REMARKS OF MR.. WEBSTER.

Mr.. President: AS it is highly probable
that our proceedings on this nomination will
be published deem it proper to state short
ly the considerations which influenced my
opinion and will decide my vote.
regard this as very important and del
icate question. 1t IS full of responsibility !;
and feel the whole force of all that re-
spensiblity. While have been IN the Sen
ate, have opposed no nomination of the
President except for cause; and have at
all times thought that such cause should be
plain, and sufficient; that it should he real
and substantial, not unfounded or tunciful.
IEave never desired, and do not now de-
sire, 10 enrroach, in the slightest degree, on
the Constitutional powers Of the Chief Mag
strate Of the Nation. have heretofore
gone far, very far, in asserting to nomina-
tions which have been submitted to us. |
voteIl for the appointment Of all the gentle
men who composed the first Cabinet have
opposed no nomination of foreign Minis
ter, and have not opposed the nominations
recently before us, for the re- organization
ofthe Administration. have always been
especially anxious, that in all matters relat-
ing to our intercourse with other nations,
the utmost harmony, the greatest unity of
psrpose, should exist between The President
and the Senate. know how much of use
fulness such harmony and union are cacu-
lated to produce.
am now fully aware, Sir, that it is a Sc
rlous, very serious matter to vote against
the confirmation of Minister to Foreign
Court, who has already gone abroad, and
hns been received, and accredited, by the
Government 10 which he is sent. I am
aware, that the rejection of this nomination.
and the necessary recall of the minister, will
he regarded by foreign States, at the first
blush, as not in the highest degree favora-
BILE to the character Of our government. |
know, moreover, to what injurious refIec-
tons one may subject himself especially in
times Of party excitement, by giving n neg
alive vote, on such nomination. Bnt after
all, am placed here to discharge duty.
am not to go through a Formally am to
perform substantial and responsible duty.
am to ddrise the President in matters Of
appointment. This is my constitutional OBJ
legation; and | shall perform it conscien-
tlously and iearlessly. | am hound to say.
then, sir, that for one, do not advise nor
consent to this nomination. do not think

sons are found in the letter of Instruction,
