VETO OF THE FRENCH SPOLTATIOy BILL
To the Senate of the United States:

| return to the Senate, in which it orr
ginated, the bill entitled san act to pro-

ton OF claims of American citizens for
spoliations committed by the French prior
to the 3lst ofJuly, 1907, which was pre-
sented 70 me on the 9th inst, with my OBJ
jections to its becoming law.
In attempting to give the careful exami-
nation it requires, difficulties presented
themselves in the outset, from the remote
ness of the period to which the claims be-
long, the complicated nature Of the trans
actions in which they originated, and the
protracted negotiations to which they led
between France and the United States
The short time intervening between the
passage of the bill by Congress and the
approaching close of the session, as well
as the pressure of other official duties,
have not permitted me TO extend my
examination of the subject into It's mi
mute details. But in the consideration
| have been able to give it, | find objec-
tons of grave character TO It's provisions.
For the satisfaction of the claims provi-
ded for, it is proposed to appropriate 3d.

equitable ground upon which this large ap-
preparation can rest. A portion of the
claims have been more than half centu

them had their origin in events which oc
cured prior to 1900. Since 1902 the!

The writer in conclusion, says: 1t cannot be
more fully proved from the location and history Of
Lowell, that it was intended to be a manufacturing
place, or from the situation of New York that il
was intended TO be a mart OF commerce. than that
Nauvoo was intended to be den Of thieves; and
well has it fulfilled its destiny
Tho reader will undoubtedly shudder at the re-
cital Of such daring iniquity. and yet similar
deeds Of darkness of almost daily occurrence at
the far-iamed city Of Nauvoo. But the worst of
all is, that an attempt is made 10 palm off such
gross impurity under the name and garb of relig-
ion. when it is evident that there is as great con-
traSt between MormoDsm and Christianity, as
there is between midnight darkness and MONDAY

ion, excel the absurd, corrupt aud corrupting doc
lrnes of Mormonism, as far as wisdom excelleth

ture
at seems strange, that while the profit of agri-
culture varies to per cent, that ofmanufactures
is more than double. The reason is, that whilst
the high duties secure nearly monopoly Of the
home market to the manufacturer, the farmer and
planter deprived TO great extent the foreign
market by these duties The farmer and planter
are, to great extent, forbidden to buy in the for
eign market, and confined to the domestic articles
enhanced in price by the duties. The Tariff is
thus a double benefit TO the manufacturer, and a
double loss to the farmer in nearly monopoly OF
the home market and in enhanced prices Of their
fabrics, and loss to the latter in the payment Of
those high prices, and in total or partial exclusion
from the foreign market The true question is,

The VERMONT PHILOSOPHERS Davenport
Of Brandon, who has for number of years been
distinguished for his close and deep Investigations
in physical science, has recently made an exhibit
ton before body of scientific men of an applica-
ton which he has made Of electro magnetism to
the propelling Of machinery. BY this agency a
trip hammer is made to fly almost with the rapidity
of lightning, and rotary and reciprocating engines
work with admirable correctness.
In summing up the grand principles of galvansm
and electro-magnetism, Mr.. ID. advances the by
pothesis that the is a magnificent gavanic bat
terry, and that the earth and all the planets take
their motions from the current of galvansm evolved
by that great lumnary and what is singularly won
deriul, he proves by the laws of electro magnetism
that the planets may have originated from the sun
without diminishing the power size of that great
dispenser of light and heat.
Indeed, as says the editor Of the "Voice," there
can be but little doubt but that the development OF
this principle is yet to astonish the world and there
is more than shadow of possibility that as utili-
tartan philosopher our humble Davenport may one
day rank with Franklin. Who is prepared TO say
his theory of the planetary system is not correct
May he not only be second Franklin, but an
American Newton. Even should he advance no
further Vermont has much to be proud Of in him.

MIR CALHOUN ON THE TERMISATIoE OF THE TREA-
TY WITH GREAT BEIrAIS RESPECTING OREaoN
From the National lntelligencels report of the con-
cuson OF the debate on the resolutions of Mr. Hanne-
gan, concerning the Oregon boundary, which resulted
in ordering them TO lie on the table, we copy the fol-
lowing remarks of Mr. Calhoun:
Mr. Calhoun. am resolved that nv MEANING shah
not be distorted. made no war-cry; asserted a sim
pie proposition; and submit to the Senator himself
whether that proposition be not correct! said that
all those who denied that the question can be settled
by treaty, meant that il should be settled at the
mons mouth. Can any one deny this! is there
man within the reach Of my voice who will dispute
this assertonf And is this war cry, 10 announce
what the Senator himself knows TO be true9
BY adopting these resolutions, you deny The mower
Of this government TO settle the question by treaty:
and, denying that power, you intend as the only al.
tentative, 10 resort TO force. make no war-crv nor
peace.cry. mean to assert that our duty oblees us
TO make an effort for pacific adjustment of the cues
ton by negotiation. regard the honor and interests
OF this country US highly any man can do, but will
not be precpitated into which solempy be-
ieye will lead us into war, that may be, hope, hon
oraby avoided.
Sir, do not intend 10 anticipate the discussion
which will arise upon the resolution of The Senator
from Ohio in relation to the termination of the treatv
! am ready for that discussion whenever il NAV come
up; and hold the Senator to be mistaken in tbst The
propositions now submitted have no connection with
his own; Tor IT, in point Of fact we cannot settle The
question by treaty under the Constitution Of his
country II is OF little Importance whether notice be
given or not. But If il be settled by neQotiatons
il peace can be preserved consistently with the nation
al honor then there may be powerful reasons Painst
the adoption OF the resolution of the Senator from
Ohio, as shall be prepared 10 show when that reso
luton comes up.

cultural products and in the attempt to secure
them as purchasers, so small in number, and not
consuming one-half the supply of many countries.
the farmer and planter are asked to sacrifice the
markets ofthe world, containing a population of
eight hundred millions, disabled from purchasing
our products by our high duties on all they would
sell in exchange. The farmer and planter would
have the foreign market also to a much greater ex-
tent but for the total partial prohibition Of the
last Tariff
We have more fertile lands than any other ma.
ton, can raise greater variety ofproducts. and it
may be said, could feed and clothe the people of
nearly all the world. The home market, of itself
is wholly inadequate for such products They must
have the foreign market, or large surplus, accom-
psled by great depression in price, must be the re.
suit. The States Of Ohio Indiana and Illinois, if
cultivated to their fullest extent, could, of them
selves, raise more than sufficient food to supply the
entire home market"
