Veto Message of Governor Wright, of the Bill in relation to the Terre Haate aud Richmond Kail road, Ac. GttUUmtn of the House of Representatives. I herewith return tu you the hill of your House, No. 4, being an act authorizing the Terr Haut.- and Richmond Railroad Company to issue bonds, Su- . with unreasons lor withholding my signature. This hill authorizes txie company to issue bonds, to sell the same within or oat of this State, to bear any rate ol interest por MM anil to sell the same at such rates and tor such prices, as may be agreed upon, and that such sales, though made at a discount, shall be valid, as if sold at par. There is in this company county stock. There is not a Railroad in progress in this Mate, in which there ts not either county or city stock. This vork is an important one, it is a part of one ol the great thoroughfares of the State-, it is managed by the most

II.,. I.. 1 1 - vour reconsideration. Durum the lat session, a short i time alter the commencement of rav duties, the same .mestion wa presented to me. I took occasion then, in a special message to oder some suggestions. Time has only served to convince me of the correctness of the opinions then advanced, and I take this opportunity, in the investigation of this subject, to refer you to a por- - - " i " f - - il".. .-...! M'itli annti t 1. 1 1 f inno 1 an r 1 gUinents as my time will allow me to lay IhjIoic vmi. Irrespective ol the question a to the propriety of coun- j uuu t in' virws i iiitrn wuriru, .-w-as ... - tics and cities in their corporate capacity subscnb ng tu (he stock of such works, it is clear that when such subscriptions arc made, the interest which the counties and cities hold,stioiild le sur round eds by safeguards of the most unquestionable security . From this consideration alone , it is submitted that it would be improper to invest the directory of any company with unlimited power to sell bonds at änv rate of discount they mar please to make, and to cause them to bear any rate of interest however ex-, orbltant. Is ll not tne uuiy oi me law lutiami; power to protect ihe tax-payers of the subscribing counties . from encroachment, especially when the irrevocable j character of sueh londs is considered? But this objection to the unlimited rate of interest and ; discount, is greatly strengthened by a consideration ol j the vast number of enterprise of this character in this and the adjoining States, and the probable effect of their ! prosecution upon our financial condition. Facts of re-1 cent occurrence are bill of instruction on this subject The lesson that a similar state of things taught the people of the old world, I trust are not forgotten. There these enterprises have already received a severe check, and it would seem that the spirit of speculation ha been transferred from that field of operation, in a great measure to this country. Here, similar scenes are now being enacted, not to the same extent, it may be, but unless a prudent foresight interpose its salutary check, there is ground for the apprehension that results equally disastrous will here ensue. We are advised that one of the first moneyed houses oi the old world has lately established a bransh in our great commercial metropolis. thus preparing for aetion, regarding this as the peculiar field for such operation ; ami from the very tact that it fecoms necessary now , in view ol the interest of ccr- j tain companies in the prosecution of these works, to ask , leae to pay a higher täte of interest than usual, and to sell their bonds at whatever amount they may agree to 1 receive is evidence of a strong pressure, or otherwise an ( over action in this branch of enterprise. Indiana has had such a lesson on the subject of the prosecution of works ' f a similar character, that we shall tie justly chargeable with a want of prudence, if we fall again into a like ditlieultv. without bavin-: made some exertions to avoid the disaster. If the moneyed operations of these companies are onrined to the ordinary and safe methods of con- j ducting business ; if large debts are not contracted, at j heavy rates of interest, or at a ruinous discount . then in j case of a general pressure, tho worst thai could happen would lie a suspension of the work. But consider what would be the effect, if by a general monetär v revulsion, such a work should be arrested. , while in the midst of its active operations, if burtheued j with the obligation to pay heavy rates of interest, and at the same time, with no part of the work so far finish- J td, as to be susceptible of producing revenue. Extend j this example over the whole State,, and what would wc see, but the mateuals of these works brought under the hammer, the houds pledged to them disposed of at forced sales, to the consternation of the too coufiding occupants, and the tax-payers of a subscribing county , groaning under a burdensome imposition for the purpose of faying the interest on a stock which pays no dividends t is suid, if a limit is prescrilied as to the sale of these bonds, or the interest that they shall bear, that no sale can ie made at any better rates or limits. This is not true. It was not so in the sale of the State bonds, during the progress of our system of internal improvements. There was invariably a limit prescrilied, as to the interest the bonds should bear, and according to the reports of the Fund Commissioners, sales were made for lers than the rates prescribed, and in many instances, a premium. Bat with all the restrictions that coald be thrown around the sale of our bonds, the State suffered greatly, and she will not soon again lend her credit, or become interested in any works of internal improvement. We arc now in the midst of the second history of internal improvements in Indiana, in which arc involved a large amount of Corporation stock of Counties and Cities. It is a matter of but little difference, whether the State, Cointies. or individuals, are earring on an enterprise, if the seme fails or turns out badly, it will equally effect the whole community. All are alike interested in the welfare and prosperity of the State ; the adoption of a principle that is liable to be abused, and will work to the injury of the one, will inevitably affect the other. We have more than a million of Count v and City stock. m the various Railroads if the State, and the prospect ! is. that the amouut will be largely increased the coming season. Whenever it shall become necessary, to carry on these vorks, that you have to place tl'e credit of the companies in the hands ef the money lenders, and the individual entrusted with the work, without limit or restriction, that moment you will prostrate the credit of ;he country. What will be the character of our State abroad when Counties and Cities shall be driven in effect, to repudiate their obligations and contracts? When this takes place, you will find the dues of the State placed in the same situation. When a rate of interest is established by law. and when as with n. the rate is high compared with commrcial rates it is policy not to permit exceptions to the i : f Tj .i .L.JL- .L.ij Lrule except in extreme cases, and then there should be a limit. In the case under consideration, it seems to me. that public policy points plainly to the enforcement of the rule within a given limit. It might be safe, and even desirable, to permit the sale of bonds, at somewhat less than the par of State Bonds, of the same rate of interest, but the experience of the State admonishes us that the discretion in such cases should have its limits defined. It is a remarkable fact, that in every instance that has come under my observation, where the power is sought to be given to the directors of companies to borrow money , or make sales of Bonds, without limit or rcatictioo, that in the first instance, acts of Incorporation have been passed by the Legislature, in which no such power is given,, and that Counties in good faith have taken stock j a said companies; that subsequently amendments have been made from time to time, until now this unlimited power is asked. It is suggested with preat deference, whether the adding of this power, would nut be a violation of the faith upon which the people of the several counties, in their corporate name, have heretofore taken stock in the various companies of the State. It ia said that the bill referred to does no authorize the selling of the bonds of the counties, or the hvpothecaung of them at any rate of interest, that may ne agreed upon. While this is, perhaps true, it is difficult for me to perceive tlie difference between giving the power expressly, in relation to the bonds of 'Counties, or making the Waf unlimited power, applicable alone to the stock of ine onipanv. or bonds or the Counties; or making the same unlimited power, applicable alone to the stock of the company , or the borrowing of money. If you atTect the stos k by exorbitant interest, or sell tne bonds of the company at a ruinous sacrifice, it must affect the County stock, as weil as that of the citizen All are connected together for the welfare of the work, and the adoption of a principle that ia calculated to injure the will injure the others. J he objection to this want ol mliit.intherateofiB ana in tne sale M stocas. is, mar. it gives a power wnioii is HMUir IU ex mm "e- , nnu mr mtuiTC iu im, iuiiiuio conseqences . Ami i cannot nu tntnK mat tne Legislature in conferring such a power, have failed to consider with the reqnisite Maturity, all the abases to which it is liable. We know not who are to hold the places of Directors of these corporations, with the right thus to offer in market the stock of the companies, and to borrow money. Prudence reqnires that we should guard against every possible state of things that may arise. The internal improvement system was undertaken, with the too confident expectation that the works to be constructed, when finished, would be productive and yield ample revenue to pay the interest on the debt incurred in tbeir construction. That it would impose no harden of taxation ; on the contrary the system would confer greet benefits upon the State end relieve the people fron the prendre of existing hardens. With inch expectations the obligations of the State were issued aad scattered broad cast in the market. Our experience of the disastrous consequences, is too recent and costly to be forrotten. After the suspension of onr public works in 1840, and when the delusion had beeu dispelled bv the unmistakeable fact, that there was no way to re. He the ertdit and vindicate tne leiui oi me aiaie,

than by a resort to taxation. It was then that the mode ui which the obligations of the State had been sold was scrutinized, and there was no sentiment more common than this, that wc should not pay anything on our bonds, for which we had not received the money ; and that wc should only pay on the bonds sold, the amount of which had been received. The transition from this sentiment is rapid, to the following language in the bill before

us, "all sales at a discount, the same shall remain as in every respect, as if sold at par valid and binding value It is proper, it teems to me, that wc bring the question to this test, and to assume that the people of the counties may be called upon to provide for the payment of both principal and interest o their bonds! bv taxation. From the excitement on the subject of Railroads, and j the unlimited power that is uow sought, by the compa- j nies of the State, it would appear that private credit is j almost exhausted ; and it is now asked to exhaust pub- j lie credit as far as possible, by offering in our public aud deliberate acts of legislation,' to nay anv rate of inter est however large, and to sell in market our credit, for anv nric to raise money . W'li hatever difference of opinion may exist as to limit- ! ing the rate of discount on bonds, sold in the market, it seems to me, that there should be but one sentiment, in regard to the limitation of the rate of interest. Is it not possible that . in the over anxiety to secure the ! means for the construction of a favorite work, the directors or agent, might be induced to agree to such a rate of i lit nr T ne not onlv to be suicnlal to the work itseirbut ny ,iie I destruction of public credit m jt, ruinsl to involve all others It is confidently believed, that no such policy has lieen projected or fostered in any State in the Union. Ami I trust Indiana will not be the first to set the example. In addition to the above considerations. I cannot but regard the passage of a bill involving such important principles, on the same day of its introduction, by repeated suspensions of the rules, and without reference to a committee as an instance of hasty legislation, which aiono would justifv executive interference JOSEPH A WRIGHT. January 8th, 1851. An Abstract of the remark of Mr. Hanna of Clay, on the pasture of the bill (the veto of the Governor notwithstanding) to amend the charter of the Terre Haute and Richmond Railroad Company. Delivered in Senate January 8, 1851. Mr. PaEsiDEMT: When the arm af the Executive is interposed to prevent the passage of a law, the legislative department should proceed with due deliberation uon the second investigation of the subject. It is also true, that when a bill has lcen returned with the objections of the Executive, that the reasons must lie very cogent whieh will justify the passage of the law over" such veto. Believing, as I do. that such reasons now exi-t in the eise. I will proceed to give them in as brief a manner as a) sible ; 1st. The road is much of it partly constructed, and me company snoum be compelled to .-case operations, at this tune, no pronts would accrue, and the whole exjienditurc would be a total loss to the stockholders. St The authority to sell bonds to capitalists, in the first place, was better than to transfer them into the hands of iron masters, and they, by a second and often a compulsory sale, hueed them into the market at any price . 3d. If we admit the argument of His Excellency to be true, it ouly amounts to this, at last: that the company may conduct its affairs in so reckless and careless a manner that it w ill fail , and, as a consequence, involve the stockholders. .s to the first of tiie above propositions, it is we I known that a very large amount of the work Itctwcen Terre Haute and Greencastle is already constructed ; and the object now to be accomplished, is to take mi.Ii steps as will enable the company to obtain the iron necessary to lay down the rails. If this cannot be done, all the work already accomplished al! the nioiiev already expended. will remain totally and absolutely a mmm to the stockholders. Why so? Because the wmk done is in thp way of grubbing, grading, bridging, Sic ; but not a single mile is finished to be yielding a revenue. If a man buys a farm at one thousand dollars, and pays five hundred down, would it be good policy, and an act of prudence for him, as an economical man, to shave his paper ten percent., and thereby enable himself to pay for it, or would it be the better c nirso to fold his arms! surrender his farm, and lese the amount paid? ll the tuun is ccrtain to yield a good per cent, upon the amount expended, a riiiancier would say, at once, borrow the rive hundred dollars. I have heard uo man raise doubts as to the ultimate profitableness of this line. As to the second proposition, it is a well ascertained fact that if a company goes into the money market with its bonds for sale, they will not bring their face, previous to the time whn such company commences dividing profits. So if the agent of such company should attempt to purchase iron for the use of the road . with the bonds oi such company, he will be compelled to either sell said bonds at a discount, or to pay more than the cash market value for the iron. Which is the better course to pursue? I say it is better to sell the bonds for cash, even at a discount, and let the agent take the money in his hand, and make a choice of markets in buying iron, than to he forced to purchase of those only who may choose to take bonds. Again, by selling nut a small portion of bonds at a time, you accomplish two objects to the advantage of the road: first, the market does not become over-stocked, or -glutted,'' with bonds; and secondly, every mile of the road that is finished will increase the profits of the company, and consequently the value of its bonds. So that when you go into the market a second time, you obtain a much netter price for your bonds. And again, it appears to me to lie much the wiser course to retain the bonds in tho hands of the company itself, in all cases, except where they are sold t- capitalists who will hold on to them lor the profits arising from them not throw them into market, and perhaps deeply injure the credit of the company thereby. It is almost certain that a sale to an iron monger, in the first place, would have to be made at a greater rate of discount than if made to a capitalist or broker, for the reason that the Brst pure base would lie made by the merchant or manufacturer, with the expectation and intention of again selling to such broker or capitalist. Of course, such first purchase would be made at such a great rate of discount as would enable him to make the second sale without loss. It would often happen, also, that if merchants or manufacturers were to purchase the bonds, they would not be able, although inclined so to oo, to noid on to tnera ; as their business would com pel them to make transfers even at a sacrifice. Thev ? "u,u " 'et at a ume wuicu luikMU not be nronitiou, sold at a very ureal discount, am ruin the i i i : . l . . . ii i . . credit of the compa riy. We will now look to the third proposition. As I understand the whole substance and drift of the arguments of His Excellency, they all tend to establish the propo sition mat tue company will so manage its affairs as to break down. The company ask the passage of this bill. If injury results from the same, the stockholders will le the losers those who are now asking its ssage. I cannot suppose thut men well versed in financial affairs, as the directors of this company are, would come before us, and deliberately ask for -he passage ol a law that would produce their own ruin. But admit, for the sake of argument, that these men are oversighted that the Governor is correct in his suppositious in relation to the effect of this act; and that even the worst consequences which he prophesies will ensue. What then? The present company might fail and lie forced to sell and transfer the road atid all the corporate pruferty to a second and more wealthy company, which would sustain and complete the road. In the intermediate time, all the money which the company may obtain will be expended in our midst, or for iron that will be laid down upon the road, which becomes a permanent improvement among us enhancing the value of our lands and increasing the prosperity ot our citizens giving us a great thoroughfare to a market, for all the surplus products of the rich and productive oouutry through which it runs. The blow, if it como us predicted, will tall, then, upon the stockholders of the company, and not upon the community at large. It ia true, that where counties or cities have taken stock the burden will fall upon the whole people of such county or city. I shall not atop to defend the acts of municipal corporations, in taking stock iu raiuoads, for I always entertained and expressed the opinion that the policy was ill-advised of forcing a minority t bear their portion of taxation for such purpose, because the majority willed it. But this argument, and I confess it was a serious one with me, loses II its force il the suggestion of His Excellency is liHscd lliwm tu.- true ibwtrioo of t Ii lau- What it ill having taken stock in roads. when th. charters did not give the di irectori the uowers now asked lor, that it follows that the grantmg the powers now asked for, and the exercise of those powers by the agents or directors of the companies, will release all right of action which suoh companies may possess against the cities and counties for stock subscribed. W itncot admitting or denying the legal doctrine here advanced. I will only say, that if it is true, then, the strongest objection which I ever entertained to the passage of this law, is at once removed. That objection was, that in the event of failure, injury would result to the whole people of a county, where such county had become a stockholder. But if this doctrine is true, and the burden becomes too onerous, they will release themselves. . & SBU . . ST At tins it a question of policy only , affecting no constitutional right, the representatives of the people certainly know the will of their immediate constituents as wolf as he who administers the executive functions of the State Government , but at the tame time I cheerfully accord to His Exeelleucy the utmost purity of motive and correctness of intention in what he hat done in the , premises. Would it be good policy to fix ascertain rate below which the bonds shall not be told? I think if such rate were fixed, the effect of it would be to compel the hold-

ers of the bonds to sell at the rate fixed, and that they could not sell above sach rate; for the law setting the amount would be a public act, and therefore open to the inspection of the buyer of lionds. as well as the seller. If an amount is fixed below which the company would have no power to sell, it appear to me to be tantamount to making a declaration, by the proper authorities of the State, that we think the bonds of said company are wot th just so much and no more. Ought we to thus cripple the company ami circumsci ile its action?
