POLITICAI
MR. GRtfNDT RESOLUTIONS.
: Mri Grundy offered the-following; re
solutions, which vVerf read and laid pn
the; tablej under the rule of the llouse,
which requires all 'the resolutions to1 li$
on the table for one day. They were sub
sequently takeo up according to order
and adoDty.I " r- ..:
ITie General Assembl j of the state of
Tennessee has taken into consideration
the practice which oit former occasions
ha? prevailed at the city of Washington,
of members ot,the Congress 6f the Uni
ted States, meetuis in..LAt'Cus, and
nominating' nersona to be voted for a
President and Vice-President of the U-
nilcd Stattfs; and upon the best View of
the subject, wTiich this Ueneral Assent
hlr ha been eaabled to tale, it is be
lleved that the practice of Congressional
nominations is a violation of the spirit o;
tbe United estates.
nrovides that there
thrert eparate and distinct de
government; ana rcat
care tod caotioa seems t hav been
exerciacd by its frainers to preve nt aay
ooe department from eiercisio; the
snsailcat drfree of iafluefic over Ano
ther; and such solicitude was frit on this
subject, that in the second article it is ex
pressly declared, "That no Senator or
Krprtienlatitt, or person boldiox aoy
office of (rust or profit under the United
States, shall be appointed an Elector."
From this provision, it is apparent, that
the Convention intended that the rue tu
bers of Congress should not be the prin
cipal and primary agents r.adors In
electing tlie President and' Vice -Presi
dent of the United State o far from
it, they are expressly disqualified from
being placed in a situation to vote for
those Lili officers. Is there not more
danger of indue influence to be appre
hended, when the members of Conirreai
meet in Calico's, and mutually and feo4l
jemniy pieuge Uiemselre to support the
individuals who may have the highest
number of votes in such meeting, than
there would be in permitting them to be
eligible to the appointment of Elector:
In the latter case, a Ccw characters, ten
derej ineligible by the . Constitutiorf,
might succeed; but, iu the former, a
powerful combination of influential men
is formed, who may fix upon the Ameri
can people their highest officers, agaiiial
the consent of a clear maioritv of the
people themselves; and this may be done
by (he very men whom? the constitution
intended to prohibit from acting on the
subject. Upon an examination of the
Constitution of tho United States, there
is but one case in which the members of
Congress are perm lttetl to act, which Is
in the event of a failure to make an
clection-by the Electoral Colleges: and
tnen. me members ol tlie House ot Ke
prcseutatives. vote br States. With
what pronrietT tlie same men who. in
in the ye4r 1823 may be caled on to
uischare a L-onstitutiopal duty, can, in
the year 182, gu ioto Caucus and
pledge themselves, to support the men
tliAn nnminnfail nnrtF- tm ! lanist-nkfl
especially when it might so happen that
thu persons thus nominated could not,
under any circumstances, obtain a sin
K'.e vote lrom the State whose members
stand pledged to support them.
It is said that an election, by the
ar is.. ' .. .
llouse ol uepresentatives would be
dangerous, occurrence, which ought to
be avoided. If so, let the Constitution
be so changed as to avoid it; but so long
as the constitution directs one mode ol
electing officers, let not a different mode
prevail in practice. When the history
of the American government Is looked
into with an eye to this subject, the ap
prehended danger disappears. Expe
rience' long since pointed out' the incon
veniences of tho original provisionin
the Constitution on this subject. An
amendment calculated, as was supposed,
to remove every obstacle, was proposed
by our wi9ct statesmen. It was adopt
ed b the American people, and no di(
ficulty has presented itself in subse
quent practice,. Shall a fear that the
amendment made may tail to answer the
end proposed by it, induce us to adopt
a course, ur pci isi in a practice wnicn
id manifestly an evasion of the Consti
tution, and a direct inlraction of the
spirit of one ot" its most important pro-
visioAsr -
It has been saidthat the members of
Congress iri CiMtcui only recommended
to tue people lor whom to vote, and that
such recommendation is not obliratorv.
--This is true, and cfeai It 'troves" that
it is n matter wtneft docs, njut belong to
tliem that in recommending candi
dates, they go . beyond )he'; authority
committed to tliem as members of Con-
crrptu anil tlnia trancrnml llio h-nc" ,(.
legated to them ,by tlieir constituents
li ineir acts n,au . any oungatory lorce,
then the authority must be derived from
ir .1 .i . ii a t : ,i ;
some part; f the Constitution pf the? Ut
nited states,: and miglitbe Rightfully
exercised; but wheti tliey say they onljr
TVLuiiiuiuw, ii is an uvuiiBBion on uieir
part that they are ctin without autho
rity, and are attempting by an usurped
muuence, to enect an object not conn
ded to them, ' and not ' within their
powers; even by implication. ,,lt canhbt
be admitted that there is any weight in
the argument drawn from the fact, that
both the parties heretofore contending
for the superiority in the tfiiited-'Stfltes,-have,
in former times, resorted to .his
practice. The factions of public. or pri-,
vate'meu, heated by private seal, and
strugglins; for ascendancy and power.
ought not to be urged as precedents,
when circumstances have entirely chan
ged, m All political precedents are of
uouduui aumonty, ana snouiu never
be permitted tb pass unquestioned, un
less made in good tjmea and for lauda
ble purposes. In palliation of the prac
tice of resorting to caucus norainations
in former times, it was said that each
party must, of necessity, consult toge
ther on the best practicable way, and
select-the most suitable persons from
their respective parties, to that tlie ti
oited tfFirtiofall tho comnosinr it -
ought be brought to bir spoa their op .
pooenis. it is to tw recollected mX
there is no danger of'a departuo from.
or vtoUUoa of the Constitution.' except
when strong temptations are trestoted.
and this will seldom occur, except when
parties art am red iainst cacti other.-
and their felinn violenty excited, Tha t
