We hasten to lay before readers the Mes
sage Of President Tyler on the Bank Bill.
1t was sent to the Senate Monday, and its
effect upon the Cabinet and Congress we have
yet to learn. The Phil Gaz. says
ssWe learn that all the members of the CaS-
met, including Mr. bsdger, approved of the bill
and that a veto Of it WIN be followed by the res
ipnation of them all. The fate Of the other bills
will thus be rendered doubtful, and the
quence fall may be an lrreconeilable division in
the administration party.
The Veto, it will be seen, is unqualified in its
terms. The President disapproyes of ths bill on
the broad ground of unconstitmionality. lie is
of opinion that Congress has no power, under lle
Constitution to incorporate National Bank with
authority to perform the proper functions of To-
cal Bank.
He is particularly opposed to that provision of
the bill which contemplates the establishment OF
Branches in any OF the States without their con-
sent; or as the may be, against their consent;
and says such provision can never receive his
sanction.
The effect of the Veto will probably be, to pre-
vent the incorporation of any National Bank at
the present session.

States, August 18th, l84l.
To THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Bill entitled sAn act to incorporate the
subscribers of the Fiscal Bank of the United
States which originated in the Senate, has been
considered by me with sincere desire to conform
my action in regard to it., to that of the two
Houses of Congress. BY the constitution it is
made my duty, either to approve the bill by sign
ing it, or to return it with my objections to the
House in which it originated. 1cannot conscien-
tously give it my approval, and proceed to dis
charge the duty required of me by the Consiltu-
tion-to give my reasons for disappearing:
The power of Congress to create Natof "a
Bank to operate per Sc over the Union, hes oeei-

the very men who condemn them--to nominate

The Duel between wright and ool,ev


Wright and Oakley came from nothing,
and they each gained the object of their
hearts content-wealth and standing in
soclety-N rightin Savannah and Oakley
in New Orleans.
There is a machine called the wheel
of fortune, invented by some dreaming
ancient who had nothing else to do, /
suppose. Wright suddenly found him
self on the descending side, and with
view to get back again came to New Or
leans, where he managed very we'll for
sometime, acting as the agent of Wilde,
Pickersgill & Co., a large European
mercantile concern, His old habits, how
ever, did not leave him, and his friends
began to desert him. Revenge seized
his soul, and forthwith he set out with
view to expose the mode of doing bust
ness by his principals, by the merchants
generally, Of whom he was large one,
once upon time.
He wrote articles for the New Orleans
Times and killed it and its good naiured
silly editor and proprietor Mr.. Branch.
lie then took the New Orleans Democrat,
and soon put an end to that concern
The next victim Of his spear was the
New Orleans Tnteligencer.
About this time the Vicksburg Senti-
mel took up the subject Of the list sys

merchants, because he saw every day
less merit than his own rolling in wealth.
contributed facts or statements of what
we're called facts, to Hagan. Every DO
dy admitted that the list system could be
abused as we'll as any other system, but
nobody could be found to say that he had
cheated the planter under it, or that he
knew his neighbor did.
In the course of time Oakley became
an Immensely rich man, but the reveres-
es of 1887 shocked him conside rably.-
With that activity for which he is so
well known here, he bore up against the
shock upon the general credit of the ma
