BY LAST EVENINGS MaYE
ANOTHER VETO.

Inc voice OF tbs People, uttered by their imne
u'A'e Representatives, is again ,tiaeJ by the Exc
curve Veto. We give the Document below. and
nave neither time nor inclination for conm.n.. 4,
a'ows principles directly in the teeth of those which
tie Acting Presiisnt has often avoyed. and upon
the iii'h Of which he was elected bv the PeonIe Il
carries II stupidity or its knavsry 70 the poin, or
p'onouneins Distribution uncons:,utional-al.
'noush John Tyler has again and again recon
'ne"ued II rs the wises. and best policy the Go.
'efhmen' could adopt. This, however, is merely
personal 20 himself-and az he has already sunk
oe'o" contempt; any additional isnominy bs
may attach to his mama is a matter of no con.e.
qlence.
The main point in the Veto Of public concern is
The virtual assertion OF the RICH, on the par, of the
President TO control the entire legislation of the
country. The People shall no, frame laws to sui,
themselves, unless !, the President, am frs. upon
bended knees, entfeated to ae1uieseel They sb,ll
not hive even the poor privilege of choosing in wha,
mode they will tax themselves to support p,ofig,te
rulers without begging His Msjss:y's permission
his IS the long and the shor, Of this proceedins.
we must consent % take such laws as the meares,
man IN the confederacy, under the control of the
most malignant and mercenary eaLal tina, ever
cursed country, may dietate-or we shall have no
laws, and be compelled to pay such taxes as Exc
euiive tools may impose.
For what was the war OF the Revolt ou7-Why
did our fathers peril ;her all in resisting British op
preston through seven years. conflict, If this be
now our condition? Better have saved the blood
and treasure expended in tina, glorious contest, and
i'lowed the slavsh recommendations the Tore.
oy fastening 10 submit, afier the first outbreak,
than to mock their descendants with the sembance
Of freedom they did not achieve!
! We are not advised what course Consrsss pro
poses to pursue in the extraordinary eircums,.n
in which it is placed. No proceedings took
place in the House which would furnish clue
The Veto was merely read, and ordered 10 be
printed Tor consideration on some future day. II
we have not mistaken the character Of the true
Representatives Of the People, they never will con
sett to rob the States Of their dues to humor tn.
capriees OF this mos; contemplate officer, or sratf,
the malignant passions OF his keepers. If he wa,
alone concerned, Congress would, douLtless, ad
journ for,hwilh, and leave him TO carry on the Go
vernmsnt as he best could. They may even bt
driven to this course in despair OF being able L
frame bill-which. without being positively
detrimental to the pablic Interests may chancc
to hit his whims those of his masters.
The Message is couched in the egotisteal strair
Of MIR John Tyler-but emaua,ing from one
who has said and done whathe has, tits mocker,
of all candour and truth.
We should not be surprised, if this attempt q
the Executive TO dictate Revenue Law TO Con
gress, rouses the whole country, and brings ever,
man to the opinion of Mr. Bolts, that the Ex.cu
tive sulprit should be made an example cf, as tn
Patriots OF England made of CharesI.
