VE'T'O.. OF THE ' CANAL COMMIi-
SIONERS . BILL.
Our readers,, will . perceive in 'another
'-part of to-days paper, the message of Gov
• ern& Porter, giving his reasons . for vetoing
'the bill providing, for the election of Canal
+Commissioners. • They + . 611 doubtless re
• collect that this bill provided that the Senate
•
:should elect one Commissioner, the House
• another, and.the Governor appoint•the third.
;In this way the abuse.of do large a branch
:of - the 9xecutive atronaie would be pt.,-
Venial; and :the CWal Commissioners
all probability,-instead—of :spending :.their
own time, and that,of their • subordinates.
-and •the money appropriated by the . f.egis r
...lature,•in'electieneerilig for the Governor;
would nt~en~l to ilic r - dui &ph) it:
works, ineteSd.of bringing Ile state yearly
in.to diThkfoi: the payment, of the interest of
.4noney'expended in their conStrnetion, in
_a shorOune would" beeothe a source of rev
enue. &it Governor Porter Ms thought
'otherwise; he se6ms determined to keep as
great an amount of. patronage in his hands
as possible ; his case is, not that the stain
vi-'shall,basaved expanse, bin that hia.favor
. it6a shall be rewarded ; nor that the money
shall be'exp&uled upon .the-public..tvorks
in the 'best and most economical , Manner,
but that•it should be managed 'so as to Se:
• cure his re-election.
The blindest supporter of the present
.state administration cannot deny, that a
large, majority of the citizens of Pennsyl
vania are in favor of takingjrpm the Gov
erpor, the power of appointing Canal Corn
mitisioners- and giving it to their.represen
tatives and. they have declared their opin
ion on' this question, in meetings, and by
,petitions from - every quarter. Besides, the
-yeople, by,declaring in favor of the amend-
merits- to,•the Constitution, Wave -decreed
that the Executive should be stripped Of the
greater - part of his patronage ;am' this bill
,eas in fu11..-accordance with the spirit of
dhe .new • Constitution. The, governor,
'therefore, fig' an opportunity. of shoWing
soon - of - that - democracy which , he profess
es s loudly (and practices so seldom,) and
o obeying the voice of his constituents;
b t like others of his party, democracy is
a good thing to talk. about, but which they
never haye the idigl
in their own cases.
'ln conclusion, we would say the Gev9,re
.nor must certainly have beeo . half 11,104,
or something worse, when viriting'dOwn
his .objections to„ the bill on th , lscore of
unconstitutionality:-as he qnofedlrom the
old constitution instead - of . the new, which
differs. entirely in its °visions relative

answer that the coon skin was not an ern-

of Ohio, it was the currency of dill state.
The farmers thin exchanged it for the lux

werewell decked with - coon skins,•they
could drink Rio Coffee, but when not, they
drank. Ity-4. 'The 'coon' was no favorite

THE EXPLORING. EXPEDITION.
Murder of two of the. Officers by Cani
bals.—Lettere and papers from the Sand
wich,lslands to the 24th October have been
received at New York: The Exploring
- Expedition - had - arrived there.
The papers contain -- the particulars of
the murder on the 24th of July last of
Liaim.J:.' Underwood, and. Midshipman
Henry,H
Wilkes a nephew of Capt. Wilkes,
i " a m 9 .0 tEr gacht-4 1 1.1P—Menne.t..,byAlwea.r
MdFole, one of .the Fijii group.
These-- unfortunate --officeis• having gone'
ashore with but a few men, were attacked
and - kille& almoSt - inatinitly, lit, not until
they.: had 'shot four-Of..theirassailants,_wbo
were the Very men that but a few minutes.
- before - thek - had - emplOyed in titekiliebbati
- over the - reef. • The men with them were
wounded,-but escaped. -
The Squadrop!s boats
. being near, im
mediately. pulled in and commenced a well
directed fire upon the savages, under cover
of which,'Lietit. Alden landed and brought
off the bodies, which were-entirely stript.
Had not the natives been fully occupied in
carrying off their own dead, their bodies
would belie been taker. away and devoured.
Captain W. immediately made preparations
for attadking their .town -, and fort,•which
the savages considered impregnable. The
seamen were landed and a fire-was opened
upon it, but -without much effect; until a
rocket, or " Flying Spirit," as they called
it, set fire to their town, and created great
consternation. It was 'finally, carried by
assault. • The ifOtives fought' Well, and
even stood a .charge,of bayonet, .but were
finally beaten at all points; seventy or-more
were killed, the tO,I and town burnt, their
plannitiOns{ destroyed; and the ,island laid
waste. Wise islanders have always been
noted for ; ,their ferocity and treachery;and
canibaliern;characteristies',which it seems
they fidly'retain.
. . .
•.. A-letter to 'the Now.. York Commercial
says:—"LieuV Underwood. and , . Wilkes
Henry were killed as they were endeavor
ing to secure the. retreat', of the men; in
which they succeeded, lint-at tho -cost-of
their, oivn lives. They were buried on a'
smalli'-.9.ninhabited island

in memory of that gallant and ill-fated
.young officer. The whole island on which.
the massacre took place was severely pu

and schooner arrived.. Nothing was apar•

ed but the 'oiiomen and children, and these,
I am sorry to say, are by this time slaves
to some chief of the neighboring group."

not return beforelB42.

the Vincennes, who seven years since kil
led ten of the crew of an. American vessel.
• The Pqrpoise visited one of the Pejee
islands to protect or take away as the oc
casion might require, a fam ily. of, Wesleyan
missionaries settled there, whose lives
were supposed to be - , endangered - by the
savages: . But they preferred remaining,
having been prinnised protection by the

which a railroad is carried over a town:

therefore take this opportunity of informing the pub

Paris' Soothing Syrup for Cutting Teeth.
This medicine I found to produce relief as soon as
