PUBLIC sENrIMENr.

The Wing sentiment, as expressed through the
Press, s uniform and unbroken, in relation TO the
late arbitrary exercise the Veto. From the East,
West, North and South but one voice il heard, and
that IN stern condemnation Of tho Veto Of Revenue
BOf. and OF the grossly unconstitutional assum ption
by Mr Tyler that the Executive is branch of the
Legislature. With equal unanimiiy we rejoice To
sos u; the Wing Press insist that the Representa-
lives Of the people shall bet6ay the public liber-
~ by Submitting to the usurpalionS OF the Execu.

Equally decided and to the point, is the tone of
the Charleston Courier. Most happy are we TO

TIE VETO.
President Tyler has again v.nturei a
b passed 10y the Representatives Of the people, AMI
Put in jeopardy the entire p"cuniary OF the Co
vernmen lie has assumed fearful responsibility, and
We trust that he will be permitted full weight
and pressure, unadcd and alone his Atlantic shout
ders His hsh.Landed effort bend Congress in scrvile
submission To his sovereign IN should be spurned with
indignation and scorn, and he has seized purse
OF the nation he should be m without further supplies
administer the 10y Of his own uneonst
tnhonal eHaeton. II the King will rule without Parlia-
meni and will have his ship money, bc so-but the day
OF reckoning must long, account may bc
fearful one. L. Is too manifest be disguised that
President Is seeking 10 Congress into mere Par
lament OF Paris TO register his edic carry hls
viii; and II concerns rcpublca principle snd public bcr
ty that he should be with Incorporating resistance
blythe representatives Of the people Ills message is an
lnsoen lecture TO Congress that knowing his vii. in
vance they should have dared disregard it, and seems
TO import thar the expression OF the opinion the Execu
tive ON matters OF public interest, renders CON
iorinity duty anduon conformity Such doctrine
AMI such temper should be in proper spirit by the
insued legislature. Congress ought be truly grateful
for the novel aud valuable Information so
communicated At the elose OF the message. We do not
share in the wonder Of the laughter
produced, It's folly aud ridiculous impcriInence
we're enough make ggshablc laughter shake the
hall
On the whole, regard the artfll paper
inendedto isolate the Wing party proper aud conole
the support Of other Interests however conflicting We
predict, however, that will fail purpose-iaIfitcs
and anti ritcs cannot be well conciacd toschcr aud
Monsieur Veto, although he may be brought To the
block the guioiue, may yet find himself in an unpea
