Amos KendalPs honesty. But short time ago,
with. Kendall was Post Master General, an order
was Issued by that department prohibiting Post
masters from receiving letters, circulars, hand
bills, Sc, of private character, free of postage
and also directing that in such cases, the papers
must be returned, chargeable with postage, to the
persons from whom they came. Well-Kendal
resigned, became interested in the Extra Globe
and forthwith sent out circular letters to postmas
ters icithout paying postage, in defiance of thi,
order, which was issued from the Post Ollie De
partment, when he was himself at its head Thus
is he defsauding the revenue, and knowingly VIC
lating the rules of the Department So much fol-

GENERAL HARRISON ON THE VETO.

GENERAL HARRISON ON THE VETO.
With usual u HARNESS, the locOfoco presses have
Cen llarrison's views OH the veto
power, as expressed in his Cleveland speech. The
following is from his speech, and it embraces the
true democratic doctrine.
lie was of opinion that the danger apprehen-
ded by Patrick Henry and other distinguished pat
riots who held that the Executive would encroach
upon, and finally exeicise dangerous influence
over, the legislative mad judicial department the
government, had to great extent, been realized.
he considered 1t of the first importance that the
administration of the Government should be
brought back to its original purity, and that the
Executive power and influence should be confin-
ed within the limits prescribed by the spirit of the
Conaitution-ihat the will of the PEopLE express
sed through their Representatives and not the will
Of one man, slIou govern in all questions touch.
ing the general welfare that the President should
not, and HAT he would not, If elected, interpose
the veto power between the wishes of the People
and the legitimate objects of their DESIRES except
to preserve the sacred charter OF our liberties
from manifest violation. He held it improper for
the President TO express his opinion, much more
to express his determination TO exercise the veto
power in regard 10 measures coming exclusively
within the province assigned by the Constitution
to Congress- until those measures should have
been duly considered and perfected by the legs-
atve department of the Government aud pres
ented TO him in the manner prescribed by the
Constitution for his approval

as evidence that he will support Van Buren, The
Mlledgevie Recorder OF June 3Oth says of his
letter:
That Gov. Troup agrees in sentiment with
Col Lamar in relation 10 the SubTreasury, we
freely admit but that he is consequently Van

all sympathizers "nelarious individuals?" Was
it the same Martin Van Buren, who begged Lord

In addition we may also state that the resolution
