the necessity of either giving my approval Il
n measure which, in my deliberate judgment
j. in conflict with great public Interests, or o
returning IL to the House IT. which II oftglnA'

for the massage Of a law which would tepir

For some nj thereaSpns which have hrnngh

/. The bill uniles Two subjects. which 81
fur from having any AFFINITY to one aheEhet
are wholly 1ncangrtous IN their character !
is both a revenue aad M appropriation bull
II thus imposes on the Executive, IN The mrs
tlare, the necessity Of either approving tina
which he would reject, or rejecting mat Whiei
he might otherwise approve. inns Is a Spe
eirs IL constraini 10 which the Judgment o.
the executive ought not, in my opinion, to be
subjected. But that is not my only objection
10 the act In its present form, The union 81
SUBJECTS wholly diSSimilar IN their character
ia the same bill, il il grew into a practice
would not fail 10 lead TO consequences de
s,ructive Of all wise and conscientious legls'
latfon. Various measures, each agreeable on
" to il small minority, might, by being thus
united, aud the more the greater chance o.
success, lead to the passing Of laws. Of which
no single provision could, il standing alone
command a majority In its favor,

IRENE embarrassment. requiring every doila'

Government has not only TO lay additional
taxes, but to borrow money to meet pressing
demands, The bill proposes to give away y
fruitful source Of cvenae-which is the same
thing as raising money by loan and taxation
not 10 meet the wants Of the Government
hut for distribution, a proceeding which
must regard as highly impelitie, II not I'M

A bret review of The present condition OF
the public finances will serve to illustrate the
true condition of the Treasury, and EXHIBIT It's
