During thunder storm which visited this place

of Mr. Buttrck, of Fairhaven village, struck by
the electric fluid but we are happy to add that no
lives were lost The shock, judging from its effects,
must have been unusually heavy. The fluid appa-

the building, the first instance, and from this point
extended the whole of hat portion of the house
One of the rafters Vas entirely removed and of
the large upright posts in the Frame shivered to
splinters. The chimney thrown down, windows

instead of that he reargued the old question: TO tho
constitutional relation Of the President to the egis
atrve action of Congress And how did he argue
III He, Mr. c., had analysed the Constitution, and
qnoted the authorities OF MIR. Madison in the Fed
eralist Mr. Jefferson, Judge Story in his Commenta-
ries and Chancellor Kent in his,-all supporting the
position taken by Mr.. c., and contradicting that OF
MIR A. And what says Mr.. A. TO thisl Why, tacltly
admitting that the merits of the question and all
these authorities are against him, he flies oil into
dissertation concerning the opinions OF John Locke
What had John Locke 10 do with the Constitution oil
the United Statess He, old speculative Eng
ish writer who died some half century before
the Constitution thought of? What sort OF au-
thority was he upon question of American law, IN
opposition to Madison, 10 Jefferson, to Story, to
Kent, and il might be added TO Van Buren,! MIR. A.
had made parade here Of Lockes book on Gov
ernment and criticised the omission OF MIR. Madison
for citing bIontesquieu instead of Locke. MIR. &.
could suggest a very good reason why MIR. Madison
had not quoted Locke. 1t was not that MIR. 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
itcs and metaphysics yet had made himself ridlcu-
ous IN America as practical statesman, by his Con
sttution for Carolina; and Mr. Madison might well
shrink from relying on his authority as tie IN ians oil
promoting the adoption OF the Constitution OF the
United States.
Mr. ARNOLD here rose to question of order, as TO
the relevancy of the remarks OF Mr. &. TO the subject
before the committee
Mr.. CUSHING said that they were just about as re-
levant the Fertilization bill as those of Mr.. Adams
to the Army bill. The members OF the committee
had tit TO indulge Mr.. A. then, and they must tic
content TO hear him MIR. c. now. For, if driven to
it, he could easily evade the point OF order after the
example which Mr.. A. had set, by supposing case,
and 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 lntelli-
gencer contained a written speech of Mr. Evans, OF
the Senate, made 25th of July, 1912, in which the
President is spoken of as 'the coordinate Department
of the National Legislature" MIR. G. had not used so
strong expression this. lie hoped that II gen.
ticmen the other side of the House were not sat
isfied 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-
thorty as George Evans, OF Maine.

"TYLER TOO" is TYLER TRUE.
The President has passed the Rubicon, and for the
fourth time placed himself % IN the imminent deadly
breach 10 stem the onward rushing tide OF Federal
corruption! We must strip John Davis of his mis-
applied prefix, and award the same to JoHs TYLER,
TO whom il appropriately belongs.
We publish the Fourth Veto Message. Ii will
speak for itself We have read IL with uniegned
and unmixed satisfaction. 1t is a noble, manly,
straght-for ard document and must produce favor
able impressions wherever IL is read and considered
candidly and dspassionately Among the democrats
generally should say, this Message is held to be
the ablest and best State paper that has yet emanaed
from President Tyler.
In most trying emergency, the President has
eynced firmness and decision of character, OF the
true Roman stamp In the midst OF the most niiam-
matory propositions and menaces on the part OF the
factous Hotspurs of a rIin-makng Congress, he has
without hesitation boldly up TO the high mark
of duty. The honest of all parties will applaud his
inhexible devotion to principle The Message Is an
argument that cannot be materially affected by the
empty sophisms and the quibbling evasOns of the
whole fraternity OF housing politicians" Come
what may, John Tyler, in this matter, will stand
gueless before his countrymen.
The Revenue bill sent To the PRECEDENT was sad
died with Distribution, for the vilest Of purposes The
Clay destruciives deliberately framed the bill with the
design OF involving Mr.. Tyler the depths of dis
grace if he signed it, and of rendering him the sub
ject OF indignant denuncatIon and obloquy, if he

This We have grounds for saying, 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 neverh eless
agree with President Tyler, that "What they most of
all require Is system of moderate duties arranged
as to withdraw the Tariff question: far possible
from the arena of political contention" Mr.. Gushing
likewise concurs in the same opinion.
An overwhelming ma ority of the American people
will thank John Tyler for staying the hydra-headed
"bIl of denominations"

THE VETO.

1t is not our province, were il our disposition, TO
discuss the political character of the Veto Divers
sentiments are entertained, both to its motive and
its bearing. What weight the reasons, which the
President has cogenty presented to justify his course
should carry, is determined by each individual very
much according to his preconceived opinion of the
man and his subject. All agreed in this howev-
err that the abominable system of 'Ior-rollingn e-
gisaton, under which New Jersey has suffered will
ind no favor at the hands of so resolute an Executive
as John Tyler. Whatever different opinions our
readers may form of the message IN other respects,
doubtless all will arrive at this that il is the ablest
state paper that has emanaed from Nh TYLER since
has succession TO the Presidential office We will not.

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 calcua-
ted to ensure for it 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 &C.
sources of the Government needed. Not only is
the land fund needed, but all the revenue which a
well adjusted tariff will give, is needed to support the
Government IT appears that the entire proceeds of
the lands for the last six months is only 500 900.
Under the terms of the Distribution sct nearly one
half of this goes to the States in which the land sold
situated, and the remainder is then to be distributed
among all the States What pitiful sum is this to
have created so much contention.

ton bring US the Presidents Veto of the Tariff and
Distribution bill We regret we not lay the Mes
sage before our readers this week-t is fair and s-
tsiactory expose of the Presidents objections, and
we feel assured will convince every candid reader of
the proprlety of ms course.
Messrs. Fillmore, Crttenden, Archer, Sc, have
now an opportunity of carrying their threats into
cution We could infer nothing else from their Ian
guage than that if the President should Veto the
abomlnabe measure they then had in the process of
incubation the Wings would permit the Union To fall
to pieces the Government to be suspended, or some
worse evils to come upon the country. Such were
in substance the sentiments lately uttered by these
individuals. Thank God tnsy have not our destiny
in their hands The people of the United States,
however their interests in some regards may be- and
are affected by individual opinion, nevertheless
capable Of taking of themselves, and fail
to visit with reprobaion those who forget their duty
to their country.

ed measures presented for their approval, and there
were threats TO break up the Union--to reduce
the Government to beggary and nactlon No, It has
been reserved for the party who adopted the tasty and
sentimental banner of skins, to utter sen-
ments unbecoming Americans and eXcusabe only IN
