Great excitement prevails among the friends of | he River and Harbor bill to-day, in consequence of the President’s veto of the 1 sure Itis not generally known that this is the fuct, but the veto | is written, although it will not be sent in until | Tuesday, Lust night and this morning several j Western members of both Houses called on the | President, to enquire as tothe fate of the bill— | His answer was that he had not examined it. At | this time the veto was written. You may recollect that a few days before the passage of the Tariff | bill, an art ‘ppeared io the administration or- gan, commending and approving the Harbor and River bill. This was designed to catch the West- ern members, and it suceceded, they thinking the article was written in good fiuh, aud tha’ the bill would receive the Executive suuction. The Ta- riff Will was passed—the object was attained — a day or two » the sane “organ contained an | article coudemuatory of the River and Harbor bill. As [ stated betore, the veto is already write | ten, It will not be sent in, however, until Tues- day next. The reason for this is obvious. The | bill passed the Senate by atwo-third vote and two over—34 to 16—and there isa p ssibility of its be- coming # law, by a two-third vote of both houses in the teeth of the veto, A great many Western members are leaving for home, aud consequently the probability of the passage of the bill on joint ballot will be daily diminished. I of course, make no comment. Tiere is a firm determination on the part of the friends of the measure, to poll every available vote in order to upset the veto.— There is a probability that they will succeed The Senaterhas just (3 o'clock) passed the Con- stitational Treasury bil by a strict party vote of 2B to The bill as it passed the House has been subjected to some amendments. The Warehouse bill has passed the House to-day without altera- tion or amendment, and awaits but the signatare of the President to become a law. I hope the private calendar will be taken up next week, and some relief given to the many who have been for years clamoring for justice at i the doors of Congress. Mr. Hannegan Stated to- day in his place in the Senate, that there were | numbers who, to hisown knowledge, had been in this city for the last eight months, under great expense, and whose cases had not been as yet reached.” This is really a hardship. There is time enough in any long session to reach all the | rivate bills, provided the time be e rized.— | or long years some of those applicants have been in re expectation concerning their claims, and session atter session pases by and still they are | without a remedy for their grievances, | The friends of the new Tarif bill are in the | best possible humor with themselves and all the | world. They predict the most glorious results to the prosperity of the country, from the operation | ot that measure. They expect these results to make themselves apparent before the expiration of twelve months. I trust it may be so. How- ever that may be, as the bill has now passed into a law, let us give ita good trial. There is no use in clamoring about it now. Ga.viensis. Wasuineton, August 1, 1846. The Sub- Treasury— The River and Harbor Bill, Sc. We have got another of them through. Another of the Baltimore resolutions is fulfilled. The sub- treasury begins its work from the first day of Ja- nuary next, and shortly thereafter we may look out for a rush upon the banks. They had better, therefore, begin to curtail for the crisis. The bill passed through without any struggle, | except that between Messrs. Lewis and Calhoun on the one hand, and Messrs. Benton and Allen in the negative, upon the use of drafts in lieu of gold and silver, wien they can be disbursed at par. Upon this proposition, the hard money men, in conjwnction with the whigs, gained the day; and the Secretary of the his Jast “creep out hole” embargoed e@ expect the river id warbor bill will be keted. That was just the plan of John Ty- jer on the same measure. He putit in bis Poenet and walked off with it.
