MU. G HUNDY'S SPEECH. The following extract from Mr. Grundy's Speech will he found to contain impetrtant and extended argument and views on the subject of which it treats. It is worthy of perusal. We have heard much upon the sub tcct ol removals horn otlice. borne gentlemen have charged the administra . . ... "u" -1 " " uaV ,u " .d.1,u . av,uuu' ( Holmes; still bolder than the rest, has charged it with "glutting its ven pcatice upon its enemies. 1 like not this nrcdatorv warlarc. I now chal pne rrentlemen to come out boldlv and i: .i.i. . ... i T1 l " frankly, not calling to their aid passion or feeling; these are poor auxiliaries in inquiries after truth. In this way I wil endeauor to examine this subject, and afterwards will make some remarks spe i tiauy iui iuc iminiwn muiu Elaine (Mr. Holmes. ) The question, as insis ted on by the other side, is, that the Se nate has the Constitutional right to ex amine into, and judge of the propriety of removals from office, and to contro the executive in the discharge of this branch of his duty. We say the Senate possesses no sucn authority, and that our power is confined to the question o fitness or unfitness of the person nomi ntrl tn c.irrPr.,l 1 think I hnv tat, proceed to its discussiun. 1 his is a sub Ject of Ercal delicacy. It not only re lates to the powers of the House. I we decide that the President has not this nower. we determine in favor of our owr.. We should approach this subjee with rcat Caulion, lest we be misted by the idea whichttornclimcs influences the human mind, that power is always dan gcrous in the hands of others, ihougl entirely harmless in our own; and more especially should wc act warily when we recellcct that, for forty years, ever since this government went into operation, the bottomed, upon a legislative construe-1 tion ol the Constitution, made by the! I House oi itcprcscmainiTi, mc oenare, it .. . . ti ... . .1 and President of the United States, in the vear 1779.

In the first place, wc will examine who poiscses this power of removal under the Constitution. The r;reat, disiinuishing, and characeritic Principle in our institutions, State and r i .i i- . .. I ?eucra,1' ,s thf separate, distinct, and in i "it : uiucrcnr ue pai ttnents, Legislative, Judicial, and Kxcutivc; and on ev ry question of this Vir.d, telctencc should ba had to this

leading feature in our go o nment In ihe first section of the second article of the Constitution it is provided, thai "tho Executive power shall be vested in a President of the United Statesof America," U.c. Had nothing more been said in the Constituti n, all seem to admit, that the power ol appointment and c moval would exclusively belong to I c President as a branch of Executive . utl ority,and apperr'n o him as the Chief Magistia e of 'e N i"n In the second sec ior of the t 'de, his powers a e enurirated, u.d ppointment to office is c of them; but in making the appoint' n , ne must obtain the advice and constiaot the Senate. This constitutes an exception to the gcneial rule, that the departmen'sare to be sepaiate and distinct, and there is widom in this provision. The Iramers of the Cmsti-

ution foresaw what all experience has proved under this government, that a 'resident with the best intentions, and anxious only to promote the general good, might make a selection of an indildual, through want of correct mformaion, who would be deficient in moral or intellectual worth. This has happened under every administration. When ibis occurs, and the name of the individual is placed before the Senate, a strict scrutiny is ins ituted, and if upon eaminalon, he is found unworthy, he is withrawn by the President, or rejected by he Senate. In making this investiga tion into the chatacter and qualifications of the in ividual nominated, the Senate ias the aid of the senators of the state in which he resides, who are generally ac quainted, and know whether the Preidenthas been misled by information received from others. Thus far ihe Con stitution expressly authorizes the Senate to act in aid of, and in conjunction with, he President of the United States, ar d no further. If further Joint action were deemed proper, it could easily have been expressed. Exfircssio uniii8, eat cxclusio altcrim. Was there any necessity or propriety in giving the power now contended for to the Senates 11 it can be shown that it would do injury, and destroy the harrr onious operations of the government, it ought not to be considered as existing in this body, unless clearly pien. Thus far we'have considered the mode by which an individual gets into office. i he question arises, how is he to be g tten out, and by whom: So soon as an Executive ofiicer is appointed, he is placed under the immediate inspectioQ and control of the President, who becomes intimately acquait ted with his qualific ations Are his ta'eots equal o his station? Has he integrity, industry, and all those other qualities, which will enable him to discharge his duties bene ficially to the countrj? II so, the probability is strong in favor of his being retained, unless his place can be as fvcll or better supplied On ihe other hand, 'he Picsident discovers a deficiency It is his duty to remove bin; and then, according to the argument on the otier sides, the case comes before the Senr tc for trial I suppose. The Senate will i ot take the will of Ihe PteHt'ent a the rule of its decision; for if it should, no valuable purpose could be nl tained by ihe action ol the Senate. We arehin to inquire whether this man hall be retained? We must not make a mo kery of it; he must have a fair inal, and as necessary incidents to it, wmirsms and counsel must be heard; and you thus place the Chief Magistrate ol the runtry in the odious attitude of a pnb'ic ptosccutor, who may fail ?o mak out his case, as nothing is more true than that a fact may exist to the satisfaction ol all men, and yet not be provable before a Judicial tribunal. Suppose -he Sc atc should deride that the oftv . r shall n-H be removed, say tbe Secretary of State. He is sent back as he first confidential adviser of the Pi estdent, wbo has already pronoU"Cd hirn unworthy of confidence, and not fit to be trusted What kind of a Cabinet will yuu have, made up and forced to remain together, ol such matr rial? Shou d the Secre'ary of the Treasury, in the absence of the Srnate, be about to secrete all the n oney ol the Govern nent, will it do to wait to take the advice of the Senatr as to his removal In time of da'gerand contest, the Sccri tary at War i- in hc act of be tray -i g the armies of the United States int dent watt and ak the Senate what i t" be don ?
