It is a pleasant reflection that, though the af-
fairs’ of men are enveloped in gloom, and many
storm, wliichis sweeping over our land, yet the
world of nature is putting forth its beauty, open-
ing iit the freshness of renovated life to gladden
our hearts,-anil turn them from the artificial
streams of pleasure, we have been so laborious-
ly and vainly eiitleavoring to embellish, to the
pure, clear fountain of simplicity and rational
enjoyment for our happiness. Yes, the hopes
of wealth may be disappointed, credit may b(
crushed, the silver and the gold may vanish,
and universal failure in all human expectations
occur-—but one promise is sure--while the
earth continues, summer and winter, seed-time
and harvest, shall not fail !
\Vlio can feel sad in this lovely month T the
“ bright and lovely June”—the time of full
blossomed flowers and gay green trees, while
air and earth are filled with the songs and sounds
of “happy living things"—all rendering their
tribute of joy, like incense to the great anil good
Creator!
“ 'Tis summer—-joyous summer time 1
In noisy towns no more abide;
The earth is full of radiant things,
Uf gleaming lliixvcrs and gleaiiiiug wings,
Beauty audjoy on every side.”

0:'jr"I‘lte‘ following is the message of the
Governor, which was sent to the Senate on the
last day of the session, containing his reasons
for withholding his signature from the Bill re-
pealing the charter of the City Bank at New
Haven. '
Ta Ilze Hon. Swatc-
There has been presented for my approbation
a Bill for “an Act to repeal an Act entitled
“An Act to incorporate the City Bank of New
Haven.” The Bill is herewith returned with
the following as the reasons of my dissent to the
same. There is no provision in the charter of
this Bank making it repealable at the pleasure
ofthe Legislature. This claitse is usually insert-
ed in charters, and its omission in this instance
certainly means something. Had this clause
been inserted, it might have had a material effect
in preventing the subscription to the stock of the
company _frurn being taken up, as the Bonus
which was given as the consideration ofthe char-
ter was very large, amounting to one-fifth part
of the whole capital stock of the company. If
the charter of the company has been violated,
and the violation is such as works a forfeiture,
and the Legislature should be of opinion that the
public interest requires that the penalty should
be inflicted, it is proper that the charter should
he in some way annulled. 1 am of the opinion
that the judicial tribunals of this state are the
proper forums for ascertaining the facts which
work the forfeiture, and for pronouncing the
judgment ofthe law upon those facts. and that so
far as respects this case, (-whatever the fact may
be where the charter contains a clause making
it revocable by the Legislature) the General
Assembly cannot with propriety interfere. lt
would be a blending of judicial and legislative
powers in the same department of the Govern-
ment, which by the Constitution of this State
must be kept distinct. Even should the General
Assembly be considered as havingjurisdiction in
this case,‘ I am ofopiniou that the proceedings
have not been regular, _No specific charges
have been exhibited against the Bank, nor have
they ever been notified to appear and answer.-
The forins oflaw usually regarded in judicial
proceedings. and which are supposed to be of
great value as safeguards of the liberty and pro-
perty ofthe citizens ofthe state, have not been ob-
served. ‘ I am also ofthe opinion that the punish-
ment which will be inflicted in the case does not
partake of the proper ingredient of punislimcnt.

It does not fall on the guilty, but most heavily‘
on the innocent. Hero, however, I find myscll.
somewhat at _a loss, as the offences for which the
punishment is to be inflicted, are no where
specifically stated—but they so far as they can
be conjectured this appears to be their character.
The President of the company is claimed to be
the cliiefolfender; some ofthe Directors, or per-
haps all oftltem, may also be included, but the
stockholders it is not pretended have been guilty
ofany olleiice. Iftlie acts ofthe President and
regular c')urse would have been to have prohibit-
ed them by some public Act, which at the same
time prescribed the puuishmciit. In line, can
Act, but in my mind it is obrioxioiisto strong legal
and Constitutional objections. For these reasons
I do not approve the Bill, and therefore return it
to the Senate, the Housciu which it is tinder-
stood to have originated.
I deem it p.r0.pet‘ that the relation in which I
stand to this Bank should be fully understood.
I own no stock in this Batik in my own right,
nor am I interested in it in any way. excepting
asTrustce. In this capacity there is stock stand-
ing in my name, the property of a witlaw anil

NOTES IN THE 5'1‘.-§.'l‘E HOUSE.
No. V.
The rapidity and workman-like despatch
with which “ the democracy” rattled off busi-
ness during the last three days of the session,
formed 8. beautiful contrast with the slow, lum-
bering, hesitating gait; in which they have hith-
erto proceedcd. From VVednestia.y'to Satur-
day “ go ahead” has been the word, and the
pile of papers, petitions, bills and resolutions
on hand, have been’ disposed of without much
ceremony. .
'1'/iursdizy, Jiinc 8.-—-The Bank Committee
reported to‘ day upon the Stamford’Bank and
N. Haven City Bank. The Committee thought.
that altliough the banks had done very wrong,
it was not expedient to deprive them of their
charters, and recommended that the present di-
rectors of the Stamford Bank, and the Presi-
dent of the City Bank ‘be removed, and forev-
er disqualified from holding those offices. A
strange report, to be sure, but the principal ob-
jection was, it was not radical enough, so'it was
laid on the table, and the bills repealing the
charters taken up, read, and made the order of
the day for to-morrow. I I
F riilizg/.—This morning, the Stam_fortl Bank
came up for its sentence. It seemed to be the
prevailing opinion that the credit of the democ-
racy demanded a sacrifice, and ss they had got:
the monster on the altar, it would not; do to re-
cede. The bill revoking its charter therefore
passed by a inajority of five votes. It; went; to
the Senate, where the vote upon the bill result-
ed in attic. 'I‘hi_s placed the victim at the mer-
cy of Lieutenant Governor Stoddard, who
without hesitation pronounced the saving ‘No l’
in a tone that showed him to be in earnest.-
Thus the executioner-’s_ axe was stayed.
In the afternoon the case of the New Haven
City Bank came up in the House. The report
and resolutions of the committee were first ta.-
ken up, and after considerable discussion ac-
cepted. After the House had thus adopted it
as their opinion, that the charter of the Bank
ought not to be repealed, it was moved that the
charter! Another debate ensued and on tak-
ing the question, the bill was negativcd by it
majority of 12, "
Satzii-clay/.—The bill repealing the charter of
the City Bank, came from the Senate passed!
It: was moved that the House reconsider and
concur. It was now getting late--the House
was impatient, the democracy were homesick,
and all were anxious to be ti-ff-—the yeas and
nays were. taken and the bill passed 9-Ito 90.—-
The loco focos chucl;led.——the deed was done,
they thought, and they had at least accomplish-
ed the death of one monster, at: the end of an
eventful campaign. But alas, the hopes of the
wicked perish, as the sequel proved.
The House dashed on again through their
business, and disposed of.a multitude of minor
matters in rapid succession, and about noon
had every thing squared up, and were ready to
rise. The Chair now left; the-cha,ir, and retired
about 15 minutes, during which time a vote of
thanks was passed, for the dignified and im-
partial manner in which he had discharged the
duties of the chair. When he again returned
the Clerk informed him of the act which had
been perpetrated in his absence. 'I_‘he news
was evidently sudden and unexpected. The
Chair arose,‘ and-r styling himself only “ the
humble individual who 1_i_ow”addresses you,” re-
turned his sincere thanks for this expression of
their regard, said he did not: tl'ii_n_.k it; best: to
make a. very long speech, and ' concluded by
bidding the House as _affectionate a. ftufeivell as
though the small hill lavv, had passed witliput
his favorite amendment, and he had been actu-
ally about to start on his threatened journey to
Canada.
A committee was now appointed to inform
the Governor tliat the House was ready to ad-
journ, aiid to inquire how soon he could attend
and dismiss them. The committee reported
that his Excellency had a communication to
make, and would be ready in a few minutes.
The House. waited, and waited, and the mem-
bers sat; and looked at one another, until at
length it was whispered about that. a VETO
was upon the carpet. We stepped into the
Senate chamber; there was the Clerk stumbling
tzhrough the Governor’s veto message upon the
bill repealing the charter of the New Haven
City Bank ! The message being finished, the
Senate reconsidered its vote upon the bill. N 0-
thing was said, and upon again taking the quies-
tion the bill was negatived, 10 to 9. The bill
having originated in the Senate, this settled the
business.
The Senate then adjourned into the Repre-
sentatives Hall, where the Governor shortly at-
tended, and having read to them ashort; homily,
in which his usual profundity was displayed,
he too, bade them farewell, [and a long fare-
well it will prove.] Thus ended the 46 days
session, [so it was calculated in the debenture
bill,] at an aggregate expense of between thir-
teen and fourteen thousand dollars. Regimes-

Uncle Bcn’s Last.—Qn Saturday last‘. the
Clerk of the House of Representatives read a
unanimous vote of thanks to the Speaker, “for
his dignified and untiring services.” Uncle
