IMPEACHMENT.

Now if the friends of Mr.. Clay think they
make capital for his election by attempt to impeach
the President, we care not how soon the experiment,
is tried. henever they attempt TO touch hair OF
John Tyers head because he refuses to approve bill
charter Bank of the United States because he
will not consent ~ repeal of the 20 per cent provisO
in the Land bill because be chooses to deposite in
one of the Departments his for approving
bill in regard to tue exfedency constilutionalty Of
which he entertains doubts, from that moment they
will tind just and generous people ralying round
faithful and fearless public officer, and by their voss
driving back to private life the infatuated devotees OF
party who threaten thus to violate all law and JUS
lice.
If impeachment is the remedy, let us have 1.-THE
sooner the better 1t is preferable to assassination,
because it is impossible for them accomplish it,
We do not believe that they really contemp ate any
such measure but mstakng the tirmness and moral
courage Of the President they seek, by threatening
what they know they have power to execute, to
intimdate and brighten him sanction measures which
his and his duty his country condem n.
Mr.. Clay and his friends have declared against
the Administration, and three years will doubt
endure whatever amount Of suffering and injury they
may thus in1ict on the country.

THE VETO MESSAGE.

On our first page will be found President Tyler's
Veto OF the Distribution feature of the " little tariff
bill" He cou not consent that the proceeds of the
public domain should be given to pay the exrava-
giant debts of the States, when perfectly appa-
rent that it would lie attended by the ruin of the Gre
dit of the General Governmr mt.
The Veto Message meets with very different re-
ception from the different parties. y
The Jetersonian Democrats regard it purely pa
trioiic movement-made with an eye singly to The
public veal. But the Federal Clay-whigs are per-
fectly rabid-snapping and bowling with envenomed
malignty. President Tyler is assaed by every cpl
tibet viii the prolific vocabulary of Fed raj billings
gate can furnish. They style him wretch, p" trai
tor " miscreant," and "Anave," and, to cap the
climax, talk OF tnpeaching him Their wailing over
their desperate condition, and the hideous array of
broken promises and deliberate fasehoods which are
thrust in their faces from every quarter is truly pe-
Gus. 1t is righteous retrbution.

ANOTHER VETO.

BY Fridays mail, we learn that President Tyler
has vetoed the Provisional Tariff bill. The only OBJ
ect of the bill to have been, to force the Pre-
sident to sanction principle which he has before
condemned. 1t was a trap to 'head him off, but it
has been returned ready set and baited HIS objec-
tons to the bill are, that it violates the Compromise
tariff without making provisions for return of
the land revenue to the Treasury. The affair has
created no little excitement in Washington, and w.
Cost Johnson finding the President could not be thus
'headed," concluded it best to behead himself, by
proposing to offer bill for the assumption of the
State debts. This caps the climax of Whig madness.
1t is evident that the "big tariff bill cannot be-
come law unless the distribution be given up. We
cannot but admire the manly and independent course
of President Tyler in this mater--iounded 1t is in
sound principle and good sense. The absurdity of
giving away the proceeds of the lands while the Gov
eminent can hardly realize funds sufficient for its
ordinary expe ses, alone us6es the President in the
policy he has pursued. 1t was proposition that
must have had its origin either in folly knavery
perhaps both. 1t has met the fate it deserved-and
the conspirators are dangling from the gaows-tree
which they had erected for Tyler.

THE RIDICULOUS IMPEACHMENT.

they intended to make move upon Mr.. Tyler in the
impeachment line. They not alb e to find lam
guage sufficient strong to express their contempt for

Now, Notwithstanding all this affected horror at the
charge that they thought of mpeaching President
Tyler, there not gentleman at this time in Wash
ington City who does not know that for the last two
months, an impeachment was almost daily talked of.

President Tyler was walking upon the verge of

IMPEACHMENT.

Reckless and INSCRIPTIONS the federal
managers in Congress, in the accomplishment of
their nefarious schemes, do not believe they have
become so desperate-so perfectly stark mad-as to
attempt such an outrage upon the Chief Head of an
independent and coordinate department Of the Gov
eminent. Shoad they be fool-hardy to under
take it. they could not be nsensbe to the fact that
swift and certain destruction would be vented upon
them by an outraged and indigna t People.
Unsuccessful as the plot would inevitably be- as the
federal majority tn mseves must well know-they
will not-they dare not undertake it. And we have
the charity to believe it has never been entertained
by any consl cradle portion of the federasls in Con-

We have strange rumors from Washington. And,
what is much more strange have combinations OF
the truth of their representations. 1t said hat the
present Congress- whicl has been In session so long
that the memory of runneth not back to its com
mencement will adjourn in four weeks at the far
thes Ii is to be hoped that, if they do not dissolve
before the middle of Angus, the hot suns of that
month will dissolve them. Before the dissolution,
and probably during The present or next week. charg
es mpeachng President Tyler will be brought before
that body, and if so, delay will be occasioned until
the charges examined and DISSATISFACTION dismiss
