THE PRESIDENCY.

We publish to-day the communication of Hancock,
upon the subject of the Presidential election and
urging the claims of Mr. Calhoun as the candidate
of the Democratic party. We should be very will
ing to see Mr. Calhoun President but we are very
far from being satisfied that he will be the most suit
able candidate.
We dissent from our correspondent entirely as to
his doctrine of claims; recognise the claims of
man to office or to support it is the business
of the country to call to Office those who in
its judgment have most ability and disposition to
serve it.
We have said nothing heretofore on the subject,
because we have thought there plenty Of time to
agtate the question, but we have bestowed some
thought upon it, and the result of our reflections has
been that if the contest close at hand with the
present state of affairs, Mr. Van Buren, is by large
odds the most suitable person to be put in nomination
for the office. Our reasons for this conclusion
may perhaps give at some time when may think
it necessary discuss the relative merits of those who
are considered as of the number from whom this
choice is to be made.
There is yet in the womb of the future much which
may have great influence in this matter. The course
which MIR. Tyler is pursuing if honestly and
firmly persevered in, will make him very important
man in the selection. A few vetoes will rOut
the Wings, horse, foot and dragons, and put the
country to rights His veto of the little tariff will
give him strength that the Wings little dream of in
their ranks and if he will serve the big tariff the
same way it will be greatly increased. He seems to
be getting every day more and more out of the nfu-
of hard cider and nearer to his ancient principles
and if he should continue to improve, attach
ment for men or for parties is not ST ong enough to
prevent us from forgiving him for recommending the
$4,000 for Mrs. Harrison. At all events IL or Is
months hence will be time enough to determine who
shall be the candidate

And assuming the few cents per head which the
repeal of the limitation of the Distribution act would
give the citizens Of the United States to be all pure
gain them okther respective States, and assuming
the itself to be all which It's warmest advocates
can claim for it, has that act such prospect of long
life that II is worth while 10 stake the Tariff upon
that life On the contrary is not the total repeal OF
the act itself, by the next ngress, quite possible
event, considering the existing relations of political
parties
Finally, by striking this 18th section, by separa
ting the Tariff question from the Distribution question:
you render the Tariff bill simply measure of business
You withdraw it from all the bad influences of pohti
cal passion. Distribution is political question the
Tariff is not If there IS majority for repeating
the contingent suspension of the Distribution act be
it so but let there be separate legislation on
the subject Let not this repeal be fastened to
the Tariff. What the industrial interests of the
country most of all need tranquility, certainty sta
bility be delivered from the factous agtstions of
nolerant party spirit and aspiring personal ambitions
This the tariff interest attain, by cutting adrl
from the question of Distribution. That done, the
present becomes most suspicious moment for adjust
ing the Tariff on durable basis. For the necess-
ties Of the Government require high duties If this
adjustment be made political question, it cannot
stand but if it be stripped of all collateral matters,
if be sepal ated from this political question of the
public lands, and be arranged purely as business
question, it may he adjusted as to defy political
change and secure the support or acquiescence OF
great majority of the people of the United States.

THE VETO.

We lay before our readers this morning, the mes
sage of President Tyler, vetoing "the little tariff
bill, as it was Familiarity called His objections, it
will be seen, are, that the bill is in violation of the
Compromise act of 1888, and that provision of the
Distribution bill which obtained his signature to wit
that its operation should whenever there should
arise the necessity of increasing the duty imports
over twenty per cent ad vaorem.
The Federaists in Congress have deliberately
plotted this violation of the pghted faith of their
own statutory regulations, and that with view to
force the President from his principles and pledges
or to bring about Veto, which they secretly wished
giving them the chance of raising the cry of the
man power, and endeavoripg to throw on him the
odium of stopping the wheels of Government for
the want of revenue. But nobly has John Tyler
met the crisis The old Vrginian has adhered to his
pledges and principles, and stamped his name afresb
on the roll of Immortality Thus has another one

pies and policy of his followers in Congress received

Accordingly Distribution, as covering the whole
public domain, must be justified, upon considerations
of cxpediency.
AS a question of expedency, there has, it to
me- been extreme exaggeralion in this both
sides
1t is the misfortune of political controversy in this
country though, in another point of view, it is evil
dence of the comparative felicity of lot, that
questions like this, of mere pecunary expediency,
which may be decided either way without very Sc
riously affecting the public interests, should grow,
when seen through the magnifyng glasses of party,
into imaginary greatness and Fictitious consequence,
for time, and to be sincerely regarded by
many as questions of principle.
Look at the questions of dynasty, of form of gov
ernmen Of political or social revolution which
vulse other countries, and consider, whether it be
not quite idle to agitate country and to throw
away its internal peace and order question
relatively unmportant that of the disposition of
