The Debate ON the Post Office Appropri-
| the President.
The Senate on Friday voted down Mr.,
Trumbulls amendment to the Post Office
Appropriation bill. This amendment was an
extreme radical measure. 1t proposed to de-
prive the President ola power recognized rs OK
clusively lis since the foundation of the govern
ment, and it proposed 10 do this, expressly and
unblushingly, for party purpose. IL has been
said that the Senate OF the United States was
no longer a national body, but simply party
organization--a republican caucus. And Mr.
Trumbul asked the Senate to acknowledge and
declare that fact by a formal vote. His amend
ment was that no person appointed to office by
the President should receive pay until con
frmcd by the Scnate-a proposition based or
the knowledge that the quarrel of Congress
with the President was not one Of principle
but of party merely and on the consequen
fear that it would be influenced greatly by thu
party spoils, the fear that radical doctrine
would lose many adherents and the Presiden
make many supporters, if he should use th,
appointing power freely upon the adjourn
ment of the Senate IL was an appeal 10 thu
Senate to legisatc the radical faction into con
tinued power. Mr.. Trumbull virtually said &
the Senate, We, the republicans, have
majority here and can vote what we please
We have also great strength with the country
but we must all acknowledge that the power o
the spols is so great and Of our principles 81
little that n large number OF our adherents II
Office will go dead against us rather thar
lose their places. Let us therefore pas
this measure TO prevent the Prcsiden
from using the appointing power for our ruin
