Alter och a NtMr, Uia rreaidtmf disapprobation
of Ihe bill -could nrt have been anlicipitetl. It wa
presented to him on the 'dud of .March, 133, It was
not returned aa Ihe cuinttHiition require, but wa re
tained by bun after the expiration ot hi official term,
and until the next trmum of Conjrew., which bad no
power to rt upon it II wa undemtood and believed
tla,l, in anticipation of Ihe pge of Ihe bill, the I're
wdent hd prepre.1 objecliiHi to it, wh eh Im had in
temted t" return with In negative; but he did not. II
the bill had been returned, there m no ren to believe
that it would not hive pwd. notwithstanding tlioneobjec
flon. In the ffouse, it bad been carried hy nirrt
.if more than two-thini. And, in the Senate, although
there was not that majority oa it pannage, it wa up
pofd that in coiieiietice of the pnge i the coin
promiM! IlillMiie of the S.-nator who had voted again.!
the I .and Bill had changed thoir views, and would
have voted fur it upon iu return, and oilier had left
tho Henale.
There are tlxiso who believe that the bill was uncon
stitutmnallv retained by the I'resdent, and is now the
hw irfthe laml. Hut whether n be ao or not the tie
neral (jovi-rnuieut holds the public domain in triwt for
the common benefit id- all the State ; and it ia, there
fore, competent to provide by law that the trustee shall
make distribution of the proceeds of the three past
yearn, as well as future "". among those entitled to
the beneficial interest The bill make such a provi
sion. And it is very remarkable, that the sum which
it propose to diHtribillrf is about tl gmee surplus, or
Uilanre, titiiniaUnl in the Treasury on the 1st of Janu
ary, It'M. When the returns of the last quarter of the
year come in, it will probably he found that the surplus
is larger tfian tba nin which the bill distribute, lint
if it aiioulduot be, there will remain tho aev'en millions
held in the Bink of the United States, applicable, a
far a it may bo received, to the service of the ensuing
year.
U w viU be pmnaMae now to enter into a considera
tion of the probable rcf cnueof future year; but, at the
proper titrrerlshink it w ill not be Jillicult to show that
exclusive ol what may be received from tho public
lands, it will be abundantly sufficient for all tho econo
mical purpose of tinvernment in a lime ol peace. And
the bill, a I have already staled, provide for seasons of
war. I wish to guard against all misconception by re
peating what I have heretofore aeveral time anid, that
tin bill i not founded upon any notion of a power in
Congress to lay and collect taxea and distribute the
amount among the aeveral Slate. I think Congress
possesses no such power, and has no right to exer
cise it until some such amendment a that proposed
by the Senator from South Carolina (Mr. Calhoun)
shall be adopted. Qui the bill mat on tho hisi of a
clear and comprehensive grant of power to Congress
over the TerriUirie and property of the United State
deeds ot cession
Air. I'remdcnt 1 have ever regarded, with feeling of
Ihe profmmdest regret, the decision which the presi
dent of the United Stlea felt himself induced to make
un the lull of li33. If it had been hi pleasure to ap
prove it the llea.ls of Departments would not now be
taxing their ingenuity to find out uselesa objects of ex
penditure, or object which may bo well postponed to a
more distant oay. If the bill had pnase.1, about twenty

-GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY."
Seldom have we hud, in our capacity as public
journalists, a more grntilying duty to perform than
that of announcing the result of the meeting, held
in thi City on Niturduy last, fur the purpoee of
adopting measures to ensure, a Kail-Kond communi
cation with the Koanoko Kiver. We have been
fiimilinf with piiblic nieetings in Unlelgh for a gmat
muny year, but wc can sulely soy, wo have never
wiinesjcd on any former occasion so imposing a
turn out.
Tno Intendunt of the City having been called to
the Chmr, und Churlea Munly, Esiq., requested to
uct a Secretary, Judge Cuinerou addressed the
meeting at considerublo length, and in a most im-
pressive aud xaiuauV .OJWUiwr, showing the advan-1
and united action, and the evil which must as cer-
tninl)"occruo from aupinenr aud delay. IJa also
examined and contracted the two route of commu
nication with the Roanoke, spoknn of, viz: to (tag
ton or Wilkina' Ferry, and to Weldon, and argued
in favor of tho former, on the ground that it must
necessarily commnnd the transportation of the Mail
and Passenger of the Union, and but little, if onv
doubt existed of its being carried into successful
operation j while there was great uncertainty with
regard to the completion of the other.
The meeting was also addressed, on tho same
side, with much effect, by Thomas P. Devereux
and George E. Cadger, Esqrs. Mr. Richard Smith
spike in fiivor of Ihe Weldon route, and offered a
resolution, which wus rejected, proponing to opon a
Subscription for the Stock of each road. On mo-

The election of Governor is an important one,
It is in some degree to be a teat question. T

Let the people then be up. and doing., Let w
in our primary meeting designate the individual

set up by the corrupt pensionaries of the national
treasury, and the hungry expectants aftcihtho

lion promises as the rewards of treachery to to
best interest of our State and cnuntrv.
On this subiect and on every other connected
with the good of. the State, we have no local pr'
