THE VETO

For our own part, we confess that we can but ex
press our satisfaction at the receipt of this able docu-
ment No true citizen could at this juncture, wish
10 see our country taxed exorLitany on most OF the
necessities OF life and at the time have so In-
portant part of national resource opped of by
the passage of the distribution clause. We say the
passage Of the distribution because it is most eectu-
ally annulled by the very bill which accompanies 1t,
and we cannot but wonder at the barefaced impru-
dence of any of men, who, after solemny passing
law SO important in its bearing the distribution
act to turn round within few months af,er It's pas
sage and ask the President to violate its most essen
tal provision, by giving his sanction y such bill as
the one in question. We pleased that, in he face
of angry denuncation the hand, and deceitful
Establishment on the other, President Tyler has had
the moral courage to fearessy discharge his duty
in the noble manner he has
In the mean time is somewhat amusing 10 look at
the writings of the Wing prints the receipt of the
Veto. Such of the Wing papers as are still recipi-
ens of Government patronage, C thunder very soft
ly, and are somewhat vague in their remarks, while
those that have had their loaf taken away utter most
sanguinary and ferocious growls. 'Traitor"-
knave"-"s impeton"-" renegade"-and in short
the whole catalogue of abuse is heaped with undis-
gused malignity upon the head of the President.

POPULAR EXCITEMENT.

The meetings in New York city in favor Of the
of the Presidents Veto is clear inti-
nation of the Wings that the whole body of the De-
mocrats beginning to show their hands in support
of MIR. Tylers policy. We take it for granted that
the Democratic party all over the Union, WILL in their
primary meetings. publicly commend his manly career,
in joining with the Democracy of the two Houses of
Congress against the Land and Tariff bill. We con-
fess that we are quite pleased to large num-
Der of the citizens of New York sending forth their
approval Of President Tyer's conduct in such
prompt and enthusiastic manner. Every Democratic
paper in the Union approves of the last Veo besides
many impartial prints that not governed by par
motives. It ia thought to be doubtful whether
the Wings will not leave Washington without pre-
senting simple Tariff bill to the President. They
to be welded to the Land question that they
cannot vote for Tariff alone. We had thought
that by this time they might begin to that their
policy not popular with the people, as almost every
mail brings them the of some great political de-
feat For ourselves we hardly think ofany act
that they could perform that would win for them the
support of the people. They have, during their pre-
sent session, exhausted the patience of The freemen
of the country with their numerous petty devices to
head the President. Yet in defiance of all their
movements, he has clearly kept ahead of them.

THE VETO MESSAGE.

Agreeably to promise, we lay before readers,
this week, President Tvler's Veto Message on the
Tax and Distribution bill. The reasons he assigns
for withholding his signature fair and conclusive,
sustained by arguments which will carry conviction
to every unprecedented mind We rejoice that upon
this occasion the President again evnces his firm adj
herence to the true and permanent interests of the
people The majority of he'present Con .ress APP
pear to be making efforts to bring ruin upon the
try. They knew the President could not sanction
this incongruous BILL connected it is with the Dis
tributon clause, which they stand pledged by their
own act to repeal the moment the duties imports
exceed the rate of 20 per cent-hat had for its
object to produce revenue to protect the manufactu
rer or benefit the country but to furnish political cap
ital for the great of 1914. The whole
try feels interested in having the Tariff question per-
manen,ly settled 1t behooves Congress, therefore,
nay the people demand it of them to pass immediate
ly Revenue bill, disconnected with Distribution,
with sufficient increase of duties to supply the wants
of Government Such bill, with judicious dis
crimation would afford ample protection to the man
ulactuer and command the acquiescence of the dife
rent conflicting interests of the Union TRANSLATED

THE VETO.


The President has given another evidence of his
adherence to principle in his Veto of the tariff bill
The Wings have been legisatng for weeks for the
purpose of obtaining it, and congratulate them that
for once they hare got ,chat they after.
A greater absurdity could not well be framed than
the tariff bill vetoed 1t combines taxation and
distribution in one act-taking from the poor with
one hand and giving to the rich'with the other-ds-
ributng the land money among the people, Indirect
ly, to each man in proportion to his property, and
taxing them, also Indirectly to supply the place OF
what they distribute not according to their ability to
pay, but the poor much the rich.
The President gives various substantial for
the course he has taken. But having on former
occasion, given his sanction to the principle of dis
tribution he could not avail himself of the strongest
argument that could be produced to support the
surc-that Of the utter unconstitutionay of distri
button in any form, and of its corruptng tendency
and general impol cy.
The Wings in Congress deserve the severest re-
probation for uniting two incongruous
tariff and distribution and making the fate o: the for
mer dependent upon the luck of the latter. They
have destroyed the living by claiming it to the dead
and the country will hold them responsible for their
folly,

VETO MESSAGE

As generally expected, the President has re-
fused to sign the tariff and distribution bill His
sons for 80 doing given his message to be found
IN another column. The Clay Wings passed the bill
ON purpose for Mr. Tyler TO veto, but 1t imposes
large additional taxes the people, and at the same
tine provides for the of several millions
ally Mr. Tyler refused sanction it, and large ma
jorty OF the tax payers will say that be did right Ev
erybody but the Clay politicians and the manufacture
10 whom the bill gives monopoes and corruption
lists who want TO handle the hand revenue-wiI say
that Tyler has done right. The people will say it is
1Orong to tax them TO put money in the Treasury to
be paid out 10 the States-irroag TO tax them any
more than Is necessary 10 raise sufficient revenue TO
carry on the Government in the most economical man
ner.
As for the Wing Congressman who have spent
weeks and months to obtain this veto and to embar-
lass he admnstI alton and create confusion and ds-
tress throughout the county, in order 10 make MT
Clay the next President, they wi have long ac-
count 10 settle with the county. The Democrats
have b. en- and are willing and anxious to pass tariff
bill which will afford all necessary revenue, and all
the protection Incidentally that just regard tor all
interests will allow, and the President repeats his
anxious desire to cooperate with Congress In The
passing Of law which, while it shall supply
Ing the wants of the Treasury, and reestabsh public
credit, shall afford I. the manufacturing interests OF
the country all the incidental protection they
quire."
The Wings are thus left without excuse. Their
only purpose has been to head" John Tyler,
make mschief-to carry out mere party schemes, and
those of the most obnoxious character IT they dare
do IT, they will adjourn without providing money tt
carry the Government Let them do it if they
dare. II is to be hoped that there sane Wings
enough with whom the Democrats can unite to pro-
vide for the Government before the adjournment, but
most Of the Wing Congressman have been afflicted
with madness SO long that cure is almost hopeless
We shall ere long whether they entirely heref
of reason.

VETO NO. 4.

John Tyler has again shown his independence and
devotion to long cherished Republican principles,
taught in the school of Virginian Democracy, and
which his brief connection with the coonskn Whig-
gerry could not Eradicate by ve'ong the Tariff, Rev
enue and Appropriation bill, imposed on him by the
ultra advocates Of Henry Clay, for the purpose of
keeping the financial interests Of the country in a
state Of agitation and uncertainty, and to make po-
cal capital for their idol out of the depressed condition
of business and the suerings of the laborng commu
nifty. This infexlble integrity of President Tyler
has secured him envable reputation, and if the
doctrine of special providence makes any part of the
religious creed of the Wings, they cannot fail TO see
that the elevation of John Tyler to the Presidency is
among the strongest evidences of its truth and ought
to be long hailed advent in the political history
of the United States, which has arrested the designs
Of the most desperate and dishonest political aspi-
rants, leagued with British money Lords and fund
holders This providential intelception Of the de-
signs of Federalism will give the people time to
trace their potcsI errors and restore the Government
to its original conservatory the Democracy of the
Union.

THE VETO.

The President has vetoed the Tariff bill, and thus
has not deceived The members Of either party. His
main objection to the bill founded on the impolicy
of connecting two bills together. The Wings, in or
der 10 compel John Tyler to be Inconsistent poIili-
clan whether he will not put provision in the Ia
riff BILL directing the proceeds arising from the sale OF
public lands to be distributed among The States, which
they knew ne was opposed to, and which had con-
necton whatever with The Tariff OF all measures,
that which has for its object the forcing of the Pres-
dent to recede from an established position without
conviction of error, is the 1t is legisatng for
good the people, but merely crafty the spleen
of party because he folled them in heme entail
upon the people the burden of another United States
Bank He so intimaes tibet he will sign Tariff
bill, leaving out the distribution clause We hope a
bill of the kind may be passed
