man who shall attempt TO tarnish Its lustre-
Therefore,

BY J. A. Fletcher, Esq
Resolved That the late veto of John Tyler up
on the Provisional tariff BILL while il exctes deep
regret and calls forth the decided disapprobaion OF
every true Wing at the same time furnishes an occa
sion for hearty and sincere rejoicing that the mask
he has heretofore is thereby stripped OFT, and
that he has openly gone out from US, because ie is
not of US.
