"The principal objects which, I suppose, engage
the common desire and tho common exertions of
the Whig party, to bring about, in the Government
of the United States are :

Canal Commissioners
.y Opinion of the Supreme Court.
The Commonwealth vs. James Clarke, Jes
se Miller. and Ft m. B. Foster, Jr.
It is unnecessary to advert to the corn
mon law definition of an office, or to the
supposed distinction between'offices in the
appointment of the Executive and offices
within the power of the legislature by the
original constitution. The question for
decision turns on the peculiar provisions
or the amended constitution, and it lies
almost within the bounds of a nut shell.
011 The Bth section of the 6th article declares,
that "all officers, whose election or ap
pointment is not provided for in this con
stitution, shall be elected or appointed as
shall be directed by law." The election
or appointment of Canal Commissioners
was not provided for by the constitution,
and it was consequently to be provided
for by law. But it was declared by the
schedule appended to the instrument (sec.
Lion 11,) that " the appointing power shall
- remain as heretofore, and all officers in
the appointment of the Executive depart.
silent shall continue in the exercise or the
duties of their respective offices, until the
legislature shall pass such laws as may be
required by the Bth section of the 6th ar
ticle of the amended constitution; and
until appointments shall be made under
such laws, unless their commissions shall
be superseded by new appointments, or
shall sooner expire by their own limita
tions ; or the said offices shall become va
cant by death or resignation?' Now the
Canal Commissioners were officers within
the appointment of the Executive at the
adoption of the amendments; and conse
quently were to remain in office till laws
for elections o• new appointments should
be enacted. But the same section of the
scedule directed those laws to be enacted
by the first legislature under the amended
constitution; and us the injunction was
not performed by it, the argument on the
part of the Commonweath is, that it could
not be constitutionally performed by a
subsequent one—of course, that the pow
er of appointment remains with the Exe
cutive.
The authority invoked for this interpre
tation is the decision of this court in the
Commonwealth vs. Lieb (9 Watts, 200,)
in which it was held that the execution of
a power by the first Legislature, as direcs
ted by another section of this same sched
uel, could not be repeated by a subsequent
Legislature, on pretence that the prece
ding one had not carried out the views of
the Convention. The 9th section had
directed the first Legislature to divide the
Associate Judges of the Counnon Pleas
into classes in order that they might be
displaced . in turn, according to seniority
of commission, in a certain ,number of
years. The classification was made, but
the second Legislature un4ertook to re
model it on the ground of mistake, and this
it was held incompetent to do,not only be
cause the power was a discretionary one
vested in a particular body, which was to
judge of the exercise of it, but because it
had already been exhausted by the execu
tion of it, and was gone. Being executed,
it had become obsolete and incapable of
giving authority for further action. What
conclusively showed that the exercise of it
was limited to the first Legislature, was,
that subsequent legislation would have
come too late for the object ; for, when the
second act was passed, the period for the
expiration of the commission) of the first
class had already elapsed• How differs
ent the case before us, in which the power
to enact laws for the introduction of the
particular amendment had not been cu.
cuted at all, in which the power is not
such as must necessarily be exhaused by
a single exercise of it. It was a cardinal
object of the convention, to place the ap
pointment to office, ur,d the patronage con
. seq sent upon it, in such hands as the Le
gislature should front time to time direct ;
not to have a final disposition of it by the
accidental action of any one Legislature.
The puopose of subjecting it to legislative
action at all was, to have the benefit of
changes which experience might from time
to time show to be expedient. But the
power of the Legislature over the classi
fication of the Associate Judges, was ne
cessarily limited to a single exercise of it;
and the act, being done, could not be re
peated. It would have been a curious, but
by no means an amusing spectacle, to see
a class of those judges, who had retired
from the bench under a particular classifi
cation, re-called to it, and their successors
expelled, by the establishment of a new
one, according to the alternate prevalence
of parties in tha political arena,
To have applied the principle of the
Common weath vs. Leib, to cases of a dif
ferent stamp, might have led to startling
consequences. By the 7th section of the
6th article of the amended Constitution,
' Justices of the Peace and Aldermen,
shall be elected, in the several wards, bo
roughs, or townships, at the time of the
election of constables, by the qualified
voters thereof in such numbers as shall be
directed by law ; arid shall be commission
ed by the Governor for a term of five
years; and by the 12th section of the
schedule. The first election for Alder
men and Justices of the Peace, shall be
held in the year 1840, at the, time fixed
for the election of constables. The Le
gislators at its first session, under the
amended Constitution, shall provide for
the said election, and for subsequent elms
ilar elections. The Aldermen and Justi
ces of the Peace now in Commission, or
who may in the interm be appointed, shall
continue to discharge the duties of their
respective offices, until fifteen days after
the (ley which shall be fixed by law for
the issuing of new Commissions, at the
expiration of which time their commis
sions shall expire." Now on the princi
ple of construction asserted by the Com
monwealth, what would have been the
consequence if an accidental difference
of views between the Senate and Rouse
of Representatives, such as actually oc•
curred in regard to the Canal Commis
sioners, had prevented the first Legisla
ture from enacting laws to carry the ul
terior provisions of the Constitution for
the election of Alderman and Justices of
the Peace into effect? It would have
been the frustration of those provisions,
and the perpetuation of the old mode of
their appointment with its attendant prin
ciple et tenure for life, and with the pre
servation of a great share of the Execu
tive patronage which it was a special
object of the Convention to destroy.
That is not all. Though the justices
and aldermen would have held their com
missions for life, there would have been
no power under the constitution to supply
their places at their death; and thus this
indispensable arm of the magistracy
would in the end have been cut off; The
11th section of the schedule which provi
ded that the appointing power should re
main as heretofore, was predicated of offi
cers indicated in the Bth section of the
article; for it is restrained to officers in
the appointment of the Executive, whose
electron or appointment is provided for in
the amended constitution. It was said in
regard to these, that they should continue
to exercise their functions till the Legis
lature should pass such laws as might he
required to give effect to the Bth section
offthe 6th article; and it was consequently
in relation to the offices indicated in that
section that it was said the power of ap
pointment should remain as heretofore--
If' that provision were an independent and
unrestricted rule of the constitution, it
would annul all the alterations for ap
pointment to office either by the Execu
tive or by the Legislature; but it was ex
pressly restricted to officers whose election
or appointment is not specially provided
for by the terms of the amended consti
tution. Now the election of justices and
aldermen happens to be thus provided for
in the body of the instrument; and it is
therefore not within the conservative ope
ration of the 11th section of the schedule.
Can it be thought, then, that, by directing
laws for the election of justices and al
derman, to be enacted at the first session,
the convention meant to expose one of its
cherished alterations, and an entire branch
of the majistraey, to the chance of de
struction from the uncertain action of the
legislature ? Perhaps nothing conduced
more to the success of the amendments
than public clamor against the inferior
magistrates ; and though it may be entire
ly true that the quality of these officers
had not in any great degree been improvs
ed by the change, it is certain that a
change was called for by tire public ;
which is all that is required- for the argu
ment.
The principle of strict construction,
would frustrate important provisions in
every newly constructed frame of gov
ernment. It was provided by the Ist ar.
ticle and 3d section of the federal consti
tution, that the Senate should be compos
ed of two members, from each State,
chosen fur six years, and that immedi
ately" after they should be divided into
three classes, in order that one third of
the body might be chosen every year.—
Yet, on the principle of strict construe-
tion, a postponement of the division fur a
month, or a day, would have presented an
insuperable obstacle to the organization
of the goverment. Necessity, the para
mount rule of interpretation,demands that
such provisions be deemed only directory;
as was the injunction imposed by the 7th
article of our Constitution, which has been
retained by the reform convention, that
" the legislature shall, as loon as conve
niently may be, provide by law for the es
tablishment•of schools throughout the
state, in such manner that the poor may
be taught gratis." Yet, though it was just
as convenient to perform this duty at first
as at last, it was not done till half a cen
tury had elapsed ; and no one doubts for
that reason the constitutionality of our
system otpublic schools.
Still further. If the power of appoint
ment remains with the Executive, it must
be because it was vested in him by law
at the adoption of the amendments ; and
it must be exercised in the mode prescribed
by the law, without confirmation by the
Senate, though it was evidently intended
that no executive appointment by virtue
of the constitution should be valid without
such confirmation,except that of Secreta
ry of the Commonwealth, Thus, would
not only the power to appoint Canal Com
missioners remain as it was, but also
the power to appoint all officers whose ap
pointmmit is not specifically provided for
in the amended constitution : and thus,
too would the principal part of the execu
tive patronage be restored by an acciden
tal difference of views between the bran
ches of the first Legislature. That differ
ence would have the effect too, of engral t
ing on the original constitution a power
of appointment which originated in an act
of ordinary legislation ; and this, too, with
out submission to, or adoption by, the
people. . . .
A constitution is not to receive a tech
' nical construction like a common law in
strument or a statute. It is to be inter
preted so as to carry out the great princi
ples of the government—not to defeat
them—and to that end, its commands, as
to the time or manner of performing an
' act, are to be considered as merely direc
tory, wherever it is said that the act shall
be performed at the time, or in the mari
ner prescribed, and no other. The object
of the command, in this instance, was no
more than to urge the Legislature to put
the elective principle in active operation
at the earliest (lay parcticable under all
the circumstances:and it has been accom
plished. What is this schedule? It is a
temporary provision for the preparatory
machinery necessay to put the principle
of the amendments in motion without
disorder or collision. Its purpose was
not to control those principles by the hap
pening ofun event, but to carry the whole
into effeet without break or interval.
Its use was merely to shift the machine
gradually into another track ; and having
done its office, it was to be stowed away
in the lumber-room of the government.—
Nothing was further from the purpose of
the convention than to make anything
contained in it a matter of permanent
regulation. Its uses were temporary and
auxiliary.
To suppose that the provisions in the
Bth section of the 6th article, were to de
pend for their etlect on the sanction or
.co-operation of the first legislature. would
be to suppose that it was intended to give
that body a controlling power over the,
public will expressed by the amendments.
It would have been an abuse of the pow-'
er which the convention had received
Irons the people, to delegate any part of
it, except for merely mini,terial purposes;
and especially to delegate it to a body
whose action would be final. It is im
possible for human forecast to provide
against accidents which may stop the mo
tion of an untried machine ; and they
must be repaired when they occur, by
those who have the management and di
rection of it. The convention could
not foresee the difference which took
place between the Senate and House of
Representatives in the first legislature;
and the great elective principle establish
ed in the body of the constitution must
not be suffered for that reason to fail.—
It is considered, therefore that the dem
urer of the Commonwealth be overruled ;
that the plea of the respondents be sus
tained; and that they go without day.
Finances.
We copy the following from the letter
of “ Oliver Oldschool," written on Mon.
day the 17th inst., the last day of the first
session of the 28th Congress.
In the Senate, Mr. Evans made an in
teresting and highly satisfactory expose
of the state of the finances of the coun
try. He stated that a public loan of 55,-
679,000 would fall due on the first day of
January next. The Committee on Fi
nance had not deemed it necessary to
make any special provision for the pay.
ment of this loan, and he would state the
reason.
There was on hand, on the Ist of June
inst., not embracing the receipts of the
preceeding week,86,500,000; and he es
timated that, there would be an available
balance in the Treasury, on the Ist of Ju
ly, of 57,700,000.
Many, he said, thought, at the com
mencement of the present session, that
there would be a deficit in the Treasury of
four millions and a hall of dollars; in
stead of which we had a surplus of seven
millions, seven hundred thousand dollars.
The, receipts into the Treasury, up to
the 30th of June, fur the present fiscal
year, would be, from customs, &c.,
612,000, and from the sales of public
lands, 81,900,000—total $27,512,000.
The expenditures fin• the same time would
be about 820,000,000, leaving an excess of
receipts over the expenditures of $7,
500,000. It was the first time in many
years that the receipts had not fallen short
of the expenditures.
Mr. Evans then went on to show what
would be the condition of the Treasury
on the Ist of January next. The total re
ceipts of the calendar year, up to the Ist
January, he estimated at
$31,659, 249
And the expenditures at 21,756,529
Which would leave a hal-
ance of $9,902,720
Say ten millions, in the treasury ot► the
first of January next.
In the meantime, treasury notes would
be falling due to the amount of something
more than two millions. These and the
loan above mentioned will make a sum
loial of $8,000,000, which deducted from
the surplus on hand will still leave a bal
at:e in the treasury of two millions of
dollars.
The public debt now amounts to 823,-
891,140; after paying off the loan and the
treasury notes falling due, it will be, on
the Ist of January next, ahoutfifteen mit:
lions of dollars. Mr. E. expressed a de
cided opinion that the tariff act of '42,
left to its fair operation, would yield a
revenue, with the land sales, of $25,000.
000. This will be more than will be wan•
tell for a series of years to come, the ap
propriations this year being only $lB,-
000,000. The ordinary expenses, he
thought, need not exceed 1;20,000,000,
a year. This would leave an annual ex
cess of $5,000,000, and enable Congress
to make such disposition of the proceeds
of the sales of public lands, as may be
demanded by the popular voice.

Dr. WISTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHER/Ir.-.
This is a chemical extract from Wild Chefry and
Tar. Every body knows that Wild Cherry pos
sesses important medical properties—and Tar Wa
fer has always been administered in Consumption,
and lung affections generally, by our oldest anti saf
est physicians. This preperation embodies all the
virtues of Tar and Wild Cherry in a much smaller
compass than any other ever pronounced. The
manner of preparing it, and its success in all Pul
mongri• and Li. er affection. conclusively Drove this.
We say confidently, no medicine ever effected such
wonderful cures. Let no one give up to Consump
tion's fatal grasp without giving this a trial. Being
formed from vegetable substances, congenial at once
to our soil and our system, it is safe, simple, and
efficient. A treatise relating to this subject may
be had, without charge, at—.; who also is agent

Mrs. MARY CARMON, formerly of Barren town
ship, aged 75 years.
[COMMUNICATED.]
In the decease of this aged lady, her relations
and all who knew her, have lost one, who was,
through a long lifo of usefulness, beloved by all.
Through a long and severe illness, she was never
heard to murmur or complain ; but she gave evi
dence that she possessed that grace which enables
the Christian to say at all times " Good is the will
of the Lord." She attached herself at a very early
period to the Presbyterian Church, and has since,
lived up to the requisitions of the Church ; and bore
honorable testimony to the religion, ss it is in our
Redeemer; manifesting at all times and under all
circumstances a quiet and meek determination to
" work out her soul's salvation, with fear and trem
bling." Her assurances of a gracious welcome by
her Saviour, enabled her to-exclaim "0 Death,
where is thy sting, 0 Grave where is thy victory !"
This privilege is highly consolatory to her afflicted
relations and friends. That she is now in Heaven,
realizing the fruits of her obedience to the will of
God, while in a state of probation here, admits
scarcely of a doubt. God is no respecter of per
sons, but cometh at an hour when we least expect
him. As she lived beloved, she die,* mourned by
a large circle of relatives and friends.
"Go all undimmed, in thy glory go !
Aged and crowned bride of death;
Take hence to heaven
Thy holy thoughts and bright,
And coring hopes, that were not given
For the touch of mortal bligth !
Might we follow in the track,
This parting should not be !
But the Spring shall give us violets back,
And every flower but thee !"

thod of recommending afresh said Machines
to the citizens of Huntingdon county.
Grimes' Patent Smut Machine
was patented in March, in the year 1839,
since when it has been introduced into gen
eral use; and the subscriber feels warranted
in saying that it has proved itselt as perfect
as human ingenuity can make it—tar sur
passing in durability, and all the necessary
requisites of a Smut Machine,all others yet
orfered in the United States. He has been
engaged for some time past in selling
Grimes' Smut Machines and where they
have had to compezew ith the best rival Ma
chines ; and are at this time decidedly the
most popular amongst Millers, every day
demonstrating their superiority. Nor does
he speak unadvisedly. In confirmation of
his assertions he begs leave to refer to the
following gentlemen of integrity who have
tried Grimses'Smut Machine, and can speak
from experience. Matthew Crownover,
Huntingdon ; Neff & Co., Williamsburg,
John Nichodemus, Morrison's Cove, John
Biumbaugh, Morrison's Cove. Many oth
ers could be obtained, but it was not thought
necessary.
