ed, that by it, standing, the Rreasest

delegated to.the President, and 10 such
Adelegation he would never consent.
! Mr., Dana was Of the same opinion,
md addneed Arguments in FAVOR thereof !;
but he confined himself chiefly 10 answer
the gensleman from New York, Mr..
Mischell.1 He said, that that gentleman
referred Us . : subject with which hewas
web acquainted die comparison oflthe
powers Of the President, to those Of the
King Of Great Britain. The Legislature.
In the point Of view, offered, we're NOT
evens there N The King. There have
been Judges, who had told the King,
thatthough he might Sit in his courts sc
justice, he should MT give Judgment.
The frst part Of the present reign, the
Judges were made, by oct Of Parlia-.
ment, independent Of the King. The
gentleman, erfs in theory--he lerrs In
lact. He mus know thatthe King, does
not make ths Clergy -it i done 81 con.
vocation. The analogy, Is therefore,
not n point. The order ne refers to Is
ofiT9T. BY 1.-THE President may ap-
ointjudges, but they cannot Be remov.
ed dufing good behavior. II il propos-
ed By this Bill, thar the President shall
direct "a civil and military movements !;
that he may displarst hem Il his pleasure.
This would hc the very essence Of despo-
tism. Ills said, upon the vkfy face Of
the bill before us, that the President shall
oct IN az cases, until We can enact laws
and make provisions. 4 shall never CON-
senf TO it--if ID unconstitufional--i Is
deleeating The powers Of this house, and
these are my objections. ~ !.
Mr.. KarniEm said, the gentlemen, in,
making their objections to the bin, had
stumhled against great diiieulties--shey.
have mistaken their ground. We &C
quire ! large and valuable territory, un-.
der certain regulations and restrictions.
We have NOT acquired al the privileges
and imlhunities yet, because L Is ,tlpu-
lated IN the treaty, that France and Spain,
are 70 Be sntitled to the navigation Of the
Mississippi, for tvelye years. The gem
tiennen say thar we IRE going to give GER,
tain powersto the presidenE The CON-
stitntion Of the United States does not
take eject, on our taking possession If
Louisiana; no, Il win no., until lis IN.
corporafed into the union. HI he mean
time, We afeto render them protection.
What mean time Why the time which.
may elapse, from our taking possessiion,

union. Until dis provision IS made,
hey must be governed BY the laws 81
