THE VETO MESSAGE.

We have read with much pleasure the Veto of
President Tyler and hesitate not in saying that
think his argument against the blending of the Tariff
and Land bill is wholly irresistible II appears to
very conclusive that the members of the two Hous
es ofCongress who may have thought that they were
heading President Tyler by sending him this bill, will
60 home with scarce any kind of excuse fol their
course in presenting such measure to the Chief Ma
gistrate of the country.
Whatever the opponents of Mr. Tyler may say in
relation to his other communications feel conf
dent that it will be generally admitted that this last
paper is unobjectionable in manner as it is clear
and forcble in argument. To the banded conspira-
tors, it is little else than gall and NORWOOD.
In conclusion, we cannot pass over what we think
quite important in relation President Tylers
on this great measure, viz that he has led off boldly
in the old footsteps of Democracy. Every Democra-
tic member of both Houses Of Congress having voted
against the bill that President Tyler has thus prompts
y vetoed Mr.. Tyler has, on this OCCASION marked
out his future His banner bears on it the sig
nifcant motto 'the Democracy invincible"

With promptness which does him honor, mas
much it evidences fcarlessness in his discharge
of an imperative duty, however disagreeable the
President on Tuesday returned to the House of Re-
representatives. the last devised Tariff and Distribution
BILL with respectful decIination to give it his con-
currence. The reasons he assigns for so declining
are clear distinct and conclusvely briefly expressed
and plainly set forth, sustained by arguments which

THE VETO-HEAR BOTH SIDES.
We observe that the lntelligencer is at Its old
game again-quo,ing the opinions OF the press
from one side-the Federal side-just as IT used
TO do when General Jackson was carrying eve
rything before him-backed by the People-in
spite of the Federasts. Now we will see who
can go furthest in this game. The other side
shall speak through our columns.

THE VETO.

An old fashioned Democratic Jackson Veto comes
to greet in John Tyers veto of the monster called
(" Tariff" bill-a sort of suction pump on the life
blood ofibe People. The calmness and dignity with
which the Message ia written-,the unanswerabe CO
gency with which its reasoning is enforced-and the
open, frank, candid manner, in which Mr.. Tyler de-
fers to the second sober thought of Congress- If that
thought shall be adverse his views of duty, and of
the interests Of the country will win for him more of
the popular good feeling than he has been permitted
TO know since the attempts to head him We're COM
menced We submit the paper to the careful perusal
and sound reflection of our readers.

TON IN THE GREAT CITY-TREMEl
DOUS POPULAR EXCITEMENT-CAPTA
TYLER A GREAT GUN.

Yesterday afternoon, few minutes before two
O'Clock, we received the GREAT VEro MESSAGE of
Captain John Tyler President of the United States,
and in half hour, it issued in the shape OF an
Extra Herald from this Office, and ten thousand sold
in less than no time. At four O'Clock second edi-
ton published and sent to all parts of the coun-
try, north and east, by the afternoon mails.
The excitement, in and about the Herald Buildings,
was tremendous during the whole afternoon In
Wall street, the great gun of the Captain fell upon
the rascas and Spectators there, like avalance,
of fire and birthstone from the regions not to be
named. In the Park, and through all the popular
sections of the city, where the working men "most
do congregate" it was received like fresh revela-
ton from heavena presage of better tunes and purer
morals. Towards night the crowds metspOntaneous-
ly in the Park, and opposite Tammany Hall, to the
extent of many thousands. The big guns were
brought out, and hoenty pe fred off at the first
breath for the three first Vet0es. gentleman
named E. E. Camp Esq, connected with this office,
who had extra in his hand, caught by the po-
pulace compelled to mount of the guns, and there
to read the message to the thckening crowds After
he had finished his task, scream of delight rose up
to heaven from the assembled mass like the voice OF
Niagara Falls and they rushed like madmen to the
guns and fired off seuenty,fre guns for the last, the
greatest the braves the bodest stand yet taken
by President of the United States against the rascal
ly spectators, politicians and financiers who have
dsgraced, dshonored and afflicted the country. Du-
ring the whole night up midnight the crowds were
thick around Tammany Hall and the Park.

for which fGod formed it by that blindness which
,oiA not see be the light Of conviction strong and
irresistible as the glare OF the MONDAY sun.
OF those reasons, and of the facts and arguments
which accompany them, il is needless to speak al
length. The concseness with which they are giTen
the greatness Of the interests at stake and the I'M
portant bearing which this document will OF neces-
sity exercise upon the political acton OF congress
and the country will cause the Message to be read
studied and we'll considered by every citizen We
cannot dismiss the subject however, without record
ing our hearty concurrence with the views therein
set forth by President Tyler in relation to the Dsri
button appendage to the Tariff billthe only portion
of the bill to which he signifies the least objection
We long ago, on more than one occasion, before We
had been advised what were the views Of our pre-
sent Chief Magistrate, who was then plain Mr.. Ty-
Ter, of any other attached to the Administra
ton of the General Government set faces against
that unwse and most improvident and ercseIe device
of political chicanery, for the same reasons, among
others, for which we are happy to find the Executive
SO uncompromisingly hostile to it. Its advocates,
who for the most part are SO solely from political
motives and to serve party ends, will of course now
let loose upon the President all their dogs of war;
and savage will be the strife to send him TO political
perdition for stepping between their nobility" and
the consummation Of this favorite, but most con-
demnable device of theirs. But the time has gone
by when the intelligence of the nation is TO be warp
ed and moulded by political nuendo and partisan
bravado or the plain dictates Of that sterling
sense which pervades all ranks of the sovereign
people of Republic can be devoured by the thun-
ders of partisan defamation factiOus denuncla-
tion Truth is mighty" and, aided by the lights
which universal education and general intelligence in
this country shed around her path, she will PREVAIL

HE VETO OF THE TAY RTJJ

THE VETO OF THE TAX BILL.
AS was anticipated by all who were aware of the
principles which govern the Executive, and as Con-
gress itself, we believe, contemplated when they
passed it, the Tariff bill has been vetoed by the Pre-
sdent The reasons he assigns for his Veto are such
every unprejudiced mind must acknowledge to be
both forcible and Just. The President will not sign
bill which, while it imposes additional taxes npon
the people, proposes also to give away the legitimate
means of the Government, which ought to be used
towards satisfying its necessary wants. The Pres-
dent refers in proper tone and spirit to his often
expressed opinions upon this subject which he frank
y made known for the purpose of preventing open
disagreement on so important point. But Congress
with perverseness amounting to nfatuation if not
to gross and culpable disregard to the public inte-
rests, force again and again upon him this ncongru
measure, which has received already the condem-
nation of the Executive, and which will never be
sanctioned by constitutional majority. And for ex-
ercising this proper independence of Judgment du-
ty which is plainly implied in the responsibility of
approving of the acts of legislation the President has
been, and will no doubt be again most shamefulIy
abused by those who would be the first to rail at and
condemn in measured terms his inconsistency if he
were weak to yield his honest convictions to
their disgracefu denunciations. The President how
ever, shows becoming frmness--one which evil
IDENTIFY proceeds from his convictions Of public duty
and though wishing as every friend of the country
does. the passage of judcious tariff, sufficient to
supply the wants Of government he will not be baed
into the surrender of an important principle to
sanction that which is injudcious, for the pur-
pose OF attaining good which legislative folly
has rendered doubtful by its unwise connection with
the bad. The responsibility now
rests with Congress, and the people expect them to
act promptly and judiciously. They will no longer
endure the farce of Congress legslating for certain
defeat by another branch Of Government whom they
cannot coerce, and ought not, true patriots and
friends of the Constitution, to desire to do.

petoing the Tariff Revenue bill, passed day or
two since in Congress.
We have hastily glanced through it, and are hear
tily reoiced to find that the Chief Executive of the
Nation determined stand by the Constitution and
defend it from unhallowed encroachments
The arguments used by Mr.. Tyler for refusing his
cogent, and powerful, and must be warmly approved
by the great Of the American people.
We recommend to readers to read the Veto
Message with due and attention. We are sure
it will be approved by every Statesman and Democrat
who has the welfare of his country at heart.

1t is we'll considered state paper and presents the
argument against the new bill of denominations in a
succinct and popular form. Its statements and
sonings though not new except as the condition of
the Treasury at the moment, altogether unan-
swerable What will the Wings do now The
heading process it must be admitted, has far
worked well expected. The Captain has
taken the Lead carrying the pub ic feeling with him.
and the jockies who were to have crossed his track
must whip up or they will find themselves on the
wrong side of the distance pole. Truly there is dan
ger Of their losing that generous confidence which
paign. Something should be done to renew ii new
edition perhaps of the "yellow-kiver song book,
fresh invoice of miniature cider barrels might recall
cent sympathies, and assist in saving the The

vailed upon to expedite its publication, might help.

THE VETO.

The reader will find in our paper of to-day,
the Fourth Veto of President Tyler, which we
hope will satisfy the band of destructives that
are outraging every sense of justice and propri-
ety. that he is made of " sterner stuff" than to
yield to them one iota, and that he has irmness of
character enough to stand between the Constitution
and those who would trample it under foot, and re-
ceve in his own person the blows directed at it by
as unprincipled set disgraced the Councils
of any Nation on the face of the Earth We hope
the tones of thunder that peang from the South
and West, will awaken these destructives to
OF their duty to their country, and that since they find
themselves checkmated at every attempt to "head"
the Executive they will turn their attention to fulfil
the duties that they were sent there to perform
They have done all the evil in their power--they
have received the anathemas Of deceived and be-
trayed people, and the only hope that is left them is
to save some little of their character by promptly
acting for the country and leave their electioneer-
ing rickery to be enacted in their secret Clay clubs
under the dark mantle of night and longer pollute
the carpet upon which they tread and desecrate the
legislative halls of republican people
