POLITICAL SPECULATIONS-No. 3.
 Having examined the doctrines of the Presden. in relation the power, and having that he in eec, controls Legislation by the free he makes of it, and his claims 10 be supremewe will now proceed examine the powers of removals and appointments exercised by him, and his construction of tha, cau of the constitution authorizing him 10 6ll vacancies
 The clause reads ihus:-"The President shall have the power to M up all vacancies that may happen d"- ring the recess of the Senate by granting commissions which shall expire the end ol the next session."
 Now any plain common would say that this clause of the constitution ony gave him power to fill such vacancies as might happen by deah resigna- ton, or mpe achment. No one would suppose it gave him the power of displacing falhful officer solely for political should suppose f the incum- bent disc hargi"g the duties of,he office according No the law, he remain there, at least Justice would say it. It may be said that # nn incumben, should squander the public money, be guilty gross violations of law, he ought to be removed at once and unless the president has this power Of removal he might do a vast amount of mischief before the Senate could get together 10 advise with the President. But if a man who had character that would enliiIe him 10 an ofice and in the opinion of the President and Senate was proper man for the staion. should be- come so base and reckless of it as be guilty of such act, there is a way to remedy the difficulty without much trouble, and preserve the constitution u"impar ed for the moment man was found violating he trust, he might he arrested for malcOnduct, and the moment he was arrested a vacancy would happen and the President could supply it. But 1.-the construction given this clause of the constitution by the President is correct that he has the power of turning any man of office that he nominate, and tha. too with assigning any reasons, thea another part of the constitution becomes wholly nuga.Ory; for in the 2d section of the 2d article are these words: He (ihe Presdent shall nominate, and by and with the advice of the Senate shall appoint" GEc. Now according the doctrine of the Old Roman, he the moment the Senate adjourn displace any they have apprO- we'd, and appoint that will do his bidding, thereby in effect wholly abrogating ihe constitutional powers of the Senae this suhjec. Nay, more, he can in spite of the Senate, any other branch of the gov erament, continue a man in office in whom the Sem ae House of Representatives the people, have not the least shadow of confidence For f the Senate do not approve of his nomination, he can, they adjourn, nominate the same again-and thus con. tinue him as hts adviser, the Senate to the contrary notwithsa nding-and this he has done in the Ol l Samuel Gwynn.
