The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-07-07
From the .Ns,o York Evening Post.

We have amused ourselves with looking al the pa
ragraphs in the principal Wing journals, occasioned
by the late Message Of Mr.. Tyler stating his obJec
tons to the Tariff bill. The anger, or at least The
show of anger is very great. The United states
Gazette thinks the Chief Magistrate deserves grea
deal of contempt for what he has done IL says:
" When those who now applaud the course oil M M
Tyler merely because that course Is injurious 10 te
Whlgs-when they shall have used the miserap''
man To all the advantage of which his place make
him capable, IL will then be seen by all thai wha' '
attempted to purchase by his course, Is denied ny
those who reoice in his act, and the wound inflicted
his bleeding country, will tester to his future mise
~. Contempt he will have earned, and no man o
| any party will refuse him his due.
The American thinks that Mr.. Tyler has pena'o'
very naughtiy in not doing as he was bid oy ION
giess. II thu, caiechises the dsobedent Chiet ma
gistrate who pert enough to have opinion oil Ills
own:
"Is the Executive to supervise the Legislature-to
conslrue their laws-lo nulfy at pleasure, ana on
assumed grounds Of expediency what they deem WISE
lust and proper What becomes OF the II nita'iohS
upon Executive authority 7"
What business has the President in the matter OF
bill from Congress 10 look beyond II TO ascertain 'n'
will of the people The House OF Representatives
and the Senate are me trustees who by the Consu,u
tion represent and pronounce mat VIII, an"
a unworthy and d'sorganisIng sentiment 70 NC
put forth by President that he may 90 INTO mar
rooms seivile newspapers, and Tyler meetings. 10 as
ment of Congress"
Ave, aye; What right has Mr.. Tyler to think for
HIMSELF Answer u that.
Toe Philadelphia North American predicts that lhe
Message will awaken general surprise ana con,
Germ" and the National In ellgencer, IN It's usual
measured phraseoogy, says;
"The sketch of the debates that arose In the House
OF Representatives on the reception oi tns III S'aso'
renders unnecessary for us to describe the sehsao
of surprise and something more than regret excited
10 niW IL,
the public generally will partake Nothing, certain
w. could have been unexpected To us .han 'na'
tns extreme power should be exercised by the Execu
i've in a case where such pains had been taken, py
amendment and qualification, to shape ihe Din 80 as 70
avoid the possibility of its encounterng the fate wAlch
1t has met with" ,
This Surprise and something more than regret
being interpreted in plain English, sig niies dspos
lion TO scod most vehemently.
The Baltimore American takes different view OIL
the matter. The Baltimore American Is not surpris-
ed. The Baltimore American wonders that any body
should be SO unreasonable as to be surprised. Inc
Baltimore American does not believe that any Douy Is
surprised II does not mean as 1t tells lis reauers 10
bestow a harsh Iebuke MIR. Tyler tor what ne mas
done. Ii only calls him capriclous person, tr'li-
mer man without fixed principles, petulent, VAIN
selfconceited morbidy suspicious, &c &c Iha'
is all. Take sample:
1--WE do not know that the veto OF the PROVISIONAL
Tariff BILL by the President, will Cause much surpi Use
in any quarter. Nor would the Executive sanction
of the bill have been productive of any wonder hen
caprice sways the waywaId mind, desire to trim
side another according TO the supposed drit
of party influence or popular tavor-Shen no hxcd
principles regaTdtd-sben the graiiication OF a
temporary npulse, or the attainment oil temporary
end, is sought after with the eagerness OF pelulen
temper and with blind lmpalience which cannot
look beyond the object Immediately IN view-when to
this disposition is added overweenng vanity which
ministers false ideas to pampeI self-cohcsit, giving 10
obsunacy the name of fitmness, and designating the
morbid suspicious OF jealousy as the quick perceptions
of sagacityunder such circumstances as these, 1t Is
quite of the question TO he astonished al any course
Of conduct winch character influenced may
choose tn pursue"
But the most remarkable part of the article in the
Baltimore print is the threat of dreadful vengeance
which the Wing party to take upon MIR. Tyler.
To punish him his OF the temporary tariff pll
he $ I've made sign bill for paying the State
debts out of the national Treasury. When Mr. Ty-
Ter has had little tine to digest the hard names
which are showered upon him by the Wing speakers
in Congress, and the Wing scrbblers for The lIess-
when his heart has been properly soened by such APP
pliances bill containing the substance of William
Cost Johnsons project for paying the State debs, is
be presented 10 HIN for his signature which he IS
expected to give of This will be the moment
of triumph for the Wings when lheI victim shall
have approved bill manifestly and outrageousy un
Constitutional and more Objectionable on the score OF
expediency than that which he has just sent back to
Congress. Read the outline of this project Of re-
venge, sci forth in the Bal imore American:
q We have therefore not word of harsh rebuke
to throw at the Executive head-not one of indignant
condo mnation. We rather feel refreshed and invgo-
rated with new hope at the fair prospects which now
open to view. Though the ship of State has seemed
to sway far ,T from the right course yet the next
tack will be likely to bring her over far on his side
as she has now run upon the other. 1t was said OF
Robin Hood and his merry men that 1t was always
safest TO fall in with them after they had achieved
some grea outrage for then they were disposed to ba-
lance the account current of their deeis by OF
generosity and grace quite signal the late offence
had been enormous In such view as this, we
exhort MIR. Cost johnson to 60 on promptly and
bring in his measure for the assumption of the State
debts by the General Government the basis OF the
public lands. So far from being discouraged al the
recent defeat of Distribution he may look upon that
event as promising forerunner of more ample sue
cess in the M st comprehensive undertaking which he
has pledged hmselfto enter upon.
The scheme is admirable one, certainly, and
does great credit the ingenuity of those who pro-
pose IL but candor obges TO say that II leaves a
little opening for failure Dit should happen that
Mr. Tyler refuses to sign this bill also, the scheme
falls to the ground; the Wings will bear the disgrace
of attempting to violate the Constitution, and Mr..
Tyler will carry off the honor of preventing the al
tempt We would suggest to the enterprising fra
mers of the project, whether tn difficulty does not
deserve to be considered before any thing is done.
