that any other law will not receive his appro>
val, so that the American tariff is not the tarlff
of the people but tariff of the President and
his party. Again, though expressly forbidden
by the Constitution TO lay taxes, he has, Of
his own will and power, and ia derogaton OF
the power of Congress, made tariff of duties
for the country conquered by the U. States in
the present war with Mexico. He has done it,
too, without even consulting with the Diet Of
the Republic. He has done what the Prussian
King would not dare do, absolute as he is.
Now how is it that these things should be
500 Is it not attributable TO the state of public
opinion in the two countries? We think it is.
Public opinion in Prussia-for nothing else
does-restrains an absolute monarch from ex-
ercising the powers which nobody denies to
him. and he consults and respects that public
opinion by endeavoring to meet its acquisitions
in all things-from the making of a tariff even
up to the framing of Constitution. In the
United States, public opinion deeming itself
secure in the establishment of a, Constitutional
|
reposes too much confidence in the integrity
of the servants whom the people designate to
execute the offices of this Government; and
taking advantage of this very confidence, the
wicked men who are now in power, have
converted our government into an absolute one
as far as it is necessary for them to do. The
paragraphs Of the Constitution are not suffered
by President Polk to come between him and
his designs. They are put aside with contemp,
and the Republic is now governed by an alb
solute monarch bearing the name of President
But public opinion is becoming aroused tc
this state of things. 1t begins to move from
Its slumbers, and its voice is heard in the dis
lance. The vindication Of Constitutional gov
eminent from the dissolution Of President Poll
and his army of public plunderers, is at hand
in the person Of MAN whom Our Lord God il
heaven, hath raised up, in his glorious Provi
dence, to save his People, that man, Is Zachn.

complaint in Cincinnati at the delay in the

It is said, says the Albany Journal, that the Rich
mond Committee for the Webster dinner refused to
invite John Tyler although he in the city. This
was severe, but just. His presence would have
soured the most savory viands. No one, not thor
oughly imbued with christian spirit, would invol-
unfairly sit down at festive board with so gross
traitor. As he was false while in power, honorable
men will shun his society in private life. a

or The Administration folk seem to think that
the fact of Gen. Taylors having fought his countrys
battles units him for the Presidency. According to
this rule the gallant volunteers who have sacrificed
every thing to their patriotism, should all be disan
chised on their return. We wonder if they'll be
permitted to vote when they come back--they'lI
be nothing but soldiers and, good many of them
crippled at that. What arrant hypocrisy those
men could vote for General Jackson, whose violence
was proverbia and yet are Mortified at the thought
of voting for Gen. Taylor who never offended against
peace or good order in his life. Consistency thou

It's suggested that the President shall recall

He instantly conceived the idea that he had

.Jackson's opinion Of Taylor. A distinguished
Democrat of Louisiana writes to the New Or
leans Delta, that, about the time when it was
proposed to annex Texas to the Union, he
asked General Jackson, if a war should break
out between the United States and Mexico, in
consequence of the act of annexation, who, in
his opinion, could be found endowed with the
right kind Of ability to lead our armies. The
prompt reply of the old hero was, An old plan
ter down the coast (the banks of the MISSISSIPPI
pip is the best man know of, and he will do
it well. Nobly has this Old Planter Zachary
Taylor-redeemed the pledge given by old
Hickory in advance of his eminent abilities.
And the people are now assembling in their
majesty TO place this old planter just where
| they placed the man of the iron will-without
regard to complaints or mutterings of politi-
clans.
A resolution has been passed by the Legis.
lature of Louisiana, authorizing the Governor
to present sword to General Scott for the
