Tho Governor's veto of die Federal Bank
Dill Will be found in our columns of to day;
Wo need not bespeak for it a candid and
careful reading, as we are sure that every
one will givo it llvat attention which It so
j nelly merits, and the importance of tho
subject demands. All who aro not blinded
by party prejudices and feelings will at
enco acknowledge the correctness of the
viaw3 taken by tho Governor of the bill In
question, and will award him for his patri
otism, honesty of purpose, which has so
sigaally characterised all his acts as chief
txiogislralc of the Sialei
Piesidonl Tylei has issued his Inaugdral
Address, and we cannot express our opinion
of it any better, than it is given in the fol
lowing laconic sentence from Bennett Iicr
nld, a whig paper published in New York.
" 1 1 is addiess will be carped at and set
down by mt.ny as a piece of twaddlo to
batch the -popular breeze, and retain as ma
ny friends as possible. We confess
it requires some ingenuity to construe Mr.
Tyler's fitst Presidential effort, and those
wim road it must ponder well ore they reach
the bent of his meaning,"
The Legislature will neither adjottrn, of
do any thing which is Calculated to benefit
the people. The whole object of the whig
members appears to be to advanco tho inter
est of their party, and having a majority in
both branches, they vote down every prop
osition fjr the relief of the people, offered
by the democrats, and rack their ingenuty to
frame such bills only as they know tho Gov
ernor cannot conscientiously sign. Such
b set of Legislators ought to be sent to Liberia.
The fdtcign news is any thing, but con
ciliatory, Tho English papers aro extreme
ly severe on this country, and threaten us
W;lh a war of extermination, if M'Leod is
not given up, and the Maine Boundary ques
tion abandoned. What a bravo set of fel

'must consider money as a desperate prclty

too desperate for ine, and although I am ve

the far west, 1 cannot bo so desperate as to

fearing that she would become still mora

We should then both be desperate sorry

UNITED STATES BANK,
A committee of the stockholders of this
Bank have made a repor upon tho situation
of its affairs. More astounding disclosures
of fraud, swindling and robbery, in bank
transactions havb scarcely a parallel. The
Diotts and Levis may hang their heads in
Bhamo at their puny operations. The com
mittee report a los3 of 20,000,000 of the
capital slocic, but it is generally believed
that every dollar of it, is lost Id" tho Stock
holders, and pocketed by the laid officers of
the Bank. The bank has petitioned tllo
Legislator for a reduction of its capital to
