VETO MESSAGE.

We give to our readers at the earliest practical
moment the of the President received by the
mornings mall for returning the bill for the collection
Of money and gipng array the proceeds public lands
We have time to make but single remark. The
Government owes debt of S30000,0Oo, which it
is bound by every consideration of duty and the com
monest principles of honesty to pay-to pay on de-
mand it is unable not only to meet that large debt,
but cannot pay the clerks and other persons in its
ployment; yet Congress insists upon giving away the
proceeds of the public lands, sacrificing every inter-
est of the country, rather than yield to the wishes of
the people, as expressed at the ballot boxes. If an
individual indebted beyond his ability 10 pay was to
give away portion of his property, every would
brand that individual with infamy, and the courts
would put their VETO upon the nefarious act. We
dare not deliberately sanction act of the Govern
ment, which, if performed by an individual, would
be infamous. Let the Government first pay its hon
est debts and then gue aray, if the people per-
nit, the land proceeds. We ask the serious and
candid consideration Of every one to the following
short extract from the message we publish below
''With all my anxiety for the passage of law
which would replensh exhausted Treasury, and
furnish sound and healthy encouragement to me-
chanical industry, cannot consent TO do so at the
sacrifice of the peace and harmony of the country;
and the clearest convictions of public duty"
