Cor. r.nry, oa the lOib Instant, rat to I lie Henate Ibe followlna; anes.atfe, vetoing the Melropolltaa Pulire Hills To the Senate and House of Jlcpreen tatives of the CoinmoHyealth of Penn tylrania: Geti.kmin : Having carefully con sidered Sonuto bill No. 20, entitled, 'An act to provide for tlio appoint ment of A Metropolitan Police lor the city of Philndrlphin," and althon;h uclubted by a sincere dcoire to conform ' my action in regard to it lo that of' the "jcneral Assembly, I am con. strained to withhold the Executive sanction, nnd proceed to the constitti uui.ai duly ol giving my reasons ior disapproving.- In tho first place tho title is not in conformity with tho eighth section of the hleventli Article ot tlio Lonsliln tion, which declares that "no bill shall be passed by the legislature, eontnin ing more thun ono subject, which ahull lie clearly expressed in the title." As I read the bill ono of its moot impor tant features ia tho election of five police commissioners; and yet this idea, ii neither dourly expressed, nor even remotely indicated by the title. Another objection to tho bill is that the whole sixteen pages are jumbled together into ono stciion. It is usual and proper to divido hills of such u.,11, into iKeiioiis cn.li eml l imr some marked features, and to have tho sections arranged according to , some natural order. Although this is ' only a matter of form, I am uwaro of no good reuson for this departure I from usage, and niter disregard of all sound precedent. Much has been suid about tho char acter and inefficiency of lite polico of Philadelphia: and 1 am fully lr- sttadi'd muny of them aro not such as I e-ood order ol tlio city tiemanus mil whilst this is nn acknowledged evil, j source ! Such power aro not cxer and a proper subject for legislative ' cised by tbe Autocrat ol Russia. The consideration, 1 more than doubt the city councils and the peoplo seem to wisdom of tho remmly proposed by, ... r . ' this hill. It i manifest, however, i that it i a most I in porta nt one, and I that it contomplute an cnliro rovoln-j tion in this branch ol tho citv irovcrn-1 incut The constitutional authority of the legislature, in a period of profound peace, to create a power such is conlemiilated by tho "Metropolitan Police Hill to oteerato over the whole Stuto.or any purl thereof, is a question of great magnitude, and one which, nnder a rrpublicun form ol govern ment, deserves serious consideration, a il involves inherent and indefensi ble and othor fu.idumutitul principles in a government established for the benefit and happiness ol the people. ti. l.;n .,.! ..;. te..i;., ;. fraught with momentous consequences! to liio citizen, of Philadelphia ami of to mo initios oi i uiiaiiupinu auu 01 , the Stato. And the position that the power can fco taken sway from so j largo a portion of the people of Penn- J sylvunia, without their consent, lor a ftcriod of years, nnd lodged in the tands of six persons, is lo me rxlraor dinary, untenable and in violation of the spiiit, meaning and intent of thu first and second sect inns nf the Twelfth Artitio of t'io Constitution. The second section declares "thai all power is inherent in Iho people, and all free governments ure lounded on ftctr authority, and inslilulo for their pescc, safety and happiness." The Constitution sets forth, in such plain and unoqtiivocnl terms, tho principles npnn which a republican government hall bo conducted, that comment would be supcrfluous.and would weak en rather than strengthen the case. If lltere exists any right or authority in the legislature lo concentrate power in a few men for a term of years, then it must be admitted that they have the right to do it for any number of yrwrs, or to make il a perpetuity. To recognize the right to legislate thus specially for one city nrvinuully thus specially for one city nr virtually t0 acknowledge that the legislature !

The city of Philadelphia, in order to pay tho necessary exenes of inr rjovernmont, of her new, iinporlrinl nnd extended improvements, mid the interest on her immense debt (now greater thun that of tho Common.' wealth) is not in a condition to increase her liabilities, and if she does, it outfit to ho with a perfect uiidcrstuiidinjr for what purpose and to what amount. Tho salary of tho mayor, who no. 1 performs all tho functions that are proposed to bo placed in the hands of this board of police commissioners, is fntir thousand dollurs, while the salu riei of the six commissioner, al throe thousand dollurs each, one clerk at UUl-CO UUUU..1 A . 1 1 . .

The bill says : "The said hoard shall have entire control of all the poliro of tho citr, and shall have authority to increase the force orpatrolmen, should thev deem tho sumo iieeissary; and it i hereby mude tho duty of the 'elect and common council to appro, priato sufficient moneys to meet the expenses nf the board nnd said force, This is in every respect the most perfect surrender of plenary pow ers of the mini V to the few that I hare ever witnessed Absolute control of tho police, power lo increase the num ber nt their pleusuro, lo lix the u ages at any figtirxi, without being subject to any ciicck or supervision innn any , entirely ignored by the bill, except . .... i . ii r ... that "the board shall from time to time, submit lo the councils their esti mule of iho sum required for the payment of oflieial Mtlaric and ex- pensos, and for Ihe maintenance) of tho polico force. There is no check or audit preserilicd, and no matter what may be tho sum requited, the councils must provide and appropriate tho amount, and lite people, already overburdened, must meet largely in creased taxation to supply the councils with tho necessary mean to sutisly Iho demands of the board. And after paying the fifty thousand dollars before mentioned to set this "Trojan horse" upin il lev, and introduce il into Philadelphia, no one can estimnte the : increased expense, anu no ono is to ho responsible for the damage that my occur after it. machinery has j ..-.,:,. been i""; operation. The police force ia also to bo put upon a win tool ing, r.very applicant is to be suluniileil to an examination by "a properly qualified physician," and If not found entirely enwpricnt and under the oge of forty jive years, be most be rejected. Why shall trusty, nblo bodied und experienced police olliecrs bo excluded from iho force, without regit rd to pssl service or present efficiency, merely because they aro over forty five year of age? It is probably tho first tune in Ihe history of the State thnt a man in civil life, who is otherwise suitublo i.n every respect, shall be prescribed when he may havo served hi country faithfully in her armies and attained the age of forty fivo years. This is monstrous injustice, and an ostracism which 1 trust will never, meet Ihe snnciion of, or be tolerated by, a brave and gencrnli people. I have not had time to call your nltention to the provisions of this bill a fully ns 1 could have desired, but 1 think I have pointed out tullieielit wrongs, in this nttempt to create such . force, appointed by a ennren- iralion of the people, powir into the I hands nf a low men, chosen bv legls- jlutors from every part of tho Stato, who are fully assured thai their own constituent would not submit to sny tlch infliction of slesolnt government and Uxtllon upon ti e single moQiont, This rmstdve for a king This is tbe kind ofluere njuH ((Udy up. f - NOT MEN. !oii.lation which, liinlor prr.tcnce of ifiirini tho prnco, cronliniliMconlcnt, diHantjafiiriinn find diluilianfO.

A majority in the Slate undortukinp to lefrihiato to perpetuulo ils power by the pasnafeo of laws unequal, tin just und oppressive toward tho minor ity, is not republican in form nor dem ocratic in principle, and must soon sink into imperialism. For theso und olher reasons I can not frivo the executive sanction to this or any oilier act which bus a ten dency to laho from the people any portion of their inherent rights. Tho election of every local officer charged with the duties of executive aulbori- tv, or with tho execution of the laws, should bo submitted lo a direct popu- lar vote; ami 1 can see no reuson w ny tho people of Philadelphia should be mado an exception to this rule, and be deprived of the right of choosing by their own votes who shall constitute tho coinniissonors of police, as well as who shall be their mayor, select und common council, or their rcpreoenla lives in tho legislature. Jt is an elemental v axiom that eve ry government should have some ro sponsible head ; and in a republican govcrntnenl that responsibility should bo to tho peoplo, the sourco of all po litical power. Heretofore, tho mayor of Philadel phirt has occupied this position of trust and responsibility. To him tho people looked, and had a right to look, for the proper execution of the laws and the preservation of iho pence and good order of thocily. If he has failed to meet their just expeetalinns, they have their remedy nt the ballot tox ; and it is fuir to presunio they will nvnil themselves of it al the first law ful opportunity.

Livided respon sibililv in government is a poliiieul heresy, nnd nearly related to no re sponsibility.

TUB RKAL CAUSE OF CALIIOC.t'i SOIH BESS. Even tho most superficial observer of American politics might know Ihut, with onr public men, questions as to sociul intercourse were usually secon dary lo poliiieul aspirations, and Mr. Calhoun formed no exception. Ho disliked Eaton for preferring Van Htiren to himself for President, and Mrs Calhoun's dislike of Mrs. Eaton followed that of her husband, and not tho rcierse. Jackson's Cabi net was, as cabinets in republics are too often, the focus nf movements for ihe succession. Ingham, Brunch and Herrien were Calhoun men, while Eaton, Harry, and Van Hureii himself, were Van lltirefi men. A soon as Calhoun and his friend knew, or thought Ihey knew, that Jackson inclined to the liltle Dutchman, there wit flax for a political con flagnt lion, and Mrs. Knton happened to he the l -I". ,.H (bat, tf'tl.Jl fte u..rl that's all there is of it.

Fit fact, wc hnld that very few women aro suited lo such places. Most of them exceed both the measure, and impropriate sphere of advice. Some, also, Intro manners and habit which incrcaso the difficul ties in their husband's way. The While Ilouso pre supposes, however, a Presidential household during a con tinued residenco of four years. The best head of such a household isn lady like Mrs. Washington; but, unfortun ately, that model woman stands, as 'Mrs. President," almost holilury und alone. Mr. Citlhoitn had hi wifo and daughter with him at Washington; for a residenco at tho capital had become a second nature to him and hi family. Culhnitn was perhaps the purest politician of that period in his principles as to family Pie; out mat purity came lo the wrong market when it went to Washington, t.'ul hotin was to.) grent a moral rigorist in politics, and topping il ofT with sociul rxcluaivcness made him disa greeable to many. Mrs. Culhoun and daughters were Southern Indies, of a typo that become moro and more ill suited to a snciely such a our pnliii cal metropolis must necessarily draw around itself. They revolved from vulgarity and cherished refinement; and w hile they would, as denizen of the White, Ilouso and rulers of tbe social tone, ill tlio upper t il clcs, have exercised a good influence, jet, as I hey hud to move, us cquuls in a pro miscuous crowd, their desiring to con si it nte a society of their own enhanced the many incongruities thai existed between Cnlhotinanil the w orld around i him.

Tuke from Citlhonu his Presidential ambition, und how dif ferent he would have stood to Van lluren! As n competitor, Mr. Cal houn misjudged bim. Ho wanted him out of Juckson'a Cabinet. Ho voted u gainst him as Minister to England, and opposed tilst his eloction to the Vice Presidency, and afierwurd to the Presidency. And nil for whul!1 Because, with the falso Presidential squint in his eye, he saw. an intriguer and an insincere, iicpuuiicuii lo air. Van Ituren, and ho never delected his mistake until 18.J7, when, on frankly and honorably culling on Yun Huron us President, ho snw lor the first time a stutesmun, to whom bo should always have been a friend. And we, who have just jmssed through a careful examination of ull the luets in the premises, must say Van Hurcn was. throughout, high-toned gentleman ; not a word nor a line shows intrigue or bad luith in him. Van Uureu was all right; Culhoun all wrong. The Northern man was in this cuse supe rior to tho Southern man. VAN BL'BEN'S RESIGNATION. When Van Iiiircn left tho State Department in 1H31, he wrote a letter to Jackson, which exhibited hi wis dom in high degree. He makes it a point, that Iho Cabinet of our Presi dents should not bo the arena for sub sequent Presidential strife. Madison wus in Jefferson s, Monroe In Madi son s I unmet, but not at rivals to anybody. They were the accepted successor of the Presidents whom they served. In Monroe's Cabinet there were three Presidential candi dates Crawford, Calhoun and Adams and they w eakened it. This fuel Mr. un Hureii recognized, and the moment he discovered that Jackson's Cubinel was divided on the succession. he preeeived ita injurious effects and prompt I v resigned. It was tho truest act of friendship ever performed in. America, and Jackson appreciated it. Mr. Culhoun understood it entirely, and so did nine tenth of the people. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE MORALS.

The result of these cannot but be eminently di. astrous. It i sonreely surprising thnt our civil triluinnls yield to the pressure of popular corruption. If tho lentil pari of w hat ha been published of their subset vienoy to private interests, po litical intriguo und the art of monop olists is true, the stigma ihut rests upon them is a shamo to the commit, nity that tolerate it.
