IN SI-NATF. OF THE U STATES.
May 4,
Mr. Uknton, from llio Select Committee,
to which wus referred the .proposition to
inquire into the expedu nc.y ot* rudueitig
the patronage of the Executive (iovern-
iiient of the United States made the fol
lowing REPORT:
That.alter mature deliberation, the Oom-
miitee are of opinion that it is expedient to
dimmish or to regulate, by law, the execu
tive palronaguof the Federal liovuriiment,
wliouever the same can bo done consistent
ly with the provisions of the Constitution,
tin 1 without impairing the proper eiFu ion-
( y of the (Joverimieut. Acting Under this
conviction, they have reviewed as carefully
ns time and other engagements would per
mit them to do* tho degree and Hinouut of
patronage now exercised by the Presi
dent, and have arrived at tho conclusion
that tho same may, and ought to be
diminished by law. For this purpose they
herewith present lo the Senate six btJId,
entitled :
1 A ./ill to regulate the publication oftho
l.aws of tho United Stales, and of public
advertisements.
*2. A bill to secure in o.'Iiee tho fuitjifol

Cadet**.
f». A bill to rogulatc ti e Appointment of
Midshipmen.
t». A bill to prevent Military and Naval
O .ieers from being dismissed tho service at
tho pleasure of the President.
Tho Cuinoiitlee do not doubt but tint
there are many other branches of Execu
tive Patronage, in addition to those which

sagacity and patriotism. Nothing could rc-

which were put upon it against the abuse of
power. Dread and jealousy of this abuse

imagine that the jealous foresight of tho

sagacity, could have foreseen, and placed a

of cornbiiijpg minute perfernon with gener

the working of 1
the reason why so many stand ready, i
any country, and in all ages, to flock to th
standard of i*ovvkr wheresoever, and b
w homsoever it may be raited.
The patronage of the Federal Govern
mi nt nt tlm beginning, was founded upon
revenue of two millions of dollars.I It i
now operating upon twenty-two million! ,
aud, within the lifts time of many now liv
ing, must operate upon fifty. Tho whole
revenue must, in a few years, be wholly ap
plicable to Mibj.iets of patronage. At pre
sent, about ntio half, soy ten millions of it
are appiopnate.il to the principal and inter
est oftho public debt, which fiom the na
hire of tlm object, involve s but little pat
ronage. In the course of a few years, this
debt, without great mismanagement, must
bo paid off. A short petiod of peace, aud
a faithful application of the sinking fund,
must speedily accomplish that most desira
ble object. Unless llm revenue be then re
duced, a work as dillieult in repijldi's as in
monarchies, tho patronage of the Federal
Government, groat as it already is, must, in
the lapse of a few years, receive a vast ac
cession of strength. The revenue itself
will bo doubled, and instead of olio half
being apj.li able to objects of patronage, the
whole will take that direction . Thus the
reduction of the public debt, and tlm in-
crease of icvenuo, will multiply in a four
lulil degree tlm number of persons in the
service of tlm Fcdeial Government, the
quantity of public money in their hands,
and the number of objects to which it is
applicable; hut as each person employed
w ill have a circle ofgrentur or less diame
ter, of which Im is tho centre and tlm soul
— a circle composed of friend** and rela
tions, and of indiv iduals omploved by him-
seil on public or on private account—llm
actual increase of federal power and pat
ronage by the duplication of the revenue,
will he, nut in tlm arithmetical ratio, but in
the geometric al progression, ail incicaso al
most beyond tho power of the mind to cal
culate or to comprehend.
'Flic committee think it right to attempt
to give au idea ot the great m-ss of this pow
er of patronage by lelurring to an example
in u single city. They will take the city of
Now York, and a single branuli of ibo fed
eral patronage in ».l» it eity . and to avoid
mistake or oiror, will limit tlmir reference
to a work of unquestionable authority up
on this subject—the “ Win* Pool." .,f the
Ropublie, which corn spends with the k * Uni
Hook" of monarchies, and will read ft or

Those who make tlm President must sup
port him. Their political fate become-
ident fied, and they must stand or fall tos
gellier Right or w rung, they must sup
port hirn ; and if lie is made contrary to
the will of the people, lie must he suppor
ted riot only bv voles and speerlms, but by
arms. A violent aud forced state of tilings
will ensue. Individual combats will take
place ; and th»* combats of individuals will
he the forerunner to general engagements
The array of man against man will be the
ore I tide to *he array of army against army,
and of Slate against Stale. Such is the
law of nature ; and it is equally in vain fir
one set of men to claim an exen ption from
its openition, as it would be for any other
set to suppose that, tinder the same rir-
enmstances. they would not net in the same
manner. The natural remedy for all
vviihin their u”Vi peculiar province, und i.p* j
on thrur own responsibility. ’Flu* repre
sentatives of Georgia had been, and were
placed in a singular and delicate situation.
For one, 1 thought it mv duty to aid in te-
alizing to my state all the advantages which
the second treaty might produce, and nl the
same time to exercise the consistent light
of protesting in her behalf as a sovereign
community, against any implication of a
surrender of tin* benefits she might b® sup
posed to have acquired by the fiist. What
ever those rights, ugainst the implied eon-
cession of which we ask to be permitted to

lation of New York. And so throughout

frontier of the remotest State or Territory,
federal patmnnge will be found, in degree
and force, propotdonate to the population
of the place, and forever augmenting w ith
the increasing power of tlm Government.
Diminution of patronage is not thought ol:
the stale of tho Custom House in Norfolk
is already pregnant proofoftlus. The power
of patronage, unless cheeked by the vigorous
interposition of Congress, must go on inerea-
sing. until Federal iiiSluencp, in many parts,
of this Confederation, w ill predominate in
elections, as completely ns British mflui rice
predominates in the elections of Scotland
and Ireland, in rotten borough towns, nnd
in llm great naval stations of Portsmouth
and Ply mouth In no pnrt of tho practical
operation of the Federal Government, has
the prediction** of ils ablest advof ales been
more completely faF fied than in this sub-
jeet of patronage. Thu numbeis 45 and

the latter It will ho useful to read u few
passages from these numbers Computed
with the actual stote of things, they will
exhibit tho diftiicnro which a few short
years hav e dc\( loped, br tween the theoret

Union; and the thinking mind will be car

The whole of this great power will cen

gland is the “ fountain of honor ;” the Pre
sident of the United Spates is the source of
patronage. lie presides over tin* entire
sv-tontof Federal appointments,jobs, nnd
contracts. He lias “ power” over the
“support' of the individuals who admin
ister the system. He makes and unmakes
them, llu cliuses from tho circle of Ins
friends nnd supporters, and may dismiss
them, and, upon all tho principles of hu
man action, will dismiss them, as ofrwn as
they disappoint his expectations. His spi
rit will animate their actions in all the elec-
lions to Stute and Federal offices. There
may be cxi options, but the truth of a gene
ral rule, is proved by tho exception. The
intended check and control of the Senate,
without new constitutional or statutory pro
visions will cease to operate. Patronage
will penetrate this body, subdue its capacity
of n sistani e, chain it to the ear of power,
and enable the President to rule ns easily,
aud much more securely with, than with
out, the nominal cheek of* ie Senate If

would wish them to be. We must tln-n

Federal Governmeut grav j.rtes to the same

exclude Senators and Representatives from

thority of the Federal Government; arm
(!iis proposition they will not despair of see
ing referred to the consideration nnd deris
ion of the people They believe that every
proposition to amend the Constitution, not
frivolous, or flagrantly had on its face,
should he referred to the people. The peo
ple made the Constitution, arid they cun
amend it. They are the onlv constitutional
triers oftho amendment. They alone have
power to adopt it ; and for CongrcsLlo re

The Committee must then take tilings ns
they are. Not being able to lay the axe to
the root of the tree, they must go to pruning
among the limbs and branches. Not bein'
aide to reform the Constitution in the elec
lion of President, they must goto work up
on his powers, and trim down these by stat
utory enactments, wherever it ran be done
bv law. nnd with a just regard to llm pr**p
er efficiency of the Government. For thi
purpose they have reported the six hill
vvh ch have been enumerated. They d<
not pretend to have exhausted the subject
but only to have seized a few of its promi
nent points. They have only touched, in
font places, the vast and pervading system
of Federal Executive Patronage: the.Prc
— the Post Office—tht Armed Force—and
the Appointing Power. They are few,
compared to the whole number of points
which the system presents, but they
points vital to the liberties of the country
The Press is put foremost, because it is the
moving power of human action : the I
Office is tlie handmaid of the Press: the
Armed Force its executor; and the Ap
pointing Power the directress of the whole
If the Appointing Power was itself an em
anation ui the popular will—if the Presi
dent was himself the officer and tho organ
of the* people—there would be less dang
iu leaving to bis will the sole direction of
all these arbiters of human fate. But things
must be tuken us they are ; statesmen must
ac t for the country they live in, and not fur
the Island of Utopia ; they must act upon
the state of facts m that country, and not
upon the visions of fancy. In the country
for which the Committee act, tho Press,
with some exceptions, the Post Office, the
Armed Force, and tho Appointing Power,
are in the hands of the President, and the
President himsi If is not in tho hands of the
people. The President may, and in tho
current of human affairs, w ill be against the
people ; and, in his hands the arbiters of
human fate must he against them also.—
This will not do. The possibility of it must
he avoided. Tho safety of the people is
tho “supremo law;” and to ensure that
safety, these arbiters of human fate must
change position, and take post on the side
of the people.
From the .Yatinnal Journal.
Mr. Force : I have hud the misfortune to
ho misconceiwod, nnd incorrectly reported,
m a considerable degree, in your paper oi
Thursday last. I can well imagine how the
mistake* originated ; and urn readily dispos
ed to absolve you from blame. The matter
may seem unimportant in itself to tho pub
lic ; but perceiving my remarks to have
been antrsferred from your Journal toNilcs’s
Register, a permanent record of political
c\cuts nnd opinions, 1 have though! it was
my duty, at least to myself, to furnish you
with tho substance of what 1 believe 1 said,
on the question of admiring the Georgia
Protest upon tho Journals of the House.
If Mi.Nii.es pleases to insert thecorrectii n,
also, iu his Register, well ; if not, 1 shall
have failed of realizing tho principal object
which 1 had in view, in troubling you.
Respectfully, &c. G. C
Mr. GARY said, 1 should utter nothing
upon this question, but for the remarks id
the gontlemun from Massachusetts, (Mr.
\VT bstlk,) concerning tho paper oflered
for admittance on the journals. That gen
tleman seemed to consider it as strictly
and technically a protest: directly relating
to, and connected with, tho act appropria
ting money to cat ry into effect the Greek
compact or treaty, lately solemnized at
Washington. Ho had treated it as mere
ly a detail ofrcasnns, by a minority,fot tin ir
votes upon the appropriation bill, aud had,
from the view, inferred his argument u-
gainst the privilege sought : auticpaliiig that
great inconvenience might ensue from the
establishment of such a precedent. Now,
sir, by tins criterion, the paper offered is
certainly not reguluily a protest. 1 voted
uflirmativcly foi the appropriation, and yet
1 have signed what is called ihe protest. In
this course, whu h I have thought it proper
lor me lo take, I can see no nicoiisistencv or
contradiction. If the paper be considered
what I tlunk n is—not the prote>t, assigning
the reasons Ibr negative votes, but a substan
tive declaration by tie representatives of
Georgia, that the Htate waives no lights
which it may have leg.i |\ acquired, by ihe
compact of tho Indian Springs. Their si
lence and acquiescence might be constiued
into a waiver. Against thut conclusion it
was the design of the paper to guard. 1
defy any one to discover a repugnance be
tween a signature lo this protest, and ail
allirmative vote on the passing rf the hill
I repeat, tho paper in question is solely to
represent the conduct and views oftho del
egation, as integral and substantive mem
bers o! a compound body, without anv refer
ence to the votes* n| either of them upon
the bill, with which it is no otherwise con
nected than as tin occurrence of the hill in
the orders of the day lias furnished a tit
mportunity fot us presentation to the
1 supported the appropriation for the now
treaty, without thereby yielding, or inten
ding to ) eilil, any sanction to the course
which had aimed to abrogate the first nnd
» onsummol*', tin- last compact. The l*ri s-
identaud Senate had acted in tii is affitii
Acts xxvi. 24, Congress for a day or two beyond the ^j,i
• the il.iv fixed for adjournment, for tho pur-
1 lie above words were spoken just after J p OS ,» of giving ime for the investigation of
the delivoiy of one <>f the most master
ly speeches that is to bo found upon hu
man record. Never before nor since, had
truth such an effect or eloquence such a
triumph, and yet there were lo be found
those who considered & pronounced it mad
ness. Hound argument and stubborn facts
have ever met with the most varied and tor
tuous opposition—them is no evil which
hypocricy will not employ, and there is no
weapon which fiiUcliood docs not wield —
But of all the shifts peculiar to the insolence
ol detected villany, or the impertinence ol*
a had cause, none displays such an outrage
upon decency, and such u gross violation of
li-most discussion, ns tho one which procee
ded from the mouth of the worse than con
founded Festus. To those who will read
tlie speech of Paul, onn thing must he ob
vious, that il lie was mad, liis hearers v ere
lools. lor they could neither answer imr re
sist the force of his eloquence and ) iclding
to the urgency of faithful conviction, iu
voice pronounced him innocent.
I here is a striking resemblance between
tlm case of Paul and some that liuv
red in modern times The General Gov
ernment, with a fixed und steady purpose of
mind, pursuing the destruction of the
sovereignties, denounces where it cannot
bribe, palters where it cannot debate, flatters
where it cannot conviucp, and in failure
all these arts, it has itsf irc-scoro venal l'ri
ses, to ascribe distraction to the mind it
dare not meet, and madness to the argu
ments it i anno! refute. Wo perceive by the
quotation at the head of this urtiele, that
this is not a new artilice, and by no means
a stratagem entitled to the merit of origin
ality. 'Fiie master of hy pocriies and lin
king of liars used it nearly two thousand
years ago in the person of his ignoble min
ister, the infamous Fustus And we may
continue to look out for its agency iu every
succeeding case, whero reusonataggei9Sopli-
istry, candor scours prejudice, aud holiest
fearless facts oxposo the subtle windings ul
n deceitful purpose When Gov. Troup,
with a boldness to which the time serving
sycophants of Federul power were unac
customed dared to assert tho doctrine that
the Slates hud rights as well us the General
Go\ eminent, behold the Presses in the hire
ol Federal supremacy exclaimed, 44 with a
loud voice, Troup, thou art beside thyself.
W hen in so many words ho told the Pre.-i
dent, us the head of a government seeking
to deprive Ids own State of her land and
slaves, that he must forbear, or the lesson
of tho revolution would again he taught
that tyrants arc answerable for tlmir ''undue
and Pvtouny may bo safely resisted, surely
cried the Aoo/e Fostus of Executive patron
ago, “ much learning doth make thee mad ’
Passing by the case of Governor Troup, an
other illustrious example has occurred in the
case of a distinguished Senator of Congress
the name of Randolph presents itself to

principles and defender of state rights, in

When this c!]uni| ion of democracy, in a
strain that honest) can only foci, and in a
language that duplicity can never under
stand, but which to tlm uncorrupted taste
and pure intelligence of the country, is the
source of unceasing admiration, boldly in
the very teeth of the Presii’. nt and his sup
ple Secretary, laid open limit designs, de

whether the apportionments were actually
