FOURTH yETo MESSAGE.

10 preceding columns we have given the
fourth Veto Message of President Tyler.
This is certainly one Of the mos, remarka.
Bile eras of our government and the presi-
dent seems as fond of handling the Veto
Power as a child its toys. One Of the
causes, as stated in the Declaration of In
dependence, for our foreiaihers resisting
King George Ill. was, that he withheld
his sanction from the passage of good and
wholesome laws--well, are the people of
this country willing at this early stage Of
the Government that the President should
set up his ipsi DIRT as the law Of the
land. In the argument Of the two last
Veios the whole force of the President is
laid on his having given to Congress his
opinions and therefore in his view they
should have coniormed 10 them--is the
people ready for this. The Charleston
Courier 10 noticing the Veto says;
President Tyler has again ven,urcd
to veto revenue bill, passed BY the Re-
representatives. OF the people, and 10 put in
jeopardy the entire pecuniary resources
Of the Government. he has assumed a
fearful responsibility, aud we trust that
be will be permitted TO bear il, in foil
weight and pressure, unalded and alone, on
his Atlantic shoulders. His high hand.

spurned with Indignation and scorn, and,
as he has seized On the purse Of The ia

supplies to administer the government BY
means Of his own unconstitutional oxac.
lion. II the King will rule without Par.
lament, aud viii have his ship-money, be
il so-bui The day of reckoning must come
ere long, aud the account may be fearful
one. II is too manifest to be- disguised
that the President is seeking TO convert
Congress inio a mere Parliament Of Paris
TO register has cdicts, and carry out his
will and it concerns republican principles
and liberty that he should be met with un.
compromising resistance b. the represen-
la,ives of the people. His message is on
insolent lecture TO Congress that knowing
his will in advance, they should have dar-
ed TO disregard it; and seems TO import
that the expression Of the opinion of the
Executive, on matters Of public interest,
renders legislative conformity duty, and
non-eonformity treason. Such doctrine
and such a temper should be met in a
proper spirit BY the insu'ted legislature.

UNION AND pERsEyERANCE.

The result Of the Election in North Car
DINA, terminating as il has done, more ia-
yorably for the Destruciives than either

was elevated by the Wings to power, We
toed the Bank Bills, that Gen. Harrison,
if he had lived would have done the same.
In looking over some old papers the 9TH

Gen. Harrison's Greenville speech. Gu
rioeity led us 10 examine it and from il we
take the following extract:
+" But | have been denounced as bank
