The members' of the-Senate and House are numerous, and are scattered over thef whole country, whilst the Presir dent is.but an individual confined to the ci ty of Washington.. Their personal influ ence with their constituents is, and. must be, great- In such a’struggle, he jnninly must rely upon the palpable -justice of his cause. Under these circumstances, does it.nutspeak Volumes in favor of the discretion with which the veto' power has been exercised, that it has never once been overruled, in a single instance, since the origin of the Government, cither by a majority of the people in the sev eral States, or,.by the Constitutional majori ty in,Congress?..- U is truly astonishing how rarely .this power has ever been exercised. During.the period.of.mure, thanlmlf a century,which has elapsed-since the,meeting of the first Con-, gress under the Constitution, 6,000 legisla tive acts have been’passed. How many of these, sir, dii you luppuse.have been dispro ved-by the President?- Twenty, sir; twen ty is the wliole number. I.speak from a list now, in. my hand prepared, by one of. the. clerks Of.the Senate. And this number, em braces not merely those hills which have been actually vetoed; but all su-cli as were retained by him under the Constitution, in consequence of having.becnprcsenled.at,so late a period of the session that.he could not prepare his objections previous to the ad journment. Tjventy is t(ie sum total of all! . Let us analyze these veloes,(for I shall call them all by that, name,) for a few mo ments. 'Of the t.wenfy, eight vyere on hills of small comparative imp.oitrince, and exci ted, no.public attention..

There have' been Jour ve toes of a Batik of the United States; one by Mr. Madison, one by General Jackson;, and two by Mr. Tyler.. There have been six. vetoes on’ internal improvements! in differ ent forms; one by Mr. Madison, one by Mr.. Munroe. and four by General Jackson; And .General Jackson vetoed the bill td distribute the proceeds of the sales of the public lands among the several States. TUoso make nine teen. T.he-remainingvetowas by Gen.Wash 'ington; and it is remarkable that it should bethe'mostquestionableexcrciscoflhis power. which has ever occurred. ; L refer to his second and last veto, on the fust of March, 1797, and but three days before ho retired from office, on the ‘‘Act to alter and amend an act, entitled an act to ascertain and fix the military establishment of the United States. I’.' 1 ’.' I n this instance, there was a majority of nearly two-thirds in the House of Representatives, where it originated, in passing the act, notwithstanding the objec tions of the Father of his. Country.. The vote was fifty-five in the affirmative to thir ty-sis' in. the negative.. This act provided lor the.reduction of the military establish-' ment of the country; and the day wilfpro bably never again arrive when any President will venture to veto an act reducing the standingarray ofthe United States. Then in the range of.'time since the year 1789, there have been but twenty, vetoes;, anil eleven of these related; to only three, subjects which have radically divided the two great political parties ofthe country. — With the exception of,twenty, all the ants which- have ever passed Congress, have.ficen allowed to take their course without any Executive interference. That this power lias never been abused* is as clear as' the light of thesun. 1 avk Sen titbrsvand appeal-to-you,-sir,-.whether.-the American, peoplehave not sanctioned every one of the vetoes dn the three great subject? to which I have referred., Yfesi sir, every one, not exceplingdhose on the Flscnl Bank 1 and Fiscal Corporation—the leading mca surcs of the extra session.
