L. The born rory Of .he l.nouirer i. ereee.

fJ@ The born Tory OF the Enquirer is exceel-
insly abusive Of the Wings of Congress, because
they will not betay their constituents and the cause
OF public freedom. by submitting to Executive
dlctatlon. There is great deal in the blood Of
horses and we dare say there is much in men!-
IL was exceedingly fortunate for the independence
Of this couniry, that majority CT the people in it
at the time OF the Revolution, were no, such as the
Editor Of the Enquirer. In that case, we should
now be in state of colonial bondage. Blu, as our
liberties were achieved before he was of years to
prevent it, lie would bring us 10 the condition We
were in when Britain attempted to tax the people
without representation, just as Capt Tyler is no y
doing without law.
The Enquirer in denouncng the Wings Of Con
sress as "mad caps" and "nfltuated men"-(if we
hal a copy OF a Tory paper OF &c, we should pro
oably bnd similar ephets applied to the Wings Of
that day)-asks il "these men would leave us with
out any law-witho1t any authority to collect mo-
ney and carry on the Government 2" Certainly
not" Your President says he has the right to col
ect money without any additional Legislation
and he is daily exercising the risht-Besdes, the
Wings have given him two Revenue Bills-botb of
which, he has cj,ctcd. II they pass another il III
probably share the same fate. They NAV even
submit to ask him TO draw up n bill and affix a
title to 1t, and they may pass that, and still have it
vetoed That has happened once and may again
The responsibility will rest upon these mac
caPs'-Very wcll-,hey will bear tiff lust.
h'sh- spirited People choose to lay i, upon them
But, u must be remembered that the Whigs have
not majority OF two.thrds-so as TO pass a bill
~ spte OF the Veto. They have twice done oil
they could TO furnish the Government with revenue
and protect the interests Of the peope-and twice
have their efforts been nullifed by the ono mo n
Power, aided by the Locofocos in Congress. The
Farm BIZ, which has Just been vetoed is not vet
dead-and II the Loeos wish to ESCAPE the response
biiiiy Of dissOlving the Government las thew call IN
let them vote with the Wings to pass il into law
and 1t will become law las his majesty was pleased
to intimately notwithstanding the Veto II they
decline doing this, let them he content to bear, in
common with their new ally, the odium and re-
Spons'b'IiIy OF leaving the Government wi,hou,
neans-and the industry Of the people exposed TO
the rulnous competition Of the pauper abour Of Eu
rope. We nre prepared to sec, and would great
" prefer TO see the Government starving and every
Officer holder begging bread sooner than sec the
public liberty oyerhrown; and the people deprived
OF tho ine'lmablo right to tax themselves in their
own way.
The issue IS fairly presented to the Locos-take
this bill and thereby obtain the means of feeding
your Office holders, and keeping the Government
nhoat-or reject il and dissolve the Government
and siarve your dependents and friends. The Poo
pie, who do no, look 10 Office for support-c,o
llye-nlIhough there is not a cen, in the public
treasury. Tho Ohice.holders can say how one
years starvation will effect lheml
