Mr. HOWE. For one, I hope we shall agree in the amendment of the House. I differ entirely with the Senfrom Vermont in the statement he has made, that this question was fully argued when it was before the Senate. I hardly think any member of the Senate took any particular interest in getting the amendment made except myself. I was not prepared to argue it at any length, did not attempt to argue it at any length. I know other Senators, who were not then Present, think the amendment ought to be made, and are prepared to give much more conclusive reasons for the faith that is in them than I did. at the time. But, above all, I have a proound conviction, I have a very strong feeling, that we ought not to pass this bill without making the amendment. I cannot for my life conceive, I could not on the occasion of that debate here, the reason which I should feel like Presenting to the people of the U.S. for taking from the President the power to remove postmasters and collectors of cus toms and officers of that description, and leaving in his hands the power to remove the heads of Depts at his pleasure. That the legislative dept of the government has not as complete control over the question of removing the heads of the Executive Depts as these other officers I do not think was disputed the other day or will be disputed now. It is a question of expediency, then, if our power is the same, whether we shall exercise this authority in reference to these officers; it is a question of expediency and not of power. Upon a question of expe diency I do not think the Senate will insist upon its opinion against the deliberate opinion of the HoRep. We have every reason to believe that the conclusion of the HoRep was arrived at as deliberately as the opinion of the Senate. If the Senate will not recede from the position taken the other day upon a very casual debate, is there any reason for supposing that the HoRep will recede from the position which they have taken upon a debate Imuthchinkmore full than that had in the Senate? not. Beside that, I have no doubt my opinions are influenced a great deal by my feelings. My feeling is, as I said before, very strong that the Senate ought to recede, and that the House ought not to recede; and it is constitutional with me when I think a thing ought to be done to believe that it will be done. I hope the Senate will recede and agree with the HoRep.
