the condition of affairs in the Territory, I could
not mistake the path of duty. As Chief Exe-j

appointed a new Governor and other federal!
officers Mr Utah ami sent with them a military 1

With the religious opinions of the Mormons,

cases where justice tu individuals may demand

taken that the money granted by Congress shall
be fcith folly and economical applied.
V Under the federal constitution, "every bil
whi Ji ahall have passed the House of Represen
tatives and the Senate shall before it becomes a
law," be approved and signed by the President;
and if not approved, "he shall return it with his
objections to that house in which it originated."
In order to perform this high and responsible
duty, sufficient time must be allowed the .Presi
dent to read and examine every bill presented to
him for approval. Unless this be afforded, the
constitution becomes a dead letter in this par
ticular ; and even worse, it becomes a means of
deception. Our constituents, seeing the Presi
dent's approval and signature attached to each
act of Congress, aie induced to believe that he
has actually performed this duty, when, in truth,
nothing is, in many cases, more unfounded.
From the practice of Congress, such an exam
ination of each bill as the constition requires,
has, been rendered impossible. The roost impor
tant business of each session is generally crowded
into its last hours, and the alternative pr-sented
to the President is either to violate the constitu
tional duty which he owes to the people, and ap
prove bills which, for want of time, it is impos
sible he should have examined, or by his refusal
to do this, subject the country and individuals to
great loss and inconvenience.
Besides, a practice has grown up of late years a

to specific appropriations for carrying into effect
existing laws and the well established policy of
the country, and little time was then required by
the President for their examination.
For my own part, I have deliberately determi
ned that I shall approve no bill which I have not
examined, and it will be a case of extreme and
most urgent necessity which shall ever induce
me to depart from this rule. I therefore respect

erto so constantly suspended in practice, that
important bills continue to be presented to him
up till the very last moments of the session. In
a large majority of cases no great public incon
venience can arise from the want of time to exa
mine their provisions, because the constitution
has Declared that if a bill be presented to the
President within the last ten days of the session
he is not rexuired to return it, either with an
approval, or with a veto, "in which case it shall
not be a law." It may then lie over, and be ta

inconvenience would only be experienced in re

the late excellent law allowing a salary, instead
of a per diem, to members of Congress, the ex

be greatly reduced.

The writer, became acquainted with the deceased,
soon after ho came to this place; and there exist
between them, from that time to his departure,;
hence, relations of the most friendlv character.
For the last few months, having had control, of
the Financial department of the Office, thereby
being thrown in close and daily intercourse with
him, we thus had some, opportunity, to judge- of
the worth of his character: lie possessed a child
like simplicity, joined to a high order of talent, re
fined by cultivation, which was remarkable. Yet
we could occasionally observe, that a dark cloud, I
eemed to hang over his mind, which would tem
porarily, obscure the brightness of the lumiiuiry
within. We then attributed, this peculiarity, to a
naturally melancholy mood, not at all suspecting.

MARRIPD,
At New Orleans, on the 26th of Nov. hv the
Rev. Mr Afoynaghan, Thomas D. Watts, formerly ipretty much in the same way, and from the affection
Iwhich he hau tor Mr. Wightman could not bear
the idea of surviving him. He had been at tin
same College in Georgia, with Mr. W. where they
became acquainted
We have' thought proper, thns delicately to al
lude; to the circumstances, connected, with the
death of these two, who wore found together in
the same bed last Friday morning, at the Shemwell
House. The written record of their determination
to commit suicide, only strengthens our conviction
that they were both led to the terrible act, while
under an aberration of mind
Those well acquainted with Mr. Wightman,
knew best how to appreciate his many virtues,- and
although at times, he wrote articles seemingly
offensive, to those unacquainted with the purity of
his motives, yet, those of his political opponents,
who were intimate with him, often expressed their
admiration of his talents, and their appreciation
of the sincerity of his friendship.
Strange to say, on that 1 hurt-day, for the first
time during Mr. Wightmaii's Editorial supervision,
the Carolinian failed to make its appearance to its
town and couutry readers on the usual, day of pub
lication, with the exception of the Saturday of the
week, of our last County Fair at which - time the
day was changed. On Thursday, perplexing hin

is no part of the Democratic platform. lie floated
n this same plank several years ago when he nt
tempted to try his hand for Congress. After tha
