Correspondence of the Madisonian.
BALTIMORE, Md, August 10th, 1912.

DALAimOncs lsAu.s august ioth, AO1~'
Mr.. EDITOR: The late Message of the President,
returning the Tariff and Distribution bill with hs
objections, has been lead with much interest and sa-
tisacton by the citizens of Baltimore. There seems
to be but opinion expressed by the candid, liberal,
moderate and enlightened portion of the community in
relation to the which excellent patriotic,
and independent Chief Magistrate has deemed it ex-
pedient to pursue in relation to that bill He has, on
this particular OCCASION shown to the nation and to
the world, that his Roman frmness is equal to any
emergency; and, unless greatly mistake the charac-
ter of the American People, the name of John Tyler
in all future time, will be associated with all that Is
good worthy to be remembered in the history of his
country. Other statesmen that have filled that ex-
allied station have had trials to encounter and difficult
ties to surmount but not of them has been sub
jected to the fiery ordeal through which the present
incumbent of the Executive Chair has had to pass !;
and not one of them, I may add, hos come out in a
brighter blaze of glory. The policy ofa majority Of
the present Congress in connecting, in ENGRAVING
upon Tariff or Repenue BILL feature SO foreign to
the subject Distribution, is here fully understood,
and the motive properly appreciated
Mr.. Tyler, with Mr.. Clay, voted for the Compro-
mise act of 1888, and signed the Distribution bill of
the extra session, passed by Wing majority which
re-afirmed the principles of the Compromise, and
which provided among other things, that when it be-
came necessary to raise duties beyond 20 per cent.
that distribution should Yet, notwithstanding
all this in the face of these garng facts staring them
in the face the majority of the present Congress pass
Revenue bill connected with Distribution, and then
call upon the President to sign the bill, or take the
alternative Of leaving the Government without reve-
nue He has discharged his duty faithfully and hon.
estly and throws the responsibility where it should
rest-upon Congress- 1t is now to be seen whether
that body will meet the responsibility whether they
will return home to their constituents without provid-
ing the necessary revenue to carry on the Govern
mentor whether they willing every interest
sacrificed for the laudable purpose of heading Capt
Tyler in the proper discharge of his constitutional
duty.
The policy of raising revenue by taxation for the
purpose of distribution among the States, finds but
few advocates among those with whom have con-
versed When the Government is greatly in debt and
much embarrassed in carrying its ordinary opera
tons the policy of giving away those means which
should, in common justice and common honesty, be
especially appropriated the liquidation of the just
demands upon the Treasury, is justly and strongly
repudated OHIO.

THE DEFUNCT :.REvENUE BILL. F"

We are assured, by knowing friend, that it
was ascertaned on Wednesday last, in the
House, that if the vote had been taken on the
bill vetoed by the President, a majority Mould
haze voted against it.! This is very probable,
since authentic information demonstrates that
the bill would not have yielded more than $12,-
100000 revenue.

AN INVOLUNTARY HIT.

The Philadelphia Gazette, in noticing the
VEro, makes the following awkward expires
sion:
What is to be done7 This is the serious and anx
ious question in every ones mouth. We cannot now
give it detailed answer but one sufficient answer we
can give. Wings, do your duty. Stand by your prn-
ciples, and stand firmly together. Your ancestors
never computed the amount Of the tex upon tea
They paid millions Of times much IN toll and suf-
fering bu, they paid no tax.

THIS RETRENCHING CONGRESS-!

The House adopted resolution the other
day to pay Gales and Seaton some $4,000 for
books for the use of members. These members
are now sending them home through the mails,
whittier they will soon follow, never to return.
1t is fact that the mouer of the resolution has
written home declining an election.

THE INTELLIGENCER's LOGIC.

he IN IELLIOUIVOEIt y 1ION1HO'-
The Intelligencer argues that, inasmuch as the
Federal Clay Wing candidate for Governor is
elected in NJ Carolina, the State is entirely safe
for Clay, and the fact that there will be majo-
rity of Republicans in the Legislature, in no
way lessons the Wing victory.
Now, we would ask the Intelligencer. if it is
guided by the above rule, what pretext it had
for claiming LOUISIANA for Clay, which elected
a Republican Governor and a Wing Legisla-
ture ?
We doubt very much whether Messrs Man
gum and Graham will exut over the 'victory"
in the North State. After rejecting so many of
the Presidents nominations, they must now
submit to rejection themselves.

uOFF WITH HIS HEAD %

When the late Postmaster General from his seat
in the House of Representatives, boosted that he had
brought 5000 heads to the block, the whole Wing
press shouted glad sic denim" But now the resto-
ration is commenced, and these same presses are
yelping like whipped dogs. Why should John Tyler
keep men in Office who use their official power to
crush him. We should feel but mighty little respect
for him were he to curl quietly to the lash. These
men call him wretch turncoat' -''traitor'-
simbecilen-"scoundrel, and all the other choice
epthets of the Wing vocabulary, and yet think it
mighty oppressive it, in return, he takes from them
post Office, or some public printing, and gives them
to those whose tongues will be more respectful He
taking the right course, and we hope he will make
one general sweep. The people of the nation are
sick at heart of the eighteen months Wing regime,
and will sustain him in it. They "want change"

WASHINGTON. Saturday niUht Dee TO-

WASHINGTON, Saturday night. Dec. TO-
The first week OF the session is already gone,
with only two actual days of business, owing to
the failure Of the Senate to form a quorum on
Monday and Tues day. 1t is matter not only
Of usage, but of proprie,y, to adjourn over the
first Friday and Saturday to give time for the
organization of Committees, without which no
legislative actions can proceed. The Commit
tees will be announced in both Houses on Mon
day morning. No material change will be made
in the standing Committees of las, session.
The contest for the right of petition will doubt
less be terminated on Monday by laying on the
table Mr. Adams's resolution to rescind the infa.
nous twenty first rule. The arrivals since the
last vote appeared to have reinforced the slave
side Of the question SO far as to give majority
against freedom OF speech. We have however,
gained few votes by the arrival Of Mr. John
Young, of New York, Messrs Wallace and Lane
of Indiana ; and some others. The number of
members in attendance at the House next week
will be nearly 800. If the vote is tight one,
we must look out for some dolging among the
Locofocos o. New York and Main.
The whole Locoloco party feel the great i'm
portance of having the twenty-hrst rule retained
by this Congress. If it is rescinded it will i'm
pose upon them the painful necessity Of formally
re enactng i',& mourning the odious responsible
ity of reenslaving the North, after its recent
emancipation by Wing House. But il the rule
is now retained, they will merely adopt all the
rules of the last House in the usual form and
in reply 10 any complaints of tina, which excludes
our petitions, they will say, 1--WE have merely
adopted the rules of a Wing House, just as they
left them"
But sad as this termination OF the protracted
and expensive strife for the right Of petition in
| all the three session Of this Congress, no man
