Debate on Mr. Grisioold's motion, (COVTINVID.) O. Thursday, December 27. After alking leave of the house to (peak a third time, Mr. Nicholas apologized for again trou bling the house ; but the notice whitii had been taken of what had fallen from him,made ed it necessary. He had been charged with ad vocating principles definitive of republican nc government; as making a mo(l violent and wicked attack upon, the govcmmetVt of this ny counti-y, ami upon all its order and happiness. Mr. N. fuid he was aitonilhed that gentle- J men Ihould aot have remarked the difference 11 between the cafe which he had slated ; and how much they bring into queffion the prin ce. ciples of our government, t. make an ess irt r g to procure peace for the country, an ulurpa tion of the Executive authority ; by making re it as criminal to procure peace for the coun try as to bring war upon it. It would ap ed pear as if the goverpmcnt had been forced in :fe to a peace which they did not want. Can e s' peace, alked Mr. N. be made without the . concurrence of government ? Certainly not; therefore, the only poflible evil which could ifs a rile to the government from the interference of individuals for the purpose of procuring r * peace to the country, would be, that it might be forced to make pe,ace against its will, on terms which it dare not refufe. The natural and obvious difference betwixt an attempt to ga procure peace for the country, and an at tempt to procure war for it, is, that peace c ", cannot be made without the consent of our - government, but war may. Is it not pofli ble, said Mr. N. that a majority,of Congrels may have interest diftinft from those of their constituents—an interest which they dare not "J avow—which may induce them to wifli for war ? And if such a war could be averted ,(\ by any innocent means, the people would have cause to rejoice at the event. But it had been fiid that the peopls of America would not give a cordial reception to any citi zen who should be the means of procuring peace for his country by his individual exer tions ; that they would not accept of peace on such terms ; that the people of America wifti ed rather for war, than a peace so procured. Mr. N. did not think this opinion corredl. The gentlpman from SoutM Carolina, (Mr. Harper) had taken different ground from any ;g other gentleman. He p6int» at a particular cafe which is faijLto' have taken place. It would be well vi' that gentlenjan Iwd attend - ed to what hafl been said relative to that cafe, which was, that laving no information be fore the house, jib one could be said to un -0 derftand it. That it could not be said, that • e it had produced either good or bad effects ; and, not knowing any thing about it* the house could not be prepared to aft upon it. But that gentleman can always dive to the ri bottom of every thing at once. He has found a clue to this bulinefs. He has traced r it to a set of men (at least as refpedlable as himfelf) and made it to conlift of a system of treachery such as his imagination delights to conjure up. Heretofore, said Mr. N. these extravagancies have passed unanswered by me because I believed that no man besides' the fabricator of them could for a moment give d credit to such stories. These insinuations, II however, may have found credit; he believ ed they had. At least, they have been pro pagated by men whose views they answered. d Unfortunately, however, for the gentleman , from South Carolina, said Mr. N. there is :o one circumstance which renders it impossible r, that liis statement of fafts should be true :: We are come to the crisis when the faftion ° which the gentleman speaks of (if such an one exists) ought to make use of the fruits of the late agency (as he chufes to term it) but no use is made of them. And surely, if a faftion employ an agent to negociate with a foreign government, they will not do it for nothing. Yet this appears to be the cafe, ac cording to that gentleman. 's Has the gentleman found any member of this house advising us to lay aside our arms, and take a different situation from that in lt which we at present stand ? He believed not. y During the last feffionj a great many things t , were done which were thought by many un d necessary and improper ; but all agreed that >f we ought to be prepared for derending our selves. Now, said Mr. N. let the gentle -0 man from South Carolina use his own under „ standing, and fay how this conduct of gen o tlemen can be reconciled? That a party o ihould fend a person to France to get things a put into a certain train, and then make no 0 use of the effefts produced ; that when they , had nothing to do but make a disposition of 0 t^le business, they abandon it altogether. The gentleman from South Carolina had so long t indulged himfelf in themes of this kind that they muftceafe to have effeft upon the minds of the mod credulous. The only proof which he has adduced in (upport of his asser tion, that a certain gentleman who lately re turned from trance was the agent of a partv is, that an individual would never have en' gaged in so foolifh a thing ; that it would | have been an ad of madness in an individual and yet he supposes a collection of individuals would be more capable of this rt*d aft ' Tim J the person alluded to is only fit for our™,! ' W ° rk > a " d „ not so f* to undertake a work of extreme folly, as men of superior underftand lngs . The gentleman allows that there have t 1 een fan " lcsofacer tain religious persuasion < - 7 have £° ne B reat lengths in order to pro- t ure peate for contending nations. How ; ! did that gentleman know that the' religW f ° In a late tranfaftion. Tlr G p n l tleman concerned was educated a ' and though he did not now conform to the;r habits, he may still retain principles peculiar to that fe& which had been early inftiiled on his mind. It had been said, that the French govern ment has declared that they have a party in this country. Mr. N. denied that he had any knowledge o£ such a declaration. Ihe only thing of the kirtd which he heard of, was said by Mr. X, who never pretended to be an agent of the French government. Mr. N. denied that the outrages of the French government had ever been juftified by the friends of peace in this house ; and if he understood what had taken place in France of a favorable nature to this country, he believed no measure complained of at the last session had been since changed ; but that the relaxation which had taken place relat ed to measures adopted after that time, and, of course, unknown to congress at their last feilion. The gentleman from S. Carolina had call ed the tranfaftion alluded to, foolifh, weak and ineffectual, because no individual could produce a change in the conduct of the French government. Mr. N. differed in o pinion from that gentleman. He in moil instances, the efforts of an individ ual must have been weak and foolifh, and brought Ihame and disgrace upon the person who undertook them ; but he believed, if ever there was a cafe in which an individual might be serviceable in reftoriivj peace to two countries, it is the present. It }s not notorious, laid Mr. N. that if the French have enemies in this country, they have been continually playing into their hand* from the commencement of the dil'pute be twixt this country and that ?He appealed to the gentleman from S. Carolina himfelf wi ther he had not received more lupport in hit favorite objedts, from the conduct cf France, than irom anything else ? Theirfyftem had all along been calculated to produce a total dependence in this upon the enemies of France. If this was so, the French were play nj the moll unnatural andfoolilh game that ever was played by any country. It ought to have been in the power of a child to have illuminated France on this fubjedt. He asked whether the outrages of the French government had not been received in this country with triumph and exulta tion ? He knew they had, and he had seen them made tiie foundation of darling mea sures in this house. This being the cole, (aid Mr. N. was it not in the power of an indivi dual to fay to persons in power in that country, " you are acting very unwisely ; you are loling all your friends in America ; as to supposing you have a party in that country who would be ready to join your standard, were you to hoist it there, it is nonsense ; but you are establishing a nation al hatred there, which will throw weight into the scale of youj enemy." Would not a conduit of this kind have appeared proper to a person of the commonest understanding, and much more so to the gentleman alluded to, and such a representation could have produced none but a good effeft. Without knowing any thing of the million of thi» gentleman (for he had left Philadelphia a month before it took place) he did believe, that observations of this kind had occured to ® entlen,iin 86 likel y to produce a good efted, as they had occurred to thousands besides m this country ; and they were ob lervations which an American had a right • to, and which he might conceive it to be his I" 1 - 7 « r akc ' a " d which must I«ve had M M the , Frendl government. Mr. N. ha l heard a great deal about fub tgZZU J hC Femleman from S. Carolina had exprefled an Opinion that whilst the peo ple untkr a popular government remamu tt t| «y cannot be conquered d v force.

Let the government, therefore, said he take with too high a hid thlngS part of the people, to benefit anothe^ S M? N. believed that the gentleman from S. Car olina would not have been willing to have l.ved under any of the old governments, the overturning; of which he so feelingly deplor- ' ed—l s it, said he, the fault of the people that they live under bad government ? be cause they are bad are they never to be chan •h= conftan,| y telling *' bt do "' government.
