' GtNTtKMEN-;—The‘BiU'cntitle(l‘ , Ah Act relating-to Canal Commissioners’* has been' presented-to inc for the Executive approba tion. As I cannot approve the Bill, ! re turn it. to the Senate, in which it originated, with my pbjectioiis.thcrctp, in order, torsuch. further action thereon as is provided: by the. Constitution. The Bill provides for the appointment and election of threc'Canal Commissioners to'wit: the election of tine Commissionerby the Senate arid line by the House of Repre sentatives, and the appointment of one by the OovcVnor. This modc of appointment, as. to any officers of Government, is novel and without precedent; and I confess I can see in the system here proposed, nothing but discord and confusion. It is tin event to, be, reasonably expected, that different parties, interests arid combinations'.in each House, and if be with the Governor, will lead to frequent removals anti changes of the in cumbents, and thus our improvement sys i tern, ins:cad : of being conducted as it should be, with constant steadiness, will be cotir staiitly undergoing the changes and experi ments Incident to our daily, politicalmuta liiins. Collisions \vill faTte- place. In the Board of. Cominissioncrs, embarrassments will be thrown in- tile way of its; action by, the minority of .its, own members, and the public interest will be sacrificed to promote | the objects of private or local or political "designs. By thciipprii ntm'cn tof the Board by each House, and by the Governor, near- j ly the whole responsibility is destroyed.— For'wrongs done-, should they, bo-done, it I will be quite impossible, to J rcach all the dp-,I omits jit; ohcm'^Tlidadherence ;of- lthe, dSwriefftp# or rif either Ht> u set o r i If, fa void te, will ‘place him beyond the reach of popular opinion, although his associates, who arc re sponsible to an appointing,power differently elected, may be promptly dismissed. The Governor, the Senators,'and the members of the House, are notrill elected at once, nor by the same constituents. The members of eacji House are the immediate representa tives of detached . portions of the people, with peculiar local interests to advance, all of which must more or-less conflict with those of the State at large; and although each House, iivthe aggregate, no doubt; re presents the people of the whole State, if is through''the medium of thirty-three members irt one. ami one hundred in the other. Re sponsibility thus divided, vanishes.almost entirely-; and ceases to afford an adequate guarantee to the public. .Should Commissioners thus appointed, be guilty of official misconduct, how are they to be punished? The House impeaches, and the Senate tries—but here the House is Im peaching an officer whom it has ’itself just confided in, apd appointed; rind the Senate is to try justly and impartially, for misde meanors in office, the-man whom it has but a lew days before trusted and honored.— What a spectacle -of absurdity would Ibis I exhibit? ■ Would-ndt combinations among the friends of each m the respective Houses, j defeat thccrids of justice, and laugh to scorn all efforts to inflict punishment? " The history of all. representative govern ments .shows; that at hough their legisla tures; especially when numerous, ate admi rably adapted to the’ enactment of general laws, amt the promotion of the rights-anil liberties of the people, they arc, . froin ~ the very nature of divided responsibility, the must easily, tampered wifhi by poli.tlcuhirir triguers and demagogue's, ; in' their appoint-, mcjit of ol*ariy branch 'of the gov-, eminent; arid in the selection’W tlieir offi oers, have becti often made (he dupes of in trigue, of venality, and of corruption. JJ beg you to understand rite as speaking in the ab stract, and not in regard to any pastor fu ture legislation, I cannot, however, consent to-forego,. altogether; the salutary lessons of experi'enoe.- We have no right to expect ciitire excinption from e vils that other people-have suffered, rind- 1 am determined, sodar as I rim concerned., to share none of intro ducing .them into i’eiinsylvaniai! If done by others, .theirs; he tlje. lirinoi 1 ; I„ waril if mot. - liut i.Ji.iii satisfied that neitheragrecably to the;spirit of our Constitution* nor blithe groundof expediency, oughtthe appointment to bo vcsted in the Legislature.' The Leg-, islature have'the power of ehacting the laws' making, the appropriations to purposes of in ternal ' improvement; and the spirit'of the Constitution, as.wclt as the legislation of the Commonwealth,,(ins provided, that IhcdiS bui semchC of the moneys (iqd , settlement of the .accounts bfdhc- Gdmrim.nweal th should; be, ln‘ the hands, of officers differently apr pointed, evidently, (o. prevent ■ combinations or collusitm, or. the, influences in the appointment otcach.’ To give to nils;, brapfihes of, government. which anpnipriate.thc uipneys/Uiß app'bintment of the. officers \vliu ate tu disburse tliem,.would, in my judgment, tend tpbreakdown.the safe-guards. provided .by 1 theConst in bHc’ money».V-* rr< ■ ■ ■ The liill befoj'c nip presents pt(ier,;diffi culties..

Commissioners: public opinion having decidedly pronounced against the appointment by the Legislature. By the. Act of 28th January, 1836;.the time of appointing Canal Commissioners was chan ged' from the first of - June, to, the first of February,-and by the provisions.of that law, the th'eii existing Board-of Canal Cominis-,, sloncrapsrete-jegislated ' out of o/)fca ibttr ;: mon4hB.h'efoVe missions, biit no'change as to the number of the Commissioners,or their mode of' ap pointment, was made,- It will be within the recollection of all, that the leading rea sons assigned for the passage of the last mentioned act were, that it was more proper that the duties' of the Canal Commissioners should’be'exercised by persons appointed by and having the confidence of the Execu tive, for,the time being,. -than to—lmve the whole internal improvement system, under the control and direction of persons,' who might not hariniiniy.c with the Executive Mu opinion, while he is, in a measure at least, held -responsible for- the administration of the Government. ' - Every set of men have the right, I sup pose, to change their opinions,'when and as often as they please; but I confess I find, some dinicMl tj- keeping “pace with some of the changes of moduli times: for what was then right cannot now be considcted wrong. There is another and to my mind an insu perable objection to vesting the power in the Legislature, as provided in this Bill; and that is, the fact that from tbcTnahner in which the State is districted for Senators and Re presentatives by the'Act of 16th June, 1836, the political character of’ both branches of the Legislature dues not'correspond with that of a Olajuri iyofthe people ottlie State? 'and it is-inipossible-hof to sec that tlieeftcct of the Uill in question, will be tiigive a po litical- complexion to the Board of Canal Commissioners, different from that of a ma jority of the people.’ The whole object of the Bill is, to remove frd'm office men hold ing one set df political; opinions, and to ap point 1 political' opponents' in. their stead.— •Any attempt to-cdnceal it’ from the pebpk" betrays a 1 gross ignorance of their under standing and intelligence.
