Governors Veto.

We publish for the information of our rea-
ders the Governors Veto on the Free Bank
Bill, to which the attention of the Press is
directed. Its contents are:
L. An objection to the power given the
Auditor to change the stocks, to determine
the question of residence, and, in fact, to de-
eide whether a bank shall be wound up or
not.
q A complaint that the Governor and
Treasurer, on whom a share of the labor and
responsibility are devolved, already have
more TO do than they can attend to.
3. An earnest assertion of the necessity of
a separate BANK DEPARTMENT to have clisto-
dy of the securities, bills, plates, &c.
4. An objection that the stocks of any
State or Territory, may be taken at New
York brokers' prices.
5. A recommendation that no stocks be
taken but those of our own State and of the
United States.
We think that the objections and sugges-
tons of the Governor, are in themselves rea-
sonable Could they have availed in effect
ing the changes designated, it certainly would
have been much better for the pablo interest.

they had to takewhat they could get-half a
loaf was better than no bread. In our humble
opinion, the law as it passed over the G9yer-
nor's veto, is an improvement upon the
Free Bank Law of 1852.
We are in fauor of metallic currency, of
the currency recommended to the people by
ANDREW JACKSON, and are of the opinion that
the sooner we return to the policy of that Old
Hero the better will it be for the true interests
of the industrial clauses. But we have bank
ing system already, whose operations have
proved vastly detrimental to the welfare of
the community. The only practicable ques-
ton for the legislature was how to mitigate its
evils. 1t must be remembered that the de-
mocracy had to deal with Fusion majority.
Could anything better than the Bill adopted
be expected of a body, the larger portion of
which was made up of the peculiar oliments
of that ephemeral party

INDIANAPoLIs, March 6th 1855.
MEssRs EDITORS in your paper of this
morning, find the following notice of the
proceedings of the Legislature which adjourn
ed on yesterday
A report was made to show that loss of
10000 dolls, in the State script had fallen
upon the State while George H. Dunn and
Gen. Drake were Treasurers of State, and a
committee was appointed to investigate the
matter, and report to the next General Assem-
bly, 1t is to be hoped that the investigation
will be thorough, for a more loose system
could not be imagined, than has prevailed in
relationto thatscrip. No notes ought to have
been burned, but all cancelled with the ham
mer, as soon as they came into the Treasur-
ers hands, and kept until every outstanding
note had been taken up"
From an examination of the report of the
committee of Ways and Means, | see it is
there charged that portion of the Scrip or
Treasury notes redeemed by me while Treas
urer of State, had not been registered on the
books of the office from which they attempt
to infer there was something wrong, while
they admit that received credit on the books
only for the amount burnt ly the committee
of Ways and Means hence, no fraud could
have been committed on the State.
But, to sum up the whole affair, | will state
that no treasury notes were issued while was
Treasurer and that all that were redeemed by
me were handed over to the Committee on
Ways and Means, and by them burned in the
presence of the Committee and myself. and
that received credit on the books of the Of
flee for the amount which they certified they
had destroyed. These facts | am ready t
establish at any time. Suppose, however tn,
notes were destroyed without being register
ed, the State could not have lost any thing
thereby. JAMES P. DRAKE.

Russia a Prospective Market for
Cotton.

The Texas State Gazette thinks a trade in
cotton might be opened with Russia =
We have always thought that we had
something at stake in this war. Certainly, in
difference TO its issue is no part of our nature
at present, while England and France are the
principal parties in the struggle. There are
thirty millions of Russians who wear not a
cotton shirt to their. backs 4 direct trade
with Russia, after she should become master
of Constantinople, would in a few years Gre
ate a demand in our cotton market over and
above the present. Of double the amount of
the cotton crop of the United States.
All that is wanted to develope the resour-
ces of Russia for manufacturing is this great
desideratum, and when this is attained, the
millions of laborers in Russia viii enter at
once into competition with France and Eng
land, in supplying Europe and India with
manufactures Russian labor is cheaper than
English, and what manufactures are now es-
tablished exist without high tariff in their
! favor.

oST The late action of the officers of the
New Albany and Salem Railroad, autf .izing
their agents to receive none but the issues of
lives OF the Indiana Free Banks for freight or
passage over the Road, has created the most
marked dissatisfaction among travellers and
shippers The order is unjust, and entirely
uncalled for-making discrimination in fa-
vor of a few hanks in which some of the
Directory and officers of the Road are inter-
ested. The President of the Road will con-
suit Its interests by Immediately resembling
the odious order. We have ever been found
defending this Road from the attacks which
have been made upon it, when we thought it
due to justice. But we cannot but regard the
action of its officers in the above mentioned
case, as being arbitrary and censurable.

Know-Nothings Defeated in Newport.

The Democracy have gained a brilliant
victory in Newport, Kentucky-Mayor, Mar
shal, Treasurer, Attorney, Clerk, &c, everv-
thing elected.
The Cincinnati Enquirer remarks on the
significance of this victory:
Yesterday was a proud day for the Demo
cracy of Newport. They met at the inunici-
pal election the organized bands Of the Know
Nothing conspirators against equal rights and
civivil and religious liberty, and triumphantlv
defeated them. The contest was fierce and
desperate the Know-N Notnings fought hard
and made every effort to secure success. but all
TO no purpose. The Democracy were aroused
and well organized and when tha. is the case
they are invincible.
The Whig Know-NOthing proscriptionists,
who up to this tins, have been flushed with
victory, and who had begun TO look forward 20
the complete prostration Of the Democracy,
will be taken atack by thisreverse, inasmuch
as it indicates that the tide is turning against
them. 1t is the precursor Of other and mors
important defeats that they will soon sustain.
The same causes that led 70 the revulsion Of
opinion against them in Newport are at work
elsewhere. Especially does it foreshadow
their route III Cincinnati, where. last fail, they
counted their majority BY thousands. Their
defeat across the river is ike bomb thrown
into the KnowNothing camp here, which HIS

In the present instnace there is ono great
facility on our side, of which we have made
due use. We have been able TO shut up the
Russian navy, and secure our own merchant
service from the losses which have formed
so large an item in the cost of all former
wars. We are not aware of single mer-
chant vessel captured by the Russians, against
the many they have lost.
