THE VETO POWER

As much as this power has been denounced ny
the Wings as dangerous TO our rights and liber-
ties. believe il has never been exercised by any
President who has not been sustained by large
majority Of The people II was wisely inserted
into The Constitution, losuard against oppressive
or corrupt legislation; and if The latter has never
called for its exercise, The former has made il in
cumbent on several Presidents TO interpose the
veto 10 arcs, legislation conflicting with the letter
and spirit Of the Constitution. The veto may be
regarded as the great regulator which keeps Con-
gress within lis proper sphere of action. Strike
this conservative principle from The Constitution,
and not only the Executive, but The people them
selves would be exposed to every usurpaion.
Though The veto has been assailed as The only
monarchical feature in this great Magma Charter,
regard as one of The characteristics OF free go
vernmenr, and as essentially necessary 10 secure
and preserve our rights from oppression and cor
rupion, as the keystone is 10 the arch OF a build
ing. The one is as indispensable as the other
Had the President failed 10 veto The River and
Harbor Bill, he would have been recrcant 10 his
principles, 10 his country, and TO himself, and
would have Justly invoked The unqualified indig-
nation Of The nation; and though his objections to
the Spoialion Bill have been pronounced weak
and unsatisfactory, they are 10 my mind torcible
and conclusive ANXIOUS.

A CHAPTER OF CRIMES.

II
Epes, the Murderer suspected Of hartng 6,sisd ms
arm som. his mothsr-is.la,c, and also q Kentucky
drorer.
Since the fact has been established beyond The
shadow of doubt, that Epes, who is now al large,
is guilty OF numbering f. Adolphus Muir, laie
Of Dinwiddie county, he has also been strongly
suspected OF having caused the death OF several
other persons in the same county among
the number, his own son and the mother, or mo-
,her-in-law, OF Mrs. Epes. A few years since an
elderly lady-then an inmate, il we understood
correctly OF Epes' house-was taken suddenly Ill
and died. Al the death Of this lady, 1t seems,
large estate was likely 10 fall into The hands OF
Epes. as guardian OF his children, who were to be
The heirs OF their deceased relative. During The
brief sickness of the lady Epes was known 10 have
administered dose of medicine, or something
which he proiessed would give relief 10 her. The
dose had been given but short lime, when she
continued TO grow worse, and soon expired NO
thing was thought al the time, OF the sudden death
of the lady-her friends not dreaming for mo-
menl that she had been unfairly dealt with, |,
is only since the Developments in the Muir case
that suspicion has been excited towards Epes, IN
regard 10 her death. Ii has been only few years,
TOO, since son OF Els was killed, as reported at
the time of his death, by the accidental discharge
OF his gun while he and his father w. cambridge
Epes. we're out hunting. The account OF young
Epes' death, from the lips OF his own father being
so plausible at the time, no one OF course suspect
ed foul play; but now il seems, that The son was
heir to some properly which The father wished ~
ee, in his own possession. This circumstance,
taken in connection with Others leaves very lit
lie doubt that Epes is the murderer of his own
son. Nor does this end the chapter OF his crimes
He is now suspected of having murdered Dro'
yer, who has neither been seen nor heard from
since he was known to have gone TO Epes' house
10 collect of E. money for number OF hogs sold
This has been several years ago. and, as pref
" good evidence of suspicion being properi,
attached 10 Epes for disposing of the Kentucky
drover, the skeleton Of grown person was late
ly, within week or SO, we believe, found in al
ice house on the farm upon which Epes iormerl.
resided.-I Ys,ierdays Republican.

u,ions were offered by the Editor Of The Bangor
Wing, and unanimously adopted. The same re-
solutions were recently rejccted by the unaninsous
vote OF the Democrats in the Legislature OF
Maine:
"Whereas, during the administration Of This
Government, the slave power has for many Yeas
had an almost uninterrupted ascendancy, and has
repeatedly violated The Constitution Of the United
States, for the avowed purpose of protecting, ex-
tending and perpelualing the system OF slavery;
and
"Whereas, we regard American slavery as a
great wrong TO the slave, as being at war with
all our professions of Republicanism subversive
in its practical operation Of the rights OF the free
States destructive of our best interests and pros
periy, orlhy an intelligent people, and in its
influence, tending TO destroy The foundation OF
The American Union; therefore,
Resolved That it is the solemn conviction of
this Convention that The question of lis abolition
IN all places 'chc,e erisis under our national ju
risdiclion, and The question whether we shall re-
sis, is further extension and encroachment, by all
constitutional means, and deprive il OF all lis I'M
