instead he reargued the old question: TO the
constitutional relation of the President to the legs
latlye action of Congress. And how did he argue
it, He, Mr. c., had analysed the Constitution, and
quoted the authorities Of Mr.. Madison in the Fed
eraIist Mr.. Jefferson Judge Story in his Commenta-
res and Chancellor Kent in his-all supporting the
position taken by Mr.. c. ana contradicting that OF
Mr. A. And what says MIR. A. to this! Why, tacitly
admitting that the merits OF the question and all
these authorities against him, he fiies OH into
dissertation concerning the opinions Of John Locke.
What had John Locke to do with the Constitution OF
the United States' He, an old speculative Eng
lsh writer who died some half century before
the Constitution was thought of? What sort of au-
thority was he upon question of American law, in
opposition to Madison, TO Jefferson, to Story to
Kent and it might be added to Van Buren,? MIR. A.
had made parade here of Locke's book on Gov
eminent, and criticised the omission of Mr.. Madison
for citing Montesquieu instead of Locke. Mr. c..
could suggest very good reason why MIR. Madison
had not quoted Locke. 1t was not that Mr.. Madison
was ignorant OF this school-boy learning that Mr..
Adams produced here; but Locke, though he had
written some very good things on speculative pol
tiles and metaphysics, yet had made himself rdicu-
lous IN America as practical statesman by his Con-
stituton for Carolina and MIR. Madison might well
shrink from relying on his authority tie of
promoting the adoption of the Constitution of the
United States.
MIR. ARNOLD here rose to question Of order, as to
the relevancy of the remarks OF Mr. c. to the subject
before the committed
MIR. CUSHING said that they were just about re-
levant to the Fertilization bill those of Mr. Adams
to the Army bill. The members of the committee
had seen fit TO indulge Mr. A. then, and they must he
content to hear him Mr. c. now. For, if driven to
it, he could easily eyade the point Of order, after the
example which Mr.. A. had set, by supposng case,
aud dealing with it alphabetically. However, he had
but one other thing TO say, and that was to state,
that at the very time SO many attacks were made
on him for the expressions he had used, the Intel-
gencer contained written speech of Mr. Evans, OF
President spoken of he coordinate Department
of the National Legislature" Mr. c. had not used
strong an expression this. He hoped that if gen.
temen on the other side of the House were not sat-
ished with Madison and Jefferson, with Story and
Kent they would receive, at any rate, what he Mr..
CO. was proud to rely on, such excellent Wing au-
thority as George Evans, OF Maine.

NOTE.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, Aug. ii, 1912.
The House being in Committee of the Whole on
the Fertilization BILL Mr.. CUSHING adverted to the
above subject, in further reply to Mr.. ADAMS. He
said that Mr. A. had previously replied in the House,
in debate upon Mr. Coopers resolutions, to remarks
made by him (Mr. CO. in Committee of the Whole on
the Army bill, and then, in debate on the Army bill
in Committee of the Whole, Mr.. A. had replied to
Mr. C's remarks in the House, on Mr.. Coopers reso-
lutions Mr.. A. seemed to argue that because he. Mr.
c., had expressed an uDpalatabe opinion concerning
point in the Constitution therefore twenty military
storekeepers ought to be abolished.
Mr.. ADAMS interposed here, and denied that he
had argued to abolish the storekeepers.l
Well, said Mr.. C., it is true that Mr. A. said little
or nothing the subject before the committee, but

TYLER TOO" is TYLER TRUE
The President has passed the Rubicon, and for the
fourth time placed himself in the imminent deadly
breach, to stem the onward rushing tide of Federal
| corruption! We must strip John Davis of his mis-
applied prefix, and award the same to JOHN TYLER,
to whom 1t more appropriately belongs
We publish the Fourth Veto Message. 1t will
speak for itself. We have read it with unfeigned
and unmixed satisfaction 1t is a noble, manly,
straightforward document, and must produce favor
able Impressions wherever it is read and considered
| candidy and dispassionately. Among the democrats
generally should say, this Message is held to be
the abes and best State paper that has yet emanaed
| from President Tyler.
In most trying emergency, the President has
| evinced irmness and decision of character, of the
true Roman stamp. In the midst of the most infam-
matory propositions and menaces on the part of the
iactous Hotspurs of ruin-making Congress, he has
without hesitation come boldly up to the high mark
of duty. The honest of all parties will applaud his
infexible devotion to principle. The Message is an
argument that cannot be materially affected by the
| empty sophisms and the quibbling evasions of the
whole fraternity OF "mousing politicians" Come
what may, John Tyler, in this matter, will stand
gueless before his countrymen.
The Revenue bill sent to the President, was sad
died with Distribution, for the viest of purposes Tie
Clay desructives deliberately framed the bill with the
design of involving Mr.. Tyler in the depths of dis
grace he signed it, and of rendering him the sub
ject of indignant denuncation and obloquy, if he
| jected it, But predict that the headers will be
| headed. The nefarious conspiracy will turn most
sgnally to plague the inventors Regenerated North
Carolina and Indiana give them most Startling warn
| ing of their doom.
Aside from the Distribution feature the bill vetoed
| is perncious affair-an icontrived, injudicious
and unequal project-a crude hodge podge, cooked
up by uniformed flash politicians and party drill ser
geants for the promotion of intriguing schemes with
out reference to the true interests OF those engaged in
the various branches of industry bill wrechedly
adapted to real and permanent interests of the
uacurers themselves ash calculated to be crampng
to the revenue and injurious to and agrcul
ture.
This we have grounds for'sayng, is the opinion of
some the most sensible and sagacous manufacturers
in this State, who, however much they may be swerved
in political action by party associations never heless
agree with President Tyler, that "What they most of
all require is system of moderate duties, arranged
as to withdraw the Tariff question: far as possible
from the arena of political contention" Mr. Gushing
| likewise cOncurs in the opinion.
| An overwhelming majority of the American people
will thank John Tyler for staying the hydra-headed
"bi of nominations"

From the .Nsub1ruport Herald.

The fourth Veto Message of President Tyler will
be found in another column. AS State paper it is
better written, and its more elevated tone is cacula-
ted to for better reception from the Peo-
pie, than either of the previous vetoes of Mr. Tyler
1t cannot be denied that the Message makes out
strong case. 1t is evidently time when all the re-
sources of the Government needed. Not only is
the land fund needed, but all the revenue which
well adjusted tariff will give, needed to support the
Government 1t appears that the entire proceeds of
the lands for the last six months is only $64OOOO
Under the terms of the Distribution sct, nearly one
half of this goes to the States in which the land sold
is situated and the remainder is then to be distributed
among all the States What pitiful sum is this to
have created so much contention.

THE VETO AND THE ELECTIONS.

1t is gratifying coincidence to know that the
same breeze that brings on its wings the cheering
news of the great Democratic triumphs in Illinois,
North Carolina and Indiana, carries with it the Veto
of the President against the unprlncpled legislation
of desperate federal Congressman. The people and
the President have spoken together against the unho-
ly union of Tariff and Distribution, and it remains to
be whether reckless politicians dare to disregard
that emphatic expression of public opinion that
breaks like thunder-clap upon their ears
