All doubt is over. The President has taken tho
responsibility, and the Bank Bill is vetoed. We
could hardly bring our mind to believe that such
would be the result but the appearance this morn
ing o. the Presidents Message TO Congress, return
Ing the A" Fiscal Bank BIl,'' with his objections
which we received by Carpenter & Harris's Ex-
press, has put the matter to rest.


We see nothing in this message TO recommend it.
II contains views but reiterates two or three
old thread bare objections against the establishment
of Bank. His first for not signing the bill
is,he consulonaity of Bank is an unsettled ques-
tion and that he has taken open ground against
Bank for twenty five years "An unsettled ques-
tion' This is really strange language for chief
magistrate of these Uuted States to use at this late
day of history. If this question IS not settled,
how can any question Of constitutional law.
become settled II has passed through all the forms
known to our Constitution. The Legislative, Ex-
ecutive and Judicial departments have time and a
gain given it their anxious deliberaon, and decided
in its favor. Is there weight in all this' What
power in our Government to settle constitutional

If the Bank question Is not settled question,
then no question of natonallaw ever become
settled under our Government As to what pri
vae opinions the President may have entertained
upon this or any other Constitutional question for
the last twenty-five years, unable to see
what they have to do with his action as President
of the United States.


He has sworn 10 support the Constitution not
as his private opinions dictate TO make it conform
his twenty-five years practice. but to support it
as it is as our forefathcrs made it, and as con-
strued by the Supreme Court, the power to which
the final settlement, o: such questions is given.
We have no time to day TO examine further the
Executive objections. We exceedingly regret
the President has felt called upon to take the
course he has, bat entertain not the slightest
doubt of his perfect honesty and his ardent de
sire TO do right.


In this situation ofmatters, it becomes the du
ty of the Whig party oact with the utmost
prudence and forbearance 1t is the desire,
beyond doubt, ofPresident Tyler to do right
he only msaPprehends the point of duty. Keep
cool, and all may yet end right


In respect to the results of the Veto upor
the action of the Cabinet, Congress, and the
people, we leave for our readers to speculate
upon. We trust, and indeed we have authori-
ty to believe that prudent counsel will prevail
