The veto 'power has long, .been in cxiat enee in Pennsylvania, and. has been often. uxercißed r andyet, to my knowledge,.it nev er, has-been- exerted in uliy. important case, except in obedience.to the-public will, or in promotion of the interests- of the people.— Simon Snyder, whose* far-seeing sagacity detected the. evils oh our present hanking system, whilst tlujy.wero yet comparatively ill embryo,.has rendered himself immortal by his veto-of the forty hank’s.- The sys tem., however, whs only arrested,-'nut de stroyed', and we are now suffering the evils.

Th the convention of ITS 7, which was held, fur the purpose of proposing amendments tu our fe'-oiiatitution,the idonlicul proposition now made. by. the Senator from Kentucky, was brought forward, -aiid was repudiated by a vole of. 103 to 14.' This convention was composed of tlie ablest and - most practical men in the State, and was almost equally divided between the two great rival parties of lhe country; and yet, in that body, hut fourteen , individuals could he found who the Constitution in this 1 particular." Whilst tire {samfers of the Constitution thought, and thought t'isely, that in order, ~to give this power the practice' they .designed, it was necessary that £oy bill which Was vetoed,should- be arrested, uOt' wUhstanding.a miiyorityof.

Thus - the existence, tlio exercise, nu'd the restraint , of.the power are all harmoniously blended, and afford a. striking example of the mutual cheeks, and balances of the Constitution, so admirably adapted to preserve thy rightsof thte States and,of the, people. . 'flic last reason to which. I.shall advert why the veto power-was adopted,-and ought to be preserved,.! shall state in the language of-lhe seventy-third nuinber of the Feucral istt . . ..“The propensity (says the author) of the Ltgisla live Department to intrude) upon the rights, and to ab sorb the powers of the other departments, boa been al ready fnoio than once suggested. The insufficiency of a mere parchment delineation, of the boundaries of each, has also been remarked upon, end the necessity ef.furnishing each with constitutional-oems for its owii defence, has been inferred and proved. From these cEbar and indubitable principles results tho propriety of arnegntive, either absolute or qualified, in the Execu tive; upon4lm acU of the legislative branches*” The Executive,which is the weaker branch, uvtiie opinion of the Federalist, ought nut ,be leif’ttt the mercy of Congress, “but ought to- pussess a constitutional and effectual pow er: of self-defehce.” It ought to be able to resist encroachment on' its constitutional rights.

President, .1 did not think, at the tune of- its delivery, that the speech of the , distinguished. Senator from Kentucky was (me of great- power; although we. all know thal nothing he can utter- is devoid of elu ' quenceanu interest. I. mean, only to say thajt F did nut then believe his speech was cliaracterized by his usual ability: and I was - disarmed'.to attribute tills-to.the feeble state of his health and the consequent want of his usual buoyancy of spirit.' Since 1 have-seen thin-print, ['have changed my opinion;.and for the- first time in my. life 1 have believed, that- a speech of his could appear better and: • fonre effective in the reading than in the de livery- Ido not mean to insinuate that any tiling wasndded in the report of |f; for i be ... lieve it contains all the arguments used by tlie Senator and-no more; but'l was aston ished to find, upon a careful examination, that every possible argument had been urged which could be used m a cause so hopeless. This Is-nty apology for having detained the Senate-so lotjg in attempting to answvr. it. [MI-. Clay observed that he: never saw the speech, as written out by the Ueportcr, till he feed 'it in print- the next morning; and, although, he found' some errorsand (niscun • ception»),yet, on the whole, it was very cor tect, and; as-well as he could recollect*, con ■ ■ taihed all the, arguments be did.tuukc use of, and ho tnore.J v Mr. BuciiANAN.

Uhtt.fois^ ! Judiciary in form; but they possess it in fact j to a niucli greater extent tlmn the President. The Chief Justice of tlie United States and | his associates,"silting in the gloomy chamber beneath, exercise. the- tremendous and irre sponsible'po'wer of; saying to all the depart ments of the Government! “hitherto shall thou- go, and no further.” They exercise the prerogative of annulling laws passed by Congress, and approved by the President, whenever in’ their opinion, the legislative authority has transcended its .constitutional limits. Is not this a "self-pro leclingpower. much mure formidable-than the veto of the Presidentß Two-thirds of Congress may overrule the Executive veto; but the whole of Congress and t(ie- President united, can nut overrule the . decisions of the Supreme Court.- Theirs is a veto on the action of,the whole Government. I do nut say that this powder, formidable as it may be, ought not to exist: on the contrary, I consider it to be one of the wise chccks which the framers of the Constitution have provided against hasty and unconstitutional legislation, and is a part of the great system of mutual restraints which the people have imposed on their servants for. their own protection. This, however,,l.will say, and that with the most sincere respect fur the individual judgesj.that-in my opinion, the whole traiu of their decisions from the beginning fhvors the power of'the-General Government at the expense of State rights and State sovereignty. Where, 1 usk,.is the case to be found upon their records, in which they have,ever decided that any,act of Con gress, fromthe - alien and sedition laws un til the present day, was unconstitutional, provided it extended-the the Fed eral Constitution? Truly they are abund antly able to protect their owti rights and jurisdiction against either Congress or the Executive, or both united, Again: the Senator asks, wh veto been given to the President on the acts of conventions held for the purpose of amend ing our Constitutions? Tin} answer to this argument is equally easy. It would be ab surd to grant an appeal; through the inter vention of the veto, to the people themselves, their own acts. The'y create can speak, their Bci'vaiHsj-Wheitihr Executive, or Judicial,.inu'stoe ?l!ent. Be sides, when they proceed to exercise ihgir sovereign power in changing the tonus 'of their Government, they are peculiarly care ful in the selection of their delegates—they watch oyer the proceedings with vigilant care,-and the Constitution proposed, by such a convention, is never adopted uittil after Jt has been submitted to the vote of the people. It is a mere:propositiou to thepcop’othem-: selves 1 ? and leaves no room for the action of the veto power.' ~ : ■ [ Here Mr. Clay observed, that Constitu tions, thus formed, were not afterwards sub- mitted to the people.] Mr. BucUanan. For many years past, I believe that this has always been done; as it always ought to be done, in the States: and the Federal Constitution was not adopted until after it had been l submitted to a con- vention of the people of every State in the Union. So much in regard to the Stales. The Senator’s argument has no application what ever to the Federal Constitution, which has provided of its own amendment. It requires Iwo-lhiids of both Houses, the very majority required to overrule a Presi dential veto’, even to propose any amend ment; and before such an amendment Can be adopted, it.must be ratified by'the Legisla tures, or by conventions, in three-fourths of the several States. To state this proposition. is to manifest the absurdity, nay, the impos sibility of applying the Veto power of the President to amendments, which have thus been previously ratified, by such an over whelming expression of the public will.— This Constitution of ours, with all its checks and balances, is a wonderful invention of. human wisdom. Founded upon the most just philosophical principles!, and the deep est knowledge of the nature of man, it pro duces harmony, happiness, an'd order, Irom elements,, which, to the superficial observer, might appear to be discordant. On tlie whole, I trust .not only that this veto power may not be destroyed, but that the vote on the Senator’-s amendment may be of such a cha’racter as to settle the ques tion, atleast-during the present-generation. ■Sir, of-all-the-Executive- powers, it.,is. the one least to be dreaded. - It cannot create; it can originate no measure; it can change no'existing“law;~it can- dcstroy-no-existing institution. It is a'mere power to >i'iest hasty and inconsiderate changes, until the voice of the people, who are, alike the mas ters of Senators, Representatives and Presi dent, shall be heard;'' When it speaks, we must all bow with deference'to" the decree; Public opinion.is irresistible in this country. It will accomplish its purpose by the remo val of Senators,'Representatives, or Presi dent, ..who may stand in its-Way. The Pre sident might as well attempt to stay the tides of the ocean , by erecting mounds of sand, as to think of controlling the will /if the people by the .veto power. The mount ain waves of popular opinion would soon, prostrate such a feeble barrier. The veto | [ power is every thing when sustained by pub lic opinion; but nothing without it. ; I What is this Constitution under wliichiwe | live, and'what are we?.

Ther Senator from. Kentucky has not, in my opinion, fdr oithed us with any sufficient reasons. - f And after-: all,, what harm can' th.is veto power ever do?. It can.never delay the pan sage of a. great public measure, demanded i by the people, more than two, or at the most, four years-' Is it not bettet;, .then, rait to this -possible inconvenience, (for it has never yet occurred,) ■ than to destroy the power allogethcr?

With regard to the period at which he proposed that his bill should come into operation—a point on which a question was put to him the’ other night—as the bill was in every instance a relaxation or remission of existing, duties, it appeared to him desira ble (and'lie trusted all would concur in this) that when-Jllie bill received the assent of the Legislature, it should come into operation as speedily as possible, and therefore not propose that it should waif for the new sys tem of averages.

He did not think there was any concert of action between the conspirators and the adherents of Don Carlos, and he as sured the House that the British Govern ment would take all proper and necessary steps to help the Government of Spain in putting down the insurrection. In answer to Lord Ingcstre, Lord Stanley Stated that it was not the intention of the Government to send out any new expedition to the Niger, still less one composed of White persons. On the part of.the Government he disclaimed all wish to asssert any right of sovereignty in that quarter of the tvorld.
