veto is expici, and uncquvocal. There is no
suggestion Of any substitute in it, and this we re
gard as the best feature Of tho message. John
Tyler is uneompromising|y opposed to national

questionable exPedjcncy. As the bill passed and

From one extremity OF the uAlOn to the other, in
nearly all the public addresses made by the sue

decidedly kept out OF view. The csnsidates for
the two highest offices of hs Government never
