THE VETO POWER
.journed,

One objection alleged by the Clay Wings against
the recent We Isl that it based on the mere in
expediency of the Little Bill" and not on its UNI
constitutionality. In reply, Messrs Wise and Smith
of this State, in Congress, have pointed to veto by
General Washington, grounded simply on inexpedi-
ency. There seems to be nothing in the Constitution
to justify the objection to Mr.. Tyler's last veto-
The words of the Constitution eff he approve "a
bill,' I've shall sign it but if not he shall return it
with his objections &c
lnexpediency may be as just ground of disappro-
val as unconsitutlouality Suppose Congress should
pass an act IN time of peace to raise army of
100000 regulars Such act would be perfectly con
sttutional, for the Constitution expressly authorizes
Congress to and support armies vet surely it
will be admitted that the President would not be
bound to sign such bill
Again. the Constitution in reference to the Presi-
dental duties says 'He shall, from time to time
give to Congress information of the state of the Union
and recommend TO their consideration such measures
as he shall Judge necessary and tIpedlsnt" Now,
since il is his duty TO recommend such measures as
he shall Judge necessary and erped<nt," would 1t be
consistent or reasonable 10 compel him TO rstiiy
measures" which he might deem unnecessary and
inexpedient The inexpediency Of measure may
in many be fatal objection to II as ITS ub-
constulonaty and to deprive the Executive o. its
veto power in such cases. would be 10 psrsIyze that
jwer in where lts exercise would be most ne
cesssry for the public good.

THE TARIFF.

Whoever will carefully watch the debates in Con-
gress upon the tariff hardly doubt that the major
ity DESTROYS of preventing any adjustment of the
subject for the purpose of keeping il for theme at
the stump on the next Presidential election All ad
NIT that the Treasury is bankrupt, and that rev.
enue must be raised by duties. The majority insist
that duty of 20 per cent, imposed by the co,npro
mise not sufficient, and contend further that no ,w
exists for the collection Of this rate. This majority
admitting the insuficency of this rate, affirming that
no law exists for the collection of any thing will pass
no law without the distribution ofihe public lands
They know that the President will sign no bill with
this provision, and that constitutional majority
against the President cannot be obtained Yet soon
er than yield this single point, they will leave the
Treasury bankrupt, all the public officers excepting
themselves unpaid, and the country in disgrace. All

VETO NO. 3.

President Tyler has vetoed the bill just passed by
Congress, rePudiatng the Compromise act ard the
proyso against distribution and in doing this he has
acted like honest, Independent man, and in de-
spite OF the influence of faction that would disgrace
our country and destroy her prosperity for the pur
pose of carrying out their own political designs
Let his views, in relation to a Tariff be what they
may, he has signaly rebuked the political madness
of the Federal party, and done but justice to his
country by refusing to distribute the proceeds of the
Public Lands amongst the States, while the Govern
ment stands so desperately in need of them herself
The Clay Wings are in great pucker in conse-
quence OF these reverses and they say ever so many
hard things against Mr.. Tyler, calling him " loco
foco" traitor" and the like 1t is plain that all
their attempts, thus far, to head the Captain have
not only proved abortive, but have lecoiled upon
themselves.
The country D thank Mr.. Tyler for his nterfer-
ence to prevent the contamination of the schemes of
extravaganza which Congress, elected by false and
fraudulent pretences, seeks to impose upon people
whose confidence that Congress does not possess

A SOURCE OF TROUBLE.

The Federal press finds tselfin a very delicate po-
siion in regard to the Veto power in general but
particularly respects the exercise of by President
Tyler. That such power is granted in express
terms to the Executive they dare deny, and il
would avail them nothing if they did for with all
their ingenuity and sublety of construction they
not otlllera,e he seventh section q the first article
fEom The fair face of the Constitution. The most they
chn do the efore, is to call 1t exceed ngy delicate
and nice sort of power-one whose exercise, in
any event. Is fraught with considerations and
gu of tremendous and fearful character as to
induce any to abstain from It, Aud they 20 on

1t ease that such refining as this would an

Houses. Can any one suppose that such the de-

con,Irng this power upon the Executive Department
they intended il TO be exercised? We opine
hot. The necessity for lis use implied in the very

IMPEACHMENT OF PRESIDENT TYLER.


1t appears TO be the determination of Mr. Bolts to
bring forward in Congress resolution to iD,peach the
President The resolution it said will be sustained
by the Federal Wings and the impeachment bill will
be signed by Mr.. Mangum, President of the Senate,
who will act President of the United States during
the remainder of the Executive term We expect
fun shortly. Captain Bolts has failed to head Capt.
Tyler, and now wants to behead him 1t will not do.
The trick will not answer. Even if impeached, Mr..
Tyler would be President until conrcted-it is SO laid
down in the 4th section of the I'd article Of the United
States Constitution Congress has right to say ,chO
shall administer the Executive in the premises.
Besides this, even if Mr. Tyler impeached, he
would have to be tried by the Senate the Chief JUS
tice presiding, and hcothirds Of the members would
have to be present. and consent, to produce convc-
ton So the thing is mere absurdity, and Mr. Bolts
will have to hunt up some other mode Of ''headng
off" Captain Tyler. We wonder if this Bolts is tenn
perance MANI We doubt it.
TYLER MEErNGs-The friends Of the Adminstra-
ton are rapidly forming into strong party and no
doubt at the present time hold the balance of power
between the two great political divisions of people
known Democrats and VIII s. The factous
course Of conduct Of the Federal Wings in Congress
is but rendering the Executive more popular with
the people, even among the rank and file of the
Wings themselves In this city, from small hand
full, mere ''corporals guard " the Tylerites have
augmented their strength very considerably indeed.
They determined to do battle manfulIy, and at
the ensuing sll campaign will set the ball in motion
in this city primary movement towards the ac-
complishment of greater things at the Presidential
campaign. We glad to see their spirit The
