Ifyou have any trees which produce in different

two inches, and insert wedge TO keep it open

Small Notes.

The Governors veto message seems 10 meet gen.
oral appreciation from all parties. The L. s.
Gazette says, The hIll was as well dead "a alive.
The creates, oljectionSble feature in the veto is.
the view The Governor tkes relative TO the issue of
small notes. We have conveEseI viii a great
number Of persons Who we thought would be the
last 10 yield to such a measure, and the almost
unanimo us'opnon is, ths, ii we must of necessity
use smeh notes. let at least have them of our own
instead of circulating those OF other states. Small
nutCs must and will be used os long as the sus-
pension continues. The true question is, shall
ouE banks ssue them or sl,ail we be dependent
upon a2nks and individuals out of the state for any
spurious t,ssh they may choose 10 impose upon us
We are now sad always have been opposed 10
small notes, unless as a temporary measure for
relief, and such we believe they would prove to be
under the present existing circumstances.

Abstract of The 'Iio Message,

The Governor has vetoed the late Bank bill. The
veto message is too long for insertion. We there.
fore give an abstract The Governor says there
are a number OF things in the L ,ha, he would
gladly approve, but he is unwilling TO repeal the
penalties imposed on the banks, Ear as the cili-
zcns of this ,tate are concerned. He is also oppo
sed to the issue Of small notes hy the banks for
period of five years,to an amoun, ef six millions Of
dollars.
Hesays that sec,ions repeating thepcneltics and
foei,urcs are peculiarly Objectionable inasmuch as
no time is prescribed when the rspcal would ceusc
TO be operative lie refers % his former opinions
with regard TO small notes, and says" if such
notes issued, nigh, despair Of seeing single
dollar Of specie in circulation Hc is opposed also
to Pos Nocs, and to various other provisions, par.
ticularIy to that which au,horiscs the us. Bank
10 'redu-e is'capi,al to Sl4,0OO,OOo. He says he
retained the bill long possibe,t ascertain the
opinions Of practical mcn, andhe doubts il 1t should
become Law whether one-,sr,h Of the Banils Of the
commonwealth would accept Gifts provision. The
late bank suspension is alluded TO in q moderate
spirit, and attributed in grea, uscasere TO he a
bination abroad. He conclsdes with this langu sc:
would most cheerfuy approve Of any measures
tha, will protect The banks of this commonwealth
from hoing c'ippicd in their apora;ions, and from
The forfeiture OF their chirters by combinations of
brokers' and sharpers of other States, and Europe, TO
exact the penalties which were originally lie igned
for the safety and security of the people Of h s
commonwealth. Let those persons having dmands
against our banks I've deprived Of no civil remedy,
which can be afforded thc law; let our Courts
main open 10 them; lc, them recover judgmen, and
enforce them by execution, with such interest as
is allowed in other like Of debt; hut The penal
ties which can he acted only ~ he ha7n,d of
a,ing embarrassment and difficulty among our citi
zcns, should he reserved TO be enforced by our own
ctizns, who nre so deeply interested in the ccnsc,
quenccs Let those who a'o TO feel the effects,
Judge who thus will sltfSe ihc bow. Such law as
this, would I've a mea.ure Of self preservation, and
could give Just ground Of complain, 10 those who
would be deprived OF no legal riah, they now en-
JOY, and OF no privilege, but hat Of annoying AID
disturbing their ncghbors without obtaining any
benefit for themselves
In oil our Legislative acts we should remember
that without cucroachns upon the rights of the eii
zcns Of other States our first and highest duty is TO
take care Of the interests of Pennsylvania This is
expected from Us by the people and less lhln this,
would be an unrardonsbe shrinking from our duty.
