Geological Surrey. Hardly a week passes that
does not bring with it such notices ofthe results
of geological surveys in other States as make us
feel regret, if not downright shame, that Vermont
persists in being unmindlul of her own inter-
est. In noticing an article upon the geological
reports Of New York, the editor of the New
Yorker gives Vermont the cut direct thus
ave- may well remark, in this connections
orr great surprise that the Legislature Of Vernon,
should appear obsIinatey opposed TO sccn-
tific survey of that State. Their penny wise and
pound foolish policy seems quite unjustifiable
for there is State in the Union which possesses
so strong Inducements TO cultivate high scientific
and literary character, or whose geological and
Typographical survey would present more useful
and important results than Vermont; and yet
there is no other State whose Legislature is so
determinately opposed to the appropriation ola
single dollar, for purposes of this kind. In add
lion TO the ardent wishes of many of her most
distinguished citizens, and the strong recommen.
dations Of scientific men, who were requested by
the Legislature to report their views upon the SUB
act, Governor Jenison in his annual messages has
repeatedly urged this measure upon them: still
every proposition Of the kind has been uniformly
rejected"

about the provision in the Revenue bill before
Congress laying a duty on tea and coffee. This
is called Wing British, &c. tea tax; this is un-
just. The proposition originally came from the

The report, after speaking Of other modes Of
revenue, says: -
"Anotler mode Of raising the same amount of rev

THE VETO, &c.

M THE VETO, &c.
The President of the United States, in the exercise
of power vested in him by the Constitution, it seems
has aroused feeling of hostility to him in the ultras
of the Wing party, which is far from that spirit Of
compromise and concession necessary to sustain the
ascendancy of the party now in power. The envy
of political perfdy in the President, is sounded by
all the presses who sustain men rather than mea-
sures, and an the clique who followed in the wake
of the most prominent leaders. The Wing presses
generally (y, almost universally as soon as Mr..
Ewings plan Of Bank brought forward, ex-
pressed their ene appreciation of it as measure of
compromise, and advised lis adoption but when Mr.
Clay, from committee to whom it was referred, gave
the whole clan TO understand that he wished Bank
established whh or without the consent of the States
presto the whol fry changed their notes. and clamor

The Senator from New York had contended that

on which vote was taken is bill giving the
Thanking privilege to the widow Of the late Pre-

tablished in the case of the widows OF former
Chief Magistrates of this nation.

the House on the twenty third of August by
majority of thirty one, -125 yeas to ga nays.
The bill received no amendments in the Sc
nate. It is already enrolled, and will receive
the signature of the President Of the Senate and
the Speaker tomorrow morning, and then will
be sent to the President for his final action.

amendments to the Fertilization BILL and passed
the House bill giving the franking privilege to

The Revenue bill and the Diplomatic Appro-

on the table Of the Senate. A speedy action is
expected on both Of these bills,-the former
having already been under discussion several
days before the Fiscal Corporation was taken
up.
