| TIE message adgeTts TO the suspicious a.
float as TO the nal administration OF the bank,
and to the opinion of majority Of the com
mittce in favor Of posiponement Of the qIes
ton The bank Il Is asserted, ought TO have
80 mach regard to its own honor as 10 have
come forward, or its own motion, Withdrawn
its memorial, and thus passed the measure
over 20 aaother session.
The conclusion is merely reference to
The Distinctions created among men by edu-
cation. learning, virtue, and industry; and it
is declared that every effort of government
20 Introduce other distinctions IS injurious;
and that government should only he felt by
is muniiicent operations or men. The true
strength OF the government, II rs said, con
sists in leaving individuals and states to them
selves.
Having done his duty in stating these OBJ
iections, the President SAYS, II he should be
sustained nv the voice of his fellow citizens,
he shall feel grateful and happy. ffnot. he
should look for consolation to bis own mo
tives, where he would fiud sufficient 10 sup
port him in the views which he had thrown
out
Upon this important state paper we shall
refrain from comment until we place il he
fore our readers az eItenso. Int. july !
Phe length of the Presidents PetO pre-
cludes the many structures 10 which II Is OBJ
vioueiy liable Ii is a compound Of gross ial-
lacies, delusive plausibilities, mismprescnta
tons Of fact, and dangerous doctrines all OF
which have bees completely reiuted in al
vance IL, the discussions of the Bank ques-
ton, and will be again easily and thoroughly
exploded. No one will venture 10 say that II
is the work Of the President himself; we
doubt that he understands the import OF the
greater paft;-he has declared to the writer
or authors OF il his determination to negative
the hill Of Congress, ADD instructed them 10
provide bin with all the speeous reasons and
popular motives which they coald devise 1850
They have framed a manifesto, not only
gainet the Bank, but against the Constitution,
Congress, the Supreme Court, and The Ia
riff system, and have virtually discarded
Pennsys ANA with reckless contempt
We regard the penutimate paragraph of
this veto message, as a denuncIation OF the
principle as we'll as laws OF the protective
policy and the expression OF design to co
operate with the South in destroying gradn
ally HE whole system. The Paragraph be
ginning thus-"lf the opinion Of the supreme
Court covered the whole ground Of this act .
destroys the main feature and utility Of that
Court as part of the political scheme of the
trainers OF the Constitution, and invests the
President withe supremacy which they would
have unanimously rejected. Il seems to us
almost impossible that the members Of the
cabinet propcr have sanctioned such a doc
tr,ne. The Bark is treated as mere agent
Of the Executive branches of the govern
ment; this IS very imperfect and erroneous
view of an institution intended to provide "A
sound and equal currency for the Union; but
it suits ultenor rurposes-particularly the
project OF a Treasury machine.
'ihe Committee OF Enquiry are honered
with degree and kind of notice which the,
could net obtain from Congress, and the
terms in which the members OF the commit
tee and the report Of the ma jority so called,
are mentioned involve deception and sophis
try, like all the other passages OF the mes
sage. Which OF the COMMITTEE can 'tc truly
said 10 be among ''thc most 9dle and hoRora-
bic members OF the House OF Representa-
tives"9 The minority, go called, alone. And
who recommended "a suspension Of further
action upon the bill, and pr0sec utioa of the
cnquiry''p Only, in fact, Messrs Clayton,
Canbrrleng and Thomas. Col johnson &C
| llnowlcdged in the House, that he was not
| qualified for the eYraHd of enquiry that, in
| Ph,ladeIphia he left all business TO his col
/ leagues, submitting implicitly TO whatever
| they nigh; please TO ask or do; that he sign
ed the Report of Judge Clayton, as {, mat
ter of uere form, and sin,ply TO have re
/ port, and that+se thought no good could come
OF such enquiries. There was no real ma
| Iority IN the case.
The general tendencies Of this message are
ANARCHY between the states and the general
| government, the total independence OF the
Executive on or his superiority overt Congress
and the Judiciary immense increase oil
Executive power by the ultimate creation OF
| Treasury bank the worst disorders in the
! currency, and the withdrawal Of all imposts
aud bounties for the protection OF domestic
! manufactures Congress and the Supreme
lsCourt are disparaged as much as possible
! The phrase cit is to beregretted that the rich
| and powerful 100 often bend the acts OF gov.
ernmen; TO their so!iish purposes, must be
understood as an alIuslon TO the legislation of
Congress respecting the Bank, and forms q
charge of corruption against that body such
as the Globe repuJ!ishcd against the lesisla
tore Of Pennsy lvaHia-.Natto'ral Ga.stte.
