PITTSON, PA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1854. WHOLE NUMBER 204.- THE PITTSTON GAZETTE, GOAL, iFHDffom, would finable it to judge .the merits, and that the President be respectfully requested to furnish Co the House of Represents, tives a copy of the instructions under which the same was negotiated, and of the cor respondence to which it gave rise, and of all other papers oonuected with the sub. ject—the said copies to be communicated e nfii'e ia"y if, n ihe opinion oi the President, the publi-i good may not admit of their present publication. Mr. B. then said ; When this Federal Government was formed, and while it wos yet supposed that the working of the Government would be according to the terms ol Ihe Constitution which created it. there were many sagacious and patriotic men who believed that the Government was too strong—that it would be an overmatch for the people and the Slates, and that in the single grant of power to Congress to raise money by loans and taxes without limitation, and to raise fleets and armies equally without limitation—in that single feature a dangerous power was given to the new Government, by help of which all other pswers might be siezed. Foremost among these objectors was the famous orator, .Patrick Hegjx, was the first to take alarm at this portentous union of the purse and the sword. He dr. claimed again*! it; and that while he be. lieved these powers were to be exercised as writ'.en in the Constitutiun-by the Con gress itself, oomposed of the immediate and responsible representatives of the people. What would that sagacious man and his compeers have said il they hud fore seen that these two tremendous powers were to paas from the hands of Congress into the hands of the President and Senate and some foreign potentate—a monarch in old Europe, or some would-be monarch in new America? What would Patrick Henry have said to such a conjunction in such hands 1 But he could not conceive of such a thing. His sagacity, great a; it was, his foresight, long as it was, his jealous; of the new Government, keen as it was. could not conceive of such a conjunction. Yet the thing is upon us—if not in whole, at least io great part—and advancing with rapidatiides upon the remainder ; of which, strides this treaty, and this bill to enforce it, is ihe last and greatest. tion of what is right, and not to be satisfied by sending down a bill to a committee' drawn up by a treasury clerk, with a noties to send up the money. The origination of tax-laws is intended by the Consihu. to apply to the tax—to its first levy and imposition, and not to the writing on the paper which imposes it. The House was to do the thinking-.-the first thinking— judging the question of tax or no tax, and were to decide whether thero should be tax or not. And this is the "originating ' which the Constitution speaks of, and not the idle process of fi'st voting on a bill to impose burdens on the people, which bill ia itself an imposition of tax. How is it at this moment! We opened the session with vehement determination to reduce taxes, slop surplusses, and relieve the people.— We have given up all that; and this refusal to reduce taxes is equivalent to the imposition ; and thus this bill, by cortinuing 910,000,000 of unnecessary tax, levies that amount on the country. municaied to us, not as a law but as a fact, to show that it bind* the United Slates lo pay ten millions of dollars ; and then re quires, I he money to be ready on a named day. Such is the difference between the two cases; and to make all clear, I here read the messago of President Pierce, di xected to the House of Representatives, and not to the two Houses, as that of Washing, ton was: into his Manual of Congressional Practice, and considered as Parlimentarv law. lie says : AND D.

" To what subjects this power (the treaty making) extends has not been de. fined in detail by the Constitution; nor are we entirely agreed among ourselves. 1. It is admitted that it must concern the foreign nation, parly to the contract, or it would be a mere nullity. 2. By the gencral power to make treaties, the Constitulion must have intended to comprehend those only which are usually regulated bv treaty, and cannot bo otherwise regulated. 3. It must have meant to except out of these the rights reserved to the States; for surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole Government i* interdicted from doing in any way.— 4.

Such is the difference between the two cases, and which prevents one from being any precedent for the other. lint there was some legislation required to execute the details ol the British treaty, (salaries to commissioners and other items, jiot amounting to 6100,000;) and ihe house called lor the papers. The President declined to give them, upon thegrouud, that the treaty being within the constitutional competency ol the President and Senate, the lloJse had no right to demand a copy of ihe papers ; and so refused jhem upon the demand, but permitted their authentic publication, that the Congress and the people might see what was done. The gist of Washington's objretion lay in this sentence of hia message: " Haying been a member of the general convention, and knowing the principles on which the Constitution was framed, 1 have ever entertained but one opinion on this subject ; and (rem tl.o first establishment cf the Government to this moment, my con duct has exemplified that opinion ; that the power of making treaties is exclusively vested in the Senate, provided two-thirds of the senators present concur ; and that every (reaty so made and promulgated, thenceforward becomes the law of the land. It is thus that the treaty-making power has been understood by foreign nations; and in all the treaties made with them, tee have declared, and they have believed, that when ratified by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, thev become obligatory;" •pened about one year since lu the central part of Pittston, •ad is m« sf the most ontniW*Houo and best arranged flenses in Northern Pennsylvania, and every effort will be made to reuder the sojourn of all. pleasant and agreeable.

Montesquieu, in Spirit ot Laws, says this great English privilege (that ol taxing themselves) was found in the woods—the woods ol Germany—such as they were in the time of Tacitus. ,"0/» terra, que c'esl des Germain* que let An gluis out tire t'idie de leur Oouvernment pol it:que.

Pym, the compatriot of Hampden, enumerates it as one of the benefits which* the English derived from the Saxon inva sion, and one of th» trophies of the vanquished at the Normau conquest. The conqueror took the lunds and houses of the English -their country and government, even their language; but he could not te«r this glorious privilege from their iron grasp on the contrary, he was made to confirm it, and swear to it; and that carefully guarded as old privilege confirmed, and not as a uew one granted. Mezeray, the French hisloriau of two hundred years ago, in a conversation wiili Hampden, considered this privilege ol placing the people ot Eng. land above all the p««tple of Europe ; con. sjdered tbem as being too happy it they could save it-; and held that they ought to die for it.

It no lar transcends my poor efforts, that I should assuredly have asked, if earlier re ceired, its publication in preference. As it is, I earnestly request you :o publish what will make about two columns of his introductory argument. Clear, cogent, instructive, sound, it cannot fail to make a lasting impression ou every  iniu J. The war power—the power to make war—is as • grant to Congress, a mere illusion—a form without substance. To be sure, Congress is called upon to issue the declaration, as it is now cdlled upon to pass this bill; but the real power of making the war resides elsewhere—resides in the Exrcutivo Government alone— which, in its power to conduct our foreign relations, has power to make a quarrel with any nation it pleases ; and when the quarrel is got up, our people will fight. This is what I was accustomed to hear aged men say when I first cam« to the public councils; and my own observations since 1 have been in them have confirmed their vpitHoa. i tlie war power now as being substantially in the hands of the 1'resident, and t!Cat it depends upnn him to make »or, ox oot, when he pleases.

Again, the resolution of Mr. Madison, which puts the matter in its '.rue light. Kven upon the face of the words of this message, President Pierce could find no precedent for his proceeding ; for the British treaiy was in the regular course of foreign intercourse—his is out of it; rati, ficntiotis had been exenanged in the case of the British treaty ; here they have not been ; the Briiish treaty had been promulgated as a supreme law ; this has not been ; the Btitish treaty was communica. ted to Congress as a law for Information ; the British treaty asked nothing, this one demands ten millions of dollars. Washington's act is no precedent for Mr. Pierce, and even that was not satisfactory to the House of Representatives. The House admitted the general doctrine laid down by VVasliington, but claimed exceptions, which were fully set forth in a speech from Mr. Madison, and which, condensed into two resolves, were adopted by the JJouse.

We are, therefore, left in the dark as to all the motives lor entering into this negotiation, the instructions under which it wus caried on,and the correspondence which illustrates it. And of the resolves which I submit asserts our right '.o have thse papers—confidently, it the President should doem their present publication inadvinible—but to have then), and that before we vote the money. The President doubtless taJCes Washington's conduct in the case of the British trpaty of 1?9(J far Uip guide» lDut totally mistakes tl(e analogy of the oases, and entirely Blisses the diktinctmn between the class of treaties which are entirely within the competence of the President and Senate, and those which require the action of the legislative authority. The treaty of'96 was one of the former class. It was a treaty of amity, commerce and navigation, conol'uded before it was communicated to Congress—ratified, and the ratifications exchanged—promulgated by proclamation as a law of the land ;—and only communicated to Congress for information—for ofli cial notice to thorn as a law of the land.

" That, it beinj; declared by the second article of the Constitution, 'th?t the President shall have power, by and with the consent of the Senate, to make treaties provided two thirds of the Senate present concur,' the House of Representatives do not .claim any agency in making treaties ; but that when a treaty stipulates regulations on any of the subjects submitted by Ihe Constitution to the power of Congress it must depend, for its execution, as to such stipulations, on a law, or laws passed by Congress.
