re-nominating the Bank Directors -
The committee would not feel that It had
fully acquitted itself Of It's obligations, e It
did nor avail itself Of this occasion TO call the
attention. Of the Senate to the general soeleet
Of Fe-nONninatioa.
The committee do not deny that right Of
Re-n0minati0n exists; but they are Of opinion,
That 10 very clear and strong cases only, should
the Senate reverse decisions which It has de-
liberalely formed and officially communicated
to the President. In military and naval APP
pointments Il Is possible that questions, not of
personal fitness Tor office, but of the right Of
individuals to rank aud grade, may arise be-
tween the President ana Senate; and that
nominations may be rejected, pending such
questions, which might properly be renewed
under other laws, or new state Of ciFcunl-
stances. And in regard, too, to diplomatic
appointments. the question may, perhaps,
sometimes turn. nut an the fitness Of the per-
son nominated. but an the propriefy Of any
appointment, or Of any such mission as = pro-
posed. Ef new information should be given,
shedding new tight satisfactory 10 the Senate.
in such case it might be a proper reason for
agreeing to nominations once rejected; nor
will the committee say that there may not be
other cases IN which person once rejected
may be prOperly again presented to the SEN
ate. Bot the COMMITTEES think that 10 a case
10 which the decision Of the Senate has been
deliberately made upon the sole question Of
the fitness 0f the persons for the Office to
which they are nominated, and It's assent has
been withheld, it ought not, without very
strong and clear reasons, to change that de-
cjsion upon Denomination. The commit
tee has caused the Journals of the Senate to
he examined Ia reference to tha practice Of
denomination, and they find that. dusing the
presidential terms Of General Washington,
Mn John Adams aud Mr.. Jefferson, no in
stance of re-no,ninatiOn 10 Office once occur
red; and yet there are not wanting instances
of the rejection ut nominations made by those
illustrious citizens, the motives Tor which i
would be difficult now To ascertaiu. To Illus
tratc this. it is only necessary to select the
case Of Col. Fishburn, a gallant soldier of the
revolution, who was nominated by General
Washington rs the cOllecfor Of Savannah,
and was. rejected by tho Senate. And. a.
! though the President was obviously mortified
ny the decisinDs the nominafi0n having been
made in a great measure upon his personal
/ knowledge Of the Individual, he contented
himself. after the rejection. with addressing
letter TO the Senate. containing his reasons for
the nomination of Colonel Fishburn; and
accompanied that message with the name oi
