THE TARIFF AND DISTRIBUTION.

Patriots, Statesmen and Sages stand fast by
'sDIsTRIBUTIoN."
People of the great State of New York! behold
the boon for which, at every sacrifice these Solons
are coDtendng.
In round numbers you are 2,5O0,000 or about one
seventh of the entire Union. Your share Of "Distr-
BUTTON" estimating the annual amount at millions,
will therefore be about S42S,000 which, according
to Cocker" will give every man, woman and child of
the 100000 inhabitants Of the State, the splendid
boon of IL cents per head y!
Are you not thankful for such stupendous benefits
Why it is almost equal to the earnings of an able
bodied "Ngger' for one hour in hos ing cotton or
rolling sugar hogsheads!
Only think of this that you going to get the
pay Of about one entire hours labor for nothing, alb
soutrly nothing. Whereas if " Distribution be
basely yielded to Capt. Tyer's vetoes, and Tariff
be passed without it, you will have to work for your
pay (and plenty you will have to do depend upon it
but your enlightened legislators think it wiser to pro-
you hours pay for doing nothing than to let
you reap the reward of a weeks savish toll Will
you not ain them in their noble struggle thus TO
serve you, and at the time t. break down that
despotic feature of the Constitution which invests the
President with the independence of Man, when it is
clear that the whole intent and meaning of his office
was merely to register the of party in short
to act as chief clerk to Congress-
You Will doubtless answer this question at the polls.
Let your wa chword be al cents head per Amer-
can and no slavery"

From the Mem York Nen Era

We must defend Mr. Tyler from the gross vitupe-
ration of the Clay wings. When they accuse him of
his reachery, they bring railing charge which has
no foundation in truth. Mr.. Tyler is not the base
and perfidions wretch which they describe That he
has not been consistent we admit that he is not a
man Of the most exalted faculties or super-human
WISDOM we also admit but we do not admit that he
has wantonly betrayed the confidence of his former
friends. All the dupcity there has been, has been
manifested by the Wings themselves When Mr..
Tyler nominated at the Baltimore Convention,
he was selected on the ground thrt his name would
conciate and secure the votes of the South. As a
Southern with Southern principles, he was placed
the same ticket with General Harrison, and be is
not to be blamed, if Providence has given him power,
hat he exercises it in obedience with his conscience,
and according to the political theories for the sake OF
which he was nominated

THE VETO POWER

The Wings IN Congress are raising great oucry
against President Tyler for having exercised his
constitutional prerogative of vetong bill which
they presented. They contend that the Veto can be
Justly used only as the expression OF constitution al
objections, and upon the score of erpediency.
The language of the Constitution itself, however,
warrants such construction. That instrument
says of bills which have passed both Houses, that
the President may Veto if he has objections to them
L here Is not one word about his motives The most
eminent and enlightened statesmen of America have
| taken the same view of the Veto power Mr.. Ty-
Ter, and have exercised it in the manner. Mr..
Madison vetoed the Bank bill for reasons Of expedi-
ency without his producing the bowling denunci-
atoms and envenomed abuse which President Tylers
exercise OF the power, from the motive, has
called down upon him. To go farther hack, General
Washington set the example by exercising the Veto
| power on the same ground-the question of expedi-
| ency.
We have not the journals of the times to refer to,
but we believe that General Washington was not de-
nounced as traitor and vioator of the Constitution
| for so doing. To follow in the footsteps of Wash
ington and Madison-to adopt their construction of
the Constitution is surely discredit and hshonor.
But this construction is the only that would sug
gest itself to q candid and unbiased mind, perusng
the great charter of our rights The Republican Sys-
tam OF our Government, is a system of checks and
| baances-whout the existence of The Veto power in
various FORMS the system of Government would be
wrecked and ruined The members of the House Of
Representatives, represent each Of them local and
separate interests, while each Senator naturally advo-
Gates mist strenuously the cause of his Star !;
but besides these two branches the Constitution has
provided magistrate, elected by the whole people,
and representing The interests of the Union He is
vested with Veto power to be used at his discretion,
but the Senate possesses couner-check their veto
power-ihe power to reject the nominations of the
President.
The abolition of the Veto power of the President
has been limited at by some But to abolish The Veto
power of one branch of the law making, would lead
to the abolition of the Veto power in another. For
if principle be just in itself, there is justice in car

DISTRIBUTION. OR NO TARIFFn


1 his is the proclamation of the desperate Clay fac
ton, which is now arrayed against the administration
of the Government and the people IF the county,
Business men and capitalists who but few weeks
ago prayed for union of parties for the sake of pro
lection" and protection only"-who sacredy pro-
fessed dsinterested desire merge all other ques-
tons into this simply and aone,-now send out this
desperate issue TO the country. For the sake of d.
verting the small amount accIuing from the sale of
our public domain, from empty Treasury, or from
the payment of the nations debt, and with the de-
sign of squandering upon corporations and the like,
these political and financial desp radoes determn-
ed to sacrifice all the great interests of the country
and scatter ruin broadcast among all whose business
occupations suffer from competition with foreign la
Dor. What do our manufacturers think of the
professions Of tho,e 'Whgs" who were recently so
active in endeavoring TO the corporation of
the Democracy in their tariff efforts2 Whiggery
soon developes itself any question, and never
leaves the people long deceived the character OF
its designs.

VETO OF THE TARIFF BILL!

The President has again used his authority against
the action of Congress. The negative has been
placed on the little tariff bill which provides in eff.
tect that there shall be distribution on the LIST of Au-
gust of money accruing after the 30th of June from
land sales, while the duties 20 per cent,
less it should be otherwise ordered by the law before
August LIST. Should no ne law pass by the / st
of Auges,, then distribution would have taken place
under this law 1t was evidently scheme to head
Captain Tyler, but he has taken a bold and decided
stand in This matter, as might have been expected.
