S FOR THE GAZETTE OF THE tmi'ED STATES. Mr. Fenno, The power of pardoning is veiled In the Gover nor of Pennsylvania in the fame ample and extensive manner, 2s in England, it is exercised by the king of Great-Britain. The ninth fe&ion of the Con stitution, on the powers of the Executive Magi llrate, enabks the Governor "to remit fines and forfeituies, and grant reprieves and pardons, ex cept in cases of impeachment." The latter part of this clause has indeed introduced a difference, where an impeachment takes place by the popular branch of government ; for, it has been generally supposed in England, though a pardon cannot be pleaded in bar or hindrance of an impeachment, tha the king may pardon the fcntcnce. In Pennsylva nia, by the express litter of the conllitution, the law isotherwife. -But with refpe£t to Courts of juf tics, the Englilh prerogative has not lodged great er powers in the king, on the fubjeft of pardoning crimes, and remitting fines and forfeitures, than the constitution has lodged in the Governor of -Penn sylvania. - u If we are warranted in this position ; and any doubts (hould arise touching the power of the Go vernor, to dispense with the penalty in any inftanee ; an appeal to the law would be highly proper for a solution of the question. Let it be supposed, for example, wc were desirous oi deciding the point "in what cases the Governor may release or discharge a recognizance" ; I apprehend we (hall find, both onptiticiple and authority, that it may be legally done, hi all cases, except where it is taken at the request, and upon the complaint of the party The reftriflion on prerogative mentioned by Brax ton—" non pofterit Rex Gratiam facere cum In juria et Damno aliorum ; quod antem alienum eft, dare non poteft per fuam Gratiam"—is eonfonant to the foyndeft principles of reason and jultiec. But the difficulty lies id discerning the true extent and application of the remark. It is admitted as a general rule, that where an inlerefl is vefled in the party, as in the cafe of bring ing a popular or qui tarn action, the Executive can not release the penalty, or pardon the defendant; because, quod alienum eft, dare non poteft per fu am gratiam. Upon a limilar ground, it is under stood, a penalty once actually veiled, by Conviction, in the party grieved, cannot be discharged. But, it is not so easy to point out the degree, or kind of interejly which thus limits the exercise of theexecu< tive authority. We (hall however attempt to draw the line, and examine the question, both on princi ple and authority. The great diftindlion on the fubjeft appears to be this—Where surety for the peace is taken by a magistrate ex officio, 01 is ordered by a Court, as pari of the sentence, the recognizances in thefecafes, may be discharged even before forfeitures. But where a recognizance is taken at the requett and upon the complaint of the party, it is otherwjfe. It|i» acknowieged on all hands, that any recogniz ance may be released after it is broken, and the debt thereby SOTotmeVy reflcJ In tUs cuhiiu'uiiwedHli.— ~ In wliich cafe we may observe, the prosecutor is as deeply interefled in the business as he' was before the Forfeiture, in as much as compelling -the wrong doerto makefatisfa£lion by the aflual payment of the forfeiture to the public, is the only means of affording him that prote&ion, which hefeeks by an appeal to the laws of his country. If a recognizance be taken npon the complaint of tie party, it is certain, in this cafe, that before the condition broken, the executive cannot discharge ft ; because the party has an inter'efl in it—his per fonalfafety depends, upon it, 'But if the offender Ihould forfeit his recognizance by an aflual ajfault upon the prosecutor, the debt may then be released, tho' it is evident, the profecufcr has become more deeply interefled in the butlnefs than he was before the breach of the condition. The true reason there fore why a release will not discharge a recogniz ance, is not the prosecutor'« having an interefl in the event, but his being a party to the eriginal tranfac lion, and that the debt in thefirjl injlance was creat ed at his requell, and for his sole use and perfonnl fafety ; for, the moment a forfeiture is incurred, the nature of the art shall be for the use of the United States, and be paid into the treasury thereof ; one fourth part for the officers of the eufl.»ms,to be dillributed in the manner now pro vided, relative to that part of the forfeitures they are now entitled to 4 and the remainder thereof, to the officers of -fttch cutter, to be divided among them, in proportion to their pay. Sec. 3. -And be it further eaaded, That the President of the United States be, and he hereby / is authorized to cause other revenue cutters to be buijtorpurchafed, in lieu of such as ate or shall, from time to time, become unfit for further fervice { the expense whereof, as well a3 all future expenses of building, purchasing or repairing revenue cut ters, shall be paid out of the prodn& of the duties goods, wares and merchandize, 'imported into the United Stales, and on the tennage of fhtps or vcffels.
