Y January 18, 18 If. , Mr. bRO*V?NOK. of tiew-York, opolOg*xeti t<? the House for rising at so fete W hour, [it was p?at 4 o'clock.] He UW& lwe had abandoned his intention to ad dress th% HotiSe tipon th? question befure them, and he should not have resumed it, for the Inert S/pur pose of discussing the merits of the bill of last session, now pro posed to be repealed. The merits of that measure appealed to him to have been ably feint] amply examined* Several gen < lemeti bad triumphantly Vindicated the law.? Among them, Mr. C. said, he had heard with peculiar satisfaction the able, manly and constitutional speech of the honorable gentleman from 8outh Carolina, ^Mr. Calhoun) (Mr. G. paused a moment and then proceeded.] *Mr. Speaker, I will not be restrained, no barrier Shall exist trlitch I will n<H leap over for the purpose bf offering to that gentleman my thanks for the judicious, Independent and nation* al course Which he has pursued in this House fo?r the last twb years, and particu* larly uoon the subject now before us. Let the honorable* gentleman continue With the same manly independence* aloof from party vieWs, and local prejudices, to pur I sue tbe great Interests of his country ? and fulfil the high destiny for which it is manifeit be was bom. The buza of po* pular applause may not cheer him on his ^ way | but he Will inevitably arrive at a high and happy elevation in the view of his country and the world~*-and to those who- surrender their conscience, theitr judgment and their Independence at the tihrine of popular caprice and clamor, he shall finally hold the same relation, that the Eagle in his towering flight holds to the grovelling Buzzard. No gentleman baS been bold enough to encounter his ar gument of yestbrday. No gentlfcman could encounter H without a sure pros pect of discomfiture. It is unnecessary to add, said Mr. Grose venor, that 1 agree with that gentleman In al) his views of the propriety, import* ance and necessity of the bill of last station It is perfectly notorious, hardly a gen tleman, be he for or against that bill, has denied, that an increased pay to the mem bers of Congress was essential to their comfort and support. By the deprecia tion of the coin, the old per diem pay had sunk to half its original value? and the bill of last session did not restore the, pre sent members to an equality of compen sation, whh those who Were hefe in the first years of our constitution. Nor can any gentleman who has experienced the erpHWi of A temporary residence at the Capital, pretend for a moment, that tbe compensation of last session is a lavish allowance, for servioes of gentleman, tin tier circuimtauces like those which sur round the members of this House. But, Mr. Speaker, this view of the sub ject sinks into insignificance, when com pared with another fit at exhibited by th* gentleman from Louisiana, (Mr. Robert son) and enforced by the gentleman from South Carotrna*. ? ? ~~The purity"," dignity and Independence of this Houses the interest and safety of the people, the durability and spirit of the government, all demanded an increased compensation^ Talents, integrity and political experi Jtnce, can be kept on this floor only by something like a remuneration lor the serl vices of those who possess them. Not, Mr. Speaker, a full remuneration ; but such a reward as will enable the posses sors of them, without becoming u worse than infldels,"to devote them to the good of the country. Is it not important to the existence of the government, to the safety of the peo ple, that talents* Integrity, independence and political experience! should be placed and continued here ? Look at the power and patronage ttf the Executive. Armies* navies, revenues, with all their hosts Of de pendents, with the whole civil lists ofoffi cers and Salaries. With these mighty instruments of influence and power, the Executive pervades and -influences the whole Kepublic. And the eyes of every ambitious and aspiring man must be ele vated above this Uouser^o excutive -fa? vour, as the object of all his hopes and all hiSexertiohSv Well have getltlemen said* that to re* slst and render harmless this flood of pa tronage and influence, the people can look to thli House. It Is through this House the treasury must be. watched and protected from abuses. By this - House only can the people exercise the power of impeachment. Through it alone can the minions of patronage, <he instruments or oppression, be sieted and dragged te the public tribunal, and punished lot their offence*. And lie te, too, and here ooly, Can the^toz/ tourer of all power and pa tronage, the Executive himself, be arraign ed and punished for abuses of hit powcr9 for injuries to the peoplew Can it then be wise to degrade this House ? Can it be safe for the people to shatter in pieces their own shield and buck ler ? To wither the arm that, in their cause and in their defente, must wield the sword of justice and of punishment f Can it be for their safety to place the Compensation of members on a footing, which Will render this House e teccptacle for the rich and the powerful on the one hand, ahd the unprincipled hunters alter executive favors on the other / and in* fallibly exclude from its walls all in those middle Walks of life, where, In thia coun try^ talents, knowledge and political jexpe* rience, though not excluaively, are most generally found ? What must finally result from such ft policy ? Why, sir, this House will be come, aa the Commons of England, ft mete step in the ladder of ambition? e barren hough, on Which the birds oi foul omen Will rest for e moment, only to take a new flight to the higher regions of office and patronage f While those who shall re main will Constitute a mass of inert mat ter, receiving motion and direction from the hand, which the Executive shall set apart to manage it. And then, instead of constituting, as was originally intended, a mound agsinst tha flood of patronage constantly flowing into the great Executive reservoir, it will itself plunge into the stream : and aid to stfrell and give force and violence to the current* which will sweep away the liberties *of this people? Sir, upon a question invol ving, as in my conscience I believe thi% does, such consequcnces, / will not de scend to the calculations of shillings and pence. Every dollar, within reasonable reward and compass, bestowed on the mem* ber? of this house by the people, will add only to the patronage of the people. It Will render less attractive the glittering baubles in the hands of the Executive*-* and by increasing the dignity, inck-pen* dence and strength of this House* will rendrr it forever m accessible to the sap* pintfs and midings of Executive patronage, and tf the open assaults of Executive power* I have heard it objected, that, if the compensation for services her^be increas ed, men will seek a seat in the Home, merely from a base leva of tbf frjjoJuencnU
