PACKER'S VETOES As foreshadowed in his inaugural address, Gov. Packer seems determined to put a stop, so tar as it lies in the power of the Executive to do so, to hasty and unnecessary legislation. Three bills have been passed during the time he has been in office—a day or two more than a month—which he hAs deemed it his duty to veto. In each instance ho bas given his reasons for withholding his approval in clear and distinct terms, and in each instance his opinions have been fully sustained by the very men, who have passed the bills. The last veto was that of a bill to incorporate the Norris CorniSh Engine Works. The message is a very able one, and is especially worthy of consideration as designing a policy regard ing incorporations, which will have a power. ful bearing upon future legislation as no doubt, the Governor intended it should do. The Goverisor objects to this particular bill because a company like the one contemplated is already fully authorized by the general laws of incorporation, and therel e e no necessity exists for a special act—because the bill pi () poses to limit the bonus paid to the state to a less amount than the general law, and thus infringes upon the principle of equal taxation, and because it does not hold the stockholders individually liable to the, same extent as the general law respecting corpora tions. There are other wholesome restraints imposed by the manufacturing law and its sup plements, which.iire not embrac:•d within the bill. After disposing of his oluoctions Le t Ito bill before him, Governor Packer con. ludeti his message with the following swim) find sonvi-, tile general remarks upon the subject 01 sp*. vial legislation, which wo in to tin cartful perusal of our waders "1 hav, Ow- • P ..r.

Hence, that which one corporation can do with impunity, is expressly forbidden to another of the same character. Another evil grows out of the defective rinchinery provided for the practical operations of companies organized under special laws. Frequent occasion is there by given for supplementary acts which fill our statute hooks (although they are of no public interest,) and occupy a large part of the time and attention of the General Assembly and the Executive. It is a public grievance that so much of the time of the several departments of the government, should be diverted from the per formance or other important public duties, and consumed upon acts of this character- While disclaimi Fig hostility to propor legislation for incorporations, I am, nevertheless, free to sa . ‘ that one main 111 - wridone for the success of our business interests roust eest upon individual enterprise rather than corporate action. That close and careful attention to the minute details of business, as well [I. that strict economy in its management, absolutely necessary to -ticcess, can ,only be insured when the motives that prompt are the hope of individual gain and the fear of individual loss. Money cannot take care of itself, and all experience proves that the extent of capital invested in a corporate enterprise will guard the institution from insolvency and ruin My earnest desire is, that our plan of iucorpo rating companies for business purposes, shall he the one best calculated to advance the interestA and well being of the State, and one that whilst it may afford a reasonable prospects of gain to the shareholder, will, at the Hanle time, protect those who arc strangers to the profits, from the necessity of contributing to the losses of the company. Such a plan can only be secured by a law general in its' provisions extending equally over the entire State, and applicable to every citizen desiring its advantages.

((f the-e, three were for insurance companies, three relate to iron and coal companies, three to railroads, three to em power corporations to borrow money, seven teen to incorporate miscellaneous companies and charitable institutions, nine relative to roads, eleven relative to claims against the State, six relative to banks and banking, four to divorces and one to passenger railways. There arc two hundred :Ind twenty-live bills on the Senate File ; three to charter insurance companies, two relating to coal and iron cor• poration, three to railroads, eighteen to Luis. c .llaneous corporations, seven to roads, eleven to banks and banking, one to aivorce, and two to passenger railways. All the bills not classified as above relate to business of u miscellaneous character. Up to the present time but little has been done of ge , eral public interest. The first of March is at hand, however, and the agricultural portion of the members will begin to think about their farms, and, as a matter of consequence, busi ness will begin to be hurried up.

FEBRUARY 26 I❑ i first place, Nvii. The inovinient in favor of the repeal of this tax appears to be genetal amen); the commer, cial men of the State. On Tuesday last a memorial, very numerously signed by the merchants of the South and West, was pre sented to the Corn Exchange Association of Philadelphia. This memorial expresses in emphatic terms the opinion - of these gentle men upon the impolicy of the tonnage tax inp, posed upon the Pennsylvania Railroad by the State Legislature. It complained that their preferences to the Pennsylvania Route were hwarted by this injudicious impost, andsolicit ection to seek for its removal. The removal of this tax would be equiva lent to a bounty of nine cents per barrel upon the single article of flour sent over this route and to a corresponding amount onl grain and other articles of western produce. In short, he impost is a direct obstacle to Penneylva nia trade, and a discrimination in favor of the roads of other States which are in hot rivalry with our own The Pardon of Munroe Stewart The press, not only of our own city, but generally throughout the State approve of the action of Governor Packer in granting a par. don to Munroe Stewart. In speaking of this matter the Philadelphia Bullctin says ; Governor Packer has pardoned Munroe Stew art, recently under sentence of death, for shar ing in the M'Keesport murder. Under the circum stances the pardon was perfectly proper It is very probable that Stewart was accessory to the deed, but, both his accomplices declared with their dying breath that he was innocent cir cumstance quite sutiliciert to establish a doubt as to his guilt, and it is a humane and noble feature of Ewilish law that the accused shall always have the benefit of a doubt I; is well as it is, and the tloveruor has acted humanely and ored itahlv. Owv,Ns, as John ()nit, is immense. Indeed in all the characters which he plays he exhib its the richest humor and most delicate comic talent.

Dicklnaon-- Ws Opinion on Knout'''. ILLARDS' HoTEL, WaSiliW2Aoll, Feb. 20, 1856. GrENTLEMEN : I A.III honrire.l with your kind note of this morning desiring me to name ail evening when I can meet my iliTieratic fcii nds of the District, and others ii'c ruing here, anti Ora expression to my opinions upon the great public questions of the day. I feelinLly appre ciate the generous and confiding spirit which suggested a compliment so gratifying and listin guished, and regret to add that, while it would afford me the highest satisfaction to comply with your request, the professional engilgement wide!. brought me here has just been cldsed, rat hp-,. calls of kindred character at home compel iii leave the city. Our country, blessed by a beneficent l'ravi I. dence with all the elements calculated terchtler a nation prosperous and happy, seems destined t,, convulsed by internal strife and disfigured by tiumestie discord. Of all the agitations which have disturbed our repose as a people, and arrayed one section against another, I have regarded, and will re gard, the Kauses question as the great artificial and causeless, originating in a great degree in bad intentions and worse actions. For all present purposes I shall not consider the oriminatious and recriminations which have prevailed, nor the allegations of fraud, violence, and treason which have signalized its unhappy history, but remark that the evils of which its people complain originate in their own bosom, and that as a people they have - generally held, and now hold, a fall and ample remedy in their own hands, and that those who refuse to exercise one of the dearest privileges and highest duties of freemen—that of the elective franchise—may indulge morbid grief, or cherish partisan spleen, but should never be especial objects of sympathy. The people of this Union have interests, both foreign and domestic, too mighty and diversified to bestow their time and energies and sympathy in considering the details of local constitutions or the fairness of territorial elections over which they can have no legitimate influence or control. Had I been a member of the Lecompton conven tion I would have urged the submission of its constitution as a whole, and in all its parts, to the people fur approval or rejection. But I am unable to perceive upon what poJaible sound the ory of non-intervention either the President or Congress can go behind a constitution republican in form, and determine whether a people who might have voted for delegates did so vote, or whether the delegates itg convention, in neglec ting to submit the detail r 6 of the constitution to the people, obeyed or disregarded the popular I will ; whether the constitution was wise or un wise, slave or free. All these are question be longing exclusively to the people of Kansas, at all times under their complete control, and in which the federal government, cannot intervene without disturbing the foundations upon which the popular federative edifice rests. If Congress may reject a constitution because its detail we r e not submitted to the people of the Territory, it may, in like manner manifest its disapprobation because they were. It it may intervene me compel a submission to the people, it may inter vene to prevent submission ; if it may reject a constitution fur the sole cause that it authoriz slavery, it may reject it because it does not ; and popular sovereignty becomes but another name for the federal despotism. The Democratic party, throng' many periods of vicissitude and trial, has proved itself to be the guardian of the constitution and the Union, the preserver of the public peace, and the foe of sectional strife and disunion, under whatsoever pretence presented. Its chart is the constitution, its policy progress in the cause of true freedom and human regeneration. The country looks to it again in this crisis to put forth its conservative power and r escue the last hest hope of man from the evils which menace it. The administration of its choice, firm in its purpose, and guided by wisdom and moderation, is devoting its best en ergies to procure the admission of Kansas into the Union, and thus le' - fave the elements which dis turb a nation's repose and arrest its progress to the correction of those with whom they originate. It is gratifying to perceive that the democracy throughout the Union, with great unanimity are railing to the support of the administration up on this great principle and sustaining its policy. This Kansas question is the aliment of those who live and move and have their being in sec tional strifes; and they will feed upon it and urge it upon others so long as it can be made available for partisan purposes; and when it can he no longer used to stimulate faction or "adorn a tale," it will be discarded as worthless, and all the clamor for freedom and the rightsof the people of Kansas will vanish into thin air. No one familiar with the course of events can doubt the design or the consequences of a pro longed existence of this controversy, nor the importance to the best interests of the country and its institutions that it be brought to a speedy conclusion by receiving Kansas at once into the Union. That done, the question no longer re mains a disturbing element beyond the confines of the State. Thus limited, with the inherent and conceded right of the people to change their constitution at will, it becomes a question of local and restricted interest, and of course t e stricted agitation. Beyond that limit, while sotto have been misled by artificial clamor, the first object of those politicians who started this issue and seek to prolong its discussion is the over throw of the Democratic party and the adminis tration of its choice—a party which is identified with the great interests of the country, and which at all periods of its history has interposed MEE 11 ri•l it • • I • • t . .Ci! • Vl . 1 W . 411.11.ui , f(7l:cprzt- upon the consequeuce,;, if at. this tiara, nut uuder such circumstances that party and its adminiAration shall be broken down, and itll the disturbing ele- Ira tits at the late Presidential contest he again et in in..tion; arui let him - tiskliimself if be can tna.le auxiliary to such an *object and to such e e ra , .•t i tiortecs.

He says:— It i.. a ,ingular fact that people, in this other w;se fiat country, get their most important local news team the eastern paper It iv a fact, Rl,u, that this important near when it does arrive, finds, " Laughter holding bath his sides." The way some newspapers and their fanatical read ers are " bled:" is enough to arouse the sympa thy of the,tougheet "border ruffian." In taking up the accredited organs in New York, St Louis and Chicago, (the respective facilities of which for blood and'thuuder seem commensurate with the changing necessitie .of the party ) one begins to wonder if be is in a dream, or out of Kansas, or, where is Kansas, or how and whence come these many contradictory and .false tales. Cui- ' bone P -Friends writing from home are inclined to indulge in complaints, and: refer me to such sources for confirmation. More than that, they cutout the editorials io which the old stereotyp ed tune is sung over, and which, provokingly enough, the editor refers to his Kansas corres pondence " in 'another column" for the ;non of what ho says. All I can say is. God help them, if they stake the accuracy of their knowledge of the civil and military hi,.tory of this " Kan -1 H9B imbroglio" on such ree'oda. Between Kansas boribles, manufactured to play on the passions of weak humanity, and its current of political trickery there is a wide gulf of discrimination. The latter seems to be truth fully portrayed by some gentleman writing con fully from Lawrence The whole things reminds rite of a pot of 'iv. , ei Is, wriggling, squirmine, wouud and bound up in every imaginable slope The fact is, nothing but the admission of Kan ras free Stale will Tight matters new all wrong. The practical eanditinli Of the Territory is a settled thing; but that is not enough. A Strict aiiheraucto to the sanctity °flaw may coin • pel Congress to accept the Lccotopt on coth-titu ; and those who imagine civil VJAV will follow I'3l' act are simply mistakeu. Nor such thinp. A few assassinations or bloody noses do not oonstitute civil war. Those on whom POW pent tip passions might fell el.] well be spared ; - deed, it would have heeu well for the community 1 . a Kilkenny extermivatiou in certain quart r, had taken place long ago. As I remarked in a previous letter, the Krtn.a , comedy is nearly played out. The republic au party has clung to it,tooth and nail, hammer and tongs, with the ruling passion Firm in death. It still hogs to the ultra partisan stain meat, that the administration is dkertili 13 ,, i forcing slavery in kitnsait, aided by gunpow ler an .1 lead. But such virtue willreap its reword.

The negropholists will con continue their worship and high-r law" absur dities, while old Berks will resume voting for Jackson, and stick to the plain English it our beloved constitution.

The letter argues that Minne sota is now a sovereign State and one ef the 111 elll - hers of the United States, referring to several prece. dents in support of his position. A discussion ensued as to whether this was a priv ileged question. Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, thought it was a privileged question, but sontended that Minnesota had not so far complied with the terms of admission as to en title her Senators to be sworn, withopt some action by Congress. Mr. Crittenden sent up the eredentiat of Mr Shields. Mr. Crittenden argued the question of privilogo Ile contended that Mr. Sideids had a right to hi s ea HS good as his own, and urged the importance of lin mediate action. Mr, Johnson, of Arkansas, moved that it bo tabled, which was lost by a vote of 2(1 against 22. Mr. Toombs said that the whole que:tion was: Is Minnesota a State ? Ile submitted a resolution re ferring the question relative to Mr. Shields to the Ju diciary Committee, with instructions to inquire whether Minnesota is a State of the Union. Mr. Bell remarked that he did not say that he would disregard the instructions of the Tennessee Legislature, but he would not obey them; nor did he say that ho would vote for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution. Ile was in clined to go against it, but would await new develop. merits. Mr. Seward begged leave t, interpose, saying that he paid particular attention to Mr. Boil's speeeh, and when Mr. Johnson replied, saw that Mr. Johnson had misapprehended when he spoke as if Mr. Bell had pledged himself to vote for Kansas under the Leoompton Constitution.

Texas, It also am therises tho President to call otn, as emergencies may require, four additional regiment,: of volunteers. lie thought this bill more in accordance with public sentiment than any yet presented. The consideration of the bill wa , postponed ant next Wednesday. Tho Matteson OKrllki called up. Mr. Harris, of Illinois, expre. , sed his belief tha the house had the power, and that it was its duty to pass the res elution, and to do it at oI3CO. All the facts wore in form, and the depositions all the members were probably familiar with. Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, said that on a for mer occasion he had moved, as on net of justice, the postponement of the case, having heard that Nlrs. Matteson was sick. Since then he tt..d learned that the statement was fabricated. Mr. Seward, of Georgia, said that a more impor tant question could not be presented. Ile had voted for the expulsion cf Mr. Matteson, because he thought it just that he would now defend his conoi_ tutional rights. He asked, where I? On law or the clause in the Constitution prohibiting the people from electing any one they choose. Mr. Stanton contended that the House must keep within the spirit of constitutional rules and the rules of the common law, namely : that no man shall be punished twice for the same offence. Mr. Matteson had already been tried, convicted end punished. Mr. Taylor, of Louisiana, believed Mr. Matteson guilty of conduct disgraceful to an American citizen, but contended that the constitution gave Congress no power to expel members excepting for disorderly conduct. The House should adopt rules clearly set ting forth what s hould be a ground for expulsion. lie anticipated no good results from deciding this case in the absence of such rules. Mr. Nlatteson's constituents doubtless would, next November, place the seal of condemnation upon his c, nduct. Each constituency have the right to decide for itself the character of its own represen titiTes. Mr. Giddings said that the people of a Congres sional district had a right to be represented on the floor of this House. Mr. Mattozon's absence shows conclusively that ho ought not to be here ; neither the sickness of his wife, nor the death r,t' his father, nor the 'illness of friends, rh„uid detain a member from his, post. He rejoiced that the worh . of purifica tion be commenced by. the Repubii,•an party, and in voked the House to establish a T.reeedenz by an im mediate decision. Mr. Hughes was opposed to hasty actin; he there fore moved a reference to the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Smith, of Virginia, contended that it wax the right and duty of the House to expel a member for improper conduct, but it should be controlled by sufficient reasons. It was due to Mr. Matteson's constituents that the House should act ii order to pass, themselves, upon his conduct. Ho favored a reference to a select or other committee. Mr. Nichols would refer to the Judiciary Commit tee. He doubted l ythother the House ad power to expel again. He !believed that Mr. Mattenn's trial was a fair one, and punishment had followed it, yet Mr. Smith would punish again for the same offence. L \IORE FRAU; S Not , - or wet , : the' lls l ,r .i. in 10 ,, 001110 01 ”gain3t su ch ut. &n i ts. He waived the power of the House litni - ed by legislation as to the particular tuanntr dealing with such questions of privilege. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, would expel Mr. Mat teson not only for punishment, but for the purifica tion of the House: He would expel him as long as - ho, Jones, should be a member . ofl the House, if Mat tes on's constituen6 should continue to re-elect him. lie considered hiM morally disqurliad as a member of an American _ Congress. Mr. Curtis considered -Mattesen as -unworthy of .q,.,.riation with the. members, and self - respect re .i u uhis expulsion.' Mr. Harris, of Illinois, defended the resolution. lie said that a gross outrage had been committed, and that the House by the expulsion of Matteson hod removed a loathsome excrescence. They were not punishing him twice for the - same offence, but only vindicating the character of the House. Ho would not be compelled to sit with felons and 800U12- . drels if he could help himself. He said that the country demanded Matteson's expulsion. Mr. Morrill a-ked whether Mr. Matteson's constit uents had demanded it, or whether there were any.. petitions for it. Mr. Harris said that ho bad iteceivod batches of letters and newspapers, but he did not know or care about petition . ho House was acting independ ently of Matte,on's constitueots. Mr. Gruw a..id that the letter on which the charges against Matteson was based, was known to his con stituents at the time he was elected to Congress. The gentleman from Illinois had said that he would not sit hero with rogues and villains, but, continued Mr. (-how, the people of the Congressional distriots choose our associates. If members had their right; if they can say who shall sit here, they could exer cise the power of tyrants. Suppose a convicted mur derer was sent here, could a majority drive him out 7 Ho protested against such assumption. Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, moved to lay on the table ; rejected by 81 against 122. It was referred to a se• lect committee by 93 against 87. The House adjourned. From 1,11 ashing ton. WABEINGTON Crnr, February.gs.—The defeat of the Army bill is not considered conclusive respecting an increase of the army, on the part of the Sonata, which body will await the action of the House on the mea ,ure there pending for additional regiments. The House Committee on Elections have come to no conclusion in relation to the contested election from Ohio. It is not true that the House Committee on Terri. tories have agreed to repot t a bill for the territorial government of Sierra Nevada; they have merely de cided to consider the memorial on the subject. Mr. Clay, of Kentucky, appeared in his seat in the House today, and received the congratulations of his friends on the settlement of tho late difficulty with Gam Cullom. The Supreme Court will adjourn to-morrow till the at of April. Important from the Army ST. Lours, February 25.—E. G. Brown, the Utah correspondent of the Now York Tribune, arrived last night, in company with the United States Attorney. They left Camp Scott on January sth. The health of the army continued good. Tie weather was re markably mild for the region. Very little snow had Fallen in the immediate vicinity of the Camp. Tilt ground the most of time was almost bare. The District Court had indicted Brigham Young, Elder Kimball, and others, for high treason. The Mormon Legislature was still in session. The latest dates received from the States was 0 1 the Ist of October. Much anxiety was felt in th erruy to hear from the East, in consequence of th rumored money panic. Prom Kansas. ST. Louis, February 25.—The Leavenworth Timed says that the judges and clerks of the election at Shawnee have been arrested. They testified under oath, before the investigating committee, that the poll puuk of Shawnee was taken to Westport, and hit three hundred names were added thereto at that place. J. J.

C. & J. H. Sawyer, re• receives the preference over all other kinds ever offered fur family use. Its advantages over other Soaps are :—lst. It is cheaper to use, ono pound being equal to throe of common rosin Soap. 2.1. Half the time need only be occupied in washing when this Soap ie used In place of other Soap. Zid. Labor in washing can be nearly dapensod with, as the clothes will require little if any rubbing, thus avoiding their wear on the wash-board. 4th. Bolling the clothes is unnecessary when this Soap is need, and hard or salt water answers equally as well as soft. sth. Printers, Machinists, Painters and others, find it far superior to other Soaps. It speedily re moves grease, tar,. paint, printers' ink and dirt from the hands, leaving the skin soft, and free from chapping. To avoid the labor of rubbing the clothes, and the use of the wash-board, the following directions should be followed : For the wasting of eight ar ten of a family, take one pound of Soap; cot •it into shavings, and dissolve in one gallon of hot water; put the clothes into a tub containing about ten gallons of warm water; pour in the dissolved Soap, and stir thoroughly. Let tlem soak twenty to thirty minutes, wring Out, and rinse In warm water once, cold water twice. A very dirty wristband, or semis or grease spots, may require a slight rubbing, but otherwise the clothes will come out clean and white, without rubbing or boiling. Cold water may be used in place of hot, requiring about double time in soaking. Air Observe our name on each bar.
