Mr. J'resideiU.—From the ncknowlcdg ed i.npor.uiicf ot tlic subject which is now presented ui tne consideration of the Sen ate—from the fact, that this bill had, at the last sossi nj, gone through the initiatory process which the constitution prescribes, by »uch majorities as were calculated to induce the antic'nation of its final passage, 1 had confidently hoped, lint if it should unexpectedly encounter opp si.ion in tin. stage of its progress, we should at h a d, lute been favored with the reasons on which that opposition was rounded. With a single exception, f>r which I av.iil my self of this occasion t> oiler my persona! acknnwle gments, this very natural txpec tation has hitherto been (lis ippoinletl. Shall we then abstain from discussion? Shall we record a silent, sullen vote upon this great question, so iniimvrly connected with the public happiness ? Snail we reluse to mingle our counsels, for the people’s wrl tare ? A lew short moments will suffice lor the interchange of our opinions, and il the remarks, which l shall have the honor to submit, arc attended with no other bene fit, they will at lea»t, serve to protract the ,>< ri >d, during which it is permitted to us 'ill to hope, mat a principle which we he ve to he so essentia! to the preservation r-. r2.ion.il liberty, may yet find a resting '.ten tlic ark of tbs constitution. . ,- . - —n Wc are engaged, sir, m the performance ?-"e P 0 "*" and ! I,C P erfcc,ion °f a'l which is desirable in auch an instrument, than those under which we are assembled. I wenty four years have passed away, since the epoch of its adoption, and this period has been marked by experiments in the science of government, especially of free government, more interesting than the pt eroding ages of the world had exhibited. s ha!l we close our eyes against the light of experience ? And why then are we entrus ted by the constitution itself with the power td modifying it ? But the objection as sumes a fact, of which we do not admit the existence. Is the proposed amendment a novelty ? Is it an untried experiment ? Is it Iranght wuh the dangers, which are anti cipated ? It finds a place in the constiui ri ms of three fourths of the states which compose this Union. Is it then novel—an experiment, an untried experiment ? The people of those states, arc in the full enjoy- ment of all the blessings oT ra ional liberty. : Can it, then be fraught with the evils, which arc in anticipation, ascribed to it? 1 will proceed, sir, to the discussion of the q icstion involved in the principles of the bill, and three general propositions, with a brief reply to the arguments, which have been urged on the other tilde of the house, will include the remarks, which I propose to submit to the Senate. proposeion.—The vital principle ol the constitution—that without which it could not exist, or could not effect the pur pose of its existence is the distinct and sc parate organization of the three great de partments of which the government is composed. This includes the idea of the independence of the respective depart ments. Second proposition —It is essential to the independence of these several depart ments, that those who exercise the powers ol any one should be absolutely free from all previous control, by cither of the other two, and for this purpose, that the mem bers ol each, should have as little agency as possible in the. appointment of the other tVTO —but stirh freedom from previous con trol, is entirely consistent with an ultimate accountability to those, to whom the con stitution shall have confided the power of judging in cases of official delinquency. i 't.rd proposition.— rhe people possess sufficient virtue, intelligence and discretion to select a Chief Magistrate, and the evils which are apprehended, from confiding to them this power, either exist only in ima gination, or if they exist in fact, arc insepa table from tlic nature of man—?rc levs po sitively injurious than the excessive ac cumulation of power in any one department and will be more than counter balanced by the efficiency and usefulness, which such an hvestin nt of the elective power, will g.ve to the Executive department. I have to solicit the attention ol the .Sen ate, while 1 attempt an exposition of these several propositions. 1 ne only legitimate object of all govern- ment, is the happiness of the governed.— But fr vernment is a complex operation— It includes the idea of the formation, inter prelation and execution of a system of laws, or, m other words, of Legislative, Judicial of >o act of ordinary legislation, in no Iran iicnt exercise of legisUtive power. \Y ire ® government consists in the distribu tion of these powers in such a distribution v»tn.iw: UI legislative power.

I am impelled by a sense of duty, to the expression of my own. It seems to tne, sir, to be an occasion, on which we are cailtd upon by every motive which can have mfi jence upon boom able anti pstri .tic xainUi, to divest uu selves of prejudice, to sact.See every minor consideration, and of determinin^l lnar ' y ORC , dc P 3rtme ™> whether that de c-.i juof a fond s'- i panm< i r ’ 1 be b T one lunctionary, or by 3 many, is the very essence of despotism. mniress of'P* B overn;T,cn ‘ of France, was no less UVnsucha u”icct ?- eSp0llC U: ‘ de , rthc ™ruleofthe National rive a silent roJ il^ZTc W Und but tyrannous career of Napoleon. Of the truth and importance of tnis maxim, we had been feelingly convinced during the period of our colonial vassa age, and when then, to Mscrt the nectwity of the Jixtinti- ness of the Legislative, Execution end Ju diciary departments of government The principle itself meets us at the very portals of ihe constitution. The progress of our enquiry naturally leads us to a considera tion of the means by which it may be pre served, and the transition is easy to the se cond branch of this discussion. The distinctness of these departments, necessarily includes the idea of their res pective independence. Distinctness, and dependence, cannot co exist. The object to be attained, that which the constitution demands, is the free exercise of volition in each of the several departments. Such an exercise of free will, is absolutely incorn- patitde with the idea of dependence. The proposition which would affirm it, would annihilate the distinction between the free man, and the slave. No, sir, the independ ence of the several departments is the pr ictical enforcement of the principle, which requires that they should be separate and distinct. Can hen the individual who is called to preside in the Executive depart ment of the government, be independent of legislative control, while his title to preside there depends upon their will? Is the . ea- turc of a day independent ol his creator ?— Whether we consult the authority of writ ers on political science ; whether wc recur to the experience of our sister states, or limit our views to our own, the same result attends our enquiries. Such an Executive cannot be independent.—The varying na lure of man may furnish an occasional ex ception. Some individual of great and commanding powers, strong in the resour ces of his intelligence, firm in the virtuous integrity of his heart, may assume the port and the attitude of independence: but the general history of a government thus con stituted, is a history of Executive subjuga. tion, to legislative will. Shall we pass to the authority of writers on (i tlilical science ? Shall we commune with the sages and patriots of our country? I recur to the vo’uine to which I have a! ready directed your attention, and I begin with the anthority of Mr. Madison These, sir, are his views on the subject of our eu quiry. Fed. 268 —“It is agreed on all sides, that the powers properly belonging to one of the departments ought not to be directly and completely administered by either of the other departments. It is equally evi dent, that in reference to each other, nei ther ol them ought to possess directly or indirectly, an over-ruling influence in the administration of their respective powers. It will not be denied, that power is of an encroaching nature, and that it ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it.” The testimony of Mr. Jefferson is cen veved to us in language no less omphalic : He is speaking of the constitution of Vir ginia, where me elective power is with the legislature, and shews the consequences of such an investment of it.—Notes oil Virg 195—“All ihe powers of government, Le gislative, Executive and Judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. It will be no alleviation, that these powers will be exercised by a plurality ol hands, and not by a single one One hundred and seven ty three despots, would surely he as oppres sive as one. Let those who doubt it turn t heir eves on the Republic of Venice. As little will it avail us, that they are chosen by ourselves. An elective despotism, was not the government we fought for—but one which should not only be founded off free principles, but in which the powers of go vernment should be so divided, and balanc ed among se veral bodies of magistracy, as South Carolina »ni! Georgia. The consti tutions of the first four were formed in 1776, that of South Carolina, in 1790, our own in 1798. Since that period, during a lapse of twenty-four years, the constitution of no one slate, has withheld from the people their great and unquestionable privilege of electing a Chief Magistrate. Availing themselves of the improvements in politic al science, profiting by the example of o then?, convinced of the danger of accumu- ting power, in one at the expence or the o ther departments, they have given to the Executive, the independence contemplated by the fundamental principles ol the consti union, that which the safety ol the people requires that it should possess. Can there be an argument more convincing? Shall we limit our views? Shall wc res trict the enquiry to our own melancholy experience upon this interesting subject i The Governor of this slate forms under tin constitution a component part of the legis laturc. lie has a qualified veto upon the acts of the Senate and House of Represen talives By the cons'i ution, he is invested also with discieiionary authority to remove certain officers, upon being requested so to do, by the Legislature. Can these powers he exercised independently by a Governor, whose title to office is dependent upon the Legislative will ? One of two consequen ces inevitably results from this dependence He must bow obediently to that will, or he must form through the medium of his friends, a party in the legislature for his own protection. The independence of the Executive is prostrated, o; the legislature is rent, and agitated by factions.

The bill upon your table, lias for its ob ject, to alter and amend the second section »il the atcond article of the constitutiort, by transferring the right of electing the Go vernor from the legislature, to the people. 1 propose to record my vote in favor of the passage of this bill, and w ith the indulgence of the Senate, to state as briefly as may con sist with the importance of thc subject, the reasons which have influenced my judgment in farming this determination. Before, however, vve enter into the gene ral tiiscHMion of this question, we are called upon to repudiate thc objection which is- founded u ; ,on the alleged novelty or the j.ropo->ed amendment. We are solemnly warned of the danger of innovation, in mat ters of such high concernment. YVe are told of the reverence with which we should approach the constitution, and thc proposal to commit to the people, the right to select their C.Iiiei Magistrate, is represented as a meie experiment; dangerous, because un tried, and fraught with evils ol en alarming magnitude. To all which, our reply ts brief, but as we think, satisfactory and con vincing. Innovation may be, but is not ne- cttsanly dangerous; unless wc have alrea d> attained perfection in the an of govern ment. Il political, as well as every other science be yet in a progressive state, the rule which forbids innovation, equally ex Ciudcs improt ement, and rivets upon us the errors of cur forefathers.—The danger of innovation admonishes us to caution. This is at once the legitimate office, and the limit ol its operation. The free gov ernments of the union—what were they, sir, when they were framed, buiinnotalions, on thc system of tyranny which they super- ceded ? Wc reverence the constitution of Gt-or g'la, and are grateful for the blessings, which u secures to us. Are we, therefore, con strained to admit—do our opponents con tend, that it is absolutely faultless? Arc we enjoined, because of this reverence, to ao indiscriminate adoration of ns excellen cies, and of us defects ? Sir, tins consuiu Don was trained under circumstances in finite'y less calculated for the attainment H that “the Legislative, Executive and Judi cial departments of government shall be distinct, and that each department shall be confided to a separate body of magistracy, 0 1* the primary principle of our constitution. It stands at the very threshold of this great charter of our rights It was the pledge mutually given and received, by the assem bled representatives of thc people, before they would enter on the details of the meat duty, with which they were entrusted.— Does the argument need confirmation ? I will call your attention, sir, for a mon to an authority universally accredited these United Slates, to that invaluable commentary on our federal charter, which was the result of the joint labors of Madison r In ll '“ t v, ' lume > “'“1 (p. 261) Mr. Madison, in considering the question w hich we arc investigating, thus emphatically expresses himself, » No po litical tiuth is certainly ol greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightned patrons, than that on which the objcctnm ,s founded (the distinctness of the several departments.) The accumu latum of all power, Legislative, Executive and Judici »ry m the same hands, whether of one, a few.or many, ar.d whether heredi tary, self-appouucd, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition cf iy- ranny J restrained by the others. For this reason, that Conveniion which passed the ordinance of government, laid its foundation on this basis, that the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary departments, should bt seperate and distinct, so that no person should exer cise the powers of more than one of them at the same time. But no barrier ivai provided between these several porters. T he Judiciary and Executive members were felt dependent on thc legislature for their subsistence in office, and some of them for their continuance in it. If therefore, the legislature assvme Executive and Ju- ciciary powers, no opposition is likely fo be made, nor if made, can bc effectual.” moment And he adds—“They have accordingly m many instances, decided rights which should have been left to Judiciary controversy, and the direction of the Executive during the whole time of their session,"is becoming habitual andJamiliar.” Mr. Hamilton has announced to us a similar doctrine in the clear and lucid char acters of his own great mind. Fed. 28J—“In order to lay a due foun- dation for that seperate and distinct exercise ot the different powers of Government, which to a certain extent, is admitted on all hands to be essential to the preservation of liberty, it ]s evident that each department should have a will of its own—and conse quently, should be so constituted as that the members of each should have as little Tl Sha i } adJ t0 lhefor cc of this authority?. 1 ne addition will be found in the reflection, that the maxim lor which we are contend- mg, is embodied either substantially or in express term , in the constitutions of all JUS* Sta , lCa ’ 7 !,ich Cf >">po»e our federal union—Indeed, sir, this princ.pl., , s so clearly scaled—it is so entirely elevated above the mists ol controversy, that I would not occupy your time for the mere purpose of provmg .13 existence. My object is of a more extended character. By displaying ihe a 0 | em n, ty of jt3 enattlnent> tb £ / rdo « with which it is maintained, the emphatic precision with which it is asserted by t,, e political sages of our country, it is my purpose to d.rect the attention ol the Senate no to the mere iact of its existence, but to ihe evidences ol its value, to the necessity • us preservation, to the means by when it m-, be preserved. YVe are authorized agency as possible in the appointment of the others.” Are these authorities of no value ? They arc the testimony of the sages and patriots ol the revolution, of the living and the dead, of men eminent for their wisdom, differing on other and great questions of political science, yet concurring in this. Shall we recur to the experience of our sister states ? The result is announced to us m their constitutional charters. Of the 24 states which compose the Federal Union bve only besides ourselves, have retained this odious feature, which prostrates the Executive at the foot-stool of the legisla- lure, la every one oi the new states, whose constitutions have been formed whh he advantages of experience, the election ot th* Governor is confided to the great bo dy of the people.
