McIHJFFIE'S SPEECH.
In SenatB, June 15tb, 1844.?In reply to Mr.
Benton's remarks on the second reading of the
bill introduced by the latter for the annexation
of Texas to the United State*.
The bill having been taken up and read through
at his request, Mr. Mcl>utfio addressed the Senate
as follows;
Mr. President: 1 assure yon, sir, with great
wncvruy, mat i never rose to address the Senate
with more reluctance tb? I now do; and that nothing
less than a deep sense of the obligations of
private friendship and public duty could havo induced
mo, at this late hour of the session, to occupy
another moment upon an exhausted subject,
which has been finally disposed of fijr the present.
If 1 had consulted ray own health and eomfort, 1
should now have been in my bed instead of standing
in my place to address the Senate.
The course of the senator from Missouri, I must
he permitted to say, has surprised me not a little.
The treaty of annexation having been rejected by
the Senate, all hope having been extinguished of
an immediato annexation of Texas to the United
States, the honorable Senator of Missouri submits
a bill to the Senate, and, instead of making an argument
to sustain that bill, or any other hill to effect
the annexation of Texas to the United States,
has made the strongest and most uncompromising
argument that could possibly have been made
against the annexation at any future time without
the consent of Mexico. Indeed, the speech of the
honorable senator consorts very strangely with a
bill purporting to be "a bill for tbe
i?ic "Vimea crcaies. 1 shaii not pursue
the honorable senator through the whole range of
bis topics; because I am not aware that an argument
which has been repeated more than three
times acquires any additional force by the repetition.
The honorable senator has made the body
of his speech at least two or three times over. I
propose, therefore, to confine myself to the new
views presented by the senator in his speech of
yesterday, principally in reference to the niessago
which the President of the United States sent to
the other House, and the suggestion of the President
in that message.
1 understood the honorable senator to charge
the President of the United States with perpetrating
a gross and indecorous violation of the dignity
and privileges of the Senate, in daring to make
an appeal from the judgment of this body; and, in
order to exhibit this outrage in still stronger colors,
the honorable senator lias compared it to one
of the most offensive appeals ever made to the
people of the United States?that of an incendiary
fbretgn minister against -Ooturrol Washington's
celebrated proclamation of neutrality. I am really
at a loss, sir, to comprehend the process by
which the honorable senator hus been able to trace
any analogy between these two cases. The plirejVji
nologicnl bump, which is called the bump of comparativenoss,
must be most singularly developed
upon the head of that honorable senator. A forminister
makes an appeal to the people of
the United States to stir up an insurrection against
their constituted authorities. The honorable senator
regards this as perfectly analogous to an aj>
pcai mauc ny tlie President of the United States
(acting under his constitutional obligations) to the
popular branch of this government, and to the
{jeoplc of the United States, upon a subject deepy
and vitally affecting their interests.
No man, Mr. President, would be more pertinacious
in standing up to vindicate the dignity of
the Senate than myself; but I think the dignity of
every branch of the government consists in recognizing
the rights of all other branches or departments;
and that we shall preserve our own digni- |
4 tv mntl cftai'tliallu n utri?* 4
touitesy which is due the chtet executive officer
of the government in our official proceedings.?
What has been the course of the President of the
United States upon this subject! He submitted a
troaty of annexation to the Senate of the United
States, the proper authority to ratify that treaty,
aware, as he was, that this was not the only mode
by which Texas could be annexed to the United
States. The ratification of the treaty required
two thirds of the Senate, and was rejected. It is
known to the President, as it is known to the honorable
Senator, that a more solemy form of ratification,
securing the sanction of the whole government,
would be by a joint resolution, passing both
houses, and signed by the President; and I should
like to know what there is disrespectful to the Senate,
what there is inconsistent with the constitutional
duty of the President, after lie has ascer
iaineu mat tne treaty cannot pass the Senate, but
has actually been rejected, in submitting the whole
question to the popular branch of the national legislature,
to order that the people of the United
States, through their immediate representatives,
might have nil opportunity of ?l?ei(l*ng upon it
themselves? Sir, this is a course in all respects
perfectly respectful to the Senute. lie awaited
our decision; and although, in the progress of the
debate here, documents which he deemed material
to the enlightenment of the public were suppressed
in the Senate, yet ho never made any
communication of those documents until the final
decision of the Senate was made and published 011
this question. It appears to me that it would be
assuming a great deal on the part of the Senato to
say, under these circumstances, that the President
of the United States had violated its privileges
and dignity by an appeal to the popular branch of
the national legislature, after the Senato had given
its disapproval of the proposed measure. Has
the Senate of the United States, sir, the prerogative
right of the final decision of great national
question? and are we to regard the President us a
mere suiter at our bar, ami unauthorized to communicate
with the other House without obtaining
leave to appeal from our decisions? 1 am utterly
at a loss to conceive what view the Senn'or from
Missouri tikes of the relations which exist between
the President of the United States and the
Senate. The Senate has adjudged the case, and
E resented its decision; und upon this the honora1c
Senator conceives himself entitled, as representing
the power and dignity of the Senate, to
^ stand up and say "I uin sir Oracle; when I o|>en
my mouth let no dog bark." The President must 1
bo silent! The popular branch of the learislatnrn
must be silent! The people of thu States must i
submit to the Hnnl irreversible judgment of the t
Senate! Much has been said, sir, of the abuse of i
tlic veto power. By whom is it abused! The i
veto power is expressly conferred upon the President
of the United States; and, as 1 conceive, for i
wise and salutary purposes. But here, it seems,
we have assumed a veto power more sacred and
inviolable than any which has ever existed under |
any government upon earth. By tbo Roman sys- j
tern, the person of the popular tribune was held i
sacred, and his negative power supremo. When
bo pronounced the awful word "veto," all the oth- i
er powers' in the State wfcre parulized and pro- i
coed no firther. According to the conception ?
which the honorable Senator from Missouri seems
to have in relation to the veto power ofthis government,
that power exists in the SenWo of the
United States. Oi. this point, 1 beg leave to differ
entirely from tho honorable senator. That
power belongs to the President of the United
States, as well as the duty of presenting to Congross
recommendations relative to all great questions
connected with our foreign relations. It belongs
to him exclusively to recommend to Conjjtoss
what he conceives will promote '.he interests
of die country in rotation to these end all other
question*. The Senate cannot negotiate a treaty,
it has no constitutional power to take any steps
whatever in relation to treaties, or to annexation,
unless by a joint resolution. 1 humbly conceive,
therefore. Mr. President, that this charge, which
seems to have so deeply excited the honorable senator,
of an interference on the purt of the executive
with the privileges of the Senate, is entirely j
without foundation. I air. at a loss to see why it
is that, in introducing a bill $>r die annexation of
Texas, "the honorable senator should direct his
whole argument to the denunciation of the defunct
treaty. \Vhv, sir, wo have strangled that treaty
-?it is dencf. Why now make war opon the
.1 .1 it r i T
gnosu we nave, to t>c sure, many instances 111
history to show that a ghost is sometimes moro
terrible than a living man. Crosur was assassinated
in the Roman benate. Those who slew him
felt perfectly fearless while taking the life of the
living man; but when the ghost of Csesar appeared
to the leading conspirator, and in the silence of
night exclaimed, "I will meet thee again, at Philippi!"
he was thrown into despair. And, Mr.
President, if the ghost of this treaty?if the ghost
of Texas should present itself liere to haunt the
midnight couch of any senator, to whom could it
exclaim with more propriety than to the honorable
senator from Missouri, 44Et tu Brute/"
Mr. President, the honorable senator has announced
very truly to tho Senate that he has been
for twenty-five years a friend of Texus; and he
seems to consider that circumstance as giving hirn
a prescriptive and exclusive right to dispose of
tViiM wl^nlu Aitiutilus *? .-! J ?r-.*W
it; and in language, sir, which 1 have no doubt
was not offensively intended, but which, if it could
bo regarded as serious, would be very much so;
he stigmatized all the advocates of the unnexation
of Texas as neophytes?new plants?recent converts?totally
incapable of judging of this great
and vital question. Indeed, sir, the honorable senator
has substantially said: "I invite you all to
come ana take lessons trom me!" He said in so
many words: These neophytes had better come
to school to me on the subject of annexing Texas!
Now, Mr. President, I think I heard the honorable
senator once remark, that if God had made him
tor any special purpose it was to be a schoolmaster.
And if 1 wanted to learn Spanish, French, 1
or Italian, I don't know of a master that I would
select in preference to the honorable senator. But
really this thing of putting senators to school to
learn grave questions of statesmanship, after they
have reached the age of forty-five or fil'tv, is rather
an awkward business. The honorable senator
must excuse me if, much as I respect his talents
in that line, X do not consent 10 take lessons international
law from him. But he went on to intimate
that we were strangely deficient df the reasoning
faculties, as exemplified by some of the arguments
which have been maintained on this side
of the floor; and I understood him to beseech us
all to try and exercise some little common sense,
and not repeat arguments which were scarcely fit
for misses at a boarding school. Why, sir, this
looks very much like the school-master in earnest.
I agree with the honorable senator in the estimate
which he places upon common sense. I have always
regarded it us the highest faculty of tho human
mind. The success of all the truly great
men in the world?Washington, Frederick the
Great, Wellington, Napoleon, and the like?-will
1. . X* 1 - l
itv tuunu 10 nave t>een owing almost entirely to
this faculty applied to the great alfairs of war ami
statesmanship. Now, as the honorable senator intimates
that the udvocates of the annexation of
Texas are destitute of this faculty, I confess I feel
this charge with some sensibility; for if I wcro
sure I had not that guiding star of the mind, there
it 4-r X -V ?. - * a -? -.y* ? w. ?... .
ving. To be sure, I have heurd of very brilliant
men?who have made a dazzling display before
the eyes of nations?who had every kind of sense
but common sense.
But, sir, however powerful a man's imagination?however
brilliant his career?if' he has not
this homely endowment, wo to the nation that
places its destiny in his hands. I regard this,
therefore, as the gravest charge of all; and I should i
ho sorry to believe that there is a portion of the j
Senate of the United States, a majority in the j
House of Representatives, and three fourths of the
people of the United States against whom such a i
charge may be justly made.
But the honorable senator, in his own exclusive j
views of this subject, seems to have placed him-1
self in a very solitary or a very awkward position.
In the great division of parties, what shall we call t
the honorable senator, and under what Hag shall !
we find him? Here 1 have a paper in my hand, :
and it is headed with the common motto of all the ,
democratic papers throughout the Union?"Poll j
and Texas." with an extract fiv,m Mr Polk'* 1?t
ter in fuvor of "immediate unneXation," and Gene
ral Jackson's celebrated sentiment of "now or ne
ver." What sort of an impression would the lion
orable senator make at a great popular meeting i i
the town of Nashville, in fuvor of "Polk and Te>
as," with the speech which lie delivered the other
day! I am really afraid, sir, ho will find hinnsel1'
brought unexpectedly into strange comnanv. and
, - ? t u * / ' 7
thrown in with strange bed iellows. 1 happeneu
to pick up this morning a paper, in whieh I ficci
the following placard, said to have been tacked >
a court-house door, in Kentucky, by a whig ca?.- ,
didate:
"John Brent, coon; has a sickly wife and eic ' '
small children; is very poor, afraid to steal, too
lazy to work, in favor of the tariff, hut again.' i
Texas; would like to be elected to the legislature
but am fearful I shan't, as the State appears to
going for 'Butler and Texas.'"
Nor as the two great parties are rallying f
the approaching campaign, with "immediate a,
itoxiuon" ono uT tKo it x* to be Q|V|>tH?lio?t
ded that the honorable senator will be thrown om
of the democratic position he lias so ably occupied,
although he still stands in the front rank on all th,
other great principles and measures of the demt
cratic party. But on this question of annexation
fear the honorable senator, much against his ow . !
inclination, will he inevitably thrown into conjunc
tion with those for whom he has no natural uttinity
Mr. President, I must confess that the tone and
manner in which the honorable senator denounced
the President of the United States and the Secre
tary of Stale, struck me as extraordinary and un
accountable. The treaty had been consigned t
the "toenh of the Cnpulets." The question be for*
the Senate was the proposition to secure the an
nexation of Texas in another mode; and instead cr
pursuing a course that would give strength to hi
proposition, the honorable senutor has most bittei
ly, and in the most unqualified terms, denounce |
the President as if he were a pickpocket.
In the course of his argument, the honorable
senator seemed to suppose that the Presidont 0' 1
the United Stntoa, by making public certain secre .
documents which the Sennte had refused to publish,
and from which they had refused to removi
the injuctiou of secrecy, had committed an outrage
upon the privileges of the .Senate, Upon
what privilege, 1 ask] The privilege of suppressing
documents which the people ought to seel?
Sir, I must be permitted to say that the oufrago
was committed by the Senate upon the President
and the people. Every effort to have these documents
made public, in common with the rest was
defeated hy the majority; and it was not until they
had been sent to the other House that the Senator
from Missdrt made a motion to remove the injunction
omocroay.

United St^e^ should qp inhibited from furnishing' |
