The following paragraphs are from the ST

have heretofore remarked, is neural as 10 poll
tics and political men, hut the editor Of which
is one o! the farpst, most dspissonate aud far

by his Veto message; aud tina, he has taken q
course which is perfectly in harmony with his
whole career as public lnan.

The Veto Message certainly leaves ME question
quite open. The President. in that message, lay,

upon the two features Of the Bli--its conpnlSOr,
