• The Democratic Watchman. ifj . 'LEFONTE, PA FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 7. 1868 Message of President Johnson Witentwereow. July 19.—The President yestemiay afternoon sent the following message to,congress : lb the Seim's and House of Representatives : Niperienco hat' fully demoustrsted the wisdom of the framers of the Federal Constitution. Under all eircumetenem the reenltkif their letiore was as near an aProkimMinn to perfection as was corn patible with the fallibifity of man. Such being the collimation in which tire Con stitation la, sud has ever been, held by our countrymen. it is not surprising that any proposition for its alteration or amendment should be received with re loctance and distrust. Whilst this een• Unmet deserves consideration and en eouragement lea useful preventative of unnecessary atlempt ititthenge its pro. visions, it must be ennefeded that time has developed imperfections and omis Mons in the Conetittuion, the reforma- tion of which has been demanded by the best intereets of the country. Some of these have been remidieil in the manner provided in the Constituticialteelf There are others which, ebbough heretofore brought to the attention of the people. have never been so presented as to mitt ble the popular judgment to determine whether they should be corrected by means of additienal amen'ments. My objedt in this communization is to cog. ges‘neriain dermas in the Constitution which seem to me to retjuire correction, and to recoommend that the judgment of the people be taken on the amendments proposed. The first of the defects to which I de. sire to direct attention is in that claim, of the Constitution which 1 rovidee for the election of President and Vice President through the lntervegtion'ofeteciors , end not by the immediate vote of the pebple. The Importance of so amending thu olause•ss to secure to the people the elec tion of President and Vice President by their direct votes, was urged With great earnestness and ability by Preside:it Jackson in his first annual meesage, and the recommendation was repeated in five of his subsequent communications to Congress. extending througis-the eight year of bis administration. la his mes sage of 1829 he said : "To the people belong the right, of electing their Chief Mar tetrste wee never designed that t,heir choice should, any case, be defeated, either by the intervention of electoral go-lieges or by the arency confided, under certain con tingenciee, to the House of Itepressuia tives." He then proceeded to Mote the objets lion to an election of President by the /00J10 of Representelivee, the moat DD• portant of which was that the choice of a clear majority of lb. people might be easily defeated He theta closed the ar gument with the following ecumniunica lion . ••I would therekoks recommend such an amendment of the Constitution as may remove all intermediate agency the election of President and Vice Presi dent. The mode may be so regulated as to preserve to each State ua present rel alive weight in the election ; and a fail ure in the first attempt may be provided for, by confining the vetoed to a choice between the two candidates. In con nection with such an amendment, it would deem advisable to limit the see vice of the Chief Magistrate to a stogie term of either f , irr or six years If however it should net be adopted, it iv worthy of consideration whether a pro •ision disqualifying fee office the Rep resentati•es in Congrees on whom such as election may have devolved, would net be proper"' Although Mr reciantneradation was repeated with undiessambed Ines/ in several of his evocesding message., yet the proposed amendment was never adopted and submitted to tie people by — Congress. The skater of a defeat •f the people's stoke in so election by the R• 01.8 of Representatives remains nu provided (or i• the Constitution, and woold be greatly increased if the House of illppresentatioes 'nettle assume the powi4 arbitrarily to reject the rotes of a Beate which night sot be cast in con . Comity with the wishes of the msjo. ity is that body. Sot if President Jactliavic failed te 16- awe the amendment to the .ConatitOtien whist ie urged so pereisleatly, his ar guments contributed largely to the for. merlon of patty organisations which have effectually avoided theeientingeney of an election ,by the NOUN of Rept,- seatatives. Them, organisations. first by a resort to the Canons 11710141111 of nom inating eendidates, and altrrwards to State and National aanveseelons, have been evacoeseful in so litniting the onto bar of candidates as to escape the dan ger of stleetion•by the goose of Repre sentatives. It is clear, however, that in thus lintitiog the number of candidates, the object and spirit of the Constitution have been avoided and defeated. It Is an taiga, lei feature in our wepublieso system of gegen:meat that every citizen post/easing, eke constitutional qualifies. tions bast eight to become a eatodldate for PreeWent or Vice PresidtMs. sod that even; qualified elector has a right to oast his vole for say citizen whom be may regard so worthy of those Maces ; but under the party orginizatioaa which base propelled for years them etseentlal rightte of the people, base bees aseiffeotn allp out off andAlestroyed as if the Con stitution itself had prohibited ibis seer emit. The danger of a defeat of the pop. ular aheiee le as election by the Houle of Representative* is not greater id ap eleotion made nominally bytil people filmed - Tv, when by the laws of party organisation, by the eohltittdimal provlsieti requiting' , the petiplet le vete for/elector, insieml Ofdro , the Peostalima anAlfice Preeitbiettj4gel" i wPcitlik osiMit for any citizen to be a, candidate aseept thiobgb the premiere a party notidditiort,. sad far adj; Viler to east' Ills suave for shy snow pen Sep then one thus brought forward/ tbrottalt ,the manipulations of a nondastlng coarse lion.' it ie (hue apparent that by means of party oriptultation, fbbt prikillfon of the Cedinionlleel wtriolerittlle'eleo. lion of President soli Arias fossidiant to be made through the Elsetoral College,' hatobsen instrumental sad potions' In ' dehmtang th« grwil n«teet of tionterring , he choice of these officers upoi the pea pie.

Strongly iinpre.stal with the truth of these views, I feel called upon, by, an imperative sense of duty, to revive sub :Uhl:101'11y the recommendation so often and no earnestly made ,hy President Jackson, In urge that the areendment to the Constitution herewith presented. or some similar proposition may be rub milted to the people for their ratification or rejection. Recent eyelashes° shown the necessity of nn amendment to the Constitution distinotly defining the per sons who •hall discharge the duties of President of the United States the event of a vacancy in that office by the death. resignation tie removitl of both the President sod Vice President. It in clear that this should be fired by the Constitution, hod noi,..lfe left to a repeal stile enactment of doubtful constitution ality. It occurs tut me that in this event of it vacancy in that office, of President by death, resignation. disahtlity or re mo•al of both the President and N'trie President. the dtltion of the office , Ptl ' olllli divolve upon an officer of the Executive Department of the Government. rather tban tiphn one connected with either the Legislative or Judicial department The objection to di/signal rng either the Pies Id, tit pro lent of rho S..rco, or th e ci,, e r Justice of the Supreme Court, hid eerie ctally in the event of a •kottooy pro thiced by remo•al, are so obvious and PO unanswerable that they need not be eta led in dirndl I , is enough to st,nte that they Are both interested in producing vacancy. hod het (ad nig 111 tbeprovisions of the Cons?, union are members of the, tribunal by whose riperer , a vacancy IP made or produced. Under ouch circum outdo!. the impropriety of designating either of three officers to succeed the President. Po removed. is palpable, The tromers of the Constitution When they referred to Congress the settlement of the stiotwasion of the oflice of Prep, dent in the event of a vac tory in the offices of both President nod Vice Pros ident, did not, in my opinion, contem plate the designation of any other than an officer of the Esecuti•e department. on whom, in such a contingeney, the powers and duties of the President should deielve. Until recently the con tingency has been remote, end serious attention has not been called to the man ifest incongruity between the provision of the Csnelitution on this subject and the net of COnerems of 1792. !laving, however, been- brought almost face to face with this Important question, it seems an eminently proper t tree l'or to make the legislation conform lo the language. Intent and theory of the con stitution, sod thus place the Executi•e department beyond the reach of usur pstion, and remove from the Legislative and Jidicialdeptirtments every tempt• 'ion to combine for the absorption of all powers of government It bas occurred to me that to the event of such a vacancy the duties of the President would devolve most artgleropriately upon some one of the be•d4 of the several Executive depart tuents , and under this conviction lyre sent for your consideration an amend meat to the Constitution on this subject, with a !recommendation that it be sub nutted to the people for their viatica § lion, Esperieoce seems to have established the necessity of an striesdnient of that clause of the Coostitution which pro videa for the election of Senators to Coogreee hy the Lsgislaiure of the sev eral States it would be more consist ent with rise genius of our form of gov ernment tf the Senators were (diction di rectly by the people of the States The objections to the election of genitors by Legislatures are no palps hie.that7 deem it unnecessary to do more than to submit the proposition for mob so amendment, with a rocommends don that it be referred to the people for their judgcooot, it is strongly impressed of my mind that the (*wore of °Soo by the tludieiary et the United States -during good be heeler, orffor life, is inoompatible with the spirit of • republicao form of gov ernment, and in this opinion lam fully restained by 4be e•idences of - popular judgment upon this subject vs different Staten of the Cohn.
