vijto .iiuss.vui;. To th llov.se if Itqitescnlathcs rf the Vnitcd States. It is wllli extreme regret thnt 1 foci myself flnstraincd by the iliity faithfully 'o execute t lie effico of President of the United .Stale', nnd tn tho best of my ability "to nrc-crie, prtcc', and defend the Constitution ofthe United State," to return to that House in which it originated, tho bill "lo provide for the better collection, t; ,fo keeping and disbursement of I lie public reii'iiiie by means of a corporation, to bo styled the Fis. eal Corporation of the United States," with my written objections. In my message cnt lo the Ponalo on the 10th day of August las', returning Ihn bill "to incur potato the subf-crihersto the lncil limit oftlif United State.'," distinctly deehrn.l tint "my own opinion has boon uniformly p-oe'ln'iti'nl to bongaimttho excrrir-o of the power of Con. grass to create a National Hi ik to operate fr $4 over the Uuion," and entertaining that ojnn ion, my main objection to tint bill was bucd upon the highost moral and religious obligations f conscience and the Constitution. Ireadly admit, that, whilst the qualified Veto, with which tho Chief Magistrate; in invested, hould be regarded, and was intended by the wiso men who made it a patt of the Constitution, an great conservative principle of our system, without the exercise of which, on important nc caeions, a mere representative majority might nrge the government, in its legislation,' beyond tho limits fixed by its framers, or might oxert its just powers too hastily or oppressively, yet, It is a power which ought to be most cautiously exerted, and perhaps never, except in a cae em inently involving tho public, interest or ono in which the nithoflha l'rci(.ent, acting tinder his convictions both mental and mnr.il, imperi ously requires its exorcise. In such a case he has no alternative Ho must either exert the egative power entrusted to him by the con. titution chcifly for its own preservation, protec tion, and defence, or commit an act of gross mor el turpitude. More regard to the w ill of a majority, must not in a Constitutional Republic like ours, con trol this sacred and solemn duty of a sworn offi. cer. The constitution itself I regard and cher ish as the embodied and written will of the whole People of the United States. It is their fixed and fundamental law, which they unani mously proscribe to tho public functionaries their inero trustees and servants. This their will, ami the law which tlmy have given us as the rule of our action, has no sruard, no guaran tee of preservation, protection, and defence, but me oatiis winch it prescribes to pumic. otticcrs, the sanctity with which they shall religiously observe those oaths, and the patriotism with which tho people shall shield it by their own sovereignity, which has made tho constitution supreme. It must bo exerted against the will of a mere representative unjonty, or not at all. It is alone in pursuance of that will, that any measure can reach tho President; and to say that because a majority in Congress haio passed a bill tho President should therefore sanction it, is to abrogate the nowcr altogether, and to ren der its insertion in tho couti;utiou a work of absolute supererogation. The duty is to guard tho fundamental will of the people them-ehes from in this case I admit unuitontion n change or infraction by a inijonty in Congress ; anil in that light alone do 1 regard tho constitutional duly which I now most reluctantly discharge. Is this bill, now presented for my approval or disapproval, such a bill as 1 have a ready declared could notrecoivo my sanction ! Is it such a bill is calls for the exercise id the negative pow er nnder the Constitution ! Does it violate the Constitution by creating a iVatioml Umk to op erate per se over the Union 1 Its title, in the first place, describes its general character. It is "An act to provide for the bettor collection, iafe keeping audditbursement of the public, rev enuo by means of a Corporation, to be styled the Fiscal Corporation if the United Sta'cs." In stylo then it is perfectly nation il in its charac ter. Its powers, functions, and duties, are those that pertain to the collecting, safe-keeping and disbursing the. public revenue. The means In which these are tn be exerted, is a Corporation, to bo styled the Fiscil Corporation of the Uni ted States. It is a created by the Congress ot the United States, in its character of a national legislature for tho whole Union, to perform tho fiscal purposes, meet the fiscal wants and exi gencies, supply the fiscal uses, and exert the fiscal agencies of the Treasury of the United States. Such is its own description of itself. Do its provisions contradict its own title ! They do not. It is true, that by its first section it pro vides that it shall be established in tho District of Columbia, but the amount of its capital tho manner in which its stock is In I e subscribed for and held the persons and bod.es corporate and politic by whom its stock may be held the appointment of its directors, and their powers and duties its fundamental articles, especially that to establish agencies in any part of the Uni ted States tho cori.ori'.e piwers anil business of such agencies the prohibition of Congress to establish any other corporation, with similar powers, for twenty years, w,lh evpress ru.-orv-.t-tion, in the same clause, to nimbly r create any bank for the District of Columbia so that theag. gregate capital shall nut exceed fhe millions without enumerating other feasiircs which are equally distinctive and characteristic clearly how that it cannot be regarded as other than a Bank of the United Mates, with power seem ingly inure limited than have been heretofore granted to such an institution. It operates per se over the Union, by virtue of the unaided, and in my view, assumed authority, of Congress as a national legislature, as distinguished Iroin a Bank created by Congress for the D. strict ol Columbia, as the local legislature of the Dis trict. Every U. R. Bank hrretofo. j created, has had power to deal in bills of Kxcango as well as lo cal discounts. Iloth wero trading privileges conferred, and both exercised by vutue of Hie foresaid power of Congress over tho whole Uu ion. The question of power remains unchan ged, without reference to the ex'out ofpnvilfge granted. If this proposed corporation is to lie tegaidcd as a local Hank of tho District of Co. lutnbia, invested by Congress with general pow ers to operate oicr the union, it h obnoxious to still stronger objections. It assumes that Congress may invest a local institution will, general or national powers. With the same propriety that it may do tins in regard to tho dis trict of Columbia, it may as to a Stato l'ank. Yet, who can indulge the idea that this (Severn tnent can rightfully, by making a State Haul; its fiscal agent, invest it with absolute and unquali fied powers conferred by this bill 1 When I come to look to the details of the Hill, they do not recciinmend it strongly to my adoption.' A brief notice of some of its provisions will suf fice. 1st. It may justify substantially a system of d's. counts of the most objectionable chcracter.lt is to deal in bills of exchange drawn in one statoand payable in another without any restraint. The bill of exchange may have an unlimited term to run, and its rcncwabihty is no wharc guarded against. It may, in fact, assume tho mo-u ob jectionablc form ! of accommodation. It is not required to rest on any actual, real, or sub-tan. tial exchange basis. A drawer in one place becomes the acceptor in another, and so in turn the acceptor liny becomo the diawer upon a mutual understanding. It liny at the snnu time indulge in mere local d.scounM under the name of bills of evchan'e. Abilldriwn at Phil adelphia on Cam len, New Jersey at Now York on a bonier town in iSew. turkey at Cm cinnattion Newport, Kentucky, not to multiply other examples, might, for any t.,mg in this bill to restrain it, become a mere matter of local ac. commodation. ("Mies thus relatively situated would possess advantages ovor cities otherwise situated, of so decided a character as most just ly to excite dissatisfaction. 2d. There is no limit prescribed to the pre miumin the purchaso of bills of exchange, there, by correcting none of tho evils undor which the community now labors, and operating most in juriously upon the agricultural tS'tatos, in which lb inequalities iu the rates of exchange are most severely felt. Nor am these tho only con-' ecqimiiccs : .i resumption rf specie piyinentsby tlm Hanks oi those states, would bo liable to in definite pos'ponoinent for, as tho operation of iiiu.igciir.ic8 in the interior would clnclly cm. sist in selling bills of exchange, and the pur chases couhl only bo made in specie or tho notes ofspecio paying banks, tho .State H.anks would cither haio to continue with their doors closed, or exist at tho mercy of thin national monopoly of brokerage. Nor can it bo passed over with out remark, that whilst tho Dislr ct of Co'.umbii isj'iiade tho seal of the principil bank, its citi. zens are niinicu troni all iiirtir.ipHtion in anv benefit it might affird, by a positive prohibitioi on the btnklroni aj discounting with.n tho Die tnct. These are some of the objections which nrnttv incnlly exist against the details of tho bill, others might bo urged ol much force but it would be uniirnmatiie to ilwoll uiion theni, SuuVuitti add, that litis charter is designed to conlintu1 Mir momy years williouta cniiipolitnr tliatitir defeits lo which I have alluded, hem r well foun. iled 'lithe fundamental law of the Corporition, nre irrevocable and if tho objections bo wel founded, it would be ovor hazardous to pass the bill into a law. ' In conclusion I take leave most respectfully to say, that I have telt the most anxious solici- tune to meet the wishes of Congress in tho adop tion of a Fscal Agent, which, avoiding all cos. stitutioual objections, should harmonize conllic ting opinions. Actuated by this feeling, I have been ready to yield much, in a spirit ol conciliation, to the opinions of others. And it is with great pain that I now feel compelled to dif. fer from Congress a second time in tho same session. At the cnmnie-iccinentof this session, inclined from choice tn defer to the legislative will, I submitted to Congress the propriety of aoopnng a risen Agent which, wilnuut viola ting tho Constitution, would separate the public inoiify mini executive roiitro', perlorm the op rations of tho Treasury without being burden some to the people, or inconten.'ont, or cxpen. sive to the Government. It is deeply to be regretted, tint this Depart ment of the Onvernment cannot, unon Constitu tional ground, concur with the Legislative De partment m this last measure proposed to attain these desirable objects. Uwmg to the brie space between the period of the death of my la. inented predecessor and mv own installation in. lo office, I was, jn fact, not left tuno lo prepare and submit one of my own, m my regular mes sage, ann since, my mind has been wholly occu pied in a most anxious attempt to conform my action to thelegislatiio will. In this conimuni- cation, I am confined by tho constitution to my oojections, simply to this bill, but the period of tho regular session will soon arrive, when it win do my duty under another clause of tin Constitution ";o give to tho Congress informa tion of the state of tho Union, and recconimond to their consideration buch measures as 1 shall judge nceccssary and expedient." And I rno-l repcstfully submit, in a spirit of harmonv. whether tho peculiarity of my situation does not entitle me to a postponement of this subject to a mure auspicious pernul lor deliberation. I ho two Houses of Congress havo distin guished themselves at this extraordinary session, by the performance of an immense mass of la- bor at a soa-oii very unfavorable, both to ho.i th and action ; and have pasr-ed many laws, which, I trut will prove highly beneficial to the lnior- n.sus oi me countrv. anil fullv answer its mat ex pcctations. It has been my gojd fortune and pleasure, to concur with them in nil measures except this. An I whvshunld our differences on this alone be pushed to cxtromos ! It is my anxious desire that it should not be. 1 too. have been burdened with extraordinary labors of late, and I snicerolv desiro tune fur deen and dulib. crate reflection, on this the greatest diliculty of my administration. May wo not no.v pause, mi- til a more favorable time, when witli tho most anxious hope that the I.xccutivo and Congress may cordially unite, some measure of finance may bo deliberately adopted, promotive of the goo.l of our common country. 1 will take this occasion to declare that the conclusions to wliirh I'have brought myself, are llmsc ol a settled conviction, founded in mv opinion on a just view of the Constitution. i hat in arriving at it, I have been actuated by no other motive or desire, than to uphold the in stitutions of tho country, as they havo come down to us from the hands of our Uo'd-like a'icestnrs and that I shall e.-toem my efforts to susta.n them, even though I perish, more honorable than io win tno applause ot men by a sicnhco of on duty and my conscience.

The will of the Peo ple lias been deliberately, repeatedly thwar ted and rendered utterly powerless by the act of the man they selected to aid in car- rying it into cltect. 11 this bo not a most flagrant abuse of thu Veto power then it would be difficult to conceive a case in which it might not bo made the plea for tho most absolute and unrelenting tyranny. How was President Tyler guided in this by the example of the "republican Father's" whom he invoked on coming into office ? Was not James Madison one of this illustrious band and lioiv did lio act in a precisely similar emergency t Although strongly opposed to the charter ofa National Bank, as decided ly as John Tyler can be, and although quite as "conscientious" and in every way as scrupulous in doing what ho deemed his du ty as the present Executive, yet he yielded his personal judgment to the decision of the Supreme Court, the ouly authorised inter preter of the Constitution, and surrendered his pi ivato wishes to the welfare of his coun try. But it is quite useless now to specu late upon the cause and motives of President Tyler ; through malign influences nnd in an evil hour lie lias acted in opposition to the will of the People who elevated luni to pow er. He cannot expect hereafter llieir entire confidrnco or cordial support. Tho couise which will be purjuod by the Cabinet and Whigs in congress with refer ence to this last veto, is a matter of consid erable anxiety. A week ago close and well informed observers at llie metropolis declar ed that tho Cabinet would resign nnd the par ty would present a fnll front in open and strong opposition to the President. Now, however the feeling is to say the least more moderate ; for the highly conciliating tono ef the message and tho clear conviction thai upon every point except that of a National Bank the President is every incli a Whiff, havo taught tliem that forbearance may after all be tho more honorable course. The Wliigs have everything to lose and nothing to gain by division in their ranks ; and there is thu best reason to believe that this disagree ment bet-.vfieu the President and his friends has been in a great mcasitro promoted by the recent plots of the Loco Focos who have spared no occasion to urge on the troubles lo an open breach. I would comment! to your notice), upon this puint.a series of grave and able articles which havo appeared in the Na tional Intelligeucer respecting the letter-writers from Washington. There is a rumor in town to day that Attorney General Crit tenden, has already resigned his scat in the Cabinet, and that his associates had ii in con templation to follow suit. If this bo tho case there can bu little hope of preserving the in tegrity of ihe party. We shall undoubtedly be better informed before 1 close this letter. The affray in the House between Wise, and Stanley,which yen will have seen in the Washington papers, is certainly ono of iho most outrageous acts which have disgraced our Congress for many years. It will, how ever, undoubtedly bo overlooked and forgot ten. There is a deep and settipil anxiety both hero and in Wellington, concerning our Fo reign Relations. There has been recieved information hero direct from Sir John Har vey, who came out iu thu Briltanuia, stating that two days before he left London, lit lodrned from tho Colonial office that de spatches had been prepared to Mr. Fox in structing him to demand the release of Me I,od and in rasa tins not craqUd to ask, Ins passports immediately. Tl.lsdcrivcs con. urination, fioin a report which reaches uf from Washington, to the effect that Mr. pox had called upon thu President, and informed him thnt ho should soon lay before him des patches ofthat character. Rumors fromtho North, too, of quite ns exciting a nature pour in abundantly, but it would be of littlo ser vice to repeat them. There is no doubt that at his trial which occurs upon the 27th of the present month, testimony strong at perjury of the blackest die, and of the most reckless character can make it, will be brought forward to convict him. What will bo the result cannot ho foreseen : a few weeks, however, will and very likely a few days may make tho whole matter clear. Tho speech of John Quincy Adams, in the House upon this supject of tho McLeod dif ficulty goes directly against tho whole action of our government upon the question: hit opinions whatever may bo tlio result to which they load arc entitled to the higheit and most respectful consideration. Treachery has at last done its work : tho machinations of the most selfish and unprin cipled clique that over had influence with an Executive have triumphed over tho patriot ism and honesty of the law. The Intelligen cer of yesterday states that before its next ii stic the CiniNET will have been dissolved, and the best hopes of Iho Nation will hava been blighted. If there bo a heart in tho country that rejoices at this, it must be of one stupidly blind to the good of tho nation or wilfully traitorous to its best interests. The great mind of Webster, in whom the whole people felt tho strongest confidence, and to whom they looked for the preserva tion of our national honor, is to be withdrawn from the President's councils and his place occupied but never filled, by sotno Virgin ian skilled in the art of splitting hairs, and whoso education has taught him no distinc tion between obstinacy and conscience, I cannot perceive any ground on which Pret ident Tyler can longer expect the support of the Whig party. He has deliberately cut loose from their leading men, has disappoin ted their best hopes, proved perfidious in all his dealings with them, listened to the coun sels of the open enemies and taken for hit guide the advice of a small knot of traitort who desire nothing so ardently as tho com plete destruction of the party which has giv en them all the importance they possessed. He has scouted the great measure of financial reform they have proposed, in direct viola tion of pledges not only implied but solemnly avowed and proved himself not ouly traitor ous to their wishes but ignorant of his own. A more imbecile, wretched, unffficaciotit at well as perfidious policy than the one he hat atloptcd can scarcely be conceived. There can of course be no farther hope, and I ar dently trust no farther disposition, on the part of any Whig to follow in hit wake, or share any portion of the responsi bility of his acts. In the House of Representatives the Mes sage was received by a powerful and mott bitter attack upon the President by Mr. Botts. He adduces proof the most direct that .Mr. Tyler has acted in direct opposition to his ex-pressed promises and that his course from first to last has been crooked treacher ous and base. He is one in whom no man of any party can put the slightest confidence. Wo have no accouni of the debate, in the Senate. What precise course will now be adopted by the Wliigs in Congress can scarcely bo conjectured. Thcro is good reason to" be lieve that upon the adjournment tbey will publish a strong Address to tho people of the United States, setting forth the condition of affairs and suggesting n cause of iiction. Yours &c. Vermont. DISSOLUTION OF THE CABINET. The tidings brought by last night's mail front Washington, confirm our worst fears as to the consequences of the Second Veto. The Cabinet of Gen. Harrison the ablest cabinet assembled at the Capitol since the days of Washington is dissolved. The Se cretaries of War, Navy and" the Treasury, the Post-Master General and tho Attornev General, have re-ignod, and Air. Webster only postpones his resignation to complete some ponding negotiation growing out of the McLeod question. To fill the vacant placet in the Cabinet the following gentlemen have been nominated to the Senate: Judge Upshur, of Virginia, Sec'ry of the Nary. John McLean, of Ohio, Sec'ry of War. Walter Forward, of Pcnn., Sec'ry of Treasury. Hugh S. Lcgaro.of S. C, Attorney Gen eral. For Postmaster General Chas. A. Wick liffo of Kentucky, will probably bo selected. Rumor has not yet named Mr. Webster! successor. Of the complexion of the new Cabinet, farther than to say that the mem bers arc all taken from thu ranks of the ad ministration, wo mean not now to speak. Our present purpose i to express our deep regret a regret in which every Whig of tho Empire Statu will participate at the circumstances which have driven from office tho men whom the Ununited Il.inmso.v se lected as his constitutional advisers, Tho arbitrary exercise of the Veto power, by President Tyler, bad enough "per st,' becomes well nigh intolerable, when we reckon among its consequences tho dissolu tion of General Han isoti's Cabinet.
