STILL ANOTHER VTo.-The French
Spoliation Bill, which PISSED both Houses
OF Congress. has bed returned by the
President, with his reaons for Withholding
bis sanction. We haze not seen the mes
sage, but the Pittsbrgh Commercial
Journal" classes the Pesident's objections
as follows: LIST. No money in the Trea-
snry. I'd. II the clans were just, why
were they not paid lonl agol Sd. When
it was necessary, from surplus moneys in
the Treasury, TO deposie with the States,
those claims should havt been paid, if ever
4;h. The Congress do nj know what they
are about and 5th. lie Mexican War
will demand all our mony.


As to the first objeciio, Of the President,
il will soon be obviated. rovded ;heADem-
ocra,ic doctrine. OF reducng the tariff, in
creases the revenue. A to the "a objec-
ton, Congress had inveIigated the mat
ter, and passed the bill,which would not
have been done, unless hey thought the
claims just. OF twenty-five reports made
by committees of Congress, in reference
TO these claims. twenty-five Of them have
urged their payment. TIER no; having
been paid long ago, is nsreasOn why the
claimants should be deprived Of their just
rights, even at this late day That they
ought TO have been settled lonsago, j. most
true, for during the tendency Of these
claims before Congress. many ot he claim
ants have gone down TO their graves in
penury and want, and through tbs inierpo-
sition of Mr.. Polk. many more arelikely TO
do the same.


The 9TH objection, 'thai Congress do not
know what they are about" appears rea-
sonable enough, for if they did, thy would
have passed the bin, yihe constitutional
majority, over the Presidents veto. The
5;h objection, the President has nulliiicd
by his own act. in asking an appropriation
Of tlro millions Of dollars, for tht purpose D,
purchasing the peace, we were 10 conquer
from Mexico. From the belIiserent tone
OF the Presidents Organ, we we're led to
believe, that we were not only o conquer
peace, but really 10 chastise Mexico, un.
I'll she agreed TO pay the eHPenss We hai
been at in thrashing i. out Of he,. Verily
these are great times, and great man i.
James X. Polk.
