Bank TO BIO the great Wing to procure relief
aud yet The chairman Of the Committee of Mannfac-
lures had said that the Tariff was the great and sole
measure for relief Here additional proof Of
the difficulty To ascertain what were the prominent
principles OF the Wing party.
MIR. COLQUI'TT said that, ia has opinion, the prcs-
ent Tariff, under the COmprosnse act waald produce
higher than the vetoed bill, which, false 10
its caption was in fact act for PREDICTION directly
and for revenue incidentally. The President had
resolved on the veto for doubt thought sat
Mr.. c. knew nothing Of his motives, and
felt he had no more right suspect their integrity
than he had to suspect those Of the gentleman from
North Carolina, who had said he would have voted
against the bill. That gentleman would have voted
against it because he did not approve 1.-THE same
privilege certainly vested in the President by the
Constitution, and its exercise was obligatory on him
