these things, and a multitude Of other expcdi-

tuition and of the Republican Party.
The important question was taken in the
house at about one O'clock this afternoon and
the present convocation ofthc Legislature was
declared to be case not within the meaning of
the constitution, and an iuaiscrcet exercise of
executive power.-'rhc vote stood Gii TO 81
There were nine members absent, from various
causes, the names of eight of which would have
been added to the &c. This is the only veto
which has been taken during tl.e present ses-
sion, which is in the least Indicative OF the re-
with tine utmost certainty. Ii shows that their
number is uudi,niuishet!; and that they are uni
ted aad decidedly victorious. Our republican
friends abroad may place the utmost reliance II,

fully sustain tie Democratic Party of the Ma

former occasions, to change the present nlode |

The history ofthcse proceedings we Shall give
hereafter. The nat;irc of some of them we re
greet, because the character of the state is in
eoivei.--1'kc most violent denunciations ur
heard Of in the history Of legislative trans
actions, were uttered on the flor of the house
by some OF the members of the opposition. Dis
tiugaished Republicans denounced bv

the most ignoble purposes of political rancour

Il is matter OF justice TO say, that these attacks
were regretted anl deprecated by several rem
