BY The late arrival from Liverpool, we
perceive that the leading Tory papers
in London, Che Times, Standard &c.)
have come out vigorously 10 defence oil

denUncialion of the whole Wing pelicy
in Congress, including The Tariff, which
they condemn in The same language as
the MadIsoOian, the Evening Post, the
Charleston Courier, the Washington
Globe, the Richmond Enquirer, and all
the Tory loco papers in the nation.
The London Times is also very ami.
mated 10 defence Of the Veto power, a.
galnst the attacks Of Adems and Clay.

The Times, of September 90, thus

at is scarcely possible to read with

the report Of Mr., Adams and the Com

on the last exercise OF the Veto power
by The President Of the United States,
whose protest against this report will b.
found in another part oil our paper. VI
y n n 1t is alleged 10 be- a part
of the American constitution that the
wishes and opinions Of the President
ought to have no influence on the delIb
e%rations Of Congress. The Cabinet is
not represented by its W members 10
the House of Representatives and the
President who is in fact the Prime Min.
lister OF the country, being responsible
to the nation Tor the policy to which he
lends his authority, has none Of the sup
port which the eIoquence or Par'iamen
iary tactics OF an abe Minister in other
countries gives to an administration -
Stripped oil tho influence which as we
conceive oaght to belong TO the head of
a Government in the Legislature. the
President is obliged to maintain his
ground as best he may by tho exercise
Of his %prerogatlVe out of it and against
it. Unable to carry his own measures
in Congress, no may nevertheless re
fuse TO sign and execute the measu res
which Congress may send up to him.
and bv these means the two powers Of
the State are e%xer,ed only TO negative
and nuIlify each other's acts. The res.
olulion recommended by Mr.. Adams's
committee would of course terminate
this difficulty, by making the President
the mere servant Of the majority in
Congress for the time being, and by in.
v%esllng that Assembly with the real FIX
eculive power. 1t is not surprising that
such a change in the Constitution is ad'
vocated by the Democratic party, for IL
is 10 the nature of the (retiuI and short
sighted principles Of their political creed
to sweep away every impeachment which
prudence and tradition may have placed
in their way. Nor does it appear to
have crossed the mind Of Mr.. Adams
that the maintenance Of the Presidential
power is Of immeasurably more impor'
lance to the existence of he political IN
stitution Of the United States, than the
removal Of any temporary obstacle 10
