wealth. The seduction is said to have been et-
c,ed under promise marriage. and under circumstance
Of peculiar hardship The probability is that the defendant

THE VETO QUESTION.

Some of the Wing presses are busy engaged in
denouncing the veto power. They say, that they
conducted the last Presidential campaign upon the
avowed principle of restraining the veto. We

is certain, they ought not 10 object to showing
boldly, that the Democratic party have resolved upon
hosting the veto flag. II the Wings say their OPP
position TO the veto, filled their sails in 40 with
good breeze they ought not TO object to the Demo-
cratic party at this early day. giving notice, that they
going to the battle field upon the proprety OF the
veto of the United States Bank.
This Bank veto, is the great question open for
contest between the two opposing political parties.
President Tyler made the issue, and the Wings have
denounced it, and in their papers publicly declare
their hostility 10 the Tyler veto. BE it SO. As it is
one of the great points Of dispute between the Clay
Wings and the Democrats, we are willing to go be-
fore the people to test its popularity. President Ty-
ler's veoes, have given life to the Democratic
party and we go confidently into the Presidential
contest with them conspicuousy floating upon our
banners. IL these yetoes, A" two stars of mighty
PROMISE" had not risen in political armament
nee the last Presidential campaign, the Democrats
would not at this time have so very large majority
as they have in the Representative Chamber Of
the National Legislature.
We therefore go for the Tyler Bank veto-oganst

A SOLILOQUY.

The sprightly and face,ious editor Of the New
York Commercial Advertiser fancies that De-
mocratic applicants for office reason thus with
themselves:
" IL Mr.. Tyler is nominated by the Democratic
party, he must be elected by that party-ego, | am
safe IT, per contra, Mr.. Van Buren, nominated and
elected, am his friend and consequently equally
safe. If peradventure a Wing is elected, then hold
Office for two years, which least glorious nib
bic, if not an actual bite"
Only two years if Wing is Ell, cted Think
again, sir. Since you have been read out of
the Clay party by the Courier and Enquirer,
we are certain you design to have Judge
Mclean, Judge CASTOR, East or any
other Wing" rather than Mr. Clay
We'll, we would ask, " How are you to 60 about
itW Will you not find it necessary 10 add a
Democratic slice TO the Clay party, which you
intend TO show is (of itselD in hopeless minor
ity, and thus secure the election of your favo-
rite 2 And will your candidate, whoever he
may be, turn out Democrats? Surely, if one
Of your Wings is elected, the Democrats will
hold Office mere than "two years"

The Madisonian is pleased to notice the extracts
which we have made from the Globe as if they were

assure the MadsOnian, that il is Mistaken and that
we yentured 10 soften down some Of the ex-
pressions in,the original. We can also assure the
Madsooian, that having defined our position, we have
not the slightest desire to our remarks, or to
create any false prejudice against Mr. Tyler" Nay,
will frankly go further, and say, that II Mr. ~

We are inexpressibly delighted TO understand

it was too harsh with President Tyler, whom

those principles from ruin, at least disastrous

thought ii was harsh treatment on the part of
Republican journals who professed TO be under
such great obligations to Mr.. Tyler for his We

We are glad, for the sake of justice and pro-
priety, that the Enquirer has " ventured to soften
down. the Globes harsh remarks. But we
dread the consequences. The Enquirer occa-
sonaIy inserts Government advertisement,
aud it may be that the Imperator of the Globe
will some day say it is in the "pay Of the Ad-

then proceed TO "ride over it rough shod" and

AS for the 'powers Of the Government" be-

particular candidate" we propose some of these

among the friends Of all the candidates. The
friends of Mr.. Van Buren, have no right to com

they should rather utter theirrcomplaints against

As for The Enquirer's generous promise, we
think ii was made in the same word, Just be-

"ELEGANT EXTRACT.n

We desire to start the following choice morceau OF
press. 1t may be found in the N. Y. Courier & En-.
qurer, of December a. 1890, and is from the classic
pen Of Col. James Watson Webb-here it is:
"They Ohe national republican wing party look
to Henry Clay, who, by one act, consummated more
to the dishonor Of the country than whole life OF
Gen. Jackson, if placed at the disposal of ene

the United States to John Quincy Adams, and reccv-
ing in return the appointment of Secretary of State

AN IDEA
The Globe copies the following very good para
graph from Plymouth (Nlass) paper
The men who in political life are frank, free
above disguise, aud without intrigue, are not unfe
quen,y termed, by The ariful and designing dctators
Honest and Independent in their opinions the better
and more valuable portion Of the community express
on public questions their true sentiments, without
stopping to consider consequences How often IT is
mat such course, which deserves commentator
and respect, is perverted and msrepresened by poll
ucai hyPocrItes and unprincpled schemers! IL the
individual who honestly aud boldly expresses his OPP
mons, is IN position to attract notorietyif he is
connected with the press-f he is in public life-os
II he possesses great influence which he does not
abuse, there will be sly and malicious ISLANDERS against
HIM, by bad men, for mischeyous purposes"
The idea set forth is good but how advocate
Tor Mr. Van Van Buren, could, at the very moment OF
advocacy, copy it with approval, cannot imagine
u s. Gazette.
The idea being 'good" in the Gazel,e's est
nation, must be applicable to Mr.. Clay, who
has been called DICTATOR. If the Gazette
would only imagine the Globe is not in reality a
true and unconditional advocate for Mr.. V. b.,
would ii not solve the mystery
