OUR COUNTRY.

The time appears to have arrived when men should
forget party and party strife and look to the interest
of their country. 1t is time for the people to open
their eyes and watch with Jealousy the movements of
their rulers 1t is time for the press to unshacke
itself from political warfare and stand out boldly in
defence of the general inter, SITS of this Republic.
Congress has been IN session-not quite year--and
done little or nothing but war with the President,
and talk about retrenchment and reform, until they
spend millions Of the peoples morey before they save
a thousand by retrenchment. The present Congress
has been nothing but the hot bed Of party strife, of
duels, gambling, horce-racing, &c. They have in
deed refused sufficient appropriation to the navy,
and the consequence is that several vessels ready
to be launched remain on the stocks, and our navy
yards are deserted, and hundreds thrown out of
employment and are now suffering for bread Our
navy no longer prosper, and nothing be done
to relieve the embarrassments of the country. Con-
gress will pass nothing that the President proposes
and the President differs with them in most of their
designs, and the people can expect nothing until they
come forward and speak in tones that will purge
their capitol from the reckless desperadoes that have
stamped national escutcheon with everlasting
disgrace. Let the people watch their rulers and
stand ready to defend their rights.

PRESIDENT TYLER's THIRD VEro.-As was ex-
pectcd, President Tyler has vetoed the temporary
Tariff Bill of Mr.. Fillmore. The principal objection
appears to be- that the BILL with the distribution pro-
viso, is in violation of the Compromise Act. He
argues that if the provisions of the Compromise Act
can be extended for temporary period, it can also
be extended so as to become permanent law the
Justice of which no could for moment advocate

PRESIDENT TYLER,

Can any one envy President Tyler his pre-
sent situation? He stands like an old Roman
facing the tremendous torrent Of opposition and
abuse poured out against him from all quarters
and especially from those who were instrument
tai in eevating him to power. Like an old oak
he will stand the fury of the blast. Conscious
of right, he acts consistently with his former
public life and declared principles. His posi-
ton, at the head Of this nation, is truly interest
ing. He is surrounded with ernbarrassments
and the most delicate cares and duties, and a
majority of Congress are endeavoring to plot
his overthrow and ruin To accomplish this
the character of the nation is sacrificed. Laws
have and are yet to be passed which all know
the President cannot approve, and thus mea-
sures of great national magnitude must be ar
rested. Congress, instead of legisaing for the
welfare of the nation, are connecting plans TO de-
stroy the authority of the President. But the
day of retribution is at hand. The people are
not idle spectators of the scene, and woe betdes
the present actors in the great drama.

ANOTHER VETO.


1t will be seen by our Washington correspondence
that President Tyler has vetoed the "lttle Tariff
billie Who is 'theaded" now? There was no earthly
necessity for this little bill. The only object of it
was to force the President to sanction principle
which he had before condemned. He promptly and
properly returned the trap ready set and baed as it
Was, without seeing fit to put his foot into it.
We have never doubted that he would veto the
bill, and have uniformly said so. What now be-
comes of all the oracular and authoritative predic-
tlons in some quarters that he ,rould not and in 9TH
that he dare not veto it? His objections to the
bill are, that it violates the compromise tariff
without making provisions for return of the land
revenues to the treasury. This is in accordance with
the ground which he has from the first steadily ard
firmly maintained Mr. VIM. Cost Johnson, true to
his promise, finding that the President not "head-
ed" resolved to behead himself, and did so on the
spot by proposing to intr duce bill for the assump-
ton of the State debts. This caps the climax of fol-
y and madness. fitting finale to such a worthy
effort
Well, gentlemen headers and trappers, what next?
Will you go on now and pass the big tariff bill with
the section repeating the proviso in the land bill
If so, you beforehand what will be its certain
fate.
