JOHN UILL, 0 E. D. From the Augusta Constitutionalist. The Veto Power. This right arm of the Presidency hav ing escaped the amputation to which (du ring Mlr. Tyler's administration )M1 wa condemned by the Wnig party, has since that time continned to be an object of jeal ous interest. Their present candidate has consented to assist them. if elec+ed, in doing that indirectly, which they cannot do directly." by allowing the dreaded member to grow powerless by disuse. The necessity of this power to the sym metry of our constitution was forcibly de monstrated in an editorial in the Constitu tionalist, under date of June 14th. As, however, it is a cardinal Whig doc trine, adopted several years ago by the great emnbdirnent," and sustained as the one principle of the present candidate, we may be excused for a luller investiga tion of its merits. Its utility, as a part of the constitution, to the States in general, will be our first object of inquiry. To the Southern States, however, form ing an actual, though tot a formal division of the Republic, this is one fold in the quadruple shield behind which the consti tution has deposited the rights of minorities We would remark, in lirnine, that as it is an existing institution, the presumption is in its favor. As it was made a part of our constitution, with all its restrictions and limitations,, by the framers of that noble iustrutnent, without a dissenting voice the united weight of their authority is adeled to this presumption. If, therefore, the ob jections urged against it are answered. the power stands erect without farther support. But its positive and practical advantages furnish an argument from principle, stron ger by far than that derived even from such authority. We will endeavor to show the arguments which commended its adop tion to the reason of our ancestors, any then the ample vindication of its utility which has been given by experience. The distinction between the Executive, Judicial, and Legislative departments has been clearly drawn it each separate re public which composes our Union, and in the general government itself, .it is the principle of all, and the express provision -_ - .--'' rnm'Jer of the separate States, without a word to restrict its exer cise to cases of "unconstitutional" or hasty legislation." it is safe to concludo that its framers, with their attention par ticularly directed to the very point shun ned, made no omission of any material or intended qualification. This power was not given to the Exec utivo simply as a means of self defence. This was one, but not the sole object. It is necessary to the stability of a Republi. can Jovetnment-founded as it is upon the will of the people-that this tbill should be mature-and deliberate before it results in actions The Senate serves, to a certain extent, the purpose of checking its irregu lar or precipitate operation. But in the Federal Government, and ninny of the States, this was deemed inqufficient. We accordingly find the power which either branch of the legislature possesses, of neg. ativing the proceedings of the other, ex tended to the Executive, enabling him to negative the proceedings of both. This is a "high conservative power," yet it has been So guardedl and hedged in from abuse, as to lbe safely entrusted in the' satme hands, in which the confiudence ol the people reposes the E xectutive aut hotrity. Let us exarQjug-, aaa,.en h T er2%1Ij"the^hands to which it is en trustedi. . Tihe power is merely flgatitve. Ir is on hy operative as a prevetive. So far a! the veto is concerned, the President has er origitnating power, but controls under cer, tain restrictions a power derived from an other source. Whatever obtjectin ma' be urged to Executive influence int othea respects, it canniot be said that tis pouti tends to enlarge it. This negative, however, is qttalfied. There are varitos provisiotns for overrulin~ it. The first provision is summnary, ena buing two-thirds of Congress to pass a law~ over the head of the President. If Congress fails to do this, a virtual ap peal is made to the people at the next Pres idential election-to be decided, on the aiv erage, in two y ears If. however, the ye. to power is exercised in the earlier part ol the Presidetnt's term, this direct appeal mna be postponed for lour years. But int itn place there wilt ite vene at conigressiona election. wvhich tay secore, in case of flagrant abuse of the power, the requisiti majriiy of two-thirds. Such an abuse wvould'indeed furnisl ground for a diff'erent appeal, by an it. peachment of the Presideti. The H-ouse of Representativ'es, which must originati the impeachment, and the Senate, wvhicl tries it, are both opposed to the Presiden in their views, as itndicated in their passagi of the bill he vetoes. If there is anty bias it is therefore against him. As the concurrence of two-thirds oif the Senators present is necessary to conviction however, this appeal could only be -mad< when the requisite majority oif two thirds e.xtsled in the hSenate, but was wanting il the House. If, however, the abtuse wae ohvinnsa and gosamid the Snate wn, wanting in its duty, there would be. durinj a portion of the term at least. n possibilitl of such a change in its members as woulk rectify this neglect. The above guards, together with his oI emnt oath of office, are directly interpose( by the constitution in the way of any wan ton exercise of this highest Presidentia function. But there are indirect checks almost at efficacious. Every exercise of the vet< power necessarily incurs the disapproba tion of a majority of Congress, the moai influential body in the nation. If the lou ses of Congress should not faithfully re present the opinious of thepeople, the Pres ident would of course he justified in hit negative. If the mnajoily of the people however, together with the mnajority o Congress. are in favor of a measure, ho% powerful must be tho convictions whicl induce the President to oppose it. li would he a s'ep too unpopular, to be un necessarily taken. His reputation-his oath-his hope ol re election-his dirct responsibility by im peachment-the hostility of Congress-all warn the possessor of this power to be consderate in its exercise. And if all these fail, there are various modes provided of overruling it-one, sumnary--;nd the other to be tried at farthest within fonr years. And, we may here observe. that few cases would ever arise in which the postponement could cause serious injury. in extreme cases, as of war, invasion. &c., the responsibility of a veto upon the ac tion of Congress. would reach a fearful height which no President, would be wil ling to assume. The power of abuse has been shown to be small, the danger of abuse great, and the means of rectifying it abundant. Now, what are the temptations? Slight indeed. 'What prrAi can he made from it ? It is a negative power. It can give the President no patronage. There is no pe cuniary gain to at enrl it. There is no popularity to be gained by opposing the will of Congress-unless, in fact, Con gress misrepresent the people, in which case a veto would be justifiable. Much may be lost by an improper use bf the power-rarely can anything he gained. We come uw to consider the second of the Legislajye (which ett teds from the operation of very obvions-causes, to swallow up the other divisionsof tliegnv. ernment) doubtless found a ni".co among the tnotivCS For endowing it withithie veto. The depository of this power should be the Representative of the People, and elect at such interval as fairly to represent their deliberate changes of opinion. The peo ple should know his opinions, as they know those of their representatives in other sta tione, and have like checks over his con duct. _These.etids are secored by tie mode in which the President is elected. He is a representative of a majority of the people -his views upon the subjects on which te will he called upon to act, receive by his electi'n, the Sanction of the people-and powerful guards are thrown around him to prevent faithlessness. That it would he dangerous to trust any single man with positive legislative powers, is too clear loi argument. But the qualified negative givet to the President, furnishes atiothei security of arriving at the true will of tht peopl:-a second test-a sort of double re, presentation. The President is more nearly andl di rectly the Representative of the people o. It U.liion, tan is either house oh Cotn ~gress. AiiTiga. the Senate; this is per fectly clear. The eTin 'evenaf- em hiers of the House of Representatives. thi popular branich, is miore aff'ecued by Ioca and temporary circumastainces, than tha of the President. lHe is supported on nat tional grounds, while freglnenatly riiembert Iof Congress r.we their electioan to persuona popularity int the smaller' sphere of thei c onstat ueney. An additional reason fair singling out ths President, rather thtan any other, as th< depository of this trust, is foundt in the f'act that it secures his hearty co-operatiotn ii executing the laws. As no law-s can bi passed which he- considers pernicious o dangerous-unless by' a majority whici might well stagger his faith in the cotrreci ness oft his own opitions-he will heel -hi zeal in their execution strengahened-in gee eral b3 his conviction of their policy. To cnnclude on thais pontt-the Preuidetn has the most ample mteants of acting ad visedly by consultation with his cabinet and the gepresentatlives of the people11i their national council. A calm, a dispassionate consideretton a these reasons would seem to show that-i Ithere is a single power in the hands of tha President wbich can he retained, withou hazard to the Republie, it is the veto pow er. It met 'he unanimous support tin it present- form) of t he framers of t he consti tution. The reasons for it, apart from ex perience, are powerful and convincing.

Mr. Calhoun's speeches are very brief, rarely occupying more than thity minutes in the delivery. t is interesting sometines to see the dif ferent individuals gef out of the same dilemma. Mr. Calhoun is not often at a loss for t word, but occasionally, one sticks in his throat, in the'pronunci.tion, like Macbeth's "Amen!" In such a case he gives~a petulant twitch or two at his shirt collar, and runs his bony fingers through his long gray hair till it fairly *bristles again. Webster, wvhen bothered for a word, ot snarled ~up a sentence, almost invaria bly scratches the inner coinrer or his lefi eye, careftully with the third finger of htis i ight hand. f'ailing in this he rubs his nose quite fiercely with the bent knuckle of his thumb.
