We cannot therefore go so far as Mr. Gushing
does, in justying the Veto of the bank bill Still, it
was act which the President had right to commit
and which, if he conscienousy believed the bill to
be Unconstitutional, he was bound 10 commit. IL is
therefore unjust and unreasonable, well extreme
" impotc, to reproach him for it in the in
which he has been assailed by some few members OF
the House. The country in general, we think, has
taken just view of the subject. There has been a
general disapprohation by the Wing party every
where, of the Veto but, with few exceptions the
Wings not disposed to withdraw their confidence
from the President for this act They concur we
believe fully in the sentiment expressed by Mr. Cush-
ing of confidence in his honor and PATRIOTISM and his
desire 10 consult in all things the welfare and honor Of
the country. In this sentiment we least fully con-
cur, we do in his eulosy the Wing representa-
ton in Congress, for the energy and wisdom with
which they had carried through MANY important
and useful measures Of legislation the present ses-
sion, in the face of so strenuous opposition Let
them 90 and complete the system OF measures 10
which their attention Is now directed and they will

THE VETO POWER.

Judge Story, in his Commentary on the Constitu-
ton, held the following language on the Veto power
of the President
The truth u.s. az has been already limited, that the
real danger IL, that the Executive will use the power
too rarely He will do it only on extraordinary occa-
sons, when just regard TO- the public safety public
interest, or a constitutional obligation necessity Of
maintaining the appropriate rights and prerogatves OF
his Office, compel him TO the step and then it will be
solemn appeal to the people themselves from their
representatives Even within these limits, the
power is highly valuable and il will silently operate
as preventive check, by discouraging attempts to
oyerawe, or to control the Executive Indeed enc OF
the greatest benefits Of such power IS, that its nu-
is felt not much in its actual exercise as in its
silent and secret energy as preventive"
And again
"The truth is that the legislative power is the great
and ovcrruling power in every free government. 1t
has been remarked, with equal force and sagacy that
the legislative power is every where extending the
sphere of its activity and drawing all power to its i'm
petuous vortex. The founders Of our republic wise
they were under the influence and dread ofhe roy
al preiogatiye, which was pressing upon them never
for moment seem to have turned their eyes from the
immediate danger to liberty from that source, COM
bined as it was with an hereditary authority and an
hereditary pcerage to support il. They seem never 10
have recolIected the danger from Legislative usurpa-
ton, which, by ultimately assembling all power in the
same hands, must lead TO the same tyranny is
threatened Ivy executive usurpations The represen-
tatives Of the people will watch with jealousy every
encroachmcnt Of the Executive magistrate, for It
trenches upon their authority. But who shall
watch the encroachments Of the Representatives them
sevcs7 Will they be jealous Of the exercise of
power by themselves, by othersl Legislative body
is not ordinarily apt to mstrust its powers and far
less the temperate exercise of those powers. There
is a strong propensity in public bodies TO accumulate
power in their handsto widen the extent Of their
own influence, and TO absorb within their own circle
the means and the motives Of patronage"

WING DEFEATS

The wings, who in 1910, carried all before them

States which have voted since tie death ofGen'r

syvanii, New York. Maine, Indiana and Ohio.
have this yea; voted in opposition to their last years
vote, and superficial view would lead the unre-
Aecting observer to the conclusion, that the Amer-
can People, in six months, had faced to the right
about, and cancelled their solemn adjudication
Of last year.
Such view would be superficial, ard such eou-
clusion wholly wide Of the truth, The masses who
voted in $780, think now as they thought then, on
public men and public affairs. a very limited
number Of neutrality-suspicious. and place
hunters-Tho defer to power wherever it may
be found, and gather around the spois, as Ia
giles follow the carcass-such, and only such
have changed. Why, then, are we beaten, in so
many States where we were victoriousi Because
the Wings ere but men at last, Because they had
become weared by ten years unceasing struggle:
Because they found their Irumphs converted by
treaChe,y into defeats: Because they were discon.
certed Oy the events Of the year, and treason in
those whom they had trusted: Because, from all
these causes, they could no! go to The Polls, In
ABOLITION, lhtre was this year no election for the 10
puIar branch Of Congress.
Apathy so profound will not exist another year.
Il is perhaps fortunate for their ultimate Of cts,
that the Wing party has been again taught by its
reverscs, the necessity OF unremilIng vigilance and
continued organization.
Their numbers and force are unmpaired There
are as many wings as in 1910, save a few score
Of dessrters for Office or the hope Of office. What
is wan,ed, IS 10 nu,e into them, the old spirit which
in 1910, swept the Continent and prostrated Loco
Focoism. There is no difficulty in efTecling this at
the right time. Let the Presidential election again
approach, and the now dormant mass Of the VIII 2
plrty will ussor, their superiority, and show their
hatred Of Locoiocoism, but even above that, their

THE ST. LoUis SUB-TREGsUBT.-we have
heretofore alluded 10 the anomaly presented in this
cry by the Secretary Of the Treasury, IN Keeping
up the suh.TrcaSury, keeping open an Office, ray
ing clerk hire, rent and guard hire, vhentho law
establishing the Office was repealed IN evory other
city, where a branch Of this Sub-Treasury vas ~
lablished, the Receivers have been called upon 10
settle up, and torn the funds in their hands over
into sons bank
We learn that yesterday the Receiver General
NJ this place, paid out on Treasury drafts, between
$4,000 and eco 900 having balance in his hands
Of about $4,000. Finding the sum in his hands
50 SMALL he has, uninstructed, taken which
cannot be disapprovod Of by any one, and Just such
course rs il seems 70 Us the Department should
have instructed him TO have taken months ago.
The Receiver General has dismissed his clerk and
Waterman; given up the house heretofore occupied
as the Treasury Office; and transferred the money
remaining IN his hands 10 the vault Of the Bank ol
Missouri, where Il will be paid out upon his checks
