The VETo OF TIE LITTLE TARIFF Built is
with much pleasur that lay before readers the
message of President Tyler returning the temporary
bill to Congress with his objections. That bi was
intended mea ure of double perfdy-perfdy as
regards the engagement contained in the Compromise
act, and perfdy regards the engagement contained
in the Distribution act By the Compromise bill the
feud between the Federal Government and South Ca
rolina was peacefully and amicaby seed by the
engagement in the Distribution act that should be
suspended whenever it became necessary to the
duties jmportations, the assent of Mr.. Tyler was
obtained to the bill The temporary tariff bill
attempt break faith in both respects, and we honor
the Chief Magistrate for promptly sending it back
with comments true, and In their truth SO necessa-
rly severe that its authors stung to the quick filled
the arches of the Capitol with the noise THEN impo-
tent rage.
1t is no answer to the charge of bad faith say that
it was but temporary dishonesty, that TO last
but thirty days Ii framed the bad beginning
of permanent measure it was designed as
the introduction to another BILL which, while 1t volat-
ed the Compromise act still more signally should re-
peal permanently the sautary clause in the Distri-
button bill Not having been able, III the course Of a
long session of seven months, To get such measure
through both Houses of Congress, the Wings desired
the expedent of provisional bill, which, fsanction-
ed by Mr. Tyler, would secure both the objects for
the present. and give hem the opportunity OF another
month to secure them permanently. He has declined,
fitting he should, to make himself party to
this wretched device.
What the majority in Congress will now do, we
shall not undertake to say. There some intima-
tons given by their speakers that the country has no
more to expect from them that they mean to give
their beneficial abors and go home If they do
this TIE country will be obliged to them. Whatever
may be the necessities of the treasury however drsira
bic 1t may be to reduce the general provisions of the
compromise act TO specific and certain regulations,
were better to leave the compromise to be executed
under instructions from the Treasury Department
Than to take any tariff which the present Congress
will give us. The majority friendly TO the appIi-
cation of the protective system in its highest degree
and should have no tariff from ther hands, which
would not essentially reduce the revenue by prohibi-
tory and oppressive duties
1t the saying of an experienced man of BUSH
ness in this city, tina, have good times while
Congress is in session All enterprises uncertain
while the collected wisdom OF the nation is legsatng
for the good of commerce. The watch never goes
well while the matchmaker is mendIng and altering
and patching The machinery. The sooner the men
who have SO long kept business in state OF embar-
EASEMENT and suspense, dispense to their homes the
better
In the mean time, while mpaien'ly waiting for that
event, the people have cause to ,bspk Mr. Tyler ter
the ACT of manly independence, by which II will 20
baby be fastened.
