The Veto Power.

Coy. Biglcr, says the Harrisburg Ameri-
can, has already vetoed several bills, and
the Democratic Union gives out that there
is TO be an indiscriminate use Of this AZ
bitrary power during the present admins
tration. 1t hints that the Bank bills,
though they may possibly pass the hegis-
lature, will be strangIed by the EXecu-
tive. We hope this may prove true.
We would like TO see the Democracy take
the responsibility of these measures upon
their own shoulders, and we think the
Wings in the Legislature should not in
terfere in the passage Of these bills at all.
In our opinion they should step aside and
let the Democracy take the whole rcspon-
sibility of passing them. In their presses
and on the stump they are continually de-
nouncing these Institutions, and when they
come before the Legislature they are
amongst their warmest advocates. Nearly
all the banks that are asked for, are aske
by locofocos, so let them Iegislate them
selves, and the people will see how they
are humbugged on this subject. We
should like to see the Wings in body
wash their hands of all participation in any
legislation for the charter of Banks.

-, nf March Convention.


The 4th of March Convention.
This body assembled at Harrisburg at
the aDpeinted time, and after duly labor
mo in the cause, brought fourth ten cents
for President, and seven cents for Canal
Commissioner. Hon. VIM. Hopkins was
appointed President of the convention,
with 2l vice Presidents Davis Bates
among the number) and eleven Secretaries.
The preliminaries having been thus ar
ranged, the Buchanan men fell TO work,
and in a short time made mince-meat of
the corporals guard in favor of Cass, as
the following vote will show:

A somewhat unusual resolution was
next adopted to select committee OF "a
to report a double set of delegates to the
Baltimore Convention, all to be composed
of firm Buchanan men, with no other pre-
ference. This was violently opposed by
the friends of Cass, and protest submit
ted, signed by Davis Bates and others, but
it would not do-the Buchanan men had
the convention in their power, and seemed
determined to make the most of II. In
fact, they carried their Jokes so far, that
not being able TO find proper man for the
committee Of twentv-four among the dele
gates from this congressional district, the
President appointed II. {. Eyer, of Union

On the following day the delegation to
Baltimore was announced, and we dare

trict. For Presidential Elector, James

names of Judge Wilson as delegate 10 the
