PRESIDENT TYLER AND THE THIRD VETO.

If any thing were needed to show the sef-sacrifc-
ing and disinterested patriotism OF the present execu
tive the last message from his hand presents indubt
able evidence Of this truth, and shows in burning let
ters that his country welfare, and not his own ease
is the object Of President Tylers highest ambition
The whole history of the present administration al
fords proof that personal popularity has no considera
ton with the President when that popularity conflicts
with the duty of the patriot and President Tyler, by
taking stand'in direct opposition to the party TO
whom he his present exalted station has, while
he has thus doomed himself to the anathemas and bit
terest persecution of that party, earned just title to
the las ing gratitude of every true friend Of our COM
mon country Had he consulted his comfort,
or had he sought to enjoy the good opinion Of the
dominant party rather than TO promote the public good
this message would never have been written, but,
the contrary the provisional tariff bill, with the obi
distribution clause, would, by his signature have
become law.
The veto message is Just such paper as, we think,
must meet the appreciation of the democracy through
out the country 1t agrees with the friends of in
creased rate of duties that such increase is imper-
ousy called or by the present depressed condition of
the Of The country With the friends ofhe pro-
tecve system, agrees that, in laying tariff, due
regard should be paid to the encouragement Of do
nestle manufactures. The only point Il issue be-
the President and Congress is presented in that
clause of the provisional tariff bill which provides
for distribution of the proceeds of the public lands.
The President remarks truly, that the distribution
late extra session, could never have become law
less it had been expressly stipulated in that bill that it
should remain imperative whenever it was found ne
cessary increase the imposition of duties imports
above twenty per cent That bill, unjust and une
quail in its provisions could never have succeeded
even in the body through which 1t passed, unless it
had been so far shorn of It's strength to render it
probable that it would never go into effect. And
now the men who by party chcanery contrved to
snugge the distribution bill into existence, with the
general understanding that it was TO remain dormant
and imperative, are making desperate effort to bring
into active operation with all its odious features
through the same trckery which originally gave it
being. Unfortunately for them, however, but most
fortunate for the country, honest man guides the
ship Of state Neither the adulation of 1attering
sycophants, the threats of insulting brayadoes nor
the tricks of designing knaves can urge, intimdate,
or cajoe John Tyler to do that which he believes to
be wrong.
In Mr.. Tyler the democracy behold man who
though he was not their choice, imbodes their prln-
ciples. They behold in him man who owes his
present elevation to the frauds of the most corrupt
party that ever cursed any country but who is him
self actuated in his public conduct, by single desire
to promote the public good regardless OF either the
favor censure of the party who have placed him
in his present position.Regardmg him thus, they can
not fail to yield him heirmost ardent support while he
continues to carry out their principles President
Tyler has shown himself friend of the people, and
the people will sustain him in the honest and upright
which he has pursued as the chief magistrate
of a great nation.
