The Presidents Veto.


The Veto Message Of President TYLER mas
caused "great commo,ion notion through
out the land. The Democrats feel fine, and
nothing short of the wide-moulhed cannon can
utter their heartfelt gratitude for the noble and
patriotic stand taken by the President The
Wings observe respectful silence and utter
silent curses, the magnitude of which can
only be estimated by the outward exhibition oil
disappointment modification, and mourniui looks
well BETTING the obscquics of the deiunct Fiscal
Agent, The piquant sermon delivered by the
President on Monday the sixteenth day OF Au-
gust, in the year of grace one thousand eight hun
dred and forty-onc on the floor of the Us. Senate
is one of the most able documents on record
and has done moro for the permanent prosperity
of the country, by settling the veNcd question OF
a United States Bank for the next four years than
all the speeches, panic sermons plans and deyi-
ccs, ever conceived or uttered by Clay, Ewing,
or a Webster. The Presidents language is bold
and independent, characteristic ofthe sons Of Nir-
ginia-the shect-anchor Of the Republic and the
standard bearer of Democratic principles. He
makes no apologics--no condcscenson to concil-
atory phrases-but, with a manly, independent
boldness declares his disapprobatioE @! the BILL
and crushes this wrctchcd, halt-lOrmed little
monster SO suddenly and eilectually that It's
authors had scarcely time to announce bless
ting DER its poor, helpless, bruised and mangied
form
The position the President has assumed, is
proud and noble one. lie has struck noble blow
in defence of State Rights principles, and mo-
by does he exclaim "fat better say to the
States boldly and irankly-Congrcss wills and
submission is demanded" than to indirectly at
tempt to fasten on them an odious and thrice con-
demned institution by the people, by sly and
sneaking manpuverings worthy only of the base,
corrupt and depraved head and heart OF Henry
Clay, whose shattered and pliabo conscience
bends to every breeze which promises cool and
comfort to the burning ambition Of his aspiru-
tons.
1t is with feelings Of no ordinary nature, that
we witness tho ungraelu and ptiiuI course pur-
sued by portion of the Wing press in regard to
the Presidents veto Of tho Bank Bill With a
vcness and un5ushing impudenco seldom equal
led by the varies hypocritc and mposter, they
boldly assert that the Bank question was made
the issue at tie late Presidential election ! This
has been their constant theme during the pcndcn-
cy Of tho bank bill before Congress, and while in
the hands of the President; aud since the veto
they are unccasing III their efforts to cram this
bare-faccd falschood down the threats of an intel
ligcnt and knowing people. They know better,
and since the bank has received its quictus from
the hands in which they themselves placed the
power, justice and honesty should prevent
reitcration of this unmitiga,cd ialsehood, as no
good can possibly result from this course, for a
"lie without motive is the quintessenco of mean
ness"
Was the creation of National Bank made the
issue at the late eectionl Let the deserted log
cabins--the empty cider barrels--thc dry and
moth.eaten coon skins, old saddles and broken
jugs answer the question. The songs of "Tip.
pecanoe and Tyler too"-thc carousings--the
double-faccd policy Of the candidates by refusing
to make celebrations for the public eye'--thc
famous letter of the " committee of three to the
Oswego Associotlon--thc refusal of the Harris
burg Convention to make known the principles OF
the party by presenting an address to the people
these, und many other circumstances rise up
in judgment against the position assumed that
the issue was made between Bank and no Bank
at the late election The Wing party dared moi,
to make this the question drought the Union. II
