SerAnd—The veto power. The power given by the constitution to the Executive to interpose his veto, Is a high toriservative power; but In my opinion should never be exercised except In cases of clear violation of the constitution, or manifest haste and want of consid eration by Congress. Indeed, I have thought that,. for soapy years past, the known opinions and wishes of the Eiecutire been exercised undue and injurious Influ ence upon the lepslative department of the , Govern ment; and for dais cause.' have 'thought our system was In danger of undergoing a mat change' from Its true theory. The pentane! opinions of the Individual who may happen to occupy the Executive chair, ought not to control the action of Congress upon quest ion. of domestic policy; nor might his objections to hi inter posed where Questions of constitutional power have been settled by the various departments of Government and acquiesced In by the peoplo.

DMIEMVI I J OF OUR VOLUNTEERS 3 GRAND G.fIL.R DAY. HONOR TO THE BRAVE Yesterday (Friday) was a glorious day for the people of this County! Agreeably to arrange meats previously made, it had beau appointed fur the reception of the corps of Volunteers (rein this place, under the columned of Captain Nagle, ou their return from Mexico.- This Company reached Philadelphia on Tues day morning last, together with aeVeral others of the First -Pennsylvania Regiment, and in cense (pence of sumo delay in receivingtheir discharge, they did not reach this place as soon as was an ticipated. - Information, however, was received here on Thursday evening, that they would pos itively sot out from Philadelphia on Friday, and the fact was accordingly pdblished to the people of the surrounding neighborhood, who, it was known, desired to riarticipute on the joyous oc- CM= The weather, early on Friday morning, was extremely cloudy, and fears were very general that:it would turn out unfavorabie. - • At Ff.:o'clock the weather was still suspicious. Sot the ice-cream mon, and the men with or anges and lemonade; took " up their respective positions," and 'Coolly arranged their stands. At 9 o'clock, people had no hesitation in taking O "horn" in anticipation of good weather. In fact, the clouds began to retreat. Carriages be. to come in—Flags were flying, and here we may observe that • 'cords" have been in ide mand=at a rough estimate, we should judge that at least five miles of the article`wore brought into ass. Flue times for rope-makers. 10 o'cliack—Skies bright! "The cry is still they come !" Soldiers are dressed up in fine style, and are seen here and there among the crowds.. All the streets; especially the great thoroughfare, Centre Street, are thronged with people. The fronts of the hotels and many pri vate dwellings, are full of ladies. 11 o'clock—The Sun has taken tils liberty.to make a nhobserwatiOn.". lie begins to took (lowa, and kimi'ci smile. The boys are busy at the cake stands—bands of music marching. up and dawn street—Marshalls riding about briskTY7- eornethiitg coming. 12 o'clock—All at mice Mount Carbon seems surpiiziu7,ly attractive. Every one is bound for Mount Carbon.' The tide of emigration is swell ,lng Ei,gb—tbousands aro for Mount Carbotn. l 2 o'clock—The Mount Carbon Hotel is "sur rounded." From the lower balcony, a large can vass was suspended across the street, richly fring ed with evergreens, and bearing in bold letters, Welcome home. The pillars of the balconies were decorated with wreaths, flowers, and flags —and upon each onewe . ..l inscribed in bold let ters the name of some !cattle in Mexico. The ecene presented was magnificent, and of course no one bat a stupid fellow would suppose that any others than the ladies-of the house, and those of Mount Carbon, could devise schemes so grand and execute them so tastefully! Every avenue of this spl ended Hotel was filled. The Ladies occupied principally the spacious bal conies, and thengb. the 'other decorations were complete. still thie feature was irresistible. A handsome• Wreath was also suspended from the house of Mr. Kleinert, to the opposite side of the street, and there were several other decora tions, of "individual enterprize," which we are reluctantly compelled to forego ;—the all-absorb ing themes now being cheese, wine, and crack' en, and "are they coming?" 1 o'clock—Ab! The locomotive ,whistles! They oemer-they come! No—z'ounds! iS is only the little Witch ! Another pansel 4 heard—soldiers advancing and forming into [ Kai. tines. Five missies plat one.—Locomotive 'whistles, and here they are! An awful silence. 'Ye.,, —the ears hare arrived—no mistake. All eyes turned' to the depot Au immense'cruwd of pee- pie throng the Railroad and the street, and pres: ently the•" Spartan band" was seen, with their muskets aloft, slowly isstring from the cars and making for the road. "There's Wyelcoop."— "Where?" "Do'ye see him?" "That's that's him!" "Boom!", roared the cannon, and tbeire • body began to get "excited." Messuothomas, Dickson and Hairy moved fortbeinteresting trict, and having got into the open space guarded by the military, they were " vamoozed" out, and became, Rasta vokns, outsiders. The hilts were literally covered over with people.. The "old red. sandstone never before sustained such a weight of flesh and blood—such anxious, excited people. • every thing being arranged, the return• hag volunteers proceeded towards the Mount Carbon Houao. enthusiastically and wildly clieced by .the multitude nt every step.-- They were sur• :waded by the military, on the right, and civic bodies °Li the left—and,:arrived - ill front of. the hotel, they halted. Then went up cheerA. Oh, well say nothing about them'.. - "There never vans such cheers before. • • =We may observe, by the way, that Captain Nagle and Lieut. Kacrcher are splendid officers. They are both as modest and unassuming, as they, are truly brave; 'and is these particulars they emulate old Rough and Ready. Hereupon, Robert M. Palmer, Esq. appeared, and addressed the war-wont veterans as fellowi: Coaciant. WiIIICOOT—TO he selected on life part of your fellow<itizera of the Military of this county, to bid a welcome to yourself and your brave comrades irtarma, on this, your happy return to your families and home is an honor of which any man might be justly proud. To see the task appears peculiarly honorable and delightfaL If I were personally a stranger to each and all of you. U should still feel that the glory you have acquired In your recent campaign, is the progerty of the whole people of Ponavilletof Pennsylvania, of the tinkin--and that, there fore, 1 simian humble sharer init. But lem not a strap. ger ; on the contrary. imong you are somehf my nearest and dearest frienda—the earliest companiona of my boy hood—the sharers of my confidence in manhood. Nor em I alone in this respect. Here are your fathers, bro. there, wires and sweethearts who, with theseswarming thousands of your warm friends, eagerly wait an oppor. 'tunity to grasp you by the band and bidyou welcome 'borne I It is this fact that adds increased interest to this :joyous occasion, It is these feeling. which„ , mingling with the patriotic emotions of every American breast causes each heart to beat high with emotion, and render. this the most delightful occasion which the people of this re gion have ever celebrated. - . Ube policy of our country is essentially peaceful. ' No immense standing army ex ists to endanger liberty. harass our People and eat out their aubstance ; nor do *e seek war with any Nation ; but when the alternative is presented of war upon the one band or National dishonor upon the other. it is then that in the many thousands of volunteers in defence of the tug and honor of the country, is shown the energy of our people, and their love for a government founded by their own will, and looking solely to the people fur " rt P : rt es . curb an alternative am I have alluded to, that was presented at the breakin g our of the recent war with Mexico. The territory of a sister state invaded. and the blood of our citizens shed upon American soil called ;and for retaliation. Your country called upon her son, to rally in defence of her - honor, and moved by the sincerest and most patriotic impulses. you answered to the call. NVe cannot atree to-regard the question of the justice or injustice of this war. In Its origin and corn. mencement. as 'eager an open one. Justice to yourselves andyour own character requires that the truth of history shall be vindicated, and the necessity arid propriety of the war sustained. It was a righteous and necessary 111 TUE conflict, brought about solely by the' aggrewiona Lf a faithless and perfidious foe. It is now nearly two years since the people of Potts— Ville were congregated upon this spot, to wr itness your departure upon your errand of patriotism Their tears, sighs and lamentations at parting, mingled with the hlrb throbbings of every heart for the sneer's' or your efforts and your return in safety. Every step of your progress was attended by the earnest watching, of our people, and when we learned that at Pittsburg, you, Col. Wynkoop, had been elevated by the free suf frages of your companions, to the command of the first Pen rtsylyanla Regiment, every Pottsville heart thrilled with pride and joy, for we felt assured that the honor of your native state would not suffer at your bands. We understood your character, your daimtless spirit, your truly American heart—and we felt satisfied that the result of your promotion would redound to your own honor and the glory pf the Nation. Nor was our confidence misplaced. We followed: you to Merke— l(' the glorious siege of Vera Cruz, and the reduction of the world renowned castle San Juan de Ulloa—to the stormingof the terrible heights at Cerro Gordo—to La Hoyato fluamantla—we observed you elvated by the confidence ofyour goverment to high and iresponsiblo position., requiring the exercise of every faculty of mind and heart,and In every situation, and under all circumstances—on the battle field and at the council board—you displayed a courage, zeal, skill and aptitude, which has secured to you the highest praise. I might refer to other individuals of our gallant company, to Capt. Nagle, always the gallant soldier, presentet evasy point where duty called—to Major McMicken, fighting nobly a. a volanteer at the yery gates of the City, of Mexico itself, and entering as one of Its chivalrous con querors—but why particularize where every man was a hero. The history of the campaign In the valley of Mexico, retarded in our country's archives, will speak to our posterity in tones louder, and in, term, more eZ presslve than any that I can use. A. it was considered the brighteatglory aficapolenn's veterans to be said of one ••lie was of tt • army of It- sly," so it will be the proudest boast of yourselves and your descendsaii, "he was of the conquering army of OM The joyous frativities of this occasion are marred b he absence of many faces that we bad hoped to hay seen among You on this your return. They have fallen —but they fell as every American might hope to fall—in their coontry's cause. They need no prouder epitaph! In the midst of our rejoicings at he return of the il lustrious living.—mingle the Just tribute of tears and mourning the the patriotic dead. Your work Is done. A splendid succession of vlctn- ties—dire hundred thousand square mitten of territory, added to the free area of our glorious Union—and a lib eral, honorable, and we may justly hope, a permanent peace secured—are the brilliant results of your toile and labors. that full '•indemnity for the past,and security for the future," which you had a right to claim. You have proved to your own persons that the blond of the men of the Revolutioh and the heroes of the last war, is not extinct in the veins of their .descendents. You have Indeed shown yourselves worthy Inns of noble sires ! But, sir, I cannot consent to detain you longer from the embraces of your eager and expectant friends. In their behalf, I again bid you a heartfelt .Welcome Home." To this address, Col. Wynkoop responded as °Howe: • Felten. Citizens: How can latter this demonstration of welcome, this heart-gushing welcome of Criends and kindred. itnd words to express my feelings. Ilere.on my own native mountains, the warm pressure of friendly hands still glowing In my own—the public voice rising in one com mon shout of jay and welcome for me and the gallant, noble men, of the Washington Artillery. laminar• cannot paint our joy—oar Gratitude, at this de monstration of yourcitizent. Fellow citizens: here are your chlldren—the mountain boys of Schuylkill county: I have brought them back to you, each full of the assurance of having done Ins duty. I cannot do them justice. They return to their mountain homes; that home owes them a debt of gratitude for having no: bly fought their country's battles—for having established and maintained the honor of Schuylkill county.. On the battle field—in the thick fight, in the midnight bivouac, through every vicissitude and danger, they have 'thought of this day, and the anticipation has sweetened their toil and lightened their duties. here they are— let them tell their own story. Again I repeat, I cannot do them justice. In their behalf, then, and for my hum ble self, I sincerely thank you for thlii heartfelt wel come. May God bless you all. The speeches having been concluded, and the presure of the crowd of people; to obtain access to the brave soldiers,so great and uncontrollable, they were dismissed for ten minutes, that they might partake of some refreshments, and inter chan^e greeting s with their friends. The scene, SS the brave fellows stood before the hotelosms one that we ever can forget. They all•looktd extreme. ly. wearied, careworn, end emaciated, while upon many the stamp of disease is plainly exhibited. Tho hand ertended not as it is usually given the shakes were none of your common shakes—Lthe tears none of your common kind ! Every man, woman, and child, as he or she look ed upon thelittle band, was' peculiarly affected —and we had a hard time of it to keep our "in ner man quieted," so as not to make us boo ho! right out, like a big.booby. The line of procession was now formed, at the head of which was placed the military of Schuy I. kill County—who were preceded by General John M. Bickel, • And Aids, as follows: bfgj.

The roofii of houses were, in many places, fill ed with people, as the procession moved along. The side of the hill between Mount Carbon and Pottsville, contained thousands of persons, and the windows of houses, doors, balconies, and pavements were literally jammed up with human beings. The scene might be compared to those referred to by the "gentle Cases:" "Knew ye. not Pompey?" said he to the Romans When they were celebrating the triumphs of Cresar. "Many a time and oft, your infants in your arms, have you climbed to walls and battlements, and there have sat the livelong day,in patient expectation of seeing great Pompey pass the streets of Rome. And when you but saw his chariot appear,did you not raise an universal shout, that made old Tiber treeible underneath his banks, to hoar the repli cation of y oar voices,roade on his concave shores ? And do you now call out a holliday, and strew flowers" (here we must slightly alter Shakspeare) "in their path who come in glorious triumph over the proud Aztec race? We do! In Morris' Ndleon; several beautiful arches were thrown across the street,--the first of these was at the residence of James H. Downey; the next at the corner of Centre and Mauch Chunk streets, and another a short distance above, near the residence of Samuel B. Fisher. The second contained a beautiful bouquet in the centre, with the inscription below, "Honor to the Brave."— The other was a double arch, uniting in the cen tre, covered with several splendid bouquets, and containing a transparency, with the words "Wel come Home" painted in alternate colors. This was illuminated in the evening. Besides these arches, there werei''several other devices, one of which was a painted Ptreameraasproded over the street, and bearing the words: "Oier Country's Defendert—a hearty eieleome home." The next arch was'at the American Home, and it was finished in'the best style. was covered with evergreens, and on both sides of the, street was a tall pole, covered in like manner. A large bouquet bung from the arch, inscribed with the words of Col. Wynkoop, at Vera Cruz, whim or dered by PiHew, ,to perform a commaud—"l will take the heights, air; Pennsylvania never flin ches!" . From the residence of Mr. Neville and that of Dr. Chichester, a banner (the first of a series) was suspended, bearing the words Vera 'Cruz, and surmounted with the National escutcheon. From the residence of Mr. Bannan and the Pennsylvania Hall swung a large American Flag. From the residence of Mr.fluglies to the opposite side of the street, another banner was suspended, bearing the words Cerro Gordo and American thigs, as aforesaid. The next arch was between the Pottsville Hotel and the White Horse Hotel. This arch was an elegant structure. It was fra med together and painted. .Oh the outside were the wurds, in blocks of tin, The!Citizen's Tri bute to the Soldier. , Over the top of the arch were the words, Welcome Home, which letters were curiously wrought in frames, to which were attached any number of small lamps. • In the evening these lamps were lit up, and the words then appeared like a flame of fire, and attracted universal attention, from the real splendor and novelty of the sight. On the other side of this arch, also in blocks of tin, were the words, Our Country Forever. Both sides of the arch teem ed with stars, &c., and the whole device and fin ish were neat, tasfeful, and attractive. This ar was erected by Mr. T. Boyle and Mr. Mar : . From the Pottsville Hotel and the buildings of Lippincott & Taylor, ou Mahautnngo Street, a banner, similar to the two previously noted, was suspended, having the word Puebla, surmounted with two American flags. A banner, similar to the former, was suspend ed between the last described arch and the arch extending from the, store of James M. Beatty-, Esq., to the house opposite. This was made of frame-work tastefully covered with white and red muslin, and at both sides of which were sus pended a large number of lamps, WhiCh were lit up in the evening. On Norwegian Street, fronting Centre Street another banner was hung, bearing the word Sac HAMENTO,—being of the class before noticed. The square between Market and Norwegian' streets was fall of banners and wreaths, The (rota of the large three story buildings at Coal street, were 'rendered very attractive by innu merable flags and wreaths, and from the hall of the Sons of Temperance at the corner of Market street, three or four hauliers and insignias of the Order, were suspended over Centre street. MrcEpting bad an elegant banner hung over this complimental to \[ Captain Nagle and , his men, the particular words of which we have overlooked. -It was elegantly fringed with wreaths and flowers. Mr. Frederick Epting had several beautiful transparencies fixed in the wiudows of his house. An the Exchange Hotel, another beartrch was thrown over the street. This was rttit with Muslin, and then tastefully covered with rope• Wreaths. In the centre there was a beau tiful transparency, bearing the word" Welcome," —each letter being embraced in a wreath. Be low this was a basket woven with wreaths, and handsomely decorated with flowers. At the Town Hall, another of the aforemen tioned banners was suspended over the street, bearing the word " Perote," &c. At the hotel of Mr..Betz, an arch was thrown across the street, covered with eVergreens, and having the words " Welcome Home." At the hotel of Mr. Kueer, immediately above, was another arch, in the•middle of which was placed a gilt spread eagle. Over the top a large number of small lamps were arranged, which were lit up in the evening. On the corner of Millersville street and Mine Alley, tin arch was thrown over by Mr. David Davies ,and others, covered with wreaths and evergreens, over which was a streamer with the words, "Welcome hornet.° their native land,— Gen's. Taylor and Scott, Capt. Nagle and Wash ington Artillerists." ht the corner of Market and Centre streets, another banner appeared, bearing the -words LA lies A, and a short distance above, on Market st., was another, bearing the words 110A.MANTLA. -From the residence, of !Tome Smith, Esq., a green streamer was extended over the street, with the words, in gilt letters, Pennsylvania ne• vet finches—being in allusion to the words of Cot. Wyukoop on the occasion previously refer- red to. Above this appeared another banner, with the word Armco thereon, &ct At the bead of hlarket•place was erected the grand arch. This was a large and splendid structure, and much labor was bestowed upon it.' It was erected, we believe, principally under the direction.of the Chief Marshall, Col. Crosland, and tleticets no discredit upon his taste and judg ment, which, on all similar occasions, is duly ap preciated. The upper part of the front was cov ered with nu imposing painting, upon which was inscribed all the battles fought in Mexico, with the chef d'avre in the centre. Below this was the National Coat of Arms, &c. The structure was- - covered with canvass. While the proces sion was moving through town, the people began to flock around this place in large numbers. The interior of the arch was occupied by a hun dred or more children, from five to twelve years of age, the front part by the committee of ar•• rangemonts, with a position for the orator of the day. • The military soon approached, amidst the swell of the music, the waving of banners, and the enthusiasm of the immense , multitude.— They drew np to the stand, with the civil bodies on the opposite side,and between these the honored guests of the day, with the brave leader ef T their late Regiment at the head, moved forward • g The indefatigable architect, Major Burke, had erected a platform by the aide of the arch, upon which . hundreds were accommodated with aears. at the rate of twenty-five cents per bead. \ After considerable difficulty in getting the re spective bodies in positions, order was finally re stored. and the orator of the day, James H. Campbell, Esq. of this 12toroogh, proceeded with the duty assigned him. The following is a sketch of his : remarks,—, eat however cionapletet it may be, it cannot poreray the eloquence of manner and spirit which characterised their delivery: • Mires Sadiers:' • Your country has poured oat her population to welcome you bogie from the battle fields of Mex ico. With eager: stem and warm hearts: all vie • with each other in doing you honor. .The mill , tare and civic bodies, the professions and author hies of the County, citizens and strangers gather' ' Infiethtt, proud ten welcome and to congratulate' their brave volunteers.

You see around you no idle ceremony, no snip pageantry. We have not as sembled to commemorate the birth day of a king, nor to celebrate the triumphs Oa conqueror. Im perial pomp falls coldly on the eye of • Republican. The return of a leaser with triumphal chariots, and long trains of chained captives, and the goals of war, appalls ttia heart of the Patriot ; but the coming of our eiiizen warriors arouse* the seals, and fires the minds of those around me, while the .enthusiasm of free men, the stem joy which the Republican feels as ha conteipplates the real great ness of his beloved country, swells and surges through this mighty multingde like the heaving billows of the Ocean ! Here the gushing : joy of • people proaktd welcome lieir countrymen from far off and ansenguined Ine—men who, by their braie deeds and villa t conduct, sustained the honor of thei country in th(Ocar of danger. end bore the star and stripe. untaroished through the dark end perilous tide of: battle. In the fes tivity of this glad hour, in the rejoicings of a nio. ment so auspicio us as this, it well , becomes us for a brief period to I turn to that scene of your de parture.

In the glooniy month of December, A.D. 1 : 846, leaving year native mountains amid the teareand blessings Of, your fellow Men, you went forth to battle.— Looking around:upon the gay and animated scene before me, the moment of your departure looms upon the memory' in gloomy contrast. Children coins to their parents with wail end weeping. Wives, sisters, aid mothers embraced their loved li ones in silent •gony, when they I were about verging to the perils of the deadly Conflict. 'How dark and uncertain was then your futurel You ware about to follow the banner of the Greet Republic over telynn vertical and dangerous seas —thousands of miles from the land of your na- ' tivity, far away 1 from the borders of yotir own wide spread country, to the scenes of the tri umphs of CortezHto the land of the almost fa bulous Montezuma.

The proud Gee tillian—tha trembling descendant of the; Aztec, and the savage Camanches.—a people speaking ' strange tongues; sad fighting in a mintier un known to civiliisd men. There rode the Ran. cbero Chief, armed with the deadly Larro.—and there the fell Gearing', asessin like to strike, end pirate-like giving no quarter. Nor wiz this all that was calculated to strike terror into the stout est heart. Thelangel of Death rode abroad on the blast, sstiakir.g : pestilence from her' horrid hair." In the rice of those dangers you boldly enlisted fur the war, and swore upon the altar of :iii 4 • yor country toldevote your: lives to her cause, . ong as oho required - your aid. Bidding adieu hen to all you held dear, you went forth to meet the enami. Your country's honor for your guiding star, wherever it led, you followed, with ' a freemen's hope end e patriot'. devotion. And, as the best evidence of that devotion, let the records of the war, filed in the archives of the country, bear you witness. On the emblazoned page of history fame, with the wend of truth, shell point proudly to the names of Vera Crux, Cerro Go.do, Lal Hofa, Husmantla and Atlizco, and s series of :brilliant engagements before the Walls of Mexico, when this generation shall have passed sway, and the surrounding hills shall have crumbled to the level of the plains before me. Nor can the world's'histar2i obese • prouder page than that on which . all be inscribed the campaigns of the valley of M sic.) and that of the Rio Grande.

And yet Hie boast became reality,' and the eagle of Ainerica plumed hie pinions on the palace of the ancient Aztec kings. • I would'that time. and your convenience would allow me to pangs over these several engagements, and point out some of their many brilliant results.

CLAYTON'S PEEC To the exclusion of much other matter. we are E railed to present this 'morning, the speech of John 31 Clayton, of Delaware. In defence of Gen. Zachary Tay This speech moat rank with the ablest effort§ of our Statesmen In the National councils. It Is a plain. con stitutional expositioa—comprehensive, logical, and per fectly uaasswersbie. NO one ever doubted the honesty of the position assumed by Gen. Taylor,—and after reading this speech. no one will doubt the wisdom and patriotism which Induced him to assume it. We hope every One will read it, and give it undivided attention. It will be seen that Mr. Clayton was unex pectedly called oitnn by the opposition, to define his position,and that the President nfthe Senate attempted to" put him down,' by a decision or order. But this movement was promptly overruled by the members of the Senate, a majority of whom voted to allow Mr. Clayton the floor. tlaWinersrille.—We learn that all the busi ness stands were closed in this place yesterday— /lie citizens, en masse, having visited Pottsville.
