Extract from the speech Of Mr.. Webster deli.
vered in the Senate, February 10, 1885, on the
appointing and removing power ofthe President
The unlimited power to grant office,
and TO take it away, gives a command
over the hopes and fears Of vast multi
tude of men. 1t is generally true, that he
who controls another mans means of liy-
ing controls his will. When there are
lavors TO be granted, there are usually
enough to solicit for them. and when IA.
vors once granted may be Withdrawn at
pleasure. there is ordinarily little security
Tor personal independence of character.
The power ofgivinS Office thus affects the
The fears OF all who are in, and the hopes
OF all who are out. Those who are out
endeavour TO distinguish themselves by
active political lriendsbip-by warm per-
sonal devotion by clamorous support of
men IN whose hands is the power of re-
ward. While those who are in, ordinari.
~ take care that others shall not surpass
them in such qualities, or such conduct,
as are most likely to receive favor. They
,ccso!ve not to be outdone in any of the
works O. craftsmanship, The consequence
of all this is obvious a competition enspes
not of patriotic la ors, NOT Of rough and
severe tolls for the pu5lc good-not OF
manliness, independence anu public spi-
rit, but Of complaisance, indiscriminate
support of Executive measures, Of plant
subserviency and gross adulation. All
throng and rush together TO the altar Of
man-worship, and there they offer sacrifi
ccs and pour out libations Till the thick
fumes Of their incense turn their own
beads, and turn also the head Of him who
is the object Of their idolatry. The pat.
ronage OF olli:e-;he power of bestowing
place aid emoluments, create parties, not
upon any principle or any measure. hnt
upon The single ground Of personal inter-
est. Under the direct influence Of this
motive, they form round leader, and
they go for "the spoils of victory" And
if the party chieftain becomes the national
cheltain, he is still TOO apt to consider all
who have Supported him as friends to be
rewarded. Blind devotion TO party, and
10 the head OF party, thus take place of
generous patriotism. and high and exalt
| ed sense OF pubic auty.

Extract from lstter from gentleman in
Paris 10 friend IN Washington.

"The pacific accounts from Washing
ton have had the happiest effect here.
The conciliatory disposition of Congress.
as indicated IN the Senate, has produced
gradual return Of that good feeling so long
existing between the two countries. and
has induced all parties to concur in de-
SIRE 10 have the question settled The
treaty was very obnoxious 10 Fance, and
their reluctance and opposition natural.
u not Justltiable in all respects
The Government Of Napoleon and the
Bourbons had always refused their assent
TO these claims. The adherents of these
respective dynasties considered the treaty
concession which their friends had never
made. The Republicans. with all their
kindred feeling for oar country and IFS in
stitutlons, saw France groaning under
weight of debt and Taxation the result of
the expressions of half century, and
thirty years revolution, and did not like
TO see the Citizen King" take the re-
sponsibility to make treaty TO paw mo-
ney without the sanction Of the Peoples
Representatives
!" France did not care so much for five
millions, but all France saw in the asser
ton Of the preroga,ive of the King, the
night to bind lie nation to pay money by
treaty, without the previous consent Of its
Representatives, an approach TO the abso.
lutism and despotism Of Louis the 18th.
which plunged the nation iato revolution
and civil war.
France had been the friend and ally
OF America, and bad expended blood and
money in assisting them in achieving
their independence. The Americans, had
they said, grown rich, whilst France was
undergoing the same ordeal in their strug.
gle for free institutions. France was al.
most desolated in that struggle. The pres
sure OF the American claims, for the acts
of Napoleon, upon their new "Citzen
King" was not well received. The fur.
Their attempt to dragon France because
her Representatives set up a principle of
Republican Government and constitution
al liberty, by their Republican friends,
caused deep feeling of modification and
disgust. The proceedings in the Con.
gress have checked this, and they receive
the opinions and sentiments of Congress
as the views and sentiments of the Amer
can People.

tistied them that the debt is due The
