1t has frequently been stated that the
veto power has not been used IN England
since the Revolution of 1885, This is a
mistake. A reader of English History
has handed us the following:
WILLIAM, the third, withheld the Roy
a assent from bill passed for lliennial
Parliments in 1902. Again in 1893. n
bill for impartial proceedings in ParIia'
ment was rejected by tho King. And IN
l605 the Royal assent was dcn'ed to a
bill for the better regulation of elections.
These acts Of WILLIAM rendered him
extremely unpopular, aud since his time

No Iscpmdinliom at Albany

The Albany meeting, instead of rcpa-
dating Gen. Taylor, turned out to be
very large and enthusiastic demonstra-
tion in favor of Taylor and Fillmore!-
the Albany Journal says: The meeting
last night was immense. Resolutions
we're passed, enthusiastically. 10 go for
TAYLOR and FmLMoRE-not dozen dis
senting. 1t was glorious meeting in
numbers and enthusiasm. No true man
can halt between Taylor and a Locofoco,
Onward, in spite of letters, is now tho

Old Zack's reply to tho Charleston
committee works both ways. 1t strength
ems the Locofoco opposition to him in the
South, and weakens the Wing opposition
to him in the North! The Charleston
Locos, failing to commit the old man to
veto the Free Ordinance of 1887, or to
distract and divide the Wings in the
South, have fallen back, Prindle and all,
into the Cass ranks, and the Northern
Wings have come out still stronger in
opposition to Cass and Van Buren.-Cin.

BILL educing the pay ofvolunteers' cloth

The people of Ohio do not pay taxes
to have them appropriated by their Leg
islature to pensions. That is the duty of
the General Government.
Nor can it be said, in excuse, that it
was only for temporary purpose. The
