Unity Of he Federal Erecutipe -The doctrine pro-
pounded by the Washington Madisonian, that the
Federal Executive must be regarded as a whole-a

considered simply the opponents of the Presidents
deliberate conclusions have produced an I'M
reasonable degree of surprise Most assuredy in the
of the Constitution the Executive branch of the
Government is undivided power with exclusive
responsibility Such thing a Cabinet is unknown

tive consultation with what is called the Heads Of De-
partments either separately or unedy this NAV be

Heads OF Departments are presumed TO execute

judgments and necessary TO carry them practically
out.
Let US only consider the consequences of an oppo-
site doctrine. The President being entrusted with
large powers limited alone by his discretion, and
spcnsible for their proper exercise finds will sup
pose that his Cabinet have resolved that his nterpre
tation of the law faulty and refuse TO aid him in the
discharge of his official duties. In this official
responsibility is Incurred without the power to exc

performance of his duties, while the instruments by
which and through which he alone act refuse
their official aid and concurrence Such doctrine
would be destructive of the necessary unity of the

the constitutional penalty Tor Don-executon. 1t di-
yides his power while his responsibility remains ndl-
visible The utility of the Executive is the theo

Philadelphia Interests.

Our Philadelphia friends to msnif, st con-
siderable anxiety in regard to the contemplated
rail road from Harrisburg to York. The Tide Wa
ter canal has already, and must continue TO draw of
a vast amount of the Susquehanna trade fiom Phi-
ladelphia 10 Baltimore. From Harrisburg to Bal
tmoIe, by rail road the distance is SO miles. From
Harrisburg to Philadelphia the distance is lO7
Thus showing that Philadelphia cannot compete
with Baltimore for the Susquehannl trade, when
that trade once reaches point so low down as Har-
rishurg. # is obvious then, that this trade should
be intercepted at the nearest points and it is some
what singular, that with all the projects Of widening
canals, tow.boat companies, aud projected rail roads,
! that the citizens of Philadelphia should forget that
! they have a rail road extending from the city TO
! Pousvile almost completed, and that from thence TO
| Sunbury there is but link Of IL miles wanting,
to complete an entire rail way communication from
! Philadelphia 10 the Susquehannn. The distance
from Sunbury to Philadelphia by the Danville &
Pottsvle and Pottsye, Reading & Philde phin
rail road is 1875 miles. From Sunbury to Balti-
that place by rail road the distance also l35 miles.
From Sunhury to Baltimore by the Tide Water
Canal and sloop navigation the distance is about
$50 miles. As Sunbury is locacled at the juno
ton of the North and West branches of the Sus-
quehanna, il will be seen tina, this is the proper
point of connection in order to secure the trade OF
both branches At this point too, commences the
great Iron Region of Montour's ridge, in the sur.
rounding neighborhood of which, tonnage amount.
ing to several hundred thousand tons will be pro-
duced in the course Of few years in the manuac
ure of Iron alone. If these facts are not sufficient
to induce Philadelphia to complete this unfinished
nk of II miles of rail road by which, at lrihina
cost she can secure all these advantages we lhinh
it is in vain TO induce people hereafter 10 take
of their own interests. Besides Philadelphia ha
another interest in this matter This unfinished
link OF l2 miles runs through the GiraTl Estate, a
bounding in valuable veins Of Coal, which, in it.

that estate holds also, two hundred thousand dollar

, would be greatly ehanced in value
