Island and buiding, in addition to the
accommodations offered by the vessel
they came in. The health officer with
his boat was in attendance, to procure
and bring whatever provisions &c, the
passengers and crew might wish to pur-
chase from the town.
They were released from quarantine
in eight days, instead of ten, in conse-
quence of another arrival from N. York,
that they might not be exposed to any
additional hazard in consequence of the
passengers who had then lately arrived.
If they had laid out the ten days, the
deaths, which took place in the town,
would have been at the quarantine
ground. Two only Of the Passengers
died in Newport, the other two died in
other towns, one nine, and the other
fourteen miles from Newport.
The Hero was not compelled to 60 to
quarantine, but had the choice to come
into the wharf in ten days, or proceed
elsewhere Immediately. Fifteen min
utcs sail, either in an easterly or westerly
direction, would have carried the vessel
to the shore Of another town, out Of the
jurisdiction Of the Newport Board of
Health. Fourteen other towns in Rhode
Island are situated on the navigable wa
ters of the bay, besides number in
Massachusetts, and are distant from the
Newport quarantine ground, from one
and half miles, to % miles mostly in
northerly direction, making the south
ives. wind of summer free to run to most
OF them, and at that time we believe no
other town had laid any restrictions to
prevent their coming. So much for the
