Gentlemen:-For the last l2 years the country,
has been convuscd and agtated at the Giant st,;I,
oil Executive usurpaton over the Constitution laws
and legislation aud from which, more than nn,,
other, has the patriot had most cause TO emble for
the fate Of our beloved institutions When Gen
Jackson first assumed his diclatorial career ard n,
tempted 10 make every thing bow down to his tyran-
meal VIII, swore undying hostility to Executive
prerosaive, and hon that time have labored in sea-
son aud out OF season, to crush this fatal bnne of
Republican Government You NAV think me ne
culiarly trGHSceHdcntal the subIect-but do con-
sder all the hue and cry raised about state rights

are aware OF whatt has done-et us attempt IN

demonstrations gwen out at Washington that the
President icH veto the Bank b provided IL is PASS
ed as originally reported 10y MIR. Clay, and il IL
pretty clear this demonstration Is "the ascertaned
fact"
Now il this is true, that John Tyler has minated
that he will veto this or any other measure thereby
to dictate or overawe the action oi Congress here

member not only Its tyrannIcal use but its influence
by Gen. Jlckson' With what unblusbinp tmnu-
dence his parasites proclaimed the flor OF Con-
gTeSs that lie would veto such and such measures
"hch did not SUIT the taste OF his gracious msesty,
and would not "enure" to the benefit Of party7
MeSsrs Edltors-this influence must be met at
the very threshold-it must be fowned down by
the Wings, at once, or they will be false TO their
principles and their professions. For one, can
never submit to II, no matter how favorable II may
he TO any measures may have at heart. IL is an
inherent principle IN every Wing to spurn dictaton
and you may set him down an unworthy dis

There appears to be a rather better feeling among
the Cotton holders, consequent upon the foreign

small and with no change in rates. The news from
