THE VETO.

We are much gratified to witness the joy which
the of the veto message of the President
has diffussd among the great body OF the people
Every arrival of the mails from all quarters OF the
Union brings fresh proofs of satisfaction at the manly
and patriotic course pursued by the Executive
From close perusa of the public journals-from
the gene al tone and temper Of the pressa reaction
in the public mind has evidently set in The people,
having become disguised with Wing legislation, are
now beginning clearly to understand the obnoxious
policy of that dominant section of the House, and the
game they have been playing for the last seven months
in Congress. The design, the object the motive OF
its hardness in proonging debates in the House. with
view to innoculate the public mind with Wing doc
trnes, promu gated in prosy debates, and kept con-
stantly before the country solely for the purpose of
nominating President in lS44 is now Sufficiently
obvious to the community, and the masses are deter
mined to testify their dsapprobaton of this factous
course. In all the debates since the commencement
of the session. this crafty game of party but too
apparent and with want of generosity unparalleled
in the "wordy war" of politics. the Democratic Sec
ton of the House voted down whenever they
essayed to Join in the Debates unable to catch the eye
of "Mr. Speaker" in the House, "Mr. Chairman"

full chaplet" which he presented to Congress, as a
tribute to I" fair ladies ~ when making his valedic
tory.
The known and recorded sentiments of Mr.. Tyler,
the subject of distribution, would have deferred
less factous band of asprants from wasting the pub
lie time the public money and their reputation
in useless contest; but the President was to be
headed When consider the railroad speed with
which the Little Tariff bill was struggled through
the House, and the attempt to gag the Democratic
minority, so as to prevent them from giving their
views measure of such vital Importance, we can
not but chuckle at finding generous y opponents
trapped in their own net 1t is excellent to have a
giants strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like
giant so saith the proverb. The circumstances
which marked the passage of this measure through
the House, call for the anmadversion. The
course adop ed b, the wseacres of the Wing party,
after preparing in caucus their distribution pill for
the President, alike unmanly, ungenerous and
unjust, as ever marked the career OF desposm in an
country. The outpourlngs of the entire party had
but found sufficient vent the debate, when we find
the "Jupiter rnans" of the party the "ndeatgabe''

tempt made by the veriest dictator, with majority
at his back to stihe the voice of the people, the
freedom of debate; and yet this laid MIR. Fillmore is
the first to turn round and denounce what he calls
dlctation. But, thanks to President Tyler, he has
exercised his high functions, in manner the most
creditabe to himself and beneficial to the community
He well understa DIS that the faction who would
head him, would also run rampant over the heads Of

We have every reason, therefore, to elicitate our
selves, and the people of this immense Union the
