MORE ATTEMPTS TO "HEAD OFF"
There are certain factous men 10 Congress who,
like Hanan of old, cannot rest So long as they see
MordecaI sitting at the kings gate; in other words
So long as they see honest John Tyler occupying The
Presidential chair. The whole study of their lives
appears to be how they shall manage to get hn
hanged. They have had him, they thought on
The very point Of swinging of several tunes; but
somehow other the rope breaks, the moose dom fit
the scafold tulnbes upon those who who built 1t or
some other unlueky mishap upsepts al their calcutta
IONS leaving heir intended victim to 90 on calmly
ia The discharge Of his high duties just if nothing
had happened These modern Hanans have erected
another gallows "fifly cuht. high" for the Presi-
dent, and we confidently predict that it i'll not be
many days before they themselves will be kicking
| and dangling on 1t like their great original.
We alluded several days ago to the Trick by which
it was intended to force the President into the APP
pIoval of the land distribution and a high tariff by
lacking section to the tariff repeating the provI
In the distribution law, which directs the proceeds
of the lands TO revert 10 the national treasury, when
ever the tariff should be raised to than twenty
per cent ad paiorem, A new knk has got in
to heir heads. 1t is said that the compromise &C, is
50 worded that without further legislation there will
be no duties whatever coIleciable imported goods
after the 30h inst. in which case the whole revenue
OF the Government will be cut off.
The project now is to hold IN terrorem the
head of Mr. Tyler the idea that he is to be left with
out any money to carry on the Governs. ent unless
he signs bill postponing the operation ofthe Com
promise act and to this bill is also attached snee-
ing little section repeating the provso IN the Dstnbu-
ton law
Now do those members ofCongress suppose that the
American people blind and stupid as not To see
through this miserable piece opolca juggling! liso,
they will find themselves mos, grievously mistaken
Should the revenue be off and the wheels of Gov
eminent be stopped under such circumstances, the
people well understand upon whom the responsibility
should fall.
Again we caution those f,ctous intuguers to be-
ware of strangulatiou on their own gaows. We do
but echo widespread and rapidly increasing public
opinion when say that Congress ever possessed
little strength respect among the people as the
present Let them carry out this scheme of borrow
ing money the credit of the nation to distribute
among the States-for It is nothing nor css than
lhis--and they will inevitably sink tn themselves to a
lower depth than they have yet found while, on the
other hand the President, by vetoing it, he surely
will and hus doing right, regardless OF consequences,
will raise himself still higher in the estimation OF the
public He will have good reason to thank his per-
sccutors for driving him to this extremity.
