He thought it pofTiblo for this Go vrriiner.t to purfiie a line of CondufJ which, whilst it secured our neutral rights, would not be a departure from our neutral obligations. Hewifbedto take-a lit'le notiei'of what had sal en from ibe gentleman from Virginia, on the I'uLje.'t at ljcnficc of epinion. He had already oblerved tnat he hoped that gentlemjp would allow the fame liberty of fentimerit to dthers which he claimed for himftlf. He would not ftophere. After great ptiblic measures have been the objeft of deliberate difciiffion in other branches of the' government, and have hem car ried by a raajority, he thought it the duty of a minority to acquicfee in the determination. — It is the chief duty of the members of a re publican government —Where through the re presentative channel the epiniens of all the ci tizens are communicated, it cannot be expe<9ed but that on great otcafioiu there will be a differ- 1 enceof ientiment; and thi«unavoidable diffcr erce creates the obligation of perfect acqaief- C.cnce in the major opinion ; for otherwise there would be a perpetual conflifl between the mem bers of the fame government. It was from this opinion that he wis concern ed to litar the past eonduift of any branch of the government censured. Whatever legitimate afls of government were parted, they should be pro tefUd by the mil' ority as well as the majority— They Ihould be held as sacred and never blown upon by us. They should hold but one in their support. Whatever difference of opini niJH might exist amongst theinfelves, this dif ference ought not to appear in their afls to fo reign nations. —We ihould speak. said he, in these cafe*, but as one people. Therefore, if the answer to the President's addrels, be an in flrumentof which the French Kepubliemay take notice, it Ihould not appear to them that we have been at any time, or are now, divided in the fctttiments which it contains : theafls of the go vernment are the a&s of the country, and net a whisper Ihould efeapefrom us in opposition to them, when they have been concluded and car ried into effril. He wiflied the gentleman from Virginia had omitted his observations with refpeflto faSions which may exist in this country, as there was no necellary connexion betwixt that fubjefl and the onrunder confederation. It was one which ought to be kept out afview within those walls. It was to be regretted that the press .was conta minated with this kind of rubbifo; but when the gentleman had exprefled his contempt for charges of thw fort, he lbould have extended it to both fides of the house: For if French faHion was tried out on one fide Briti/h faction on the other, had for these last four years been rung from New Hampshire to Georgia. He should have spared the committee these remarks, if the gcptlcman had not, perhaps unwillingly, in some degree added to the odium which was cast upon one fide of the house, by fayisg that when he firft came into the government he found a general disposition againll the French eaufe , and even against Republican government (Mr. Nicholas denied having used this laftexprefiion ) Mr. S. said he so understood him. However, when he fpokt of the exinence of parties, he ■wilted he had looked on both fides of the quef tisn. But, said he, let us on this occaflon confine ourfelvea to the real queilion before us. We have been informed, said he, by the President, in his speech to both houses, of the conduct of the French towards this government, and have fiuce received the documents upon which this report was founded. He had not heard any gentlemen juftify the condudl of the French. He had heard, indeed, some attempts to palli ate or apologize for it, but none to vindicate it. His ideas of these things were, that the French had not only injnred us, but added insult to in jury ; and whilfl he retained this belief he could not help feeling indignation and resentment. Ou.- atflions, better than our words Ihew our desires for peace. It was a desire in which we were too much interested, t<> render its sincerity at all questionable ; yet it was proper that this desire should be accompanied with expressions of our feelings on the oceafion —What objections could there be to this ? If we were funk so low, if our fears of the French republic aie so great, that we dare not express what we feel, our si tuation was really deplorable- He hoped this was not, nor ever would be the cafe. He ho ped we should cultivate peace with sincerity. but with firmnefs. For if the French republic is so terrible to us, that we ttiuft crouch and fink before her ; if we hold our rights at her nod,let gentlemen fay so. And if we are to give our fclves up to her, let it be an aft of the govvern nurit, founded on our sense of weakness ; do not let u» conceal, under the appearance of spi rit, aflual fubmiflion. Nations, it was true, might be brought into such a situation as to be obliged to surrender some of their rights to other nations ; but, when this is done, it should be done with some degree «f character. Let it not be done as a confrfTimi of guilt. Let us said he, surrender any thing sooner than the fair fame of our country. He was not a military man, not did he know how he should aft upon such an ertafion ; but he knew what we ought to do. We ought, rather to die in tit lajl ditch. Why insinuate that rhe government had been wrong ? Was it not enough to submit to iajury ; foall we not only receive the Uripts, but kiss the rod that them ? But, said he, arc we in this situation ? Must we surrender any <*f our rights?—He knew if we fubinitted to injury and insult, this would be the unavoidable contequence. He disdained a ny reliance on the generous magnanimity of the Jrench Republic. He thought htr condufl to wards this countryjustified 110 such reliance. He was of oginion we ought to take a firm And decided attitude on this oicalion, and at a my rate, before we mike a surrender of our rights <we ought to make a ftruggleto retain them. Mr. S. said he had made these observations snore witn a desire to prevent any falfe reprcfen tions of the views of the house from going a broad, thau from a desire to throw much ad ditional light on the fubje£». For his own part, he fa * nothing in the reportedanfwer that could either irritate, or offend against decorum. We aiTertthat we have not injured the French Re public, but if foe will injure us, we will defend ourfclves. Thinking thus he should be in fa vor of the original report, and agaiaft the a mendment. Mr. Otii observed, that he was so little accudomed to tie mode of coudu&ing a de hate in that honorable house, that he hardly knew in what manner to apply his remarks to the fubjert before the committee. A fpe cific motion had keen laid on the table by the jcntleman from Virginia, which reduced the true queflion before them to a narrow compaft; but the mover in difcufTiaghitown propofuion, hart *&!.•• ised up<*i fuhjefts clear to his mind, and familiar to Wis reccllrclion. In this circuit t.c Lad been ably followed by the gentleman Carolina, »*d o theis; so thatthe whole fuUjeCt of the id» refs of the Prefident,,jnd the reply of the com mittee, was brought into view, with many tonfiderations that did not belong it.. It was his design to have remained lilcnt un'il the fubjeft had been cxhauded by other gentle men, and if any remark of an important na ture had been omitted, which was not likely to be the cafe, he would have suggested such ideas as might have presented themselves to his mind ; but a motion having been made for the committee to rife, he would then of fer a few observations, not so much for the fake of illuflrating the qieftion, which bad been done so much more fuccefsfully, but in order to declaie his sentiments upon this 1m portent eccafion. He so faragreed wiih the gentleman from Georgia, that he believed, upon ordinary Occasions, an answer to the President's address should be calculated to preserve an harmonious intcrcourfe between the different departments of government, rather than to pledge either branch of the legislature collaterally, upon fubje£ls that would come regularly- under their con.'idera tion. But the present was not an ordinary oceafion, and the situation of the country re quired that the answer (hould not be a spirit less exprefiion of civility, but a new edition of the declaration of independence. He exprefled his regret that upon this question gentlemen should hava wandered into a review of mea furcs and fubje&s, so frequently examined, so deliberately fettled, and which had a ten. dency to re-kindle party animosity. If they would never acqtiß-fce in the deliberate afis of the government, because perfonal sentiments had been averse t» them in the season of their difeuflion, there could be no end to controversy—for his part he conceived that all party diftinftions ought now to cease; and that the House was now called on by a warning voice, to destroy the idea of geogra phical division of sentiment and interest exist ing among the paople. His conftitucnts, and himfelf, were disposed to regard the inhabi tants of the southern fl&tss as brothers, whose featufes were cast in the fame'mould, and who had waded through the fame troubled waters to the shore of liberty and independence— He hoped that gentlemen would, in their tilrn, think the other part of the union enti tled to some consideration. The address of the President difelofed, for the contemplation of the committee, 1 a narra tive of fads, and of the exilting caufesofcon verfy between the French republic and our. selves ; the overtures for reconciliatios, which were to be repeated by attempts to negociate, and the measures of defence that might be proper, in cafe negociation should fail. The injuries sustained by us were of a high and atioeious nature, confiding in the capture of our vessels, depredations upon the property and persons of our citizens, the indignity gf feied to our minister; but what was more aggravating than the reft, was, the prafefled determination not to receive our minifler un til the complaints of the French should be redrefied, without explanation and without exception—until we should violate treaties, repeal laws, and da what the constitution would not authorise, vaeate solemn judgments of our courts of law. These injuries should not be concealed ; he did not wish, however, to indulge the unnecessary expreflions of in dignation, but to state in plain and unequivo cal terms the remonflrances of injured friend. ship. If any man doubted cf the pernicious effefls of the measures of the French nation, and of the adual ft ate of our commerce, let him enquire of the ruined and unfortunate merchant, harralTed with profeeutions on ac count of the revenue, which he so long and patiently toiled to fupport^—lf any doubted of its efFe£ls upon agriculture, let him enquire of the farmer, whose prdouce is falling and will be exposed to perish in his barns—Where, said he, are your sailors? Listen to the pas sing gale of the ocean and you will hear their groans ifluing from French prison ships. Such were the injuries, and such the requisi tions of the French nation ; and he defied the ingenuity of any gentleman to draw a com parison between the Dire&ory and the Briiifh Parliament, in favor of the former ; and in filled that the demands of Charles de la Croix were upon a parallel with those of lord North. He enlarged upon the analogy of the circumstances attending the pretentions of the British government to bind us, when we were coloniea, and of the French to us, now we are free and independent Hates ; he thought it expedient to cultivate the fame spirit of union, and to use the fame firm and decided language. He regretted that ques tions should be agitated upon this oceafion, which had been formerly the cause of party spirit and diflenfions ; and did not believe that the immortal men who framed the noted instrument which difflolved the charm of al legiance and (hivered the fetters of tyranny, condescended to differ about verbal criticisms and nice expreflions, thro' fear of giving of fence ; nor that it was incumbent upon the members of the committee to repress the as sertions of their rights, or smother a jutt and dignified expreflion of their fiifceptibility of insult, because the French had been once our friends, or because the commencement of their revolution was a ftru;'gle for liberty. There was a time when he was animated with en thusiasm in favor of the French revolution, and he cherished it. while civil liberty appear ed to be the obje&—but he now connfiered that revolution as completely atchieved, antl that the war was continued, not for liberty, but for conquelt and aggrandisement, to which he did not believe it was the interefl of this country to contribute. The only precise obje&ion which he recolle&ed to a full decla ration of our sense of injury, was the differ ence of the system, which, it was fuggefled, had been adopted by government, towards ■ lie Biitifh, under firailar circumstances of unjust aggrtflion. But if it were ttue that this difference existed, it did not become those who thought the measures of government wrong upon that occafiin, to advocate * re petition of error. In his opinion however a dilfeience of measures would be juflifiable by a reQedion upon the causes which induced the Briiiili dtprejaiiuns, anJ th'-fe to win <i the measures of the frem*'i miv he affi;ned j and yet there was not in fa<3 i hr variance be twee.i the plans reoomtfTonJeJ by the sup porters of the late Erse utive, and adopted towards the Britiflv, and rh f; whieh have been purfueC, and are now defended, with refpeft to the French, «ht;h gentlemen were ready to imagine. He was contented to re 1% the firft of these positions upon the fa£la, that the BritiHi were Simulated to annoy uur com merce, through an appreh'nf.vn that we litre united again/3 tkrm, and the French, by a belief that tufwere divided in their favor. To un deceive thrm in these opposite prejudices might have required or at lealt jtftified difli milar modes of speaking and ailing. Yet the language adopted, and the measures ad- j vocated, were nearly alike—To fay nothing j of the late inftruflions to Mr. Pinckney, the j famous memorial of Mr Jay to lord Gren vilie, which has been the fubjeA of so much calumny, was not couched in more concilia tory ot ttnafTuming terms, than the answer of the House of Representatives to the Presi dent's speech atthe la ft feffion—(tie rsad here the answer) —and yet it is intimated by our minister Mr. Pinckney (a man who, he hoped, was not meant to be-included by the gentle man from Maflachufetts in the description of Bri'iOi influence ; a man of high and untar nished reputation and known attachment to his country) that this very answer was pro bably among the causes of theconduft of ihe Directory—He then added some further ob servations, to prove, that when the country was menaced with Briiifh hoftiliiies, measures of defence had been proposed by the friends to the administration, comptifing the equip, ment of a navy, fortifying ihe ports and or ganizing the militia. Having thus, as he contended, demon' ftrated the / right and propriety of Rating our complaints, his adverted to the next im portant fubjeft contained in th- speech : " the refolutian of the Executive still to per fifl in pacific means of negociation," and what thus led to analyse the motion for a mendment submitted to the committee. He sincerely approved of this intention of the Executive, and most earnestly wished that it might be attended with success : No man could more anxiously deprecate a war, than himfelf, or was more impressed with a persua sion of its calamities; and he knew that his constituents were solicitous to avoid it by all honourable means. The preamble of this motion was not in his view objeiflionable ; but to cxprefs the sentiment " that the French merely intended to fufpind the ordinary, and bring into use the extraordinary means of inter course with foreign nations, was decidedly a gainli his judgement. Was it pefiible for any man of veracity to make this declara tion r If this was really the sole objett of the Directory it would hare juftified thedifratffi of Mr. Monroe, equally with a refufal to re ceive Mr. Pinckney. A wish to suspend the ordinary inter'eourfe would have been display ed in their conduit to the resident minilter : yet Mr. Monroe was not only permitted to reside is France in his public capacity for many months subsequent to the pretended grievances, but was told by the Diredtory, •* that he parted with their regret.'* It was therefore a mod absurd and humiliating apo logy which gentlemen were disposed to fur nilh to the French Dire&ory; he believd they would smile at and disavow it. He thought it degrading to make, in J heir be half, timid excuses, whieh they would dis dain to accept- The only chance for a pro pitious iflue by negociation, depended upon permitting the executive the constitutional depoQtory of this right, to exercise a free agency, and the subsequent clanfe of the motion, which diftated terms to tie execu tive in the removal of the inequalities of our. treaties, was equally impolitic and injudici ous. It was probable that the executive would make the concelfion alluded to by the gentleman, if an equivalent could be obtain ed, by a compensation for our ioffrs, and the security of our peace ; but of this he mutt be the judge, and we should leave him free to grant it as a facritice made to the desire of peace, and not authorize the French to claim it as a right—if it was known before hand, that the exeeutive was bound, and that the minister was inilru&ed, to remove a pretended eaufe of grievance, without any flipulation for an equivalent, he would com mence his overtures under manifeft disadvan tage. The Direftory, secure of one pre teufion, would probably urge others. In the prefentcafe, there was 110 reason to conclude that the grievance ariling from " the inequali ty of exijling treaties," which was the only one mentioned 6y the mover, was the princi pal source of our disagreement with the French, or that removing that alone vwsuld «lfe& our objeft. Did he therefore mean to pinion the executive down ta that (ingle con cession ? Or would he enlarge his motion, and diredt the executive to fay that our laws should be repealed, and the judgments of our C9urtß vacated ? Was it wife or politic to publiffo to the world, at the outset of an Em bassy, the ultimate terms that were to be of fered, and to fend an envoy with open orders ta accede to every demand of the French Natien ? If he was t» b.' dispatched under these auspices, let him be decorated not with the cap of liberty, upon which our former motto, was " liberty or death," but fuL,fti( ute in it*.place " humiliation andfubmiffiou to your will." He may then perhaps be admitted to th: honors of a fitting. Mr. Otis then proceeded to the last divi- Gon of his fubjeft, the means of defence re commended i'j the speech. It was, he said, unfair to conncfl with an approbation of such measures a difpofuion for hostilities with the French. War was the greatest of all pofli ble calamities into which the pride of kings, or the ambition of rulers, could plunge and provoke an unoffending aud neutral natior. He did not presume that any member in that house could derive a benefit from so deplora ble a condition ol society. But a small por. tion of them would probably go into the ar my ; and of that portion, few could expeft to make foitunes by their commifiions. A desire of war, was therefore entirely out of the queflion. He never undcrftcod that w: ;n contTOvrr .en 01 a threatening nfpeft fufefitieJ between rarnns-prefraratory aJii dt fenftve meafiMes were cor.ttrtird into aits o' liability, or iiiro a determination to mike war ()ri the contrary, the dfage of all na tions fa i£tioned CjcUACyu'luA. Hi; not however, rcfurl to monarchies, O" to great and formidable nations, for examples ; but to' tfie litrie republican canton of birfle ; That independent territory, was expoferl like our own country to the. unfounded cr.fjiiii.il tions, and unmerited oirtiages, of boltileand belli\;erenc nation*. But in ifply to the re quisitions of the French ; it bravely infilled upon the right of remaining neuter, and an notyicrd itsdrlign of augmenting iia milita ry eftablilhaieni, tor the proteilion and-.nain tetiance of its r.eutrality. Perhaps this car ton may be compelled to dipart from tilts sys tem. Possibly it 1,:.s no longer the power of exercising its own will ; but it will not be pretended that this defenlive conduit evinced on their part, a willingness to be engaged in war. It was then a fimpleenquiry, whether under the prcfent afpeft of our effaits, war might not be brouglft home to our doois, contrary to our wishes, and prior to a Hate of preparation. Gentlemen were willing to fay, that if negociation failed, there would bean end to every friendly relation between the two countries. Our poflure then would be unfriendly: and who can fay it will no: fail ? If a war with this country makes any part 6f the fxflem French aggrandise ment, we should probably have it without the forms of confutation. Do gentlemen sup pose that when negociation shall have abso lutely failed, the French will give us time to equip our veflelfe, fottify our ports, and bur nish our arms, in order to (hew us fair play. Let gentlemen consider our defencelefs situa tion in such citcum'tances.—Let them not pause until it should be too late.—The tide of conquell has deluged Europe ; it might swell the great Atlantic, and roll towards our shores, bringing upon its troubled fuiface the spirit of revolution, which might spread like a pestilence, poflibly in the Southern States, and excite a war of themoli dreadful kind—of slaves agaiuft their mailers ; and thereby endanger the exillence of that union so dear to his conllituents, and the reparation of which would be painful as the agonies of death. He concluded with many other ob fcrvations, having for their ofcjeit, th'e pre servation of the Union, the necessity of form ing and displaying a national chara&er, and a demonstration of the absurdity of suppo sing that the President of the United States, at this period of his life and reputation, could feel an inteteft in promoting a rupture be tween France and this country, by any mea sures he might adopt.
