The purposes of clothing the President with (he veto power were to guard his own depart- meut agai croachment by any other; to guard the Stat iike influence, and to guard the individua. citizen aleo, In addition to these bar te one of the purposes of the Convention was to eu against inexpedient and ili-considered iegisiation. looking to what bad taken place in the Congress of the Confederacy, and to what had eccurred in the te Governments, (6 m+ tabers of the Gon: von of 1787 were satisfied that it was jrst ae ucces: tor the public weal io protect the coun ry against ipexpe Jient legislation, or aimest af | ecessary as it wae (vo protect lt against uncon titutional lezisiauion, It | ae neretofore beew denind doubted by othe. s. whether the President 1 in using the power @acep. upon cones udien ruadse, ibat Bssin @ Was argued by the leading mem!ers of the juig party, et the head of which stood Mr Clay wheo they Lecame very much tied with the exeicise of tost pewer by the then President of the Lnited States, General Jackson.

They agsert that no descendant of a colored moth- er, whether abe was free or pot, shall be a citizen by virtue of his birth, and yet my friend trom Iliinois in the Congress of the United states, in passing bill, has deciared that tho-e who are born in a# of slavery, and who were nover ci! .cu+ as long as that condition ex\# 6d, who were prey ented fiom Le ing citizens by the Conestiiution ou ibe Beate in which they reade, which hos never been changed, actuwent, be couside eu se eit! taies, aud \hereture, citizens for all purposes.
