taie seaaioo, conveying inairacuun to ;
oar oenaion on various questions
which are agitating the country, em
brace principles on a correct under
standing of which depend the, prosper

cannot ffattrr myself with the belief
that any 'hew light can bs sdded to the
already blaze of argument which has
been elicited by the discussion of these
subjects from some ot the first Intel
lects of the nation," But how tier fa
tiguing it may be it is never ' unprof
itable to recur to fundamental princi
ples. Indeed it is enjoined by the
very nature of oar institutions arid let
none calculate on evading the respon
sibility which a disregard of this in
junction places them under; both to
their ancestors and to posterity. The
transactions of the last ten years should
be kept constantly before your minds.
You bltould be dail, yea, hourlj re
minded of the astounding; doctrines
which have Wen advanced by those in
power the tendency they nave to in
crease Executive influence and patron
age: to steal from the States their legiti
mate poweraiand to excite amongst tlte
people a deep prejudice against all the
means dlid avenues to wealth,- virtue
and intelligence which will ultimate
ly root up the very foundations of so
ciety, and introduce thai spirit of dis

palpable violation of the plain let

ol the past administration. It wtil Be

too suusiauai stun io uecpme nis

roues ol office, and placed them on an
other, wbojjoon found that the highest
virtue tav in a wining compliance with
the will and wishes of Jus master.
Mr. Tanevj on the 1st of October.
1833, removed the Deposits under
whose direction, and for whose gratifi
cation, can be easily discovered from
the paper read by the President to bis
cabinet on the 18th of September pre
vious. This document declares ex
pressly "that thit meaiwe i the Pre
enf's. fAflf hi attumecf the resoontu

ber is named ar rim as a proper time
for its execution." Under a belief
that the President had traacended his
legal and constitutional powers, the
Senate, after a long discussion itassed.
on the asbttn or May, 1834, a resolution
declaratory of that belief. It is use
less to enter into the arguments which
were urged in uelelice ot the charges

be giving hitn the power to attack, and

the people. Under the principles a-
rowed by the President in his cabinet
paper, and under the process then us
ed to abduct the Deposits from the
Bank, the public money was under the
direct control of (he Executive; and the
interposition of the Sect etaijr, who

the Preaidt-nt in the appointment ufTic'iled. liy the 3d paragraph of the
Qllicers, and is so far Lxecutive: aadi
it possesses at the same time, all the
ordinary powers of legislative bodiert.
The Senate did nothing more in pass
ing the Uesolution ot the 28th ol May
than the Legislatures ol this State arid
alt the States have done from the first
foundation of the Government. Has
the right of the Legislature, to express
Ian opinion as to the conduct of one of
the oJlicers or the Uovernmcnt ever
been denied? If we desire precedents
for this right, they can be found in the
history of all legislative bodies in thai
of the British Parliament, of the State
Legislatures, and of the Senate itself.
I he Panama Mission attorus a rase
strikingly in point. Governor Branch
introduced a Resolution in the. Senate
of the United States, denying the Pre
sident certain powers which he bad
claimed and exercised, and declaring
"that leit a eilent acquiescence in lueh
doetrinet, on the part of the Senate,
thould be drawn into precedent, there-
fort retolved that the.Pfeiidetit polst'ni-
et no auen power or right to dunned by
him." No one thought -sw denying to
OlUlton. 11 Wll luiltcucu ut an. in
what material t e?pect, then, . doevthi
retolution differ from that' of the 38th
ot May, 1834? By it certain powers
are denied to the President, which he
had exercised, thereby implying that he
had transcended those which had been
granted him. That of the 28th nf May
did nothing more. It impeached no
motive and sought not to criminate the
intention of the Executive.
But I place the right of the Senate
to pass such a. resolution oo higher
grounds far above, and independent
of all precedent. It Is right inherent
in, and appertaining to every legisla
tive body a right of self defence, which
is necessary for its very existence.
The legislative branch of every Gov
ernment is guaranteed certain privi
leges. Of what avail are these privi
leges without the power to protect them?
Are they not nugatory without it? The
Constitution declares that "all legisla
tion shall be vested in a Congress of
thtt United States." Suppose the Pre
sident denies this, and claims for him
self a part of the legislative power be
longing to Congress, must the Senate
antr f loose sit mote ntf tremWing-.-de-'
prtvetl of the rtghr even to protest a-
gainsi sucn a ciaimr . r.acii iiouse
shall have the right to judge of the
qualification of its own members," says
the Constitution. Should the. Execu
tive attempt to deprive them of this
right, must they say nothing? Can the
not even1 announce to' the people that
he is attempting to usurp power?
Should the House of Representatives
become the servile tool of the Execu
tive,, what protection will be jeft.the Se
nate? They would refase to impeach,
and tn Senate, according to the" doc
trine contended for, would have to re
main motionless cowardly motionless,
and see itself stripped of it powers one
after another, . until it . ouid become
the very scoff of the nation. But the
doctrine leads to 'yet mors dangerous
and threatening consequences. ' It has
been the desire Of tlte friends of con
stitutional libert ". in all ages and coun
tries, to inspire the representative with
vigilance. They have endeavored to
frame legislative bodies with ' powers
sailed. to wis endTTHWhat, tlien, 'ihayitniianpiused Iwth'ltfltfMli'ircaTnnot-
be the result of depriving the Seriate
and House of the tirivilege to warn :t he
people tin Die approach nf danger?
The Constitution guarantees to each
State, a republican form of Government,
Senators are the direct delegates of the
States. , Should the .President tinder
the influence of a daring ambition at
tempt to wrest front the States this sa
cred right, must tht Senate remain si
lent? or, would it not be. their duty to
'call on the people'trumpet tongued,"
to com to heir rescue? ,
. What was the conduct of the Brit
ish Parliament when James the (2nd
claimed the exorbitant privilege of dis
pensation, by which Cathbhcs were
absol ved Irom the test oath required by
law to be taken' . ritey boldly: and
anTiinresisted tlus claim on, the
tlteir legialativt functions. It was this

enable us to u nderstand the meaning of
this rvquinition, it is proper. In recur Io
the object of the frainers of the Con

ed under the successive legislation of
Congress, are dependent on, and sub
ject to, the caprice of any party, how
ever corrupt, which may be able to gain
the ascendency. By what, except the
journals, are you to know that the re-
noiremcnte ol (he Constitution nave
been com
plied with in that legislation
privileges are granted ' and
br which
rights secured? The Constitution says
. -II i n 1..
mat an revenue om snail originate m
the House of representatives. A bill
nf this deerription, originating in the
Senate, though it KhouTd receive the
sanction of the Presidential! would ad
mit to be null and void. ' How Is (his
to be ascertained but by the journal?
Permit, then, the Journaito be expung
ed at the will of any 'party and you
give the power to defeat, at pleasure,
any act, however important, by de
stroying the evidence of its having con
stitutionally pissed Congress: ami yuu
also break down the veto power, by en
abling either. House to repeal a law, by

expuuge the right to ' trfterj' follows of
necessity. We all know that in many
instances Jhe erasure . of ;a few words
in a paragraph may not only destroy its
meaning, but alter it to the reverse of
what was first intended. How dan
gerous would such a doctrine be in the
hands of a party bent on Innovation!
Take another illustration.; The Senate
has the sole power to tiy impeachments.

is to prevent hi Being' a'ga1'ariuf'ifpiiil
his trial, and his character" jeopardised
if this right to expunge be estahlislied
to the extent to. whicli the Administra
tion would carry it? Should he incur
the displeasure of the dominant party
in Congress,' what is to prevent their
drawing black lines across, or erasing
entirely the. verdict of ' acquittal, aud
dragging the unfortunate officer once

Hon of the Executive. , .If the. txrcu-'
tive disapprove, he is to return il to
the House where it originated, with
his objections,' which AiV be entered
at large on the journal. This, khen-
ins recoruiog nis oujecuotia is a ngnt
guaranteed to, the Executive branch,
by the express , words of the ConstUo
tion. Can . any one, contend, that , a
subsequent Senate or House can nitr
late this right by expunging- these ob-
jectiont? And furthers if two thirds
approve the bill on the reconsideration1,
despite the - veto of the President, jt
becomes a law. "But in all such ca
ses,", says the TtTi section of the 1st
article of the Constitution, 'tlie vote
of both Houses shall be determined by
the jeas and' nays, antl the iiamel of
the persons voting for and against the.
bill "shall be entered on the journal,
of each Hause." Can any be so blind
ed by prejudice as to contend that this
express command of the Constitution
can be evaded made null and void by
expunging the names from the record?
Again: .The Constitution iiji 'lho
yeas and oavs of the members of ei.
iher House, on any question, shall at,
the desire of one filth of those present
be entered on. the journal. Mere
then is an expressly granted privilege,
to the. one fifth to have their voles is
corded. It is a right valuable per
sonal right- Can the majority of that,
or any subsequent Senate, have tlie&o

liut let us again recur, to the wojas
of the Constitution. " "Each House
shall keep a journal," &c.' What could
our ancestors have meant Dy the ex
pression 'shull keep?" They were .
certainly gotnl authographists, and un- -df
