 Mr. Tyler, the acting President of the little more conspicuous than any of his pre- decessors, appears to think it necessary to assign his reasons, not only when he vetoes and rejects any bill that has been passed by both Houses of Congress, but also when it happens to suit his taste to sign a bill. We copy from the New York Express, the req sons which the President says induced him to sign the Apportionment bill. and which are deposited with the bill, in the archieves ot the Department of State.

 THE REASONS

 "In approving the bill, feel it due to myself to say, as we'll that my motives for signing it may be rightly understood, as that my opinions may not be liable to be miscon- strued or quoted hereafter enormously as . precedent, that I have not proceeded so much upon q clear and decided opinion of nag oaon respecting the constitutionality or po- licy of the entire act, as from respect to the declared will of the two houses of Congress.

 "ln yielding my doubts to the matured opinion of Congress, have followed the ad- vice of the first Secratary of State to the first President of the United States, and the example set by that illustrious citizen upon a memorable occasion.

 "When was Q member of either House of Congress, acted under the conviction. that 10 doubt as 10 the constitutionality of a law. was sufficient to induce me to give my vote against 1t but have not been able to bring myself to believe that doubtful opin- ion of the chief magistrate ought to outweigh the solemnly pronounced opinion of the Re- preSentatives of the people of the States.
