infant, was every thin* ; and tVu principL
the gcntlc;n?a fiom PencfylvanUi had teen
too prudent to defend. He had, on the con
trary . endfliyured to call away the attention
of t'lt hr.use fti>'ii the true principle, to some
trifling detail* of the resolution. In this he
acted wifely. Hut the gentleman from Vir
ginia (Mr. Nicholas) lef» cautious, had
spoken out with his usual candor, and as
ferted that th* pra&ice was proper, the
principle justifiable, and that he himfelf
fnould glory in having afted in the fame
manner. This, said Mr. H. is a candor
whioh I admire, for I like the man who tells
me plainly what he aims at, and what he
means- The gentleman from Virginia has
declared it honourable and proper in any indi
vidual, or set of individuals, who believe
themselves more fit than the government for
conducing the foreign relations of the coun
try, to take the buflnefs intotheirhands, and
adopt such measures as they may deem pro
perfor obtainiogpeace ; or, by neceflarycon
frquence, for accomplishing any other nati
onal object wh'ch thry may think benefici
al. X*
' This principle, so utterly fubverfiveof all
» regular government, has b#eri so fully expo
sed by my colleague (Mr. Pinckney) that
it is unnectffary to fay any thing more on
the fubjeit. But I request the house to
tear it in mind, when they come to a deci
sion on this fubjed, that this principle has
been jullificd and even extolled, by one of
the mod refpe&able members on the floor.
Little petty infurgems, the mere journey
men of fodition, who now and ihcn peep
r.ut t.f their holes to search for mifchief and
then fhriuk back to escape from punishment,
excite mere contempt than dread ; but when
principles utterly subversive of all law, or
der and government are opeuly avowed and
preached up .by men of character, station
and influence in the country, then it is that
we ought to be alarmed, and to prepare for
opposing their fchemcs with energy.
I am very sensible, Mr. Speaker, that all
this will be treated, by some gentlemen, as
mere empty declamation, the mere wander
ings of an heated imagination. . This ha 6
heretofore been the cafe with me, and it is
thus I have always been treated, by some
def«riptions of men, whose warning voices
for neglefting to listen to which some other
, cqumries are now plunged io irretrievable
ruin } to me these confiderationa appear to
be the must important truths, on oar atten
tion towhieh the preservation of this govern
ment, arid the fafety of this country, in a
great meafune depend. Ir is from this
quarter, from the introduction of foreign
influence, through the medium of domestic
faction, that the republican governments are
efpecialjy menaced with deftru&ion Mon
archies, despotisms, ariftocraciea, which, for
the moll part, depend upon the support of
a few, may be subverted by foreign force,
but popular governments unless quite con
temptible in point of ex rent, cannot be
subverted without the aid of internal di
vifiori. This division is effected by meant
of foreign influence, which mutually lup
ports, and is supported by domestic fac
tion; therefore every thing that tends, how
ever remotely, to faciliate the alliance be
tween those two deadly foes, is tnoft care
fully to be guarded agatnft. What Buona
faid to the Italian', after he had subdued
and plundered them, by means of the divi
sions excited by hirrfelf, is a mod important
leflon for all republics. •' While a nation,
" he, is armed, united, and disposed
" t° defend itfclf, it is always invincible."
Let us well refleft upon this all important
lefTon, and oppose in the threshold, by a
dnpting the resolution now on the table,
the firft beginning of this fatal alliance be
tween foreign influence and domestic faction;
this prolific germ of intestine division,
which if fufFered t» grow, will soon pro
duce the bitterest fruits to this coui^jry.

. LEGISLATURE
1 gentlemen,
, Ihe author of a pamphlet (now in my
. poffcflion) entitled " Conliderations on Pes
tilences, publiffied in the year 1721," ad-j
r dre fled to Sir Hanfe Sloane,' asserts, that the
feeds of a malignant fever were imported in
to London, in the month of September in the
year 17 13, from the Weft-InJies, and that
I several judicious persons that bad redded in
Jamaica, pronounced it to be the fame as the
, fever common to those parts.
" But, the feeds of this distemper (con
tinues this author) wafted from the Weft-
Indies to this island, having 101 l much of
their malignity, through the distance, and
, not meeting with a favorable disposition of
the air to cherish them, our northern climate
deadened the Waft, and rescued us from the
full force of its influence."
Dr. Warren, in his Treatise on the Yel
low fever in Barbadoet, in the year 1721 and
'733> /*y s > it was imported into tbat island,
each time, from Martinique, and that it was
not only contagious, but of peftilencial ori
gin. He charges Dr. Towne (who pub
lished an account of the Yellow fever in
1726) with having confounded it with the
Inflammatory fever to which Europeans are
fubjeft on their firft arrival ; and adds,
■" "Whoever will be at the pains of ooferving,
will soon perceive that the author (being
perhaps deceived by some phcenomena that
are common to all acute fevers) has blended
t9gether two very different maladies, I mean
the Malignant, and the Ardent fever, in
one and the fame description, without'any
discrimination of the symptoms proper and
congenial to each, and which plainly distin
guish the one from the other; comprehend
ing, or rather confounding both under'the
general title of Febris Ardens Biliofa."—
(Page 2d.) The fame author afTures us that
" the air of Batbadoes is is general rematk
ably frefh and pure——the land well cultivated'
and entirely free from lakes and mar&es,
and afmoft from woods, and that it is agreea
bly diverfified with risings and hills."
(Page 7.) At page 19th he remarks that
" New-comers and feafaring people are mod
liable to this contagion ; but it fornetimes
(though more rarely) invades the natives
too, of whom at times he has had many un
der his we."
Don Ulloa, in his Voyage to South A
nerica, chap, jth, fays, the Vomits Prieto
(the name by which the Spaniards designate'
the Yellow fever) was unknown at Cartha
gena and all the coast of South America,
until the years 1729 and 1730. In 1729
it was dreadfully mortal on board the Guawda
Costa, commanded by Don Domingo Juftini
ani, and in the following year on board the
Galleons, under Don Manuel Lopes Pin
tado.
Dr. Poupe Defportes, who re fide d in the
island of St. Domingo 15 years, viz. from
1732 to I74>> and published an account of
the Climate and Difeafesof that island, fays,
the Yellow fever is called by the natives, La
Maladie de Siam, from its being firft ob
served in the island of Martinique, at a time
when fome.Veflels lay therefrom Siam (a
country of the farther India, in Asia.) This
author remarks that this disease rarely at
tacks the Creoles, but that flrangers from a
colder climate are its principal vidtims. He
adds that the disease was a long time un
known in the islands. This opinion appears 1
to have been embraced by all the French who '
have written on thefubjed. And Dr. Paf
chalis asserts, that the disease was entirely '
"Xtmft in that island for a number of years
previous to 1793. '
Hillary, who published his obfermions on
the diseases of Barbadoes, in 1759, supposes
the Yellow fever is a native of the Well-In
dies ; though he acknowledges that the 11 a- 1
•ive inhabitants are in general exempt from
it, and asserts that it is contagious when '
highly malignant, or when combined with
foHie other disease.
Dr. Shotte has given an account of a fever
which prevailed in Senegal in Africa in the
year 1778, distinguished byyellownefs of the '
(kin and black vomiting, which was intro- c
Juced into the English hospital by some
black messengers from Goree, a French gar- c
rifon. Dr. Shotte adds, the disease was so
highly contagious and mortal, that of 92
white men that were on the iflana when
the French invested it on the 28th of January
r 779, °nly 3.? we re left alive, and Bos these 1
were then verj' ill.
Dr. Blane, in his observations on the dif- '
eases of seamen, asserts that the Yellow few l
differs from the Bilious fever in hot climates
both in its causes and symptoms, and that '
though it is chiefly confined to tailors and f
loldiers, he has seen it communicated by con- *
tagion even to the black nurses. He also
remarks that the Yellow fever is so much '
confined to the navy, or persons who have
buflnefs with vessels from more temperate
climates, that very few medical gentlemen
with whom he had converted at a distance 1
from the sea-ports, had ever seen a cafe of '
it—(Page 398.) • 1
" Dr. Mof.-ly, though he docs not suppose
the Yellow lever (which, like Towne, he has
confounded with the Syr.ocha, to which new
comers from a cold climate are liable on their
arrival within the tropics, from the fenlible
qualities of the air,) to be contagious, is verv
positive in his aiTertions that it is entirely
d fFerent in its nature and causes from the
' Bilious fever, '■ as all constitutions are liable
to the latter in hot climates, natives as well
as (I rangers."
t. Dr. Chifliolin, who, in 1794, wrote his j
observations on the Yellow fever which Ap
peared in Grenada in the year 1793, is posi
tive that the difeafr was introduced into
Grenada in the vear about five months
before it vifitcd Philadelphia, by an infefted
e veflel and crew from Bulam, a new British
t fettleraent in Africa—.And that it was so
s contagious and malignant, that it destroyed
mpre than 200 out of 500 seamen stationed
r there at that time, and before the end of
Augufl, one-fifth of all the native inhabi
„ tants of the town of St. George, in that
illand. Towards the close of August, at a
time when the atroofphere \vas very hot,
calm and dry, the disease cealed of a I'uJden,
and did not re-appear till the February fol
lowing.
Dr. William Wright, who had resided
r long in Jamaica, in a letter to Dr. Garth
fhore, dated Decembet joth, 1794, publilhed
in the 7th vol. of Medical Fasts, remarks
. that " Some late authors, who have written
on Weft-India diseases, have roundly aliened
that in tropical countries fevers are not con
tagious ; but whoever has had the care of
crowded hospitals, of jails, of ships of war,
or of transports full of troops, "tnuft have
seen numerous and fatal inftaireei of conta
gion in the Weft-Indies; more especially
■where chanlinefs and ventilation have been
neglected."

The committee to whom were referred the

the said resolutions contain sentiments and
opinions unwarranted by tbe constitution of
