HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES..
TUESDAY, March :.

Bill to prevent the fecretary of the ma
Wy rom trading, &c.
Mr.. S. Smith faid thecvident tendency
Of the bill was to prevent the executive
te!eeting mercantile men to fill theie ohic
es. lMr. Livingston moved to add the
secretaries Of fate and Of war. He wi(hed
to know what occurrence had tranipired to
make luch a prohibition necefary None
had been mentioned none he believed had
exihed. In the particular inRancc of pro-
hiblsing the iecretary ofthe trealnry from
engaging in trade, sc. there was more
reaion, rom his having in his pofleaion
much public money, and becaule it would
be extremely improper to open the means
for him to trade or lpcculate with it, but
there could not be the fame location for
prohibiting the other officers. If the pro-
hibltion was now to take place, it would
be fnppofed by the world, that The gentle
men who had filled theGe Offices had &C
tually traded with the money which pat
fed ;hro' their hands, belonging to the pub
lie. One ofthc gentlemen who was fecre-
tary at war, was, at the time he was cho-
fen to Office, commercial man, but was it
ever faid, or even thought, that he had act
ed dilhoneltly, or ufed public money to
private intereh !? He believed not he
thought there was no deficiency in his
integrity. Why then fhould the houfe
prevent the preGdent Of the United States
from choofing men for Office out Of what
clals Of citizens his judgment Of their ia
Tents might fuggeG' What, he would ak,
had commercial men had done to merit
this peculiar mark Of the dihruR from
the gentleman Of New York He wifhed
gentlemen to look at the revenue laws,
and the duties were they not paid by
commercial men? The amount Of their ac-
tual payments at the cuhom houie and
their general conduit, he thought, fully
evinced the honor and the honeity Of that
clafs Of men, and proved them worthy to
be entruaed, as we'll as other citizens, in
Offices oftruf.
But did the gentleman fuppofe his pro-
petition would effect his end Iffo, he was
miffakcn. For if a man entrufled with
public property choofe to ufe it in fpecula-
ton or in commerce, what was to prevent
him, whether merchant or not 7 Other
means could be found than thofc which
every one could difcovcr. He hoped the
amendment and the law itfelf would be ne
gatived. -
Mr.. Chrihie moved to poapone it till
90 minutes paft II o'clock.
IT was not carried.
Mr.. Livingston faid he had attended, in
vain to heahany diffinetion drawn between
the fecretary Of the navy, and thoie OF
| fate and of war. To that difference only
, the arguments ought to have went, for no
Alexandria advertiser and commercial intelligencer. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1800-1803, 1801-03-17

the bill. The argument of the motion
implying diarua, might have had fome
weight as the bill food before, but to in
clude the heads ofall the departments was
iufilcient anfwer to what was ufed upon
the motion. 1t was not upon grounds of
diftrut that he made his motion: it was
upon this wide, incontrovcrtible principle
that when a man is taken to fill either one
of thofe great departments, the country
has right to his whole time and his whole
attention, that the motion was made.
What, he would ak the gentlman latt up,
could have induced him to fuppofe, that
the merchant alone was pointed out as an
Object Of dihruit Mr.. l.. declared he diff
trutted no particular fet of men, but what
figure would merchant or trade!man
make at the head of either of thcle de-
partments {? The principle was incontro-
vertible, that nothing ought to interfere
to divert the attention from the public con-
Germs of a high Office. This was not a
paltry quetion between the merchant and
the lawyer: no more fhculd Judge Of the
United States be drawn from his ttudies or
his bench,'by any other avocation he might
with to poGels for lucre, than ihould ie-
cretary from his Office.
Mr.. l.. would further obiervc, that it
was not from any nilcondutt of this kind
which he had obferved in thcfe who had
filled public Offices: he rather wondered
that it had not long ere now, been intro
duced as a jult principle in the manage
mcnt of public concerns it was from this
view he wifhed to introduce it; ard how
the.reaions for the bill, without the amend
ment, could be fupported, he could not
conceive.
Mr.. II. Lee again contended that the
| prelident of the United States was to take
his cabinet from among the people of the
United States, and ought not to be prohi-
bited from felesting fuch men as he tho't
fit to fill the Offices with credit to them
felves and to the nation. Sir, faid he,
when / fee the preiident made the agent Of
thefe two houfes, and refrifted by them,
l fee that high officer profrate at your feet
and the liberties of the people gone! IF
gentlemen tell me that the preGdent has
yet his Election, becaufe the gentleman
might quit his bufnefs, ] deny it fay
that man once become a merchant and
continuing in thatoccupation for ten years,
is merchant for life; for let him leave
off purfuits at any period, there mutt of ne
ceaity remain very much unfniihed buff
nefs, which, if he fudies his own intereR,
muR be attended to. Sir, trammel not
your prefdent in his choice; let him have
the liberty of choofng men of honor and
integrity, and you need not fear dero-
CATION from thofe principles, more than it
might be feared from men of independence.
This new principle in legination I am not
for adopting; never can deyiate from
thofe Principles under which our happy
