America the number of our seamen and by conse
quenes, the naval power Of Amsrlsa will be vastly be
back We hardly have conception OF the great and
sudden changes that have occurred II go back 80
wears we find that Holland had more tonnage than all
The rest Of the wodthat is than all the Of Europe
for the tonnage of the East al that time know not
much about yet Holland had less tonnage 100 Years
than the port OF New York this yeara great deal less
New York has more than Holland had then, when
she had more than half the shipping OF the civilized
world and going ahead faster than ever before
A liberal commercial policy fosters this growth and
Strengthens this strength and makes ready for war-
prepares us for We furnish foreign nations what
they do without and become IN turn their best
customers We have reason to expect that they will
wish to go to war with We might well expect
them to cut of their right hands but if madness takes
possession of them trade makes strong to gapple
with the British lion, and overthrow other power
that may stand up against loud cheers)
Gen Cass being in favor OF liberal commercial inter
peace and union with the world. 1.-THE speaker here
paused but there loud cries of Ego on" from all
parts OF the housed Though ought not go on hav-
ing occupied too much Of your time, and respassed
much upon your patience yet before resuming my
will make a few remarks upon the veto power The
wing party favor of Gen Taylor because if elect
is appointed to perform certain dunes II is said that
Gen. Taylor will not influence the legislation of Con-
gress Won't he' Then he will not be President, for
the constitution makes it his duty recommend to Con
gress such he thinks it advisable to adopt
He is bound to lay facts before them and suggest what
should be done 1t is part Of his duty to Emo
constitution makes il the Presidents duty, If he approve
IT, TO sign the bill and if he does not approve IT, 10 re-
turn Il TO the House with his oblecions he Is opana
so 10 do-and now the wings say he will not ! nave
better opinion of Taylor. General Washington We
toed bill under which now lvIng-a bill when
is the law Of the land-a bill appor'ionlng repre-
senalio Gen Taylor has not studied thus subject more
carefully than others. When he says he will not veto
bills unless they unconstitutional we are eil IN me
dark because he also informed he has not had time
to inform himself of the constitution. Should he be
elected he will do all others have done before him,
and all others will do after him. This cancelling the
veto power like all other whg doctrines. II is hum
bug and amounts nothing He does not know whether
a bank is constitutional. He has not formed opinions
upon other subjects or course he woId not veto these
things if unconstitutional because he has not formed opn
ions; therefore he would not veto anything But in
point of fact he would be governed by the rule
the other presidents II Congress did nothing wrong
why have President of the United States : The clerk
of the House Senate could sign the bills An import
ant duty, gentlemen, remains for you to perform;
have only to say that every should examine these
questions for himself don't believe that all the con-
science is confined to any party There are consci-
entious in all parties Let them do conscience
Dictates and if every does that, know what the
result will be- On the 4th of March next Gen. Cass
will be inaugurated President of the United States.
