The following message from the Governor was read, to wit: To the House of Representatives

of the Territory of Wiskonsan:

I return the bill entitled "an act to change the corporate limits and powers of the town of Milwaukee," without my signature.

My objections to this bill may be found in that part of my address to the Assembly on the 10th of December last which relates to incorporations. I consider the original charter void and therefore that it cannot be amended.

I have examined the bill, and do not find there is any section in it which agrees with the title.

And I further object to it because the original, and this bill, provide for the enactment of laws and ordinances, and that they shall have effect whether they are submitted to Congress or not. These laws affect the property and liberty of the citizen. This I consider a palpable violation of the act of Congress. The ninth section increases taxes one cent, and contains a repetition of the powers granted in the sixth section of the amended charter.
