IowA.-We see from the returns of members
elected to the Legislature of Iowa Territory,
that our old friend and fellew.ctizen. SAMUEL
HOLIDAY, has been elected from the county
of Muscatine.
Mr.. Holiday was for many years cllzen
of this county, and as all honest and upright
citizen no man can say aught agalns. him-as
a Democrat, he stood in the front ranks OF the
party: and his constituents will find In him
man who will never betray their confidence.
1.-THE other counties in this young and flourish
ING Territory have been as fortunate III their
selections Of members TO the Legislature, as
Muscatine, the Democratic party OF Iowa may
well congratulate itself upon its future propects.

ten by the author, and addressed to the Coffee
House. at Richmond, has created no little fun in
House of Representatives disclosing, as it does, the
feelings of one, and perhaps several Others towards
the President, and their contemplate schemes for
turning the tables upon him. Seveal illusions have
been made to it in debate, much to the annoyance Of
its contemplate author. 1t made its first appearance
in the Madisonian so the Democrats come by it hon

DEAR SIR The President has finally re-
solved to veto the Bank bill 1t will be sent
in to-day at IL o'clock. 1t is impossible TO
tell precisely on what ground it will be placed.
He has turned and twisted and changed his
ground so often in his conversations, that 1t is
difficult TO conjecture which OF the absurdlties
he will rest his veto upon.
In the last conversation reported, he said his
only objection was to that provision which
presumed the assent of the States, where no
opinion was expressed, and if that was struck
out he would sign the bill. He had no objec-
ton to the location of branches by the directors,
in the absence of dissent expressed, but when
ever it was expressed, the power to discount
promissory notes must cease, although the
agency might continue, for the purchase and
sale OF foreign exchange. However, you will
see his message.
Our Captain Tyler is making a desperate
effort to Sc, himself up with the Loce Focos,
but bell be headed yet, and regret to say, it
of execration with both parties; with one for
vetong our bill, which was bad enough--with
the other for signing worse one but he is
to listen to the admonlion and entreaties Of
his best friends, and looked only to the whisper
ings of ambitious and designing mischef-ma-
kers that have collected around him.
The veto will be received without word,
laid on the table, and ordered to be printed.
TONIGHT we must and will settle matters,
quietly as possible, but they must be settled.
Yours, &c.
mo. M. ROTTS.
You'll get Bank bill, | think, but one that
will serve only to fasten him, and TO which no
stock will be subscribed and when he finds
out that he is not wiser in banking than all the
rest of the world, we may get better. The
excitement here is tremendous, but i: will be
smothered for the present.

AWFUL RIOT!!
Our city was thrown into great excitement

sequence of this two or three thousand persons
collected around the houses Of the negroes on
sixth street, east Of Broadway. The negroes
appreheasve Of an a1ray, had armed them
selves with muskets and tired upon the crowd.
The Mayor informs US that he thinks two
whites and two negroes were killed. and from
fifteen to twenty wounded, mostly whites.
During the atfray a cannon was brought up
loaded with slugs, and fred dqwn seventh street

wha, effect it is not yet known. The Mayor
was on the ground all night, called out two
military companies, the Grays aud Guards,
and both squares from fifth to seventh are guard
