THE Custom HousE-Mr. Curtis, the
collector of this port, has, learn, receiv-
ed checkin certain proceedings inwhlch
he was engaged. ::
Immediately after he had intelligence
that the Senate had confirmedhi nomIna-
ton, he began to bestir himself with great
activity, displacing democrats and putting
wings in their places. While he was
thus agreeably employed, he received an
intimation from the new Secretary of the
Treasury that he would be expected to
make no more removals for opinions sake.
The story is that the collector rubbed his
ewes, read over the letter two. or three
times, to see whether he had made out its
contents Alright, and finding that there was
no mistake set off Immediately for Wash
ington, TO see what it meant.
Now take a peep at the follnwlng:-

THE VETO.

We copy the following judcious remarks on
the use of the Veto power, from the Boston
Mercantile Journal, Wing paper Of some IN
fuence: -
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 Tyers course in this respect
at the extra session. although has created him many
powerful and Incorporating political enemies among
those who helped 10 elect him to office, is believed to
have originated in motives honorable to him as man,
and as President Of the United States; and we doubt
not if the voice Of the people could be heard on this
question: two thirds at least Of our citizens would
approve the measure. So long the people the ma
jority of the ope, approve of the exercise OF this
power in President Governor, there is surely no
reason 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.

by the comparison Of opposite opinions and the con-

bad substitute to offer, but fair that they
should yield them. at least far to withdraw their
opposition. But did the discontinued Virginia Oil

The NEXT PREsDENcY.-The Hartford Eagle, af.
ter deprecating the premature movement of General
Scott for "the succession" thus speaks of Mr.. Clay
We are not partisan of Henry Clay, albeit we
ready to accord him his just need of praise
an orator. statesman, and man of true genius. We
cannot commend him for his prudence. We cannot
conscienousy apologize for his tenacious adherence
to the falling fortunes of that most corrupt and demo-
ralzing institution, the Pennsylvania Bank of the
United States We cannot but censuIe the wicked
and foolish plot in which sorry to say he was
engaged, to head Captain Tyler, the President of
the United States. We cannot but condemn the
blind preciptancy with which he hurried on the late
Extra Session of Congress- and that strange infatua
ton which forced two vetoes and dismembered tho
Wing party. He is not sk1fai manager he re-
lies on talent rather than tact and the result too Of
ten is, the forciby plucking down ruin on his own
head, and on the prospects of his adherents.
The next Presidential campaign opens too early
We are not prepared to give in adherence to any
gentleman that has been named a candidate -
Events may transpire within the next two years,
which may unite the honest and democratic portion
of all parties on suitable person, who shall al
lay the storm of political strife, and bring back the
country to something of the harmony of the halcyon
days of Monroe. After storm comes calm.

Majority for Mr.. Van Buren,,
26,767

The popular vote of the Wing party, therefore, in
1886, was but 6OS92, and obtained but two States,
and 26 electoral votes And in 1882 failing entirely
to nominate any Presidential candidate of their own,
they adopted the nominee Of another totally distinct
party--certainly not Wing candidate, and who had
never been called Wing: but on the contrary, had
been opposed in 1885, by the whole Wing force of two
States, and sixty thousand voters, yet beating
them all however by between five and six hundred
thousand majority
The Wing party, therefore, never had it in their
power to elect either President Vice President,
any better in 1910, than they had in 1886.
And hereupon we demand, for the third time,
What righthape Mr.. CHA Striends to call JOHN
TYLER TO account?

Hugh L. White was run at this time as the w mig
candidae but he got the vote of but the two latter
States, Georgia and Tennessee-and both OF them
from the circumstance it ia believed, OF his having
been Jackson man. and therefore the most available
WING candidate. While on the other hand, JOHN
Tyler received the votes of Maryland and South Ca
rona. from no avowed partially for Wings and with
out adopting either their profession, prncples--but
rIe received the votes Of Maryland firstly; because
be wa. 4 Southern man, ii is believed and secondly,
because his political principles were in accordance
with those Of Gen. Harrison, who received the votes
of this State at the time candidate for Presl-
dent.
The vote of South Carolina was given to John Ty-
Ter as Vice President for the same reason that was
refused to the Wing candidate and given to Willie
p Mangum for President.
If therefore, it be contended that John Tyler was
set up in trade by Wing capital he must have begun
upon pretty small amount of stock and that quite
below par.
Tennessee gave her vote to John Tyler in 1886, not
because he was the Wing candidate for Vice Presi-
dent but because he had been supporter of General
Jackson and he received his support from portion
of the old Jackson party, who had become Conserpa-
tires in principle, If not in name else he would never
have received the electoral vote of that State.
The whole popular vote for the several Presidential
candidates in 1885, follows if authorities
be correct:
