THE HEADING REPORT AND IT'S REBUKE.
The rapid succession in which we ha published
the views of the majority of the Special Commit
tee of the House of Representatives on the Veto
Message, the Protest and Report of the Honorable
r. w Gmer on the same subject, and though last
not least the views of Messrs lngersol of Pennsyl-
vana and Roosevelt, of New York, given to-day,
will enable our readers to examine and compare
these papers and judge for themselves of their ntrn
sic merits and of the patriotism which severay per-
yades them. Our own opinion shall be briefly but
plainly expressed. The paper presented by Mr..
Adams is in our Judgment compound of malignity
and demagogueism, IN proportions greater, and less
excusable, than any to which the old man eloquent
but reckless before gave the sanction of his
venerated name. The very first outbreak from the
disturbed cerebrum of the late 'Hos Professor of
Rhetoric in poetical vein where instead of APP
pauding Mr. Van Burens administration for attempt
ing to check the current of desolation which from
other causes, more than legislation had visited
people throughout the Union, the descendant of the
House of Braintree" raves like one demented, and
this too against administration and its extra
sion which he above all others sustained in the
of the some potcer," and of 'He purse and The
s,oord and aided in clothing the President, at that
session, with more power than any man on earth
ever possessed, with the exception of Napoleon since
| the days of the Roman Dictators.
IL is not true that "the sentence of suffering peo
pie had commanded change in the administration, -
| in the sense by Mr.. Adams charged though it was
true tnat tne were partly from tDelr
defect of national character in rushing into
| gagements beyond their means, but more from the
corrupt and heady schemes of desperate pecuniary
and political adventures whose prohigacy equal
led only by their artifce-whose talent at amassing
| riches, surpassed only by the adroitness with
which they inveigled whole nation to become bank
rupt, and then charged their niques upon those
whose best eXertions Used to stay the rum
| Having succeeded in making the nation bankrupt
these same arttcers of bankruptcy carried out their
schemes by passing bankrupt law, at The expense Of
the prudent Of the land, for the relief of those whom
they had ruined sort Of boon for having been their
dupes-a panacea for the wounds they had inflicted
| on commercial integrity and common fath between
man and man.
And now, because John Tyler will not suffer the
raPacity of these men to go farther-when the peo-
pie sustain him in his patriotic attempt to stem the
tide into which they who act without a why or
wherefore would sink him and his administration
why he is to be ostracised and the misrue of these
men supplant his wisdom Mr. Adams says, ''the
President who had called the meeting extra session.
of Congress, was no longer the President when the
Congress met" True, and they who conducted and
continued the orgies by which he was to have been
.headed,n resolved that his constitutional sue
should not be President either when Congress
met or at any time thereafter. They meant to usurp
the executive functions-they meant to rule without
a President in fact as they avowed there was none in
rank tile and this and this only, was and is the
of hostility to John Tyler and sautary legsla
ton under the pretence of abuse his part of his
constitutional perogative.
Mr.. Gilmer has given a calm, dispassonate, and
statesman-like view of the whole ground in dispute
and enforces his protest with facts and reasoning that
are unanswerabe.
The paper of Mr. lngersoll is one of the best ever
penned by that great lawyer and sturdy Democrat
and is invaluable for the novel and irrefragiable ar
gument which it advances in favor Of the indesruct-
BILE nature of our government.
We cannot close these structures without pointing
to the bitter spirit of denunciaon against the Pres
dent because of his first veto-hat of the Bill char
tering IT, s. Bank Denounced because he would
not give vitality and potency to corporation whose
precursor had proved to be the curse of the nation
the moving cause of all our woes. The entire report
OF Mr. Adams is repete with desire to perpet,Iate
power IN the hands of spectators, and for this pur
pose to seize upon the property of the people with
which to corrupt and then enslave them
