NO. IA.

TO Montgomery, Alabama, Wh'ch was
passed by q vote Of 80 to 30.
The House again resolved itself into
committee Of the whole on the general
appropriation bill, and after the introduc.
lion Of sunjry amendments and Lengthy
speeches, the committee arose, reported
progress, and asked leave to cit again at 7
o'clock this evening.
A message was received from the Gov.
ernor yetoIng the resolutions declaring that
the State is legally and morally bound to
pay the bonds sold on account Of the Un.
ion Bank, &C., the same have been pre-.
scented TO him for his signature. The mes.
sage having been read, was on motion laid
on the table.
MIR. Watkins introduced a resolution
declaring that the Governor By his com.
municatian Of to-day plainly showed that
he was the true cause &C all the evil that
had been visited upon the people by means
of the Union Bank; that said conmuni.
cation is but tissue Of folly, absardity.
and wlckedness; and that it justly deserves
the condemnation Of all honest and dig.
Greet men. A motion was made to Law
the resolution on the table, which prevailed
BY vote Of 80 TO %.
Mr.. Besancon moved to prin, 500 co.
pies Of the veto message, and accompanied
his motion with some very forciHe AMI
pertinent remarks. A fierce and noisy
discussion ensued, in which the enemies OF
the Governor hoisted the food gatea Of
their wrath, and let forth their filthy acr
cumulations Of invectiye ane denunciation;
they, however, gained nothing in the
sequel, as the Governor was ably sus.
tanned by his friends. That the motion
should have prevailed, no unprecedented
mind can gainsay, when it is known that
the resolutions which called forth said
message, censured The Executive in un.
measured terms, and that they were pro.
mulgated at public charge; but the enc.
mics Of the Governor held the prerorder.
ance Of power g. they defeated the motion.
Mr.. d. proposed that il gentlemen, who
had SO sirenuously opposed the motion 10
PRINT, would come out ofS;s:..ys' aad sa4es.s,.--
edge that they were afraid to have The
message go forth to the world, he would
Withdraw his motion, and the friends o(,be
Governor would have the message printed
at their own charge; the acknowledgment
they would not make, though we doubt no,
that II was the true cause Of their opposi.
ton.
