nounced as knave, traitor or tyran, that no new

Every movement, on the part of the actous majority,
productive OF collision between the Legislature and
the Executive, rs viewed additional viDdicive

The leader of the party has said much of vacilIa
tion treachery and treason and the presses devoted
10 linn have improred SO asonlshngly upon his black
guardism that II would seem TO be impossible TO
lay any thing Of Mr. Tyler calculated TO excite ded-
sion or resentment. In truth, he has been black
guarded until blackguardism can be longer efec-
tve-and therefore the Federal pres has little moth
ng say against the veto The National Intelligent
Ger has, lndeei breaiheJ a few soft signs and
some gentle groans but the respectable papers of the
party do not feel disposed to follow its example.
We shall, of course, hear but few peas Of stage
thunder against the veto until the sma-ry of the
press feel themselves prompted by the contents Of the
Forthcoming report Of John Quincy Adams which is
to be sanctioned by the committee of thirteen raised
on his motion but the statements Of that report,
come when or how they may will be considered as
luchn fort he ALA of Mr.
Presidency, by influence and intrigue, bargain and
management" The hatred Of the President, on the
part of the abolitonist of the House Of Brainree,
can only originate in his love of Mr.. Cay-and that
love is based, no doubt, services performed and
not paid for because the line of safe precedents
broken by the election of General Jackson.
But little uproar can therefore be made about the
veto. The Federal press has lied until it could not
be believed were il to tell the truth the politicians
of that party are in the same predicament and Con-
gress has labored at the headng business until has
sunk almost to the depths Of nfamy The war of
the Federal party upon the President, carried by
sacrificing the great interests of the country and
ramplng the Constitution, has nearly prostra-
ted the party, that is longer able to arouse ma
tona feeling much less to control the national will
So long its leaders constitute ma ority in Con-
gress, (mlsrepresentng majority OF the people,
they may be capable of annoying the President but
whilst they gratifying their revenge, they will be
degrading and enfeeblmg themselves.
From the Boston Morning Post
THE TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN.
We notice that some journals are filling their col
umns with extravagant language OF euogy on the
treaty lately concluded between this country and
Great Britain, while other journals teeming
with denunciations of it. We shall do neither We
can hardly be SAID yet to have the whole ground
before US, upon which to form a correct opinion.
We must have the whole correspondence the sub
ject of the Caroline, and the Creole affar-no
abstract of itand the message of the President 10
the Senate" Then shall we be able to decide whe-
Their the interests and the honor of the country have
been maintained with proper spirit and fathlulness,
or whether they have been sacrificed somewhat to a
peace-loving disposition. One thing, however, is
clear-we have settled vexatious and almost inter-
mlnable controversy, upon one question, at least
We have, like two great nations conscious of strength
that neither feels like welding against the other,
laid it all side, and have submitted difficult
tes-those that threatened loudest-to reason. And
when consider the untold mseries of war
when remember that such an event, between two
such nations the United States and Great Britain
would be check to civilization baDe to COM
merce, stair upon the age, and suicidal for both
when reflect that after years upon years of hard
fighting the contest must have been closed precisely
in the manner in which it is now closed that IS that
it must have been terminated by negotiaton--we
cannot but feel disposed to look with leny upon a
conclusion that averts such calamity from our
homes We are half disposed to go with DIR. Frank

the subject. When we look upon the negoators of
both political partes-when such statesmen
as our Calhoun at the south, and Woodbury. at the
north, sustaining this treaty. cannot but feel that
in such hands the honor and interest OF the country
are safe. Without, then, touching the question whether
the treaty is good one might on part have
been obtained whether it is entirely satisfactory,
do not feel disposed to JON in denunciations against it,
or against those who concluded it, We hope both
Dcmoc ats and Wings will view the efforts so earn
esy made to prevent collision with the nation most
deeply connected with our own, Americans, not
partisans. Sure we are that no policy can be more
unwse than to carry partisan feelings into matters
connected with foreign relations Already, in
our short history, both of the great political parties
can furnish experience on this point and this not the
pleasant, albeit it may not be altogether profit
less IL rightly improved, such experience will be
quite sufficient. The lesson it teaches us, ques-
tons of foreign policy, is to present manly unbro-
ken front In this all can JON. A few years since
we had most gratifying testimony to this. As in the
case of the difficulties with Fance, so, if the
gency should arise, would be with any other power
the great American heart would beat responsive to
one feeling and would echo again, as of yore MIL
LIONS roR DEFENCE, BUT NOT A CENT FOR TRIBUTE.
Several of the northern papers have published
what is stated be the articles of the late Treaty
gotated in this city between the United States and
England The Treaty has not yet been published by
authority, have we learned that the injunction of
secresy has yet been removed by the Senate. We
have thought proper to withhold any thing from pub
LEGATION being the treaty. till, in or the other of
the above ways, it may automatically appear what the
Treaty is And feel the bound TO do this,
because there is no doubt that Executive commu-
nications were sent TO the Senate with the Treaty,
which may be necessary for its right understanding
and because also if general rumor is to be credited,
engagements, not embraced in the Treaty, yet ac-
companied it, and made essential parts of the general
resu of the negotiation.-.Nat. InteHigeneer.
