tUnshinrton and Congress composed mainly
of the trainers of the Constitution, Madison, and
the Democrats of ls16,-Monroe and Crawford,

this weight of authority we have only to add that
Gen. Jackson has at least twice affirmed the con-

sistency of these men during the present Con
gress, and since the adoption of this article,
the Locofocos haze attempted "to interfere with or
control the domestic institutions of the" State Of
Rhode Island, in a manner most grossly insulting
10 the people of that State!

1.-THE constitution contains clause distinctly
providing for the security of the right of the States
to the public domain, and the idea held out that the
lands have been seques tered to National objects
is gross falsehood: We have only to add that in
1883, locofoco Congress passed Mr.. Clays land

lit is not true that the veto power is qualified
as merely to enable the President to defeat bill
"until the judgment of the people can be obtained
thereon" If it were so-if the will of the people,
according to the old fashioned Jef1ersonan rule of
acquiescence in the will of the majority could over
rule King Veto, the Wings would say Amen to it
most heartily. Belt remembered, then, that Loco
focoism endeavors to sustain King Veto by fraud
upon the people,

doctrine of J. X. Polk himself in 1929 and of J. c.
