rVETO No. a,

Our readers are in possession Of Pre-.
sident TyIer's fourth VetO; and, we
doubt not, all Of .hem have perused it
with feelings Of deep notification
Among our acquaintance in this quar-
Ter, we have heard no citizen OF either
party express an opinion favorable to
the last veto. Ia fact, the frequent use
Of this extraordinary and an%ti'republican
preroeative by President Tyler, upon
grounds of mere exPediency, has render.
ed The Veto power most odious to the
great mass Of our rejecting citizens 1t
is now too obvious that, upon the mo.
mentous subjects Of the currency and
the Tariff, at least, John lyle! is deter
mined to control the peoples representa-
tives; & yield his assent to no legislation
except such as he shall himself dictate!
10 a word, Captain Tyler" will be
Caesar or nobody. With him the suffer.
Iiogs Of a depressed and almost broken
hearted people eeem not TO weigh a ioa'
Their. The great interests Of the Gov
eminent. The welfare and prosperity OF
its citizens-all, all are sacrificed by
the President to CRAFTY, as wO believe,
a ~puerile and contemplate hostility to
Congress. Such IS the position Of the
man whom we could once call "HOnesL
John Tyler" If that man had been
elevated to power by our Odversaries,
we could have endured his tyranny
with some little philosophy but, when
We remember that we the Wings
were his friends and the only authors oil
his present political existence, we must
confess his conduct is intolerabIe. But,
thanks to The Trainers Of our Govern
ment, If indeed they did make it posi-
bic, by the introduction Of the Veto pow.
or into the Constitution, for the Pfesl
dent to play the petty tyrOnt, by "reIu-

very clear that | can make no otic'aI
communication TO the remaining mem
bers, touching the questions you nave
suggested, or any other matter Of puo
lie interest. By the constitution Of Ohio
less than quorum cat sit for the pur
pose Of competing the attendance Of The
I,absent members, and whether there are
such absent members, is obviously a
question which the remaining members
Of each branch of the Legislature must

To. THE MEN WHO ELECTED GEN. HARRI-

EFelIOW. Citizens:
T~woyyears nave elapsed since
you were found engaged heart and soul
in the "mostarduous contest which ever
sgitaled this nation, since it assumed
the character Of anation in l776. The
spirit Of innovation had gradually crept
along, uulil our government had got
into the hands Of theIspOilsmen who we're
administering it not for the benefit Of
the governed, but for their wi agran'
~dizement; as they had publicly declared
"that to the victoTs belong the spoils."
You beheId men Of The most odiouS cha
racter, such as Swartwout, Price, and a
host of others, permitted to ]persevere
10 the system Of PlIloge, until saliated
when they decamped, carrying with
them the spoils Of Office, which they con
sidcrcd their natural rights. You saw
the finances and currency Of the country
deranged 10 the utmost, and every day
getting worse. You saw the dominant
party exultiug intheir might, regard
less Of the rights of The minority. You
saw that party exhibit the most perfect
system and arrangement, for the con
Iinuauce OF their power, that was ever
practiced by any party, in any country.
You law them eXultng in their
strength, and bidding defiance 10 oil op
position. Their plan was 10 "divide g.
conquer" This you know they did
by tho artifce Of arraying the poor
against the rich. the employed against
the employer, the borrower against the
lender, thereby destroying oil confidence
between man and man. This was el-
rected in the first place by the war on
the Bank Of the United States; and sub
sequontIy against oil banks ard corpo
r%ations. Thus you beheld your country
on the brink Of destruction; when by {
simultaneous effort yoI arose in YOU
sovereignty, and scattered their concOct
ed %yilluiny TO the winds, by the eleva-
ton Of Gen Harrison to the Presidency
who, by tho iuscrutable dispensations o
that Providence which u%phoidelh al
things, has been removed, when jus

HOLD THEM TO IL SKULK
ING.

The Loco(oco editors, orators and
leaders are already lodging the question
at issue between the two parties in the
Legislature. They seem TO know, as
if by instinct, that their unhoIy scheme
Of, gerrymandering will not bear lnVesti-
cation, and that The people will not sus'
lain them in their wicked attempt To-
uuIlify the act Of Congress, and to Sc
acre two.thirds Of the delegation in the
next House Of Representatives whilst
the Wings were in a majority of 10 or
20 900 III the State. They dare not go
to the people in an endeavor to Justify
tLat kind of legislation. Hence an ,ef.
fort is making 10 draw offpubIic attention
from the main subject in dispute, and OH.
gage in The discussion OF immaterial and
Indifferent matters. Our friends will
not be caught in that trap. Nobody
knew, uutIl after the resignation of the
Wings, that the Two Speakers had No.
slecied their duty in signing the appraiss.
ment act. 1t was announced In the
Statesman Of the 9Th inst, FRIDAY of
last week,) that The Oppraisement bill
was a law it was published in thatpaper
as SUCH nor was any thing known to
the contrary, until after the Wings had
lett their seats. Its failure TO become
a law, is alone to be attributed TO the cuH
pable negligence of The Loco Focos and
they may divide the responsibility
among themselves as they u find lit

err it would have passed the Senate ait
any rate; but if it would have command
ed the assent Of the majority Of that boz
dy, what excuse can be rendered by the
Loco FOcos, for its dIIatory progress
through the two Houses? Was 1t pre-
determined 10 hitch every other measure
before The Two Houses to the appOrtion-
ment bill, so that If that should fail, all
should share the same fate? Was chat
the design9 If it was, it has been sue
c~essful. And whose is the responsible
Fly? Was it supposed that the Wings
would DO deferred from saving the StGtO
from the AagItlous Gerrymaadering,
because II The session was terminated
suddenly, other objects might be defeat
ed? If any such hopes were entertained
it will have been seen how futile they
were. The great business Of the Extra
Session was the a%pporlionment OF the
State, Alter nearly three weeks Of bar

LATE ELECTIONS, In North Carolina
the Wings have elected their Governor

carried the Legislature. In Indiana The
parties slaad just about as they did last
year-the Legislature being tied on
