Mr. Baows® withdrew his resolution, and thereupon Mr. Pickers moved the adoption of the report of the Committee of Organization Mr. Exwin opposed the motion, and ssid he could not support the report if it was adopted. He might acquieroe, but it is subversive of the authority of the people. He contended that Congress was the model of conventions, and hence it was that dele- getes bad been appointed by the people to represent ye Btate at large, and othor delegates to represent Congressional districts in this convention, He ro- ferred to the appointments of distinguished gentlemen to represent the State of Alabama at large, and others to represent Congressional districts.

The discussion was continued by Messrs, Erwen, Bald and Goldthwait, of Ala ; Goede, of Va.; Pickens, of 8. ©.; Colquitt, of Ga., and Brown, of Tenn. When Mr. Brown concluded.

Mr. Watarn subsequently withdrew his call for the ogg question, that an amendment might be pre- sente Mr. Goopx, of Va., moved that the previous mode of voting be ordered. Mr. McRaw seized the occasion to renew his amend- ment, and spoke in explanation. Here the Convention got into confusion, and a num- 3 of gentlemen endeavored to bring order out of chaos.

Louis Compromise meeting, without distine- tion of partics, was held at the eourt house last night. Heary 8. Grie was called to the hair, assisted by ten Vice-Presidents and two Secretaries. On taking the chair, the President stated the object of the meeting in » few very forcible remarks. A committee of ten was appointed te draft resolu. tions. They reperted, in substance, that the people of Bt. Louis, without distinction of party, declared a deep and unwavering devetion to the Union, and will ad- here to it in spite of the efforts of fanatics in the Nerth, or Hotepure in the South. That the West hase large stake in the confederacy, and cannot allow brethren of either section to endanger itsintegrity. That although thore is a difference of opinion as to the merits of the several propositions of the Senate Committee of Thir- teen, they yield their hearty support to the measure as 8 compromise. That, in the opinion of this moeting, if the principles of the compromise are faithfully earried out, the Union of the States will be more firmly cemented, and the peace, harmony, and prosperity of the country can only be presorved by the epirit of magnanimous concession and compromise. They de- ee the factious spirit which has jutions were carried by acclamation, and » motion was adopted that a copy of the proceedings be forwarded to senators and representatives in Con- rod and the ebairman of the committee of thirteen, 0 be by municated to each member.

That the President Cid bold in his hands the appointing power. all would admit, and the removing power was an incident and @ part of the same power. After a reference to the construction of the constitutional provision, in re- lation to the removing power, given by Ma others, and a brief consideration of the practic that construction, and after declaring that he ho- nestly believed the power of appointment and remo- val. placed in the hands of the executive, to be one of the evils of the country, Mr. W. contended, that since it had become a settled practice, and since it had become to be considered a legal construction of the constitution that the President has such power, this power must be exercised by the President foe himself independently as any other power, and with uncon- trolled diseretion, the Senate had no more right to call upon the President to give reasons for the exer- cise of this power, than the Pretident had to eall up- on tno Senate to give reasons why they exercised @ power confided exclusively to them. This resolation could not be defended upon the ground that tl Senate had a right to the information, as @ part of t appointing power. The rerolution was before t fenate in its legislative bon agra) and the House of Representatives might cell for the reasons in each case of removal, just as well as the Senate could pass this resolution. He considered tho resolution an in- vasion ofthe undoubted authority of the President, as well as of the written text of the Constitutio: which requires that no ono department of the govei ment shall interfere with the operations of any oth: In conclusion, Mr. W. felt it his duty to say, that far as he knew, there had been less complaint of improper removals under the present administration, in the part of the country where he lived, than had been made under any former administration, upon its accession to power. “His opinion was that the prose President had in his character nothing intolerant proceriptive. He wished evil to nobody, but had tirm- ness and decision enough, when he saw the line of duty, to follow it. Mr. Brapsury replied, saying that he would press the resolution to @ vote, and urging its necessity fo the sake of the reputation of the thousands of office: who had been removed by the Executive, who had do- cleared that the tests for office should be honesty, capability and industry. fter some further debate between Messrs. Webster and Bradbury— Mr. Det. opposed the resolution, and replied to the speech made a few days since by Mr. Turney, in rela- tion to removals in Tennessee. The resolution was further supported by Mes: Turney. Douglass and Hale,jand opposed by Messrs. and Underwoo Mr. Dawson vindicated, at considerable length, and with much earnest the int honor of the President from viol upon him by Mr. Douglas, in conneetion with the reso- lution. In the course of his remarks. he stated that he had himself made application to the President B remove men against whose private character he wey es aad the answer was, there was no cause for remov: ‘ied with equal warmth, contending Mr. Dovciass that the President had deel prior to his election, 1, honest and com- that be would not remove fait! petent officers, and that he had violated that pledge, and removed hundreds as pure. and honest, and com- ford ashimeself. Thus had the President talsified ie pledge, slandered the offcors removed. ir. Donen, of Lowa, next took the floor, ang the Benate adjourned. ” House of Represontatives.
