FORTUNATE DETECTION AND ARREST
OF MAIL ROBBERS.

Another discovery has occurred to warn de-
predators on the mail of the United States, that
no length or depth Of concealment, can afford
security against ultimate detection and punish
ment.
AS far back as February last, the Wheeling
mail, going Eastward, was robbed soon after
crossing the Maryland line; and now, after a
lapse of six months, special agents, MCHATToN
ane KENNEDY, acting under instructions from
the head Of the Department, have arrested the
chief robber Peyton r. Sides, the mail stage
driver at the time, and are on the trail Of some
Of his accompllces.
The agent found $3.50 in the pad of Sides
saddle--making the whole amount recovered
within a small fraction of S 200, principally in
Alabama Bank notes. The time which has in
tervened since the robbery, and the caution
practsed by felons in this case, serve again to
evince the prudence and sagacty of these
agents, and the usefulness of their services to
the Department and the public.

As to the "Tyler PARTY, it is going ahead-there
is no use of concealing H. From the very necessity
of the case this long ago predicted. Such bitter

had his audience of leave of the President on
Wednesday last, with whom he afterwards
dned on the same day; took his departure
from this city on Thursday morning in the cars
for Philadelphia, where he proposed to remain
for few days, when he will leave for England
in the ship of war the Warspite. We express,
as we believe, the universal sentiment of all our
fellow citizens who have had intercourse with
his Lordship, or enjoyed the pleasure of his
acquaintance during his sojourn among us on
his high and important mission, when we say
that he bears with him to his native land the
best wishes for health and happiness.

THE MADISONIAN-TH SABBATH.

Our Mondays paper invariably goes 10 press
Saturday evening, so that the Sabbath shall not
be desecrated in our office. The TREATY was
ratified on Saturday night, after our paper was
printed which accounts for the absence of the
announcement in the Madisonian yesterday.
The PRESIDENT furnished us with the result as
soon as it was communicated to him by the Sc
nate, and we regret extremely that we should
be behind our contemporaries IN the annuncla-
ton of matter so important, and which should
naturally be promulgated in an official manner.
The account of the arrival of the Britannia like
wise reached this city on the Sabbath, and
though bringing no news, yet the occurrence is
registered in the journals which observe Z" nc
day of restn Now, these omissions in our pa
and pain to us, if our practice Tin observing The
Sabbaih) was not in accordance with the die
tates OF our conscience. We believe that all
such sacrifices will not be attended with ulti-
mate loss. The Intelligencer may add this to
the g new creed" if it peases
There is one thing, however, connected with
this subject, which it becomes proper for us TO
mention, inasmuch as remedy must be ap-
piled. Many of the heads of bureaus in the
Departments being hostile to the President, and
in the interest of the Intelligencer, the Chief
Magistrate of our country is almost daily in
suited and de6ed by means of premature an
nouncements, and anticipatory official intei

editors of venal journal, which INDUCES daily

sures of any Executive, when see that such mea-
sures correct and honest. The President should
be sustained when he is right-to oppose him merely
for factious purpose is crime TO the country, and
an insult to the People, whose sovereign fla, made
him their ruler.
There are and can be but two great parties-the
Democratic and the Federal-call them by what
name you will To the first always have, and ever
shall belong and by its action, as manifested through

NJ. DE Marines LEAVE OF THE
PRESIDENT.

NJ de MARITIME, the late Charge d'Affiires OF
the Netherlands, on taking leave of the Presi-
dent, previous to his departure for the new post
to which he has been appointed, made the fol-
lowing address;
Mr. president: Having been recalled by the
King, my master, from the functions of his Charge
dAfaes near the United States, to 90 in the sane
capacity to the court of Denmark, avail myself OF
this audience of leave, which your Excelency has al
lowed me, to testify openly the gratitude with which
am penetrated for all the proofs of good will, regard
and confidence have had the honor to receive in the
nine years have been accredited Charge Af1ares
of the Netherlands, in this country, FROM all who
during that long period, have been charged, in sue
cession with the Government of this Republic, and
also of late from your Excelency, well in gene
raj from all the authorities and citizens of the Union,
with which was brought in official social inter-
course
OF this shall preserve all my life an agreeable re-
membrance and the more So if have been SO happy
as to deserve your Exceency's appreciation as fiat
ter myself to have done of your predecessors.
am ordered at the time to say that his MaJes-
y aters himself and does not doubt that the selection
of the successor he has given me at Washington, IN
the Chevaller Gevers, and who will shortly arrive
will be agreeable your Excelency trusting that he
will endeavor cultivate and to preserve, as Till now
the SO favoraby existing diplomatic and friendly rela
tons between the two countries.
There only remains to me- Mr.. President, to offer
to you the homage of my high respect and my best
wishes well for the prosperity of this country as for
your own and for all those who dear to you.
To which the President replied, 10 substance,
that he learned with regret M. de Marines de-
parture tina, his conduct and character, during
the long period which he had remained here as
the Representative of his Majesty the King OF
the Netherlands, had acquired for him the re-
spect and esteem of all those who had occasion
to know him, and the constant appreciation of
the Executive
The President also expressed the strong de-
sire, which animated him, to preserve the most
friendly relation, with the King of the Neither
lands, and the qualification with which he learn
ed that successor to M. de MARITIME was ex-
nected soon to arrive

THE VOTE ON THE TREATY.

We stated in our last that it was supposed
three Democrats and four ultra Wings would
vote against the Treaty. We were in error
The suppositon was predicated on the hostility
of the Globe and General Scott We thought
surely that inasmuch as the General aspfed to
the Presidency, he would not exert his influence
without an assurance that he could control
more than one vote. The vote was YEAS 49,,
NAYs9 We trust the Globe will have nothing
more to say against the Treaty.

THE VETO.

On the first page Of to-day's paper will be found
the Presidents objections TO the Tariff and Dstrbu-
ton BILL to which we briefly alluded in our last pa
per. II is document that must carry with it con-
victon to the mind of every man that the ,ecutive
is right in the he has taken in reference to the
bill. We hazard nothing in saying, that on its final
passage through both Houses not man who voted
for it expected that 1t would become law Ii was
in every respect similar to the bill returned few
weeks since, accompanied by the most conclusive
reasons for its rejection, and notwth standing this,
the majority, with determination to HEAD" the
President or leave the Government without revenue,
pass il and ask the President mot to sign it, for they
knew he could mott to IT. with the hope that it
would destroy him In this they have found them
selves most sadly disappointed. The manner in
which the veto has been received every where is
evidence that il is approval by large majority of
the people. 1t is well known that the Executive is
anxious that Congress should pass liberal Tariff bill.
In letter 10 his friends IN Philadelphia he says -
Most gladly would approve of any bill having re-
venue TOR IFS object and the protection OF manutac-
turing interests its incident, which should be pre-
sented to unconnected with matters having no
necessary utilization, and which only calculated
to embarrass Executive action This Is all any rea-
sonable man can ask and the failure of Congress TO
pass such bill will prove, what IS now more than
suspected, that the question IS to be kept open Tor
electioneering purposes
If the measure for distributing the proceeds of the
public lands among the States is popular one why
not mass il on It's own merits, II distribution takes
place while the Treasury Is IN It's present condition,
resort must be had to direct taxation in order to raise
means to defray the ordinary expenses Of the Gov
eminent, and when this is brought about the people
will speak to their public servants in language not
to be misunderstood. The President, 30 far a. he
avert it, will suffer this measure to become
a law until there is a surplus in the Ireasury-he
will not consent that the people shall be taxed so
long the land fund Is available, ana can be used TO
help the Government out Of Its pecunIary difficulties
There is time enough for distribution when we get
out of debt " BE Just before you are generous
should be the motto of nations well individuals

THE VETO.

1t is with qualification that we have no desire to
conceal, that we are enabled to present readers
with Veto on the mongrel Tariff Bill. This is the
fourth time President Tyler has appealed from Con-
gress to the decision of the People but in instance
has he done with better assurance of the success
of his appeal and certainly not with ability and
force of reasoning We look upon this as the ablest
Of his vetoes His positions sustained through
out by the clearest arguments and facts and no man
can arise from its perusa and not be satisfied in his
own mind, that the President is honest in his views
and right in maintaining them.-.Nonoich IN ~
