On examination. we are unable in any way to excuse the exercise of the veto power, in either of tho two last instances in which it hat been indulgod.

seems lo,be intimated, in strong terms, that indirect and underhanded means have been made use of, and are being used, taeffect and injure the Whig party, by first aiming au insidious blow sit tho Cabinet, or, separately, «t each individual comjKjsing the President's council. These attempts require the vigilant eye of every true Whig of the community, in order that they may be destroyed in the very bud.

I*ANI) BILL*

In Our columns of this week, will be found the act to appropriate the proceeds of the sates of the Public J^aotis and to grant preemption rights*

This bill provides,, in the first place, that the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Alabama, Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arknpsas, and Michigan, shall he entitled to ten proceeds of the sales

1 1 I E ding to their respective federal representative population, as ascertained by the last censu&. The amount to be paid half yearly, and to be applied as the Legislature of each State may direct.

This act to be in force until otherwise provided by law, unless the dlbntry shall be involvid in war—-in which taSe the law to be suspended during the continuance of tlie war,&c.

Meads of families, wi Jows, or single man over the age of twenty-one,and being a citizen of the United States, or having filed his declaration to become a citizen, will be entitled to pre-emption rights. The rights limited to suchras hnve made settlements in person, on Public Lands since the first day of June, 1840, or wllb may hereafter settle upon and improve the same by erecting a dwelling, &c.

And, also, that pl-ior to any entry being made, by virtue of this act, proof of the settlement and improvement thereby required, shall be made to the satisfaction of the Register and Receiver of the land district in which such land may lie.

AS tli.IT

Persons wishing to avail themselves of tfie provisions of this pre-emption law, will find it to their advantage to examine critically, several of the sections relating to that subject.

From the Indianapolis Jounal of Sept. 18th,1841.'^ To-day the special election to fill the vacancy iu the Indiana Senate, occassioned by the resignation of Gen. Hann 1 took place, and resulted in the choice of N. West, the candidate of tho Loco Focos. This announcement will be received with feelings of disappointment and deep regret by our friends throughout tho State, we doubt not. It is a matter, we will not deny, of mortification and chagriu ioJhe Whigs of Marion county.

You specially reqii'Mted Mr. WEBSTER- and myself to communicate with Messrs.

You DESIRED us, also, in communicating with those gentlemen. not to commit you personally, lest, this being recognised aa your measure, it might be made a subject of comparison to vour prejudice in lite course of discussion. You and Mr. WEBSTER then converted about the particular wording of the ]6ih fundamental article, containing the erant of power to deal in exchanges, and of the connexion in which that grant should be introduced you also spoke of the name of the institution, desiring that thnt should be changed.
