The extreme sensbility Just of the federal
whig press is really quite touching. Its plthos goes
to the heart while its wrath flashes and burns with
the intensity of friction Matches three boxes for two
cents. The ditto Veto, number A. OF the Tyler Sc
ries has elected mingled stream OF vntuous lndg-
nation eervescent patriotism and briny sorrow such

covered that there no Sundays when whiggery Is
offended As the Veto flies from place to place. flap
ping ts broad wings the federal dictionaries Is
almost doeful to hear the cries which mark its pro-

Of widespread hypocrisy-such barefaced effort to

cast the hocus-pocus of Harrsonsm, with its ''no

by their ingenious devices to have Veto pi''d upon

their nice arrangements and curious machinery the

This, then, is the attitude of the immaculate whg
party. They stand before the country false to the
pledge contained in the Distribution act-false to the
solemn premise made to gain the Presidents concur
