der to be sent up there. We would be in
session for some days yet, and if new advices
came down from the frontiers, it would be
time enough for action.
Mr. FOLSOM said that he had seen enough
of sending out parties Of volunteers on hasty
and unreliable alarms They always got up
a difficulty where there was none. He did
not believe single citizen on the frontier
was in danger, and if we get reliable or Off
cial news from there, in three hours we could
take all the action necessary.
The resolution was indefinitely postponed.

VETO MESSAGE.
The following veto message from the Gov

EXECUTIVE OFFICE, !
ST.. PAUL, Minn., June 25th, 1858.
Hon. Thos. Conan, President pro tenn Of the
Senate:
SIR Herewith I return to the Senate,
S. F. No. 16l, an act to legalize three roads
leading from Wabashaw to Rochester, with
out my approval Sec 81 OF the 4th article
of the Constitution provides, That "no law
shall embrace more than one subject, which
shall be expressed in its title" find in this
act authority to establish toll bridge, au-
thorizing A. B. Roe, or his legal representa-.
tives, to charge toll until the first of January.
1870. This is clearly subject other than
that of the three roads and not expressed in
the title of the law. 1t also conflicts with
section 2 of article 10, mo corporation shall
be formed under special acts except for mu-
nicpal purposes" By this special act, j. b.
Roe, or his legal representatives become
become body corporate for the time mem
toned in said act, and in direct violation Of
the act recited above. Corporations having
no banking privileges can only be authorized
under general laws. For these reasons
have withheld my approval.
Respectfully yours,
w. HoLcoMBE,
Governor, ad interim.
On motion, the matter was laid on the ia
Bile until to-day.
