The Veto, &c. in Congress.
Private Correspondence OF the Editor.


HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Aug. 10, 1872
Mr.. Adams has Just concluded an able and in
terestips speech upon the Veto Message. The gal
leries were thronged with anxious spectators, and
the members of the House crowded around him
No man exerts SO powerful an influence IN The
House as JOIN QUINcY ADAMS. 1t is salutary
influence, too. He meved 70 refer the subjec: to
Selec, Comraistee. The Veto, though generally an,
tcipated, has aroused deep feeling here. twill
for some time spread dismay throughout the Coun-
try. Wha. will Congress do now Is an inquiry
often made. answer, Congress 1cSH do 7iothane 8
in relation to Tariff this Session. only, because
it can do nothing 1t is fairly to be inferred from
the Veto Message, that Capt. Tyler would veto
the bill a.ai,,, with the Land clause stricken out.
At present he will approve no bill which gives Pro
lection to the Labor and Enterprise of the Coun-
try. His thoughts are bent on the succession,
and, looking Southern support, he Will turn MS
back uron the interests Of the North.
John Tyler has betrayed his friends and aban-
doned the interests of the Country. He has
thought proper to make an issue with the People
| trust they are prepared TO meet It, Congress
has redeemed its pledges to the PeoPle-it has ex
ered all its powers the restoration OF Prosperity
to the Country In the language Of Mr.. ADAM:
Joha Tyler could have given US Commerce, Trade
Prosperity and Honor, by approving the Iarlt
bill. He has paralyzed the action OF Congress
defeated all its measures-and blasted the hlgi
hopes of the People. Let those who are IN tav"'
of Free Trade and Direct Taxation, encourage
John Tyler in his new alliance with Loco-focoisn
Let those who arc in favor of Protection to Anne
rican Industry stand firm, and be not discouraged
Dependency will give way. The energy OF the
American People will overcome all obstacles, ane
their patriotism will teach John Tyler that Free
men are not yet prepared to submit TO Executive
dctation. Yours truly. NJ.

they rcere coupled together; and when law was

w.ss,ycros. Wednesday night, Angus; 10, 1872.
You will have seen the details of the doings "i
the House to-day in your regular reports -hf'
ADAMss Speech upon the Veto was mastery
effort but limited as it necessarily was BY the one
hour rule. it was but the mere tore-sAa3osing OF
what may be expected from him when, as Cna'r'
man sf the Select Committee. to whom tho Veto
Message was referred, he reports at length as he
will do tomorrow or nexs day
am glad to be able to inform YOU that notwith-
standing the dscoura.ements and batting reverSes
which have met the Wings in Congress at every
s,ep since they have come into power-notwith-
standing the resentment and disgust entertained
by all of them at the last act OF the President,
ANOTHER EFFORT WILL BE MADE To ACCOMPLISH
TIE PASSAGE OF A TARIFF. Three hours ago !
did no, believe it possible that such an OBJECT could
be effected; but steps have been taken tonight
sufficient TO convince me that a Tariff bin, tempo
rary probably. will be reported and passed, and
hope. signed. saving the lands to the States
and giving all the Protection which can be derived
from 90 per cent. upon the best plan OF valuation
that can be devised by the wise<t and most prac'
teal men here. This is not all the country needs
bu, i, is much better than nothing, and places US
in good position before the People.
Should majority of our friends agree TO tue
plan determined upon tonight in Committee, yoa
NAV expect bill to be introduced to-morroto, and
hurried through without delay. and SO soon as II Is
sent to the Pre- sidcnt it will be left with him tc
sign it or keep it, he plcascs, for Congress vii
not wal, day after the bill is placed in his hands
but ad ioufa at once.
If this course is pursued, all honor will be due
to our friends ia Congress, who, though bruised
arc not broken-baliled, but no, defeated buts'i
determined, while they maintain the principle o
independent legislation TO protect and defend TN
interests of the country to the uttermost.

For some tine past the small clique of Loco

NORTH CARoLIsA-We have few farther re-

there is use in giving them. The vote on the
Governor shows where the strength lies, in spite of
the extraordinary luck of our opponents in the Le-

yebbin= and the Democratic Review

The Morning Post (latc New Era) of yester-
day copies from the Phadelphia North American
paragraph in relation to the official Jobbing at
Washington by which the Democratic was so
| obectionablv nourished, and says
Had the North American looked at the Tribune atten-
lively, it would have that its charges against the Re
view amply retued by the editor me heview mas mas
never bad cent the Treasury if we understand the
matter"
Now it gives US no pleasure to allude to this
matter, but the Post compels US TO say that TINS
protested Correction is grossly incorrect. The
Tribune has contained nothing like what is here
stated Mr. O'Sullivap did indeed state that he
had no personal knowledge of the business opera
tions of his former partner Mr.. Langtrce, in
Washington, and that former Committee of Con-
gress had declared Mr.. Clerk Garlanda bargains
with that gentleman perfectly fair and regular.-
Whist does all this amount to Docs it at all con-
trovcrt the facts developed in Mr.. Lima late Re
port? Certainly not.
We were some time since Put in possession OF
other facts strongly corroborating those thus de-
veloped. We are assured that MIR. Langtree was
offered SIS OCO cash in hand for his Stationery con-
tract with. Mr.. Garland in behalf of Congress,
which he very naturally refused, as it was worth
$1,000 aud over Again, we are assured that
Job Of LithograPhy was given him by Mr.. Gar
land, which he sold out of hand to Clerk IN the
Public service (no li,hegrapher for 81 600 in cash.
who of course made 4 farther profit out OF the
Government and the actual photographer. Is this
according to Gunter7
But again Mr.. O'Sullivan, as proprietor OF the
Democratic Review, is now, if we are not misin-
formed the appointed Printer of the Decisions,
&C. of the Supreme Court of the United Slntes, at
price which withdraws large sum of money
annually from the National Treasury to sustain his
partisan periodical. He is no Priater, and OF
course EMPLOYS Printer to do the work, reserving
n liberal profit to himself. Against this, also, we
protest as an invasion of the just rights of actual
printers as a gouge on the Treasury There is no
chance in view, for him to make any money
fairly in this way. If the Government pays OILY a
fair price, the whole Of that price should go to the
man who does the work. 1t is only by an invasion
of the Just rights ofthe craft added to an imposition
on the Treasury that a alawyer-Editor can make a
profit between them.
These remarks made in all kindness to Mr..
| OSullivan whom respect and esteem. We
! blame him and have blamed him nothing in all
this matter. If public officers choose to employ
him to do job nf printing TYPOGRAPHY topur-
vey stationery, and he make profit by il, we
certainly cannot ask OF expect, as the world gees
that he will refuse. But those officers who rcsor,
to this method of sustaining partizan engine out
of the Public Treasury guilty of gross breach
of duty, involving most pernicious example, and
for this we denounce them.

night and seeing Strickland in the morning, or
dered him TO yield. He attempted to get away,
bur was instantly shot. The house was filed with
arms A slave stolen last August was found
short distance from the house. Thus, says the
Natchitoches Reporter, TWO of the most hard
ened wretches on the frontier have met their de-
serts at last. Tiger Jim last summer was one
of those who perpetrated so many atrocities in
Shelby and Harrison Counties, Texas. He then
barely escaped with his life, having been shot at
and wounded. Finding Texas TOO hot for him, he
came back to his old hauns this side of the Sa-
bine. Ii is to be hoped that the who'd gang will
now disappear. They have carried system
of plunder along the frontier for many years.
