thls jprbciM, ; muat come the officers, except
tbesiudenta' from.. military seminarieß, who,.
Indeed,: hare been actual soldiers almost
from infancy. The result is tbat the French’
army represents tbe French nation. No man

private! noidler; ; no mah, ,hOweyer. humble,

There is no exaggeration in the common
sayiugithat « every drummer in the Grand
Army has the baton of aMarshal ofFrance in
tbe bottom of his knapsack.”. Further, in
the,army of France meet the representatives
ofaUpoliticß and parties;—theyare proudto
semi their nmairy,'whoever may role it for
the time. Military service ia emphatically
the neutral ground npon which all degrees ,of
men msy meet in France.
To ehter the military schools, as students,
thecandidates have to pasS/through severe
examinations., These competitive trials arc
continued daring every yew of pupilage, and
distihctloh ; is bestowed wfiolly according to
merit.: No such thing as favor is allowed—
we do not’see how' it conld be shown, without
.detectlon snd panishmentj. 1 The - best pupils'
'of the'military schools ue made officers. The
studies are- constant; the examinations ate
severe, at eyeiy stage,' but the result is that
France has by far. the.best military officers in
Europe. The army knows this, and relies
upon them srith greatfhith and constancy.
{.Many of; the ablest officers ’ in the French
army haverisen fromthoranks—a process
which is more unlrequent in the American line
titan elsewhere. Occasionally, officers in the.
British! army may be mCt with who have risen
Spam the ranks. In the French army, distin
guished valor; added to intelligence, educa
tion, and/pod conduct, will almost invariably

: Hyll. As wo rupposs lußuy ofouf readers will vieit
it bsfhn it olo»Wf, (noxt Friday,) a brief description.
. or If mey prove interesting:, .<
■ The idea of the picture’was suggested ,to ths
artist by the poem of Bishop Portous on Death :
Does in a murky cave’s recess. s ' {
lathed br Oblivion’s listless stream, and fenced
Uj.Bhelvins roots and intermingled bnrroin
( Ofrcw and oreresa ahade, from ail obtrusion
Of bear noon-tide beam, the Monarob aits
In unsubstantial mejestj.”
:/;lßth# eentreofa cavern, llaath is seated as .the
ehtef magistrate of tlia.iand of shadows. The form
is in shodoyy obsourity. The countenance is
marked by stony coldness and . fnfioxiblilty
Death’s foot rests upon "the manly form of a strong
.■yoiitii, ont down in the'prime of life, showing his
sissy .oyer, the race. ’.The'feet and hhad of the
corpse bang over ait island rock, and touch the
■Waters of Oblivion, indicating the mysteiy that
surround! the origin and end of Life, -
At.,the right! and partially in front of Death,
Plcatnro fs represented by the fignrb of a° tomato,
whose sarparaing.beauiy,renders her ’lh'ftaenee'lr
resistible.. Shsis the ict.of dippingwihe froni,
VyaseV and presenting the intoxicating Cup to a
youth by her side. The incense from. her urn
riSee to obsoure the, face of Ppath. Next to the
youth/and in the train of Pleurarc, arc,tbe figures
Delirium Tremens, and Suicide. In
the back ■ground are ,‘the vsriona ’diseases, appro
priately represented—Consumption, Fever, Apo
pltxy, Ilyppohondrie, Dropsy, end Qont.'
On the extreme .101 l of Death the aUribxites of
War are represented in’ tbe 'form of a tall and
graceful Chief. fnwhoso codntenance ambition and
revenge are deploted, ConSagrati :n, with two
flaming torches, lights his path to dostriioUon.
Dnder his foot he tramples the holplera widow and
orphan, while. behind him falls his bleeding
victim. Following olose 'upon War are the figures
of gaunt Famine and drea4 Pestllenee. y
: Wo' tom now to the bright spot in the painting
On the left of the imperial magistrate'are seen the
figures of Old Age, supported by 'Christian Faith.
A venerable man, who .hex been' righteous in al!
things, is bshdihg under the weight of many years.
The faded purple, the'emblem of worldly power, Is
falling from his shoulders, and he is just ready -to
step from the brink into, the oblivions stream. He
Is not alarmed,, and .sees nothing terrible in the
.presence of Death. . There is a serene and benig
nant expression on the eohntenanoe. His hands
are extended in cordial weloomo to Death, whUe
a heavenly radlanoe surrounds his brow. Faith,
in the form of a virgin daughter, stands over and
supports him.. She Is angelic in form and feaiure,
and while the expression is sad, it is ' exquisitely
beautiful. Her eyes an turned to heaven,- and in
hope and resignation, she may be supposed to ex
claim, “ Thy Will be dona.” '
,!Sobhiii a brief outline of this painting. Itsles
eons for good are calculated to produoe a profound
impression upon the beholder; yet, contrary to all
expectation, the impression is attractive and pleas
ing rather than repnlsive. The almost Universal
expression is “ What a baauUfn) painting!”
A startling anecdote Is related as conmMted with
the exhibition in Albany,' many years rinse. A
member of the Constitutional Convention: visited
it, and as be entered the room and tnrnad to look
at the fearful array of figures, he fainted 1 and fell
dead. It was reported gl the time that the paint
ing produoed thS result, though is reality the man
died from a disease.Of the heart:’
Arrival of the Saratoga.
The United States frigate Saratoga arrived at
this poft, from Vera Orut, on the evening of Fri
day last. This vessel, whioh left Philadelphia some
two years ago, has been' fortunate In th'e fact' that
its Commander, officers, and orew, have been ena

adjust many unpleasant difficulties with foreign
nations. To fiopimahder Thomas Turner, a citiaen

to say . that it comas off to-mofirow evening, at
Walnut-street Theatre—that a‘ great many per

assistance—that, the performances wilt consist of
“ Luoreila Borgia,” (the character of the heroine
sustained by Mrs. Penistan.) and the comedietta of

WAsnumrou, Jane 25,18(H).
. Tho two homes of Congress adjourned, accord- ,
ing to resolution, at twelveb’clook to day, and be
fore'the evening the great hells of legislation will
be silent and deserted! A vast amount of business
was transacted by the Honse, end during the past
three weeks the Senate became unusually indus
trious, Excepting tbefiiilure of the Post Office de
ficiency bill, all tho other-appropriations’were
carried. T he President signed the civil blit with
great reluctance, and waß disposed to veto it, but
In his anxiety to got rid ot a.Congress whioh has
boon a sore thorn In bis side,, he yielded his oh-'
jeotions. The defeat of the homestead bill by the
Executive negative occasions profound dissatis
faction among men of ail parties. Even those who
opposed the measure when it Vts first introduced,
and when It came from the. committee of con
ference, do not hesitate to.stlgdtattse. the reasons
Of the President for .refusing to affix his signature
to this great measure as weak and-feeble—beyond
even tho example that he baa sat to the ecus try.
The President has called the Senato together, to
assemble to-morrow, and wurdlreot its attention
to .several , important treaties, and probably nomi
nate some of his friends to leading diplomatic posi
tions,) , / .number of these are ohxtous to be re
warded. The liamo of the Hon. Warren Winslow
oontinpes to be frobly m,ntiocod in connection with
the Bardinliin 1 mission'. Whether he will accept it,
noir that it is {regarded os in seme sense a reward
for his services on. the Covode Committee, a few
days wlll deteimlne, Alfred Gilmore; of Pennsyl
vania, is also exceedingly anxious to be provided
for. 110 deecryes ths recognition ui tho Adminis
ixatlon, having bun its most faithful adherent in
.att-its transgressions. His last feet, as the'.fitting
substitute of Bigler in the National Convention,
clinched,his claim upon Executive consideration.
. Mr. George McHenry, of Delaware county,
Who figured in the Disunion Convention, would pro
bably not he unwilling to accept one of the nume
rous slices of patronage In tho bestowal of President
Bnchanan; and Mr. Vinoont L. Bradford —who has
made the round of all political parties within the
last ton years; landing, finally, in the arms of the
Seoescionlsts—is so chronic an ofllce-hunter se to
be a standing candidate for anything. It Is
a pity that ho could not be sent to Utah as 01,0
of the judges of that distracted Territory; hut
onr distinguished folipW-eitwen, It. P. Flenniken,
having accepted one of these stations, it will be
impossible to hopor another Pennsylvanian on the
same, bench. Mr. Bradford’s opinions would be so
short, and bis counsel so moderate, that if anybody
aould bring peaoe to the Mormon country, he would
be the man. Mr. bent, the delegate from Potter
county, Pa,—who, though representing a strong
anti-slavery region, voted steadily for Hunter at
Charleston, and went over to the Disunionista on
the first opportunity—should by ail moßns he sont
out pi the country ho is assisting to disintegrate.
■Mr. Swarr, ppslpjaster of Lancaster, wilt rptatn
his office, having done gallant service in assisting
the President to destroy the Democratic party, and
having given aid and counsel to the Secessionists.
Ur. Bnchanan is delighted at the nomination of
the Vice PreoWept fey the Yanoey and Rbett Con
vention. He sees now that the objeat with which
he started—that of annihilating'the Democratic
parly—may he accomplished, and nothing gives
him greater pleasure than to be assisted in this pl
ops pastime by the young and ambltloiU Vico Pro
•ldent. {{eacythile surmises continue to multiply
whether the latter wif) consent to stand the bassid
of the die. Ha is sorely besot by his best friends
to reject the responsibility whioh has Bean imposed
upon him. Of an men on earth, thO Idea of John
0. Breckinridge beading an organization to break
up tho. Union is the most preposterous. All his
antecedents arc on the Bide of moderation. His
family, on both sides, have tor many years regard
ed the insUintion of slavery aaa curse to tho South,
and be himself, prior to his election to Oongress,
wat classed a»o pg the emancipationists of his
State. To sco hip now! upon a rnarc abstraction,
atriktng bands with the ultraists Ojf APSsiitfi Geor
gia, South Carolina, and Mississippi,’!! A rod spec
tacle. These Recollections would lead mo to doubt
his willingness to make tho raoe as the Disunion
candidate, if I did not bnpw that many of his
intimate friends are among the most'violent and
unootapromlslng advocates of the extreme mea
sures of the Disunion party.,
Happily, or unhappily, Mr. Breokiuridge will go
into the Senate of ths jj qjtoil States after tho ex
piration of his term as Vice President, for six
years, as a Senator from Kentucky. Happily if ho
would perform his full duty by rejecting the odious
burien spjight to be packed upon his shoulders by
the Diunnioniats, and ijnbtypliy if he dqoa sot. As
X write, some of those noarejc and dpArest to him
.insist that in his calmer momenta he Wit refuso to
bn used by these men, but I fear tbe war between
himself and Douglas has become so bitter that no
thing likeD>U oau tye anticipated. Should he per

and Everett will piganltb.la Louisiana, Tennefseo,'
Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, hjsrylapd, j

the name of Governor HkeSchbi. V. Johnson',
of Georgia, to the National Committee, which is ;
also here, and which was empowered by the Con

tion was adopted by a number of delegates, who,
at a meeting this evening, unanimously nominated
Governor Johnson in place of Senator Fitzpat

the change. Fitzpatrick acted In very bad faith,
having sent & personal friend over to Italtimoro to

TAB pBBSIDBNT’S 8KOONI? PROTEST MEI?SaQC
AflAjOWp T)fE COPIJDB COMMITTEE. )
Talks Jiotißt of tfttrtitnliftli’ti: i
In my menage to the Homo of Representatives
of tbe 28th March lest, I loiemnly proteeted against
theoreatton of a committee, at the heed of which
was placed my aocneer, for the purpose of investi
gating whether the President bed “ by money,
patronage, or other Improper means, sought- to lu*
fluenoo the action of Oongress, or any committee
thereof, for or against the passage of uny lew Upper,
tainlng to the right! of any State or Territory." I
protested against this because it woe destitute of
toy specification, beoause it referred to no particu
lar aot to enable the President to prepare for his
defence, brnause it deprived him of the constitu
tional guards whtob, In common with every eitisen
of the United States; he possesses for Us protection,
and because it assailed his constitutional independ
ence as a co-ordinate branch of the aovorntsont.
There is en enlightened Jostloe, as well as a
beautiful symmetry, in every pert of tbo Consti
tution. This is consphmously manifested in regard
to impeachments. The House of Representatives
£ assesses “the sole power of impeachment;’ l the
spate “ the sole power to try all impeachments
and the impeachable offences ere t( treason, bri
bery, or other crimes or misdemeanors.”
The preoiioe of tha House front (he earliest times
hail been In accordance with tie own dignity,' the
righto of the accused, and tbe demands of iuslioo.
At tbe commencement of eech judicial Investiga
tion which might lead to an Impeachment, epeolflo
charges were always preferred, tbe scouted had an
opportunity of orors-exemlning the witnesses, and
he was plaoed in foil possession of the precise nature
of the offence wbioh ha had to meet. An impar
tial and elevated standing committee was charged
with this investigation, upon .which.no member
: inspired with tbe undent sense of honor and justloe
wbuld 'havi served, hid h* ever espfasavd an
opinion against the accused. CntH thepnuentoc
eSsioii it was never deemed proper to transform
the accuser bate the judge, and to confer, npon him
the selection of his 9wp gommltiao.
. The Chargee made against me, in yagpe and
- general iertm; Were of iSeb a false and atrocieus
character that I did not entertain a moment’s ap
'prdieneion for the result. They were abhorrent to
ovary principle instilled Into The from my yontb,
and every practice of my life; and I did not he
UeVQ it possible that the man existed who would so
basely perjure himself aa to swear to ihetruth of
any,such accusations. In this convlotlon, 1 am
informed, I have not been mistaken.
;tn my i former protest, thereforo, I truly and em
phatically decUrad that it wm made for no reason
.pwwwl to myself J butbecanae the proeecdings'of
the House were In violation of the rights of the eo
ordinate executive branch of the Government, sub
versive of its constitutional independence, and, if
unresisted, would establish dangerous
and embarrassing to oil mjflt-.ocessors. Notwith
standing all this, If the c(H ittee had not trans
cended authority oord~ed upon it by the
reflation tifrthe -House broad
-and-general as this was f I should have remained
Silent upon the subject. .What I now charge is,
that they have acted as though they possessor un
limited, power, and, wUboajjtipy warrant what
evef- io the-resolution undePVmoh they were ap- j
pointed, b?v©' pursued a course not merely at war i
with'the constitutional rights of the'Executive, :
but tending to degrade the Presidential office it
self to snob a degree as to render it unworthy of
the acceptance of any man of honor or principle.
The resolution of the House, so far as it is ac
cusatory of the President, is confined to an inquiry
whether he bad. used oorropt or improper means
to influence the notion of Congress, or- any of Us
coxamUUei* on legislative measures pending before
them. ; - Nothini£~isore, nothing less. I have not
learned through tbo newspapers, or in any other
mode, that the committee Wo touched the other
accusatory branch of the resolution, charging the
President with a violation of duty in falling to
execute some law or laws. This'branch of
the resolution is, therefore, out of the ques
tion. By what authority, then, have tho oom
.laittca undertaken to investigate the course of
the 'President |u regard to the Convention whieh
framed the Lscompton Constitution? By what
authority bave they undertaken to pry into our
foreign relations for the purpose of assailing
him on aooount of the Instructions.given by the’
Secretary of State to our minister in Mexico rela
tive to the Tehuantepec route,? By what authority
have limy inquired into the causes of removal from
oifleh/ and this from the parties themselves re
moved, with a view to prejudice hisoharaoter, not
withstanding this power of removal belongs ex
clusively to The President pndc? the Constitution,
was ao deoided by the first Congress in tbo year
1780. and has accordingly ever since been exer
cised? There is in the resolution pa pretext of
authority lor' the committee to investigate the
question of the printing of the Post Office blanks;
nor is it to be supposed that tho House. if asked,-
would have granted such an authority, because
this quoatlon had boen previoaslv committed to
two other committees, one in tho Senate, and the
other in tbo Houso. Notwithstanding this absolute
want of power, the committee rushed Into this in
vestigation in advauefi of all other subjects.
The committed proceeded for months, from 22d
March, 1860, to examine ex parte , and without any
notice to myself, into every subject which could
possibly affeot my character. Interested and vin
dictive witnesses were summonod and examined
before them; and the first and only information of
their testimony) which, in almost every inßtanoe, I
received, f&B obtained from the publication of
such portions of it as could Injnriously affect myself,
in the New York journals. It mattered not that
.those statements were, so far as t have learned,
disproved by the most respectable witnesses who
happened to be on the spot. Tbo telegraph
silent respecting these oontradiations. It was a
secret committee in regard to tho testimony in
my defense; but U was public in regard toalltho
testimony which could by possibility reflect on my
oharaoter. The poison was left to produce Us ef
fect npon the public mind, while tho antidotowae
carefully withheld.
In their oxainioationß the committee violated
the most saored and honorable confidences existing
among men. Private correspondence, which a
truly honorable man would never even entertain
a distant thought of divulging, was dragged to
light. Different persons in official and confidential
relations with myself, and with whom it was sup
posed I might have held conversations the revela*
lion of which would do me Injury, were examined.
-EveflNhtmbers of the Senate and members ot my
own Cabinet, both tny constitutional advisers, were
called upon to testify, for the purpose of discover
ing something, if possible, to my discredit.
The distribution of the patronage of tho Govern
ment is by for the most disagreeable duty of the
President. Applicants are so numerous, and tjieir
applications arc pressed with suqh pagorneaa 1 by
their friends both in and out of Congress, that the
f election of one for any desirable office gives effenoe
to many. Disappointed applicants, removed of
ficers, and those who for any cause, real or imagi
nary, had become hostile to the Administration,
presented themselves, or were invited by a sum
mons to appear before tho committee. Theta are
the meet dangerous witnesses., Sven with the best
intentions, they are so influenced by-prejudice
and< disappointment that they almost inevi
tably discolor truth They swear to their owp
version tof private conversations with* t\o Presi
dent without tho possibility of contradiction. Ilia
llptr are sealed, and he is left at their mercy. ||o
cannot, as a co-ordinate branch of tbeGovernraept,
appear before A committee of investigation to con
tradict the oaths of each witnesses. Every coward
knows that he, can employ insulting language
against the-Preridont with impunity, and every
false or prejudiced witness can attempt to swear
away his character before such a committee with
out the fear of contradiction,
Thus* for months, whilst doing my boat at one end
of the avenue to perform my high and responsible
duties to tfee country/has there been a committee
of the House of liepreßenUtivea in session at the
other end of the. avenue spreading a dragnet,
without the shadow of authority from the House,
over the whole Union, to catch any disappointed
mac willing to malign my oharaoter—ana all this
tn secret conclave The Lion's Mouth at'Venice,
into which secret denunciations were dropped, is
atkept lHa&tfatton of the Oovode pommUtee. Tho
Star Chamber, tyrannical and odious salt was, neper
proceeded In snoh a manner. For centuries there
baa been nothing like it in any civilized country,
except the revolutionary tribunal of France in the
dsyaof ItobMptar?*- ■. 1 .
• Noiv, X undertake toetsto, and to prove* that
proceedings of tho committee bo sanc
tion*# bv ihe' House, and become a precedent for
future tfsaep, the balance of the Constitution will
be entirely upset, pod there jrill no longer remain
the and Independent branches of
the Government—legislative, exeeptiye, and ju
dicial. The worst fear? pf the patriots and states
men who framed the Constitution, in regard to tho
usurpations of the legislative on the executive and
judicial brarohes, wjirthan ho realised. In the
language of Mr. Madison, speaking on this very
subject, in the 43th number of the Pedgralisi;
u In a representative where the execu
tive magistracy la carefnlly limited both in the
extent and duration of its power, and where the
legislative power Is exercised by &b assembly which
is inspired by a supposed Influence over the people,
with an Intrepid confidence in Ha own strength;
which is sufficiently numerous to feel ail tho pas
sions which actuate a mnltitudo, yet not so nume
rous as to be iocap&blo of pursuing the objects of
its passions by means which reason prescribes ; it
is against the. eptorprising ambition of this de
partment that the people ought to indulge all their
jealousy and exhaust ail their precautions.’' And
in the esprssSye and pointed language of Mr.
Jefferson, when speaking of the tendency of the
legislative braicn of tho Government to usurp
tho rights of the weaker branches; “The oou
oentraring ihesj in the same hands is precisely
the definition of despotic government. It will be
no alleviation that these powers will be exorcised
by a plurality if bauds, and not by a single one.
One hundred and seventy-three despots would
suroly be as oppressive as one Lot those who
doubt It turn iKelr eye 9 oa the Kenublic of Vculoo
As little will it avail us that they ore chosen by
ourselvcß. An rieotive. despotism was not the
government yio taught for, hut one which should
not only bo foutded on free principles, but In
•whioh the powpraof government should be so di
vided and baiapoed among several bodies of magis
tracy as that no cue could transcend thejr legal
limits without feehg effectually cheeked and con
trolled by tho others.”
Should the proceedings of the Covode Committee
become a proooden", both the letter and spirit of
the Conaluatiqn wil be violated. ftne of the ifarea
massive oolumns m which the whole superstruc
ture rests will bo broken down. Instead of the
Executive being a coordinate, it will bodojne a sub
ordinate branch of the Government. The Presi
dential office will b< dragged into the dust. The
House of EeprescnUtjvee will then have rendered
the Executive almost necessarily subsorvlent to its
wishes instead of iolog independent. How is it
possible that two powers ip the State can be
co-ordioatc and fadependont of eaoh other,
if the one claims and exerotees tho pow
er to reprove and t* ceusure all the oflioia! acta
and all the private ccnvorsations of tho other—and
this upon ex parte testimony before a seoret inquisi
torlalcommittee; in short, to assume a general
censorship over the oher ? The idea is as absurd
.in pubMo as it would io In private life. Should the
President attempt to issert end maintain his own
independence, futareCovode Committees may dra
goon him into submiedon by collecting the hosts of
disappointed office-hmt&ra, removed officers, and
those who desire to lhe upon the public treasury,
whioh must follow in fte wako of every Adminis
tration, and they in secret conclave will swear
away his reputation.
Under such circumstances he mast be a very bold
man should he not surrender at discretion, and
consent tp exercise hi* authority according to the
will of thosd invested this terrific power. The
sovereign people of tbeseveral plates have elected
him to the highest nndmolt honorable office in tho
world. Ho ifl thoir oily direct representative In

made him commsnder-in chief of their army and

power, and Jo that oztmt controls the legislation of

the fall could endore. It would be to subject him
to a reign of terror from whioh the stoutest and pu
rest hoart might shrink. I have passed triumphant*
ly through thin ordeal. My vindication is complete,
fhe committee have reported no resolution looking
to an impeachment against me; no resolution of
censure; not overt a resolution pomtlngoat any
abuses in any of the Executive Departments of
the Government to be corrected by legislation.
This, is the highest commendation whioh could be
bestowed op the heads of these departments. The
Sovereign people of the States will, however, I
trußt, save my successors, whoever they may be,
from any such ordeal. They are frank, bold, and
honest. Thoy detest delators and informers. I
therefore, In'the name and aa the representative
of this great people, and standing upon the ram
parts of tho Constitution whfeh they “ have or
dained and established,” do solemnly protest
. against these, unprecedented and unconstitutional
proceeding*. • >-
There was still another committee raised by the
House on the fith March last, on motion of Mr.
Hoard, to which I had not the slightest objeotlon.
The resolution creating it was confined to specific
charges, which! have over since been ready and
~ willing to meet. I have at all times invited and
defied fair investigation upon constitutional princi
ples. I have received no notice that this com
mittee have evor proceeded to the investigation.
Why should the Jlouse of Representatives desire
to encroach on the other departments of the Go
vornment? Their rightful powers are ample for
I very legitimate purpose. They aro the impeach-'
iug body. Jn their legislative capacity, It la their
most wiso and wholesome prerogative to Institute
rigid examinations into thq manner in whioh all
departments of the Government ard conducted,
with a yiow to reform abuses, to promote economy,
and to improve every branch of administra
tion. Should they fiud reason to believe, in the
course of their examinations, that any grave of
fenoo bad been committed by tho President,
or any offioer of the • Government, rendering it
proper, in their judgment, to resort to impeach
ment, their course would be plain. They would
then transfer tho question from their legislative to
their accusatory jurisdiction, and take care that,
in all the preliminary judicial proceedings prepa
ratory to the vote of articles of impeachment, the
ncqused should enjoy tho benefit of cross*examining
the witnesses, anq all the other safeguards with
wh|oh tho Constitution miDjjmfr every American
oitisen. f
If In a legislative investigation it should appear
that the public interest required the .removal af
any offioer of the Government, no President has
ever existed who, after giving him a fair hearing,
would hesitate to apply the remedy. ‘
This I take to be the ancient and well-estab
lished practice. Anadberenco Uitwill best pro
mote the harmony afi£ the dignity of the inter
roarso between the co ordinate branohes of the
Government, and rendor us all more respectable

Jill*. Breckinridge, in response to repeated cilia.,
appeared and adfiressedbtefriendi; He Mid he
deeply this manifestation of friendly regard',
and’accepted it as an approval of the proceedings
at Baltimore, by whioh the National Democrario
Convention presented his name and that of bfs gal
lant and honored friend. General Lane,’as candi*
dates for President and Vice president of the
Uplted States. That heart vrcpld be eold and In
sensible indeed, that did not throb with gratitude
nt suoh an exhibition of the confidence of bis
countrymen. He felt it, and felt it deeply, and
did,not affect to eonoeal it.
Do kad seep with feelings of .paip the divisions
pd disturbances which ooepmd in the Democratic
Convection, and had had hoped to He, in the end,
that these evils would be averted.
His friends knew that ho would not for an in
stant permit his name to stand in the way of fra
ternal harmony. He well knew that there were
gontlomeirof the North and South, of experience
and ability, who were better fitted than himself for
snob'a trust But, without referring In detail to
the proceedings at Baltimore, fie would only ray
that the Convention whish assembled at the Mary
land Institute was oompdsed, in his opinion, of tro
National Democracy of the United States. [Crier
bf u Oood!” andohaera.J 1
When he learned, though with regret, that bis
name had peon pr-sentea to the cqantry, bo did
net take long U) determine that be would not
meanly abandon them. (Load applause.] He
understood that soma person*, pocqpylbg high po
sitions, entertain tho belief that the National
Democratic party is a Disunion party, and in
tended to break up the Union of these States.
[Ufiod of “N*ver ! we intend to preserve it !”]
tlo Uqd read the resolutions adopted by that Con?
vention wltk a gfoqt dpaf of oqro. Thpro vf&s no
thing ip the character of that Convention or the
gentlemen who oompesod it, or—it Be was allowed
fca add—in the character of the nominees, tojastify
it. (Applause] instead of breaking up the
Union, we intend, he said, to strpgthen and to
lengthen it. [Applause.]
,A voice. "Ouba. M
Uoe of the resolutions declared the equality of
tije States [a all the common Territories, under
our common Constitution. But'no mau is a dis
unionist who wants to preserve the Union on the
great prinoiplp of the Constitution and tho equa
lity of the States.
•Another resolution, instead of breaking up the
Union, seems tq pledge, by the power ot organi
zation, to unite Ha different parts by iron bands.
He hoped this wopld be speedily ana grandly re
alised. He Baw nothing seotiqnal there, from any
of thp Btatps.
Qor peaoe has never been disturbed except when
those principles have been departed from.
With regard to himself, when the Convention se
lected him as one of its candidates, looking at hie
bumble antecedents and place of abode, it gave to
tbe'oountry a personal and geographical guaranty
that its interest was in the Union. [Cheers.]
Ho alluded to hU distinguished associate, Gene
ral Lane..
It sometimes happened that men are placed in a
position where they are reluctant to act, and ex*
pofo themsolves to censure/if not to execration,
they do not merit. Bat we must be prepared to
in act such oooaslons in this life. All men can move
forward with dignity, and with calm and unfalter
ing step. It was his purpose io pursue that eouise
lie concedod to othora the same good purpose he
claimed for himself.
Without aorimony and animosity he acoeptod the
no&iizmtJod tendered him, (appleuM loud and long
continued), and should quietly, firmly, and he
hoped bravely, aocept the responsibility imposed
upon him. He cherished the hope that Providence
jvill load us 6ut of onr civil' disasters, hnd in His
good time conduct us to tranquillity and pehee.*
Nine cheers were given fop Breokinridge with a
will, and ho retired amidst overwhelming applause
and congratulations.
SPEECIf OP HON. JEFFERSON DAVIS,
Senator Davis followed in an.eloquent speech.
He referred to the personal and public oharacter
of Messrs. Breckinridge and Lane. The Demo
cratic party was not a party which seeks for Spoils,
or rests itself on the claims of men. When Van
proved untrae/they cut him off u cals*
eased member, and wfcen, at a more reoo'nt period;
another Democrat proved peAreipt, it remained for
the party, faithful to'ita Ipatf'ctqtA, to separate him

an amendment that the Poetmaeter General be au

central route, Within twenty deyr, and on ■ the
northern route from St Paul to the Dalles, Oregon,
and that he be also authorised to oontraof. for tem
porary steamship service on tho most expeditious
ooe&n route to California. The amendment was
followed with a proviso that the Butterfield con
tractors have permission to change tbair route be
tween prominent points.
Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, hoped that this
proviso would be withdrawn.
Mr. Yuleb then withdrew it.
Mr. Wilson commented on the manner In whioh
the last ocean mail contract to California was
made, and he was opposed to making any more
steamship contracts, for that reason, Tho con
tract, in that case, was made with Vanderbilt, who.
was not the lowest bidder. -
Mr. Yuleb stated that the lowest bid was made
by Johnson, and was bogus, and therefore not ac
cepted.

clared tho Senate adjourned.
HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES.
The House acceded to the request of the Senate
for another eommittee of conference' on' the Pott
Office detoleney bill. -
The Praeident sent a message notifying the
House that he had signed certain hills, inemding
that making appropriations for civil expenses, with
a protest against a oianse designating Capt. Meigs
to superintend the expenditure ofnalf n million
dollars for tho completion -o! the , Washington
Aqueduct. He does not believe it was the inten
tion of Congress to interfere with the oorutitutional
right of the President, os commander-in-chief of
the army, to order Captain Meigs elsewhere, end
asserts Ms authority to send him away to superin
tend the ereotion ef fortiSeations or other works.
It was evident .to him that Congreae intended no*
thing more than to express a decided opinion that
Capt. Meigs should he eon tinned in employment to
superintend the Washington Aqueduct, la the
appropriation constitntionnl, and will It fail if he
should not think it proper and expedient to regard
this dssignation. ere questions whioh shall receive
his serious consideration, beoanse on this will de
pend, whether the water-works eh,II be. arrested
for another jeer. He now desired to expreis no
opinion, but this question shall ha carefully consi
dered, if it becomes necessary.-
Another message from the President was re
ceived, recapitulating the grounds of his protest
of March last,, against the proceedings under the
Covode Committee. The charges against him
feeing vague and expressed In equivocal terms, he
did not for a moment entertain adouhtaa to the
result. ' . ... (r , .- .
He did not believe it possible that there existed
a men who could an basely perjure himself. The
proceedings of the House, he repeats, were violative
of tho rights ef a co-ordinate branch of the Oovern*-
ment, end which, if ealbreed, would establish a
dangerous precedent. The House had noted with
out constitutional warrant, nnd in a manner
tending to degrade the Presidential office, and
render it unworthy of acceptance of an honorable
man.
The accusatory resolatloh was nothing more nor
less than that the President has used corrupt
means to aao*mplfoh certain purposes. By what
authority did the Bouse undertake to investigate
the Executive's course as to the Lesompton Oonstl-.
tntion?—to pry into our foreign relations, assail
ing our Mexican minister as to the Tehuantepec
route?—to investigate the removals from office,
notwithstanding the power of removal belongs to
the President under the Constitution, and was so
decided by the first Congress, and accordingly
ever since his been so exercised*
There was no authority for the committee te in*
vestigate the subject of printing.the post office
blanks, because that question had been previously
examined by two othor committees.
The President speaks of the vindictive manner
in which the witnesses were examined. The first
information he received of testimony whtoU- oould
injuriously affect him. was published in a New
York journal, but wbioh was disproved by the most
respectable witnesses. The telegraph,, however,
was silent'as to the contradiction. Only such
despatches wore published es could reflect on his
character, thus inflicting the most flagrant injur*
tioe. Different versions were given of private con*
versa Hoes, where there was no opportunity to re*
fqte them.
Members of the Cabinet, and others, were sum
moned to discover, if possible, something to his
discredit. Disappointed applicants for office, be*
coming hostile to the Administration, appeared be
fore the committee. These were the most dan
gerous witnesses.
Tho oommlttee spread a drag-nefover the whole
Union, to catch, disappointed men to- malign his
[the president's] character. The tyrannical Star
Chamber was not worse than this. .There haibeen
nothing like It sinoe the revolutionary days of
Robespierre* «
Should the proceedings of the' committee be
sanctioned by the House, the Constitution will be
violated, and the Exeontive be no longer an inde
pendent bracob of the Government, c and the wont
fears of tho early patriots and statesmen be re*
alieedi
He reiterates tho powerunder the impeachment
clause, and says that U was sought to oonvlot him
in absence of all proof.
In the name of tho' representative of this great
people, and standing on the ramparts of the Con
stitution which they ordained and established, be
solemnly protests against these unconstitutional
proceedings.
Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, said that the .sending in of
this extraordinary message at so late a period of
the session prevents any discussion. Being fc State
paper, it should be placed is the publte - archived ;
The source from which it catne deserved respectful
consideration. If 'the doctrine it lays down of
Executive immunity frem the’acttok'of the Repre
sentatives of the nation, except .in the nature- of
impeachment, bo oorreot, then the machinery of,
this Government is different from whit he hbd sup
posed. Be had supposed that the Representatives
and Senators were reSDohaible to the people
v The power to investigate the offioial acts of the
Exocutivo department should be somewhere, and
with them. The people's representative* had the
right to question the secret and public acts of a 1 ]
public functionaries, and they may hold them re
sponsible through the ballot-box for the manner la
whfoh they dlAsharge their duties.-—la thise re
marks he bad avoided personalities and vitupera
tions, which wobld be *n bid Wtth a yiew
to give the subject a carefuj consideration, he
moped that tho message be referred to a special
committee otfiyc to examine into the constitutional
questions involved, and to report at the next ses
sion.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, said the Executive was
responsible for eyery dereliction of duty, but under
the laws of the land, according to which he ought
to be tried, the same as a private citizen, who may
rcb or steal from his neighbor. It was not to' be
expected that be was to be taken up by an organ
ised mob In an informal manner, and‘tiled and
sentenced by bis accusers. The most flagrant mur
derer ia entitled to a fair trial, and it would be
deemed tt shook to publio justice to permit even
such a character to be dealt with as had the Presi
dent, who had been condemned by the committee,
against whose action he protests. If the President
has violated,, try him under the Impeachment
clause of ibe Constitution. -
Mr. Barksdale, or Mississippi, said the Presi
dent needs no defence, He has come out of tbu
fiery ordeal unscathed, and stands without fear or
reproach, occupying a higher and nobler position
than ever before—illustrious as hss boenbU service
to the country He moved that the menage be re
