LET THE WAR CEASE.

We have long been Of the opinion that the war
which has been wsged with such herceness between
some Of the Democratic presses aud those support
ing or favorable to the Naturalization, CEASE
We have considered that the good Of the party the
great cause of Democracy, requires that the toma-
hawk should be buried and that il was "high timer
the calumet should be passed around But the fact Of
having ourselves at one time struck fierce and bold
as Of the most fiery in tie ranks, has caused US
matter of delicacy TO refrain from giving utter
ance to this opinion for some time after we had
formed il. We do not condemn this war in its in
cepon aud early course but we do think that the OBJ
ects in view at that time have been attained The
action of the Senate against those struck may now
be considered certain. We have sometimes thought
that the side in whose ranks we have mustered have
not shown enough of chatty 10 the President himse II
that they should have attributed more to unin-
territorial error and less TO that which was inten
tonal. But we repeat, let the nctc cease. We
shall need all our strength to meet the common foe
lie is binding up his oins and preparing for the con-
test while we are quarreng among ourselves Strong
he undoubtedly is, deep designing, and governed
by cunning tactics, must present a solid, perfect
front or resistance will be vain. This contest
has been extended INTO the ranks Of true Democrats
by the unwise dcnunciatiUn of such men as Nelson
Henshaw, Rantoul Greene &c, whose conduct has
been such as for them better things from the
mouths and pens of true Democrats. Feeling poll
cy Justice demand, that far least as this class
is concerned there should be q truce. But we must
not be mistaken. II the same cause the
same propriety Of speaking out again, shall never
fail of or be recreant TO our duty, but shall express
our real sentiments, be they what they may Ii the
Democrats of the Senate do not their dtp,ir-f the
Wing majority are recrean to their professions lei
them be put under the scourge but until the time
for such action comes, we say, let there be peace
Let Wings delight to bark and bite,
For God has made them so,
And let the Clay men growl and fight
For It's their nature too
But Democrats, YOU should not let
Your angry passions rise,
Your TOUT STRONG HANDS were never made

THE VETO QUESTION

Some Of the Wing presses are busily engaged in
denouncng the veto power They Say, that they
conducted the last Presidential campaign upon the
avowed principle of restraining the veto. We care
very little what they say this subject. One thing
is certain, they ought not TO object 10 our showing
boldly that the Democratic party have resolved upon
hosting the veto flag &c as the Wings say their op-
position TO the Veto filled their sails in 40, with
good breeze they ought not To object TO the Demo-
cratic party at this carly day. giving notice that they
going to the battle field upon the propriey Of the
veto OF the United States Bank.
This Bank veto, is the great question now open for
contest, between the two opposing political parties.
President Tyler made the issue, and the Wings have
denounced 1t, and in their papers publicly declare
their hostility TO the Tyler veto BE It so. As it i
one Of the great points Of dispute between the Clay
Wings and the Democrats, are willing to 90 be-
fore the people To test its popularity President Ty-
er's vetocs, have gwen new life to the Democratic
party, and we go confidently into the Presidential
contest with them conspcuously floating upon our
banners. II these yetoes, " two stars Of mighty
promise" had not risen IN political armament
nee the last Presidential campaign the Democrats
would not at this time haze very large a majority
as they now have in the Representative Chamber Of
the National Legislature.
We therefore go for The Tyler Bank veto-agains,
the anti-yeto party.

intended in unkind spirit, towards Mr.. Tyler We
the Madlsonian that it is mistaken, and that
we even ventured 10 soften down some Of the ex-
