MR.. ADAMS REPORT.

The Intelgencer, of yesterday, gives US Mr.
Adams report IN Lin,ine, but the Printers to the
House of Representatives could find no space
for the counter reports of Gov. Gilmer and Mr..
Ingersoll 1.-THE creatures are at their dirty
work again;" and they announce that MIR. Ad-
ans report is to be the shbboleth of Wing faith,
under which Wing battles are to be fought, and
Wing victories obtained Well, be il so; but
we venture the augury that although battles may
be fought, that no victory will be won. Do
these editors think that the People of this coun-
try are ready to break down all the barriers of
the Constitution to crafty the peevlsh vanity of
poor old man, who cannot keep from poetry
when he should stick to prose? To talk of
" sucking armies and dry nursing the land" in
discussing grave constitutional question! The
old man has doubtless the recollections of his
youth to fash across his memory, when he in
dulged in such polished and courteous doggerels
against Mr.. Jefferson. Why, if he were to
bring forth his impeachment against the Presi-
dent-we opine it would be drawn up in verse.
McMurroch fully roves. But all badinage
apart, we regard the whole proceeding with
which Mr. Adams has allied himself as more
extraordinary than any thing which has occurred
in our history. The President, as required by
the Constitution, returns bill with his objec-
tons to the House, and the House refers his
objections to committee, who report resolu-
ton TO abolish the Veto power. Why not to es-
tablish Bank, the favorite hobby of the Bour-
bontes, of the men who have lived without
proiting by experience who would now have a
pie of live birds, to be let loose after the guests
were seated at the tabl,, because it was done
after the same fashion in the time Of Charlie
magne-and this resolution is endorsed by
Bolts and Rayner and Campbell and Pearce,
all men from the South, who thus announce to
their constituents their willingness to yield to
the leader of the Aboitionlsts of the House the
abolition Of the Veto. the only check which
stands between bare majority in Congress
and the property Of their constituents Have
not these men reached the very madness of the
moon? We shall have more to say upon this
subject anon.

THE ONE-MAN POWER.

One OF the clap-trap expressions now IN use
asserts that there is struggle going on which
must terminate in the decision OF the question
whether the President must yield to Congress
or Congress TO the Observation-Disclosures Mr.. Ty-
Ter is to be Dictator or President. Now,
were it true that the bill last vetoed by the Pre-
sident had been passed by large and decided
majority still it is obvious that he me rely exer-
cised a power conferred on him by the Constitu-
ton, and the struggle aforementioned, if it ex-
lists at all, is one sanctioned by that instrument.
But, waving now all discussion on the general
uestion, let us examine the true state of the
case in relation to the particular bill which the
President has returned to the Houae with his
objections.
Is there such a conflict as has been represent
ed between the President and Congress Look
into the facts. In the first place, if Mr., Berren
and Mr. Henderson, of the Senate, had been
true to their trust, the great revenue bill would
not have passed the Senate at all. The strug-
gle, then. is not between the President and
Congress, but between the President and the
majority in the House of Representatives. What
was that majority? We are to judge, evident
ly, not by the number accidentally present, but
by the number actually deputed by the People
to be present. Now, if every member had been
present, by what majority would the bill have
passed? BY the casting vote Of the Speaker!
So, then, the conflict is not between the Pre-
sident and an actual majority in the House, bu,
between the Pre- ident and the Speaker-be-
tween the man elected by the whole People Of
the country, and the man elected by single
district in Kentucky. Which, then, is the one
man power?

OPPRESSION-RHODE ISLAND.

We find the following prohigate strain of Fee

Union. From the accounts that have recently

of Rhode Island, and every where else, will find
that all men are FREE in this country, and that

THE MASSES MOVING!

Notwithstanding "hdt toast" the 4th
of July, and "that article" in the Democratic
Review, we see the Democracy of the country
hocking to the support of John Tyler by thou
sands and tens of thousands John Tyler is
not candidate for election in 1844-he will
serve the People if the People call upon him
he has no right to refuse-but he is now only
struggling for the good of the country, and only
desires his countrymen to support him in his
laudable and constitutional exertions. If he
falls, il will be while battling for Democratic
Republican principles, and any Democratic Re-
publican who can be induced to withhold his
support, in such times as these, by mere toast,
or an anonymous article in a Magazine, would
not hesitate to barter his principles for filthy
lucre. None such will be found among the hard
listed yeomanry of the land.
We copy the following demonstration from
The New Y ork Morning Post

Der of Democrats, say from 1900 to 4OOO assembled
