HONOR TO THE son.

.4necdote Of the Emperor Theoaosius.-
When Theodosius the great was Emperor,
and went to see Constantinople, the bishops
who were in the city, wen TO the place to
salute him. according to custom. Amongst
them was n certain old man, the bishop OF an
obscure city, plain indeed, and not much yer,
sed in civil or worldly matters, but a good
divine. The other bishops, in a courtly and
respectful manner c~omplimen,ed their prince.
The old man did so likewise; yet he did moi
honor the Emperor's son as the other had
doLe, but approaching him as a boy, said,
"God save thee, son. and began to stroke
him with his hand. The Emperor was
moved, and resented it as an injury done his
son, that he was not equally honored as him.
self, & commanded the old bishop to be ex.
PEELED in disgrace. AS they were removing
him, he turned and said, "Thus think, U
King, that the heavenly Father is angry at
those who honor not the Son with equal
honor, and presumtuously say, that he is less
than him that begat him."
The Emperor, struck with the saying, called
the bishop, and having asked his pardon, con-
fessed he said true.

Mr.. Webster still clings to the flesh pots

Federalism and Democracy would then soon

Limitation, does the decision compel the leg.
~islature 10 renew it; or does it deprive the
executive Of its constitutional right of opin.
ion and action? No! The decision of the
Supreme Court does not amend the consti
tuition. 1t merely declares what that instru.
ment means, and whether it authorizes an
act OF Congress. 1t merely says that a par,
ticular law is constitutional, but does moi
abolish the right to repeal the law, or take
from any branch of the government the right
OF urging a constitutional objection to an.
other and similar law.
The veto power Of the President is un-
limited. The constitution gives him the
right Of rejecting any bill; nothing but an
alteration of the constitution can take that
right away, and the judiciary have no power
to alter the constitution. The judiciary de-
cided that one law, creating a national bank,
was constitutional. The President declares
that a bill to create another is unconstitution-
al. Each acts within its respective consti.
tutional powers; and as well might W. say
that the veto controls the Supreme Court,
as that the decision Of the Supreme Court

HI JOURNAL.
SATURDAY, OCT. 9, I84l.

A dead calm has fallen upon the Sea Of
Politics The publicmind is once more at
rest. The feverish excitement, which but
yesterday pervaded all classes has now sub.
sided. The storm OF popular feeling-of
hope and fear-of doubt, and uncertainty
has blown over, and the season for calm de-
Liberation and sober reflection has arrived.
But while the people are at rest politicians
will be busy. New schemes;willbs devised TO
"hsad Capt. Tyler" Springs will be put in
motion for the next presidential campaign.
Mr.. Clays white Charleys will not sleep
upon their posts. They will be active in con
certing measures, between this and the next
session of Congress to advance his interests
and TO promote his designs. The next Con.
gress will be a President-making Congress.
The Wings have cut loose from the Presi-
tial, and abandoned him to his fate. Hence
forth he has to take care Of himself, and to
encounter the opposition-the f~actious, I'M
firing opposition Of his late friends. They
will thwart and defeat every measure
he proposes, and he will necessarily have
to look elsewhere for support. Mr.. Clays
withdrawal from the Senate, will be the sig
nal for indiscriminate opposition to the Ad-
ministration, and its measures, and the COM
mencement Of his intriguing for the Presi-
dency. So we 90.

the Jacksonville lllinoian. and we have heard
the report from other sources, that the Tel

about $4,000. He has been committed to
prison for examination-to escape, afterwards
as Town did from the Jacksonville Jail.

ANOTHER GREAT FoRoERY.--The New
York papers mention the commission Of a
great forgery effected in the same way and
BY the same rogue who recently cheated
Messrs. Brown, Brothers & Co., of New
York. The Herald says that the house Of
Messrs Cliburn & Co. the agents Of Fletcher,
Alexander & Co, Of London, have been
swindled out Of $4,000.
A letter of credit was receivd from New
Orleans, advising them Of a shipment Of cot
ton to Fletcher and Alexander Of London,
and authorising the house in New York TO
negotiate for $4,000. This amount was
transmitted in twenty five one thousand
dollar bills Of the Bank of America, to the
person in Georgetown or Alexandria.
The amount obtained Of the Browns was
$4,000, and it was sent to the "%inancier"
according to his request in funds Of the Dis.
trict of Columbia. On receiving the cash,
the fellow had the cool sarcam to return a
letter Of thanks for their ''Promptltude and
accuracy" in followin. his Instructions.

the stock. Both were coups'd etat, inven'
ted by the "white CHARLES" Of Congress.
with a view of draDinga line betueen Henri,
Clay and Captain John Tyler. The defuncl
Cabinet ministers had long since made up
their minds to retire, because they found Jno.
Tyler would be the President Of the whole
country, and not Of a party-of a base fac
ton. There was no unwanted knowledge
in predicting these events. In April last, on
the accession Of John Tyler, We made the
same predictions-that there would be nc
bank-that the Cabinet would be dissolved
and that the ultra Wing party would be
eternally exploded, and sent up Salt River.
Any other person Of clear views and knowl.
edge of human nature, might have done the
same. Ever since we established the Herald,
all our predictions have com out. We pre-
dicted the suspension Of specie payments in
1897, six months before they took place
we predicted the downfall Of Mr.. Van Buren,
- we predicted the success Of Gen. Harri-
son-we predicted the explosion of the Uni
ted States Bank-and We now predict the
utter defeat Of the Wing patty in this State,
ct the ensuing election, on account of their
folly and wickedness. What is to be the
fate of Captain John Tyler and Henry Clay,
any one can predict that will look at their
several positions and prospects in the great
struggle soon to take place before the people,
on the terrible BANK QUESTION.
