HlCli.ViOND JUNR 29. 18J0
TO JAMES MADISON,
President of the United Stales.
SIR,
The man, vdin now addresses you. i
your Friend. From the earliest dawn ol hi
years, down to ihe present moment, he Iih
felt but one sentiment towards you. H
loves your virtues—he reveres your wisdor
-he approves of yout course, as a poli
iic<ui. What substantial proof has he n<
% •''.•n of the smceiity of those feelings?—
When you were a candidate for the first of
fice in tlie U. States, he exerted uii Iris pi>or
abilities in your behalf-he wished to place
you in the most important office, in the gift
of it free people. Since you have been •.be
President of the U. States, lie has approved
your administration——lie lias aided it with
all the resources in his power—and under
the favor of Providence lie will yet pepti.
mte to support you, so lot:;; as yeu should
persevere in the enfirse, wh.cli you have
inaiked out for yourself.
Hut though he is your friend, lie is still
more* the mend of his c. untry Plato ami..
|cwa, sed magi* arnica fiairia. — Uv approves
j ot your administration, but tie is no paru_
| s'ue of power. H.-sidcs, it is not always the
< ffice ol a tiiend to no silent. X'u h is
I sometimes tiie most valuable of all dispen..
• s i:ions. He, wim.-drives in the honest ze.tl of
a generous spirit, to convince me of any mis
| lakes, will deserve any oilier appellation
I than that of an enemv. Princes, presidents
• with regal powers, men inves ed with djs
I tingnislied offices, are generally the last to
j wish lor advire, tlr ugh they are the first to
^want it- l be atmosphere, which they
: breathe, is saturated with incense and am.,
jbro.-da. The voice of truth c annot always
j pierce it. t hey have not always the mag
nanimity to hear of their own mistakes ; and
their cars are therefore engrossed by a set
I of political earwigs, wh i glide into the uve
inues of c: nfidencc, only to abuse it.
■ bir, 1 shall not scan the ac s of your ad
j ministration, in the search of faults—But
I there are two appointments which yon have
made, against which my principle's are in
arms. 1 iuse app linvineius are slated in
the following terms :
Hacklier Tliursinn, of Kentucky, an’assis
taut judge of the circuit court of the district
of Columbia.
Henj intin Howard, of Kentucky, governor
of the Terri ory of Louisiana.
Now, Sir, it is not my wish to censure
these appointments, on account ot the men,
whom you have appointed Their qn.dilica
tions may be, in every respect suitable to
the powers, which they ex1 cute. The
hands of Mr Howard may b fi.iedln wield
tlie sceptre-o* Governor over 'he wiids of
Louisiana—and the mind of Mr. Thurston
may he commensurate to the ta k of unsealing
lihe fountains of justice to ihe di> rictofC.i
ji’imuia—i-iut against the /irincifile of these
| appointments, 1 must enter my pi utc-t 1
I "'V ’f down as a rule, s:r. chat i; is wnm^ for
, the 1 iL^'drnt ot the U S. to draw any man
t from his -eat, in either house of Confess, by
: the pis.fTer of anv appointment within hi>
| gilt The same lule extends to the Heads
of Departments. Not, that there aro not
:s mt members ofC ogress, who are fit for
j Executive Offices and nothing else—not
I that Mich a man, as Matthew I,yon, is in any
j respect^ disqualilv.d tor a contractor or a
tide wni n —hut,that so long as he is invested
\vi b the legislative character, it is the duty
&1 the President to leave it around him.
Flic Lxecu ive and Legislative depart
meins have, each of them, their peculiar
spheres ol action—each of diem should plav
freely within th"se respective spheres.—
In tin. making of Laws.it is for the membets
ol Congress to have a simple eye to the in
terests of their country. It is for them to de
cide upon the merits of every question, that
conies before them, without either hope or
tear, without compulsion or reward_From
• Ire moment that they are led astrav by such
inducements, ft .wing from thq Executive
branch of the government, they are shorn of
their Representative character—they cease
■ (» be tilt agents ot the people, to become the
l on s of the Executive.
W hat »• onldyou think of a body of Legls
iutois, who should pass tlieir laws, under the
very beard wf a body of troops i Would you
expect them to be independent in their
sentiments and patriotic in the r legislation?
I heie m'gtit be some one individual among
hem, who would tlely the frowns and tile
swords of the soldiery--but doubtless the
a.aj >rity would shape their course according
to he will ol the despot.
J..VC lists me same tn.*cts as Apprehen„
he sword* of the soldiers mayinti..
initiate ; bribes and pensions, and appoint,
meins may corrupt the judgment. In both
rases, the legislator becomes the mre in
strument ot' him, who wield* the steel or ad
ministers the gold.
i he Trench Legislature is the mere sha_
•law of the court. Nor is it wonderial. Hie
French government principally rules by the
sword; but the fear of punishment as well
os the hope ot distinction conspire to give
die most unbounded effect to the wishes of
the Emperor
flow is it in England ? ——• There are. no
troi.ps to irown the House of Commons into
submission-and yet now proverbial is tile
•iscrutd.ncy of the Crown! 1 lie causes are
wed known. I heir system of representa
tion is unsound from the boctmu ; tiie ..vie
are in the first instance tricked out of their
right? by the aid ot ro'ten boroughs, i heir
representatives enter the walls of S’. S e
plum s( h;.pel where they are at r.nce encir*
c.n! by the ministers of the crown,with bribes
ami pen-..nns and offices sparkling in their
> .ud Unless they have souls, that soar
ah temptiiti m. adieu to virtue, to irule
pe"dencc, to all l.,ve of chid ry !
It has (men truly said i f England, that
she can be “i.i h ruined through her par
liament. And the meaning ot (he maxim
is, that so soon as the purity of pa’ liamcnt is
g'ne, and its members become the mere
too!s <.f tlie court, every vestige o liberty
will be swept away into the abyss of despo..
tism. lim in the same proportion in which
they approach this degeneracy of pa.-li*
ment, in the same degree will the min of
die nation be atchievetl. I’he. history of the
few las: years proves the fnct.
Sir, it ever the Executive branch, in this
Country, acquires an undue ascend -.ncy over
the legisla‘U’(•, it will not be, a-> it is now in
France, thro* the sword—but by corru/ition,
as it is in (J. lint., jn. It is true, sir, that
no filacrnsun or f:nunoncr ran si’ on the fl tor
of Congee s, ns they do in Parli line ot- but
places and appointments may now be scat
H ied among those, win* sit on that floor—
He, who accepts, is from that moment, (1 is
qnalifv d from his seat ; and h- c .in acce/n
during the time/ »• which he was dic ed
in* civil effice, • which shall have been cre
ated, or the eii.oiiioienis whereof slial
hive been encreamd during such time."—
So says the n i.sti'u ion of un- U. S»an
and this provision ia looked upon by thi
Teneralist. ’ (No 7j) an one *• importan
guard against the danger of executive in
nuencc upon th~ T gisl.- ive btxly ** Hut win
d >es not the constitution go further f S>. n
sible was M>- Macon of mis imperfection
that during the last session of Congress, h
moved an amendment to the ccnviuutiou n
these words, that ;
" Senator or lie preservative after ha
vmg taken fir ,
which he was elected, be eligible to any ci
vil appointment ur.rler the authority of the
United States, nor shall any person beeligi
ble to such appointment until the expi
ration of the Presidential term, during which
person s'ijII have been a Senator or
Representative.’*
Will you mark the danger of this distri
bution of offices ? Will not the Senator or
Representative, who wishes for an F.xecu
tive gilt, always take cave to consult the
I xecutive wishes, in his measures & rotes ?
Instead of watching the misconduct of *he
President, will lie not connive at it? Will
u-»t Cerberus sleep, because he wishes for a
sop? If the President should have evil de„
| signs to accomplish, here then are insttu.
meats disciplined to his hand. A t.;ir cx
change is s-truck between them. Tim one
barters hjs conscience for the office_.just
ns much, as if he wne to |j.,rtti apiece of
land for a piece of gold.-«I know it is ini
possible tohribe both houses of Congress bv
such temptations—I know that there are
some oi them who are too virtuous to catch
the contagion—but it is certain that in pro
| portion to the extent of this corrupti rt, will
i be the. min of public morals and of public
spirit.
Sir, the means of the Executive, fur
these purposes, are by no means contempti
ble. Are not offices of alums- every descrip
tion within his patronage ? During Mie year
1793, Mr. Galla'in* isfnna'ed the atnoittii
within his gift at S 2.000.0* >0. And where
the mere lust of lucre c iuld not sway the
man, there are offi :rs of distinction to invite
and soothe his ttnibif-on.
Bid, Sir, it may lie said, that if you deny
a representative die privilege of taking an
oliicr*. he will not go to Washington at all —
his services will be lost toiiis (. ountry. Sir,
it is better, that h:s talents should be buried
tor ev-r, th ui that they should be drawn
lo th by such mercenary motives. Rut what
faith can be placed in the virtues of a legis
lator. who goes to Congress as he would to a
market-—-osell his talents to the best ad
vantage?-But the fact is not so-Mr.
Marshall tells us in his life of Washington
(I quote his facts; heaven save me from
bis inferences !) that “the constitutional pro
hibition to appoint any member of he legis
lature to an office crea'ed during the time for
which he had been elected, might be consi
dered. in some degree, as an exclusion of the
most dis inguishecl person ig-s in \ni.'vica
from the first Congress ! Tins had no. bjen
produced.
But it may be urged, that “ the President
has no better way of selecting men for office,
than chose 'lie-e who n he is, acqu unt< d ' ith;
th;rt this is one of tlie most dHicate & \et
difficult branches of his power ; that hectn
nor personally know every man he appoints,
he must depend upon the assurances of
others who do know hem ; hat he has only
one pair of eves Ec ears, & mast therefore
mike use of those of others ; that he is not
placed upon an elevated pinnacle from
whence he may survey the characters of the
most competent men tn the different districts
of the U. S. that therefore he must trust to
the representations of others, who are fre
quently solicitous to abuse his confidence,
or are seldom as conscientious as they ought
to be in giving leco-nrocndaMons of character
to these c ;ndida'es whom they may not wish
to offend by refusal; that as Feneian truly
says," the wisest kings, whatever is their
precaution, are otten deceived ; a king can
not do every thing himself ; he mu_t there
fore have ministers Sc in these ministers (or in
others) tie must confide that under such
circumstances, is it iu>t the duty of the Fre
sidet t, to appoint such men us he himself
knows ; Sc among the r st, members of Cong
gress ?”
Sir, this \s a plausible plea ; hut it is
not a ji.st one. Because certificates of
character may he abused, must the puri
ty ofCongtess be contaminated ? The Pie- i
sident will generally have a sett of friends, !
on whose lirmne s and information he may :
rely, in all great appointments, to preserve
him from any very grievous impositions._
Besides, sir, my proposition will not debar
hnn from the right of appointing his ac.. i
q lamtances, who have sat on the floor of I
Congress-after they have laid down that :
character, with which the people have in- !
vested them. Until that moment, has he !
a right to rob the people ox their representa
tive, or a state of its senator? Under every |
point of view, therefore, it veins evident to !
me, that the mischiefs of ibis pme ice are I
greater than the conveniences which it may !
promire.
Far lie it from me, to insinuate, that von
arej| susceptible | of tlie desire of employing
these powers fur the acquisition of any in- j
fiuence over the legislative branch of the |
government. No, sir, I utterly disclaim i
such an imputation. I believe you have a
soul that soars “a sightless distance" above j
such groveling ambition. You have done '
only, what your predecessors have done be .
lore you.—Hut if precedents of this des j
cription can have such commanding elf.-ct |
upon your own conduct, what effects may j
not your own arquiesence produce upon your j
successors f Remember, sir. that :he strong 1
cst Precedents generally begin in the best!
ot times ; that it is toe popularity of the *
President tliat gives its popularity to the!
Prcc 'dent ; that there are some chief nut !
gistraies, wh- se measures would be qu »ted as
beacons to warn, & not examples t., guide ; ;
but that, when such illustt ions men, as Thos. I
J1 ff-rson pronounces the law, posterity will
imitate the steps of the man, whose numu
ry is dear to them.
