Ma EDToR; The late Message of the President,
objections, has been read with much interest and sa-
lisiacton by the citizens of Baltimore. There seems
to be but one opinion expressed by the candid LIBERAL
moderate and enlightened portion of the community in
relation TO the which excellent, patriotic,
and independent Chief Magistrate has deemed 1t eI-
pedent to pursue in relation to that bill lie has, on
this particular occasion, shown TO the nation and TO
the world that his Roman imness is equal to any
emergency and unless greatly mistake the charac-
ter of the American People, the name of John Tyler
in all future Time will be associated with all that IS
good or worthy to be remembered in the history of his
country. Other statesmen that have filled that ex-
allied station have had trials to encounter and difficult
ties to surmount; but not one of them has been sub
ected to the fiery ordeal through which the present
incumbent of the Executive Chair has had to pass
and not of them, may add, has come out in a
brighter blaze of glory. The policy of majority OF
the present Congress n connecting OF IN ENGRAVING
lpon Tariff or Repenue bill, feature so foiegn to
the subject Distribution is here fully understood,
and the motive properly appreciated.
Mr.. Tyler, with Mr.. Clay, voted for the Compro-
mise of 1883 and signed the Distribution bill of
the extra session. pissed by Wing majority which
re-afiirmed the principles OF the Compromise, and
which provided among other things, that when it be-
came necessary raise duties beyond 20 per cent.
that distribution should cease. Yet notwithstanding
all this in the face of these glazing facts staring them
in the face the majority of the present Congress pass
Revenue bill connected with Distribution, and then
call upon the President to sign the bill, or take the
alternative OF leaving the Government without reve-
nue.! He has discharged his duty faithfully and hon
esily and throws the responsibility where 1t should
rest-upon Congress. 1t is now to be seen whether
that body will meet the esponsibility-whether they
will return home to their constituents without provld-
ing the necessary revenue to carry on the 'vern-
mentor whether they are willing to every interest
sacrificed for the laudabe purpose of heading Capt
Tyler in the proper discharge of his constitutional
duty.
The policy of raising revenue by taxation for the
purpose of distribution among the States, fhds but
few advocates among those with whom have con-
versed When the Government is greatly in debt and
much embarra sed in carrying on its ordinary opera
tons, the policy of giving away those means which
should, in common justice and common honesty be
especially appropriated to the liquidation of the just
demands upon the Treasury, is justly and strongly
repudated Quo.

THE INTELLIGENCER's LOGIC.

The Intelligencer argues that, inasmuch as the
Federal Clay Wing candidate for Governor is
elected in N. Carolina, the State is entirely safe
for Clay, and the fact that there will be maio-
rity of Republicans in the Legislature, in no
way lessons the Wing victory.
Now, we would ask the Intelligencer, if it is
guided by the above rule, what pretext it had
for claiming LOUISIANA for Clay, which elected
a Republican Governor and Wing Legsla-
ture r?
We doubt very much whether Messrs. Man
gum and Graham will exult over the ''victory''
in the North State. After rejecting so many of
the Presidents nominations, they must now
submit to a re ection themselves

AN INVOLUNTARY HIT.

The Philadelphia Gazette, in noticing the

ious question in every ones mouth We cannot now

THE DEFUNCT aREVENUE BILL

We are assured, by knowing friend, that it
was ascertaned on Wednesday last, in the
House, that if the vote had been taken on the
bill vetoed by the President, a majority pould
hare uOted against 1t! This is very probable
since authentic information demonstrates that
the bill would not have yielded more than $l2,-

"OFF WITH HIS HEADlr

When the late Postmaster General, from his seat
in the House of Representatives boosted that he had
brought 5000 heads TO the block, the whole Wing
press shouted glad ste deum." But now the resto-
ration is commenced, and these same presses are
yelping like whipped dogs. Why should John Tyler
keep men in office who use their official power to
crush him. We should feel but mighty little respect
for him he to curl quietly to the lash. These
men call him "turncoat'-"traitorr-
"imbecien-"scoundrel," and all the other choice
epithets of the Wing vocabulary, and yet think it
mighty oppressive if in return he takes from them
post office or public printing, and gives them
TO those whose tongues will be more respectful. He
is taking the right course, and we hope he will make
one general sweep. The people of the nation are
sick at heart of the eighteen months Wing regime
and will sustain him in it. They "want change
