ANOTHER WHIG MOVEMENT.
!, seems thai the veto power, placed in
,,he hands Of the e::President by the Consti-
tuition. is to be abolished. Mr.. Clay has
said thai this feature Of the constitution
mus, be plucked from it; and there IS no
doub, that an attempt will be made to car
ry into effect the Dic,ator's will. But VIII
the wings ever be able to amend the con- CO
s,i,u,ion TO that effect? No; never. Inc
people will never consent to 1t. Remove
This preventative power, and majority
in both branches Of Congress, become In
tact. omnipotenl; usurpation will follow
usnrna,ion: sand the federal legislature
will become, in fact the tyrant OF the
sco,n,ry. How wise were the farmers "'
sihe cons,itutian, when they provided,
that isthe Congress, whenever two thirds
S-,fs sbo,h branches shall deem it necessary
shall propose amendments 10 tins cohs,'-
stution, or, on the application OF the
leoislalures of two thirds of the several
.tales. shall call convention for propo-
T .;no amendments, which, i'll either Case
shajl, be vaIid 10 all Intense and purposes
5as nnrt of this constitution when raiihen
nv the legislature Of The three inurths ot
,6e Sc eserai states, or by conventions !"
three .fuurths thereof, as the one or Tue
other mode Of ratification may be pr"p"s.
ed by tile Congress. Two thtrhs Oh
CONGRESS will never he found to propose
the amendment contemplated; and II TWO
birds cam ever be found in Congress IN
favor Of such measure, can nineteen states
he ever found tn ratify ii! We believe
the constitution safe for long time from
the daring hands Of an .oligarchy. See
below the letter Of Mr.. Clay, in reply to
IAN ;uyi,a,ion to visit Baltimore, on which
OCCASION that visit was to be s1gnaliz'd os
a public dinner. &c. II will be seen ~
that letter, as well as III the manifesto "l
the whig members of Congress, that Mr.
'rylpr has been repudia,ed by the party.
and that his administration is m longer TO.
be c,n ,idered as whig. Connected WIFI
this denunciatinn Of the President, we
find in some Of the whig papers the most
abusive language used towards Mr.. Web.
.,er. MIR. Granger himself, though ne
has resigned his seat in the Cabinet, IS de-
nounced by some Of the whig papers f"r
treachery.to the whig party. See an ar.
ticle below from the Courier and Enqu'
rer.
Will not all those operations Of the
wings. and their political movements open
the eyes Of, the people! And will not
every friend to his country, and OF in'eg-
r;,y of the constitution, exclaim, May a
Kind Providence preserve the nation from
whig rule and ursurpa'ions! -
