EXECUTIVE UsURpATION.

The last veto will make the people pause. No,
so much on account Of the importance of the bill 10
the public service, because Of lis Details as for
dictate 10 the Representatives Of the People Reve-
nue. bill. This is the dangerous usurp1 tion, which
must give great alarm TO people jealous of their
rights and liberties. L. virtually involves the whole
taxing power. The President does not pretend TO
object to the bill on account Of its details-but be
cause 1t does not tax the people in the precise mode
IN which he prefers they should DO taxed. Some
oil the features Of the bill come in conflict with some
OF the views, which he says, he has frankly sub
miited to Congress-nnd therefore he is bound by
his conscience, and consistency to withhold his sane
ton. The scope OF this most extraordinary as
sumption cannot escape the simplest capacity. 1t
is in substance that il the Executive says, this or
that tex must be laid upon the people-however
Onerous and oppressive, il must be done, or he will
not sanction laws the most wholesome and necessa
ry to the public good. In q word, il amounts TO
claim of absolute legislative power in the Executive
for the minority Of 2-3ds in the decision Of which,
his Excellency is pleased TO inform Congress, he
would aequiesce, can rarely or never be obtained.
The taxing power has been held to pertain strict
y to the people or their immediate Representative
for centuries. Since the days Of Edward III. in En-
gland, the exercise Of this vital power TO freedom,
has been surrendered wiihou, dispute to the com
mons. Now md then, wicked and arbitrary mo
march has attempted to usuTp it-but the StunTts,
who made the only systematic effort, lost a head
and crown. In his country, the power is rescrv
ed to the people by express provision of the
Constitution, which declares that every revenue bill
shall originate in the popular branch OF Congress
with the immediate Representatives Of the people
coming from their midst, knowing their wants and
subject to the same burdens they impose upon 9th
ers. The Senate, representing the States, is not
even permitted TO introduce tax bill-so Jealous
were The trainers Of the Constitution Of this impor.
ton. power But Mr John Tyler--presuming upon
the conviction generally entertained Of his nsignif-
canoe, sets himself upto suLYer what the good, the
patriotic and the wise, for sgss, have deemed essen
till 10 the very existence Of free institution. lie
asserts that the Executive shall have an active a.
eency in toxing the pcope-and if they will not
consent TO tax Themselves, according 20 his wishes
he will tox them, as he Is now doing, without their
consent, and consequently, without authority o.
law.
The mischief which Mr. Tyler may effect, Il in
duged in the exercise Of this power, may be trivial
but il is the precedent. They who cone oflc
him, may lie more oblo, and as willing to do evil
and they will seize upon the preceden. ard employ
il TO the utter subverson Of the public liberty.
