Ordered, that the reading of the journal be dispensed with. A message from the governor, by his private secretary, Mr. Charles Doty:

"Mr. Speaker: I am directed by the governor to deliver to the house of representatives a message in writing."

Which the speaker laid before the house, and is as follows: "To the House of Representatives:

The bill entitled 'An act to repeal the several acts appointing a treasurer and auditor, and for other purposes,' I return with the following objections:

It repeals all laws providing for the levying and collecting a territorial revenue; it therefore leaves the public debt without any provision for its payment. This is practical repudiation.

It creates a 'civil office,' and appoints an individual to perform its duties, and receive fees for his services.

This is a violation of the 7th section of the act of congress to establish this territorial government, which confers the power upon the governor and council to appoint all civil officers not provided for in the said act,

Executive Department,
