The veto message Of President TYLER has been re-

this city flags displayed during yesterday at the
Democratic Head-Quauers in the several wards. A
respectable portion of the Wings, who, although IA
vorahle to National Bank, disapproved of the prov-
SONS of this particular BILL and believe that even If it
had receiy ed the sanction, II could not have
gone successfully into operation, commend the firm
ness and consistency of the President, and dispos
ed chcerfalIy acquiesce in his decision II Is true
that there many probably majority ofthe friends
of the National Administration in this quarter, who,

THE UNITED STATES BANK BILL.

This bill has been for some time with the Presi-
dent and much socitude is manifested by the public
to know what the President will do with it. For
selves, do not look upon the question exceeding
y important, the impression Is pretty general that
in present shape the stock would not be subsc rbed
So that unless there should be additional legislation
it believed that the Bank would 90 into opera
ton. Apart, however, from this consideration, we
do not think that the majority of the people of Penn
syvania desire to have a Bank at this time Indeed
the BILL judging from the multitude of amendments
that were offered to it, hardly be said 10 have
passed in shape that more than bare Majority APP
proved. We do not wish to be considered defend
ing the too frelues exercise of the veto power; yet
feel il duty to say, that il is asking too much
of the President TO require him to sign the BILL merely
because it has been passed by the two Houses he,
in his conscience believes he ought not to do
Ii appears TO us that when Bank is establish, by
Congress il ought be OF such character TO be
little offensive possible to those who opposed
to it, We therefore, think that no branch should he
rated in state without the express consent OF the
State first ohtainedf located without the of
the State it woud tend TO mingle the question Of its
continuance in the State with lis politics. which, in
our judg luent, should be avoided.
In addition to these arguments, 1t Is worthy OF con-
sheraton that the whole Democratic party oppo ed
to the Bank bill" sent to the President. And also
