working of patronage, and discover the
reason why so miny stand ready, in any
country, and in all srjes. to flock to the
standard of power, wheresoever and by
whomsoever it may be raised. The
number of ofSee-holJers is spoken of as
large and still rspidly increasing, and th
report proceeds: "Kaeh person employ

Mr. Bond said he Imped the House
would pardon him for reading from this
report there passages, which so happily
illustrate the grow ih and pow cr of patron
age. They were refer. ed to for the
purpose of sustaining the allegation w hicb
he bad made, that the present dominant
party prnfessed to entertain serious fears
for the perpetuity or security of our
institutions and librrtv, if this public
patronage was not checked or restrained
of the New York custom-houe were
allowrd among them upward of $23,000!
And the Collector at Philadelphia during
the same year, received, beyond Ii
salary, upwards of $3,003; the same
officer in Boston upwards of $2 300; and
many others, very conai-Jerable sums.
which I will not lake time to spertfy.
We thus realize the inordinate and
dangerous increase in this branch of
patronage foretold by the report. What
hat been done to limit and restrain thi
that purpose! Sir, it has had quiet repone.
and has never been heard of since the
success of " the patty." I be moment
power was obtained, the admission made
in the report, that the Senate had control
over appointments, is denied in prartiee:
sn l the right asserted by the committee.
to call on the President for his reanonp
in case of a removal from office, is now
seofJVd al and contemned by Mr. Benton,
Mr. Van Boten. and the whole pcrty who
made or approved Uiat report! . Mr. Van
Buren was one of ihe committee by whom
that report was made; and yet he and hi
party openly violate and disregard every
principle it urged! II now holds the
power" over the support" of these
trained bands of office-holders al New
York and throughout the country. , lie

spirit will animate their actions in all
