Atkinson, with a knowledge that he would not accept, did not produce a va cancy, and that, in deciding on the legality cf crl. Gadsden's appointment, this ar rangement of general Atkinson must be left rut of view. The 6th section of "the act of Jbe 2d.March, 1821, is in the follow ing vords: "That there shall be one ad jutant general and two inspectors general, nith the rank, pay, and emoluments, of ci lr eels of cavalry." Before the passage cf the act thtre was one adjntant and in-, - specter get eral, two inspectors general, and two adjutants general. The object At the act was reductiov" and, wih thlt Tie, th office of adjutant and h spector gmrral was dispensed 'with ; and, also, that cf one adjutant general, and the two off ces of inspectir general, and one of ad jutant general, retained. - This section caving retained the two officers r f inspec trrgti eral, and the 11th section, before cktd, having retained the incumbents, it was net supposed by any cne that either or both cf them could be dischareed'as iKficrmimeraries. under the crovisions of the act. By referring to the general order . cf Way 17th, 1821, it will be seen that those ho nere charged with the reduc tion of the army were of this opinion.. The law left these officers where it frund them, and the general order announced that they retrained In the offices they before held. But a vry different .construction as given to that part of the same section which relates to the adjutant general. i nere were two adjutants generaHn ser vice, colonels Butler and Jones, and the con.mittee insist,.bj-affair const! uction of the act, one of them, was "retained" and the President was authoriseel only to elect which of the two should.be "discnarg ft"asa "supernumerary" - S ' - It is contended in .the message that this as an ongtndl vacancy " and -it was competent for the President to discharge hoih Butier and Jones, and, fillMh is office hj ajficmimg any other, pe'rsoW. .A the chjtct of the act was to reduce the army, and net create officers, it is fair to presume' that exckisicn was intended to be applied only whn e there was airoccess, either in tun-ber or organization.;; This, rule was apphed to that part of the same section relating to the inspectors general i As it regards them, there was no excess, and 811 agree that they were retained by the Jw.

Jtis true that in 1815, at jhe close of the'Wr, there were eight adjutants general in ser vice ; and it is equally true, that the law ofvl815 reducing and fixjng the rmyl" disbanded the-whole of them, pot retain in&even one ; but the law of 1821 saj's, tHere shall be one adjutant general." with all the att ributes' of the jtwo' officers of that rank then in service. t 'j- In the. absence of law, therefore. Presi dent Madison, on his responsibility chose "provisionally' 16 add to the army what the law had "omitted, to wit : two adju tants general. This being the case, nei ther of the eight adjutants general had a right to demand of the Executive places of his own temporary creation. The Ex ecutive could 'select any one he chose to act as adjutants general, as he had exer cised the power of creating those offices. Colonel Hayne could not have been'rr tained" as inspector general, because that office was abolished- by law.. For what puipcse, then, can it be said, that colonel Hnyne, inspector at the time, was re- , tained" as adjutant general ? It certainly cannot be tq elucidate the subject., It' is evident, therefore, that the appointment of col. Gadsden is, in no particular, paral lel with the appointment of col.Haynp. The latter avowedly was iii the absence tf all lawron hat subject, and the former professedly in pursuance of law. By tra cing the progress, of the principles, for which the committee nuw contend, thro' the vicissitudes of the" Revolutionary war, , it will be seen that the basis of our rules i jfor tlie govemmen. of the army, was es- ; jtablished as early a the SOth of June, - j 1775; and by these rules sutlers, retain- i ers, and other persons of the armyT (hotl! being soldiers,) were made subject, to the ; articles of war.

On the 3d of October, ,1780, among o thertthings, it was .directed for the regi- fments to-be. raised i the commander in chief, was to direct, the officers of . regi ments to meet and agree, upon 'the officers for tliem from among those who inclined to sesVe ; and, when it could not be done by agreement, it was to be determined by seniority ' ' .A'. '' On the 22d of April,, 1782, it had been found necessary to re'duce the lieutenants of each regiment to ten; and it was provi ded that" the reeluction should be made ftt)mhe supernumerary junior lieuten ants in each regiment . ' On the 7th August, 1782, it became ne cessary further to arrange the army, ac cording to the- resolutions of the Sd and 21st October, 1780, and for th'w purpose it was provided that the junior regiments should be drafted to fill the senior, regi ments, and the commander in chief should direct the officers of the line of each state, to meet and agree .y? ho should command the troops so arranged ; ahd w hen they could net agree,; the junior officers each grade were to retire Under, this resolu tion,! it became doubtful whether a senior officer could retire with honor, if he would; and Jon the 19th November, it was, by a-J uunu;r icswiuuui'i ;iuviuru iliac ine senior ojficrrs q each .grade should, under: the actjof the 7th August, be retained, and that the redundant junior officers hi the several grades should retire ; but thel conunaiider in chief might. permit a senior tovretire. lThe;,comniittee appcalx with yenc ration to thibVtriod of - our military history forhe cbrrectiksSjOf the doctrines thtjf now chteud tor, and cannot but mark the f contrast between theijtinr.tnle then jheld sacrfdand those which were itro- :aucea id ine iaie rtauctioii ci .tne army. ,in tne a stcuonot the2cnirtic 2crrticleof the constitution of the United States, it is pro vided,, tbat the President halp. have power to nil up ail vacancies that may, happen during the. i tces.s; 61 the Senate, by granting commissions which shall ex pire at the enti oi the next session."

"The committee believe this is the fair construction of the constitution, and 'the one heretofore j observed. ,For many Instances hae "'occurred where ioffi ces have bt-Vn created by law, and special j.power was given to the President to fill those offices in the recess of the Senate,; andno instance Has before occurred, within the knowledge of the committee, i where; the President has felt himself au j thprized to fill such vacancies, .without i special authority!, by law. v Hence;, the I committee conclude," from, the President's own-showing, that the appointments of Cols. Towson and Gadsden were not au-thorizjE-d either by the constitution or law. The committee take; great pleasure in admitting the merits, of these gentlemen, but believe that this consideration cannot" fairly enter into the-construction of the law and constitution. .But tliey do not ad- mit tnat tneir claims on the country are I superior to those who have, been putfout ; of their proper places itf the army, in or- der that these gentlemVn might occupy them.

When the committee add tfieir acknovv Iedgment to the assertion of the merits of Coh hcls Towson and Gadsden, it is pro per they should repel the' inference that the rejection of their nominations, by the Senate, evinces a disregard of. their me rits, or an . indinerence to their lust 're- Ward.
