' that the hundreds, he might say thousands,
i it Aided to be relieved from danger for this
idle cause, may now repose it) pence under
this law confirming their titles,—no man
can make them afraid." Almost every long
chain of ellorrya :lees, it is probable, contain
eel some broken links, mended by these acts,
which had enfeeblA the title of the honest
farmer to his farm. And, surely, no man
would have the hardihood to s- , y that the
legislature did not do right ? If it should re ,
fuse to do so in any •snot every similar case,
who 'in the name of all that is just,' could
feel secure in his title to ltia home ? Who
could feel safe a single hour, without hav
ing constantly tt lawyer at his side ? The
moral sense of the community would be shock
ed told outraged :it the very thought !
But here was a case, if possible, of still
clearer and stronger equity, Here was a
deed, perfect in all its features, foe property
held by the CHILDREN of a bone fide, an
innocent purchases, for a full, "a legal and
sufficient .consideraticm;" pre st.vred and left
for them by their father, the fruit of his ;lox
bolts toil on their account. 'A Philadelphia
lawyer' with a rnicri,cope, could find
nothing detective in that deed or its acknowl
cdgment; nothing of the kind, however
slight, connected with it, except the oinie
-6.1011 of a poblic officer to make en entry of
what he certified to at the time it happened;
important note, if at all. becatt, required
by the act; for the recut ding ofthe deed a few
days after its date, .afTorded sufficient no
tice of what had been done, which could lie
the only elf,. ct of such entry. The legisla
ture without any hesitation, as there was not
the shadow of pretext for hesitation, passed
a bill to cure the possible defect. This bill
the governor vetoed—f, what re aS01), %t ran
did pubic, in view 'of all the facts, will be at
a loss to imagine; since it must be abundant
ly evident ti the dullest comprehension, as
we shall further sec, that it was not ftr the
reason assigned. . .
*toad 'ill referring the matter to the
con 't to cause the entry to he made on inves
tigation of the facts, as prayed, the hill re
cited them substantially, and declared "that
the said de from Win. It. Smith Et wife,
to Thrmas Montgomery for the barring el
the said estate tail be and the same is here
by confirmed and made valid in like wanner
.and with liLe elect AS IF AN ENTRY had
been made on the records of the eoutt of
common pleas for the c.innty In which the
lands lie according ten the requirement if the
act to facilitate the barring 01 entails."
governor first insinuates that the facts might
net he truly st , ited; and then objects that
the bill "way dislioe of the whole question
of the tale inn regard to the lands to which it
refers etc." To this, the dullest mind cannot
NI to see at a gl nice. a palpable, ius a 11-su t
ficient answer on the face of the bill itself.
It has a limited and exclusive reference to
the onissm IF THE EN r 11Y; and could not
poSsibly validate any other &feet, if any oth
er existed. Suppose every Oiling contamed
in our petition to have been untrue: (low,
in the name of nommon sense, could the
bill have benefited us, or injured any body ?
Of what avail would be the entry, without
the deeds, the atknowledgment, t 1 e existence
of the facts stated ? Sorely the governor
would not wish to be considered so stupid as
rot to have seen before he had written it,
that Isis reason was no reason at all—not the
shadow of IV ITRISOD. _
The statement ef his objection isTallowed
by the remark: "I would respectfully suggest
whether in all such cases as that tor which
this 18th sec, proposes to provide, it would
nut be better to confer on the court of com
mon pleas of the proper county, it they do
not already possess it, the power to correct
or amend the records of the court nunc pro
tune, on a full representation of all the facts
on notice to the parties interested." This,
separately viewed, looks fair enough; but
there is a subsequent jitct in the 'case'
which shows tit's, too, to be feig.Led. After
the veto, ANOTHER BILL, framed in the ex
act accordance with the above suggestion,
passed bath louses shoed) bet..re the ad
journment; from which the governor has AL
SO witheld his signature! Ilere is conclusive
evidence of his insenc.eilty. Anti let this
FACT, carefully suppressed by the writer of
the 'address,' answer his - hollow inquiry,—
"in all candor, and in the name of ail that is
just; whotilat has any pretence to henesty
would object to giving all the p. rties cm
cerned a hearing in court?" ....et IT echo
back, "THE GOVERNOR !'
The alleged remonstrance contained noth
ing by which the governor could have been
deceived; even if his having the possession
of the records, which GOlittill ALL THE FAGTs
in sight of this land, for 1i years, inquisitive
as he is known to be cheat such
could leave any humen baring in doubt that
he knew them as well as any one else ! Tae"
'remonstrant' was "unaware of the existence
of the deed of Wm. Smith conveying in trust
the property in questmn to two trustees, or
that such an instrument of writing hail ever
been recorded—nor was he aware of the ex
istence of a deed from Wm. R. Smith :aid
wife, (his father and mother) to Thos, Mont
gomery." Now, his claim, if lie had any,
avaseither under "the deed of Wm. Smith"
or some other independent title. But he
"was (at least lie says so) unaware of the
xxisTxncv of the deed of Win. Smith;" and
how could the bill improperly affect any
other better tith ? Again: these deeds ev-
Wendy did or tEd not exist It they did not,
how, I repeat, could the bill bentfit or injure
any one? If they did exist, then the merits
dr the bill vested in the naked inquiry, Llwilld
the omission of a public officer be sujiliti
i a In the one case, it wflaild have been
harmless; in the other, righteous. If the
governor possesses one ninety-ninth part
of the discriminatio., he is supposed to
liave, lie must have seen all this on the face
of the remonstrance at first glance, even
had he not known the whale truth; and
seeia ; it, how w.ts he justified iii making
it a pretext for the exercise of an extra
ordinary executive.pc:wer? It is true "the
,ileed of ‘ , Vin. Smith" is the only paper iu
existence b; which the title got ou t of him:
and it is also tette (as I am informed by
the then officer) Wm. A. Smith (who
"never received any consideration tar this
land," and never GAVE any ! ) spent half a
day in the Recorder's office in 1839, exam
fining these very deedS, the existence of
which lie now, with its little wisdom as
truth, denies: but all this does nut titer
the case. In view, then, of the utter ab
surdity of the reason assigned for the veto,
of the self-evident propriety and justice of
the bill vetoed, aal of me subsequent refu
sal to sign another bill trained in exact
accordance with his own suggestion, how
can any candid reader avoid the conclusion
that the mind of his excellency was biased
by some untold motive ?-and a motive
,which speaks as little for his official in
tegrity, as for ''the MAGNANIMITY," (as he
once wrote of himself !) "OF .HIS OWN
GREAT MIND ! If further evideii were
needed, I might refer to special acts, in ad-'
clition to the general act of 16th April MR

ollect witlicut a morn minutc reference,

no questions for conscience' sake!" And
yet further evidence of a secret motive is
to he found in the uncandid style, and the'
splenetic temper, in which this veto is de-1

abused, under his very eye, if not by his t! is

haps, certain personage had 'a frit nd at
[ court!'
Leaving it to the naked facts to give a
silent answer to the committee's ( ) quits
bles,.presumptions,' insinuations, and ap
peals, there is but one other thing contain
ed in the 'address' which I need particu
larly notice: It is the graVe, I need not
here say, hyfiocritical charge,. that we prb
ceeded by.' `stealth," without notice to Wm
A. Smith. Indeed ! Our petition was
presented during the session of 1840; and
its presentation published at the time, in
all the newspapers at Harrisburg. A bill
was reported during the same session bear
ieg.the undisguised title "An act to quiet
the title to certain lands granted fur the
use of William H. Smith in tail male gen
eral.' The repot t, in the words of the ti
tle, was also published in the newspapers;
entered upon the j un nal of the Senate, [vol
1. p. 7971—and the bill itself remained on
file fur nearly a yea! before it was finally ac
ted on. It is truly marvellous., after all
this, that Wm. A. Smith; and esPecially
his 'friend at court,' had no knowledge of
the bill, until it was laid before the gover
nor 1 Bat Usk!, have given notice ? Was
notice given to the thousands who might
have taken dishonest advantage of the void
acts of the 'Justices?' Were the -eldest
male heirs' whose fathers had barred 'es
tates tail' in the courts of justice before the
act of 1749, and afterwards sold their lands
for their value, and bought again or paid
their debts with the money, insulted with
notice to come forward and pick and pilfer
the property of honest purchasers or their
children, through technical , slips in the
"fines and common recoveries" which that
act CoNFIEMED AND MADE VALID ? Were
the "very large number" of feme coverts
(certainly entitled to as much attention and
gallantry as the governor's modest "re
monstrant!") notified to look upon the rich
plunder within their reach, before 1770;
or the “thotisands" as Judge Duncan esti
mates, Who held the hopes and fears, the
property and just rights of as many honest
farmers in their power, between that time
ant' 1826? Or does the act of 1840, the gover
nor's act, phvide such notice! These see
•eral acts of assemby were the surrict?.,—
that ItIGIIT should prevail; that JUsTICE
.should be dont !' "Notice," fursoothl—
truth is, until are heard of the 'remon
strance' we had not the most distant idea of
the "return' trait's" - pretended clams. Evt n
.then we ctuld scarcely realize it. Know
ing all the facts, we could not presume to
his prejudice—we could nett harbor of him
the degrading thought.—that he could be so
lost to every feeling tf right and justice—
or, if so, thnt he &add so outrage the fee
