2 Resolved. That the recent developments
in the Free States, and especially the attempt

anxious to bury all minor differences of opinion
and make common cause with the otherSouth-
ern States in the most energetic manner pos
sible to maintain their common rights
4. RESOLVED, That the State Of South Caro-
lima will regard the passage of any act by the
General Government upon the subject of Sla-
very, in violation of the rights of the South, as
annulling the obligations of the Federal Com

will consider herself at liberty to form a new,
seperate, and distinct Government

ANOTHER VETO MESSAGE.

President Polk bids fair TO excel even
John Tyler in the matter of Executive We
los. On Wednesday he returned to the
House of Representatives bill passed the
last day of the last session, entitled "An
act to provide for continuing certain works
in the Territory Wisconsin, and for 9th
er purposes" with message full FIVE COL
umns long, vetoing the same. The reas-
ons he assigns for his course are the same
he gave year ago for his veto Of the Riv-
er and Harbor bill. 1t is now under dis
cussion in the House, and receives pretty
severe handling from all parties. The
President has no constitutional scruples
about spending hundred millions or so,
in fighting handful OF miserable Mexi-
cans, but the expenditure Of a few thous-
ands to improve the navigation of our
Western lakes g. rivers is clearly beyond
the power of the GeneralGovernme ni!The
Message does not possess sufficient inter-
est to warrant its publication.
