The Veto, though looked for, IS astounding. Ihe
mutterings and threatenings had been heard IN The
distance, but the peal has broken with startling
effect nevertheless Those who have been hnger-
ing along in hopes Of seeing way open by
which they might earn an honest subsistence, Is
well as those who IN business, stand aghast at
the nenstrous audacty of this daring and bold de-
fiancc of the will of Congress, this contempt Tor
the Sovereignty of the People. Why is it How
dare Il man OF yesterday, sIo has not particle OF
the confidence Of either of the great parties OF
the country who is unestecmed and uncaed for, and
wields his rod OF iron o.er suffering people, by
an affecting dispcnsation of Hcaven how dare
such man put his foot upon the Laws OF his coun-
try and pirate of bis conscience! 1t is not Ignor-
apcc: for the voice of the People has sounded the
knowledge in his ears and within week he was
told, BY one in whose integrity he was bound TO
place reliance, that to sign thatbil would IN twcn-
tvfour hours time be 10 restore confidence 10 tic
land to restore business, TO elevate the country
from the melancholy depression into which DOUBT
and dstrust had plunged her. The age, expert
ence and standing of John Qaincy Adams were en-
titled to consideration in a matter of vast iTnpor-
,ance to the country, but his coun5els were con-
temned and the dictation OF a most reasonable
ruler hurls defiance at the People and insults them
through their representatives. 1t is a high-hand-
ed assumption which spreads alarm through our
business circles.
There is II perfect stugna,on in every thing, and
not particle of news of any sort stirring
Contrary to the general impression, | find our
State law of March, l341, renders the County lia-
bic for damages done BY the destruction of property
by mobs. The Locos from the County did attempt
to have that law expunged after the burning of
Z Ill ,b Il, 1F
it stands and the County foot the Dill for the
Hall, the Church, and other property destroyed
last week.
The discharged mechanics at our Navy Yard
were paid off yesterday for the months Of May
and June, and the balance is promised. They
have also the promise of building the steamer
Princeton, which will be most seasonabe help
to the poor fellows but it must be seen, | sup
pose, how the Veto operates.
A celorcd woman gave herself up yesterday as
an absconding slave from Maryland. Surprising
as it may SEEM it was really free, voluntary sur
render of herself duly made before Judge RaAdull
in the United States District Court, and home she
goes.
The Reading Railroad, which has just gone into
into successful operation, is doiRg large business
in the coal line Upward of 40 vessels are load
ing at the splendid depot of the Company on the
Delaware, where the arrangements are SO com
pete that clever-sized brig may be filed up in
half day. Their coal retails now at 50 25 "a
81 25 per ton.
