y late EaglIsh tory paper contains
a long article on the difficulties in
Rhode Island. 1t says the bad princi-
plec of the other States are creeping
INTO Rhode Island, which has the best
organic law of any State in the I'M
ION. ard the best regulated govern
ment. The English tories are some
what alarmed at the danger in which
the only rcmnant of the British Gov
ernment in ,..is country, is at presen,
exposed. 1t is pleasing to read the
high encomiums of the English press
upon the Rhode Island charter, in con.
nect,on with their sneers at the prin.
ciplcs Of the free Constitutions of the
States, by which the "rabhle" have a
voice in elections. &c. We can per.
ceive butIittle difference, however in
the spirit of the English newspapers
in regard to this subject, and the

The VETo.-As was anticipated, the
President has vetoed the so called tariff
bill. The reasons he assigns are such as
every unprecedented mind must acknowl-
edge to be both forcible and Just. He
says "the bill urites two objects, which,
so far from having any affinity TO one
another, are wholly incongruous in their
character. 1t is both a revenue and an
appropriation bill" and "while the Trea-
sury is in a state Of extreme embarrass-
ment, requiring every dollar which it
can make available, and when tie &C.
vernnent has not only 70 lay additional
taxes, but TO borrow money to meet
pressing demands, the bill proposes tC
give away a fruitful source of Revenue
which is the same thing as raising money
by loan and taxation-not TO meet Tie
wants of the Government, but for distri,
button; a measure which must regard
as highly imPolitic, if not ~unconstitu.
tional." If Congress is sincere in it
wishes to serve the people, let it sepa'
rate this obnoxious distribution clause
from the bill, and we doubt not but the
President will be prompt in his approva
oft.

Cure for Consumption.

A writer in the Journal of Commerce

the curious and interesting fact that the
atmosphere Of the famous Mammoth
cave, in Kentucky, has qualities of the
highest efficacy for diseased lungs. DR..

Of consumption, and who was himself.
reduced TO a hopeless condition by the
same disease, believing that there were
restorative properties in the air Of the
cave, resolved to make it his residence
fJr a season.; and about the last Of April
he established his quarters near the Star
chamber, about a mile from the entrance,
whence he emerged for the first time at
the close of June. His health and
strength were SO far restored that he
rode eighteen miles on horseback. He
SAYS that in a week from the time of go
ing into the cave, his cough was entirely
gone and that his appetite and strength
increased daily. He felt lonely for the
first week, but soon became reconciled
10 his solitude, and now would rather
live in the cave than elsewhere. We
extract the following passages from the
article in the Journal-
