Excerpt from Speeches of Hon. John M. Clayton, of Delaware, in the United States Senate, March 31, and April 1, 1856: In Reply to Senator Houston, of Texas, and Others, and in Defense of the Naval Board Ever since the days of General Jackson, each successive President has exercised this power oi' removal without question from any quarter whatever. He has exercised it in every instance without control, without record, without trial, and without giving notice to the party accused. No man has contended for years past that a per son removed from office had a right to demand from the Executive of this country the reason for which he was removed, ormight require a trial before he was removed, or the production of a record to show the grounds for his removal, 'or that notice should be given him, and that he should be heard anywhere in regard to the removal. We had in vain denounced the tyranny of the pro scri tive policy, and we yielded, however reluct ant y, to the popular will.
