protest against the Veto Message-The President declares
that he iuy concurcd with itand letters at the

Albany Argus commenting on similar objection the
part oil another correspondent in this paper saws: Reav
nreques not mere modcum of assurance, the part of
the correspondent OF the r. E. TO have made assertion
so VIGOROUSLY destitute of foundation So well known
were the opinions of Mr.. " b. this subject that the
very individuals who charge him with strenuous
opposition to the veto message, then assailed him as the
author OF that truly constitutional and admirable state pa.
per- Nothing can be better KNOWN every reader in this
country than the act that Mr. V. b. not only entirely
concured with the President that OCCASION but the
message, and the sound principles involved were warm
and iuly applauded by all the friends of Mr.. " b. in
his stale 80 much that il the subject of special
approval by the democratic members of our legislature and

approved by the republican non and by near

Mr. " b. not only cordially concurred i'm the principles of
the veto message but that he regarded that
ecuuVe responsibility so eaessy taken and so ably and
concusvey enforced by the President as an exhibition

Equally untrue is it, that Mr. Van Buren, in favor of

Is IN favor oil Bank-We understand that late letters of

Inc Tariff is indeed the only blot on his escutcheon
yet for that of 1928 he voted under the instructions of
his constituents The manufacturers of N YORK cor
any do not consider him decidedly their side When

What are Houston and Sanberry cvcnthe Bank itself in

OF the ~ lnteigencer; that ii is throughout purely b
shess transaction; as much that of merchant who
borrows money, draws bills upon Shipment" and II
says, moreover, that "the statement which the r Enc
rer has copied from the New York Evening Post s
essentially Jdlse as far us and not the less
false because its mixed up with little truth" md II IL
polite enough TO add, eve demand of the Editor of ,o
Enquirer that he state to his readers" we are re,
sorry, that the N lnteigencer should have lost its tenn
per on the OCCASION and that should have bouoht
under the necessity OF using strong and unciv an
expression as "demdnd" We assure its Editors that zee
should have been equally willing yield TO more cour
tcous application.
Mark the difference The Intellgencer had ro-nubIisb
cd an article from the lphia paper, sadding ne
with friends note TO the Bank Tor So 900 We did NOT
complain OF the mistake But the same day on which
the 'intelgencer demands correction at our hands
we ask the "lavor of the Integencer TO correct Their
account against ourselves We advise our "ancent pis
tos Of the National lntogencer keep COOL as well as
they can.
