sum the Fire Society would cheerluy pay had it the
means, and ss it can pay bnt part, it thought
that the citizens OF the town would contribute 10
procure the necessary accouterments for the Com
pony. The Company, sooner than wait longer for
proper equipment, will pay Forty Dollars, and we
think that ii will not be asking too much from the
public to contribute literally for the protection and
preservation Of their property. II therefore you
will be kind enough to introduce the thing notice
through your paper, aud add such remarks as you
think would have tendency to awaken the public
interest on the subject, you would confer favor on
the Company.

In the Senate, yesterday, Governor
Seymour returned all the charters of the
Banks which had passed through both
Houses, with his VETO upon hem. This
extent of the veto power is probably ur.
paralleled in the history of the State.
We have stated concisely in our report
of the senate's proceedings. the reasons
which His Excellency gave for this sin.
gular exercise of power. Our limits to-
day will not allow Of an examination Of
Gem. The Senate will resume the con-
sideration of those charters to-day. II
requires only a majority of both Houses
to pass these bills over the veto.
1t will be observed that the CRY Elk.
TENSION Bill is postponed to the next LIE,
gislature.
In the House, three additional ballot,
ings by re- consideration were taken for

Printing the Laws.

The House of Representatives has
passed the resolution introduced by Mr..
Catlin, of Harwinton, which provides for
the printing and circulation of the laws in
pamphlet form, instead Of publishing
them in the newspapers. If our claw
makers " will, by means Of the proposed
change, give the laws such general CIR
culotion as to obyiate the necessity of
publishing them in the papers, we believe
they will receive the sincere thanks of
The editorial fraternity throughout the
State. So far as our experience goes.
and so far as our observation extends,
their publication has been regarded as a
burthen rather than as a benefit. Tie
meagre pittance which the State allows
therefor, would of itself be small in>
ducement for editors to occupy so large
portion Of their columns with such jar
gon. It's the consideration that the peo-
pie desire and ought to know by what
laws they are governed, which ensures
their currency through the pu bic press.
If the State is unwilling to allow a
fair remuneration to the publishers Of
newspapers, for giving circulation to the
laws,the sooner the contemplated change
takes place the better.
