ofone Locofoco candidate over McLung,
another another Loco, is larger than that Of
VanBurcn over Harrison, the Post would
really cheat its readers into the belief that it
shows Tory gain. The only test vote was
tho vote for the General Ticket and the Dis
trict System. The former is Tory and the
latter Wing measure. The Legislature is
probably Tory as usual.
In Kentucky, where national politics tur-
ned the scale, the Wings have swept the
deck. The poor Locos can hardly say ace
Col. Richard M. Johnson has been chosen to
the House from Scott county. The poor

THE VETO POWER,

The present condition Of things is an ex-
emplifcation of the immense influence Of
of this power. The whole country from
Maine to Georgia, is held in suspense as to
the course of this one individual. One man
can set at naught the wishes of the whole
people, and defeat the most beneficial legis-
lation. This is nothing more than the auto
crat of all the Russias could do-and to this
extent our institutions are monarchical. -
But the power is given by the Constitution
the President has the right to exercise it, and
we must submit. But We must confess we
are so much Of Democrats, that we feel ratl,-
er restire at the substitution of the will Of
one man for the will of the whole. 1t is in
truth an invasion Of the Democratic principle
We wish the power were abrogated-tha
the will Of the people, as reflected by thei
immediate Representatives, might bea1
sway.-Richmond Wing.

WING MEETING.

We would direct the attention Of the
Wings of Burlington, to the meeting on Mon
day evening. Unfortunately, it seems the no
tcc Of the former meeting was not so widely
circulated as to bring 1t to the knowledge o,
all who take interest in such matters, 81 whose
counsels are deemed desirable. The com.
mittcc have therefore deemed il proper to
call another primary mee,:ne,t for the purpose
Of taking up anew the subject of a candidate
for town representative. 4 good cause
should not be prejudiced by even the sem.
blance Of unfairncss, and most certain We
are, that no true wing would for one moment
consent to a nomination that was not clearly
and manitestly the uncquivocal expression
Of his party. Let's have full attendance

contraev. that little doubt exists but that he will take
that fatal step. The events of the last election cam
pagn are fresh in my recollection and said so
much and went so far to promote the election Of
John Tyler, that cannot give him up yet and still
hope for the best. Last night called on Mr.. Clay,
and found him disengaged. He spoke freely. of the
expected Veto and said with emphasis, that the great
Wing party had gained bootlcss victory, fit was in
the power Of one man to defeat the will of the nation
expressed through Congressional he should now go
for an alteration Of the Constitution limiting tho ye-
to power to mere check, to throw back a bill TO the

We copy the following from the National

In the Senate the Land Distribution and Pre- emp
ton BILL and in the House of Representatives the
Bankrupt BILL were yesterday discussed. without
coming to decision upon either OF them.
We wish we could give our readers any satisfactory
opinion about the ultimate decision of these bills
We regret to say that the fate OF both of them

come under the suspense which has existed, and
yet exists as to the fate of the Bank bill which has
passed both Houses, and is in the hands of the Eek

THE BANK BILL.

The most feverish anxiety every whore
prevails as to the fate of this measure with
the President. Conjectures are various and
contradictory, in regard to it; but as the
question must have been disposed of pre-
vious to Thursday, it is idle to speculate a.
bout probabilities or consequences. A very
few days will put US in possession of the re-
suit, and we will then judge President Tyler
by his reasons.
The President has already signed the bill
to repeal the sub-treasury, and if he vetoes
the bank bill. he virtually takes to himself the
custody of the public money. Will he do it
Ifhe does, he should give most cogcnt rea-
sons for the step.
The following, from the correspondent of
the Commercial! Advertiser is the latest We
have from Washington.
SATURDAY, August IA.
Tho House did not sit to-day. About 100 of tho
members went 10 Annapolis where, BY invitation of
Com. Morris, they were to visit the u s. ship Della
The President expected to join them, but he
did not go. 1t is said that the Senate had refused
10 ADJOURN and as the late OF the great measure OF the
session still undecided he thought il improper to
leave his post at this juncture
The President has signed the bill to repeal the sub
Treasury act, and he is now, according to the con
slruc,on of some, the sole depository of the public
money. The law of l7Ss, which is It'll in force says
the Treasurer shall receive and keep the public
money, but his duty and that of the Secretary Of the
Treasury will be discharged under the direction of the
President. He will employ banks or individuals as
the repositories and specie, Treasury notes or notes
of speclepaylng banks, will be received in payment
of public dues.
Some suppose that the President has not yet mad,
up his mind TO his course on the bank bill WI
shall soon know,as he canno, retain the bill longe
than Thursday.
We regret to learn from the National In
telligencer, says the Evening Journal, that
disposition has been manifested in Congress
to LEI the Land bill and the Bankrupt Bill g
by the board. in case the Bank bill should b
vetoed. Such course would be unjustiha
Bile and suicidical in tho extreme. Thes
measures have their own intrinsic merits, an
their fate should not be linked in with other
which have no connection with them.

ceeded toward Barclay street, as if for an
excursion to Hoboken. Nothing farther was
heard of her that day by her friends; and
alarmed by her non-appearance, they adj
vertised for her in Tuesdays papers. Still
nothing was seen or heard of her till We'd
nesday, when Mr.. II. G. Luther and two
