'swho owns the machine the Lafayette Co. Her
aid comes into the traces whining like whipd |
puppy, and hoists the Piratical bunting of Barstew
and the balance with flourish that shows |
intention to make up for lost time.
That popular young man" passed through |
here few days ago, and boosted to Gentleman
of this place, that be could set the Herald right
he could
The junior appears to have been reading the
proceedings Of the last Legislature and falls in |
love with Bill as the balance call him, for his
course during the last Legislature - his deter
minaton TO check whatever he conceived to be
wrong in principle" Now for one minute let
us what measures his excellency conceived to
be wrong in principle and hence was determined
: to check The Legislature passed a bill Tor
the suppression of intemperance; his excellency
did conceive that TO be wrong in principle, and
worse in practice and notwithstanding he knew
that large majority of the people of the State
now, and have been for year, in favor of and de
manding such a bill, he nevertheless checked it
with his veto. Again, under an act OF a former
Legislature which provided for the expenditure OF
less than $4,000, three men of straw. created by
his excellency. had sold a contract 10 ore Andrew
Proudit, binding the State TO pay him near half
million of dollars for by;iding to be erected
beyond the First Lake somewhat TO resemble the
Castle OF Perato. Some of the tax payers-as
though it was any of their busness-grumbled'
True said his excelIency, this would be rather a
big lit TO make directly from the pockets of tax
payers, but | have plan by which the money
can be raised without even being missed by them

one red. We will take those pieces of qpagmire
off your hands, and in return you shall have Lu
matte ASYLUM that shall be a source OF pride to
your State &c. The Legislature happened to
have unusual number of tax payers among
its numbers, and many of them would not see the
force of this executive argument they thought
that we held the swamp lands for other purposes
than to build a second tower of Babel beyond
Farwells mill, so after mature deliberation and
investigation the Legislature passed bill for an
act to arrest this enormous outlay OF the peoples
| money His eXceliency having consulted the
making of the contract, and having marked it
approved" in his hand writing of course
conceived this Shanghai Legislature to be wrong
and hence by another veto, checked it But
after having checked il at considerable expence
and wear and tear Of political honesty on the part
OF some of whom better things have been expec-
ted, the Executive conscience appears not TO have
rested well while this legislation WAS checked
Certain it is that hardly had the balance" con-
graduated themselves upon the failure of the
Shanghais' to carry the bill over the the Execu-
tive veto, when up jumps one of the Governors
special advocates IN the Senate and introduced a
bill watch no Lawyer, not even the iunr Of the
Herald, distinguish in its legal effect from the
checked bill The rules were suspended upon
motion of Of the balance" and the bill pass
ed both houses unanimously.
An otter instance-The Legislature and people |
became quite Disguised with the two brown pa |
per covered compilations labelled "Documenta- /
ry History" which had been inflicted upon the /
State at a cost of some fifteen to twenty thousand
dollars, the portion of which production having /
any claim TO originality being the last chapter /
containing some seventy or eighty pages of spe-
cial argument against the State, which had the
writing, printing, stitching and binding thereof 10
pay for, and in favor of certain specnic-. unon
an imaginary claim aGalpSt The State, which said I
spectators producing and reproducing before
diff rent Legislatures since the formation of orr |
State Government, and as two more volumns of I
the same sort were promised at great expense
the Legislature with great unininity passed a
bill for an act dispensing with further historical /
light and historical lore of the quality and price
Of the famous specimens already produced, this /
his excellency checked but his reasons therefor /
have never seen the light. These then are the
brill ant points which illuminated =" his course /
during the last session of the Legislate and which
entities him to the support of JacksonCl demo- /
Gratis and which point TO him the for the /
times.
V. hen the senior returns from the eastern part /
of the State where he is necessariaily detained on
business, We expect 10 have that account of the
fYne spirit of the action of the Convention We
suspect that il poor article and come from
Daerschlags.
