a pprove it, or ill should be passed by a vote al
two-thirds of litth Houses: but itlirs' a right
to demand that the President shall exercise his
constitutional ower and arrest it; if his judg
ment is againstl it. If he surrender this power,
er fail to curate it in a case where he cannot
approve, it won d make his formal approval a
mere mockery, `ind would be itself a violation
of the eoustitutjon, and the dissenting State
would become abound by a law which had. not
been passed isi*ording to the sanctions of the
constitution. ,-1
The objecticep to the exercise of the yrro,
power is found.ld upon an idea respecting, the
popular will, wkleh of 'harried out, would Duni- 1
hilate State sovereignty; and substitute for the
present federal i overnmenva consolidation, di- 1
rected by a supposed numeric 4 majority. AI
revolution of t 4 government would be silently
effected, and the States would be Subjected to
laws to which they had never given their _
con

The Supremos Court of the United States is
invested witb th* power to declare, and has de
clared, acts of Congress passed with the con
currence of the g. enate, the House of Represen
tatives,. and the. a approval of the President, to
her unconstitutiapal and void; and yet none, it 1
is presumed, ead be found, who - will be disposed j
to strip this highest judicial tribunal under the I
constitution of `t his acknowledged power—a
power neecessar alike to its independence and
the rights of individuals.
For the same season that the Executive veto
should, accordin; to thetloctrine maintained, be
r endered neugatikry, and be practically expung
ed from the emittution, this power of the Court
l
should also be r 1 rendered nengatery and be ex

- It is obvious that to preserve the system es
tablished by the konstitution, each of the co
ordinate branehe ' i of the government—the Ex
ecutive,,Legislatibe e and Judicial—must left
in the exercise 0,1
its appropriate powers. If
the Executive or ryse Judieial blench be depri-
ved of powers conferred upon either as checks
on the Legislaqe, the preponderance of the
latter will becomS disproportionate and absor
bing, and the otlitrs impotent for the accom
plishment of the great objects for which they
were establistedli Organized as they are by
the Constitution,Othey work together for the
pnblie good. - H the Executive and the -Judi
ciary shall be deitrived of the constitutional
powers invested iii them, and of their due pro
portions, the eq4librium of the system must
be destroyed, an& consolidation- of unchecked. i
despotic power, eercised by majorities of the i
Legislative brane .

The Executive„ egislative and Judicial, each 1
constitute' a sep4rate co-ordinate department I
of the godernmenq; and each is independent of

SWF are about to make an anno neement to our

of, as well as by promiseti fro' a number of
zealous and valued friends that that patronage
shall be considertbly augments and stimula

making arrangements to again I enlarge to the

greatly improvt, the DEMOCRAiT, at the com
mencement of the new voiuml in January.—
We need hardly assign. a reason further for so
doing, 'than is given in the_forioing.
Politically the character of the paper will of.
course undergo no change. Alt.hough abating
to some extent from the past in the amount I
of political matter to be published in its col- I
watts, until the' opening of another campaign—
not some two years distant—yiet we shall re
lai:tiot ono iota of our seal and upport of radi
cal pemocracy, or of hostility to modern Whig
gery. As a literary paper we d esign to render
its Columns more than ever interesting and at
tractive, while as a news paper •we need hard

Besides these interests and branches of a

facilitate us in rendering correct o up to the la

of the paper commensurate( with the patronage

The Ifiessage
The fourth Annual message a President
Polk, has been received, and, a ugh of ex
traordinary length, is now laid b fread
ers entire in anticipation of ond regula übli
catien day. We bespeak for it a thorough and
cargul'pernsal, assuring all that it will amply
repay if, as it transcends in - impertance, ability
an& interest any Executive message that has
been publihThed in many a year. We shall / lilt
attempt, as is customary' some of our'
-city
-city cotemporaries, to analyze - dt condense it ; ,
first„ because we have no speed' to spare fore,
such a purpose, and secondly, because we have
no crispslsition; •=prefering much that! each one
of our readers should peruse and construe it for
hinselr; which sane might fail td do, because of
o
its prolixity; did ire give it ins opts. •
What is .said b e y the President on the slavery
quell : Hon+ of,'courte :we shall not Ibe expected to
endorse; , yet we 'will give him! the credit" of
stating and supporting the Southern side of the
queStion with , more than usual - candor, .force
and;ability. Being himself, a S#utherner awls
