sERvILlTY OF CONGRESS.

At late meeting of the Wings al Fa.
aeull Hall, Boston, AIR. Fletcher. the
member Of Congress from that city, adj
dressed the meeting. The folio owing is
extracted from his speech on the occa-
sion. 1t is proper to state that Mr..
Fletcher was membe Of the Commit
tee OF Ways and Means, of " hose AFFECT
servility he discusses
During the session, the business pro-
Jects, upon which the House was called
! to act, came almost entirely from the
| Committee of Ways and Means There
are nine members Of that committee, on
~ two Of whom are understood to be OPP
posed to the general policy of the admi
nistration. l suppose you would like TO
know the manner in which the business
was arranged for the House. | will tell
you the tCayS, the means you will all see
in due time. You doubtless suppose that
this Committee Of Woys and Means has some
duty 10 do;-some ways TO devise, some
means 10 find out some plans 10 originate
and mature for Inc action Of the House The
| committee, you imagine, look over the mes
sage, see what is recommended 10 be done
for the benefit ofthe country; consult lugelb
er as 10 the best measures and lay the re>
| suit Of their deliberations before the House.
Is this your idea, MIR. President, Is this
what you think, fellow citizens? Hit is,
AIN sorry 10 inform you, that you labor under
very great mistake. ! once entertained he
same ideas; but soon found my error. No
such thing, sir-Do such thing The chair
man of the committee steps up 10 the White
House, and there receives lreuT the Presi-
dent, or The Secretary OF the Treasury such
bills as they wish to have passed by the House
The ChsiFma puts The bills into his pocket,
takes them to the committee without any
examination, the majority oil the COMMITTEES
approve them ); the minority can do nothing;
the bills arc presented 10 the House, and fe-
ceived as The dUings oi the committee.
81 aver TO you that every important bill
passed by The House, came TO the House
ready dTaWn, from the Executive. The Re-
representatives. arc mere machines. Every
measure is an Executive measure. ] mean
by The Executive, the President, and the
heads Of departments the cabinet They
originate every thing, pot every thing in the
precise shape they wish, word for word, let
ter, for letter, comma for comma mud The
Executive maturity in The House pass each
bill forthwith, without alterotion-and so far
| as depends upon them, without debate, Just
az il comes from their masters al tho W bhe
House

vast extent | soIemnly warn you agaIns,
This terrible concentration OF power in the
