President Tyler has vetoed the "twelve line Tarf
BILL and his messaget To Congress assigning his rea-
therefor will be found ia another column of to-
days Star Could he have done otherwise than veto
such a biz Certainly not And we have not The
least doubt bur that the Wings themselves expected
Just such result know ny full well that the resident
opposed to The distribution of the proceeds OF the
public lands in tie present depressed conhi'on OF Inc
country. The bull proposed t. coniinue the exlsung
revenue laws in force until Angus, with a pToviso To
allow The distribution of the anI money even should
the duties exceed 20 per centum This proviso rem
dered the bill Objectionable and the President having
no other alternative, rightly vetoed IT, In doing 3d.
he put Used the great consii utionai Safeguard WIN
which he has been wisely clothed that he might cheek
the hasty aud mpolitic legislation of Congress. The
plot OF The conspiring majority to force Mr.. ly-
Ter to sanction distribution or compel him 90 against
the Tariff bill He did the latter, and the nation will
commend him for it. Mr.. Tyler (and every one
else) believes Tariff for necessary, and he
thinks legislation upon it imperative. Ii the Wings
in Congress be ly sincere in their desire t. settle
the Tariff question, why do they not make it the true
issue, and boldly march up TO the naked question In
the spirit Of genuine patriotism Why attempt TO
clog it with the question of Distribution Why not
let each stand fall upon It's relative merits
This is what spirit of public good, i: seems to us,
would dictate. Let the majority, in the adjustment OF
these great questions, forget the triumph OF party
for The good of the country and they would then win
back from the people the regard and confidence which
they lost after coming into power Lot them
cease their attacks upon the Presdent-ground their
weapons of offensive warfare against him whom
their votes placed in power,-leave Mr. Clay
to make out his own case before the people,
and the promised " better times" may yet
overtake country in her downward road to ruin.
The Wings should now be satisfied that they cannot
" head off" Captain Tyler, failing as they have in
three sanguinary conflicts to accomplish it. Let
them cease their efforts at Presdent-making, and
spend the remnant of their political existence in max
ing proper for first dupng the people and
then becoming dupes themselves The Wing party
the great Wing party"-has fallen by its own
hands, and, Roman-like, John Tyler sits unmoved
amidst it's ruins.
