TUESDAY, May 1.
AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION.
WI. uacon said he rose to call the atten.
ton OF the House to no less subject than
the Constitution of the u. S. The wise fra
mers ct the constitution had made it as per
fect as they could, and yet they had been
conscious that experience would discover
defects in it, and had therefore prescribed
mode for amending it. The constitution
(said Mr.. NJ forbids to members of Con
gress the acceptance of any appointment to
any Office which shall be created. or the
emoluments of which shall have been in
creased during the time for which they were
e!ectea. MY object is that no person, du-
fihg the Presidential term in which he has
Deen member, snail accept an appointment
from the Executive. Mr.. M. laid the fol-
lowing resolution OH the table, not meaning

resolved, by the Sesate aud House of
Representatives Of the u. States of America,
IN Congress assembled, two thirds of both
houses concurring, that the following sect.
on be submitted to the Legislatures of the
several states, which when ratified by the
legislatures of three fourths of the states,
shall be valid and binding as part of the
constitution of the US.
" No Senator or Representative after ha
wing taken his seat shall during the time for
1871 "c was eiooteu Oe englDie TO any CT
vii appointment under the authority of the
y. States, nor shall any person be eligible
TO any such appointment until the expira,i.

such person shall have been Senator or Re.
