If tjiere had be n a ptivGi al incapacity in the
mint to have coined a money, there
woiild, indeed* havt been a r-al diiiicnlty ; hut
if bullion only wss w inrefl, the oyly rtitans to
• iupply it woujd be to call in the foreign pnld
coin. He'hoped, .'hefefore, tbat the regulation
wnh relpeCt to silver would be agreed to, and
that the gold coin might be put on the fame

t Mr. Gall itin iintlfi-ftood tliat the gontleman I
from V.rginia ( Mr. Nicholas's) motion was in
order.
The Chairman faidh.e had mentioned his in
tention of moving a resolution, but had pot
handed it to tli« chair.
Mr. Nicholas said, that underftandirig his
motion was in order, he should make it. He
■would firft state one fafl, wnith would be fuffi
cient to answer all the reafor.ing of the gentle-
men from South-Carolina and RhoHe-Ifland
( Mr. Harper and Mr. Champlin)—Though in
the large cities hank notes were equal to every
purpose as a circular medium, ia the country
where he lived they paflcd at a depreciation on
( ly This resolution wa>t<> the following effe>fl:
" Refol« ed, that so much of the a<ft, relative
to fi|v e r coin, &c. as goes to restrain the cirru
llition of foreign coin, be fafptnded for a hrait
- edtirne."
' Mr. Gall; tin was in favour of this resolution.
He did not think the propofiticn of the commit
tee went far enough. It did not follow, as the
gsntleman from S. Carclina had dated, that be
cause a French Crown should be payable only
for certain purpofts, that moment it became aw
article of merchandize, which would rife and
fall according to the demand there might be for
it. This was the cafe with a'l foreign coins in
every country where they did not pass as a legal
tender. If there were any weight in the argu
ment of the gentleman, from 8. Carolina, *th it
hecaufe the collcAorg would receive crowns at
110 cent», they would alyays be worth it, it '
might be carried farther and said, that becaufc 1
, this coin has this value in any other country, it ]
cannot depreciate here. It appeared, therefore, '
that though the provision lecommended would ]
*►».. xemedy the evil, iti Fome degree, it would not *
remedy it altogether, and that where there was
not a demand tor this species of coin, it would t
depreciate in its value Mr. G. said it was clear. t
we had not more circulating m.-dium in tlic.
aoutitry than was neceflary for the purppfes of r
commerce, and that, therefore, the withdraw
ing any part of it would 6e au evil. It wa»
neeeflary, therefore, to enq'iire whether any
good would arise fi-om such a measure, to criim
tc'rbdanee the ev:l. The gentlemen from K.
, Ifiand and S. Carolina said, it was neeeflary to si
the existence of the mint What were the ad- f|
■■vantage* to be derived from the mint ? They f s
were told, that the g>eat objeift was to have a a
coin ot our own This oblervation could not '
apply to foreign silver coin, because the law de- -
clared that Spani/h dollars should circulate as
usual, which acknowledged that we fUod in
need of foreign coin for a circulating medium,
and that our mint was inefficient for the pur
; pose. But, in relation to the mint itfelf. It
was said, the proposed measure would force the
foreign coins into the mint. He wished to know c
how this could be effeaed? How could direfling vi
the coHediors to receive this coin force it into is
the mint ? Was it fuppofsd that the momentthe tl
banks or the revenue officers receive crowns,
they will carry them to the mint ? How had it
hoppened that, in receiving seven millions of , c
revenue from the custom-houses, that more of in
this coin had not heretofore Been sent to the at
mint ? And could it now be fpppofed that they w
would be compelled to take rhis coin to.the b<
mint ? In relat'on to gold coin, the gentleman j n
from South-Carolina had said, that the only
way of getting it into the mint, was to fay it
should not be a legal tender. But why thus
force the people to take this species of coin to
the mint j It was-clear it could not be the inter- ca
eft of government to have a mint, if it were
not the interest of the people j ind if they saw
, it to be their interest, they would take their so- j; c
reign coin there, without bring forced ro do it.
But, said he, if you suppress all foreign coins, r
you will do it contrary to the will and interell Wl
ofthe people ; (Scif'thiswcre the only meirsby
which government could ellabliih their miut, th
bethought the infhtutlon would never become a bli
very popular one. ' ca
Mr. Harper interrupted Mr. G. to fay he did
not fay that this was the only way in which the 1
mint could be supported. He said it was ene W
efie<s)ual method. cx
Mr. Gallatin continued his obXervatiors. frc
When the mint was firft eflvblifhed, it was said, it
that in three years from its commencement, there am
would be such a quantity of our own coin in s ol
circulation, ae would fupercede th; cereffity of
foreign gold, or silver coin. Expedience had r
shewn, however, that the friends of the eftab-.
lifhment were mistaken. There was not now a
fuflii-ient quantity ; but they were told, not
withstanding, that all foreign coin, except
Spanifk dollars and parts thereof, should be call- nu ,
ed in. He hoped not. If, when they came to f 0 t
consider the mint eftablifiiment, it should ap- >
pear to be neceflYry to take such a step, he '
Crusted they should take such naeafuresas would '
beeffei?lual, without putting any class of peo- P O7
pie to loss. Until the mint were eliabfifhed up- tidt
on a footingwhich &ouid render it equal 10 the met
supply of a fufficiency of coin for the wfe of fa
the country, he hored they should leave the a j
foreign coins upon their present footing.
On 'motion, the committee rose, reported /
progress, and had leave to fit again. " ea

,b-. celebrated with pomp the anniversary of ns
foundation. Jam about to propose to you
to honour the memory of its founders, who
es, have fallen vi&ims to their glorious zeal in
the cause of Liberty. They are no more ;
we enjoy the fruits of their labours. Every
ie- nation has revered and celebrated their Le
30 giflators and their deliverers ; public, grati
de tude consecrated monumentsto their fame
ee Harmodius and Ariftogiton had statues' in ■
o- Athens; Lyciirgus in Sparta. Rome in
to ftituted games, and raised temples to Romu
it Iws and Remus. The name of William Tell
n . is still regarded with affeftion by the inhab
it Hants of happy Switzerland ; his name is
, e engraved upon the rocks from whifh he pre
:k cipitated the Austrian ttranny j it is ecle-.
brated with enthusiasm upon the theatre
»n of " Europe, it is recorded in all the poets
,lf who have sung of Liberty and of great men.
a The name of Penn, the firft Legislator "of
•d the new world, remains dear to philosophy
rt and to humanity. Barnevelt and Sidney '
are remembered with increasing glory, and
their memory will live to the latest age. A '
cfcntury of refpeft and of tears has already '
avenged these generous Citizens, who died '
r . for their Country's Liberty. The names of '
■n, the Tirtuoud men who have founded the
ie French Republic, and who have periled in '
n its cause, (hall they be condemned to an in- '
, e gloricns descent to future times? What do
g I fay? An inglorious descent? I have '
_ seen them, while alive, perfected by envy '
r and calumny, direaed by malice ; they were '
•- worthy of the immortality of virtue ; their
s cotemporaries, by their ingratitude, 'and the
, friends of Kings, by their hatred of them, J
_ have acquired the immortality of crime.
Here the fcaffolds have been stained by the
blood of the brave Lcgiflators who levelled i
the firft strokes at the Throne, and proclaim- 1
ed the Republic. There, the murderous '
f steel, when courage nerv'd the arm, saved 1
. others from the hands of the assassins. Here a
. in savage dens .and frightful solitudes, they
hid themselves from the fury of their impla- "■
■ cable enemies. There, others fell before u
; the swords of Despots. Soon after, those d
. who had given liberty to the world could C
: not find an afyluni in their own country. A
cabal that was conspiring in favour of Kings 9
were nearly on the point of burying the re- -
mainder of its firft founders under the ruins
of the Republic ; and black calumny was
ready at hand, had they failed of success, to *
transmit their names, branded and stigma
. tized to a deluded posterity. R*prefenta- ~
lives, to you it belosgs to avenge these ac- ,
, cumulated ou trages, and to change the tables I
1 that were to proscribe Republicans into ta- ol
F bles that must immortalize them. Ages 01
; yet unborn, before whom you are one day
to appear, will call yon to an account for
what you ought to have done in favour of g
those who devoted and facrificed themfeves
: for you andyourdefcendants. Obvialetheir Sc
reproaches ; be just, be grateful towards I 5
your benefactors. And jndeed what do we
fee but cold statues, inanimate monuments,
vain allegories, that encumber your palaces,
your public squares, your public hal's : C<
while the hallowed images of the Condorcets Su
the Vergniauds, and of the firft founders of
the Republic, objefts so dear to every true
Republican, are as yet no where seen to So
speak to the eyes and to the hearts ot the Qi
people. No monument has yet been raised
in honour to those who, like them have de
voted themselves to the facrcd cause of Li- m '
berty. Buried in an unjust and ungrateful fcr
oblivion, they still await the tardy homao-e to
of their cotemporaries. Free Nations, of f'
whatever defctiption, teverence your dehV ■
erers, unless you prefer falling under the iTc
rod of tyrants. It is at the present moment w '
especially, you ftiould signalize your grati
tude towards them ; when the Liberty of M
Nations is at issue with the power of Kings, '
it is a gratitude which both justice and poll- Co
cy equally combine to inspire. I move that
there be ere&ed a monument with the sol- ~
lowing infeription :—" To the Plunders of
the prench Republic, who during the courfc of
the Revolution, have fallen vtdims of their
felf-devotioij to their Country"
The principle was adopted by the Coun- 1
cil, and the means of executing it were re-
ferred to a Committee.
On motiou of Males, organ of a Special
Cpmmifiion, it was decreed, that the excep- a " c
tion made in favour ofthe Dutch and Danirh
Companies by the 13th article of the law of brii

crated the republican institution, by decree

bours on the decadis, and on the republican nor
