CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.


Whatever may have been the nature ofthe contro
versy between the Executive and Congress before the
recent veto, the character and parties to it were
changed or rather a controversy arose from the
moment that the tariff bill was returned with the
Prcs Ient's negative. Ii became then no longer
question to the boundary between Executive pre-
rogatve and Legislative right between two different de-
partments oftbe Government, but question involving
the character Of the Government itself and the gene

on the one side, and the people of the United States
on the other We repeat, from the instant that the
President mt back the last tariff bill with his objec

Of the Government, but between Congress and the
nation at large.
These the present parties to the question

would be compelled again 10 call together, at extra

and the preservation OF the public Establishments

THE NEW VETO.

We have read with high qualification President
Tyler's veto of the Tariff and Distribution BILL re-
Gently passed Congress. The President has taken a
clear just and forcbe view of the subjects presented
to him by the bill, and has shown, conclusvely we
think that such legislation is not only unwise and in
expedient, but dangerous to the harmony and pros
perity of the country. The system of log-rolling,
caucus legislation, first introduced by the Federaiss
at the extra session. and still persisted H. in defiance
OF the emphatic and decided Reproduction of the peo-
pie, is most justly animadverted upon in the message
The President, in audng to this system, very Justly
observes:
'Ihe union of subjects wholly dissimilar in their
character in the same bill, if it grew into practice
would not fail to lead to consequences destructive of
all wise and conscientious legislation Various mea
sures, each agreeable only to a small minority might
by being thus united, and the more the greater
chance Of success, lead to the passing of laws, of
which no single provision could, if standing alone,
command majority in its favor"
In connexion with tins subject call attention
to the following extracts from leading Democratic
presses. They serve to show how the veto has been
received by the Democratic party generally.

PIE VETO

We publish in to-day's paper the of Pres-
dent Tyler for returning without his signature the
riff bill. They able and conclusive, and will re-
ceive the entire approval of every reasonable man.
The President is entitled to the gratitude of
the whole nation, for the bold, independent and homo
rabe stand he has taken against that party CoDgr
who have twice attempted to violate the principles of
the Constitution and anpul honorable compact so
lemrly made when the distribution bill was passed
The Presidents reasons for his veto are rrrtutable,
and will withstand the whole battery Of Clay Wig
gerry that may be brought to bear against them.
Already the adherents of Clay down upon the
President with wrath thu eats and denuncialions but
their war Of words will do him harm. He could do o
less than he has done, and in this act he country will
sustain him.

THE VETO

The iniquitous Tariff bill has been vetoed by the
President Finn in hi sinteerity, and mistaken by
the Vaccinations of his bitter enemies John Tyler
with Roman vigor, has discharged his duty to his
country and his Gnd. The Message is an admirable
State paper and will be found first page 1t is
just such an ought to emanate from the Chief
Magistrate of great people. II is calm determined

since the elevation ofhe Wings that is not obno yous
to the charges. of weakness and bombsst TIE
assigned for the exercise of the Veto power

9TH his previous principes-and consistent with the
obligations of the Constitution and the Compromise
act, John Tyler, by this act, has Tor himself
deep and lasting honor We buspeak for It an atten-
i've perusal.

PROSPECTS AHEAD.

The New York Express states that the receipts at
the New York Custom-House, IN July, were only
about two hundred thousand dollars. When II Is re-
membered that about two-thirds OF the yearly col
ections from customs have been made at this port,
the falling off i'll the receipts IT says, are appal ing,
and must be felt at Washington. The Express re-
marks
''If this is far proportion Of the collection in
other ports then the receipts for July, throughout
the country, have been but three hundred. thousand
dollars or about three and hall millions year.
Ii cannot be possible that this small amount be
the pro rata portion of the whole receipts for twelve
months for we easily conceive that merchants
and importers have been cautious how they intro
duced goods during the first months OF the new tari
nevertheless it is a strong and marked change, and
one that must be felt "
What is all this however, IN the eyes OF the wing
majority compared with the success of Henry Clay
with heading Captain Tyler or with the safety oil
the Wing party But this is only glance from one
point Of the political compass. The manufacturers
that have petitioned so earnestly for "protecton-
that are their millions upon millions OF capital on
the one side, when thrown into the scale OF Clay's
prospects on the other? Hear what one OF Clay's
abide. camps-Granger-say i'll Congress g to gen
temen iii the country who had pledged their millions
to the success of the manufacturing industry OF the
and"-eFrank's own words reported IN the Ma
tional Intelligencer )-.L5 Let this state u things
on and let the next three years Of grinding po-
verify show who could bear it longest, and where the
real wealth of the country was to be found" Frank
thinks that the isioeratic Whigs the Atlas calls
the Clay party, composed of 80 large portion OF The
richer merchants capitalists, and planters and their
immediate retainers and Dependents as well as the
members of the legal profession generally" as the
Boston Atlas again describes this party can bear this
grinding process longest and that the end their
darling candidate" will be President. But let
Francis Granger and his factious associates bear
it well in mind that the threat of grinding poverty
is the last threat that should be addressed to free
men
The prospects ahead-if this Wing authority IS to
be taken--are bankrupt treasury, ruined manuiac-
turers and " three years of grinding poverty !!
Nous We venture the assertion, that it is out
of the power of Francis Granger and the whole OF
his reckless mad associates 10 carry their schemes into
effect The people, everywhere, will mark the dem
agogues who ready to plunge the country into
@ grinding poverty" to a miserable sinking par
ty, and tumble them, like useless lumber from their
| seats of power.
