The "curious antique" is in ecstacies at the Veto

that he would leap over the moon for Joy. Hear
him:
THE VETO.
! The "long agony Is over" and Mr. Tyler'S Vcto
has come al last to crush the monstfous Bank mi
which was presented for his signature IL lisa bold

! We are crowded to day with matter. which J.-
n'ahu puOlcatlon. we have not room to pour forth
the grateful feelings which We entertain for This
nal asi or deliyerance, the specu laons which il =,

washington Correspondence, and The extracts from,

readers, express those feelings in better terms th,
we we can employ We repeat honestly, and, in the
lace oil the nation, that whilst, as Virginian, we
are proud OF the courage, which, under these tr,in-
circumstances, Mr. Tyler has exhibited; and as mn
American we rejoice that he has trlmpled This uv-

ShIed OF ms high office between the posnarls of the
federli Wings and the bosom OF his country. and.
rom me bottom ofour hearts, we thank him for Ibis
act of deIiyerance.
What thankful creature, tits, VIVA, , cr,t.-
ful aud benevolent heart! But this bright and love
y picture Of joy, hope and gratitude is overcast 5y
shadows The venerable adept in political chara-
ianry does not commit himself TO Mr. Tyler-or,

Ii is part OF the Po!esey of this venerable McSv-
eophant and his venerable adjunct, to induce Mir
Tyler to believe that they will supper, MIN for re-

The LocOs at the North are little more homes,
and candid as to their Interior designs. The New
York Evening Post, the leading organ OF Van Bu.
rem and speaking under MS dictalion, says:
MIR Tyler has gained nothing by this concession:
he has only exposed himself the charge of taking
into his own hands the unlimited control of the pub

system of checks and responsibilities, and rejecting
the system which Congress desired to nut IN lis
