DEMOCRATIC altogether. The President being
more decidedly the representative of the people
than the peoples Representatives, he should
when he thinks prNPer, veto their aets,--,his too
is DEMOCRATIC. On this subject Gov. Shannon
was exceedingly pointed. We are told said tho
Governor, ''Ihnt Gen. Taylor will no, veto any
bill cons'ilutionally passed by Congress. Now
let US see how exceedingly RIDICULOUS this must
prove, il true. If we have whig Congress
their Bills will be sanctioned by President Tay-
lor, and thus he is whg. If we have Dem.
ocratic Congress, their bills will be sanctioned
and thus he would be democrat. If we have
a Free Soil Congress, their bills will be sanction.
ed and thus he will be Free Soil President
Can any thing be more rdcuousl" So argued
the Governor. Whal think you Of this, wings
of Carroll. If your Representatives in Con-
gress should have their acts approved by the
President, these democrats tell you, NOTHING
WOULD BE MORE RIDICULOUS. 1t is RIDICULOUS
for whig President to approve the acts of
democratic Congress. 1t must co., rsO, be
RIDICULOUS and preposerous for a democratic
Presidentto to approve the acts of whig Congress.
1t must be RIDICULOUS for Gen. Cass, pledged as
these orators admit him to be, against the Will
mot Proviso, to approve Bill passed, by your
representatives, embodying the principles of that
proviso.
tis RIDICULOUS for you TO expect the appro-
val of any whg or free soil measures by this
DEMOCRATIC Lewis Cass. With such anti-re-
pubcan--such Outocratic' doctrines avowed
openly and boldly, would it not bs infinitely
more ridiculous for the people TO place this
Lewis Cass in the Execetive chair?
We have not tune to notice these democratic
speakers farther. Both the speakers admitted
that Gen. Cass is bound by his pledge and by
the Baltimore platform, to veto any bill exclud-
ing slavery from our new terrtories--and if sup
ported by you, it must be with this pledge be-
ore you. Think not therefore, thai there is
any hope for whjg measures, any hope for free
soil measures, if you elect Lewis Cass.
We need say nothing ofrhe Impressions made
on our mind of the ability Of the speakers. As
to the Governor, we must say that, having seen
and heard him, we are no longer surprised at
his being "wruen down''--and sent home from
his mission 10 Mexico "wIh a FLEA in his" "by
