THE RADICAL.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER, 4, 1s4l.
Consistency.

1t was one of the prominent arguments of the
Wings, during the extra session, for the creation
Of a Bank, that the people wanted it, and there
fore Congress and the Executive should give
them one. 1t has been, toe, the fruitful source Of
Il the charges of treachery on the part of the
-lresidest. What becomes now of this argu-
lent9 "WHa$is sauce for the goose, is sauce for
ne g~ander." If in ls4o the people declared in
hvor of a Bank, in is4l they have taken aAsober,
second thought, and reversed their decision. In
every state in th9 Union, save Massachusetts and
Tennessee, the democrats have succeeded in the
elections this sear; and in these States, the
Federal majoriilss have been greatly reduced
and that, too, after the issue of Bank or no Bank
was distinctly anAd unequivocally rendered by the
Wing Congressional address.

Sugar from Indian Corn,

WHEN Col. Taylor of Virginia, pronounc-
ed Indian corn to be "meat. meal, and ma
nure."h he should have added, as he might in
strict truth, it was also oil and sugar. We
have ourselves seen barrels of the rurest oil,
for lamps or other uses that was made from
corn. and every one has been aware that
molasses was another Of its products. A
short time since we laid before the public an
inquiry from the Hon. II. l.. Ellsworth of
Washington, as to the mode of making mo-
lasses from corn, and we have the pleasure
Of furnishing from a letter read at 4 meeting
of the Newcastle (Delaware) Agricultural
Society, from William Webb, Esq. of Will
mington, the process which has been adopted
by him, and which has been eminently sue
%cessful, as the beautiful samples of g as
well as molasses exhibited, clearly demon
strated. Mr.. Webb says:
"The manner Of raising the corr and ma
king the sugar, is as follows:-the corn is
planted in rows 9 1-2 feet apart, and the
stalks are left to stand in the row 8 inches
one from another; 1t is then cultivated in the
usual manner. Some time in August, or as
soon as the stalk shows a disposition to form
grain, the ears must be taken off; this opera
ton must be carefully attended to, as upon
it entirely depends success. After this, there
is nothing more to do until the crop is ready
to be taken up, which will generally happen
in September; the stalks are then cut up at

about the consistency of thin cream, is then
added with the juice, one spoonful to the gal

poured into boilers which are covered until
the liquid approaches the boiling point, when
the scum must be taken of. 1t is then boil

Who fashioned this green earth with its per-

of the mountains? Who paved the heavens

storms, the voice of t~hunGers, and unclaimed
the lightnings that linger, and Turk, and flash
in their gloom? Who gave to the eagle a
safe eyrie where the tempest dwell and beat
strongest, and TO the dove a tranquil abode
amid the forests, that ever echo TO the rniu-
strelsy of her moan? Who made thee; oh
man, with thy perfect elegance Of intellect
and form? Who made light pleasant to thee,
and the darkness a covering and a herald to

fire to avoid burning. The boiling is gener-
ally completed, when six quarts are redu-'
ced to one; it is then poured into coolers or
moulds and set aside to crystallze. When
this process is gone through the sugar is to be
separated fem the moIasses, and the operation
is finished. The process here detailed, gives
the quality of sugar you see in the samples. 1t
required, it can be afterwards refined as other
sugar. The use Of animal charcoal, and the
employment Of steam in the process of eva
poration, az is common in the manufacture
of beet sugar, would, / am confident, pro
duce white sugar at ,ne operation. From
what is known on the subject, / fully believe
that an acre of good ground treated as above
described, will yield at least 1000 lbs. Of su-
gar-probably mere. The value of the fod-
der taken from the stalks, and of the stalks
themselves, after passing through the mill,
will be more than an equivalent for the whole
expense of cultivation and keeping the
ground up. The fodder produced in this
way is much superior to that usually made,
ir,a.m its containing a greater quantity Of sac
charin,, matter"
We consider the experiments made by
Mr.. Webb as mcSt important, and doubt not
he country will find cause of qualification
at the success Of his efforts to produce sugar
from corn. The process is remarkably SIM
pie, the fixtures Cannot be expensive, and
the difficulties which have hitherto attended
and prevented the making OF sugar from the
bee, in this country, do not appear in the:
case Of corn TO exist. The iorelgn SUBJ
stances in beet juice renders its conversion
into sugar an intricate and delicate process;
while there seems to be no more obsicc'es m
the way of making sugar frsm corn than
from the juice of the sugar cane or ma
pie. From some cause, the ANALYSIS Of
beets in this country, mas not shown the
of saccharine matter that the
or German beets produce; while
from the fact that if there is one plant more
American than another, Indian corn
Is that one, we may expect that it will be
in greater perfection here than in
other part Of the world. The value of

GENERAL ScoTT.-This gentleman, who seems
mostly likely TO receive the wlig nomination for
the Presidency since the disasters of the Clay
men at the late election, has come out with an ex-
position of his political creed. It is such as
shows that he will answer the purposes of the
wings, but will not do for the democrats.
He was opposed to John Adams and opposed
to Thomas Jefferson, in favor of the war with
England, no jacobin [meaning democrat proba-
bly7 and no federalist, but a democratic whig."
He is in favor of the supremacy of the SUI
preme Court and the life tenure of the Judges.
Like Henry Clay, he is for abolishing the veto,
requiring however ten long days for considera-
ton after a bill is returned by the President, be-
fore it can be passed into a law by a bare majori-
ty.
He is opposed to rotation in subordinate Of
fees.
He is in favor of one Presidential term of four
or sir years.
He approves the Land Distribution Bill, the
Bankrupt Bill, and the Fiscal Corporation Bill,
and thinks a United States Bank necessary.
He has not been a member of a masonic lodge
for thirty years, nor been present in a lodge meet
inn for sixteen years.-r Pennsulpdnian.

The Veto Message,

All doubt is over. The President has taken tho
responsibility, and the Bank Bill is vetoed. We
could hardly bring our mind to believe that such
would be the result but the appearance this morn
ing o. the Presidents Message TO Congress, return
Ing the A" Fiscal Bank BIl,'' with his objections
which we received by Carpenter & Harris's Ex-
press, has put the matter to rest.
We see nothing in this message TO recommend it.
II contains views but reiterates two or three
old thread bare objections against the establishment
of Bank. His first for not signing the bill
is,he consulonaity of Bank is an unsettled ques-
tion and that he has taken open ground against
Bank for twenty five years "An unsettled ques-
tion' This is really strange language for chief
magistrate of these Uuted States to use at this late
day of history. If this question IS not settled,
how can any question Of constitutional law.
become settled II has passed through all the forms
known to our Constitution. The Legislative, Ex-
ecutive and Judicial departments have time and a
gain given it their anxious deliberaon, and decided
in its favor. Is there weight in all this' What
power in our Government to settle constitutional
questions Our Constitution says, the "Supreme

question in law and the Court on one occasion,
said, " 1t is our UNANIMOUS and DECIDED opn-
ion, that the measure is constitutional How then

ton
If the Bank question Is not settled question,
then no question of natonallaw ever become
settled under our Government As to what pri
vae opinions the President may have entertained
upon this or any other Constitutional question for
the last twenty-five years, unable to see
what they have to do with his action as President
of the United States.
He has sworn 10 support the Constitution not
as his private opinions dictate TO make it conform
his twenty-five years practice. but to support it
as it is as our forefathcrs made it, and as con-
strued by the Supreme Court, the power to which
the final settlement, o: such questions is given.
We have no time to day TO examine further the
Executive objections. We exceedingly regret
the President has felt called upon to take the
course he has, bat entertain not the slightest
doubt of his perfect honesty and his ardent de
sire TO do right.
In this situation ofmatters, it becomes the du
ty of the Whig party oact with the utmost
prudence and forbearance 1t is the desire,
beyond doubt, ofPresident Tyler to do right

cool, and all may yet end right
