Full Text
The Senate have concurred in most of the appointments made by the President during the recess. Care should be taken that such concurrence be not deemed a matter of course, for the power of the "s Monarchical Branch" of our government, would be much increased thereby.
The Senate divided on the appointment of Mr. Charles Pinckney, as Minister to Madrid: but that gentleman being already sent to Madrid, it perhaps occasioned a dilemma, in which, at length, a disposition to economize might overrule objections to his appointment.
The appointment of Mr. Gallatin is probably dissatisfactory to three-fourths of the people of Massachusetts.
