You will find that the whole business of this government will be infinitely delayed, by this negative of the senate on trea ties and appointments. Indian treaties and consular conventions have been already waiting for months, and the senate have not been able to find a moment of time to attend to them ; and this evil must constantly increase, so that the senate must be constant ly sitting, and must be paid as long as they sit. " But I have tired your patience. Is there any truth or im portance ...in these broken hints and crude surmises or not ? To me they appear well founded and very important. " To these remarks Mr. Sherman replied, that he esteemed " the provision made for appointments to office, to be a matter of very great importance, on which the liberties and safety of the people depended, nearly as much as on legislation.
