OPPOSITION WINGS.

We advocated the election of Gen. Harrison
and John Tyler. The suffrages Of their fellow
citizens called them. to the high responsibility
Of power Providence, in His inscrutable wis
dom, has seen meet to 'sgathe" one OF those,
whom the people delighted to honor, to his IA
thers--full of years and full of honors." We
have yet to learn why we should concur with
our former fellow laborers-now our adversaries
lin denouncing him as traitor TO the party"
whom Providence, in His dispensaton, has
spared, to save this great Republic from the
awful calamity of being without head, and
without ruler.
Is it for the benefit Of "party" alone that
the President is elected ? Or for the common
veal Of the whole country2 The oath of the
Constitution allows him TO make no distinction
between parties, but to govern for the common
benefit Of all parties-for the common good of
their common country.
The principal charge for which the President
is arraigned by the g Opposition Wings" Qor
we do not include the whole Wing party,) is for
not supporting measures, which they assert, his
iamenfed predecessor irould haze recommend
ed, had he Tired. What he ",couid hare re-
commendedn is secret buried with him in his
grave, and known only TO Omniscience. The
last dying words of the patriot were-and they
were no secret and recommended no measures
az irish you, sir, TO understand The true
principles Of the Government. wish them
carried out. | ASK NOTHING MORE"
What these " true principles of the Govern
ment' are the Constitution allows 10 every man
the equal privilege Of judging, but to no man the
right of dictdting.n This is according to the
Constitution, "as ace understand IL J" if our adj
versaries understand il differently our differences
are then very readily accounted for-with very
poor prospect of any compromise"

THE GOVERNOR OF VERMONT--THE
VETO POWER--THE INTELLIGENCER

VETO POWER--THE INTELLIGENCER
The Intelligencer of the 18th instant devotes
about half column in quotation and comment
aryupon the oNE-MAN-PowER, which, if we may
judge from the recent elections, is in pretty
fair way to bring an overwhelming majority of
the nation TO its support. The party opposed to
the Administration may well deprecate the We
to power, for it has foiled all party purposes,
while it has increased the support Of the admin
istration and the popularity of the President.
Governor PAINE, of Vermont" says the In
telligencer, "in his late message to the Legisla-
ture of that State calls its attention TO the Veto
power, as feature in the Federal Constitution
which imperiously requires alteration" And
who 'imperiously requires this alteration Pr
Why, the present minority party opposed to the
administration Do they forget that it is only
for the benefit Of the minority" that the Veto
can ever be exercized2 The Governor says sit
is the only monarchical feature in our form of
government, and il is difficult to understand how
it should ever have been engrafted upon repub-
lican institutions;" adding that "it was proba-
bly, taken, without much reflection, from the
British Constitution, which vests similar pow.
er in the King but only to protect his own pre-
rogatve from encroachment; y and superadding,
that even for this purpose, it has not been exer-
cised by him for two centuries"
The Veto Of the British Constitution is an
absolute Veto. But the American Constitution
contains no Veto, but only clause imperatively
requiring the President to "object" to such laws
as he cannot approve" whether on account of
their inexpediency or unconsIilutionality. AID
he is sworn to make his COLLECTIONS" where he
cannot award his approval. And yet his objec-
tons cannot prevent the consummation Of a law,
il 1.-TWO thirds" of ''quorum" of each House,
upon reconsideration, shall pass the bill. A
'.quorum of each House, is bare majority
one more than half of the whole number; and
two-thirds Of one-half is but one-third Of the
whole.
Thus this oNE-MAN power can be effectually
foiled by one single vote more than one-third Of
the votes of each House of Congress. We
humbly apprehend, that this power is not ''mo-
narchical !" and that it was never Borrowed
from the British Constitution y if il were, it is
so much more republican than monarchical that
we do not wonder the British monarch "has not
exercised it for more than two centuries - For
more than half century 1t has been exercised
in this country, and the popular will has invari-
ably sanctioned the act, and upheld and sus-
tanned its authors.

CONGRESS-.

We have but little news from Congress,
as owing chiefly to the conduct of the op-
position, little or no business has been done.
The palpable motive for their conduct can
not be mistaken. They are determined to
have an extra session of Congress- which
very naturally accounts for their opposition
to every measure advanced by the present
administration. The principal subject in
the House, for several days past, has been
the Treasury Note Bill, and in ,he Senate,
the land pre-emption bill. The last has
passed the Senate by large majority.

CERTAIN CURE FOR THE RKEU-
MATISM

A friend informed us the other day that
he accidentiy discovered an infallble reme-
dy for rheumatism. He has been for long
time severely afflicted with this disease in
his back. AT times it was so painful that
he could scarcely sit down or rise up. He
has had his back frequently rubbed with
spirits of turpentine, without receiving much
advantage from it. few mornings since.
the servant who was rubbing him, held his
hand too near the fire, tho turpen,ne was
igniied, when feeling that his hand was quite
acarm enough. he clapPed j. to the back to
resume the rubbing-,he fan es was com
muncated 10 the .urpentine there, and the
patient soon enveleped in " blaze" He
sprang 10 his feet with more activity and
hoped about with more ease for few mo-
menis than he had done for years. He a,
length succeeded in extingushing the flames
his back was severely blis.ered, but he
assures he has felt nothing Of the rheuma-
lsm since, and he thinks he is entirely cur

quite so uiolent as the blowing up of corns
with gunpowder after drilling a hold to !hcir

INDIANS KILLED BY GEORGIA
VOLUNTEERS.

We are happy to lay before our readers
the following interesting letter from a cor
respondent. We concur fully in opinion
with the writer that an army of so 900 men
will be required to rid Florida of III enemy,
sunless indeed they have already surrender
ed voluntarily. The theatre Of war embra.
ces a territory AZ 900 square miles. Three
or four thousand men is q mere handful for
ssuch a service.
TRADERs' HILL, Geo. Jan. 10, Is4l.
Gentlemen:-As every incident having
even remote or collateral influence in brin-
gng 70 speedy xnd successful issue this
most unprepilious Florida contest, must be
regarded with interest. take pleasure in
communicating to you the following intelli-
gence:
On or about the 18th inst. while Capt.
5ernigan OF the Georgia troops, with small
detachment of his company were scouting
between Forts Moniac and TAYLOR, ten or
fifteen miles south the Okefanoke, thew
discovered small Indian camp fire on the
bsrder OF swamp which appeared to have
been very recently left by the Indians. On
further examination their trail was found
leading into the swamp. Capt. J. leaving
their horses in charge Of few men entered
with from six to ten men on the trail. The
party in pursuit travelled through mud and
water; from two 10 three feet deep grea,
part Of the distance until they had peneira.

Indian warrior sprang up within few PAGES
of The Captain and leading men and levelled
his rife al one of the oremost-happily
his rifle missed fire! Not SO with the more
fortunate volsnteer, the crack Of whose rife
moment after told the tale for this Indian.
At this juEcture large muscular sayaqe
showed himself in hostile attitude near al
hand, when he and Captain Jernigan leyel.
ed their rifles at each other. Here again
The dexterily of the white man was destined
to prevail against the savage. Jernigan

but still attempting TO rise: the Captain
mounted him with his knife and soon ended
the struggle. Still third I:dian believed
to be the last of the parly) was rew seen,

The two sealps with two rifles and rou.
ches, few dollars in silver found in one
Of the pouches,) and handsome Bowie
kLife, were brought in as trophies.
They werc also armed with bows and
arrows and were well supplied with ammu-
milton. II IL here thought that thew were
spies, sent up to ascertain what opening ex.
listed for another Indian adventure.
Should the wounded Indian survive n

of his election in October next. 1t is true

in their mer!ifca.ion and defeat.
