WHAT RELIGION Is-Whateyer definitions
men have given Of religion, ! can find none SO
accurately descriptive of it as this-that it is
such belief of the Bible as maintains living
influence upon the heart. Men may speculate,
criticise, admire, dispute about, doubt, or be-
lieve the Bible; but the religious man is such
because he so believes it, as to carry practi-
cal sense of its truths on his mind.

Subscribers to newspapers make complaint
of the non-arrival of their papers, and in some
instances intimate that the loss is occasioned
by the fact of the postmasters loaning to his
neighbors the papers of others for perusal. The
papers fail to be returned to their proper place
and hence the dissatisfaction. Postmasters are
strictly forbidden to loan newspapers that are
in their Offices for delivery s.T .

SPIRIT OF THR MORNING PRESS.

The I"teiiigsneer, commenting on the veto,
says:
However valid this argument might be
Tor member Of either House of Congress in
voting against the bill, 1t is not of itself suf-
hcient to justify the interposition of the veto
by the President 1t does not belong to the
class Of cases in the contemplation of the Con.
stitution when it clothed the President with
the veto power. This is distinction which
We have employed the labor of years in vain
TO establish, if it be not familiar to the regular
readers OF our journal. The exercise Of the
VstO in such cases to nullify the public gIR
we conceive to be a stretch Of the power which
mas impelled Us so long and so earnestly To
advocate its modification and abridgem emit If
not its entire abrogstion. This high preropa-
tive was designed, "a every body knows "a
the extreme medicine Of the Constitution. TO
De administered only in extreme cases: but
II mas become Its daily food, and, being per
verted from Its original and wholesome pur.
pose, the natural and proper working of our
Poliucal system demand that more precise
limitations be set to the application of the

sage, says
I'm the execution of his duty, if his inves-
hgaton into the merits Of the claims b ad fail
ed to satisfy his mind as to their injustice, W
doubt not that he would have cheerfully and
gladly shown his Difference to the two house,
by approving the bill. But when this investi
CATION left his mind without doubt as to the
lnvalldity Of the claims, he felt himself con.
strained as absolutely to within Id his appro-
val from the bill as he would have done if he
had become satisfied that its provisions were
unconstitutional. Neither in the constitution
nor In the presidents of the several Execu
nves Is there to be found any settled ard de.
hned rule tor the exercise of the veto. Mos,
men now agree that when the President be.
heves measure unconstitutional, tits his du
ty to withhold his signature; even this ruIe
has not always been acquiesced in as proper,
though 1t Is now the settled popular sen ii
ment The constitution, however, prescribes
no such rule, that instrument declares that s.if
the PRESIDENT approve a bill, he shall sign IL;
ne do not approve, he shall return it with
his objections" 1t does not distinguish be-
tween objections for constitutionaIiry and
those for inexpediency.

The Business of the Patent Ofics.-One
effect Of the admirable and so satisfactory
management Of the branch of the Govern.
ment's affairs entrusted to Judge Mason, Com.
missioner of Patents, hss been greatly to in
crease the business of ais bureau; inventors
and improvers evincing an increased dispo
sitien to apply to it, than when its affairs were
conducted in less business like matter. Other
causes, among them being the constant pres.
sure of all things American on the march of
progress, have also conspired greatly to in.
crease the demands on the labors of those en-
gagged at the Patent Office. The force of ex
aminers now allowed by law proves, as q con-
sequence, to be already much too small for
the economical and busine s. like discharge of
the duties deyolving upon it. In his annual
report, now in the hands Of the printer, the
Commissioner appeals to Congress to remedy
this evil, saying:
Among these may be reckoned, in the
hrst instance, an increase Of salary to some of
the examiners. In the report for last year it
was stated hat the examining force had been
augmented by placing an additional clerk in
each OF the examining rooms as q second as
slstant examiner. The dispatch of business In
the office was much facilitated by this arrange
men., which was, however, found inadeq uate
