important, stnee it bestows upon this branch
aid .the President, the exclusive right of
legishrtion. It has been remarked by
an' intelligent .politician-, that the election,
of the Presidsnt by numbers snd not by
states, was intended as a check upon this j
concession Duthow hasthis checkoperated !
in pract ce ? With federal presidents, it has
been a mere nullity. The first, and greatest
of those, (a character of whom I sha'l
never speak but with veneration arid respect,
although I differed very widely from him on
political subjects,) declared in thecasa of the
Untuh treaty, tjiat lie wouldnot depart Jrvm the
advice of the scnate.--l will here use the
language of a friend, who, lamenting this
example, declared - that by it, the pre
sident had transferred his responsibility,
from the nation to. the Senate; and had
made the smallest s'ate in the union, possess
ingbut three votes in the election of President,
as important in mlhieucing his conduct", as
Virginia, which had tweiity-une.' Such a
substitution cf senatorial majorities for the
willofthe nation, U sy 'iimntic of a violent
"antipithy to renuliii law'ivrinciples ; because it -
subhtitutes the diplomatic scents of sove
reignties, for popular tnfiuence because it
prefers a combination with individuals not
selected by"7 equal national sxffrcve, to a
due responsibility to. his constituents and
because it inflicts a mortal wound upon the
constitution, by enlarging its' more, frightful
leatiire into m wore perfect caricature,

In vain do we boast of our; ascendancy in .

Away with your nominal advantage I exclaims

reconcile the incoherent result of the

correct to pve us u representation in propor

national legislature, it was unquestionably
absurd to counteract it completely and ef
