his office* Next? week wo almlt give the
titles ami substance of the bills passed by
both bouses, but which were rejected by
the Governor, accompanied with a few re-
marks,
It is out* impression that the exercise of
the constitutional power by the Executive,
in giving his dissent to the bills in ques
tion, will have a very salutary effect. It
will make the members of the legislature
moro cautious in the drafting of bills, and
more attentive to their public duties. The
manner tlmt both houses transact business
is indeed a crying evil*; and considering
the loose manner of legislative proceed
ings, we are astonished that the Governor
had not fo affix his veto on more bills. It
is impossible the public business can be
properly managed when there is not more
order and attention paid to any subjects
presented before the legislature, for inves
tigation and decision. The constitution
requires that bilb shall be read three tunes
and on three separate days. The legisla
ture pursue that rule; but bow arc the
bills read? The legislature wait till the
session i.s far advanced to read hills the
second and third time, and to have after
noon and evening sessions. At those af
ternoon and evening sittings hills ore read
the second and third time by the dozen,
with the greatest haste by the clerks, to
comply with the tacit desires of the mem
bers, and heard with marked inattention
by the members; and whenever twenty or
thirty bills have been read, either a second
or third time, the members believe that
they have done a good day’s work. The
fact is the reading of bills a second and
third t-nib has become of late a mere
forint the constitution did not so intend it.
Moreover a good many bills of a local na
ture arc introduced, drafted by the reprr
wr.tuticcs of the counties interested in
their passage. Such bills are seldom ex
amined, and if* nothing in them isparticu-
1 u lv objectionable, they are hastily push
ed through the usual forms without the
/nembors, not interested, knowing any
thing about them, or even desiring to be
fiadv acquainted with their purport. To
•uhow' how negligent the members are, we
relate ati oecuremcc of the last session.
Both'bonnes passed a resolution for the
clectuiki of a Major General of the 9th
Division, And two Brigadier* for the Bri
ades of that Division. The Governor re
turned the resolution with his dissent, be
cause the legislature had passed a resolu
tion to elect officers for offices which did
not exist by law ; a hill however, was
pending, for ttae creation of those offices.
If the Governor had been as negligent a*
the legislature, in what a ridiculous situa
tion the members of the legislature and,
even,-the Governor himself for sanction
ing the resolution, would have been pla
ced l .The rejection of the bills by the Go-
vevnov will have another good effect. It
will induce the mouthers of the legislature
to read and study with care and profit to
themselves the constitution of the State
and the laws emanating from it; they
will then know their duties as legislators,
‘ m and how to discharge faithfully the trust
/•onlided to them by the people.
The holders oPbills drawn in this Flute, and re
turned protested, arc to recover tue amount ol
such hills with postugos, protest, interest, anil other
expenses, at the rate established ut the place at
which the bill was payable, and also such pre
mium, &c. as bills of exchange drown on the place
they are made pay hie arc worth; and in case they
are at a discount, the discount to be deducted.—
On such bills, returned protested, the holders are
entitled to claim 10 per cent, lor damages and
to receive the legal interest established in this
state, from the time of tlie presentment of such
protested bills.
For the. relief of the several counties in this

To provide, a more easy and convenient

the falls annually.—The num
ber of the former was estimated in 1825 at
4,000; and it is supposed that their in
crease has been proportioned to that of the
steamboats.
The importance of the Canal at the
Tails of Ohio is thus increasing; in propor
tion to the extension of the trade. When
completed, the steamboats now coming to
Shippmtrport, will reach Cincinnati. Wo
learn from the same source, that there is
even* probability of its completion during
the next season; and that its dimensions
are spell, that it is not likely ever to need
enlargement. It is justly remarked^ the
enterprt/.e ofthe West is well displayed in
this scheme, and in the Ohio Canals; but
it is not more, we may add, than is requir
ed by the increasing requisitions of a raj>-
idly rising empire. The increase ofthe
| number of free white males iu Ohio, in 4
[years is21,110. They amounted iu 1828,
to 124,035; in 1827, to 143,745. Tiny
increased in the same time, in one county,
(Hamilton) from 0,595, to 7,970.
