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 state, in which the commissioners of the poor school fund shall have failed to make re turns in conformity to law. -’Phe commissioners are allowed by this net to make returns next year, but the returns must em brace the year preceding. To ex! end the time, for fortunate drawers in the. land lotferics of 1818,1819, and 1821, to take put their grants. Fortunate drawers are allowed till the 25th of December, 1828, to tnke out grants, the fees $8.

John Randolph of lloanokc, to give him the title he delights in, followed Mr. E. in opposition, and never was spea ker more completely master of the eves ami ears of his audience. So far indeed us the power of arresting attention iscvidenceof oratorical excellence, Mr. Randolph has the highest merit, for he both can and does bewitch the spectator.-, when no other man in the nation could retain silently around •him any tiling but the walls.

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.
