CONGRESS.
[OUSE of REPRESENTATIVES.
Tuesday, November 25, i? 94-
Debate on Mr. Fitzfimons's motion rela-
live to felf-creutedfccieties.
(Debate Continued.)
Mr. Giles declared that he felt his si
tuation extremely delicate. On one
hand it was highly painful to differ from
the gentlemen on-the other fide of the
question. It was likewise extremely
disagreeable to be engaged in faying any
thing that might I'eem to thwart the
sentiments of the President, or imply
any want of deference or jjohtei'cfs for
fa eminent a character. He had en
deavored to (hew that the President re
ally never wanted or wished for any echo j
of this nature, and h? was still' convin- !
'ced that such was the fact. H : i

announced. the alter?;.:.-i /. i i :Lnti
meuta. There wa» one circurnftauce,
in particular wfcich perf-.., ied him th?t 1
the arguments emplo" . the oppo
site lide were- .hich was that
gentlemen wh, •other topics had
been clear, scute ir,< logical, could
not, on this lubjeft bring themselves to
any definite conltrufiion! At the fame
time* after hearing many .eloquent i
harangues for two dip past, he could
not fufpedl them for arty want of natu
ral ingenuity. One member (Mr, Mur
ray) had inveighed' ail locifties,
but when pushed hart, he excepted the
republican iiciety of Baltimore.
Mr. Giles proceeded u> draw, a pa
rallel between what is now endeavoured
to be done in the House of Representa
tives, and what has lately been done in
France. When onte the business of
J denounciation begins, nobody can tell
"'here it will end. Robespierre, its
great progenitor, has been its victim,
and who can tell what kit d of retorts
may be attempted in America. The
idea is not new ; and has always, in the
end, led to the deftnic*.'§n of the par
ties who were its au.hoijjf Mr-Giles
then adverted to tti.
I that hai lately been introduced into this
I place. We have hau two days of decla
| mntion. Looking at Mr. Sedgwick he
I said that one would thipk Demoithenes
and Cicero had nfen from the dult, and
tevifited this earth to inculcate their fa
vourite maxim of actio ! actio! He
~ ,v as sorry to fay uhat he feared was true,
that there was at least as much perional
irritation, s deliberate judgment, em
ployed on this jqueftioo, and more he
doubted of the former than of the kit
fodtf
tor.
I Ihe H'oufe had proposed to denounce
: the Democratic Societies. It was im
possible to fee where such a hufinefs
might end, pernaps the Democrats,
when they got uppermost, would de
nounce the Anti-Democrats. Mr.
Giles said that he employed this last
term, because the term of Arijlocrats
would, he believed, be unacceptable to
every party in the union. The present
amendment confounded the innocent
with the guilty. Many brave men had
ftept forward from these Societies on
the present oceafion. Indeed there
were no proofs that any member of these
Societies had been guilty, Th e : Balti
more Republican Society were among
the veiy firft who took up arms to sup
press the infurreftion, and, if Mr. Giles
was not mifinformed, many of the Phi
ladcJphian democrats had done the fame.
[This circumftaoce is perfectly known J
I'he inc&nfiftency, therefore, of this
vote of ceqfure, would itrike all Ame-
nca.
Mr. Giles remarked, that he would
be very glad to kaow what Congress
would fay to any gentleman, a member
of a Democratic Society, who had
gone to suppress the western Indirec
tion. He wished for leave of the com
mittee toperfonify such a man " lam,"
said he, " a member of a Democratical
Society. lam likewise a member of a
Republican Society. The moment that
I heard of the western infurreftion, I
took up my mufquet as a volunteer,
and marched three hundred miles to
suppress the infurreaion," Mr. Giles
could give the address, but he was alto- j
gether at a loss for what fort of answer
could he made to such a gentleman. It
had been laid* that when people censur
ed the House, that the House' were en-
:itled to return the compliment by cen-
uring them. This pofitiou Mr. Giles
lenied. "No Sir" said he, " the
public have a right to cenftire us, and
we liave ml a right to censure them.
We have a title, as individuals, but
wheh we undertake this' business in the
shape of a legislative bod/, we are as
much a felfcreatcd focietv, as any de
mocratic club in the union. Wc are
neither authorized by the constitution,
nor paid by the citizens of the United
States, for affutning the office of ten
forfliip. Look int ht constitution.
We are authorised to legifiate, but will
all, to pass votes of cenfme and repro
bation upon our cojflituents ? Sir, i)
such a clause had been inserted in tbe
constitution, it never weuld have gone
through. The people never would have
fuffeied it." Mr. Giles here enlarged
on the impropriety of wafting the time
of the committee, and the treasure ol
the .United States on three or foui
words of an addrels. it was said that
this-Was a delicatt f&bjeih Why ther
if with it ? wj are leaving the
: 'ie'ty of the people behind us by this
>v'.nd of trifling. Gentlemen cxprefs
their attachment to the liberty of the
pu-is and thev affirm that by this vote
of ccufufe they will not encroach upon
it. The diftinftion is extremely minute
between the office of a censor and that
of a legislator. It is likely that they
max be very loon confounded together.
Mr. Giles requested gentlemen to look
at the obvious confcquences of what they
were doing. It had been said, that this
rote of censure would Jink t lie .focietiej.
They were tumbling into dust and con
tempt. Why, in the newspapers of this
for to-morrow night. Thu ivas the na
tural prcgrefs of things. Here Mr. Giles
explained the apparent profpeft that
the newspapers will presently be fuffo
cated with columns of votes, resolutions,
and epistolary lumber of all forts. Mr.
Giles then Rated an tmpoitant distinc
tion. Many people, who condemn the
proceedings of the democratic societies,
)et will not clmfe to fee them divefled
of the unalienable priyiledge of think
ing, of speaking, of writing, and of
Persons may condemn the
abuse in exercising a right and yet feel
"he strongest fymoathy" -with the right
HfeV'' Are not Mufr and Palmer, and
the Oihei martyrs of Scotch despotism,
toasted from one end of the continent
to the other? And why is it so ? These
men asserted the right of thinking, of
fpeakingi, of writing, and of printing-.
\ct even their treatment, fho«»lHT>g u
it was» did not come quite up to that
p>-opofed in the committee, for the de
mocratic societies. For even these peo
ple had at least the Jemllance of a trial;
but the democratic societies have no(
even that. There is only one paper on
the table that brings any evidence on
the fuhjeCt, and that paper exprefslv
tells us that the feeds of the weltern .
infmredtion were planted by the very '
firft introduction of the excise law, that >
is to fay, some years before the demo
cratic focietiej had a being. The ex
cise and the opposition to it began toge
ther. The democratic societies, when
they heard of the infurreaion, concur
red in a most explicit reprobation of it,
and published their resolutions to that
purpose. Mr. Gites said that he him
felf could not be said to have an aver
sion to excise, for he had bean a friend
to the principle, and had only voted
against the law itfelf, becatifc it was not
reftn&ed to a limited time. A member
had yesterday entertained the Commit
tee with a panegyric upon excise. Mr.
Giles was very weU disposed to listen to
an annual eulogium on the fame topic.
Mr. Giles said, that he had been an
object of calumny, mifrepreientation, and
abuse ; but this should not hinder him
confc cus reditude. He should always
preserve that d:gnity of condudt, so treat
abuse with silent contempt. " I have
been," said Mr. Odes, " and 1 still am
diiatibficd with the funding system. Its
object at firft was to divide the people of
the United States into two clafles, Debtors
of honestly paying this debt. This is the
fore; and there is no wonder of the pa
tient sometimes winces under it. Pay off
the public debt, and I allure that my cen
sures of government (hall be at an end.'*
Mr. Oiles said that he had felt a pain in
differing from oq the other
fide of the question. He prefled this idea
upon their attention. He quoted that pas
sage in the speech, which has already beer
cited in a fomer fkctch of this debate, bj
Mr. Nicholas, and where the Preiidem
addrefles himftlf to every description of cl
Uzens. Mr. Gik • ii.fc red that the Pre
fident did not vrifh Congrrfs to ir.termcd
die in thebufimfs. It was not them bu
the people to whom he addrefled and whon
he wished to become eenfors. He w a
therefore confident with the President, bu
even had he differed from so great an autho
rity, he enjoyed the conization of havin*
come forward to the very firft ftei
made in America to curb public opinion
