He adverted to the grow th of the country, the increase of population, ami consequently of bn*dno.as in the various puWc offices.

Tliebu sine-be said, which, uiUf'thrce and a ! half millions of population, was necessary ! t<» be done in ibr public oliices, bore no proportion to inc mass which now called ! font .eir attention. The arguments on i which li • geiierahv sustained tlie i»iiS, in ] tin use el’bis remarks, were, the great ; \ m of our public business, tin* in- i crease of business in the foreign d'*p:*rt rneut as well as at home, and t!i • multi tude and rotu dicat ion of details of nub lic transactions, which required a distri bution of th *m among the public of*i «* s, dift’erent from that which now ex ists. Air. /fmg commenced the expression of his views ofthis hili, In stating the fact, that in th.* original organization of timgo v i iim- iil, it l a iu eti inside a question, uh ;!lu r a hour de artm nt was n c'*.« a- | rv : n I f hat, after t he most mature const-t deration, it had been decided I ibeinexpc- j dient : and t!, - depa tnicnt; of state, as ii . ; name indicated, wits to take charge of ;•!' ' matters of a civil nature, interior as well ; as foreign. It war true, (Mr. King said,) i t at this was h"ig :i:>n, and that, (as bis i colleague lu-d a d.) there had been since ! a cousiderahb- iiimcasc in the business | and populationfd'the country.

Xo niore security would he afforded by creating two de partments <>( state in the room of one, which, !ie I ( lic’cd, was sufficient to des patch all tlie business now confided to it, most of which, beipg matter of detail on ly, required lit?h* more than the signature of the secretary of state. Mi*. K. advert ed to th * brain lies of business proposed to !»•* assigned to the new dep'sirtm nt.and remarked ouearli. As to the correspon dence with l!*e governors ofstates, be.said, that any man, present at the formation of this government, would have considered it a very extraordinary i dea, that a bill c veji should he introduced into Congress, : much less that a law should be passed, to j devolve on n subordinate bead of a d - p*.n tment, the tenure of w hose office wa* | at the will of the President, the charge of correspondent*'* "ith flic governors of the : several states. ’A hen fi nertd Washing , ton was President, the governors corres ! ponded directly with him—and why?— because lliev hoidan important portion of the sovereign newer. For various reasons lie assigned, 'dr. King was opposed to cre ating a new department to transact this ; business-. As to t! 1 correspondence with the terviforialoft'cers, to* said, that was no 1 very distressing labor, being little moi" t -a a matter of form, attended to, except !ii m re signature of the ‘- i n tar , lr the ch*rk« in the office.

T.h e argument:* in favor of striking them out were, gcneridlv, these: that the ofliec of attorney general, wi'.iithe :>rnpos I ad ditiondo it of an office aini a clerk, be comes nt once 1 lie Department <>f I aw, never intended certainly when this c’lic \ as established, and this change ** II be i »• ur** f unidalioti of a bill to increase the salary attuehed to theotlice: that tin* sala 'rv of I lie otlicc laid already grown up from 1-V'h to hoe > dollars; that, whatever v.as tii • practice, it could never have been intended that tlu: attorney goner;.! should t>e a npunber of the cabinet, an.v more <han ti;t: comptroller of the treasu; \ , anil some nt! er olft-ms; that the atlprney g me * i! wit s :n>w better paid, in proport i • on to hi>; duties, than any other officer of thego* num i’t,since, from the <ir*» esta 1 t ! * piom t t)i'» cimr lAtirt f Sin 'it. iorney generals, one year w ;lfi another, had not argued more than two eases each term of it for the Vr.it d ‘••totes : that it was contemplat' d always ti.yt Jhe attor ney genera! should pursue his private practice; that In* ought t<» do st>, since constant practice was known to he es sential to make ag ood lnvv> er : that the predecessor of the present attorney gene ral pursued to great advantage his private practice; that in Great liritain the attor ney general is generally the most exten sive practitioner, although by the terms of his office at thc'same time a cabinet counsellor; that, there fore, no iucux.se of compensation (as this proposition deemed essentially to he) was necessary ; a id because, if the compensation f he attorney general was increased, an < g mentalinn of the salaries of all the otoer officers of the government would follow of course. On fIf* other hand, it wasargiud, that the attorney general was an officer of great inr.iortauce, to whom was confided the management of the law concerns of the Vnit States, who was continually (almost daily} appealed to for his leg il ad vic'| by one departmentoroth r, tV who w js besides, by tlie practiceof tic* gov’t., a cabinet counsellor; '.hat brought therefore In have the sam accommodation a*, other officer off •*;*'> < rnment, of anohice an I a cJ-*rk— of a cl.rk. becuase it was impor tant to retain copies of opinions, of let ters, and of cn cspondi nre with dis trict attorn;- s, wbicb I y former attorney generals bad never been done, no paper of any description having been banned from any one of them to bis successor ; that the private practice of the law, with the present duties of'the office, which occu pied alt the. time of the incumbent, must he inconsiderable indeed, if not incom patible; that it was unjust to ask from an officer, whose salary was perhaps ina dequate to his support, that lie should sub:-»rart thcreform the amount of his official expcnces, <Vc.
