HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES. Tuesday, Norember 25, 1794. Debate on Mr. Fit%Jm<jtu't motion rela tive to felf-creiileilfocieties. Mr. Sedgwick's Speech. r ' (ccwci.t>D>D.) Mr. SEDGWICK, to expose to the conlideiation of the cotnmiltcc the public benefits derited from the admi • nillrdtion of the government, controlled the fituatiqn of the United States be fore and since the adoption of the con flitution. During the former period lii laid the American name was degra ded and disgraced—The iijf'/.ens almost intolerably burdened bv. taxes, and yet the revenue unproductive and public credit prodrate—The Itatee employed in legislative hostility. Private confi dence destroyed, and every friend of hi& country pf.fnfufly agitated with appre hension of flill more dreadful confequen ces—Duiing the latter period the A merican name had been rendered hono rable and glorious ; without burdening the citizen, public credit and privatt confidence restored; manufacture* in flituted and navigation extended, and every man enjoying all the blessings at liberty and security. This, he said, was a (tatc of society which ought not for flight or trivial causes to have been disturbed. That altho'wiih refpeft to the rnea fures of the government, and particular ly the excise, there had exi(led a differ ence of opinion, yet there was a very considerable majority in favour of it: And although iome uneasiness was at firft expressed concerning it in fevcral parts of the United Slates, yet cool and temperate difcuifion had quieted and al most annihilated opprtfition, when a so reign agent arrived in this country. The moment that man set his foot on American ground, he attempted the ex ercifc of the rights of sovereignty. In defiance of decency and the constituted authorities of the people, in violation of law and our diitfea of neutrality, he at tempted arming our citizens and invol ving us in the horrors of war. This unwarrantable attempt was defeated by the vigilance, rfnd the manly patriotic exertions of thi President. During the route of this man from Charleston to Philadelphia, he was every where attend ed by the Hofanr.as of tha difaffc&ed, and wherever he could find a fit foil, he planted the feeds offeditious opposition and the produce has been abundant in tlie democratic societies throughout the United States ; and wherev;r they have obtained a degree of prevalence a good disposition towards the gov ernment and theadminiftrationof it have been blalted. The people had instituted their own governments j fu'ch powersas they plcaf ed they had delegated and such as they chose, they had retained. They, too, had employed such. instruments as their wisdom dictated to express and to exe cute their will. But the members of these clubs revolting from tTie state of equality of which they said so much, had aflumed fun&ions inconsistent with every principle of republicanism. These societies felf created, without delegation or controul, not emanating from the people norrefponfible to them, not open in their deliberations, nor ad- V> it ting to them any but those of their own political opinions, and of endless duration, have modelily aflumed the dieratter of popular inftrit&ors, guardi ans of the people* guardians and gov- 1 ernors of their government : —These societies thus nnconftitutionally confii. tutcd, ought at leaf! to have been im partialin the execution of their a (Tinned | truth. What he alked had been their conduct*? Was there nothing in the ad /niijiftration of the government which would admit of approbation i They bad been either blind as to the discovery of any such aft s or dishonest in the fuppref fjorj of them. On the other hand these societies had loaded the characters of every man in the adminiflration of the Govern ment and who had aflented to its acts with every fpeeies of talumny and dan der. Slanders which they kuew to be unfounded mid falfe. They had not e»en spared the character of that great est and best of men which supposed to have been cloathed with inviolability. Not indeed that paltry inviolability which eiifts in confutation, al prescription ; but one infinitely more dear to an ingenuous mind, founded on the public gratitude, and resulting from diiinterefted and invaluable ferviccs. fodt It woukl he tedious said Mr. Sedg wick, to £0 into a particular rental of all the unwarrantable proceedings «f the Democri'-ical.Societies —he flnould theitfore content himfelf with mention ing only one or two inftances—withiii the recollection perhaps of jSvtry maii in the committee., In the Democratic Society of Wythe County, the character of the President j *as diredlly attached, and the people were expressly called upon to concert measures to prevent his continuance in office—perhaps this might be juflined on the principles of our government — they did not however flop here—they expressly exhorted the people to refill ' the constitutional idts of government. — Pe«taps it might be f»id that theie , trarifa&ions were in an obfeure part of the country* and that the members were contemptible, in influence and in j foimatiori.— Fbc fame could not be said of the society in this city, the centre ' of information, and the members refpec ' table for their rank in life ar.d for their political knowledge. This society had | expressly denounced evcrr trwfti who had I assented to certain huvs, ffi tyrants ; and at the fame time had declared that none would submit to them but (laves. L'et gentlemen, said he, dcteimine what ef fefls might reasonably bt fuppofe# sb result from such denunciations and de clarations, ilTutng from the fcSt of go vernment among the ignorant qnd Unen lightened Inhabitants beyond the moun tains. , It ought tp be observed, he said) that at the time of firft instituting thefi f6ei eties, the flape of sedition in. the fce#e of {he infurreftion was almost smother ed, but on the promulgation of their fenfiments, it kindled into a blaze <vhich threatened to involve in a general Con flagration the peace, happlnefs,- and fi befties of our country. He said these were the facta which the confederation of the fubjeit invol- and it was for the committee to de termine whether the President or these pernicious focfeties ftiould on thiSs occa sion receive the countenance and sup port of the representatives of the peo ple. Mr. Rutherford. This alarm is ow ing to AN OVERGROWN MONIKD SY STEM, with which the people are not entirely fatisfied. But the money-hold ers need not be afraid. The people will j pay the public debt. Then why dif I turb the traffqfiility of the peopli? Tlie President, in his ipeeeh, points only at combinations ov«r ilte mountains. As to the character of the Ptelident him felf, to praise him was like holding up a rnlh candle to ltet us fee the fun. " I have known that man," said Mr. Ru therford, "for these forty \ears. I have had the honor of serving under him in the last wai, and of frequently executing his wife and noble orders." The member declared that this amend ment could answer 110 ptirpofe but that of diftnrbing the public peace. He himfelf reprefentcd as rcfpe&able a dif tridl as any in Virginia, and he had as good opportunities, as any" gentleman in that house, to know the temper of Americans. They wete firmly attached to the present government, and the holders of paper need not be so much all aid ot democratic societies, for the people, to preserve the public tranquilli ty were determined to discharge the public debt, no matter how it was con traited, and therefore it would be much better hot to harrafs the public mind with amendment* like that on the ta ble. Mr. M'Dowell rose to make *n apo logy for some words which had efcaptd him the day before. He did not ex pert to have been so smartly handled. He had been forcibfy ft ruck *t the time, and had spoken from a momentary im pulse. In substance, however, he ad hered to all his former allegations. He still perfitled to believe that the excifelams •wereJbapen in darkness. He apologised for some part of his heat, from having seen and fuffered so much by despotic government, during'the last war, in which this gentleman supported, the chara&er of a brave and able officer. Mr. Hillhoufe approved of the a mendment as proposed by Mr. Fitzfi rr.ous. Constituents made no fcrupleto tell Representatives of their faults, and he saw no reason why representatives might not tell conftitucnts of theirs? ! The resolutions of Democratic foeieties printed in the newspapers, had spirited up the people in the western counties to resistance. They had weakly fancied • that the American nation would not stand by their Conftitufion and their President. • But, for the publication of these resolutions, there would have been no inlurreftion. This was a piece of information which the people of the Ui ited States had a right to know. It was the duty of that house to let them know it. The President had done his j duty. Mr. Hillhonfe did not collider j the present amendment, (of Mr. Fitz fimocs) as an indiscriminate cenfuie le- veiled at thcfe Cociet ««; he thought (1 only a suitable aufwer to that pi t »l the President's fpecch. ■ It was ianiuLcrlat to his m : nJ tfßfthri these societies weie legal or not—Lc cuu fidered that the Prelidejit would be un der inuilpenfable obligations, to an nounce to the twp honu-s, 4lie proceed ings of any, and all public bodies so far at he conceived the public iiitcrell was involved. Mr. Parker concludcd this long as b«eby a fixjit feriei.'ot rt;n. rks. He did not think tlrat Democrat L- socie ties were so far to blame as had been imagined. He fnfpetled that the fident himfelf, for wliofe character and services, he felt as much icfpe£t and gratitude, asany man in America, had been somewhat misinformed, on this point. It vvoold be absurd ta'fay, that the wellern diltifrbances originated from the publicAi»n» of democratic societies, if it could be proved, to ihc iatisfa£ti ofi of the committee, th*f litth dilturb aucesliad begun, long before any of the atToci'ations alluded to had a being. To prove this potition Mr. Parker desir ed that desk-might read a passage 'frbm.tHt; }:tt£r on that buliiieft written by Ms." iwd wliich has already bjeeh pubfimSa tn.a'lf, the newfpap£rs. The clerk accordingly .read,a part of the letter* frofn which Mr. Parkef in sisted that his inference was jncontcfli ble, and he then slated tfie abfurdlty of making thfc democratic publications the Origin of a difeontent, which cxifted before them. He was fatished that the President c'id n6t vvifii ibis thing echoed : and that he would entirely disapprove of the proposed perfection. Mr. Parker said, that he had the honor of fc&ngan honorary jnember of a democratic foci-: ety. Personally he knew nothing of the gentlemen, but he understood that they were refpeflable characters; and that they are friends to good ord#r and . the federal government, there could be no" question, for when the embargo, was laid lall.fpring, and fume reffels had been attempting to get off, thcfe vigi lant.citizens armed and embodied thefn fe!ve3, and prevented the execution of the deiign. He mentioned Snothei in stance of their zeal fm good order, but spoke in folbw a voieefchat he was not, in every pait of the house, diftfn&ly heard. With all his relpett for the Pfefident, he was not to give up his fentifrcnts or opinions for the fake of any mau. lie was convinced that all j this violent dev-lamjtlKin aud irritation in the ho life, would do a great deal of mifchief tthen it tranfpiieJ, and would have aa eflcft exaflly the reverse of what was defigued by the arficndm.; nr, as it fit It flood. A gentleman f Mr. Dextea) had spoke of town meetings, as the proper vehicles for the communi cation of politiial ideas, and had drawn a comparison between thefcanddemocra tic locieiies. Mr. Parker requelted that it might be noticed j that in the southern dates there neither were nor could be fucli things as town meetings, because the population was toci thin and too widely scattered. Tlrey were thert i fore to make the best of it which th«y could, and meet and deliberate, no mat ter where, whenever they found a con venient opportunity. Mr. Parker ex prefied in Itrong terms, the aversion that bis constituents would k-el to this species of censorship. He concluded with these words. " Tlier fove your government much, but they love theii ! ihdependence more." ( Debate to be continued.)
