ANOTHER IssUE.-The Courier & Enquirer
now insists upon it that because the President
does not send commissions to the men that
burnt him in effigy, his personal feelings must
always hereafter be consulted in bestowing off
ces Now we doubt very much whether any
of these silly men entertained any personal ha-
tired for the President when they committed their
outrages-they were goaded on by such monitors
as the Courier and the Wing, and thought they
were dealing vengeance on the President for
opposing them in their political views. Would
the Courier have the President appoint men to
Office whose political views are not only differ
ent from his own, but who would not hesitate to
oppose him torcibiy in the execution of thelaws9
There are men enough, and true men too, as
well as moderate, who will accept Office when
appointments must be made, the assertions of
The Courier to the contrary Notwithstanding.
The President is not the only man in the coun-
try willing to defend the Constitution, and anx-
ious to see the laws faithfully administered.

EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY

We copy, verbatim, the following notice of a
late French discovery from an English paper.
Whether it is of any importance, or whether il
is any discovery at all we are entirely ignorant,
but hope some Of our inquisitive readers will
test it:
"The injection of a solution of chorure of
aluminium into the aorta or main arterial trunk of
an animal will preserve 1t fresh for an indefinite
period, without mparting to il the slightest taste
The chloric acid Of the salt renders the gelatine
or deconposable part Of animal matter incapa-
bic OF decomposition, perhaps by destroying some
alkali, for which the acid has greater affinity
than for aluminium The latter substance, thus
deprived OF its acid, becomes an inspid powder
The particulars Of this discovery, by NJ Gannal,
will be found in the Bulletin of the French AGA
DENY OF Sciences for the sitting Of March 22.
and in the Literary Gazette report of that meet
ing. From two to five pounds Of the salt dis
solved in twice or three times its weight of wa
ter, is sufficient for an OK. Persons disposed 10
make experiments on the subject, need scarcely
be reminded that the smaller animals, such as
rabbits or cats, should be employed. Subjects
for anatomical dissection should also be prepared
In this manner. Here is a new field opened for
commerce Of most important description.
Thousands of oxen on the coast of Spanish
America are slain for their skins only, the flesh
being cast upon the dunghill il NAV now be
preserved and shipped for the West India mar
ket as fresh meat. No ship in future need be
provided with salt meat The health of sea
men on long voyages will be preserved, and the
comfort OF passengers in emigrant ships 10 Syd-
ney will be materially improved by the spplica-
ton OF this important discovery. The table of
the Academic des Sciences, on the reading Of
M. Gannal's memoir, was covered with legs of
mutton, fowls, et id genus omne, which had been
preserved for many months by the new process.
The chlorure OF aluminium would be very cheap
when made on large scale for commercial pur-
poses"

THE VETO.

We copy the following judicious remarks on
the use Of the Veto power, from the Boston
Mercantile Journal, Wing paper of some in
iuence:
General Jackson's use of the Veto power, although
evidently originating in feelings Of pque tnged with
tyranny, which excited the alarm and Indignation of
many of our best and most patriotic citizens, was
nevertheless approved by majority of the American
people. And President Tyles in this respect,
at the extra session, although has created him many
powerful and Incorporating political enemies among
those who helped to elect him to Office, is believed to
have originated in motives honorable to him as man.
and President Of the United States; and we doubt
not if the voice of the people could be heard this
question: twoihirds at least, Of citizens, would
approve the measure. So long as the people, the
jority Of tho ople, approve of the exercise Of this
power in President Governor there is surely no
to believe, that from the exercise of this power
our government is on the verge of ruin.
We think the editor is somewhat wide of the
mark in urging such uncharitable reasons for
General Jackson's use of the Veto power He
has the candor though TO attribute the correct
motives to President Tyler-indeed, but few Of
the Presidents enemies have the hardihood TO
deny that he acted from an honorable and patri-
otto impulse.
