Voors c. G T tht Editor tf the Junrna!. Your correspondent, -Patrick Henry, hav-.rr-Viimed with at least a much spirit ns iudirroent, the decision of the Vice President onthe extent of hit power over the freedom uf debate in the Senate, in order that bo;h side of the question may be hea.-d, I claim the privilege of offering, through your co- lumn,atew uas.y r""' """J";: The point at issue is, whether the i president has the right to call a Senator to ...Ur. for worth SMXttS in aroaie. n-urvwi- rfspondentinaintaiB that he has that right, .a ih,tt I. his dutv to exercise it: and hence ihr inference that he, and he alone, is responsible for whatever disorderly words mav be uttered in the senate. l' deny the riftht, the duty, and the infer ence; but in doing so, 1, by no means, admit that those parts of the debate in the Senate, in which the administration has been assailed, und for which its advocates are attempting tO miKc me Vice rrcaiucm i.sjuiuuii could hate been pronounced disorderly even if the question had been presented, by the call to order on the part of a Senator. I defv vour correspondent to produce a single- instance in the proceedings, either of the Englisn rarnamem, or or uie niucntan Congress, in which a menibor of either of those bodies has been pronounced out of or der, even for the most direct and unqualified chanre of corruption apain'st the Executive Government, or any of its Departments. ; Is there, indeed, any American, so ignorant of the nglui and privileges ot ire Lcgisiauv c branch iifa free (Government, as to maintain, tJiat tie presiding officer of c ther House of Congress coiitd righrTuIl call a rriembeVto order, for charging the President and Secre tary of State with having formed a corrupt toalition? To be more specific, will Patrick llcnrv." or any other friend of the" Adminis- 'tration. assert, that the Vice President, even admitting he had the power to call a member of the Senate to order for disorderly words, would have been justifiable in calling Mr. Randolph to order for speakinff of the" un- Tirard of coalition between the Puritan and the black-lee?" And vet, the Vice President has been most wantonlv and in-atuitously as tailed as the instiirator of the duel between Mr. Randolph and Mr. Clay, because he did not prevent Mr. llandolph from uttering those words, which nothinir but a despotic Power, worse than the sedition law, could hive orevented him from uttering! But to return to the question of the po'wer of the Vice President, over the freedom W .debate. It is not my intention to follow your lorrespondent through his various allegations igainst the presiding officer of the Senate. 1 his iajiot necessary to a correct decision of tlie question at issue; and, though it ia quite obriwis that the Vice President, and not the question as to his powers, is the real object atvhich Vatrick. Henry" aims, I will not follow his example, t. Without- going into a full or formal argument upon' the power of the Vice President, as the presiding officer uf the Senate, I will at once refer to the rule if the Senate, which is very short, and must of itself be regarded as deciding the ques tion. What does it provide? That, ,! if a member be called to order for words spoken, the exceptionable words shall be immediate ly taken down in writing, that the President way be better enabled to judge." Will it be pretended that this rule cives the power to the Vice President to call a Senator to order lor words snoken? On the contrary, v.cn 1 ttdmittinir that the power of tailing a Senai or to ordert'ar such words, would be, under or 'ilinary circumstances, an incident to the power cf presiding over the Senate, does not mis ruie contain a clear ana ciecKieu.inipi :ion; that the howerof the Vice President in such cases, is nnnellate merely? This con-- elusion becomes still more obvious, when we j tativeson the tame subject The nine'teentfi Vu'.e of that House irpreuly Confers upon the apeactr the powerana txprestiy mates u his duty to call a feieu'blr to order, iivcasses of 'his description. It ia 'in hese words " if any member, in tpealcwg, of otherwise, transCTess the ttilea of the House, the Shea- W that!, oray member. nny, ca l him to order." The Striking eotitrast between tliis nne and the corresponding rule ot tne c sen '. goes far, of itself, to iuatifv the construe hon which the Vice President Jias pu'. upon the latter; '"H'hfl' one f the two presiding officers of the co-ordinate branches of the same j Legislature U expressly invested with a pow- r, and the other is not only not expressly nvtKc ith it, but impliedly dive ted of it; the Utter officer would !e justly chargeable W'h a desire to extend his powers by unwar-' ?ntble implication and forced construction, V he were to maintain that thev were.' under focb dissimilar provisions, equal to the pow ,p of the former. ' It can scarcely be doubt j ' tlaJ 0 tlie frequent reyiaion of the tacs of the two Houses, those which relate "J. to the same subject have been carefully com- ! ""5 it may, ttiererore, oe very saleiy sierrei, that the striking variation in. tU preiM(w of lb t eorrapMdjff nil i urtlioa, aa ot witbtntt ojrct. .TUc iLrTrrenc f the relatioa of the V'tc Pre mie nt sjmI tho Speaker, to toe rrpottv bodies over wnxb Ihey Ptratde, s the rea son, no doubt, of this difference io the mtra. The Vfc Preotdent keMmg h'ra office b irii of the popuW choice, and not bv the choice of too bud over wbxk be prr-jiW, tt would seew to ht proper that he should not be cloth d with the delicate and ibtkU oua power of pronouncing a Krnatnr Mil of order for wont spoken," until aome mem ber of the body abouU deem it proper to oil him to order. But your correspondent seems to ipnoe that the practice of the Vice President has been inconsistent with the pr'ncipie of his decision; and he adduces, as a proof of it, the fact that the Vice Preudent railed Mr. Dickerson to order for comotencioi; a de bate upon a Question that did not admit of ant trw at lt. Thone powers of dis crimination mut be exceedingly feeble that are incapable of perceiving uie difference, the manifea and striking difference, between this question and a question affecting the U LUule or ftertlm of debate. A question of the Utter desert tic, ne'efcaanly presuppo ses that it is in order to debate the subject. Kuthing can be more clear, than that the pow er of the Vice President to call a member to order, who attempts to debate a question that is not debatable, is perfectly consistent with his decision, that be cannot call a mem ber to order, by restraining the latitnJr or freedom of debate. In the one case, he de cides that n member can speak, and ntthinr can be said; in the other, he would have to decide that A particular member is out of order, for Kpeaking particular ivorili. The former decision all eels ttie rtffht of debate, and ope rates upon ull the Sei'ators; the latter would affect the freedtm of debate, and operate upon a particular tnemher, upon tne ground ex presslv, thai he had transgressed the rules which put limits lo the latitude of discussion. If we consult the usaifeof the English Parlia ment, we sliall ptrci ive additional reasons for believing that the Vice President hastake'n a correct view of his powers. In the House of Lords, the presiding officer, the Lord Chan cellor, stands in the same irrespons ble rela tion to tlie bod over which he pres'dt-s, tha' the Vice President does to the Senate; and, accordingly ve find that he never has as sumed the pow er of calling to older for words spoki n. This power belongs to the body of i lie Lords themselves; and Mr Randolph s as sertion, that there is no instanc e in the history their proceedings, in which the Loul Chancellor has exercised the power in ques tion, stands uncontradicted, and, I believe, is undeniable. Neither does the practice ot the House of Commons warrant the idea, that e high power oi restraining the freedom of debate, belongs, of course, to the presiding officer, in thr extent in which it is eiaimed for the Vice President. The usage of that House, on h s point, cannot be. questioned, tt is laid down in Jefferson's manual, page 56, that disorderly words are not to be no- ticed till the member has finished his speech: then the person objecting to them, and 'esi- ruiR them to be taken down bv the Clerk a' the table, must repent them " The member may justity or explain his words, or he may apologize; but, in either case, " the sense of the House is taken," and not the opinion of tlie speakers. Ilut, atter all, the power of the ice Presi-. dent must depend upon the rules and usages of the Senate " Patrick Henry" acknowl edges that the power in question is not con ferred by the rules of the Senate; and it may be confidently affirmed, that it is not san tion- ed by the i:safre of that body. The oldest o abaUia froaj yjlf Visa to order. If,bov ever, it kbouM bcrraftet appear to the senate hot tt Vie rroaMUa ourfet to b clotted rib the power to wmiuni, the ca at a- y moment confer il by ttpnm rule; audit ia taauredly better, usKtettouao orcaiostancea, 'hat a pubCc officer (tvmUl construe hi own oower stnctly, so a to have them eftbfgod if nrcesaxrv. than to assume doubtlul powers particularly when jSoao power are Invidi oua in their nWT, anj peculiarly Bable to be abused. ' I shall pass over the charge of Ambition, hich is, on this occasion, gratuitoody and wantonly urgedgant the Vice President, a nothing can be more sfnkinrly ridicakmOhaa to found such a charre, upon the tact of bis gtvmg a rigid construction to toe charter n hi own powers. Tnoae who straro power, and not those who abstain front the improper aamimpli.-vi of it, are the persons who are just ly obnoxious to toe charge of ambition. OXSLOVT, Mr. Ctlhnun. This is a gentleman of whom we are not advocate at a po litician. Ilut he ia a man to whose n gid and indefaiiable exertions in the must trying eriiKi of our country the JnaiH iati not your double laced ones wWi profas to belong to neither, to either, ur both parties, .as interest may dictate but those of the Jefferson stamp re much indebted. Of lale, he has become the target for the -hot nf the vilest presses of Ihe country. His political c6nduct is a fair subject when that alone is discussed: but tlie matter does nut end here his private character and actions are Fhame fully stigmatized; epithets are lavished upon him which are remarkable only for their brutality, while they do not find even a palliative by the least par ticle of wit or ingenuity This course is pursued towards nun not as a public officer but a a private individual. tits conduct is not canvassed as the vice president ot the United States but he is raiU-d at as if a malefactor who stood convicted of treason or mur der. Hut, we repeat, we mean not to become the champion ot Mr, C alhoun We retW to the matter because it is so discreditable to the nation. It can however, add no disgrace to those who are guilty ol it. ihey who can pu their li.imls into tilth, are willing to soi the fairest subjects. Hut it is worthy ot noticing fromAvhence come these at tacks.
