Tun Vero Powea.—The London Times in an article on monarchy and democracy in which it claims more real liberty for an English subject than is to be found in any country of the world. thus speaks of the abuse of the Veto Power in our country : Mr. Tyler, the new President, elevated to that of— fice without any popular election, by a dispensation of Providence at least as accider.tal as the devolu— tion ofan hereditary monarchy, has placed his veto upon a bill of immense importance (for incorpora ting a Bank of the United States) which has pass. ed both Houses of Congress, merely on the ground of his own personal convictions. In monarchical England, the Soverern has a veto, but it has never been exercised for 150 years; yet in dcmocratical America, the decision of ihe people is intercepted from takisig effect by the will of a single man, and that man not chosen for the purpose. In England the prerogative of the Crown are exercised, not ac cording to the private epinionsofthe Sovereign, but under the advice of, responsible ministers; but in America the democratic King refuses his assent to a law because it is contrary to his individual judge ment. And, to make the ease still stronger, this is done upon the great party question of the day —the the very-question which came uppermost during the late Presidential election, and on which the constituencies of the Union signified their will by rejecting the candidate who then professed views similar to Mr. Tyler's, and electing one pledged to adt.Ft an opposite course. Our renders will per. calve that we regard this matter merely in a con. stitutional point of view. Upon the whole, the more me look upon democracy, whether in its mix. ed or in its absolote form. the more satisfied we are that it is an extremely different thing from liberty, and the better we are contented with our institu tions. DEATH OF Ma. Foasirrn.— Hon. John Forsyth, late Secretary of State of the United States, expired at his residence in Washington City. on Thursday evenir.g. He had been ill a short time from con. geetive fever. In October, 1781, ho was born at Fredericksbure, Va , and graduated at Princeton College in 1799. He commenced the practice of law at Augusta, Georgia, in 1802, and was soon appointed Attorney General of that State. In 1812 he was elected a Representative to Congresa, and was chairman of the committee of Foreign Affair!! from 1814 to 181f 2 ; when he was elected a member •of the U. S. Senate. The next year he was appointed Minister to Spain, and in 1893 he returned to this country and was again elected a Representative. In 1827 and 8 he was Governor of Georgia, and afterwards a U.

This Packet abip.'provided; as our readers are a yuire, with an auxilialy steam power and the Erica. inn. Propellor, made a trial 'excursion ice the Bay lest Saturday,, the result of which may be consider ed of some ,importance ; , in connexion with .the pro gress of the American steam navigation. It has long heed:urged by grave autboritiesobst nature has interposed an effectual barrier to prevent the United States from competition with Greatßrit ain in steam navigation, owing to the scarcity and inferior quality of our bituminous coat The absur dity of this opiniOn was strikingly illustrated in the trial alluded to. The public generally are not aviare that the Clar ion'e,boilers have been constructed for burning an dirtied° coal only, and that artificial draught was em ployed in order to dispense with the usual tall and combrnus smoke-pipe. Hitherto some diffieulty,has been experienced in keepi.ig•up a sufficient supply of steam in the t;lanon ;" but by the addition of a small steam cylinder for working the blower applied to the boiler, this difficulty has now been most com pletely removed, and nothing could be more perfect than the controloshich the engineer bad over the steam during the tdal. By simply turnings stop cock attached. to- rite smell cylinder, the quality and pressure of the steam in the boilers were raises! at pleasure. Considering the small quantity of stowage room required by-anthracite cold, its cleanliness, 'powerful heating qualities, and the perfect absence of smoke, we hazard nothing in assenting. after what we wit nessed on board the "• Clarion, " that so far from the United States laboring under any disadvant s age, res pecting coal for steam navigation, we posse, in our inethaustible stores of anthracite coal, an absolute advantage of our transatlantic neighbors. And in warfare we have an advantage of the most vital im- portance. • Steamers burning bituminous coal can be " track ed" at see at least seventy miles before their hulls come visible by the dense columns of the black smoke pouriqg out of their pipes, and trailing along the liorison. It is a complete tell-tale of their where atni*,which is not the case with those,burning an thraeiteCiaas the latter kind sends forth no smoke. .Therei re oil steaners like the "Clarion" and "Kam schatka," are decide li l y superior to all others in time of war. And we regret4rery much that our new war *steamers, the " Missonre. and Mississippi," have been constructed to burn''fiereign bituminous coal only ! We regret very much aiet,the 0 Board of Construction " had so little foresig ht. But this empuesaot. Having had the advantage of conversing With, some thorough-bred engineers who were on board the Clari4ll, we cannot aveid noticing the perfor marce of the propeller curing the trial. The speed of the engine being accurately tried, it was found to give 4,700 revolutions to the piopeller in running over a space of 14 miles. Now, the propeller being ei feet in diameter ; and its spiral plates being set at an angle of 46 degrees at the circumference, its progressive movement through' the water will be precisely 20 feet for each revolution ; had therefore the resistance of the water been perfect, the vessel could only have passed over a apiece of 95,900 feet. But 14 miles is equal to 73,900 feet—thus it will be seen that only 2-9:hs was lost by slip on the re ceding of the water —a remarkable fact, considering the large midship section of the "Clarion," compar ed with the small dimensions of the propeller. Respecting the consumption of fuel in the "Clar ion," it has now been truly ascertained 320 pounds per hour is the average, whictris less than that re quired by'a British steamer of forty horse power. • N. Y. Herald. WAR SirsAmsas.—lnstructions have been issued for building at our Navy Yards the following steam vessels. At Norfolk, one of medium size, say between 600 and 700 tons, and one of 300 tons, to be propelled by Lieut. Hunter's paddle wheels. The engine for the latter is to be made at the Washington Navy Yard, where it is understood work equal to any in the country' has been turned out. At Philadelphia., ine of 600 tons, to be propelled on Capt. Stockton's plan; and one of medium size, At Now York, one of medium sizo 600 to 700 tons. ... The description of engines fur the medium stea mers has not yet been determined upon. The Com missioners of the Navy have opened a correspon dence with the most experienced and scientific gen tlemen in the country as to the beat models, and have collected a large amount of Information upon the subject which will be increased by further com munications before the time arrives for making a decision. They will, by these means, have the aid of the best experience the country can afford. Captain Stockton end 'Lieut.

One night, besides the usual dish of cabbage and pork. she left a waslf•bowl filled with caps in starch. The lamp had long been extinguished when the staggering gut returned home, and by mistake, when proceeding to satisfy his hunger, ho stuck his fork 'in the wrong dish. He worked away at his mouthful of caps very, patiently for some time, but finally being unable to mastica.c them, he sang out to his wife. - (ltd woman, where did you get your cabbages they 'are so d—d stringy.

Their cup of sorrow and monification must now be full, and we will not run it over by gazetting their names: It appears that it certain Edward C. Boling, (son of the Rev. Mr. Doling, minister of the M. E. church, 1 and a resident of this county.) about three years since married a Miss P—. a lady of respectability as we learn, and lived with her newly two years. About twelve months ago he left his home for the purpose of studying the law in Gn3enboro' N. (~3.. 1 leaving his wife behind. On his arrival in Greens. hero'. be changed his name and introdoced himself to the inkahitants of that town' as Sidney T. Smith, of Alabama. He exhibited to the gentleman under whom he prosecuted the study of ' law, certificates purporting to be from distinguished gentlemen in North Alaba-na, and which represented him as the son of a wealthy cotton planter of that State. He obtained credit to a large amount to -the stores of that phic'e, and pretended that- * he was in daily ez. pectation of the receipt of a large amount of fords from his father, living as above stated. Soon after he informed his acquaintances that-tie expected his parent's in a short time to pass through Greensboro, on a visit to some friends living in Southampton, Virginia. Again he pretended to learn that his father was dead, hut that he expected a visit from his mother. and with a countenance indicating grief for his lost parent, be entered o milliner's shop and bespoke foe his mother a gaily dress of mourning, while he wore crape on his hat! (Bold and reckless man ! thus to tamper with the wrath and thunder• bolts of Heaven!) After this, he succeeded, by stratagem, to become =•• _ Case or msams acquainted with Miss E. B-, an accomplished young lady of Guilford county, and daughter , of a gentlemannf high respectability and of enviable pro perty. He was pleased with her; and, with the cold hearted ferocity of a fiend fresh from hell, determined to make her the victim of his soul treachery and de-,, teit.—By artfutend false representations, he gained the confidence of her father; and by warm and or 'dent professionk of regard and attachment, induced berlo,consent to become his bride. He determin ed, in th4-black malignity of his soul, to become the spoiler of thipeace of that domestic circle wh4re, before, all was iSiinquil, happyness and joy. Like the gaze of the basilisl4 , his treacherous eye was fix ed upon that fair victim, arid. she might not escape. Now he stood before the altar and plighted to Miss B— his faith and the nuptial tie`was proclaimed tothe world by the public journals—wheh not twen ty miles dithant lived a lawfully wedded wife , who, perhaps, at the moment of his marriage with Miss, B—, - sighed with a throbbing heart for her hus band's return. The tali stops not here. Soon after his second marriage, Smith alias Boling (a young man of fair complexion and genteel dress) told his new father in-law that be had been sadly disappointed in not having received the fulids from Alabama, which be had sq long expected, but still pretended that he con ' fidently expected them to arrive in a short time; sta ted orenver tLat he had bargained with a Mr. Ed war' C. poling of this county far a tract of land. and for wliich he agreed to pay Boling the sum of $3,- i lo 700—and thus got his father-in-law to endorse the payment of a bond of three the usand seven hundred dollars i'i which sum he borrowed to pay for land. Now, Smith alias Boling pretended to visit this Edyeard C. Boling, to ratify-the land bargain. , Af. Lei, a short absence he returned back, and, lo ! Bol l: ing had by book or crook, defrauded him out of his mbney. He remained with his wife a few days, and concluded to go and see poling again ; and such . , wee now the length of his absence that his last wife becoming uneasy, proceeded in quest of him to the *se of the Rev, Mr. Boling, of this county, ex pecting to meet with him there : but she found him li'—'3't—Mr. Smith was not known by any of the Mini ! • bile there Mrs. Smith bees ce acquainted w?th Mrs. Edward C. Boling—whose husband was absent also. The two ladies remained together for several days, and mutually expressed anxiety for the return of their husbands, never one dreaming that they were the wives of one and the same man. Mrs. Smith alias Boling finally returned home without - hearing from her husband—but Smith arrived soon after her. return, told a smooth tqle relative to his absence, end still complained of his treatment from Boling. The want of space compels us to pass over many events of interest which transpired after this late re tem mentioned, until his arrest. His new father-in law, enraged against Boling, and unwilling that his son-in-law should brook such injustice, sou& t re dress by the force aril power of the law. He accor dingly had a writ: issued fur the arrest of Boling, charging him with swindling Sidney T. Smith. On Tuesday last, (our county court being in sea lion.) Smith, in connexion with a young man, a re lative of Mrs. Smith, arrived at Yanceyville, the countyseat of this county, on his way, as he said, to Southampton, to take charge of several throes which he owned there, and to collect a large rum of money then due him ; but an .his arrival at the court -house., he made out to the young man that his horse was too lame to travel . further—sent the young man on to Southampton, stating that he would return. get another horse, and, soon be with him. Thus they parted, and the young man is now, perhaps, awaiting Smith's alias . Boling's presence in South ampton, or inquiring in vain after the property. We have said they parted.—Smith pretended to go back. Col. Lea deputy sherif who had been on the look out for Boling, was informed that he was in the vil. loge; on further inquiry he learned that Boling hail, left town—some one had met him. Col. Lea moun ted his horse, and pursued him; he overtook Bol ing, who was on his way to the residence of his first wife, and brought hitt to town. lmagine the feelings of his new father:in-law, who Was in Yonce trifle, on that day, seeking Bolinit's arrest, as he step pad into the cwt house to observe the culprit, for the Gist time, and at a glimpse exclaimed :-- . -....My God ! that's the man who married my daughter!" Bolingtaving been brought before an examining court, was required to give boil in the sum of $5,000, with two or more securities, which failing to do, was committed to jail, and the witnesses bound to appear at Guiltord Superior Court, where the defen dant Boling will have his trial before the Hon.
