DESERVING the President.

One of the arguments OF those who in

forth great many protests against the
acts of the Federal Government, and his
protests were about as potential with Con-
gress as those communicated to that body
by President JOHNSON. Vetoes, when
overridden by the powerful majority in
Congress, are Of no service to US, while the
example of the author of these vetoes, in
