connection between the president and the
treasury of the United States, as between
himself and the other departments. He
has unquestionably the right to remove
the secretary of the treasury, as all the
other secretaries-in all cases of abuse of
office, neglect, corruption, incapacity, of
mal'easance or misfeasance- but never
without the strongest necessity many case
where particular power seems to have
been explicitly committed by law to the
secretary.
We do not understand the president to
dispute, in the abstract, the secretary's
right to Judge of the way in which this
power is to be exercised. In his letter.
he expressly says: "The power of the
secretary of the treasury over the depos
ties is unqualified. The provision thathe
shall report his reasons to congress is nc
&c.
The president disclaims all desire 10
dictate to the secretary of the treasury
but only to press upon him his own "yiew
OF the considerations which mpel TO i'm,
mediate action" If these views were
not conclusive upon the mind of the sec
rotary, 1t appears to US, that the presi-
dent ought to have been content with do
ing his duty, and leaving the responsibility
where the law had left it, in the hands of
The secretary. The president might have
in the mean time, obtained Information as
to the best mode of depositing the public
monies in the state banks--and laid these
facts, along with the gross abuses of which
The bank had been gnity, before congress
and his countrymen at the next session.
For this cause alone, he should not have
removed the secretary, and appointed
substitute. A people Jealous of its llber-
ties, should watch the exercise of the ex-
ecutlve powers in all cases; and particu
larly where the public purse is concerned.
The most virtuous chief magistrate may
be led into error. His very virtues may
betray him. His gnationagainst the
abuses of others, may prompt him to thei
adoption Off remedy which heerroneous-
ly considers within the strict line of his
duty.
But 3dly, what are the facts of the case (?
Dio nc ouPGIseuc tne secretary! and Tor
what cause? If the secretary did not re-
sIgn--but if the president removed him,
as seems TO be agreed, then the next oues-
ton is, 'lor what cause did he remove
him? II he removed him, because of a
difference of opinion on the deposites. we
think the president has erred however
pure were his motives. But, if there
We're any other circumstances connected
with his removal; any difference between
these two officers, of character not vet
developed to the world, it will become us
TO judge of the whole transaction, when
it is clearly and fully explained in all its
circumstances. Its highly probable, that
these transactions will, at no future day,
be submitted to the public.
