(HR KFAILI
The Wrtkit; Post, of this week, issued this
morning. is an excellent number, containing
all the latest news, foreign and domestic, ins
teresting miscellany, market reports, ,l'-.c.,
making in all twenty:seven columns of inter
esting matter, in large, clear and realable
type. It contains an excellent account of the
capture of Fort Duquesne, which occurred
just one hundred years ago, and which should
be read by every one interested in the history
of Pittsburgh.
GOV. 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*.

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. I ilßialot there

OLP, LEGISLATION
- .The gem ral tendency of, legislation at Aar•
risburg this winter may be gathered from the
following summary : Up to the 22d, there
have been two hundred and sixty-one bills upon
the house File. ((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. With all his talent, however, John
would make but a sorry soldier, for he is op•
posed to sleighing during an engagerneni.
Virginia Finances
The actual outstanding funded debt of Vir
ginia on the Ist of J anuary,lBsB,was $27,2 - ‘3,-
880 45 This includes $970.000 hypothecated
by the agent of the Board of Public Woiks
in the city of New York, t secure loans to
the amount of $670,000. The State has prii,
ductive investments amounting to $4,885,855,
and unproductive amounting to «25,313.61
The total of both sorts is $30,199,469. Of
the productive stocks $3,346,950 are banks.
The remaining 826,852,519 of the Common.
wealth's investments are in Stocks of and
loans to internal improvement companies. Of
these but $1,538,905 are productive. 01 the
unproductive ($25;313,613) only the sum of
$4,958,339 is secured by mortgages or other
wise. The remainder consists of stock to the
amount of $10,437,617 in improvements not
yet completed, and $6,917,657 in improve
ments completed but still unproductive.

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

linitertß Lles
A correspondent of the New York llcr ald,
who speaks ex cathedra, gives the following
sketch of the way the " Roorbacks," of the
Eastern press regarding Kansas are thought of
in the territory. 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.

was amended by reducing the number to 3000. The
bill was discussed at length, and the subsdiii.u.• re
jected by 23 against 26.
Mr. Hunter proposed a substitute for the ord-flnal
bill, to increase the regular ttriny.
Mr. Pugh moved to amend Mr. Hunter's -uhsti ute
by authorizing the President to Remit the services 01
voluthiters not exceeding 30011 to, servo as cavils :

which was adopted by 27 against 25.

An amicable personal explanati n was made be

Mr. Crittenden of Kentucky presented a letter front
Mr. Shields, and moved that ho take his seat as Sen
ator from Minnesota. 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.
The Senate adjourned till Monday.

Mr. Quitman, of Mississippi, from the Committee,
on Military Affairs, reported a hill .01 (
organization of a regiment ~ 1 oiour.te t cclunle re, for
the, defence of the frontier ,•! 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.

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.

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

THE CLIEMIC AL OLIVE ERA.SIVE
SOAP, manufactured by B. 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.
