THE GovERNoR's VEro MEssAGE.-The
veto of the Governor, which returned to
the House without his signature, on the
bill providing for the sale of certain
lands recognized as school lands in the
townships Of this State, was accompa-
MED with the following message:
If the lands to which this bill has ref
erence are already school lands. then it
requires no legislation; but if they are
not school lands, but enure to the State
under the provisions of the laws of the
United States, by which the swamp
lands are donated to the State, then the
proceeds of these lands, after their sale,
cannot be diverted from the purposes
specified in the acts of donation.
Article one hundred and twenty-eight
Of the Constitution declares that none Of
the lands granted by Congress to a
State for aiding it in constructing nee
essary levees and drains shall be d.
yerted from the purposes for which they
were granted.
The Legislature has the power of di-
~recting the manner in which the swamp
lands may be sold, but this bill recog-
nizes the lands il effect, and appropri-
ates the money derived from their sales
to school purposes. i.
