Resolved, That it oe a standing rui
that the doors of the Senate chamber
remain open while the Senate shall
be sitting m a legislative ana juuienu
capacity, except on snch occasions as
in their judgment may require ses
crecy.
These resolutions were postponed
from day to day. When the commit
tee on Gallatin's case reportea io tne
Senate, a member moved "That the
doors of the Senate be opened and
continued open during the discussion
of the contested election of Albert
ollt.in " and it was agreed to. On
thA 191. of Februarv. 1794. the above
series of resolutions were consid
ered and rejected by the Senate, but
on the next day the following reso
htt.irn-i was nnonted:
Resolved, That after the end of the
nrpsent session of Congress, and so
soon as suitable, galleries shall be
provided for the Senate chamber ; the
said galleries shall be permitted to be
opened every morning so long as the
senate snan oe engageu in men ce
ialative capacity, unless in sucn cases
oa mftv m the omnion oi tne senate.
require secrecy, after which the gal
leries shall be closed.
Since that time the galleries of the
Sftnate have, under this resolution,
hAAn thrown onen to the nublic when
the Senate was not considering the
firmation of nresidential appoint-
montci or of nending treaties with
foreign countries. Efforts have been
frequently made to throw the galle
ries open during the discussion of
treaties by the Senate, but this will
never be done, and, in my opinion,
perhaps should not be done.

At tne beginning oi tne arst session
of tfee Third Congress the Senate was
called upon to consider and decide a

Resolved, That the mode adopted
by tbe Senate of publishing their

newspapers, is not adequate to the
purpose of circulating satisfactory
information. While the principles
and designs of the individual mem.
beiM are withheld from public view
responsibility is destroyed, which, on
the publicity of their deliberations,
would be restored ; the constitutional
powers of the Senate become more
important in being more influential
over the other branch of the Legis
lature; abuse of power, maladminis
tration of office more easily detected
and corrected ; jealousies rising in the
public mind from secret legislation,
