LocOfocoIsl6 q, IIle veto Power.

Sam MeGary, in his New Constitu'
ton" copies, and publishes without dis
sent, an article from another paper, ad-
vocating such change as to confer the
Veto Power on the Governor, and to re-
strict the Legislature from passing any
acts not previously discussed and pro-
posed. 1t proceeds:
"Another provision is demanded--the
Veto-so that the people may not be
crushed by an oligarchy, or banded crew
of log. rolling Legislators, who buy and
sell us at pleasure, like cattle in the mar
ket.! No government can be RePH6f''

so that bad men may not engraft lyrannIcal

should be proposed in the public prints
ere it is enacted, aud that if passed "a
gainst the public will, no Governor would
dare sanction it unless disposed to stem a
torrent that would consign himself and
party to ignominy. Numbers may dc
wrong in Legislative Eolis, that single
Executive would shudder tn accomplish
Hence We look to Veto as a social mora
and political good, and in all our reforms
shall advocate it boldly"
We are, as ever, fast friend to the
new Constitulion; but such doctrines, a;
the above, in this our day, cannot be
swallowed. We want no 'one man pow

The Wabash CauaI.

This canal connects the Ohio river at Ev-
ansville, with Lake Erie at ToledC-and will
be probably the longest canal in the United
States o. in the world. The Ohio portion,
extending from Toledo to the State line, is
81 miles in length; and from the State line to
Evansville, 1t is 374 miles in length-making
total of 458 miles! The boats are now
running on the canal down to Terre Haute,
and much of the work is now in hands be-
tween that place and Evansville. From this
place the canal is dug about IS miles-and
the intermediate portion is all under contract.
So that the canal will soon be completed to
this point. Connecting with this canal, and
las remarked by cotemporary, substantially
a part of the same work, is the great Miami
cana al, extending from the junction to Gin
cinnati. a distance of nearly 200 miles more.
The magnitude of this work, and the sue
cess which has attended its commencement
and progress. illustrate what men can do
when they try-and offer the strongest en-
Icouragement TO those now seeking to advance
enterprises of less Importance. This canal
was commenced too at a period when the
utility of internalimprovemcnts had not bees
so forcibly presented to the western mind, anc
when our own State numbered but compare
lively small portion Of its present popula.
ton. But its completion will have changed
much of the country traversed by it, and ad
ded to that country's population and resour
ces. 1t will build up towns, and change
towns into cities. 1t will open new trade
to these cities, and new markets to the interi
or. Its object was to benefit the aot9ie coun
try through which its route was laid. anC
that object will be carried out. Thus is illus
Itrated the fact, that when men have a grea
object in view, and labor strong and unitedly
success will attend their efforts. Let those
then engaged in smaller yet important enter
prises. feel encouraged by the progress OF th'
Wabash and Erie Canal.

Decrease of Health.

The unparalleled success ofDr. Banning 1n
dsposing of his Body Braces to the ladies OF
Evansville, is most melancholy affair to con-
template. A few weeks back ou ladies were
quietly resting under the belief, with few
exceptions, that they were in the enjoyment
OF good health and very toIerable constitu-
tions. But with regret we are forced to be-
lieye the horrible truth, that thy care laboring
under all manner of nervous and spinal affec-
tions. accompanied with such general debility.
as to render the use Of the Body Brace indis-
Pensible. BY the eloquence of his tongue.
DIR. B. apparently convinced crowded houses
ofladies, that they were laboring under great
mistake in congratulating themselves they
were in the enjoyment ofsuch health as pre-
cluded the use of his famous brace The con-
sequence was, very large box of braces
quickly disappeared, and the ladies are nov
walking about with the most tuncompromising
uprightness Of carriage, and with thoughts
evidently fixed on the heavens. BY calcu-
lation made with great deal of care, we find
tae. Doctor sold just as many Braces, minus
six, as there are ladies in town. What re-

Steamer Oregon.

This new, mammoth and splendid steamer
was at Evansville yesterday morning from
N. Orleans-her first trip up the river. Be
tween the Crescent City and this point she
made sixty-one landings, yet her trip was
made ga less than six days. This proves the
Oregonone of the fastest boats on the river,
and certainly she is one of the most splendid.
We were escorted over her cabins by the Off
GERS, and in them (the cabins, not the ofIiccrs)
recognized something more superb than we
ever saw iR our western steamboat palaces.
The Ladies' cabinis furnished splendidly, and
is decidedly the most beautiful parlor on any
steamboat IN the west The carpet is rich
velvet-chairs and sociables of rose wood COW
cred with the most expensive satin damask-
marble top rose wood tables-rich curtains
bridal chambers, &c. And that reminds US,
that Captain Montgomery has offered US the
use ofone of these splendid chambers, just
when it suits our convenience to take we'd
ding tour on the Oregon! We shall avail
ourself of the invitation first convenient op-
portunity. The Oregon can carry twelve
hundred t)ns freight. She reflects great cred
itupon N. Albany and Louisville, where she
was built and finished. Capt Ned Montgom-
eFy,is in command, while his coadjutor, Mr..
Brown, is located in the office. The Deans.

The GEN GAINEs.-In the Louisville
Democrat of last Saturday there is published
a card. purporting to come from the Chair
man and Secretary of a meeting held by the
passengers Of the steamer Gen. Games, i'll
which card the officers of the Gen Games
are abused most roundly in a satIrical way,
for impositions Of every nature placticed on
the boats last trip from st. Louis to that CITY.
We do not know any thing Of the particulars
of this trip, but we do know the officers Of
the Gen. Gaines are regarded as among the
most accommodating gentlemen on the river.
We have travelled with them, and have found
them disposed in every manner to make pas
sengers comfortable, and at every reasonable
sacrifice of their own comfort. The boat set
an excellent table, and her sleeping arrange
ments were comfortable as those Of other
boats of her size. Capt Johnson is too we'll
known TO be injured by such card as that
published in the Democrat Mr.. Endrillin,
the clerk, against WHOM the pronuncimento
was especially issued, is the last man OH the
river against whom such charges could be
itruthfuly made The same crew of officers
have been together on several steamers and
this is the first time their character has been
Iimpeached. We take it that this meeting il
ever such was held at all, was composed Of a
few milk and water gentlemen. such as we so
often find on steamers, who disappointed in
their desire TO monopolise the best of every
thing, and realize those comforts on crowd
ed steamer they might find on those boats
too unpopular to secure crowds Of passen-
gers-vented their disappointment in ID ri

Congress-.

There will doubtless be an exciting con-
test for Speaker in the House, which may
probably delay the organization. The bal
ance of power seems to be in the hands OF the
Free Soilers. Everything is groundless spec
ulation as to who stands the best chance for
the speakership.
This will be an important session of Con
gress. Its business will be more laborious
and comprehensive than usual, as the Nation
al Intelligencer remarks. owing to the in
crease of the number and variety of objects OF
legislation by the addition ofhalf a continent
to our territory. Recommendation can be made
of them. Those of the highest importance
seem to be the political condition and wants
of our new and vast Territories west of the
present frontier States; the Improvement OF
the national highways by land and by water ;
the revision ofthe Tariff with a view to rev
enue, and incidentally to the protection OF
Home Industry; provision for the census OF
the United States to be taken within the en-
suing year, and the legislation, if any be re-
quired for carrying into effect new or deferred
stipulations by Treaties. The annual Re
ports will of course be read, and the necessa-
ry appropriations be pertinent subjects oI
considerations There is much to be done in
| deed.
The Senate is Democratic decidedly ir
complexion, yet we think any Democrat who
labors under the idea, that the power Of the
majority will be exacted to impede and trouble
the. President N his labOrs. will find himself
egregiously mistaken. We believe it will ac
