History Of the United state. Senate.


The recent debate in this august body relative to its
practice and method of proceeding has satisfied us that
condensed history Of its acts from the foundation of the
government would be interesting readers and use
full to the country. AT the beginning of government
under the constitution in 1885, the leading statesmen Of
that day entertained very dieren, opinions from those
now current in relation to it, functions and power 1t
was then regarded sort OF prvy council to the Pes
dent sitting with closed doors generally, and neither ex
ercsng arrogatng any peculiar claims public a,ten
ton The first in the nation who became members of
that body gradually faded from the observation of the
people. and underwent the process which William Pitt,
the "Great Commoner," 40 graphically described when
he said he had "hid his head in coronet" By almost
insensible degrees this character OF the Senate has
changed. and il is deemed the most conspicuous
theatre on which ability and eloquence be displayed
We will devote earliest leisure slime to the e.pos
ton OF the and influences that have brought about
this extraordinary development of new characteristics and
authority in the practical and theoretical agency of the
federal Senate in public affairs The inquiry is alike
