{ From the Pennsylvania (JacKsoN) Inquirer.
The Southern mail of last evening brought US
the decision of President Jackson upon the Bill
70 rene W the charter of the United States Bank.
The intelligence conf ms our statement OF yes
terday. Gen. Jackson has placed his Veto upon
the measure, aud has thus disappointed the hopes
ard wishes of majority Of his friends in Penn
sy,yania. The assisncd reasons for the Veto will
be found in The subsequent columns.
We cannot permit ourselves at this time tn ex-
press the deep regret and mo;titi ati0n we feel at
the announcement Of this act. Surely General
Jackson distinctly adlnitted in hi. last message,
tina, from that time, the decision al the Bank

Was 1t no, 10 be inferred from all that had prev-
ously TRANSFERRED upon the subject-lrom the lam
rusoe Of the executive in his several messages,
that it vas to the present charter alone he object
ed-that he would not int, iere, should Congress
psss a modified charter, as they have dcne?-
Was i, not to be inferred from the wishes so ire
ouently and loudly expressed by Pennsylvania;
by her people by her state Legislature. and by
her members of Congress, that Gen. Jackson,
looking to the past, and observing the course she
pursued ia bringing him forward tor the Presl-
dency in 1924, aud in sus tanning him with undl-
p,inshel ardIu in 1923, would pay at
t.ption 10 her wishes-would not lightly regard
the almost unanimous sentiments OF her citizens
would not pair one Of her great interests for
iiuht conslderatiDns-and with the certainty OF
disappointing most of his friends, and OF graz
tii,ing all his enemies? Surely such was the
natural inference-surh was oar brlef-such
was the belief Of many who investigated the sub
al ,,n, had n hp ~ a.
dom and the integrity of the President.
The Veto, though predicted aud expected by
many of the Presidents jealous friends through
out the country, has shocked, surprised, and ex-
cited large majprity of our fellow citizens, who
look uson the Bauk as necessary TO the curren-
CIV and 10 the country. and who heretofore, whe-
ther for ar against the President, calculat-
ed for a moment that he would oppose his indi-
yrduat opinions against those of majority the
people, as expressed through ma jorlty Of their
representatives,.
II will be seen on reference to the Message,
that the President holds the opinion that the bill
rechartering the Bank, which has just passed
both Houses of Congress, is unconstitutional: he
nevertheless thinks that such Bill might be
passed "a would obviate this objection, aud with
out pledsing himself TO sign the bill that may be
passed bya newly elected Congress, he fain'i
i,,imates that such Congress will pass such a
bill as he might. consistently with his con.titu-
opal scruples. sanction.
We have no space this morning to enter into a
detailed analysis Of the various reasons assigned
tpr the course adopted by the President The
result of our reflections upon the MESSAGES is, that
it at once puts the question TO the people
~ hich do you prefera Jackson or the BankF
F.r it strikes us-the faint intination concern.
