Let Democrats look over the appointments he had made, and midi exception of the Sec retary and Deputy Secretary of the Common wealth, there were none he 'could approve. He was willing to take- the consequences, and wa .thsatite did not believe . Crov_ernin PaCker was an honest man. In 1838 a bill passed the Legislature , for the transfer of the Sista canals. What was his action 1 I/id he in terpose ti veto, as a Demotrat should have done! No, but be gave Isis official sanction to the bill, and gave the canals for far less then their known worth to the State. In his last message, he alluded to n bid of $225,000 more for one of the lines then was received, and jet' he consented‘to its re
