The Bank Bill has passed both Houses Of Congress-
It was forced through the House OF r. within five days
Definite cut oil on Friday, by nlcrahic series of
gag laws. Not an amendment debaed-not per
mtcd 10 pass Such was the Eat 81 the Wing Caucus
that engine, which they Affected 10 ,cprccate,
but by which they now govern the country on all
casions The National Intelligence. arns.s the object
Of their policy II declares That 'ihc bill passed he
House as it came from the Senate, without amendment
or alteration Of any sort. Not that IL had better
have been amended in some particulars; bu, our pn.
cal friends appear 10 have considered II most pedien
10 pass the bill in It's present shape md arc NE dSred
amendments IL be disposal Of IN supplemental hW to
be brorgM jorrard al The present Ssssion. That is to
say they determined TO push the bill through; as il is
and If they can prevail Mr.. Tyler 10 sigu it, tiea
they will further modify the bill 10 suit themselves
They Will remove every restriction that appears 10
shackle their Misunderstanding It for granted that If
he can sign this BILL they can force hun 10 swallow
every supplemental measure, which it peasrs their
| High Mighiincsses TO enact. Was ever 4 daring
effort made TO rule free country by eeisldlon al
once audacious and cunning II Sahd0IHS, Sal
as characteristics The impudcnt ConspiIaor Of Rome:
The Bank bill passed on Friday, and LAID before
Mr. Tyler on Saturday. If he follows the absurd doc
rincs Of sir Botts he vii! venture exercise his
own discretion upon it, Ills conscience Will be iu.
the vassal of some Federal heesy, pronounced %
years ago, by Federal Supreme Court. According
this High Church Federal doctrine, they who framed
the Constitution ITSELF and Jefferson and other great
lights which ght to consult the instrument itself are 10
bow in dumb submission to the new CONSTITUTIONS which
Federal Supreme Court have presumed make for the
rood People Of the IT, S. But Mr. Tyler will not hear
ken TO such diclalon. lie has sworn TO observe the
Constitution Of the u. S-not according 10 the opinion
of the Federal Judges but according 10 the best lights
of his own understanding We know that in 1919,
he pronounced it would be perjury in him not TO PIT
down in certain circumstances National Bank which
he believed TO be contrary 10 the Com
s,itution of his country.
Or, if Mr.. Tyler chooses TO obey The bchests of MIR
Clay he will sign this Compromise Bill He will strike
his name from the list olndeprndcnt men, and sink into
the public tool Of arrogant dictator lie will lay his
conscience, all his ancient principles, Al! his recent OPT
MONS at tic feet of him. who wishes s'shove him from
his s,ool"-and in the mean time TO play The Yiceroy
over him. But Mr. Tyler cannot, will not submit 10
such degradation as this Let him sign this BILL and
his wand of office is for stricken from his hand
He will become mere driitwood the stormy of
Wing potcs-the mcres king log, that was sent
forth as laughing stock to friend and to foe But again
we saw he cannot, will not, sign this bill We
advance this opinion not only from the force Of general
principles, and from some knowledge Of MIR. Tylers an
Gent creed but from confidence in the informa
ton we have received from Washington. One of our
Correspondent writes US, g. and - both express
ed the opinion TO yesterday uhe ith) that Mr. ny.
Ter would veto the bill - looks 10 it certain
ing the bill through the House in indecent haste, but
really begin 10 entertain the belief that the President
will arrest it by the exercise of the great Conservative
feature Of the Constitution, the Veto power. we haa
numerous speeches last night. Our friend huoafa
