No Swords Broken, after all!

No Swords Broken, after all!
John Mcdonald, who was Quartermastor to
McArthur's regiment, and accompanied him
on every expedition in the war against Eng
land, has addressed a letter to the HON.. CT
Taylor, which IS published in the State Jour
nal, giving an interesting account Of the ope-
ratlons Immediately preceding HulPs surren-
der, from which it appears that neither Nc
Arthur nor Cass broke his sword, neither being
required to surrender It as the story goes
But if b~,eaking a sword on occasion Of sur
render, be an exploit coveted by Gen. Cass,
by way OF topping out his military fame, he
will by aecommod ated with an occasion after
the 9TH Of November next, where he will
have to give in to Gen. Taylor. McDonald's
account thus concludes:
Sin the treaty of surrender, the officer
side arms, and all private property was seeur
ed to owners. No search was made
for private proPerty-no swords were demand.

We do not suppose that the following par
agraPh from the N. Y. Evening Post, will
have any influence upon those heroes of un-
known wars and unheard Of battles, who 90
Dramatically declare that Taylor was no gem

commanding officer on that occasion, and a.
such be was entitled to the credit of the veto.

Gen. Taylor must have certainly borne The

Fraud.

From what we can learn it seems possible
that the 6 Democratic Association" Of this
city has lately received a large consignment Of
lies against Millard Fillmore in The shane of a
PAM h'ct published b. the L%ocofoco leaders n
New Orleans, We have seen several comics of
it, and find that it gives garbled extracts from
Congressional records, calculated to produce
wrong impressions ia regard to NJ. FilImore's
vote. In some instances a part Of the yeas
and nays are given, and IN others it is merely
stated how Mr.. Fillmore voted on the strength
ofthese statements he is fercely denounced as
an enemy Of The South. There is not the
least shadow of truth in any Of these deduc-
tons. or the author Of this Infamous pamphlet
would not have omitted to state. that Nm. o,
Butler voted Nth Fillmore upon several cues.
tons on which they omit the yeas and nays foi
the purpose Of charging 'abolitionism' on the
latter vita greater convenience. The book
IS a tissue of falsehoods, acknowledged to b,
such by theLoco(ocos themselves, since they're
iusedto accept a challenge from the Preslden
ola New Orleans "Roughand Ready" Club to
discussion Of its pages. The challenge wa
warmly pressed by the friends Of Fillmore. an,

From HE Buena YIsta
Letter from Mr.. Fillmore.

through the politeness Of Mr.. King, of the
Raymond Gazette, We are enabled to lay be-
fore our readers the following letter from Mr..
Fillmore which it will be seen, bears date the
day on which the reported ife-up among the
wings of Albany took place, in consequence
Of Old zack's accepting the Charleston Demo
cratic nomination. This letter does not look
much like his countenanclng that ill-advised
movement, as has been recklessly asserted by
the l~ocoioco press. In oder to enable the
reader to see at a glance both the letter and the
resolutions which he approves, we append the
latter.

missed to disregard his official oath in declaring that
the power of the Executive TO interpose the veto
should be limited to cases of clear violation OF The
constitution or manifest haste and want of consider
alton by Congress-" then must George Washington
| be forever regarded as a corrupt and dishonored
man
Thomas JEFFERSON, likewise, must be discarded
from the honorable remembrance OF his country
men; for he gave it as his opinion that it is chief
y for cases where they he Leglslature) are clear
y mlsed by error, ambition, or interest," that the
constitution has placed check IN the negative OF
the President" and that, even IN question OF con-
stitutionalty, unless the President, on view OF
every thing which is urged for and against BILL is
ToLERABLY CLEAR that il is unauthorized by the
constitution, if the pro and the con hang so even as
TO balance his Judgment A Just RESPECT FOR THE
WISDOM OF THE LEGIsLAruRE WOULD NATURALLY
DECIDE THE BALANCE IN FAVOR OF THEIR OPINION"
The memory of JAMES MADISON, too, tie " father
Of the constitution" must be held in no esteem for
in his special message OF January 80, 1915, he used
these words
"Wavng the question Of the constitutional authority of
The Legislature establish incorporated bank,
PREcLUDED n JUDGMENT REPEATED REcoGs sITIoNs,
under raried circumstances, of pady gf such nst
tuition, ia acts Of the LEGsLArIyE ExEcuTIvE, and JunI
branches Of the Government, accompanied by indca
tlons, in various modes, Of CONCURRENCE
NATION, the proposed bank does appear
be calculated the purposes of revving the public
credit" &c.
And Mr.. Madison, with these views of his duty
under the constitution, signed the bank bill of the
following year. 1t is, therefore, with the full sane
ton of his authority and example, That Gen. Taylor
says the objections of the President ought not 10 be
interposed achere questions o Constitutional po,c
er hare been settled By tie various departments of
the Government and acq,desced in by the people,"
In every sentiment which Gen. Taylor has Ut
tered on this subject he is thus sustained by Wash
ington Jefferson, and Madison, those earlier Pre-
sdents' whose Administrations he has promised
to make the guides of his own. His views may be
denounced by the orators and presses of the modern
Democracyyas being contrary to the principles ofthe
constitution but discerning people will respect the
ancient landmarks set down by the original planners
of our Government, rather than these new metes
and bounds Of power invented to establish certain
political aspirants in possessions which they have
undeservedy attained, and which it is their highest
object TO secure.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
THE VETO POWER.

Ills a remarkable circumstance in the present
.-ampagn that there never was a candidate brought
forward for the Presidency by the Wing party,
against whom there more bitter hostility
waeed, yet against whom his enemies have been
able TO say SO little, as against General TAYLOR.
AS an illustration of this fact, we might refer TO the
speech of Mr.. Secretary BUCHANAN, delivered TO
the Democracy in this city last week. The hon
orabe Secretary was brought forward by his party
to throw the weight Of his influence against the
tide which is setting with such force in favor Of
Gen. TAYLOR in Pennsylvania; yet, when the
Secretary came into the arena, he could not, will
ling doubtless as he was find any thing very objec
tionable to say agains. The General-any more (by
the way) than he could find very much TO say in
favor Of the candidate of his own party. The
blame on the one hand and the praise on the other
was so moderate, that, with the exception of one or
two passages, it would not have been very appa-
rent from the speech Of the worthy Secretary which
candidate he was opposing and which supporting.
If we look to the columns of the official and
party organ in this city, which takes the lead in
opposition to Gen. TAYLOR, we fad that the chiel,
indeed almost the only charges, which it makes
against the noble candidate OF the Wings is, ls.,
that he does not in every letter he writes reiterate
his political creed; and, 2dly, that he denies the
right of the President to nterpose the power OF the
veto, al his mere whim and pleasure, 10 nulify the
will Of the people as expressed through their rep
resentatyes in Congress assembled. In taking
this true constitutional ground, and claiming for The
veto only that conservative purpose designed for it
by The constitution Gen. TAYLOR indirectly, but
unayoidably condemns the lavish, arrogant and
most mischievous resort to the veto which have
distinguished the Jacksonan line of Presidents !;
and herein lies his great offence with the Admin
istraton party. As to the ground itself which Gen.
TAYLOR las taken in regard to the veto, it will be
an all-suiiicenl consolation and support to him,
that he occupies the ground on which WASHINGTON
stood. To establish this point refer the reader
to the subjoined article from the Richmond Times.
