Our political atmosphere but reflects that of
your city at present. and the question, WIN the
President sign or veto the Bank billy can hardly
be more earnestly debated at Gadsby's or IN the
lobbies of the Capitol than in the gathering
places Of our city. Dire consequences are pre-
dicted or threatened if the bill is not signed-a
breaking up of the Cabinet, premature adjourn
ment OF Congress, &c, &c. cannot share IN
these anticlpaons. II seems 10 me that, II the
President shall feel constrained to withhold his
signature from the bill that passes the House,
he will do II on such grounds and IN such
manner as TO lead 10 a removal of existing dlih-
culties rather than their aggravation. He may
have immoyable objections to certain provisions
OF the Senate bill, but do not believe there ISL
particle Of Loco Focoism in his composition.
Whatever he does will be done in good faith to
the Wing party and in strict obedience TO the
dictates of duty and conscience. Why, then,
should disagreement as to the details OF Bank
break up the Wing party? But no! we null mol
disband-the Cabinet wiH not dissolve-Con-
gress piH mol break up in passion, but our
temporary differences will be adjusted, and all
yet be WELL ! rest in this faith.
You will have heard of our arrival from China
yesterday. There seems little prospect that the

THos. ALLEN, ESQ
| DEAR SIR That portion Of the Loco-Foco party of
the city and county of Philadelphia, called by James
| M Porter brother to Governor, BarnburDers,"
held their great anti-Bank meeting yesterday after
noon in Independence Square. Henry Horn, Chair
man, and James Page, Orator. Great pains had been
taken to rally the faithful and to fill up the broken and
thinned ranks of the once overwhelming party; but
the blasts Of the trumpet UNDECIDED, and very
much doubt whether the famous trumpeter of that
nowned warrior and hero, Peter Stuy sesant had he
condescended to get up out his bed, and blow
one of his most terrible blasts such he the said
Antony Van Coraer, blew at the taking of Fort
Christiana, he could have rallied the
lient, but now broken down party. All told there
might have been 300 or possibly 400, souls on the
ground-and the fence. About one. third Of the
whole boys; arother third grog shop loaters,
and the remainder politicians and displaced Office
holders The respectable portion Of the party were
evidently ashamed OF the affair and kept aoof The
abored hard to get upa little warmth, but 1t
would not do it was cold, dull, sprtess affair
The usual ultra doctrines ed and sustained
and repeal was the rallyng word. Let it be SO:
let that be the issue put to the people, and have no
fear of their verdict. The doctrine avowed by tho
destructres, il carried out would strike at the very
foundations of society and render insecure every
mans title to property. The people have good sense
enough TO see this, and will act accordingly. If

Mr. ROOSEVELT occupied the hour from ten TO

of the floor during the last hour-the debate being
deycd to cease at II precisely
MIR KING obtained the floor and spoke in de
fence of National Bank till ten minutes before y

by Mr., Cost Johnson in emphatic speech.

THE TAX ON TEA AND COFFEE.

The Revenue bill passed the House by ma
iorlty of Is. Ii was not free from objections.
But as it was deemed indispensable for the pur-
pose of revenue to meet the wants Of the Go
vernment, il was thought advisable TO adopt il
although the preponderaing good was not IN
mixed with evil. A correspondent Of the Rich
mond Wing explains in the following letter. We
~ fairly we believe the manner in which tea
and coffee were subjected TO duty
There ia one feature in which the bill was patti
cularly objectionable TO most of the Why's viz the
tax on tea and coffee The Whig members held a
caucus on this subject at which large majority de-
tertnncd that tea and coffee should he exempt from
tax lion. Accordingly when the bill was under con-
sldcratun in the Committee Of the Whole Mr. Law
renee of Pa, prominent Wing member, moved To
amend The bill by adding tea and coffee to the list OF
free articles Before the question could be taken on
the proposition, MIR Clifford, of Maine, leading Lo
co-foco and ready parliamentary tacician (havinE
been Speaker Of one branch .ot the Legislature of
Maine Immediately moved to amend the al endment
Of Mr. Las renee by adding to tea and fee sugar
molssses and -at" The whole Loco Foco party then
uni ed with Mr. =. in voting for the amendment to
the amendment, and in conjunction with such If the
u ra anti tariff Wings wished tea and coffee to be
taxed carried the amendment The Wings were
thus placed in a very awkward prrdlcament, from
which they, in vain, attempted TO extricate them
selves Winthrop, of Boston, called for a division OF
the question on the amendment as amended 50 as 10
pr sent the question separately, but the char very
promptly decided that the vote of the committee hav
pg joined them together, the char could not put hem
asunder. The Wing pry were thus compelled either
for the entire proposition To vote the whole
down Under these circumstances they could not
hesitate TO rcjec, it entirely. And thus II comes 10
pass that 10y dextruus manGuvre of the Locos, tea
and coffee TO he taxed And yet with these facts
staring them in the face should not be- surprised II
the Locus had the hardhood aemp to raise an out
cry against the Wings for taxing articles when en-
tered into the consumption OF the poor hope you
will keep these facts prominently before the public,
and let the people sec the measures when are TO be
resorted to, to make political capital.

THE VETO POWER.

We understand that many persons have con-
suued the appearance of an article on this sub
ject in our last paper as an invitation and JUS
ilfcation Of an Executive veto, upon a certain
contingency, in advance We are not respon-
sble for any body's inf, rences-the article in
question contained nothing whatever TO ju tily
such a construction
The National lnteigencer of yesterday says
!" An intimation is thrown out in yesterdays Madi
sonian tina, paragraph This paper OF the Sd instant
implies that the exercise OF the veto power Is iHegu
innate. Certainly we have never intlnaled any thing
| OF the kind"
The implication which we supposed discove-
rable was contained in the following paragraph
of the lntelligencers article on the Land bill:
" The great object Of that political revolution, hy
vi ch the reins Of power have been lately transferred
into fresh hands 10 restore 10 Congress the LegS-
idtire porer efectireiy urested from by the arbira-
~ erereise If the Erecure reo, and by other prac-
tees The part ofihe Executive not legitimate hut,
on the contrary, utterly repugnant to the Conslitu-
| ton"
/ We are glad to receive the disclaimer Of the
Inteligencer, but the reader can judge for him.
self whether there was any foundation for our
9 intimaton"
| Any power, il seems to US, which wrests
from Congress sthe Legislative power" musl
be illegitimate. The Constitution certainly does
not vest in the Executive any such power. The
/ Legislative power solely rests with Congress
II il be arrested from it, the Constitution is VIC
lated The Executive veto is not able to ac-
complish this. II is only able to prevent the ac
Of bare majority becoming law. The pow
err of two-thrds TO pass law still remains, ant
that places the Legislative power beyond The
control of the Executive.
/ In the case OF the retention Of the Land bill
by President Jackson, there was usurpation Of
power. He did not exercise the veto. He re-
fused either to sign or to veto the Till and, as
Congress terminated before the ten days were
out, he violated the spirit of that instrument by
retaining ii, and treated Congress also with con-
tempt. But General Jackson, therefore, did not
wrest from Congress the Legislative power by
the exercise Of the veto, but BY his refusal to ex
ercise it, which was nonfeasance. But ano-
ther reason for our inference as to the implied
meaning of the lntelligencer was, that it spoke
Of " the arbitrary exercise of the Executive
veto" The President is the arbiter quo ddhoc,
and the veto power is fully given to him by the
Constitution, and therefore is lawfully drbi-
traiy, or subject to the uncontrolled will Of the
arbiler If, therefore, the lntelligencer meant
nothing more than the constitutional exercise Of
the veto, il would not probably have used the
word arbitrary
We have alluded TO this subject, merely be-
tation of disappearing the views Of our ex-
perienced and always able contemporary
