THE VETO.

The Veto Of the President, promises TO
effect a division Of the Federal and Repub~
lican portions of the Wing party. Some
are for denouncing him-while others think
he could not have done otherwise. The Re-
publican is out upon him, in his peculiar style.
He "stigmatises his course rs treacherous TO
the Wing party" The Bulletin takes up the
cudgels in behalf Of the President, and de-
tends him with much force and ability. He
goes for "compromise'' for concession" begs
that the Republican will perceive the fallacy
Of 'his denuncia;iors, and asks if the Re-
"publican's course will tend TO benefit the
wings, The Madisonian and Intelligent
Ger at Washington are in the same q%uarrell-
ing mood--Butnauch the larger portion Of the
Wing Press, in this State and else where. are
either 'damning the President with faint
praise"-or denouncing him in the strongest
terms. The Louisville Journal, is rarticu-
larry rabid. Prentice says
"We have rot time, nor inclination. nor
patience, now. 10 make an elaborate notice
OF this, the most astounding and atrorious
act of peTfidy that ever occurred in any gov
eminent in the civilized world. In due time,
we shall not fail 10 exhibit il in naked base
ness. Hypocricy and treachery, such as
Mr.. Tyler has exhibited in regard to the
measure of a national bank, would degrade
from all respect, intercourse, or notice of
honorable men, any citizen in private life,
and in a matter Of small concern; but what
language could lie employed TO magnify tie
euormity o, such treachery and hypocrisy in
the Chief Magistrate of a mighty people, op-
Grating 10 defeat The will OF that people IN
regard toa measure Of the greatest importance
TO their Interests. and which measure the
people had brought him into power TO exc
cute!'
In St. Louis and Louisville. a few OF the
more reckless and violent portion OF the "dc-
cency" burnt Mr.. TYLER in efigy, and in
Washington lie was inSulted by 4 gang Of
ruffians entering the Enclosure Of the White
House and beating iinpans. blowing horns
&c. Such proceedings for the honor Of our
Country, we are pleased to see, has not met
the appreciation of the more moderate and
honest portion Of the Wing party. In st.
Louis, the Republican even condems it, and
VIC hear of no place unless it be the little
federal city Of Hannibal, where any of the
respectable portion Of the citizens took part
in such disgraceful proceedings.
The truth is the Wings have overrcached.
themselves. They will now, we hope, learn,
a lesson no, soon to be forgotten. They wilt
see thathonesty is the hes, policy, and though
fraud and political dishonesty, may prosper
for a while the avenging hand Of Just Pro-
violence will sooner or later overtake the per-
petrators, and visit upon their guilty heads,
the punishment due to their offences. Moth
ing but their own fraud, deception & dishon-
esty have brought about the state Of things.
which now fills them with regret. and gloomy
forhodings Of the future. 1t was fraud upon
a grand scale, and with a high hand. 1t was
dishonesty Of a high grade-and deception
of a most barefaced character. The nomi-
nation at Harrisburg was the first act in this
game Of fraud. Genl. Harrison was nomi-
mated over the head Of Mr.. Clay, because
he had expressed opinions upon an the agi-
tating questions Of the day, suited to every
class Of politicians, and every latitude Of tho
Union. The acting President was placed
upon the ticket, TO catch the votes Of tho
"Abstractionslsts,' and States Rights Wings,
in the South who had been thrown into oppo-
siiion to the late administration. without
any substantial agreement with The OPPOSE.
