they may hope 10 receive or enjoy, Of social
security, to their own independent and
manly ~eiergies-; but the Texan, Senate
rejected IL because the request for a
nexation had been made by vote OF the
people and not by action Of the Texan Con-
gress. To the Texan President, therefore
was left tho responsibility OF recalling the
request.
lhis volume closes with an account Of
tho immediate consequence OIL, Tyler's
veto on September Q. 1871, of the, FL scal
Corporation bill. which represented the
second attempt to rcestabIish an ~,equiva-
lent Of the United States Bank. Two days
later the Secretary of the Treasury, the
Acknowledgement, the Secretary oil War
and the Secretary Of the Navy resigned.
Webster remained In the Cabinet, so he
informed the public, bscause he saw no
reason for the voluntary resignation OF
It's members and because il he had seen
reasons foe resigning he should not have
done 90 without giving the President fair
notice. Tho letter Of the Attorney General,
John J. Crittenden, was brief and to the
point. He resigned, he said, because of
the veto. The letter Of Ewing, Secretary
of tho Treasury, was long and. after
fully stating the history Of the preparation
Of the two bills-that providing for,s Fiscal
Corporation and lite predecessor providing
for a Fiscal Bank--charged the President
with what amounted to treachery. That

done in the session Just closed. what had
not been done and the, reasons for the
failure. accused Tyler Of having wrested
from the Wings one OF the best fruits Of
a long and painful struggle and read him
out Of the party. BY the veto of two sue
cessive bank charters, by the withdrawal Of
his confidence from his real friends in
Congress- and the Cabinet, by his besto wal
of it on Others notorious for their opposition
to Wing measures he had, the address
declared. separated himself voluntarily
from those by whose exertions and SURFACES
he had been elected and was no more
worthy to be called q Wing. By the Dem
'ocrats, on the other hand, the news OF the
second veto was received with wild delight.
At Philadelphia and Boston it was vel
coined with the discharge of 100 guns.
Caricaturists represented the explosion Of
the Cabinet by the veto, the destruction of
the Log Cabin by the veto and the flight
of the Badger and the Broken Bell, >
while the Democratic press found endless
cause for rejoicing over the humiliation of
Clay and the threatened dissolution Of the
Wing party.
