HOUSE Ob KEPKESENTATIVES.
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posed to be repealed.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
