Without knowing any thing about the biil, or the reasons of the veto, the old canuon was brought out, and made to spit wads and rocks worse than Capt. V. spits his tobacco. We have no objection to the glorification over the veto, norany objection to this particular exercise of it, but we object to the one man power over the people or their representatives. In this case, we believe it best that theStat-'s interest in the canal shonhl not be sold :.i this time. At auction, it would sell for nothing. By waiting ten years, ,1 C!ln J,e no worse an"(I u iscostiPg ns nothing, and there is a possibility, in the revolution often years, to make it valuable. So we are for holding on.

She will say, without ceremony, to a friend of the young man, "Tell that eeittl-- ! man I likehini."

A message from the President was announced, signing the bill granting the franking privilege to Mrs. Polk. Washington, Jan. 11. In the Senate yesterday, (the slavery resolutions of the Vermont Legislature being under consideration,) Mr. Ila'.e, iu reply to Mr. Clemens remarked that the Senator from Alabama had conviuced hsu of one thing, but had failed to convince him of anything else; that concession, to fanatics never satisfies fanaticism. He con:inued to speak at some length in defence of the resolutions. Mr. Butler, following, said Mr. Seward and others had avowed doctrines on the floor or the Senate that must necessarily lead to the dismemberment of the confederacy. The South had never, in any respect, or for any purpose, decided upon a dissolution of the Union. For one, he could not set aud hear sentiments expressed calculated to degrade the South, and not, on behalf of himself and constituents, express their reprobatiou. He asked, where the slaves, when forced from the South, found hospitality among the free Slate, equal to that enjoyed at home, and referred to the case of John Randolph's emancipated slaves, who, he said, were driven out of the State of Ohio at the point of the bayonet. iMr. Chase replied that Randolph', slaves are now living at peace within the State of Ohio, and that no sufferers are driven from her border at the point of the bayonet. Mr. Hunter said they were driven off by a company armed with offensive weapons, and if permitied to return he was not aware of it. Mr. Butler resumed. The gentlemrn had denied that societies existed whose object was to circulate incendiary publications among the blacks. He referred also to incendiary publication, found in Southern post office.. Mr. Hale. Will the Senator say whether those documents were directed to blacks. Mr. Butler. They were directed to just such white men as vou flauirhteM narn i - I-""" " ..u ming from free State, are traitor, to the institutions under which they have selected to live. Mr. Jefferson Davis also spoke ia reply to Mr Hale. He proceeded to depict the aggression of the South. He said they know their rights' feel their wrongs, aud will maintain those right, at every hazard.
