Badger, Cruenden, and Ewing,) have already

The subject of the Veto was taken up today, and
warmly discussed for about six hours. Mr.. Bolts
commenced the debate by saying that he had nc
cused the President of peridy and reachery, and
that he would prove his charges, as he was bound
to do, or bear the odiunl of having made false |
accusation. lie criticised the Message very Sc
verey, and said he was sorry the President had
not practised upon the the theory he so warmly |
recommended, of extreme caution in the exer- |
Else of the Veto Power. The President objected |
to the tile of the bill, which runior said origina-
ted with hmsei-and next that the BIZ was con
sisent with its title. He objected TO tue provls-

the country since the year 1884. Why did HE
President allow himself to be put forward us the
candidate of party whose views he knew he
could not support. He admitted all that would
be claimed by the friends OF the President as TO
his course in relation to Il INK, III former years
but there was great reason to believe, and he did
most firmly believe that those opinions had chan-

like aversion to Banli-and he would state, upon
his own responsibility that he had feard the Pres

that he believed National Bank was indispensa

that the country could not get along without sucl

purse before the people, his preference for good
United States Bank notes.
