others, being the same persons now ronorn , a ted o the Senate, no definite decision was made until the ittth day of February, when they were each separately rejected by ayes and noes. 1 he subjects, in the meantime, with which these nominations were in some degree connected, hid undergone a full and elaborate discussion in the Senate. The decision, therefore, was well calculated to satisfy

the President that the Senate entertained decisive objections to the confirmation of these four persons; and the journal, of which the president usually sees a copy, could not fail to show that each and every one of them was rejected by a clear majority of the whole Senate. The precise character of the objections taken by each and every member of this majority, or even the general character of such objections, it would be presumptuous in tho committee to attempt to ascertain. They cannot be expected to go into private conference with members, and to interrogato either those of tho majority or minority, upon this or any other question, as to the reasons of their votes. It must be obvious that, from the constitution of the Senate, from the man ner of its proceedings, from the absolute right of every member to vote lor or against particular nominations, for reasons of his own, whether others concur with him in those reasons or not, the grounds of the votes of the individual members can never be set forth, nor authentically known. The committee cannot undertake any inquiry into such grounds of individual opinion; nor do they know any form in which the Senate itself, if it were so inclined, could compel individuals to state the reasons of their votes . Tho committee, therefore, do not suppose it proper for the Senate, by any proceeding to be adopted on its part, to undertake to sot forth the reasons of members for rejecting these persons. It is enough that tSio Senate, in tho exercise of an unquestionable constitutional right, has refused its advice and consent to the nominations. This has been officially certified to the President, and the committee think there is no ground for further inquiry. The President disclaims, indeed, in terms, all right to inquire into the reasons of the Senate for rejecting any nomination; and yet the message immediately undertakes to infer, from facts and circumstances, what those reasons, which influenced the Senate in thi3 case, must have been, and goes on to argue, much at large, against the validity of such suDDosed reasons. The committee are of opinion, that if, as tho President admits, he cannot inquire into the reasons of the Senate for refusing its assent to nominations, it is still more clear that these reasons cannot, with propriety, be assumed, and made subjects of comment. i In cases in which nominations are rejected for reasons affecting the character of tho persons nominated, the committee think that no inference is to bo drawn, except what the vote shows; that is to say: that the Senate withholds its advico and consent from tho nominations. And the Senate, not being bound to give reasons for its votes in these cases, it is not bound, nor would it bo proper for it, as tho committee think, to givo any answer to remarks founded on the presumption of what such reasons must have been in tho present case. .They feel themselves, therefore, compelled to forego any response whatever to the message of the President in this particular, as well by tho reasons before assigned, as out of respect to that high officer. Tho President acls upon his own views of public policy in making nominations to the Senate; and the Senate does no more when it confirms or rejects such nominations. For either of these co-ordinate departments to enter into tho consideration of the motives of the other, would not, and could not fail, in the end, to break up all harmonious intcrcourso between them. This your committee would deploro ns highly injurious to the best interests of tho country. The President, doubtless, asks himself, in the case of every nomination for office, whether the person be fit for the office; whether he be actuated by correct views and motives; and whether he be likely to be influenced by those considerations which should alone govern him in the discharge of his duties is ho honest, capable, and faithful? Being satisfied in these particulars, the President submits his 112 mo to tho Senate, where the same inquiries arise, and its decision should bo presumed to be dictated by the same high considerations as those which govern the President in originating the ncmination. For theso reasons, the committee have altogether refrained from entering into any discussion of tho duties and obligations of directors of tho bank, appointed by the President and Senate, which form the main topic of the message. The committeo would not feel that it had fully r.cquitted itself of its obligations, if it did not avail itself of this occasion to call the attention of the Senate to the general subject of renomination. The committee do not deny that a renomination exists; but they are of opinion that, in very clear and strong cases only, should the Senate reverse decisions which it has deliberately formed, and officially communicated to the President. In military and naval appointments, it is possible that questions, not of personal fitness for office, but of the right of individuals to rank and grade, may arise be- . tween the President and Senate, and that nominations may be rejected, pending such questions which might properly bo renewed under other laws, or a new state of circumstances. And in regard too to diplomatic appointments, the question may perhaps sometimes turn, not on the fitness of the person nominated, but on tho propriety of any appointment, or of any such mission as is proposed. If new information should be given, shedding new Kght, satisfactory to the Senate, in such case it may bo a proper reason for agreeing to nominations once rejected. Nor will the committeo say that there may not be other cases in which a person once rejected may be properly again presented to tho Senate. But the committee think that in a case in which the decision of tho Senate has been deliberately made upon tho sole question of the fitness of tho persona for the offices to which thev are nominated, and its assent has been withheld it ought not, without very strong and clear reasons w v-iaiuii uyuu a renomination. The committee has caused the journals of the Senate to bo examined, in reterence to tho practice of renomination; and they find that, during the Presidential term of General Washington, Mr. J. Adams tand Mr. Jefferson, no instance of renomination to office once occurred ; and yet there arc not wanting instances of the rejection of nominations made bv those illustrious citizens; tho motives for which it would be difficult now to ascertain. To illustrate this it is only necessary to select the case of Colonel Fishburn, a gallant soldier of the revolution, who was nominated by General Washington as the collector of Savannah, and was rejected by the Senate. And although tho President was obviously mortified by the decision, the nomination having been made, in a great measure, from his personal knowledgo of the individual, he contented himself, after the rejection, with addressing a letter to the Senate, containing his reasons for the Qomination

of Colonel Fishburn, and accompanied that message with the name of another individual. During tho administration of Mr. Madison, two instances occur of renominations of the same persons to the same offices for which they had originally been nominated. Abraham Quackenbush was nominated as an ensign, and rejected; renominated, and confirmed. And George Brown was nominated a

collector of the first collection district of Maryland, and, after a rejection, was renominated and confirmed. What reasons influenced the President to pursue this coursa in the two instances referred to, or the Senate to concur in it, the committee have now no means of ascertaining. During the administration of Mr. Monroe the instances of renomination became more frequent; but several of them were nominations to military appointments; and, in a majority of the cases, no direct vote rejectin the nomination had passed the Senate. The cases of renomination by Mr. Monroe after the rejection, were James Gadsden as adjutant general, and Nathan Towson as colonel, Charles Van do Venter as navy agent, and Duff Green as receiver, all of which were rejected on their renomination. The two first nominations were purely military, and involved an interesting and difficult question of grade; and, in tho opinion of the President, called for tho most minute and elaborate investigation. What motives impelled to tho renomination of the two last, the committee cannot undertake to say. During the four years of Mr. J. Q. Adams's administration, no instance of renomination appears to have occurred, unless the nomination of AmosBinney, whose nomination, previously made by Mr. Monroe, had been postponed ; and that of Peter Sailly, whoso nomination by Mr. Monroo had been laid upon tho table at tho last day of the session, and who, at the commencement of the succeeding Executive session, was again presented to the Senate, are to be considered as renominations. Since the 3d of March, 1S29, four instances of renomination, after rejection by tho Senate, have occurred. In two of these instances, the persons renominated were again rejected, in the third the nomination was agreed to, and tho fourth is tho case now before the Senate. Tho committeo perceive, with regret, an intimation in tho message that the President may not seo fit to send to the Senate the names of any other persons to be directors of the bank, except those whoso nominations have been already rejectod. While the Senate will excrciso its own rights according to its own views of its duly, it will leave to other officers of tho Government to decide for themselves on the manner they will perform their duties. The committee know no reason why these offices should not be filled; or why, in this case, no further nomination should bo tnado after tho Senate has exercised its unquestionable right of rejecting particular persons who have been nominated, any more than in other cases. Tho Senate will be ready at all times to receive and consider any such nominations as tho President may present to it. It claims no authority to control him in his nominations; but it cannot surrender the exercise of its own right of deciding for itself on the propriety of advising and consenting to appointments to office. It cannot deprive itself of its own powers; it cannot surrender its own constitutional character; it cannot, through apprehension of any consequences whatever, forbear from exercising its high duty of giving or of refusing its advice and consent to nominations of the President, in all cases, according to its conscientious sense of its own obligations to the constitution and to the country. If theso offices of bank directors remain unfilled, the faujt will not bo tho -fault of the Senate. The case is like other cases of rejection. In other cases, other persons have been nominated in place of those rejected by tho Senate, and confirmed; and if a different courso shall bo adopted on this occasion, it is a course for which the Senate cannot be responsible. Their power of withholding their assent from tho PrrVdcut'a nominations is not altogether vain and nugatory. It was given them by tho constitution to bo exercised in proper cases, and in their own discretion. When exercised by them, tho rights of no other branch of the Government arc infringed or impaired. TheSenato has only done its own duty, and, having done this honestly and conscientiously, it cannot fear any consequences. The committee recommend that tho Senate do not advise and consent to tho 'appointment of the petsons thus renominated. Tho report was read. The Senate proceeded to consider the message renominating Henry D. Gilpin, and others, as bank directors. On tho question, "Will the Senate advise and consent to tho appointment of Henry D. Gilpin, Peter Wager, John T. Sullivan and Hugh McEldery?" It was determined in the negative, Yeas 11, Nays 30.

authorized to give extracts from the Executive Journal of the proceedings of the Senate in relation

to the nomination and renomination of the directors ; of the Bank of the United States fur the year 1S31. On motion by Mr. Preston, lResolved, That two thousand copies of the President's message of March 11, 1834, nominating certain bank directors, and the report of the committee thereon, together with the proceedings of the Senate on the first and second nomination of said bank directors, be printed. "Journal of a West India Proprietor, is the title of a posthumous volume of the novelist Lewis, famed as the author of "The Monk," which has just been given to the public by Murray, the Rothschild of London publishers. As we do not learn that a reprint is in contemplation in this country, we extract the following disquisition on negro character, which will be found rather amusing. New Yorker. "Naturalists aud physicians, philosophers and philanthropists, may argue and decide us they please; but certainly, as far as mere observation admits of my judging, there does seem to be u very great difference between the brain of a black person and a white one. Somehow or other, a negro can never manage to do any thing quite as it should be done. If they correct themselves in one respect to-day, they are sure of making a blunder in some other manner to-morrow. Tho girl, whose business it is to open the house each morning, has in vain been desired to unclose all the jalousies: she never fails to leave three or four closed, and when she is scolded lor doing so, she takes care to open those three the next morning, and leaves three shut on the opposite side. For above a month Cubina and I had perpetual quarrels about the cats being shut into the gallery at nights, where they threw down plates, glasses and crockery of all kinds, and made such a clatter that to get a wink of sleep was quite out of the question. Cubina, before he went to rest, hunted under all the beds and sola, and laid about him with a long whip for half an hour together; but in half an hour after his departure, the cats were at work a'a':n. r .. . . . . ,. . . . - . .

"Ao, he said "he had not lett one; but a pane in one of the windows had been broken two months before, and it was there that the cats got in whenever they pleased." let he had continued to turn the cats out of the door with the greatest care, although he was perfectly conscious that they could always walk in again at the window in five minutes after. But tho most curious of Cubina's modes of proceeding is, when it is necessary to attack the ni-geon-house. He steals uo the ladder as slilv and as softly as foot can fall; he opens the door, and steals in his head with the utmost caution; on which, to his never-failing surprise and disappointment, all the pigeons make their escape through the open holes; ho has now no resource but entering the dove-cot, and remaining there with unwearied patience for the accidental return of the birds, which nine times out of ten does not take place till too late for dinner, and Cubina returns empty-handed. Having observed this proceeding constantly repeated during a fortnight, I took pity on his embarrassment, and ordered two wooden sliders to be fitted to the holes. Cubina was delightod with this exquisite invention, and failed not the next morning to close all the holes on the right with one of the slippers; he then stepped boldlv imo me uovc-cot, when to his utter contusion, the pigeons ilew away through tho holes on the left. Here then he discovered where tho fault 1 HV. so ho lost no time in closing the remaining aperture with the second slider, and the pigeons were thus prevented from returning at all. Cubina waited long with exemplary patience, but without success; so he abandoned the new invention in despair, made no further use of tho sliders, and continues to steal up the ladder as he did before. A few days ago, Nicholas, m.latto carpenter, was ordered to make a box for the con veyanco of four jars of sweetmeats, of which he took previous measure; yet first he made a box so small that it would scarcely hold a single jar, and then another so largo that it would have held twenty; and when at length ho produced one of a proper size, he brought it nailed up for travelling, (although it was completely empty,) and nailed up so eifectually too, that on being directed to open it that the jars might be packed, he split the cover to pieces in the attempt to take it otf. Yet, among all my negroes, Nicholas and Cubina are not equalled for adroitness and intelligence by more than twenty. Judge then what must be the remaining three hundred." The negro sagacity evinced in it is, wc think, fully paralleled by the ingenuity of a Sir Charles Price, who finding his plantation much infested with rats, imported, at a considerable expense, a larger and stronger species, for the purpose of exterminating the others. 'The new-comers answered his purpose to a miracle; they attacked the native rats with such spirit, that in a short time they had the whole property to themselves; but no sooner had they done their duty upon the rats, than they extended thoir exertions to the cats, of whom their ttrenmh and si t lrmrrth enabled them completely to get the better; and since that last victory, Sir Charles Price's ruts, as thev am - called, have increased so prodigiously that, (like the i man in Scripture, who got rid of one devil, and was ! .. . .. tuiven possession or uy seven others,) this new species is now a greater nuisance to the island than all the others before them were together." opened The Cotton crop.

Mr. Boon said, before he proceeded to discuss the resolution, he would take leave to repel an unfounded attack made upon him in a public print in reference to his introduction cf the resolution. It was contain- ! eu in thu Telegraph of April last, and purported to be an extract from a letter written from this House. Mr. Boon here read the letter at length. The writer of it, he said, was unknown to him, but whoever he might be, he pronounced it to be a false, base calumny, with malice aforethought written. When he iirst submitted the resolution, it was suggested to him by a friend, that the House was thin. He accordingly withdrew it, at tho same timo distinctly sta ting that he would not then press it on account of the thinness of the House, and that he would take an! early opportunity to renew the motion. The idea intimated by the letter-writer, that he was -subserviont t tl.n L-itM.on nr tn i,no,;,i -. unworthy of replv. It was too contemptible for no tice, and he'should not have noticed the writer at all, were it not to repel the insinuation that ho was actuated by an insidious motive iu proposing the resolution. He held himself responsible to no authority but that of his constituents. He sent his proposed modification of the resulution to the Chair.
