To the Honorable, the Senati ; anyl House of Re
presentatibes of the Commonivealth of Penn!a:
GENTUMEN--Tho bill entitled « An not to
provide for the election of Judges 'of , the sev
eral Courts oC this Commonwealth; and to reg
ulate certain ,Judleial Districts," wind' had
just been presented for my approval, contains
some features so objectionable in their charac
ter, and bears Such marks of hasty and incon
siderate legislation; that I feel myself bound
to withhold the Executive Sanction to its pas
sage, and return it with my objections to the.
I-louse of Representatives, in which it origind
. .
ted. .
In the judicial hilitory of Pennsylvania it
mover has'been considered essential 'to Solon
gentlemen learned id the law to not as Associ
ate Judges. • The Presidents of the several
Courts of Common Pleas were required to be
, learned in the law; but early, usage, sanctioned
by various acts of Assembly, bad established
the practice ofi•the ExecUtive to make the se
lection of Associate. Judges indiscriminately
from the poonle, and had never confined the
' choice of the appointing power to the legal
profession. The amendment to the second
'section - of the fifth article of the Constitution,
gave-additional-sanotion-torthopracticerme-it
clearly distinguishes detweee those Judges ro
, quired to be •'"learped•in the law," and the
Associate Judges of the' respective counties.—
lam unable to see any good reason for ro
etrioting the choice of the people OA peculiar I
class of men, nor.can I believe jn adopting thd
amendment to the Constitutioh by their voteei
the people intendetito restrain themselves in
a manner unknown in the history of our state,
The 'bill presented for my approval clearly
contains a provision to that direct. The third
section provides "that the Judges, of the Su:-
. prattle Court, and the President Judges and the
Associate Judges of tho District Courts of the
city and county of Philadelphia, and of the
county of Allegheny, and of the Court oC
Common Pleas of the said city and county of
Philadelphia, and of 11 other Courts of Record;
shall be learned in [helms; and all the .aforeJ
c said Judges shall be qualified electors of this
Commonwealth,' and shall•lin otherwise quali,
Pied as required by the second section of,the
fifth article, of the Constitution of this Com
nionwealth.,. ,
The %gunge' of this section is so plain and
nuequjyocalthat comment is unnecessary and
can scarcely add to its elucidation. ' It cannot
be doubted but that every Court of -Common'
Pleas is a 'Court. of Record.. In looking
through our various acts of Assembly and the
provisions of the Constitution; I find a settled
meaning given to the words "learned in the
Jaw," wheq applied to Judges, and however
desirable it may-be to have our courts compo
sed of men learned in the law, such a restric
tion of choice on the constitutional power of
the people transcends the authority of the
Legislature; .and whether this provision in
the bill was inserted by design, or through in
advertenCe; duty requires me to withhold my
sanction froth a law which comes in direct
conflict. with' thit Constitution, and does vio
lence to the wishes and intentions of the citi
Zeus.
- The eleventh ' section- of the bill pr&ides
that the Governor shall issue commissions
to the 'elected,'" to hold their . Teepee- .
tive offices from and after the first Monday in
December next following such election, for and
during
-their respective terms of office, as pre
'scribed and limited by tho'sesond seetion_gf.
• - fottrt)i_article of - the Constitution of this Coro
nfonwealth. "
Tho section referred to provides for the.
mode of conducting impeachments before the
Senate, and certainly furnishes no guide or
referende to the substance, or form, or extent
of the duration Of a cotnrais_sion_to_be_iesued_
• Ido not comprehend the reason
.or propriety
of its insertion. • It may be a mistake on the
part of the. clerks, or an inadvertence and
wrong reference, but whether it arose from
__either,,it_presentrn ease-of -hastr•and-incon
sideratklegislation, calling for correction.
• The •stxteenth section of the bill provides
that the countiet of Huntingdon, Blair, Cam
• bria and Indiana, shall form the sixteenth Ju
dicial district, and further provides that the
amnia of-Indiana than bo held OA the third
Mondays in January, April, August and No
vember, and in the county of Huntingdon, .on
the days, and to continue the, time now pre
scribed by lati. By the existing laws, the
courts in theklast named county aro required
to be held on the second Mondays ihJanuary,
April, August and November, and to continue
- two weeks, which will bring into direct conflict
the counties of Huntingdon and Indiana. Al
though this is undoubtedly a more oversight on
the part of the Legislature, it amounts, live&
feat, to a denial of justice to the-people of one
or the other of these counties. It furnishios
another instance of the hasty'maimer in which
the bill was gotten up.
With a view of diminishing the expenses of
the Commonwealth, and for more effectually
equalizing the Tabor ofthii - Jiidges, I recom
mend in my annual message a reduction of the
number of judicial districts. The present bill,
it is true, has dispensed with quo of thejudi__-
vial-distilaTaTinit solar as I can ascertain the
amount of business in the respective counties,
it has to a still greater extent rendered the la
'bor of the Judges unequal. Little benefit
can arise to the public treasury from such
partial changes as the present bill contem
plates, while in the alteration of their judi
cial connections, at the time of holding their
courts, groat delay and injustice to the people
may be-the consequence.
to I pressed upon the - Legislature the proprie
nty and necessity of early action on all - impor
tant publiemeasuieti demanding . their atten
tion, and if any ineonveniencearmes from the
failure to legislate on this subject, I shall' feel
absolved from all blame and responsibility.—
A fair and just arrangement of the.judioial
districts of the whole State, will most heartily
meet my sanction, if it reduce 4 the number of
the districts and lessens. thes o charges on the
Treasury. Had the subject been tufted on at
an earlier period in the session, it it quite pro• - -
bable, nay, almost certain, that the errors to
which I have adverted, would have been avoid
ed ; or et all events, leisure would have been
afforded for their correction,
Whether any legislation takes place or not,
the Constitution substantially provides for an
election to .be' _held .by the people,- to make
choice of their Judges, and I shall omit no ef
fort to carry the oonstitutional - plovision into
full effeot. There yet remains sufficient time
to pass a law making tho necessary. provision,
for the manner of voting for the respootive
officers, and regulating the necessary returns:*
There aro other objections to, the bill, and
particularly, to the arrangementlf other dis
tricts, which it is now unnecessary to state. .

/O{I,OORD YOUR DEEDS.
Recording deeds promptly after the sale and
transfer of property, would save parties long
and tedium' law suits. A writer in the Lancas
ter Intelligeneer, with a•view of showing the
importance of this matter, gives. the present
law in this State in relation to the subject:
" A deed should always be reoAded; bot a
deed not recorded is still valid, provided the
same property has not been conveyed to differ-
Ant_parties.. .If. se, Alie party haying . Lis deed
first recorded within six months of execution,
has the best Claims to the property so convoyed.
This is the law in Pennsylvania—hence the ne
cessity .of recording land titles within six
months of executing Meet. But there are
many more reasons. hy deeds should be recor
ded: For instance, in the destruction of rt ti
tle by fire or otherwise, what a diffiCulty and
expense it octagons to, obtain anoilter title,
which, if the deed, ad been reoorclod f could
all have been saved, with the exception of two
tlaree , dollars - for meopy at the 'Recorder's
office. Another groat reason why deeds should
be recorded is, that persons - often pretend - to
own - property for which they hold no title, and
defraud honest persMas by.giving judgment.-
-It has happened therefore, that pe'rsons held
titles for properties 'and on thortrongth there
.obtained money, for Whieb mortgages andjudg
judg-
monte were glyenethe holders of .which tho't
themselves perfectly safe; yetnpon a thorough
investigation, no title could be found, and the
persons who hadtolvanaed.,the moneiWore de
fronded out of the BRIM: lied , the the title
' been recorded,' this could not have happened.
All bond titles should by all, means be record
ed; it secures. the purchaser as well as ;the
money lender, no 1, preyents fraud."

LEGISLATIVE ADJOURNMENT
The State Legislature aijournod yesterday,
at 12 o'clock. No judicial' district bill was
pissed, after the budget of blunders vetoed by
the Governor. Dr. IVetherill did riot Succeed
_ivith_his_divorce The bill. r.epealing_the
sixth section of the .anti-kidnapping law pass'-.
ed. The loookin the House refused to take
up or consider the Free Banking bill. The
- now - Carlisle Bank - bill,' - we - take ii, - didmot pass: -
The bill to repeal ,our 'exemption laws was
postponed t) the 4th of July. The tariff reso
lutions were postponed. So ends this Legisla
ture.
APPROPRIATION BILL PASSED I
The mammoth appropriation liill,'which we
give in detail in. to-day's paper, having failed
to pass th'e Senate was referred on• Stiturday
to a Committee of Conference of the two Hou
ses, who failed to.ngree, and the bill was con
sequently lost.
Late in the afternoon, on Monday, however,
says the Harrisburg American, Mr. Rhoy read
a now bill in place, very similar to that which
had just fallen, which was referred to . the
Committee of Ways and Means. At eight o'-
clock in the evening, the committee reported
tho'hill, and it was' passed rapidly through
both Houses, and will doubtless receive the
signature of the Eseoutive to-day. The bill
appropriates THREE HUNDRED AND 7117 Y THOU
SAND DOLLARS, to be equally divided between
the Allegheny Portage 'Railroad and the North
Branch Canal, and thus avoids the LOAI
which the large appropriations in the former
seemcd,-in-lho-opinion-of-.the_ Ilouse,-to
render necessary.
RHODE ISLAND ELECTION.
Better far the 'Whigs !
A despatch from Providence, dated the 12th

Legislature from this district took place yes
terday, and resulted in the choice - of Thomas

This complete the General Assembly. The,
House stands 87 Whigs and 35 Democrats, in
cluding Wardwell, Free Soil, with the Demo
crats. T.ho Senate stands 14 Whigs and 14
Democrats, including the Lieut. Governor and
one Free Boiler. One scat in the House, hold
by's, Democrat, will be contested.

Later returns from Connecticut show since
“the smoke has cleared away," that the Whigs
will have a sufficient controlling majority in
the Legislature, and will elect a U. S.lienator,

to oppose it. ;•It_has yet to pass the Senate,
however, where it may fail. Since vetoed.

TUE • VICTO MESSAGE
•
In reference to the veto mange of,
' Johnston, containing his objections to the bill
for the regulation of ;Judicial districts, &c., ,
which Trill be found in our columns this'morn
httheitarrisburg_Arnerican .he
seen that the Governor's principal objection to
this bill rests upon n - paltable violation of the
Constitution, in submitting a provision for the
appointment of persons "learned in the law,"
to be Associate Justices of the Courti of Com
mon Pleas throughout - the 'State, instead of
the practice which now preVails, and which
has ever prevailed in this State, of takitig them
froth the MASS OF THE PEOPLE. The Gov
ernor shows conclusively, that in passing of-
Srmattvely upon the amendment ,of the Con
ititution, in regard to the election of JUllges;
the people could not have trupposdd that: they
were changing the uniform practic6 of the
State in this important particular.
The effect of this bill would hard been to
exclude from the Bench, all persons except
those of the legal profession. , . The many Wor
thy and intelligent men in other walks of life,
the merchants, farmers and mechanics who
now fill those places with so 'much credit to
thems'elyes and satisfaction to the people, Would
'have - been - entirely'pro.scribed;and their places
thrown open to bi scrambled for. by young and
inexperienced lawyers, exclusively., fu addi
tion to this grava and important . objection, if'
will be observed that the bill was obnoxious to
several others, which, though they seem to
have been the. result of inadvertence, rather
than design, were of Such a character,ns to de
•feat the due and regular administration of
justice in at least ono of the districts created
by the bill, and thus furnishing another oil
dence of the pernicious results .of that hasty
and inconsiderate legislation so much depreca
ted by the Governor in his annual message.
One of the principal object's of the prejec r ,,
tors of 'this bill, we are infitinned, was to frame
such a district as' would secure the election of
Judge-Black, and thus continue-him-on-the
Bench, thereby compensating him for his de
feat as a candidate for the United States Sen
ate, and for forCgoing his pretensions to the
nominattoirof - his - party - for - G overlies:St - 1 lie

was :plane:must; sustained, not -a single mem
-bervoting-for-the - bill; 'thus- showing - the - over=-
whelming charecfer of the objections raised by
the Governor to its passage. This message fur
nishes another-striking evidence; 'in addition
to the many proofs already exhibited byjilm
since his election to the Executive office,of the'
watchfUltiess and care with which the Gover
nor guards and protects the solid interests of
the people. Itrr active, and pver on the alert,
in the disclu'4; of his c4iticial duties, he- hat'
won for himself an honorable and enviable
distinction as the defender of popular 'lights
.and popular privileges, from the aggressive
and invading hard of reckless opposition ma
jorities in the Legislature, at every session
since the commencement of his term Of office.
The people owe him adebtof gratitude, which,
when the proper time arrives, they will not be
slow to repay.

By this statement be seen that the
salaries of the Commissioners of Franklin
county with its forty thousand nvo hundred and
ninety-onc inhabitants amounts to but $256,‘
60; while the 9earies. of those of Cumber
land with only thirty-four thousand three hun
dred and forty-six, amount to the enormous
sum of $747,00!1 , According to this the ser
vices of the Commissioners of _this county cost
tax-payers $400,60 More than they do in
Franklin, when at the same time their duties
•are less. _

The"Ncwa states,also the additional fact that
in 1847, when the Whigs had one Member of
the Board of Commissioners, their salaries a
mounted to ... several hundred dollars less than
in 1850! These are serious facts, and cannot
fail to arrest the attention of the people of ,
the county. There , must be retrenchment and

The affair has of course created no little

The following highly complimentary notices
of the concert eipn by the choir of the First
TrCsbyteriam - Church, on Thursday evening
last, render it umy,,—essary to add any remarks
of .our own in commendation of the rich treat
affordekby, the concert:
Fur the Herald.
Mr. Editor—We had the pleasure last Thurs
day evening, of attending the most delightful
concert we have heard for a long time. It"wos
given by the choir of Mr. Wing'sxchurch, for
the purpose of raising' funds to purchase an
organ; and was, we believe, the first of a se
ries. It drew together a large and brilliant
audiert6e.„-to-whom it-gave-entire- satisfaction.--
The pieces were all well sung, the utmost at
tention to the minutest details being shown.—
Delicacy and precision were prominent in the
.exectation+-and-theltower-mal-ertml.asi.;--wirenr
ever they were required, proved hew carefully
the choir had been drilled: The light and
shade, the piano and forte, and the colouring,
were observed with all the attention demand
ed; and; taking it all in all, it was. decidedly
the best chorus singing we have ever heard in
Carlisle. The voices_ were in tuna,
and evenly balanced; although, perhaps, two
or three more good 'bass would have done no
harm. Great credit is due to Mr. William
altos, the leader and conductoa for the know
ledge, taste and skill, displayed by bins in
bringing the choir to such a state of perfec
tion; more especially in Carlisle, where the
standard of Church music has always been ra
ther low. The gent of, the evening, perhaps,
was the motette„ "The Lord is niyakepherd"
by Bradbury; the tenor part was ptietiottlarly
well done in this piece, .having been sung hi"'
good tune, and with a good deal of - judgment.
We noticed ono or two remarkably fine voices
amongst the lady performers, especially a rich
contralto, whose power, sweetness and coin
passNfor an untrained voice, were surpritting;
it is such a voice, indeed, as is rarely hoard
off the stage, and i one that certainly deserves
a very perfect bulture. 'We hope soon again
to have the pleasure - of - hearing - another - con - -
cert from this admirable chorus, who may rest
assured that their efforts will be appreciated
by all who have any taste whatever for music,
and in the mean time, the congregation of the
First Presbyterian Church may congtatulate
themselves on having the best leader, and the
best choir of any toWitWest of Philadelphia.

Mr. Editor-L--!We bad the pleasure of attend . - '
ing the concert given by the 'choir of therirst
Presbyterian Church, on Thursday evening
last. We do not profess to be a musical mitio,
but it is .our opinion, as well as that of the
!Mole audience ; that better singing has never
been heard in our borough. The choir i 3 un
deeethe instruction of Mr. Skileo, a gentleman
who understands music thoroughly, and who
has labored for the advancement of music in
our borough with a. zeal. that is highly com
mendable. Every person present was highly
pleased, and passed high encomiums on the
choir. "The emigrant's salutation to Ameri
ca,".a solo, by Miss C., was listened to with
the deepPst attention—the sacred Once only
debarring an expression of applause. "The
good old days of yore," a song composed by
the Hutchinson family, was sung by the'Quar
tette Club, and although we have novel: hoard .
the Iletchinson's ourself, there were those
present who have, and who expressed the o,
pinion that it was given quite as well as the
Hutchinson's could have sung it. We believe
it is the general wish of our citizens that the
choir will soon give another conceit.

,'The above report states that the Chief

discourteous resolution requiring everyperson
who was ncA - amerdlier of the Councilto leave

A VETERAN FALLEN.
de9Aral Buil; Brady, of the United' , States
Arrni, was killed on Friday last, by a fall
from his carriage, in Detroit, Michigan, where
he has been residing for a number of years.—
There - are few men now Bring in our army,
remarks the Philadelphia Bulletin, who have
had - longer service, and there are none who
have been more deserving of the popular es
loth. •
Hugh Brady was a nalive of Northumber
land county, Pennsylvania, and was, at the
time of his death, over eighty years of age.—
Ile entered the miry March 7th, 1792; as an
ensign of infantry. Ho served with credit up
to the Gine of the war with Great Mitain,.and
on the 6th - of July, 1812, ho was appointed
Colonel of the 22d infantry. In the battle of
,Chippewa he headed this . re..rr!prit. which was
a most annihilated iu that mril-fought
the Colonel himself being severely wounded.-
Iris rank in the line, over since the war, has
been that of Colonel,-(of the 2d Infantry) al
though by brevet he has hold the rank "of
Brigadier General since July 7114.1822.--Prob-
ably there is not another man in the world
who has been a Colonel for nearly fortyyears.
Although not for a long time on • any active
duty, General Brady lifts stood high in the es
timation of the Government and of his fellow
citizens. Ile has for many years had his head
quarters at Detroit, and contributed greatly to
preserving plc° on thq frontier • during - the
"patriot" disturbance in Canada. During
Vie administration of Gov. Ritzier, his native
State, in tardy acknowleflgement of his servi
ces to his country, presented him with a splen
did sword. In Defroit, where Gerk. Brady was
best known, he enjoyed the high esteem of ev
ery citizen, as.n brAre'soldier, and an'upright,
honorable man.

Ile saitlthe bearing hid been continued from
day today since Friday last,' and his , decision
was now to be made ; and as no Court had in
terposed to relieve him from the responiibility,
he should not shrink from it. Ite was here to
decide a great riumstion of law onliiS conscien
tious convictions of the truth. ;The. Commis.
sinner reviewed the law, cited authority, and:
then took a careful review of the evidence, and
said that there was no doubt in his mind that
tho'alaim of the agent of Mr. Potter was well
founded infect; and said, I deem it my duty
to -grant a certificate for his removal hack to
Georgia, and therefore do grant it." 'The .fugi

under the direction of the Marshal. , Much ex.-•

Triumph of•La' h.-Departure of Slum
for the South.
BOSTON, - April 12th, 1 851.—After Judge
Woodbury had pronounced his decision yester
day afternoon, ho said in reply to an observa
tion of the prisoner's counsel, "f thank God
Massachusetts is a State of the Union,
and so long as she is such, I shall administer
the laws 'of the Union or perish in the at
tempt."
A crowd of about . one thousand persons fol
lowed the witness to theirhotels. The South
erners were accompanied by a large police.-1—
The received cheers, groans, and hisses, but a
cry for "three cheers for Daniel 'Webster and
the Constitution" was responded to in a glori
ous manner. During tho'night there was lit
tle excitement, though the watch ',and police
were under military drill until 4 o clock this
morning, when they halted in a body in front
of the east doOr-of the Court House, being in a
hollow . square.
The Fugitive Simms was brought from his
place of confinement, and placed in the area,
Madill° whole body moved off down State street•
to-Long-Wharf, wheio Simms was deposited
on board the brig - Acorn, Coombs. 'The brig
was towed„down the harbor by, the Hornet,
and is now probably under good headway for
Savanah.. Several officers accompany the cap
tive.
. The whole affair passed off very quietly.--
There were from three to four hundred po
licemen and watchmen in the column, armed
and equipped ; the military had no look at all.
U. S. Marshal Derma, and City Marshal To
key, were in the column, as were also the U.
S. Deputy - Marshals. '
Simms appeared to be in good spirits, sins
limbs being free" from irons or handcuffs of
any description. The procession was led by
the U. S. Marshal and his deputies, followed
by the armed police; they proceeded through
Court and State, streets and down Long Wharf,
followed by, about .100 abolitionists, among
1 whom was Rev. Mr. Culver. Not the least at
tempt at violence :was made., Mr. Culver and
other persons in the crowd ocdasionally de
nounced the procredingo, and called for the
thunarbolts of Heaven to be poured clown up
on them. When the procession reachedthe
wharf, the brig was found to be nll ready, with
the sleamer Ifornet alongside, with her steam
up. Simms was taken immediately into the
cabin.
