something about the probability of a VETO Of the
Tariff bill now proceed to redeem that promise.
But 1t may be we'll to add that do not vouch for
the accuracy OF the reports which in circulation
and to which feel myself ut liberty to alluded
give them TO you as hear them, but may state
that in this place. where there are so many persons
interested in finding out WIN, is going on, there is
generally cool deal OF truth in them.
RrroRr, then, says tina, the Presiden, will orn-
rAIsLr veto the Tariff bill, and believe no one
doubts it, Fora time j, said that he hesi,a,ed.
Some gentleman high in Office ventured 10 remon-
s,ratc with him, and by way Of presenting tie
strongest possible argument, they told him that the
veto OF the Provisional Tariff bill had been worth
one hundred thousand votes to MIR Clay, and that
the defeat oil the permanent Tariff bill, would at
once throw the whole Northern and Middle coun
try into the arm, Of Harry OF the West. This
appalling view OF the case staggered hm-hc he,i-
lated for time-but the hope Of conciliating the
Lccos decided him, and the bill is TO be vetoed.
Ii is said that MIR Wise rules him like a child

signed on IFS way to the House, Wise could make

ments. Members Of both houses look not 10 what
tho PREsIpEsr thuks, but to what MIR. WISE
thinks, and since MIR Wise said in the House that
no would have voted against the bill if he had be zen
present when 1t passed, TO one has doubted about
The veto. Understand tie President has said that

and means 10 "s,nnd the hazard o. the die" With
this view, all his hirelng presses have been taught
habtualy to abuse Congrels, and he has himself
undertaken to HAS on the pack by his own disgrace
ful letters. The plan Of the campaign seems to be
this: The Tariff hill is TO be vetoed nominally on
account Of the Distribution feature and then the
question is to be presented to Congress, whether
they will leave the Government without revenue,
or bow to the dic,ation OF the Executive? Let
Congress take what course it may, the Presiden,
and his minicns determined TO try ard turn its
action TO the advantage Of the Executive. !; Con-

Government-how is it possible for him to get

cd to the people. Thus Congress is TO be traduced,
and through its sides thrust is aimed ct MIR CLAY.
MIR Tyler, with that sort Of vanity which is common
to little minds thinks that all the action Of Con.
gress is intended TO circumvent him. cockroach
which casunlly occupies a Granny in the White
House, might almost as well suppose that the egs-
lation OF the Nation aimed at him. The idea is
ridiculous. No thinks of him except as
| an obstacle 10 the advancement OF the srei ,
interests OF the country. As to the notion OF
his being in any body's way for tie success
ion, there is silly enough (unless i,
be himselO TO cherish il for a moment. Even the
N. Y. Herald regards him as entirely out Of the
question, and announces that the contest is fast
| narrowing down to Clay and Van Buren,. What
interest then could Congress have in making war
upon him. In truth their policy is and has been 10

TO his whims, as they supposed them 10 be at FIRST

suit him. They asked his counsel and instructions
and prepared bill which they believed would sui,

conduct OF the Wings look like seeking a contro-

and of the country. They now see that the Pie
sdeni has been acting upon the principle Of the
rogue, who was the FIRST to raise the cry Of "stop
ihe thief" twas his interest TO quarrel with Con-
gross, to try and raise party out OF those who
were opposed to its legislation, aud forthwith he
raises the shout that Congress is trying TO "head
him." and all the changes rung on this charge
10y a thousand vena tongues and presses! The
people, however, now see tn, ough the trick, and
begin to appreciate the true state Of the case. The
Captains game has failed altogether. The Loeos
protested for a while to fall in with him, and he be-
gan TO think he had the world in a sling But

mistake. The Locos have used him now as long
as they wanted him, and il mistake no. the signs

occasion on which he will be cas-, aside by
portion Of them, like an old shoe. The veto will
probably developo another circumstance Of im>
poriance. The Calhoun branch Of the Loeos
have not yet perfected their party arrangements,
and hence they will be anxious TO avoid rup-
ture with Tyler. They want to keep back
