THE PRESIDENTS VETO.

This message, like its predecessors, is written in
neat, lucid, and argumentative manner Nothing
be clearer than the positions assumed by its
thor; and how body OF men, possessed of the least
honesty intelligence deny their Justice it is
difficult to perceive. Let every man read it. The
fact is, and every man must acknowledge it, the
wings have /" caught Tartar" Tyler is more of a
democrat than believed him to be. Again,
say, read it; it knocks whggery into GO cooked
hat and exposes the fallacy of wing arguments upon
this subject the trckery, and the real motives of the
men who holding the majority in Congress, refuse TO
alleviate the dstresses of the country but spend their
time in fishing for veoes," hoping thereby to ruin
the President in the estimation of the people, and
make capital for Henry Clay and the wing party
All this will eventually rebound upon themselves.
The people under stand the matter well there is a
contest going between the interests of The country
and the of the Federalisls To suppose that
the latter, attain their object, will hesitate n-
1icng stab upon the former, is very unreasonable ;
for where men, destitute of every principle of honesty
seek to compass particular end, ties sacred
to be broken, no object too holy to be desecrated.-
The Wings have the ascendancy in Compensatory
determined to their power for the furtheranee
of their own selfish ends present and future. If, to
unite their forces in the East and the West 10 ef-
feet any party object whatever it is necessary TO adopt
bargaining system Of legislation it must be done
though it involves the breach of every pledge
made and every settled principle of Government
agreed upon, and though the country may meanwhile
be bleeding at every pore, and the Treasury itself
bankrupt. And if they are arrested in their sordd
and baneiul career, as thank Heaven the Constitu-
ton has wisely provided they may be- then heard

THE IL 9 SENATE RE IECrInN

The impression has gone abroad pretty generally
among the people, that it all important to elect
the State Legislatures in the different States The
numerous rections made by the United States Senate
produced every where among the friends Of the re-
Jected candidates feeling of strong anxiety to get
the Legislatures, with the view Of changing the
jorty in the Senate of the United States. From
present appearances, il would seem as if they had
thoroughly succeeded. The people think that the
retoes OF the Senators upon President Tlers nonno-
lions are highly censurable-so much so, that they
are every where sending in their popular retoes
sssins, keeping such Senators IN power From the
ieae@ that have been unfolded in the volume of the
future, n seems quite PROBABLE that the rejecting
wing Senators will, in their turn, be rej,eied them

1t is stated in the New York Journal of Commerce,
that this distinguished Senator made of his hap
pest and most brilliant speeches, in secret session,
favor OF the ratification of the treaty with Great Br
tain recently concluded by the President and Lord
Ashburton. In the absence of particular knowledge
OF the details of the treaty, take the fact of its
meeting the sanction of John Tyler and John c. Cal
