Editors Constitution: If the archives in the Secretary of State’s office be ex amined, I think it will be found that Mr. Ben.

I will not go further back than to eay, that the Constitution of February, 1861, contains precisely the same provisions as the present one in relation to Adjourn ment and the Veto power, and Prolonga tion beyond the forty days.
