The whole people were weary aud desired repose, aud the President had only to act upon the great prin ciple of humanity and progress to have revived a friendly feeling between the sections and to have averted the reign of rings aud wrongs which fastened upon us.

Tn turning over the pages of this document T come to the Senator's defence of the President in the San Domingo matter, T will not stop to ing whether the President was warranted in negotiating the treaty through his Aide-de-Camp or whether the treaty was in itself desirable, That was a question primarily for the Senate and upon which {ts action ahould have been entirely free and untrammelied. Independent and the treaty-making power, It to exercise Its own unfot- ‘ed judument n this freedom is lost you will agree with me that the whole purpose of the Senate's participation is nullified and any furth doliberation upon its part isa barren mocker When, therefore, the. President resorted to the extracrdinary proceeding of appearing at the Capitol and using his personal Influ- ence for the treaty--when it was given out through) Executlve sources that the enjoyment of Influence in the distribution of patronage depended upon a support of the treaty—the President made an attompt alike obtrusive, degrading, and dangerous. I spenk from perronal observation and from a knowl cf of the extraordinary in behalf of the Hl-gotten sche Tell me, my friends, was not the personal effort and Influence employed to secure a ratification of the treaty equivalent to putting a constraint upon the Seu ate? So it is that Senators, justly Jealous of any invasion of the fundamental principles of Gov- ernment, might, even if disposed to favor the treaty, Well resent this glaring Instance of now and Wiwarranted usurpation on the part of the President. Jt will not suffice for my colleague to attempt to palliate this unuqual conduct, or excuse It on the ground of the President's sub feuuent withdrawal from the undertaking, for it Will ho remembered with what pertinacity he Dressod it during the Senate session In the win fer and spring of IO: how Senators opp ing It were punished by the removal of t friends from office, and refusal to give furth political consideration to them, or to heed their suggestions or advice In any matter. Tt will al-o ha remembered that the President returned to the work with fresh vigor at the beginning the next #easion of Congress. Turn to his ann Iesange, Dec. 5. 180, in which he puis forth the retarkable assuinption that the acqulaltion of San Domingo would ald us in paying ov great national debt, and then proceeds to} ture the Senate for the folly of rejecting great aprize.
