As he mouthed and raved about our clear and un questionable ' right to the whole of Oregon like unto one of Nat Lee's Bedlamite heroes for we caii only call it mouthing and raving, when thebahos of the treaty is known to us, howev er much it pleased us at the time of its utterance, bpcause we believed it to be the yarm language of earnestness and sincerity so has he now vetoed a bill substantially recommended by him self, through the report of the Secretary of War, a highoffirer of his Cabinet. It is true that the defence has been set up for him, that the Secretary, though reporting through the Presi- kdent, really reports to Congress. Granted but thus does not in the slightest degree alter the case. It has always been considered at least, it was in those days when it thought that some degree of profound statesmanship was ne cessary in governing a great nation that a Cab inet should support one uniform policy, as speak-, ing the sentiments of the party whose principles it was appointed to aid in carrying out. Who ever heard of a high Cabinet officer recommen ding to Congress, through the President, a course of action directly 'contrary to that of the President himself, and actually accompanied with the proper estimates as to the cost of car rying it out who ever heard of anything of the kind, we ask, before these days of deception and palpable fraud 7 What President, with a decent portion of self-respect, ever practiced such small intrigue. It is ney in the history of our coun try, ami no doubt found its origin and motive in the desire to deceive some members of Con gress into the support of measures which the Executive feared might not otherwise prove suc cessful. As the great words about Oregon were followed by the smallest possible action, and were intended only to gull honest men, so was the course of the President on the subject of im-" proving harbors and rivers favorable, only with j the design of gaining votes fori the new Tariff j Bill, the Administration not having faith enough j to believ that one righteous I measure could stand without practicing a little falsehood on an- WIT .1.-1 1 other, we most earnestly hope that the uav is to the, belief that there is something in theory it self peculiarly favorable to the prosecution of corrtipt designs, and I wan no better 'evidence to assure me of its utter hostility to the legitimate ends of government.

The Whi in thirty-two counties in North Carolina is 2,142 ovr the last Presidential election. Mr. Gra ham, the present excellent Whig Governor, will be re-elected by nearly double his former majority.

A Locofoco correspondent i of the New York Evening Post gives the fol- j lowing account of the bill, which is, no doubt, j on Treasury authority t ! , 44An examination of the Sub-Treasury has led to the conclusion that it goes into effect im mediately, so far as to prevent; the treasurers or receivers from depositing or keeping any money in thejbanks, or anywhere but inline vaults of the government. It does not require that spe cie shll alone be received in payment of pub lic dues until the first of January! next. But it leaves no discretion1' as to places of deposit. If, as is alleged, the act of 1789 is still in force, nothing but specie can now be received. The balances at present in the banks cannot he transferred to other depositories until first of April next. Such was the intention of those who framed the law; yet so it reads. An over sight inconsistent with dates has been the cause of this jrnistake.
