And whereas the extraordinary fertility of the soil
OF Ireland and the industrious habits of the people,
together with the fact admitted by all-namely, the
enormous quantity of provisions annually exported to
England by Ireland justify in believing that there
must be some deep destroying agency at work that
produces the exhibition of an industrious people
starving In the midst of abundant productions Of
ny sort TIT for the use of man.
And whereas, we believe this dreadful state of
things arises from the absence Of the local legislation
of Ireland,
RESOLVED, That, while we yield to no class of our
fellow-citzens in admiration of the Constitution of
this country, and in sincere and resolute desire to
uphold It, yetwe cannot patiently look on and wit
ness the systematic determination of brave and pa
triotic people-a people whO in the darkest hours of
our own struggle, generously sympathised with US,
though enjoying, then, far, very far less liberty than
we enjoy at present
Resolved, That, we sympathsed with Mexico,
Greece, and Poland so are bound by dearer ties
to sympathse with the people of Ireland.
Resolued, That we continue this evening the adms-
sion of subscribers, and that we appeal to the friends
OF freedom to come forward on this occasion, that
we may tell the people of Ireland go in the peace
struggles that the citizens of this great Republic will
never desert them till their nationality is acknow-
lodged by the powers of the EARTH and it will give
America happiness to be the first to acknowledge Ire
land nation

SECOND VETO OF THE TARIFF BILL.
On Tuesday, the 9th instant President Tyler sent
to the House of Representatives his veto of the tariff
bill, recently passed by Congress. The document,
which we lay entire before readers this week. it
will be perceived is very able one, argumentative
and expressly to the point; and like all Of the former
messages of John Tyler, it shows judgment strict
ly independent, and the achy he dsapproves
of the present bill told in very lucid and straight
forward manner.
This veto, as have the former ones will afford a
subject for hot words and angry discussions in
the Capitol, and another opportunity of threatening
the President with impeachment. Among the
Wings, all the country, it will create the most
intense excitement and deep indignation and we
shall not be at all surprised if sympathy meetings be
Immediately called take into consideration their
present condition. and devise ways and means to ter
inmate the career of John Tyler, by bringing his
head to the block. Such course among the Wings,
in the present state of their feelings does not seem
at all improbable
Why has John Tyler vetoed this last tariff bill p
Because the bill contains two important subjects that
the first contained and which he could not sanction,
as being wholly ncongruous in their character, ia
tai to the interests of the merchant and manufacture
er, and upon which, as long as there exists such
conflict Of opinions as at present, would be nought
else but frebrands Of dssension among the different
parts Of the Union.
The Treasury is represented in very doleful
condition. and the President reasonably enough asks
it. at time like the present, it is right to give away
the proceeds of the public land Sales when they
stitute fund which, above all others, may be made
most useful in sustaining the public credit

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.

The New Orleans Tropic, Of the LIST
instant, says that an intellgen. gentleman
from the city OF Mexico, states that it is
currently reported and generally believed
there, that the basis Of the arrangement
between our Minister, Gen. Thompson,
and the Mexican Government, for the set
tlomcu, Of our claims on the latter, is the
prolTer on the part of Mexico to cede Cali
fornia TO the United States. II true, this
intelligence is Of the most important char
actor. The proposition will, if accoded to
bv our Government, thwart the ambitious
designs of Great Britain in that quarter
and give to us a firm fuothold at an inpor
tant point West of that almost boundlcss
region, the Oregon Territory. And tat
il is true, we may infer from the following
extract from the Presidents Message:
HE Mr.. Thompson has also been furnished
with other instructions to be followed by him IN
case tho Government of Mexico should net find
itself in condition to make present payment of
the amount of the awards, in specie or its equiv
aent"
The gentleman from whom the above
information is received, says that this pro-
posed arrangement is the true secret of
the departure of Santa Anna from Next
co. He is DESTROYS of keeping out of the
way until the popular Indignation has an
opportunity TO subside, or vent itself on
his iocum tenenS Gen. Bravo.
