moral 10 Congress for an appropriation 10
improve the navigation Of White river, a
motion was made by Mr.. Miller to recon-
slider the vote Of yesterday, refusing to
print the veto message Of his Excellency,
mentioned in my letter of yesterday, which
carried, and 1000 copies of that State paper
were ordered to be printed. The question
then recurring under the constitution, upon
the passage of the memorial, the objections
Of his Exceency notwithstanding, the con-
troversy amongst the locos soon became
very warm; the leaders made last effort to
draw the party lines on this question. Mr..
| Bay rearing the bell, as the true and right
full leader Of the party, rang loud and long
for the doctrines Of the veto; traced an OPP

Ultimate descent in the right line Of democ-
racy, from him down 10 his Excellency, the
true and genuine capW Of modern democ-
racy in Missouri. Mr.. James, notwithstan-
ding the caucus arrangement Of last night
by which the printing was agreed upon,
and "all things made ready" stood firm to
his post, showing himself upon this subject
an even match for the whole Of them-stll
insisting that Gov, Reynolds was a demo-
crat, aud he fageaied them with the name
Of President Polk most successfuy-said
he was accused Of being wing, but would
remind those 50 charging, of the vote of the
House yesterday, receiving the proceeds of
the public lands, that there were only sew
cnteen votes against that measure in the
House, that if he were wing, he was in
large majority on that suhject--said it had
been threatened by those against the me-
mortal, that if he persisted in advocating its
passage, he would lose the branch bank
from Springfield, and he would now say 10
gentlemen that if by such threats, they ex-
pected to cause him to abandon principles,
dear to the commercial interests of his part
of the State, they had mistaken their man;
that once for all, he would now say, the
branch bank might 60 to he'll. The ayes

majority Of all the members elected to the
House, the memorial was rejected. You
observe that with all the aid and strength.
which could be brought to bear for the
Governor, by the expected recipients Of
his Executive Favor, that he was decidedly
foiled by the House, and large ma ority Of
that House, his democratic friends.
This day has probably laid the foundation
in the Hcuse :oc another veto--the greater
portion of ii having been spent in the dis
cussion Of memorial to Congress for the
continuation of the Cumberland Road to
this State, which finally passed the House,
after many motions to amend postpone in
definitely, and lay upon the table, had been
rejected. The great difficulty was in SET
ting the point al which the road shall enter
this State, assuming it to be completed to
Nandalia, in the State of Illinois. Those
