,t7> MR. Fenno,
Some obftrvaUons in yonr paper (!iew an extrem?
rettlefsnefs under certain paragraphs of letters frotr
England tefpefting the conduct of the H'mfe
j r( ._ Reprtfentatives as to the Briiilh treaty. It is t
able surprizing no doubt that we do find in
laces the EnglilTi prints any threats of war such- as
J e . rc " held up as scare-crows to the multitude—but nnthe
lain, contrary, applauses of the firmnef6 with which the
■ ces opponents of t!ie treaty infilled that our wrongs
1§ ues should be redrefled before we entered into compadi i
with so faithlcf* a government.
,!0, That the oppofers of the treaty in Congress did
par- not mean to set it aside is evident to all wh« are im•
partial—fiom Mr. Maclay's proposition—which.
: e(cf was not to RtjiCTbut to sus?enb the execution
ying of the treaty until we h dafluranccs that ourfhips
o,n and seamen fhruld be fafe in futifre, and surely the
bin;- events °f'he day fully prove the necessity of this,
for the treat-'has made q,i change whatever in the
gant fla'ecfthe commerce of the United States—our
seamen are ft ill heat and infultcd—our ships are ft ill
ie , a l taken and condemned, the accumulated lofies o£
ieve which threaten our insurance companies, our banks
pec- and all our trading people.
( . But if there be any crime in oppofirfg treaties
— when difcufled in the legislative body, what shall we
. fay to Peter Porcupine the champion of a certain
patty, who declares his firm oppofitiim to another
—3 treaty made a number of years ago, of which fpeak
-111 -ing he has this fugacious remark. " {5y the treaty J
for " roadc between this country and the King of
ies, " Fiance, the French na ion is in my opinion no
ere •'more illegally of the United States tha" the Chi
..n i pffc a 'e." Is there not an effort heie to set a '
for 'he French treaty in defiance of the -govern- '
merit of the Union, how can this be reconciled by '
>lic the so much famed friends of order, except that a '
ek, treaty is one thing when made with one nation—but
lu *> quite a diffe/ent thing when concluded with ano- i
ther ? There is however one discovery rbade by
your coriefpondent the merit of whiih is all his 1
— own—he fays our feats were not of Britain decla
clating war agamft us—but unless she would con- 1
of sent to do usjullice wc miifl have declared war a- !
gainst her. I believe even the Serjeant-Major will '
smile at this—she do usjullice ! Is it justice to take
