MONDAY, August I6, l34l.
The Veto Message was Today received in
the Senate. in anticipation of which the gale
ries and the chamber were crowded al an carly
hour. 1t was received at 4 quarter past II
o'clock, the Bank Bill being returned with it,
and Immediately business suspended, was read
TO the Senate. OF the Message it is unneccs-
sary 10 speak, as you have il in full. 1t is,
however, received with applause by the Oppo.
sition, and in the c~oatrary manner by many o.
the Wings. Immediately after its reading, n
slight expression OF feeling was manifested in
The galleries, and Mr.. Benton instantly rose
and uttered severe dcprecatinns against the
'Bank r~ufians" and "Bank bullics." vino had
inSulied the Message, and in that the President,
the Senate. AID the country. He novel that
those who were instrumental in ii be removed
from The gallery by the scrgeant-at arms, ald
brought 10 the bar OF the Senate.
The kissing and appreciation were very faint,
of short Duration. and unhcard by many Of the
Senators.
Messrs. Rives, Benton Buchanan and 9th.
ers, spoke on this mo:ion, maintaining The ne
cessiiy of preserving the honor and dignity of
inc Senate inviolate from disturb incn of this
kind and in this instance the disturbance be.
ing SO slight, and being entirely unhcard by
some Of them, suggested aud pressing the
propricty of suffering this 10 pass without for.
mai action. The most conspicuous of the dis.
turbers was in the mean time, taken from the
gallery by an officer of the Senate and put in
custody of the Sergeant alarms. After a con-
versation of some length the subject was drop.
ped. and The person ordered 10 be discharged.
Mr.. CLAY, in his usually concise manner,
stated the situation of the bill, which had passed
both branches of Congress, and having been
presented TO the President for his signature,
was now returned with his objections. The
course now marked out in The Constitution was
10 reconsider the bill. and if it passed both
Houses by a vote OF two-thirds, il became a law
of the land, independently of the objeciions.-
He would not now debate the subject, it would
not be treating it with the gravity due 10 the
coordinate branch of he,,tiovcrumcnt, 20 Them
selves, and TO the Country. without time for
consideration of the objections. He therefore
moved that it be taken up for consideration
Tomorrow at II o'clock, and, in The mean time,
be printed.
After some conversation as to the hour of
taking it up Tomorrow, The motion was carried;
and. on motion of Mr.. King, 5000 extra copies
ordered to be printed.
The Senate then went into Executive ses.
sion. Prior to this, in the morning hour. Mr. |
Clay presented resolutions and proceedings of

27TH CONGRESSES Session.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Commercial Advertiser

Saturday, August ID.
The House did mol sit today. About 100 oi
the members went to Annapolis, where. by invi-
lation of Com. Morris, tn y were TO vis;l the U.
S., ship Delaware.
The President was expected to join them, but
he did not go. II is said that, as the S nate had
refused 10 adjourn and as the fate of the great
measure uf The session WIS still undecided, he
thought it improper to leave his post at this juno
ture.
Tie President has signed the bill 10 repeal The
Sub-Treasury ACT. and he is now, according 10

discharged under the directio, OF the President.
He will employ banks or individuals as The de

specie-paying banks, will he received in payment
of public dues.
Some suppose that the President has not yet
made up his mind as 10 his cour>e on the bank
bill. We shall soon know, as he cannot retain
the bill longer than Thursday.

prevailing spirit of the occasion, and that
Congress will not only carry out all its other
great measures. but will also make a fur
Their trial for Bank. at this Session. Pos.
isbly hat object may not be accomplished
til the next, but it seems to us to be worth
a trial. The House of Representatives has
shown how much important work may be
done in a short time, when men are both re-
solved aud firm. Where there is a will
there is a way. There is nothing SO difficult
not being impossible } that stout hearts
and willing hands cannot accomplish
it.
Let union and confidence, then, animate
the Wing party. Above all. let not the
miscarriage of a single measure defeat the
high-raised hopes ofthe country in regard
to others.
Papers at a distance, we observe, make
themselves busy with expected designations
of Cabinet Ministers. We give no heed
to such gossip: Why should the Cabinet
resign! They have. we presume, given
the President their honest advice, and he
mas received II respectfully afSi kindly; ana
if he feels bound by his own constitutional
opinion TO decide against ii, we do not see
that such a decision affords any ground for
resignation. The power Of approving and
disappearing Bills is one which is peculiar.
ly attached to the office of President, and
is hardly an Administration matter. Aswc
intimated yesterday, the President may,
upon any question, take the advice of his
Cabinet, bat he is under no legal obligation
TO follow it. According 10 our old-fashion.
ed notions, VIC should no more insist upon
any right in the Cabinet to control the
President in a matter so exclusively his own
tian we should of embracing the other
heresav, to which we also adverted yester'
day. which would make the President re-
sponsib!e for every act done by any of the
Heads of Departments, &c.

THE TONE OF THE OPPOSITION.

The Veto" beirg 4 document and &
power much rather fitted for the meridian
OF the opposition than for the Wing Party,
it is natural to look in orde" TO see what they
say of it.
In the first place, we are struck by the
strange PRINCIPLES Of what calls Itself the
exclusive democracy. The New Era and
the Evening Post are not content with Que
veto, but threaten warm and prolonged OPP
position to president Tyler, because TO the
veto on the Bank, he did not add another
on the repeal of the Sub4Treasury.
Now "Veto" is the one man power of the
Governments. Veto" is IN ono sense mon.
archy-"Veto" is the will ofLhe one resisting
tho will ofLhe many. The Strange principle
presented is, that what calls itself democracy
should thus rejoice IN the exercise of monarchy,
and not content with one sample of it, yet de.
mand more, and more, and more.
The Representatives OF the People in Con-
gress assembled ami recently elected pass an
act by a large majority, upon Which act a Vice
President becoming President by the death of
the Executive, whom the People elected, puts
his .'veto,"-and upon this resistance of tho

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.
Yours, truly.

1t is said by correspondents, that a Bank, 10
be located at Washington, with power to e.
tablish agencies in the several states, to deal
in exchanges, would receivethe favorable con-
sideration of the President, and that it is more
than probable that such an institution will be
proposed to Congress, and Immediately passed
that body. On the 10Th, the Bank bill return
ed By the President vetoed, was reconsidcred
by the Senate, and rejected, of course, two
thirds, being required to pass the bill. But
one loco voted in favor of the Bankrupt bill in
the House of Representatives, and but two in
the Serate, Mr.. Walker Of Mississippi, and Mr..
aloutan of Louisiana both instructed TO do
so.
Aft,- passing the Bankrupt bill, the House
of Rel resentatives took up the Senate bill to
renew lie charter of the District banks for three
years, and passed it by a large majority. We
cannot rredict the course of affairs, since the
banner of King veto has been unfurled, until
the agitated waters have subsi4d. 1t must be
mora or les disastrous TO the wings. But af-
ter all we find no reason for responding. The
wings in Congress are disposed to adopt tenn
peratc c~ou:isels, and to persevcro in carrying
through the remaining great measures of relief
originally contemplated. The correspondent
of the Express represents the Wings in high
spirits, determined to keep the wing flag flying
at Washington, and flashing high throughout
the Union.

THE VETO.

The destruction CT the cd Bauk OF the e.
States, which afforded the best currency the
world ever witnessed, threw the monetary az
, fairs Of the country into a sea Of endless fluc-
t~uations and utter confusion. Wreck ard dis
aster pervaded all the currents Of commerce
and business Th3 people demande d achangc.
They pointed with the disti1c;nos' Of the sa1
in the heavens, 10 the erection Of another
Bank. Gen. Harrison vas the cioson instru-
mant. The same act of God which bowed
the head Of one of the noblest of His race to
the grave, placed John Tyler in the chair Of
state. His inaugural address gave almost
perfect assurance that nc would carry out tho
known policy of his illas.riouJ predecessor,
and that the will of the people in relation TO n
Bank should be obeyed.
But it iv all in vain. John Tyler alone oan
correct the errors of the age, and lead back
the understandings of his deluded country
men into the paths Of everlasting truth ard
wisdom. The opinions of statesman, patriots,
Judges and juries, for near half q century, ac-
quiesccd il by all the states, and the people of
the union. seem to have passed before this self
confident man with but slight marks OF res
pcct or recognition. Why could he not look
to the example of the illustrious Madison,
who under similar circumstances yielded with
due Difference to the united wisdom OF the
n%ation7 But no; blinded by the sterile ab-
stractionism which has led so many Of tho
Virginia school from the paths Of practical
wisdom and experience, he madly seizes upon
the kingly prerogativc of the executive, and
brushes the hopes, the wishes and the dearest
interests Of his country to the earth. lie
closed his eyes to the we'll founded expecta-
tons of his friends throughout the union, and
to that harmony, without which the great OBJ
jects of our long struggle for reform would
fail of accomplishment.
In acting upon rigid dictates of his OWL
conscience as he processes, which every hon.
est man should respect, President Tyler
must have had some strange misgivings as to
rectitude of his course in the exercise of
this odious veto power under the c-ircumstan-
ces in which he found himself. 1t is 4 des-
potic feature in the constitution. 1t makes ths
president a king, and congress a cypher. By
