New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1842-08-19
mr. GIIner,s Report.

report OF the venerable ADAMS upon the latest
Veto Message of John Tyler. Ii embodies, in the
most compact and farcible shape, the great P re-
test of the American People against the usurpa-
ton and tyranny of their accidental Executive, and
demolishes utterly every pretext urged in lustih-
cation of his course Of conduct with especial refer
ence to the Revenue bill he has strangled in its
birth. We believe with the Intelligencer that
| this document will become the text book for the
whole army of Wings all over the Union, from
! which they can draw wholesome draughts of In
struction to the young, and confirmation to the Old
| in the principles which lie at the foundation of
this Government, and upon the continued mainte
nance of which in all their ancient power, its ex-
istence depends"
But our readers may wish to know something of
the counter Reports presented by the other mem
| bers of the Committee. We have as yet received
only that of THos. W. GILMER, the renouSed Vir-
gnia abstractionist; though another is to come
| from the man who would have been a Terry in the
days of the Revelution'-C. J. INGERsoLL. Mr..
| Gilmer' is twice as long as that cf Mr.. Adams.
/ The first part of it seeks TO show that the House
| had no right to appoint such Committee at all.
bill is returned with the Presidents objections it
shall be re-considered and although the appoint
rnent of a Committee is step of such
sideration, he maintains that the arguments of the
Report could be us well if not better presented
in debate.
After thus settling to his satisfaction that the
House had no right TO appoint such u Committee,
he proceeds to debate the general subject. He
first discusses the Veto power ontendng that
the President is branch OF the Legislative power,
and that he has rghiully and justifably exercised
his prerogatve in vetoing the several bills which
have been laid before him. He goes to review
the doings of the Extra and of the present SEES
sions with the clearness Of reasoning which dis
tingushes the class or politicians to which ne be-
longs he contends that the provision in the Lit
tie Tariff Bill of June 29th, saspendiRg the Dis
triburon, in fact the enactment cf dis
tribution law appended to the revenue bill! He
thinks it great mistake to suppose that there is
any issue between the President and Congress,
and insists that the issue j. between Congress and
the Country!
This is the substance Of his whole Report. 1t
i. mere repetition Of the shallow soplistry by
which the aHologists of treachery have sought 70
defend the grossest assumption of power, the most
undisgused contempt for the will Of the People,
| and the most alarming usurpation that have ever
been attempted since the formation Of the Govern
meat. 1t. is perfectly hollow and inconcusive
and can read it attentively and in the light
of the first principles of Republicanism without be-
ing more thoroughly impressed than before with
the conviction that John Tyler is selfish treach-
erous, usurping contemner OF the Peoples will.
The ENLARGED CANAL.-The Rochester Pos,
says that two fine packet boats have been bull, to
Fly between that City and Syracuse, suited to the
dimensions &C. Of the Enlarged Erie Canal. The
Post says that they are upwards Of 100 feetloag,
some rs or 80 feet longer than the present packets
and proportionably wideraa higher; are arranged
and finished every way for the comfort of all who
travel in them-and are carefully fixed to insure
thorough rentilation-a matter all important to
those who have to pass night on packets or rail
roads. They have each one hundred wide births
and, with settees &C., can comfortably accommo-
date $50 persons as well as the present packets
can sixty.

motives of this petty despot.
