It may be trite that cases occasionally arise of such extreme haidship, as to warrant ragsage of special acts of divorce; .but suet, as. requirelegislative interposition eau lint seldom occur, unless the wide 'Tango of the act of 1815 is extenileo beyond reatime= ble limits. The signing of bills • for disk - dying trie - bonds of matrimony has always been to me a,perplexi.o! duty. I have hitherto given My assent to tl7ern, confiding in the Judgment and direretiTm .or - tlse Top - reetiiTives Of people, to whom,.and not to the Executive. the !acts of .each ease are submitted. But upon a review of the special di vdmes grant= ed since the hutment of the act of 1815, it appears that there has been an alarming increase of them which should, - in my opinion, be arrested. During the first period of ten yearsfiflet the pa'qage. of the said act, laws were passed 'for tliVoming thti parties to sixteen mart iage contracsi; dining the neNtien yea rs, :Jeri g-two, and during the east ten Years, ninety were. passed. . I know of no change 'in the habi's, inan ners, or condition of thd citizens of the State; in their social relations,- or in the increase of their - it umber, iharaccounts. for, or warrants this increase-Of divoreeS. If Is possible that the^cause of it may in a degree.be 'found iii die facility of obtaining- legislation on the subject. Without further inquiry into. the cause, ihtleffect - is, in my iudgment,injurit',.. -o-Js- to the public welfare, and ,ihOuld be atrietiy-guarded-against in -future.-- Whatever doubts roay_har, now enter;ained, of the power of the Legis lattire to pass divorce laws, for Any :other cause than adultery, or to pass therri under the provisions; of the Constitution of the Linite'd Statei, that no State shall pass any law int. -pairing the r‘bligation of contracts, it seeme.,, to bee 'needed . , against the opinions of many wise' and good mep, thaLthe_poiter..marbet—, constitutionally exercised; but 'in viesswa...:: these opinions, the extreme delicacy and responsibility ,of granting these applications app ear in a strong light. Under 'the marriage contrast, important and valuable rights are vested in the parties, and heavy respon..i, are assumed which should not be disttlib"ed, even when"" - the power to interfere is unquestionable, without legal notice to the 'tarty. who is to be affected by the preceding, and a tair and open trial, the right to which cannot be doubted, and can only be secured by refer ring the patties to the jadicial tribunals. In ever' view f can rake of this interest ing gubjeil, I 'am persuaded that these spe; ' cial. leg.slative divorces, have a dangerous tendency, and that if the powet togrant them is exercised at all, a proper regamd for the public welfare requires that it should be limited to gases of ;extreme hardship and unquestionable .propriety. • - The piegrese of our age in civilization, has been distinguished in Ponsylvania, by the amelioration of the penal code, and her improved prison discipline. The organize.' tion of her penitentiaries, their domestic economy, and the care and attention to.tho supporto•leantineSs, industry, mid moral in: • structinh of their inmates, have' secured thd • • genend mprobation and confidence, of oar own citizens ' and have eXetted the admire' Lion of other States and nations,- and- furnish: ell moileis for their imitation. The Phira: detnluii Society for alleviating the Miseries of pubhe prisons, has exercised an efficient agency in predneing these valuable results. In order' that all the benefits of experience nmy be had and improved ; they ... .stibhiit the propriety of making . provision by law for obinining,,, annually .accurate information relative to the convictions ter crime, the character of the criminals, the condition and eXpemtes of he penitentiaries and pHsons of the Klein monwealth, and the costs of supper tine the convicts.
