FRAUD TEA.--By the last packet from this port

pound boxes Of imperial tea, the packages ALL appa-

ever on being opened, thought to be not full

the mark weighing it, by more than pound
Upon close examination it was found that small
portion of the lead at of the corners in the bot
tom of the box, torn and plug in the board Just
under the spot told of hole having been board there
through which the lost tea had made its escape
This discovery induced the merchant TO re-wegh the
whole lot and the result a loss of about pound
and half of tea each box, 81 pounds on the 25
being ~ per cent profit to the operator OF course
the fraud was committed after the tea had passed
through the custom house, and it remains for the
New York importer to account for it and make good
the loss to the Norfolk merchant pound and

| On the Presidents Veto Message to the House We'd
nesday last
MIR. II. commenced by remarking that there was
often crisis in the affairs of nation where the
ergy and independence of one redeemed and saved
it from the evil which it had fallen. He knew not
an occasion since he had been member in that hal,
watching the progress Of events, and the downwa ard
tendency Of this government, when he had felt
in the spirit of Offering thanksgiving than he did
now to the President, for the manly act which that
officer had performed. This veto had given the
friends of the bill (now returned and lying the
Speakers table, an opportunity to reflect upon--hc
would not say the madness of their course, but to
slider well before they again undertook to violate
compromise entered into between the contending In
dusry of the North and the almost expiring industry
of the South. 1t had been well said that the Govern
has nine years of the operation of tits
promise to the advantage of one of the contracting
parties. Now, after these long years have passed
away and the cup about to be handed to us, is to
be dashed from lips, and the sacred instrument of
compromise violated. But the President has arrested
the design which, without his interference, would
soon have been accomplished.
When this message should be spread upon the re-
cords of the House, testyng that the President has
had the energy and resolution to place himself be-
tween the action of Congress and the institutions OF
this country, and to the from the violence OF
the other it would hand do wn his character to ages
that are to after US. Let his conduct be what
it may in future, let his course be as it has been
heretofore this act has shown that he had the courage
and the energy to stand up between the institutions
of the country and its Congress.
What has he done 1t must be confessed that this
act preciptates the President into bold position.
In sending the bill to him. this Congress, said in eff
feet, "You must either make it a law or, you shall
make issue with us before the country, al time
of great dficuty-when the treasury is empty-our
foreign relat unsetted-aud the people quiverlng
under repeated excitement and embarrassments."
But he has taken his stand and the party now know
that if they carry this again, il will be vetoed
again, unless they can carry it by an overwhelming
majority in both Houses.
This act will place the President in the front rank
of the people. In that front he will remain; and,
while so, the people will sustain him.
He hoped there would be postponement of this
bill till tomorrow but that 1t would be now con-
sidered He wished to see who would still stand up
to the principles il contained. He wanted to know
who were willing to peril everything-epen their ocn
anutactues-for the sake of having a division Of the
spoils-the proceeds of the public lands
