The National InteIigencer, speaking of the i'm

beginning to the end, is, the reader may be assured
but such stuff as dreams made Off Quite like

smoke. If there is any thing that is eminently rid
cuous to be said or done in Congress, Mr.. Bolts will
be found the promugaor or projec He is the sug
geser and susaner Of all kinds of folly. But what
will MI. Bolts say to Messrs. Gales & Seaton for their
severe notice of his PLEDGE TO IMPEAcH? The in

all former occasions he has utterly failed in his as

now, In pity 10 his weakness, they turn him into

doubtless call upon him to speak out on this subject

of Mr.. Bolts to justify him in threatening an i'm

events, the people call upon Mr. Bots to publish
whether he endorses the preceding set up by
the lntelligencer in his behalf.
The Wings terribly disturbed at the gross folly
as they call it, of the editor of the Mad,sonian in
thinking that they thought of trying to impeach Mr.
Tyler. They ought to remember that it is no MANU-
FAcTURE of Mr. Jones, but that it is the PRODUCTION
of Mr.. Bolts, the great would-be leader of the Wing
party, WI 0 is ever playing game to head Captain
Tyler, and who threatened, in the chamber of tn
House to present resolution to impeach Mr.. Tyler

A correspondent whom we should be glad to hear
from oftener, makes these suggestions:

to form the grounds of the impeachment Further

in the II. Of R., with what propriey the Clay
wings in the Senate, who have aided and abetted in
the game of heading President act as his Judges
These queries are well put and worth a mo-
ments consideration. We take it for granted that the
Impeachment, if attempted, will be based mainly on
the third veto, for it scarcely be supposed that the
Presidents filing his for signing bill among
the archives of department, can b. thrown in except

Upon this hypothesis it would De no difficult task to
show that the Clay wings in the H. of R. the grand
nouest of the nation in such cases. were accessories
before the fact, whatever the alleged mal-conduct
might and that these partisans in the Senate the
high court upon whom devolves the trial of impeach-
mtnts, and the power of rendering judgment, were
in the same boat. No candid man could hesitate

We do not wonder, in view of the dilemma in
which jury and judges would find themselves, under

President Tyler in returning the ''liltle tariff BILL
has again brought down upon him the whole vials oil
wrath of the federal Clay wings. 1t would seem that
the English language could hardly furnish words to
express the unmtgated wrath of these Simon Pures,
of whiggery. And Clay has formerly read him out
of Federal ranks and publicly proclaimed a bitter
and exterminatng warfare upon him. They are bit
tery disappointed in finding John Tyler mbued with
so much Of good old Virginia democracy, and that
they cannot make him that easy plant, and subtle
tool which they designed to make of Gen. Harrison.
We say canddiy and boldly, that it is the bounden
duty of the democracy, that SO far as John Tyler
gives evidence of determination conduct his adj
ministraon in accordance with those great principles
for which the democracy have contended, that
they should yield him their cordial and hearty support,
and defend his character and shield the office of First
Magistrate from any ndignity which they may offer
to it in his person.
President Tyler has, under the most trying crcum-
stances, given induhitable proof of his attachment to
the cardinal doctrines of Jehersonian democracy.
His views on the Bank question: the Land Distrlbu-
tion the Tariff, and the assumption Of State Debts,
are orthodox to the letter.

The vessel came up and anchored off the Battery

We learn that the Conner sailed from France about
the 18th of June.
She carries II guns and crew of 245 men. She

IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT.

The Madtsonian of Saturday last divulges the plan
Of conspiracy suspend the President of the Uni
ted States which is about to be made by his oppo-
nents in Congress. This revolutionary movement,
the Madisonian says is to he started by Bolts
The plot is: As soon as the Tariff Dis ribution bill
passes the House, perhaps on Saturday next, John
Minor Bolts, (f he be not in the meantime frightened
from his purpose by the Madsonan will rise in his
place and prefer articles of impeachment against the
Chief Magistrate of our country" The effect of this
will be to put the President upon his trial before the
Senate, and In the meantime Mangum viii act as
President, and sign the bill.
On Monday, in Congress, Bolts gave notice that
he should prefer articles of impeachment against the
President. This The majority In Congress would Rot
let him do. The whole mater settled in Con
gressonai caucus on Wednesday, at which he mo
ton of Bolts that the President should be impcach-
ed, received but seventeen votes. Thus ends for the
present, this reasonable aemptto overthrow the Go
vernment
This Bolts is much better employed at making than
unmaking Presidents, and should, therefore, confne
himself to his old vocation.

by his own party and got but sepenteen potes for his

''Does the Integencer know that four days ago,

injury by Their misguided fanaticsm Such violent

PRESIDENT TYLER.

The Independent, m My, and dgnifed course pur
sued by this gentleman, during his short official
reer, has been such as to commend him to the re-
spect and support of every honorable and hgh-mind-
ed man. His acts such plainly indicate a
statesman of the first order, whilst they exhibit to all
virtue, integrity, and honesty Of purpose ongly
fortified to be shaken by the VAIN elements of dis
cord. Such President presenting the strong and
leading features of the Virginia Republican school of
'9S, is all the Democratic party requires-it is all
they have commended for. And when they see a no
bic and brave thus heroicaly contending against
venal unprincipled and discordan opposition, that
endeavor govern and control him. is it not the die
tate of principle and duty to yield him that cordial
and hearty support so necessary and important to a
just administration of the Government

that no obstacles should be thrown in the way Of a

THE VETO.

On the 29th ut. the President returned to the
House of Representatives the temporary revenue
with Veto message. We consider this the very
bes document that has yet come from the President.
His principal objection the bill appears to be- that
Com ronlse act. He argues that if the provisions Of
the Compromise act can be extended for temporary
period, they also be extended as to become IA
permanent law. He says Congress may, in accord
ance with the COMPROMISE act, lay any amount of du-
ties, that it is for revenue, and in doing pro-
per Discrimination may be made for the protection OF
manu- factures.
