BIISUIESS NOTICES. POISON - In these days, the once innocent and salutary pro. nese of eating appears to have become a dangerous business. First, we hear of poisonous pork, then the reputation of beef is attacked, and terrible things are proved against veal. Lastly comes deleterious butter,' though this horror, we believe, is confined to Few Y ork, where most of the butter, indeed, resem gdes poison more than food. But since the days of ifercules,and his fatal shirt, we have heard of no such thing as poisonous Ctotsing, and, if there was any each danger, nothing but fair dealing would be appre• tended by those who purchase at SELLING SHEEP. •A'German emigrant one day (Sherman that emigrant would say), Gaz'd about Sixth and chestnut, staring, His garments evidently wearing.

The only surprise the delivery of the message could create is that it is not denunciatory and ill tempered. It is somewhat encouraging that it does not declare the course of Congress "revolu tionary," as was predicted of it; and it is really comforting that it has not yet been followed up by a mortifying scene like that in front of the White House on the night of the 22d of February. As for the arguments of the veto, some are reasonable, many are weak. The President has evidently labored to make a case, and has employed a lawyer to help him. He has made up his mind that Congress shall not direct how the freedmen of the South shall be protected and made useful to the country; but that he will manage the business according to - his own views. If Congress chooses to come into those views, well and good. But it is an inferior branch of the Government, and so is the Supreme Court. He is the executive, the legisla ture and the judiciary, rolled into one. He rebukes the legislature for measures passed after careful deliberation, by large majorities, and he pronounces upon tbeir constitutionality, leaving no chance of appeal to the tribunal provided by the constitution to test constitutional ques tions. The Government is apparently at a dead lock. The President says nothing that can encourage a belief that he will approve of anything done by Congress. with reference to the South, unless It be according to his dictation. The situa tion is one to make all true patriots grieve; for while it retards reconstruc tion, reconciliation and a return to per manent peace and prosperity, it makes traitors and copperheads, north and south, rejoice. It makes our enemies in England and elsewhere, happier than they have been since the defeat of our army at Bull Run. If there is anythhig in this to excite the pride of the Presi dent, he is welcome to the feeling. The real friends of Union and liberty have more than ever cause to deplore the death of Abraham Lincoln. EX-SENATOR STOCKTON. The Copperhead organ in this city makes an attempt to justify Mr. John P. Stockton in the Senate of the United States. It makes two points: first, that forty years ago Doctor Ephraim Bate man, of New Jersey, voted for himself for United States Senator;_ and second, that the present Speaker of the New Jersey Senate (Hon. James M. Scovel) voted for hiniself at the recent election in that body. Mr. Scovel did not vote for himself, but he voted for a Demo cratic candidate, who returned the cour tesy by voting for Mr. Scovel, a thing that is constantly done in all delibera tive bodies when making choice of offi cers. But Mr. Se,ovel would have had perfect right to vote for himself just as Doctor Ephraim Bateman had a right to vote for himself forty years ago; but neither precedent has any bearing upon the case of Mr. Stockton. To illustrate our meaning: Several years ago Messrs. William B. Reed and Horn R. Kneass were opposing candi dates for the district attorneyship in Philadelphia. Mr. Kneass was returned through fraud, and Mr. Reed contested his election. Mr. Reed would never have thought of making a point of the fact that Mr. Kneass had votetfor him self; but if Mr. Kneass had sat in judg ment in his own case when the contest was made, and had attempted to cast a vote in the Court of Common Pleas upon TOWER. HALL, No. 518 Market Street, BENNETT & CO. the question of the legality of the elec tion, we incline to the opinion that Mr. Reed would have raised decided objec tions to his course. This is precisely Mr. Stockton's case. Had he been a member of the New Jersey Legislature he would have had an undoubted right to vote for himself for Senator; but the case is altered when he attempts to sit in judgment in the trial of his own cause in the Senate of the United States. THE TIMES OUT OF JOINT. The New York Times of Monday felt itself constrained by circumstances to come to the rescue of the reputation of John Tyler. It did not do so by bluntly attempting to justify the defection of that) individual towards the party that elected him; but it endeavored to put the responsibility of the breach between the Whig party and the false Virginian upon the Whigs. The Times said among other things in this connection "With John Tyler, after the death of Pre sident Harrison, the Whig Party split upon the United States Bank question. Oar leaders, with Mr. Clay at their head, were committed and devoted to the Bank, and forced that issue, as they had done in 1832. Tyler, a weak man, was driven into the De mocratic party. The result was alike dis astrous and inglorious to both Tyler and the Whig party." At the election for President and Vice President which took place in 1840, the creation of aNational Bank, or sonit sort of a substitute for such an instiMion, was just as clearly one of the principles of the party that elected General Harri son and John Tyler, as was the tariff or any other plank of the Whig platform. General Harrison died before he had time to shape out or follow any distinct official policy; and in his message to Congress, and at the extra session called by himself in May, 1841, Mr. Tyler, at considerable length, recommended a "Fiscal Agent," another name for a Bank of the United States. During the extra session a bill was ' framed by Mr. Ewing, of Ohio, to meet the views of the President, and with some slight modifications it was about to become a law, when it leaked out that it would not receive the approbation of Mr. Tyler. A second bill was then gotten up so is to overcome the scruples of the accidental chief magistrate, and after passing both Houses of Congress it was sent to the President, who returned it with his veto. But before the veto message was sent in this model Presi dent assured the entire Whig delegation in Congress, from Ohio, that if Mr. Ewing's bill NV. ere sent to him, he would sign that. This bill was at once revived; but before it could be passed Mr. Tyler recalled his promise to sign it, declaring that at the time he had expressed his approval of it he had not yet read it ! Subsequently he sketched off to Messrs. Berrien of the Senate and Mr. Sergeant of the House his plan for a bank. A bill was at once drawn in conformity with this plan; it was privately submitted to the President and his Cabinet, and having metwith their approval, itwaspassedby both houses of Congress withoutamend ment. The President also vetoed this bill; his own bill, and all the members of his Cabinet, with the single excep tion of Mr. Webster, forthwith tendered their resignation. And that is how the Whig leaders forced the bank issue upon Mr. Tyler and drove him into the De mocratic party, and how "the Whig party split upon the bank question." The editor of the Times knows per- fectly well, or he should know perfectly well, that John Tyler was clearly com mitted to the policy of a national bank in some form, if he intended to be faithful to the party that elected him; the Times also knows, or should know, that his opposition to a bank grew ex clusively out of his small jealousy of the illustrious Henry Clay, and that in the littleness of his pigmy soul, he thought he could throw down the idol of a great party, and by the force of offi cial patronage elevate himself upon the coveted pedestal. If this was forcing an issue upon him and driving him into the Democratic party, and "splitting the Whigs upon the bank question,'' we do not understand "the'situation" as it was in 1841, or we axe at fault as to the. Commonwealth's'English in 1866. How well Mr. Tyler succeeded in his experi ment was foretold by Mr. John Minor Botts, in his famous " heading tie" letter, in which he declared that Tyler would become "an object of execra tion to both parties:" The Times, should either post itself better in the history of the last quarter of a century, or mend its political morals, for it cer tainly proves itself to be in a had way when it attempts to put upon the Whig organization of 1841 the responsibility of the sins of omission and commission of a man who first betrayed his party, then threw himself into the arms of its adversary, and subsequently died an open traitor to his country. LEAGUE ISLAND. The House Naval Committee has at length reported in favor of accepting League Island as a site fora great naval depot for the construction and repair of iron-clad ships. It has been recom mended by Secretary Welles in each of his annual reports, and nothing but sectional jealousy has prevented the consummation of the project heretofore. There has been a dreadful waste of time by committees, which has caused great loss to the Government, because there has been no place to preserve our iron fleet properly. We trust that both houses of Congress will act promptly and favora bly on the report of the Committee. There cannot be the slightest doubt that League slsland is in every respect the best sith in the country for the pro posed establishment. Our representa tives in Congress are entitled to great credit for the zeal and ability with which they have set forth its claims. ?HE DAILY EYENING BIILLiTIN : PDILADELPHIA.
