SOuS TesnIOuuA - warehouse blll In the Sc.
nate-VetO OF the River and Harbor Bill.
The Senate agreed TO the amendment made by
the House 10 the Warehouse bill, and it therefore
only wants the signature Of the President TO be-
come a law
There was very interesting debate in the
House upon the Presidents veto message on
the River aud Harbo bill, and several members
awaited themselves of this opportunity to charge
the President with inconsistency and duplicity.
One of the objections to the bill was, that the
money appropriated for tins purpose was wanted
to carry on the war with Mexico. There is no
doubt but that there has been some log rolling in
this business, would be otherwise difficult 10
account for the sudden change in the position Of
the executive. 1t is highly probable that this bill
will pass by two-thirds vote and become law
Notwithstanding the Veto
This River and Harbor bill has been a sum-
bling block to several Presidents. President w.
Ter carried off one in his pocket and the first veto
of President Polk is on this bill.

taken on the subject Of Convention TO

doubted whether Convention can be prop
erly convened.
The Constitution of the State provides:

ter this Constitution shall have taken effect,
at the general election held for Governor,
there shall be poll opened, in which the
qualified electors OF the State, shall express
by vote, whether they are in favor of calling
a Convention or not; and ii there shall be a
majority Of all the votes given at such cleo

shall inform the next General Assembly
thereof, whose duty it shall be to provide by
law for the election of the members of
the Convention, the number thereof, and the
time and place of meeting; WHICH law shall
not be passed unless agreed 10 by MAORI
iy of the members elected TO both branches
of The General Assembly.
