MADISON. Feb. IA. Is!

The principal items Of business of the Senate
was the veto ofthe Governor on the bill to amend
charter of Rock River Union Valley Railroad.
The objections are partly constitutional The
bill embraces more than one subject, and the Ii.
tie does no, express the object, and ha, i. grants
unconstitutional powers.
Also tia; it grants powers so extraordinary as
to be contrary to public policy, allowing the com
pany TO build from Beot to Madison, from James
vile to Lake Superior, from The south line Of
the State TO Wisconsin River, from thence to
Willow River, aud from the Wisconsin River to
Beaver Dam.
The impression is general tia: the objections
are well taken and that the bill canDo, pass.

In debate upon the exemption Of certain prop
erty from execution, III the Assembly Yesterday,
Mr. Toay, from Iowa, stated that the Homestead
Exemption law had operated very much 80 the
dctriment Of the poor men Of his section, dcpriv-
ing them of the credit which they before had -
We should like to gnow upon what principle this
difference was made Before the passage of that
law, ninc-tenths of the persons engaged in min
ing were as eiiecIually exempt from execution
as since, for the reason that they had neither
homestead nor personal effects subject TO forced
sale and Us one Of that class for many wears,
we can vonch that no man of good character ev-
er suffered for the credit necessary TO secure
him in the comforts of life in that section. Fur.
thermore, il is the testimony of all persons who
We're engaged in business in the early sote-
ment OF that region of country, that debts were
never more punctualIy paid than at the period
pTlur 10 tho establishment of courts Of law, and
credit was quite as frequent and as extensive as
at any time since. One extensive smoter and
trader has often assured us that with $4,000 900
trusted out at a time, no felt more security for
prompt payment than after he had courts of law
to appeal to. Integrity, and not property, is tho
proper basis of credit, and will command credit
when property will not.

FRIEND CLEMENT

FRIEND CLEMENT:
From the association of long residence in Keno
sha, have strong desire to address you in rela-
ton to the project for improving the unfortunate
condition of our misnamed city,
The contrast between the time when this place
was prospecting under its simple aspirations and its
now prde-fallen state and empty sounding name,
is SO plain to the mind of every one here, that
shall not draw the first picture and scarcely the lat
ter, except to remind you of what are becoming
every day occurences-the failures and consequent
Houses and Stores to let" whose emptiness stares
at the old resident and the stranger as the ghost of
what was once busting activity-of mechanics and
laborers many departing for good, some seeking a
share of city patronage, many planning a remove
to California if she outfit is attanable-others TO 90
for longer or shorter time to the nearest railroad
works. 1t is in this condition of affairs that the
well wlshers of kenosha look around to see what
part of the fence the niger is in.
independently of the embarrassed condition Of
the whole country, another cause, think, steps in
tending to the prostration of this place-that of
over-taXation-ana amount more than Two HuypRED
or less property taxpayers of Kenosha can stand at
present: this impression of mine being strengthened
by the general plea of those speaking of pecuniary
difficulties, that all the money they could raise has
gone to pay taXes-and the proportion of the tax
payers who could not pay and have allowed their
lands to be sold is large, Such being prevalent
excuse or whatever we may call it, we are natural
ly disposed to see how far true In an estimate of
the amount that this village or rather city, plat,
pays the year 1851 Cor debts contracted, which is
the same thing) including the city fiscal year not
ended, we find the amount to exceed 1923 900, made
