PRESIDENT TYLERlS XEIO.

fNESIDENl LER NElO.
The president, of the United States has been gain
called upon to exercise his veto power. The efforts
Of the political enemies of Mr.. Tyler have been from
the first directed TO placing him in embarrassing posi-.
tons 10 withdraw support and involve HIM IN diffi-
culties surrounded by whith he must act alone and
assume onerous responsibility, yield up every
thing to tie sway of an usuTping ,jorty. But they
soon discovered that the desertion of the very
who auded his abilities and presented him TO the peo-
pie fit 10 hold the rens OF power did not crush OF
daunt. Not rom motives of ambition, for the de-
sire of selfaggrandzenent, has the President taken
his stand. He has overw helmed bis opponents with
shame and confusion by carrying out to their utmost
extent, those professions and principles which schen
ing and selfish polticans assumed merely as cloak
to their sinister designs These falling to bend
the President their use, have rallied round the
standards of various political leaders, and combined
| together to hamper and harrass the Administration,
though in waging war against the President they con-
spirc against the Republic
The President has now been i'm pei by an mpe-
ratve sense of duty his Veto power for
third time The violation of the Compromise act by
the b II which originated in the Houss, Is justly re-
gaTded by the President dangerous and unJustlha-
ble He has shown that in certain contingency the
act Of 1888 may be continued as law leaving the
supposed chasm in the Revenue laws Just as 1t was
before" The Pre- ident acknowledges and feels the
emharrassments in which the unprlncIped and
selfish hostility of the national Legislature have
involved him, but lie will never recognise their
right or power to force him into giving his
sanction TO measure which his judgment does not
ju ,ify. Believing that the act of 1888 is imperative
he will do nothing to render It null and VOID Con
gress posse the power of making isons to meet
the pecunary exigencies of the Government without
enirenchng on tina, act--it they refuse to perform
the duty they their country theirs be the blame
and the penalty. The President says" do not
doubt that the necessities of the Government do re-
qure increase of the tariff of duties above twenty
per cent-and, as little doubt that above well as
below that rate, Congress may discriminate as to
give incidental protection to manufactur ny industry
thus to make the burdens which il is compelled to
impose upon the people for the purposes OF Govern
ment productive Of double benefit This the most
reasonable opponents of protective duties willing
to concede if we may Judge from the manifestations
of public opinion IN all quarters, this is all the manu-
featuring interests really require"
The President has announced his determined OPP
position The distribution OF the public lands pre-
sent and he ustifes himself by the soundest argu-
ments The maintenance of public faith is of para
mount importance to all ohei considerations-an the
desire of giving each state its pay share of the pro-
ceeds of the lands is not 10 be weighed in the balance
with II. The preservation of our credit is demanded
by honesty, patriotism, and even by selfinteest-
The stability and permanence of our Republic de-
ponds upon sustaining the General Government in
full and undimlDlshed power. Any measure which
tends TO weaken it should be crushed and stuffed the
very hour of its birth No man can lay claim to the
name Of patriot who would piostrate the power Of the
nation, by leaving the Treasury empty and unprovid-
ed FOL- for the sake of repenshng The Golfers Of lndi
vdual States The opposition of members Of Con
gress the views of the President does affect him
injuriously-it only brings out IN strong relief his
principles and resources, but 1t does affect tie people
They resent the hostility of par'isans 1t reacts up
on themselves Will the enemies of the President
MAINTAIN the unenvlable position they have taken 2
Will they dare sacrifice the people to subserye their
selfish ends A shorl period will suffice to answer
| this.
| The last act Of the President has raised him yet
| higher in general estimation. He has taken an i'm.
pregnable position, and he will remain firm on his
| ground He is enphatically without party but
| though he acts without the sanction Of party, be
does act without the sanction Of the people To
them he tacitly appeals and for their interest he acts
