Veto ffiiraeage of the Governor,
KxrcrrtvE CBAMBERJ )
HARRISBUSO, May 4, 1854. \
To the Senate and House of Keprescntotioei:—
GENTLEMEN : The following bilk have
been preientbd for roy considers!iotytind ap-,
proval, and I herewith return the same with,
out my assent, to the Senate in which body
tfaey originated.
Bill No. 199, entitled an Act to incorporate
the Donegal Depoait Bank, to be located at ■
Marietta, Laficaater oounly ; No. 215, emi,
tied an Act to incorporate the Catusaique '
Deposit Bank, at Csiueuque, Lehigh coun
ty ; bill No. 212,' entitled an Aoi to incorpo- I
rate the Farmers' Depoait Bank of Lehigh
County ; and bill No. 996, entitled an Act to
incorporate the Mount Pleasant Savings 1
Bank.
The prinoipat objection to the bills under
consideration, is, that no adequate liability
is imposed upon the Stockholders, for the
protection for those Who may be creditors of
the institutions. It baa become a settled
principle, that in granting corporate privil
eges, where Urge private gains are expected
and the public deeply interested in the ope
rations of an institution and it* ability to
meet it* engagements, that the individuals
thus associating shall be severally liable, in
their private estates for the debts of such
corporation. ,
This priu—pto haa been applied, very
properly, it ia believed, to Banks of Issue,
and to Mining and Manufacturing Compan
ies, and the public are certainly qmte as
much interested in the safety and solvency
of a Bank Deposit, as in these corporations.
Invi ting deposit* by the offer of liberal
terms, the entire community surrounding
such an institution may become creditors,
and especially those classes least able to
bear a loss ; and henoe the propriety of fur
nishing an efficient protection. The appli
cation of the principle ia not more salutary
upon the public miad, by inspiring confi
dence and trust, than upon the corporators
themselves ; and the greater vigilance res
ulting from a proper tense of responsibility,
would more than compensate for thia in
creased liability.
Whilst it is true that mere Banks - of De
posit not having the power to increase the
aggregate of paper circulation, are not liable
to the objections generally urged against an
increase of banking capital, us a basis for
paper Issues, and cannot 76fTa'.e prtcesfrv
an expanded currency, they should never
theless be guarded by every proper limita
tion and restriot lon, for the security of the
public. Nor should such institutions be es
tablished at random, and without a due re
gard to actual business wants p but only in
such localities as manifestly require them.
In places where a large amount of busi
ness is transacted, I can see no well founded
objection to such an agency—thus from the
size aud importance of tits place, no institu
tion ol the kind at Allentown might be em
inently proper, at dbe of great benefit to
its business inhabitants—and perhaps at
other points indicated in the bills before me;
but in this, as in all other allowable meas
ures,. the utmost discretion and judgment
must be e\erci*ed, and the true interest and
safety of the public ever held in view.
Misapprehension seems to have existed
as to the ex'ent of the liability imposed by
the general Banking Law of 1850, under
which the proposed institutions are to be or
ganized. It was certainly such erroneous
impression that secured the approval of the
bill to incorporate the Citizens' Deposit Bank
of Pittsburg, tor in all other similar oases,
the prictpal of individual liability seems to
be rigidly adhered to. Even in this case,
hdtwever, is an express reservation in the
act of incorporation ihat the Legislature
may impose new conditions, if necessary,
which to some degree, at leas! supplies the
omission of an express individual liability.
Aa there seems therefore to be a defect in
the general law* in this particular, I respect
fully recommend that it be ao amended as
apply to the principle of Individual liability
to Deposit Bunks hereafter incorporated, at'
well as those already established, in whose
charters the right isreservtd to impose new
conditions if necessary.

Sectarian Kxcitements.
There has been another sectarian riot near
Boston, a place nearly as famous for its "re
ligious" riots as Philadelphia It originated
in the attempt to suppress the ravings of a
demented fanatic, calling himself blasphe
mously the "Angel Gabrie L" We do not
learn from the account* who began the row,
but it is quite probable that some of the po
litical organizations existing in lh>* eontury
whose platform of principles ib hearty ha
tred to the Pope and his representatives, the
Priests, use such miserable tools, a* 1 thia
crazy preacher to excite a disturbance amo r, g
the mote ignorant and excitable portion of
the Catholic population, by denouncing thei'
trtt Tfpenly in flit streets, and the fof erltpve
just zeal enough and ignorance enough to be
caught in such a trap. The true course ot
people who do not like to hear a public dis
course, is to keep away fr out the place
where it is being delivered; and the true
course of those who have charge of the pub
lic peace to keep franttcs from preaching ia
the public streets There are Churches a
nough, public Halts enough, commons enough
open lots in the outskirts of the city enough
>0 serve the purpose, where free speech has
a right to be exercised, without invading the
rights of the whole publio, by blocking op
the common thoroughfares of the city. If
this course were pursued, conscientious in
dividuals, who have luO much religion to
fight about it, and do uot burn Churches and
bruise beads to show how deeply they are
imbued with the mild spirit of Christianity,
would be protect HI! from the annoyanoes,
and these disturbances, aud the whole com
mur.ily would eou team that th* only UtM
mode of eojovmg their reftgiftua rights ia for
each to attend more 10 the regulation of his
own conscience than he does to mending
hi* neighbor's faith. So long as the Consti
tution'guarantees* equal rights ot oousoteitoe

ed during the present session, in attending
the Philatlelpldfe Irelio, and by other unne
cessary adjournments J And haw much
time has beet\ trifled away in needless dis
cussions upon of private and
special matters, which properly speaking,
have no business at ail before the Legisla
ture ? Had atl these lost days, and the whole
of this mis-spent time, been devoted to the
necessary bustorss of the session, the limit
of one hundred days would have been found
eveu longer than was required. It is not
going too far to say that sixty days would
have been nearly sufficient.
A proposition of oeriaiu salutary amend
ments to the Con amotion haa been adopted
by the Legtel store now in session. If not
too late, We rrmf suggest another; To
I'tnjj ibS. of *he Legislature,
to ninety days, lifer proviso that the ses
sion my be protraaled at the pleasure of
members, but that their pay shall cease en
tirely at the expiration of the period named.
Nothing, short of a constitutional provision
will be effective; Jor we have already seen
the Act of Assembly, cuttinu down the pay
one-half after one hundred days, iu mere
nullity. The members vole themselves full
pay, in spite of this law: and they will
tioue to do so, as long ts ihe power is left in
their hands. The aimosphere of Marrisb urg
is unforiunalely none of the purest, and the
: shorter there stay is made there, the better
for their own morals, and for the good of the
people.
Th*sa remarks have been suggested by
reading theTolloyving report of an amusing
colloquy whisMMjaarred in the Senate last
Friday, feoiuruOa WR)7fnnlref and MoJ. Fry, '
The former is an out-and-out Whig, and goes
in for all sortaof extravagant anpropriations;
while the latter is a home-spun Democrat,
and baa an eyo to eeonomy, although he
does not appear to be any more ready than
his colleagues to practice ity whan his own
pocket ie concerted.. The Major's reason
for voting himself setyeased pay, is the best
we have yet sfeeu, and at good a one aa can
well be given :
Kunkel. —"l witl ask the Senator from La
high if he did not vole for an increase of
the salaries of the Clerks
Fry. —"Yes because they are poor men,
and work from morning to night. They do
a great deal more work than these Judges,
and are just as good men.''
Kunkel. —" I the Senator again, if
he does nut k n rAvAfist after ihe expiration
of one hondre#tglparfh to only eotitled by
law, to receive #1,30 per day, and whether
he did pot vote for an increase of his pay to
83,00 per day. *

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR ON TUB
DANUBE.
The Russians have advanced within 120
miles of Varna. #
The latest and most trustworthy accounts
from ihe head-quarters of Omer Pasha prove
the urgent necessity of the allied forces ar
riving on the theatre of war without loss of
time, if there be a desire to avoid, as Gen
eral Baraguay d'Htlliers is said to have ex
priaaed it in one of his despatches, the repe
tilicai on hind of the catastrophe of -Smnpe.
A competent person, who has very recently
examined, and with the greatest attention,
the line of Danube from Widden In Raseo
va, and who has very minutely scrutinized
the effective force under the command of
Omar Pasha, with its capabilities and organ
ization, is uul of opinion that it is able to
uieat the RueBiait army single-handed, or to
qppose its onward march to the south.
No doubt is expressed as to the zeal, the
enthusiasm, and the valor of the Turkish ar
my, but the same authority declares that j
notwithstanding Iba wonderful efforts made
by Omar Pasha to introdoce regularity and
order iu the host he commands theie is still a
deplorable deficiency in those respects.—
With the exception of Omar Pasha himself,
who is admitted toaMkßßian of much intel
ligence .mpd two orWeO others moat,
"there Ira sad want ol m nit try capacity a
mong the superior officers, and iofiiniialy
less among the subalterns.
The Turkish army of the Danube does not
amount to more than 90.000 men, while ths
Russians have now 200,000 disposable and
effective men in the Principalities arid Bes
sarabia. Fortunately the presence of Ihe al
lied Heels to the Black Sea renders it impos
sible for the Russians to obtain supplies from
the coast, and a cortfeiderable portion of that
immense force is employed in conveying
provisions and stores to Ibw Dorbrudscha.
An Austrian paper has the following tele,

of the-ghnerXtpUn, there is a long decree

are lo be removed to the plantations. Sucb
islhe-pfah and purpose of these new swin
ish decrees fa:'the abolition of the slave
trade in Cuba, wtiiob have raised ao much
excitement in the minda of the filibusters
and induced Mr. Slidell to propose filibueter
ing lo the United Slates Government as a
preventative and capital scheme lo secure
the anexeiion of Cuba. So far from Afri
canizing Cuba, by the enforcement of these
decrees, there is nothing in them promoting
general emancipation. They are, wise and
humane provisions for breaking dp the slave
trade between Africa and Cuba. The regis
tration, if faithfully executed, will pat • stop
lo the introduction of new slaves, end con
fine the growth and extension of the system
to the natural increase of the domestic
slaves, Spain, in executing these decrees, is
but carrying out in good faith its obligations

A correspondent of the Presbyfarian says
that the proposed Territory of Kansas lies
West of theMiasoari. It extends three or
four hundred miles, and consists principally
of beautiful and fertile prairies. The timber
is meetly confined lo the neighborhood of
water courses. Thete is morp wood, how
ever, in Kansas than in Nebraska, which
lies west of lowa ; and more in the eastern
than in the western portion of the territory,
where those treeless pi sins commence that
stretch to the mountain!. The scarcity of
timber ia the only drawback, aud this must
prevent parts of it from becoming thickly
settled for a long time. It would seem that
Providence designs these immense prairies,
stretching eastward from thn Hockey Moun
tains for a thousand miles, to be the great
grazing region of North America, Just a* he
does theMissippi valley for 'gtdinf the gulf
Stales for cotton, find the Allelic |jtales for
manufacturiag- Upouthe hfige pfirriee of
Illinois and Miesomi, however,- hedges and
stone fence* are coming extensively into
use, and the same mode of fenciag will be
adopted in Kansas. Coal is known to exist
in different sections of the lerritnrn, and it
will probably be found in sufficient quanti
ties lor fuel.
The soil is well edap'ed to grass and grain
and in portions of it, especially near the
Kankas, river, there is'exceilent hemp land.
Pot farming purposes, that portion through
which the Kansas runs, with its numerous
small tributaries, is esteemed the most des
irable. The soil is surpassed by none in the
West, and at no very diatant day the valley
of the Kansas is destined to become one of
the meat atlraotive in our conritry. It is sit
uated as near the centre of our country, also
ss qeed Fort Hiley 90 the
bt nil red and six'yVii-es west o! the Missnu
ri litiP, being the central point of the United
S.ates, as neat as can be ascertained. Along
the valley of the Kansas, aslo, must some
day pass the great thoroughfare between the
Atlantic and Pacific, whether the first Paci
fic railroad take this rent or not. Copper
ore has been found also in this legion.
Curt for Corru. —Mr. Cooper, in his ' Dic

gum ammoniac, two ounces ol yellow wax,
odd six drachms Of verdigris; melt them to
gether, and spread thd composition on. soft
leather, ; cut away as much of the corn as
ynu can , then apply the plaster, and renew
it every fortnight till the corn is away.

tleman named White, from Union oounty,

uf The trial of John Taylor,, for cutting
down one of the gates of the I'enn'a Plank
Knad Company, near Mnnoy borough,came
off at Williamsporl last week,and resulted
in his conviction. He .wa sentenced to
six days' imprisonment in the county Jail,
and a small fine was al"0 imposed upon
him. Tbe suit against Geo. G. W. Taylor
for drawing the staples of one of lire gates,
was withdrawn.. There is still, however,
we believe, a civil'suit pending between the
Gen. and the Company.
There was quite an effort-tnedb during
last wek, at the Court at MGUwoaepostr by
counsel employed tipdhe TWiperfiiew fieu

from obtaining Tavern Licenses. We, bow
ever,. learn that the applicants for ail die
old houses, with perhaps an exception or
two, obtained licenser.
