I'itKSiUKNT Although 1 could not, with my convictions ol what belonged to myself as an Ameri. can Senator, and to the friends with whom I usually act here, acci pt the offer to proceed in this debate as matter ol luvor, still 1 appreciate the kind f-eliiigs ot the Senator I rem North Carolina to. wards me personally, and thank him for waiving his motion to lie upon tlie table, and tlius leaving lis to exercise the poor privilege of discussing this interesting subject during the mo mi it" hour. Alter the lull and satisfactory exposition yesterday and the day before by the Senator from Illinois, Mi I should, probnbly, have relinquished the design of taking a part in the debate, especially in stage ol it, but for a paragraph which I ii the National lntciiivcucer yesterday morning, in the following words: "The Opposition papers roiitiimally accuse the- of vio latins their now thai hivr into ami Vet these wrv same Inmlly protected a yenr ami that the Iiatl ii" piim hut ina.le im were lur their ratuhil ties 'without a why or where The of stoiit? inii-t rely up.iii the credulity, very litilc iipnn the mem iry, of their rtaib-is." t'raridfHK Journal. Now, Sir, we will see who have relied upon the of the people, and who are still persevering their attempts to impose on that rmlnlitu While removals are taking place with unparalleled rapidity, the names of the men removed, and of those appointed, are not chronicled, from week to week, in the Government paper, as was the case during the late Administration but articles like this are circulated far and near, calculated to fix lhe impression attempted to i lie made upon the public mmd pending the lale Presidential election, that our arguments were fallacious professions assertions baseless.

What accusations did we bring aeainst you? What did wo claim for ourselves? I answer, for one, Sir I declared publicly, every where, when 1 had occasion to address my countrymen, in small or assemblies, that you had but one common groundopposition to the then Administration that your arnn of leaders, frem the captains twenties upwards, who cheered on in your unprecedented displays and your boisterous movements, were animated by one common to the Democratic party and Democratic principles, coupled with am'ntion for place and expectation of preferment that you bad no common platform of leading measures of national importance, and involving the great national interests, which you third to present to the American people either in addresses or resolutions from the conventions at Hnrrisburgor which you couhl present, without at once breaking up and distracting the lief rogeneous materials of which your party was composed. So far iV'-m saving that you "made no professions," we declared that you had litem prepared, by concer' and arrangement, of every complexion and hue, fall! sorts and descriptions, suited lor every meridian? ssser-' tiens and jiroftssiotiif designed to reach the passions and the prejudices of every neighborhood v.hvre they' were to lie promulgated. It was with yon, we asserted, a contest in which irre.it principles were kept studious- ly iu the back ground; while policy.r xpedienry, ml raph: mi inn arguments, were doing their work in each Stale, according to the p. culiar interests and opinions of its people. There were, it is true, some assertions and professions sui'-d to all portions of tho country, and resorted to on occasions.

Among them, the standing urmv charge that we desired to reduce the wages of the honest laborer, and reduce the laborer him-: self to the condition of the serfs of the Administration id already, by its improvidence, its extra vaganee, isr.d i's protJijicy, run I lie nation in debt more than thirty millions of dollars. 1 listened to my ho. norable colleague with unfeigned pleasure, when he wrung from the Administrate the other day the unwilling admission tint th'S last of all harped upon during that canvass? was baseless, a mere "phantom of the imagination." While meeting these; assaults and professions beli.ru the people, we bore a loft, wherever we went, the Constitution, the Resolutions of and the received opinions of the fathers of Democracy, as applicable to the great questions which we knew must, agitate, and which are now agitating Congress and the country. We were wofully, fearfully beaten, but we were not routed; we stood upon the, field at the close of the conflict, with three hundred' thousand more Democratic legal voters than had ever before, in any single election, the right of freemen at the polls. Routed! No, fcjir; nor disheartened.

We are now here, upon this elevated ground, as the representatives of eleven hundred thousand i tellijrent, to renew the contest upon those great issues which we strove, but strove vam, to bring distinctly before the people their upon the determination of which we in our hearts believe rest the liberties of this country. The subject of the resolution of the Senator Irom Pennsylvania JluehananJ had no slight influence that content, and 1 thank the Senator from South Carolina for his interposition l.et the debate go on, lie says; let it have its fullest latitude: and, as 1 understood him, l.e and his friends will undertake to show that they have not departed from, the principles which they have avowed in relation to! removals from office. Sir, they shall receive no injustice at my hands. shall "be so unfortunate as Id err in any matter of (act or deduction, while I shall reirret the error, it will ufl'ord me pleasure to wive the prompt correction. I trust, Mr.

President, that we shall not be denied the information sought by the resolution, and that it may not be embarrassed by another rail that must inevitably occupy much time at the Departments, and can lie of 110 possible weight, so far as the professions ofthis Administration and its practice are concerned. The information will be interesting and useful, not here, but to the whole country: and, unless state-1 merits made to me upon high authority are singularly i incorrect, I shall be able, with the contemplated report before to impart some additional information that can hardly fail to be of interest, particularly to the Senator from North Carolina, (Mr. mation connecting itself with rights and interests i dear to bis and at the same time v. itlij the action of the Executive here, particularly with I one of the Departments. I deal in no mysteries, and will state the nature of the information to which 1 allude.

In the State which I have the honor in part to represent, there are, as appears by the returns ol the late election, about twelve hundred Abolition voters, in a poll of between fifty and sixty thousand and yet, small and inconsiderable as that party is in I point of numbers, they are so peculiarly the favorites of this Administration, that when removals have oc-1 curred, the vacated places have been filled by zealous 'and prominent members of that faction. What is' jtno.it remarkable, Democrats alone have not been re-j moved to give place to them. I give an place and ti.e view that if I have been led into error, and do injustice to the Department, 1 maybe readily corrected. At Have rltill, one of the most considerable towns in that Slate, illiatn Par- stow, a worthy and competent officer, and a consistent friend of the late President, of long standing, has' been displaced as deputy postmaster, and Timothy K. i Blaisdell, a conspicuous Abolitionist, and active in the i capacity of secretary of the Abolition Society for GrafI ton county, in fomenting and stirring up agitation toj excite prejudice and hostility against the institutions and people of the South, has been appointed in his place.

I refer to this as an individual instance. When we shall be furnished with the list called for, 1 will point gentlemen to other and more important cases, illustrative of the feelings of the appointing poicer toward this faction in New England. 1 will show that those men who have labored, in and out of season, Inj all means, to pill down Mr. Van Btiren's administration, i especially on the ground that he declared in advance, in Ins inaugural address, that he would veto any bill, the object of which should be to abolish slavery in this Dis- trict, are the especial favorites of the power to which has been committed, to a great extent, the destinies of this; nation. I ill show that while the party with which it is, mv pride and plea-sure to be associated in N.

Hampshire, I has, without a division, with united energy, with one voice, and with one heart, in their individual capacity as citizens, and through their representatives in the General Court assembled, declared in the strongest terms in favor of putting dow this politico religious fanaticism, and against any interference with those rights secured to our Southern brethren by that instrument which 1 trust is destined to outlive, and outlive unimpaired and unshaken, all factions in one end of the Union or the been removed from positions of responsibility and trust, the faction of which I have spoken have been freely rewarded with publ.c confidence and emoluments, and thus have been held out to tliein not only encouragement, but urgent stimulants to persevere in their incendiary measures. I cannot believe that my Southern friends on the other side are as yet aware of this. 1 impute to them no fault, except, jer- want ot vigilance. As yet, 1 impute to the President no other Maine Ins eye cannot penetrate i where his judgment cannot be expected to act 1 every case lie must, in the nature of things, dei pend, to a great extent, upon his constitutional advij and he lias invited to their acts, so far as remo; vaisAnd appointments are concerned, our strictest scru: iJut let this pass for the preseut. It is a subject now nnd hereafter, shall be left to the disI position of Southern gentlemen, so far as 1 am conI ccrurd.

If they thrnk it proper and expedient, from 1 politicil considerations, or to carry out any pledges, be thus added to the llame, which we have i sincerely, earnestly, and, in a spirit of disinterestedj and patriotism, exerted ourselves to stiile, and, if ssible, to certainly for one, "it not stand in their way. hat I say is, it they will, in the blindness of party zeal, sow the seed, they must expect to reap the fruiU There has been much discussion within the last few years in relation to prohibiting the circulation of incendiary Abo' ii'inn documents through the United Slates. Now, -Sir, let me say this to Southern liiey commit the care and keeping of that mail, through Kxecut've patronage, to the most active and efficient partisans in the Abolition movement, the nation will judge of their sincerity. The Democracy of the North will judge how far it becomes tliein to make exertions and sacrifices in resisting the advancement of a cause, which you ore, through the instruments of your own creation, patronising and promoting. One word word of warning! (Jrcat elements are at work upon this fearful question; not in the non-slaveholding States alone, or chiefly.

The present apparent repose will prove illusory. There is ivlow the surface, which attracts the notice of the superficial observer a deep, profound movement, receiving its strongest impulse from the other side of the oeean, winch is, I fear, destined in Mime future struggle to operate frightfully upon the Southern division of tins continent, and perhaps shake the I'nion to its centre. Who that has turned even a careiei-s glance upon the action of the liritish empire within the last tin years can doubt it- Who so stupid as to have noticed the military perations of that thoi rough organization of large bodies of black troops in Canada and the West Indies under white commanders i perceiving the natural, if not inevitable, reI suits that will grow out of a change in the attitude of 1 the two nations, which at this moment, there is too much reason to apprehend? Other points there are, connected with this subject of removals, interesting to the whole a 1 confiding people, who were induced to anticipate what iiln-v will not became, I deplore to say, I the dupes, the too willing dupes of professions, in some i instances, never dtsigncil to be operative beyond the occasion on which they were uttered; protestations I and professions of no resent origin, but deliberately put forth tin vears ago, in tiie form of solemn resolutions, 'denying the poiccr ol the Executive; and, so far as man Cou'd judge, their truth and soundness seemed to have gained strength in the minds of their authors bv subsequent calm observation and reliction. Let it be observed that this has not been, in the minds of the prominent leaders of the present a mere question of policy and expediency, on which opinions might change with a change ol circumstances, but a question retting upon the immutable bi'sis oi constitutional rght. Mr.

President, when the hour for the standing ordc. arrived yesterday, 1 was about to proceed with reference to the journal of this body, and speeches delivered upon this lioor and elsewhere, to show what were the opinions of the leading supporters ol the present Administration in relation to the constitutional power of the Executive to remove from otlice, and also in relation to the policy and expediency ol the exercise ol such power, even if it were admitted to exist. 1 he remarks which have been made on the otii. especially the declarations of the Senators from N. and S.

Carolina, Manguin and Mr. ought, perhaps to induce me to lake all these principles and opinions i their party cs fully admitted at 1'ns time. The former gentleman said that he and his trie nils would be prepared to show that no officer had been removed, "unless he was incompetent, unfaithful, or a political brawler." The latter, that they had not deputed from the principles they had professed. Now, Sir, 1 take issue with the gentlemen upon this point, and assert, as a fact, which i pledge myseil to prove to tho country, if they will give us the open doors, (which 1 have no "doubt they will,) that they have removed men competent, JuithJal, und no IrmrUrs, Slid have supplied their places by the appointment of men who are notoriously bankrupt in all the qualities which should be required in a public officer. 1 do not allude to individual cases now the proper time for that will come and very names ot some of men to whom I could refer are, in consequence of disclosures belore a judicial tribunal ol land, the most expressive terms tor ail that is base and infamous.

This is strong language, Mr. President; not merely justified, but demanded, trom the spirit unshrinking truth and liberty. by tin' tacts and the occasion 1 shall proceed then, Sir, dull and uninteresting as I know these things are here, to read from your jour? nals and speeches, without, perhaps, a single comment. They are known here, and admitted; lut will he riemed, as other (acts equally palpable have been, the country ivher.ee I come. I leave nut the great ma S3 of evidence, and propose to imliody only enough to establish my position.

1 find upon your journals the following resolution, presented to tins body 1 by a man who row occupies the place which ir lor She last four years been filled with distinguished ability by an individual whom it was my good fortune to know slightly hi my bojhood. The resolution was introduced by Mr. Holmes, Senator from is in these words: That the S.f fnj the removal t.n\'rr-. uliicli rrinov.il xva? i fir faithful i tKill uittiJilting the crtuird mlhe rf the Saiutr, iih i- ilihi.i:. tijk lin.fn 1 dp tmk 5fi.ii*>, A.M) Till! OK THE i ion." Will any man say that Joseph Howard was "incompetent, or a political brawler:" at all.

His political opponents cannot fail to believe they will bear willing testimony to his pure, estimable and elevated character, both in public and private life, and vet the man who deliberately declared, by a resolution upon this floor, that such a removal was "against the inli rials of lite people, the rights of the Htntcs, and the, spirit if the Constitution," at this moment occupies his place. But, Sir, proposing 1 do to group together the opinions of this consistent, patriotic party, as they are presented in their resolutions and speeches, 1 must not indulge in remarks winch ill suggest themselves to every reflecting mind. In January, 1 Mr. Ewing, the present aerurr.lt Secretary of the Treasury, submitted the follotving resolutions That the practice of rrmovine public eflirers by the President, lor any other purpose than that of nrriiring a l.iiihlut execution of the laws, is to ilie irit of tiie Constitution Wits never contemplated frauiri- the extension of influence; i- prrjiulu lal to tlie public dangerous to the liherlies of Ihe people.

The principles thus advanced were ably sustained by the mover, and most of the prominent men of his own party, in speeches; by all of them, I believe, in opinion.

In March, Je34, the distinguished Senator from Kentucky introduced the follow ing, with a series of resolutions upon the same subject: "Hnoirrtt, That tl.e Constitution of United Slate- r.et vest in ll.e power I remove hi? officers iiiider the Govcriiini lit of the C. hose ilici I. ive be i ii established by law."

Uut how different from this was this army of forty thousand men, dispersed over whole country, and obeying one common impulse, ready to rally around and cairy into effect th purposes and objects of the Government; and how much more dangerous than that army against which the fears of the people have been directed. And the time would conic when, if it was not soon checked, it would as certainly decide the succession to the Presidential chair, as the I'nclorian hand of ancient Rome decided on the deposition of the imperial crown. He hoped gentlemen would turn their attention to the subject seriously, examine the Constitution carefully, and not retrench themselves behind one solitary precedent." In the s3tne year President Tyler said: "I have argued these questions (of Executive power) without reference to the power of removal.

Upon the nature of that power great differences of opinion have always existed. I find, in No. 47 of the Federalist, p. 437, Alexander Hamilton reasoning upon il as an admitted fact,.
