MECKLENBURQ JEFFERSONIAN;
TUESDAY SEPT. 21^ 1S41.
Wc arc requested to state that W illiam D.
Ai FXANDEK. the present Register for Mecklenburg
Oountv. will resign his office at the October County
Court.
Congress adjourned on Monday, the 12th
instant, after a session of three months and a half.
We shall endeavor to collect up the fragments for
our next, and show what they have done, what they
}iave 7iot done, aud the cost to the country.
Mr. Rhctt's Letter.—The Letter of the Hon. R.
O. l^iiKTT, of S. C^, on oLir first page, will be road
with interest, It is a scorching commentary upon
outrageous ivvanny practiced by the mnjority
in the Mouse of Representatives at the late Extra |
Session, and will show to the People how complete- |
Iv their Representatives in the minority have been |
grgged, and the freedom of debate suppressed. Ne- I
^Ti^ln the history of this Government, have such
daring assaults been made on tlie inestimable right ,
of free debate, and Mr. Rhett is not alone in his de
nunciations of the tyrants; ]\Ir. Proffit, of Indiana,
n Whig, in a late speech, said :
lie had witnessed tyranny enough thi^ sepsion
to dis'^us! him with man-worship. Talk about the
veto poAver. It could be felt, and seen and held res-
pont^ihle—but the unseen )v^cr—the secrct hjranny
i/'re-wou-'^ibfe mflueuccs p7'acticed upon the ieg-
'j.latior ot the country during this ses.s'wn—it icas
that u'hic/i atarnn‘d him, and put him on hisguaj'd,
and against vhich he had rebelled and irould contin-
v.c to coiitcnd. and the co7ifcquem:e of U'htch ne was
rcadv to meet in any shape."’
The last Globe contains another letter from Mr.
Riir.TT. on the same subject, which we shall copy
into oiu' next
should meet the views of the Executive and answer
the purposes of the Government. Like a band of
Patriots thei/ have carried out the w’ili of the peo
ple, and redeemed their promises in every particu
lar.* But their labor has been for naught. The
iirst Bank bill was jnodified to meet, as was believed,
hke President’s wishes; the second was dra^vn up
"from direct intimations in the first Veto Message.
But yet, the President cannot; it seems, be suited,
aud r»o bt\e can tell on reading the two ?ilessages in
connexion, what his views are. or whether he has
any definite opinions on this subject at all. A
strange position truly, for the President of a great
Nation to occupy,
(From the Lynchburg Ropublian—Dcm.)
Wc have the gratification of announcing that the
attempt to head “ Capt. Tyler” has failed—signal
ly, disgracefully failed. The hite.'Jlying fiscaliiy
lies “crushed beneath the veto,” and the bitter
curses of its disappointed advocatc^s will shortly be
heard from one extremity of the Union to the othei .
They have no longer a motive for “ smothering
their wrath; and we may ther('forr look out fi.*r ono
general burst of federal indignation f. om to
Louisiana. It is perhaps fortunate tor Mr Ty^' ‘
that he is a whig Pre^sident; for otherwise h^- might
be in danjjer of assassination from th(* Bank rayvmi-
to duty in rejecting the first Bank. ^ I
When the second Bank became the eubject of dis
cussion in the Cabinet, Mr. Badger ia represented
as opening the subject as to what Congress would do.
Mr. BMiger said:
“ lie believed they were fv.rfecthj ready to take up
the bill reported by ike Sccretaiy of the Treasury
and pass ft at once. You replied, » Talk not to me
of Mr. Emng-s bill; it contains thatodious feature
of local discounts which I have repudiated in my
message.^^ I then said to yoni> I have no ^vht^ sir^
that the House, having asceriained your views, ^Bill
pass a bill in conformity to then., provided they can
be satisfied that it 'icould arjsicer the purposes of the
Treasury, and relieve the country. ’’
Here the President is represented as utterly re
pudiating Mr. Ewing's bill, because contains
that odious feature of focal discounts.'^ Mr. Ewing
was in consultation when this strong denunciation
of the bill he had prepared was made, and did not
remind the President that the bill was his own—
prepared, as Mr. Ewing pretends in another part ot
hia letter, l)y thcidireclion of the President, and al-
tervvards approved by him. . , . ^ .
But the President again adverts, m his Cabmet
consultations, to the insurmountable objection which
he had to a Bank of discounT. In Cabinet meeting,
when giving instructions to Mr. Ewing to make an
olVort to procure the passage of such a bill as he
could sign, Mr. Ewing represents the President as
asking him, “ What do you understand to be my
permit, he could in that way soften their abuse
of him for differing with them on a single question^
he has by this time, certainlp’, discovered his error..
No 5 he must give to all their measures an unqua
lified approval—must bo\v implicitly to. all the ifian*
dates of their dictator, Henry Clay, or make ^p
his mind to meet the most scurrilous abuse and un
relenting persecution.
No sooner was the first Veto Message received
in most of the populous citjes, than those who, last
summer, were assembled at the log cabins drinking
and carousing, and singing songs in praise of “ Tip
pecanoe, and Tyler too,” again assembled at their
old haunts; but, instead of praising the President,
they dressed him'up in efBgy, which, after march
ing about to the tu^e of the Rogue s March, the
‘•bead March,’^ &c., they burnt on a gallows.
This was done at Albany, N. Y., Columbus, Ohio,
Louisville, Ky., Nashville, Tenn., and various oth
er places. The details of these outrages, published
lirom Kariia.—Advices from ill-feted Fiorii

cer of this morning. They are. pertectly in chnrac-
tev with their author^. jM r. ('rittenden\'t letter speaks
the language and the spirit ot a gentleman ot ele

of a vulgar, malignant, disappointed partisan, reck
less of the respect due to the relations which asso
ciated liim with the President and the Gov’ernment
—reckless of honor, truth, and deccncy. Mr. Lw
ing violates the seal of confidence which, through
alf time, has kept inviolate the private Cabinet coun
cils which the Cliief Magistrate, holds with his fee-
cretarirs. The very name of Secretary is derived
from the fact, that the head of the Government
makes them repositories of Uissecret councils. This
sacred principle, which can alone make the consul
tations held in the PresidenVs Cabinet free and un
reserved, Mr. Ewing has violated, not only as it re
gards the Chief Magistrate himself, but the other
Secretaries who participated in these confidential
deliberations ; and this has been done from the most
t;ie second veto is vie wed

President\s rei>\y, thus: That they might author
ize such Bank to establish office of discount and de
posit e in the several States, with the assent of the
States.-'* To this you replied, “ DonH name discounts;
thoy have been the source of the most abominable cor-
niptio)is, and a/ e tchoUy unnecessary to enable the
Bank to discharge its duties to the country tind the
Government.''^ _
At'ter this explanation, anotlicf inhibition
of ail discounts by the emphatic expression, “ Don't
name discounls. they have been the source of the
most abomniable corruptions,” what are we to think
of a Secretary who would propose a bill giving the
most absolute power to the corporation to discount
bills, and to create branch establishments in all the
States, to do this most odious kind of discounting,
and without their consent? In one of its fundanien
tal provisions, the bill was repugnant to the main
features of the first veto—and in the other, was in
the teeth of the instructions by which it was propos
ed to exclude a Bank of discount altogether. I\o
man knows better than Mr. Ewing, that a great por
tion of the suspended debt which sunk the late Bank
of the United States like a millstone, gr~ out of dis
counted bills of exchange. Has Mr. xj inng forgot
ten one of those famous bills of exchange drawn by
George Poinde.rter while at Philadelphia, a Sena
tor, and serving the Bank, on General 'Powson for
.i^lOOtlO, which became the subject of newspaper
com’ment, because the General denied the authority
to draw ? This famous bill was but a sample of that
abominable corruption to which the President refers
in his remarks. And yet Mr. Ewing drew up his
bill to re-establish this whole system of “odious dis
counts ” and “abominable corruptions”—pretends
that the President approved, (when hidden in the
phraseology of a charter,) what he had denounced
in Cabinet council, and charges him with treachery
lor putting his veto on the power in the lant bill,
which lie ifad condemned by his veto on the first, and
what his instructions had denounced betbre the new
bill \\ias framed to “head him.”
We do not believe that any President was ever
surrounded by more artful perfidity, more heartless
treachery, than Mr. Tyler has been and the game
of his persecutors now is to turn their ov.-n crime.s in-
to'accusations against him. The indignation we teel
at the rapacity, crueltv> nnd treachery, which hunt
ed-“old Tippecanoe^''' do'nn into his grave,—now
that we find it all raised to hunt down ‘‘ / i/ler too.
—has drawn from us this hasty repulse. The Dem
ocratic party owe iMr. 7yler a deep debt oi gratiltide
tor arresting the “ Tarquin strides’’ ol the Bank pow'-
er, and we should be faithless to their cause, it we
did not lo what we can to defend him wlien assailed
on this point. It must notbe interred, however, that
it is our purpose to enlist under the banner ot the Ad
ministration. The new cast of the Cabinet almost for
bids the hope that Mr. Tylcv has come to the deter
mination to devote hiniseif to restore JefTersonian
Democracy. He was bred in that school, and we
would be happy to welcome him back to it. iXoth-
ing short of the* adoption of the simple, pure, strict,
orthodox doctrines ot Tiuwicis Jcffvrsod can e\er
command the support of the Democratic partj, oi
the press which it sustains by its patronage. ^ Xo
scheme, vesting Government rights in corporations
—no hanking iiTonopoly—no taxation on the part of
the Federal Government, to support the extrava
gance of corrupt State politicians—no distribution
of national favors, to prostrate State independence,
and consolidate the Union, can ever be tolerated b}
the honest party which maintained, in the Independ
ent Treasury, the principle that the powers of the
General Government and its means were specitied
and appropriated bv the Constitution, and w’liile the
first were inalienable to a Bank or any other corpo
ration. the latter were alike inalienable to Stales or
sensibilities of a moral people. It is not pretended by
these traducers of the President, that he has been
unfaithful to the Constitution. Oh, no!—but that
he has disappointed Tin: tarty—the Federal par-
fy j__by Vetoing the Bank Bill, he has nipped in
the bud the fond hopes of thousands of these log-ca-
bin loungers, whose designs were, by speculation
and fraud; to live whhout labor upon the industry
sin, tho Feileral Whig papers have already com
menced shooting their envenomed arrows at him.—
They may as well forbear; for the character and
principles of Judge U. are like gold, the moie they
are rubbed, the brighter they will shine.

It originated between Mr. Wise and jNIr. ; throurhout Mississippi and parts of Alaba-
Stanlcy. T'he latter had, as is his custom, abused
the former in debating the Diplomatic Appropria
tion Bill. Mr. W^’ise went to Mr. Stanley in his
seat, and demanded a retraction of the offensive lan
guage, which S. refused to make; whereupon Mr.
W. slapped him in the face with his hand. The
balance of the scene is thus described by tlie Re
porter for the Intelligcnccr :
A violent fight followed, and. in less time than it
can be described in this report, a scene of mingled
uproar and fight, sucli as the Reporter in many years’
experience'has never witnessed on tlie floor of the
House, ensued. Messrs. Wise and Stanly were
lost to the sight of the Reporter in the general rush,
wiiilst Mr. Arnold, of Tennessee, and Mr. Butler, of
Kentucky, were noticed in a violent personal strug-
n-le, striking at and grappUng with each other. Mr.
Dixon H. Lewis, and Mr. Gilmer, and others, were
seen in the midst, endeavoring to quell the*‘distur-
bance, wliich had now reached a point at which it
seemed impossible to arrest its progress. T. he
members had rushed from all parts of the Hall,
some rushing over and others standing upon the tii-
bles, literally piling themselves one on the other,
and several canes were seen by the Reporter raised
up as if in the act of striking. The Speaker duriug
this time liad resumed the Chair inlbrmally, but no
one paid the least regard to his voice, and he called
in vain on the officers, none of whom were observed
by the Reporter, with the exception of the door
keeper, who was endeavoring to close the doors and
window’s against the crowd from without, who at
tempted to rush within the hall.
Tiie general melee (of whicli the Reporter was

'■] he last veto of the President, we are happy to
perceive, confirms the inference drawn by us from
tiie first—that he will sanction no corporation
whicli, according to the construction of the Federal
party, can arrogate a supremacy over the power
which gives it birth, and abrogate the inalienable
attribute of legislative authority, which is essential
to maintain the sovereignty of the people, because,
in preserving all its own powers unimpaired, suc
cessive generations can act through it. But it one
.'ongress can grant privileges and incorporate them,
and exclude successive Congresses from repealing
the acts by which they are conferred, the result
would be that the people’s representatives might
t^trip themselves of all pow'er by conferring uncon-
avance. and „ , • i

The present veto is a perfect guarantee, we think,
against any irrcpealabh Fiscal Agent, and if we
do not mistake it on this point, then the Presi
dent has cut the gordian not of Federalism. He
has cscaped its meshes and all the insidious guile
with which the people have been approached, that
the toils of a Bank oligarchy might be thrown over
them, has been practised in vain. That Mr. Tyler
has been the instrument of this great deliverance of
the people, must be looked upon as his greatest good
ibrtune, and he has ahvays been fortunate.
(From the Raleigh Standard—Dem.)
The second Veto Message of President Tyler ap
pears in our columns to-day. He has not disap
pointed the hopes of the friends of constitutional li
berty, but has earned for himselt a reputation that
will be coeval with the history of our republic.
Whatever parties may be arrayed on his side, or
however vindictive may be the opposition to him, he
may cherish the assurance that posterity vvill rank
him among the greatest and best of incorruptible
statesmen, sincere patriots and public benefactors.
We do not think he has done all that he might have
done to benefit the country. But he has done enough
to convince mankind that his conduct is governed
by patriotic principles and purity of purpose,

More than a month ago, when \\\^ !'*resident res
tored the Democrats whom ?\Ir. Ewing turned out
of the Land Office w'ithout authority, w'o predicted,
in an ariicle of the Globe, that Mr. Ewing could on
ly remain in otTice himself alter this just rebuke, that
he might betray the Chief Magistrate who had as
serted liis right.s and maintained his pledges in pre
venting this proscription. How truly we had judged
of this^ man’s character, the event show's. But we
had knowm him of old, and our prediction was but
speaking from experience.
That one, who did not hesitate to sacrifice to party
interest the sacred confidence to v.diich his honor and
character were plighted, on entering the President’s
Cabinet, would, in his p.v parte revelations, bear
false testimony, when falsehood was essential to
make good the objects he had in view, none could
doubt. And accordingly, upon the face of this let
ter of Mr. Ewing, there are abundant traits of what
lawyers will call a willing witness, when they mean
to describe an interested and betraying one.
Contradictions appear on the face of Mr. Ewing^s
epistolary deposition, in essential points, which tho-
rouo-hly disprove the whole scope of its statements;
and7 instead of establishing the charge of treachery
on Mr. Tyler, fixes it on the front of his ungratefu
accuser. ^ ,
Mr. Ewing admits that the first Bank was vetoed
“ on pure and honorable motives,and ‘‘ a conscien
tious conviction that it conflicted with the Constitution.^^
The gronnds of that veto were, that Congress
had no right to establish a National I5ank to operate
per se throughout tlie Union; that the proposed
charter derived this right from Congress, in deroga
tion of the consent and rights ol the States. The
further ground was taken—that a discounting Bank
was unnecessaiy as a fiscal agent. These grounds
would, in Mr. opinion, justify the belief that
i Pr^isdent was actuated by conscientious regard

mg notice of the new Cabinet i.s from the Richmond

says of the Cabinet be true, Mr. Fvli.r has been
more fortunate, and showni a greater leaning to-
w’ards his old Democratic associations in the selec

Forw’ard, of Pennsylvania* is but litilg know*n out of
his own State. That fact alone is sufficient obj«^c-
tions to liis filling the important department of the
Treasury. Mr. Legare, the ne\y Attorney Gene
ral, is an able man and protbund jurist. He was a
Jackson man, and only ve?V recently a member of
the Whig party—if, indeed, he ever belonged to it
strictly. He was more properly a Conservative.
In truth, the new Administration is likely to become
the tesselated pavement described by Mr. Burke,—
here a black spot and there a white one,—a large
admixture of Jacksonism,—a copious sprinkling of
Calhounery—but little or no Whiggery in the whole
concern.’^
The Raleigh Register “ hopes for the be.^^t,"'
though it “fears the worst'' from the new Cabinet,
and says that Mr. Webster has published a card, in
w’hich he states his intention to remain in the Cabi
net for the present, at least.
Spirit of Federalism.—If Mr. Tyler has ever
entertained the hope, that by partially giving in to.

Whig Economy.—Whon, in 1831, the Whigs
obtained power in ^Maryland, there was a surplus of
more than thirty-five thousand dollars u* the Trea
sury. Now the State is in debt over seventeen mil
lions of dollars ! The history of their reign in
New* York and Indiana tells the same sad tale, and
another Whig Legislature or two (judging from the
last) would place the people of North Carolina un-
derthe burden of a heax*y public debt, to be paid by
high taxes.
Another Revolution,—The elections just over in
Vermont, for Governor and members of the Legis
lature, show an astonishing revolution in favor of
Democracy. Harrison’s majority in 1840 was up
wards of four thousand; and now, if the Democra
tic candidate for Governor is not elected, the few
scattering votes only will defeat him. Atter giving
all the returns received, a correspondent of the Bos-
ion Post says.
“By these returns it will be seen that the demo- j
cra^ic net fi^ain sincc the clcction last year, over ti^ i
whin* voto, is EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY-THREE ; adding the abolition to the
whit' vote, it is thiiteen hundred and sixty-six; and
thisln the “ Banner County ” of the State, which
orave Harrison four thousand majority ! ^
” As far as fieard from, the democrats have gamed
tight members of the legislature, and in several towns
which last year elected federal representatives there
is this year no choice. The tow*ns heard from last
year, elected 32 w’higs and G democrats, this year 22
whigs 14 democrats.
