H. OF R. the oath until several weeks had elapsed after the beginning of the session, and not until they themselves had passed a law prescribing the manner in which it should be administered.

If the States should ever show a disinclination to pass the necessary laws for holding elections, Congress would immediately exercise its power. But even if he were incorrect in this last opinion, it would not at all injure the main point, as he might be wholly wrong in this, and still, for the other reasons given, the report must be reversed. When Mr. ANDERSON had concluded, Mr. JOHNSON, of Kentucky, in a short speech, supported the right of the member to a seat. Mr. FORSYTH spoke at some length in opposition to the report, and to the right of the member retaining his seat. Mr. SPENCER replied, and spoke also at considerable length in support of the report, and the right of Mr. HERRICK to a seat. Mr. FORSYTH rejoined, and further supported his opinion. An opinion has been held by some, that the situation of these gentlemen, and that of a judge who had received the appointment of the President and Senate, but who had not yet taken the oath officio, were similar; and they contend that in neither was the appointment complete, nor could the official name and character attach themselves to the individual, until he had given this final evidence of acceptance and qualification. But, said Mr. A., this proposition is susceptible of answer, which he thought unanswerable. The present question depends solely on the verbal construction of the several parts of the Constitution which relate to it; and no argument can be drawn from any cases of supposed analogy, unless the language relating to the appointment be precisely similar. Whenever it was said that the person appointed did not become a judge until the oath of office was administered to him, with the view of drawing the same inference in relation to a Representative, Mr. TAYLOR, Chairman of the Committee of he immediately demanded whether the language Elections, entered at large into the defence of the governing the cases were alike? But the lan-report, and of the right of the member to a seat. guage is essentially different, and all argument drawn from that source fails. The case of a Re- to sit again. presentative depended on different principles. The Constitution had, he thought, sufficiently declared that the election of the people did constitute the individual a member of Congress. And it would be observed that in all parts of the Constitution the analogy between Representatives and other officers was broken. The Presisident, "before he enters on the execution of his office," must take the oath; but "Senators and Representatives shall be bound by oath or affirmation to support this Constitution." Here the difference of phraseology shows to us that the oath required of the Representative was only one security provided against corruption, but was not considered as an act necessary to constitute the officer, or in any way necessary to give validity to his votes or acts. This construction commenced with the Government. It appears from the journals of the first Congress under the present Government, that the members did not take The Committee then rose, and obtained leave FRIDAY, March 20. Mr. SERGEANT, from the Committee of Ways and Means, to whom was referred an inquiry into the expediency of allowing a drawback on refined sugar exported, and a memorial of the distillers and merchants of Boston, praying that drawbacks may be allowed upon the exportation of spirits distilled from foreign materials, made a report thereon, in favor of the expediency of allowing drawback on the articles mentioned.
