THE VETO POWER.

The federal papers war cry is, down with
the veto power, a power which they denounce
as Monarchical, and which no men but dem
agouges would assume; and its destiny would
lead TO end and danger among free and en-
lightened community. The Presidents who
assumed the veto power were as follows: Gen.
Washington, the Father of his country, has
assumed the high and self important power
Mr.. Madison has assumed the power; Mr.
Monroe has assumed the power Gen. Jackson
has assumed the power; John Tyler, the Wing
President, has assumed the power, and James
K Polk has assumed the power. The vetoes
are chased as follows: The Father of his
country exercised the power on two occas.
sions, the last one on the Bill to alter and
amend an act TO fix the military establishment
of the United States only three days before
his term Of office expired. There have been
four vetoes on the Bank of the United States,
one by Mr.. Madison, one by Gen. Jackson,
and two by John Tyler, the Wing President.
There have been seven vetoes on Internal In l.
provements, in different forms, one by Mr..
Madison, one by Mr.. Monroe, and four by
Gen. Jackson; and Gen. Jackson's veto on the
bill to distribute the proceeds of the sales of
of the public lands among the several states,
James X. Polk on the Improvement of the
River and Harbor Bill; and eight vetoes on
different small bills, which excited no public
attention. Then during the peliod of fifty
nine years since the first meeting of Congress
under the constitution of which more than
seven thousand Legislative acts have passed,
only twenty two disapproved of by the Pres-
dents, of which our Presidents were composed
of the ablest statesmen in the Union Now
under the name and language Of Gen. Taylo
these wise and able statesmen have violated
the laws of God and man and trampled the
Constitution under foot by exercising the veto
power to extremes; a man who it Is acknow-
edged by his own party papers, never read the
constitution of the United States, and 'is a
mere lgnoramous in state affairs, and fit only
for the station he occupies
