THE VETO AND THE ELECTIONS.

1t is gratifying coincidence to know that the
same breeze that brings its wings the cheering
news of the great Democratic trumphs in Illinois,
North Carolina and Indiana carries with il the Veto
OF the President against the unprnciped legislation
of desperate federal Congressman The people and
the President have spoken together against the unho-
y union of Tariff and Distribution, and it remains to
be seen whether reckless politicians dare to disregard
that emphatic expression of public opinion that
breaks like thunder-clap upon their ears.

PETTY SPITE-On the 2Sth ult. some persons at
Auburn, New York, gave vent to their indignation
against Captain Tyler, by hanging him in eiigy.-
They stretched rope across the street from the
top of four story buildings, from the centre Of
which was suspended efigy of the President
Such petty spite can do no injury to the man, while
it makes those whom it actuates appear very small
indeed.

THE VETO

IL Is our usual custom 10 give, in condensed form,
the substance OF long official documents; but we
have ielt that such reference to the fourth
Veto Message of President Tyler would be unjust
TO HIM, and probably unsatlsfa To reades.-
We therefore give It at length and ask for
iul and attentive perusal.
Every one will naturally ask, "W hat do you think
of " For ourselves, think II straig ht- or,a rd
manly and unanswerabe document as far as goes
just what might expect, indeed, from one who,
conscious of the recude of his purposes and fully
sensible OF the immense responsibility devolved upon
him. determines 10 do right 1T n haz irds even
though the iarrng and dscordant elements by which
he Is surrounded shall grow furious, and the
PROSTATE factions belch forth anathemas both loud
and deep. We rejoice to see, that neither the
denunca'lons OF denagoguys, nor hints of mpeach-
ment, nor anonymous letters threatening assassina
tion nor fearful results based upon false issues have
been made TO prevail against the ''well-considered
most deeply fixed and repeatedly declared opinions"
of the Executive in reference to this last and most
art'ully con'rived scheme of the Federal majority.
That the people will add their indignant rebuke to
the authors of that knavish piece OF ieg laon is al
ready sufficiently apparent from the thunder tones
that greet tiom the South and West There
where elections have been held in full view of the
present state of things the decision has been adverse
the schemes and conrivances of the allied factions
and is presumed that this circumstance VIII tend
soften the zeal OF those flaming patriots, la Bolts
who ready to shout "treason and rebellion"
upon the slightest petext, indeed without any pre-
text at all.
That Congress will retrace its steps sim
cere!y hope; and the subducd and formal inner in
which this last Veto was received, holds strong
grounds of encouragement
