first ard the wisest, and the GREATEST. The
achievements OF the Macedonian. the Cartae,

away before this glorious achievement oil
Sir Robert Peel, Of throwing open the doors
of nation to bread for It's people. Honor
ed will be the name OF that man IN all time TO
come II was triumph of right and in the right
time. He seized hold OF the spirit OF the age-it
bore him forward-it was the triumph OF hui
mainly and christianity. II was the triumph of
Justice. Mr.. McDutfe has truly said that the re-
10Th century. Ii stands apart distinctly as the
magma charter-the reformation of Luther, or
our own immortal declaration of independence.
IL wasa triumph in the name OF the peopie-for
the good Of the people, and from the voice of the
people. IL is The peoples victory, and Peel was
their honorrd champion. Let HIM retire. He
has accomplished the work of thousand years,
ana IN the name of our fellow citizens, the peo-
pie oil the Gnited States, we assume TO say thus
much in his behalf
We learn that there has been Cabinet Council
upon The River and Harbor Bill to-day, and that
a veto is resolved upon, tor the House on Monday
This bill was before the President pending the
issae upon the Tariff question in the Senate, and
about that time there appeared an ed torial Ia the
Uhion, leading or misleading the Western men
into the impression that the measure would be
approved. After the Tariff bill passed, Father
Richie denies the validity OF this articl the re-
suit for which II was written being clearly
achieved for you must recollect that there are
$400,000 pending TO the Mississippi and trlbu-
taries in this River and Harbor Bill, and half
a dozen appropriations often, fifteen, twenty and
thir Thousands to York STATE Had the veto APP
pea ed before the decision upon the tariff, the
bill OF Mr.. w alike would have been overslaughe ed
fate. Tue same discipline, tact, and
llttle of the egerdemain that secured through the
management Of Mr.. Walker the nomination OF
Polk, secured not The less the success of the new
revenue system. There is not a more accomplish
ed tactician in the world than Secretary Walker,
the very fact of his defeating Van Buren, is evil
dence sufficient to Prove this assumption.
