Debate on the Mexican Treaty Appropriation

Debate on the Mexican Treaty Appropriation
The speech of Mr.. Benton. opposing the APP
preparation of ten millions of dollars by Congress-
for the purpose of executing the treaty with Mex
leo for the sale of Messlla Valley is said TO have
made a considerable impression ON the House, bat
it is not thought that the passage of the bill will be
affected by it. His argument seems to have
hinged mainly upon the invasion of the privileges
oft he House, in the origination of money bill
by any other than that branch of the government
Resistance to Executive encroachments is a novel
position for the defender of all the abuses of the
jackson, Van Buren, and Polk dynasties. Here
is the style in which he manages it:
Mr. Benton observed When the federal row.
eminent was framed, Patrick Henry objected 10
the constitution on the ground that the powers of
the purse and sword were given to the Executive.
He meant the unlimited power of raising money.
and navies and armies, and felt alarmed for the
possible consequences. If these two great powers
are to slip away from the many to the few, and to
go into the hands of the President, then there is
danger of Henry's apprehensions being realized.
He had been accustomed to hear it said by aged
men, that it illusory power granted to
Congress- that the real power was granted TO the
Executive, who conducts our foreign negotiations
who quarrels not. and when he does quarrel
our people will fight that we consider the
power of the sword which Patrick Henry dreaded
as having passed away from Congress.
With respect to the power of the purse, we
have a constitutional clause which confides to
this body the power to originate burdens on the
people Where did we get it From the Brit
ish constifution--from Magma Charia No. The
British government got it from their Saxon an
cestors, who carried it to Britain from Germany.
The English have venerated this privilege. and
the House of Commons alone has imposed bur
dens on the people. II is the pride, boast and
glory Of England, that she haS always preserved
