JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE ON THE VETO

The Intelligencer has, if we mistake not, CO.
pied single toast written in Philadelphia, and
the oracular remarks Of an anonymous cores
pondent Of magazine to prove that the Demo-
cratic party were dissatisfied with President
Tyler Below we give the expressions used at
nine different meetings, in New York, the
People being present
FOURTH WARD.-Resolved That in the several
vetoes of the President of the United States, upon
the bank bills, &c., and more particularly upon the
last Ubiquitous and impolitic Wing measure of con-
Meeting the scheme of distribution with bill for
venue, meets our most hearty appreciation, and we
deem it not only an act of justice but of duty OF the
great Democratic party, to tender to the Executive
of the Union our most heartfelt thanks for so man.
fully performing this noble and patriotic act.
FIFTH WARD-Resolved, That we are opposed to
a Tariff designed to benefit few lordly manufactu-
rers at the expense of the great mass of the people
that we are opposed to distributing the proceeds of
the public lands among the States, only that the peo-
pie may be taxed to supply the deficiency which the
distribution will necessarily cause and that there
fore the Veto of President Tyler is regarded most
fortunate exercise of that salutary power.
Resolved, That had the bill become law, it
would have operated with peculiar hardship the
workingmen of our seaports among many such ca
ses, may be noticed the enormous duty which would
have been placed on sheathing copper, and which
would have had the effect of sending our vessels to
European ports for repairs and thus take from thou
sands of our mechanics the means by which they now
obtain livelihood.
ANOTHER MEETING IN THE FIFTH-Whereas, the
conduct of the majority of the Congress OF the UNI
ted States in endeavoring to head Capt. Tyler, and
thereby totally neglecng the interests of its constit
uents, calls for the strongest terms of apprehension
from the Democracy of the country And
Whereas, John Tyler the accidental President as
Loh ooh cd INV hoQp pYp
csed his power, and has, Tor the fourth time inter
posed his veto thereby staying the mad career of un-
principled men, therefore
Resolved That in the view of this meeting, the
majority of the representatives of the people OF the
United States has basev betrayed the trust confded
to it, and receives the unqualified Reproduction of this
meeting
Resolved That John Tyler, in vetoing the last bill
passed by John M. Bolts and his coadjutors, is en-
titled to the thanks of the Democracy of this entire
Union.
Resolved That in this act Of John Tyler, we per-
ceive the blaze of that undyng fame of Democracy,
which once lit in the breast of patriot not all the
hard cider expressed can have the power to
extinguish.
Resolved, That in John Tyler we recognize a
brother Democrat.
SIXTH WARp.- Resolved, That we congratulate
our country upon the frmness evinced by President
Tyler, in vetoing the Bills of denominations passed
by corrupt, reckless and knavsh Federal majority
in Congress- and only regret he did not take stronger
Democratic ground in his last message.
| SEVENTH WARD.-Resolved, That we recognise
the strong arm of Providence in the destiny of this
nation The interposton of the single vote of John
TYLER has arrested the unhallowed and monstrous if
not revolutionary designs of party so conscious of
its own dcformity, as to hide them from the public
eye until after the generous confidence of an abused
people had placed the traitors in power
NINTH WARp.-Resoved That we disapprove and
denouncc the late big ,rhig tariff bill containing, as il
did, clause for the distribution, in effect Of the very
revenue which it proposed to collect and deem
Presidents Tyler's conduct entitled to the approval
of the American people in giving it his veto.
Resolved, That tariff is tax-and that we hold
revenue tariff adequate to the wants of government
economically administered, with such Incidental pro
