Mr.. CLAYToN's OPINION AS TO THE DUTY OF THE

From volume XII of Gales and Seaton's Register of
Debates in Congress, page 504, (Feb. II, 1850 we
notice that Mr.. Clayton takes high and ultra ground
upon the which tae Senate should pursue in
acting upon the nominations Of the President. He
says:
'Ths Senate ought 10 k,loo the ground upon rchich

Senate it was account of political principles he,

"Impeachment seemed to be the only restraint on en-
ecutiUe pocer contemplated by the constitution And
where that power exercised by the President for
sclfaggnndizement and political purposes all ,oould
agree that he ought 10 be impeached Mr.. c. said The

would be opporiune. We hope the Senate will act

joitIng of common roads. the ease and rapidity
OF travelling on the Plank Road absolutely delight

eight feet long, and the earth graded side Of
an equal height with the panks FIR the purpose of
turning off on passing other teams. Many appre-
hended that this would answer, that the clay part
of the rad would becOIne cut up and ruted that
teams could not turn off it without danger of be-
ing stalled. These fears were pleased 20 notice.
