THE SECOND VETO MESSAGE

The Presdent'sVeto of theFiscal Corporation
BILL was sent to the House of Representatives on
Thursday morning, and reached here by Express
for the Sun and other papers, at an early hour this
morning. AS the reading of the Message was not
finished when the Express loft, we have no ac-
count of the manner which il received
The opinion correspondent at Washington
has all along expressed, that the tone of the Mes
sage would be mild and conciatory towards Con-
gress and the people ID confirmed. The President
regrets he has not been able TO meet the wishes OF
Congress in the adoption of F fiscal Agent which
avoiding all Constitutional objections, should har-
monze conflicting opinions. He says he has been
ready to yield much in spirit ofconciliaton, to the
opinions of others; but his objections to the bill are
constitutional grounds, and his convictions men
tai and moral, imperatively required him to inter-
pose his veto
No other plan for a Fiscal Agent is recommend.
ed suggested, but it is minated that at the regu
lar session one will be proposed, which without vi
olating the Constitution, will perform the opera
tons of the Treasury without being burthensome
to the people, or nconvenent expensive to the
Government.
He says, owing to the brief space between the
death of President Harrison and his own insialla-
ton into office, he had had no time to prepare
submit definite recommendation of his own, in
his regular Message.
The President compliments the two Houses of
Congress the result their labors, and express
his satisfaction that it has been his good fortune
and pleasure TO concur with them in all measures
except this.
The Message, take it all in all, is calculated to
dsappoint the hopes aud wishes the opposition,
and the disorganzers in ranks. Let the
concliatory spirit which the President manifests be

patiently until the regular session Of Congress and

All Of Gen. Harrison's Cabinet save Mr. Web
ser have resigned their places, and the President
has nominated others TO occupy them.
The members Of the new Cabinet were all sup
porters Of Gen. Harrison, from which, it may be in
(erred that the President has no Particular atfec
lion for Iocofocoism. Some OF the retiring Cabinet
have given their reasons for resigning.
Judge Mclean, was formerly Post Master Gener
al, and is distinguished for his ability and honesty
Of heart.
Walter Forward, from Western Pennsylvania,
is also Of great talents, and Native of New
England.
Hugh s. Legare, is an eloquent man and one of
the best scholars in the country, but probably like

CROWi-CROW!

The Locofoco "Chapmans' appear to find much
to crow in the result OF The Vermont election
but it Is all with much reason had their
Western brother in the late Presidential election.
For some reason the Wings did not turn out IL
their party after drilling for six months made out
to come out in nearly their full strength, and of
course came up within speaking distance of the
Wings.
For Observation-Disclosures county turned out a.
bout 5000 Wing votes at the late election, and the
iocofocos 1900. Last year the Wing votes was
nearly 5000, and the locofoco 400 showing
thar the locos have gained nothi ing, and that the
wings remained at home Now by the same eff
fort of the wings in Windsor county that the locofo
made this year, the Wings would have come
out with their 3,400 majority, instead of some
over 900. Such is about The all over the
State. If the locos will crow they will do us a
favor, for our folks will see the necessity OF COM
ing out next year.

DoINGs OF A WING CONGRESS.

The Wings in Congress are entitled TO, and
will receive from great and generous nation, the
warmest and most grateful acknow led gements -
We will pronounce without fear of contradiction
that the present session has accomplished more for
the well being and prosperity of the country, in
the same length oftma, than any session for the
last twenty years. Let us take brief review of
some of their acts The Bankrupt systematic

ration BiH-those great and prominent measures
which have for years, been struggling to come to
relieve and bless our land, have now passed by
triumphant maoritles Of the Representatives of the
People; and the four first have become settled
laws. The Sub Treasury Repeal Act-The Loan
RtN, which with the ReUenue Bill will place the
treasury in honorable independence, and enable il
to discharge with promptness all its obligations
The Post Office Loan, which frees that depart
ment from embarrassment-The NaDal Ordnance
and the Home squadron BUls which place pro
tecting and disciplinary force along our own shores
These are parts of the noble system of Wing
policy, which has been finally adopted by patri.
otto and independent Wing administration, amid
the deafening din Of Demagogues, and against the
deadly struggles of as reckless, double dealing
principle-hating opposition ever figured in the
annals of history.

% We hardly know which scolds the Pres.
dent the hardest the loco or the Wing papers The
former like the veto, but the last part of it is sour
grapes to them they do not like to see the Pres.
dent throwing himself, as he does, into the hands
OF the Wings, and promising to suggest plan for
Fiscal agent himself at the regular session. The
Wings scold because they disappointed in not
having bank at the present session, 10 salty the

pecting good will come from present evil.

AND AMENDMENT TO THE
REVENUE Bull.

The House amended the Revenue Bill so as to
admit the taxation Of certain articles as high as IS
per cent and not suspend the operation of the Sen
ate Bill. The Senate concurred in the amend.
ment.
So thenJwhen the Rev ision of the Tariff takes
place there is objections to impost duty
on wooens, wool &c. Of IS per cent. for protec-
ton
This will secure protective Tariff and perhaps
as much as is necessary to protect the manufacture
ers and the wool-growing interest. We look upon
this triumph OF the Wings in the House, over
the Southern anti. tariff men.

Rail Rond Iron is taxed. There were not twenty
Wings both Houses OF Cong ess in favor OF tax

movement OF the locofocos that they were introduc

would not the Iocofocos do TO cheat and to gain
votes?

common honesty trying to deceive people in the
