MISS DIX, THE PHILANTHROPIST.

This remarkable lady, who is devoting her life
to works of benevolence and mercy. spent several
days in our town last week, on visit TO our public
institutions. The Institution for the Deafand Dumb
and the Blind, and the Asylum for the Insane, were
thoroughly examined by her; and we are truly graf
liled to learn that in all respects, they met with
her most unqualified appreciation. There were some
things, indeed, in both Institutions, which entitled
them, In her opinion, TO peculiar and pre- eminent
credit. In regard TO the Asylum for the Insane
for instance, she remarked that she had no where
found such comfortable provision for the worst or
more uncomfortable class OF patients-This is GER
'alnly high compliment Miss DIX has spent
The last eight years of her life in visiting the Insane
Asylums, Public Hospitals, Poor Houses, and 9TH
or benevolent institutions of our country, and has
done much by her efforts and counsels for the anne
Iteration OF human misery. At the late session of
Congress, Memorial of thiriy-two pages, octave.
was presented TO the Senate, from her, praying for
grant OF land for the relief and support Of the in
dIgent durable and incurabe Insane in The United
States, which embodies a vast amount of valuable
and important information.-And as evidence Of the
interest which it excited, we need only state the
fact that 5000 additional copies Of the Memorial
were ordered to be printed for the use of the Senate
Miss DIX is lady of delicate person, grea. plain
ness and simplicity of manners, quiet and unob,ru-
sive' and has countenance expressive of the pur-
est benevoence. No one can look upon her, in.
deed, without feeling that she is fitting accent for
the works Of mercy in which she is engaged. Nav
heavens richest blessings attend her!

GOLD TACK is COMING 20

having been shouted by soldier, who came gal
looping up through cloud of dust at critical pc
Rod OF the day, sis appropriate just now, (rcmarks
the Baltimore American,) in the chaos Of confusion,
ds'rust, and alarm, in which the political elements
and the public mind of the country are involved"
fes-in the midst OF the rage and tumult of fac
tons, accordant only in purpose of mischief, and
equally threatening the peace of the country, and
the purity and pcrpetui,y of our republican ns,i,u-
tons, let the animating cry be repea,ed-"OLn

of Buena Vista, he will turn back the threatening
tide of battle, and give victory to his country!

THE VETO POWER.

MI JEFFERSON, in his opinion given TO Presi

the bill establishing National Bank. saws .rThf
negative of the President is the shield provided bv
the Constitution TO protect against nvasions of lbe
I'egislature-lst, of the Rights of the Executive
md, OF the Judiciary Sd, of the States and State
Legislatures" And again he says, sit was chiefly
Tor occasions where the Legislature are clearly mis-
led by ambition, error, interest," that the Consti
tuition has placed check in the negative of the
President"
Mr. ). NJ. PATTON, we observe, in a late speech
before the Democratic Association of Richmond
gives new phase to this power. According TO the
Compiler, he made the following singular declara-
ton
at (the veto) had been denounced as a s.kinolv
power, and Mr.. Clayton in his speech had de.
cIared that veto by Queen Victoria would cost

Me reto IS hingty po1ccr-bm in o,n RepubIic.

The President, the Representative Of the Peo-
pie! This is certainly not the doctrine of the old
Republican fathers.-T'he Legislative branch of the
Government was regarded by them as the "popn-
t", and the Erecutive as the more ':permanent. -
The first had all their confidence. and all ,be;r on
IcItude, while the latter was the constant object If
