The old Congrcfs undsrftood the springs that w6rk in great events ; and though there was in the gloriou* revolution which they gu:de«i an ardour in the pub lic mind, that needed little aid ; they did not disdain an appeal t* the just pride and ambition of the individual— that the motives to public virtue might be multiplied, they in many instance* to<Jc care tl at great events and fcrvices Ihoukl be.attended by foiiie small, but weftimable memorial. MPi Mtmar made a nunibcr of other remarks, u'luch want of room prevents us from publishing. Mr. Ames— The apprehensions of the house have been attempted to be alarmed; as if they were puihed to adopt haitily arid un guardedly tec dangerous new princi ple. The preftice of all public bodies without exception has been to efcprcfs their approbstioirof diftinguilhed pub lic frrvic *. Inilead of cltahlifliing. a new principle, the attempt is now made to induce lis to depart from an old one. Niiv-, thcyttjettton taken altogether is ftilj more incfiuSftetrt and lingular ; for j [ it is urged the answer of ihe house to i the PreGdeirt's fpe'fth has already ex- 1 prcfled out approbation of the condudt <»f'General W^yne and his army. It is, fay they, fuperfliious to exprtfs it a - gain. The algtimeiit opposed to the vote of thanks thus: It is a dan gerous new principle without a prece dent, and without any just authority from the conftiuition, lo thank the ar my ; for, the obje&or* add, we have in the answer to the speech e*prefTcd all that is contained in the motion. It is unufital to quote precedent, and our; own recent eondufl, to prove a motion unprecedented, ind to prove a measure new and dangerous because it has been adopted without question or apprehen sion heretofoie. The thanks of tint body addrefied di re<% to the aimy will be much more acceptable than *n opinion concerning; them in our anifver to the fprech, and which they may «ot happen ever to hcai of. It has I-.-en said with a» air of tri umph, that we are. to be guided bv reasoning, not feeling, as if I had made • n attempt by in appeal to the latter to lead the houfc aftrHy. Tina observati on appears to have made some imprefli on, arid it is proper therefore to notice it. Reason it the ted of what is true and what ij ufefuj. When our inteiefts are depending on a vote, we cannot be too circumfpeft to avoid the intrusion of our feelings. During the lad fefiion, the oppofers of the measures which were then urged upon the house, used all their endeavours to expose their injuri ons tendency. Some of those who! would now pa fa for all teafon, made a boast then of being all feeling. Then they reproached us with an unchangea ble adherence lo what we thought the intereftrof the country ; on lWh ques tions where error may be ruin, the paf (ions turn traitors. On such occasions we had out feelings, but we thought ourselves bound by all that we owed to duty and our country to suppress thtm. It was then proper, tu be cool, conside rate and cautious. But is the prcfent question of such a nature ? It has nothing to decide re fpedting the abftrad truth of the pro- . v ' ir, _ pofitlw, tor the iffettion •osteined in c the vote of the Vnerit of the army it up i dcnia .le—it cannot he opposed by auy n plea as public duly, for it it not an a6t - of authority, nor will it afl'eil »Dy one - iotercft or light of Society. f It is limply a queiiion of mere pro l- pricty; and i» it a novelty, is it any i thing to alarm the caution of the house, . that such quellicns are always to be de -1 cided by feeling J What but the fenfje of propriety induces me to perfaini to 1 others the namdefs and arbitrary duties, - and to receive from others the rights - which the civilities and refinements of . life have eredlcd into laws ?In cases of e a more feiious kind, is not fentfment , the only prompt and enlightened guide , of oui conduit ?If I receive a favor, : what but. the fentiv.ent of gratitude ought to diredt me in my acknowledge - ments ? Shall Igoto my btnefadior and fay, Sir, I a<ft coollyand carefully— ' • i will examine all the Ci'rcumlhuicts of , this traniadiion, and if upon the whole ! 1 iiiid feme cause of gratitude, I will thank you. Is thisgratitude or HtfuU ? ; The man who afTefl* to hold his feel ings, and Ins betl feelings back for this coldblooded proceia.of reasoning, has noiee, He deceives himfelf, and at tempts to deceive others it he pretends to reason up or to reafort down the im preflions which actions, worthy df gra titude and admiration, make upon his heart. Was it neceflary jo wait for the joy and exultation which the new 3 of the vi&ory of General Wayne m iiantly inspired, till we could proceed with all due phlegm and caution to el nalyfe it ? The from Virgi nia (Mr. Nicholas) hat aot even yet received the impieffiou* which are so natural and so uearly uuiveWal j for he has infilled that the umy he* only done it* duty, and therefore it i* improper to expref* our thank*. Indeed it ba* done it* duty, but in a manner the most splendid, tbc tnoit wtnliiy of admiration and thajik*. That gcntiepiao has alio exprefied hi* dcubt* of the very ijapor- , tact nature of the vielot-y, and ope 1 would suppose it wad thought by many a very trivial advantage that u gained. ] It is furh an one, however, at h?* hum- ' bleu a vifi; rious foe, as ha» avenged the 1 flansjhter of two armies, as gives ug the I n-afouable prof} set of a speedy peace. ! Can we desire any thing more ardently j I than a termination of the Indian wai ? • The fame gentleman, or some other oppoling the vote of thanks, has laid, s if our armies have done well, they ate i paid for it: as if money wit the mea- ' fute and the recompence of merit. No, 1 Sir, our soldiers did not reason coldly [ t (as we arc now exhorted to do) in the »r day of battle. When the war whoop if would have fiirnnk hearts that had nn- I thing more than rtofumug <>n their wa shes and their fervieta to animate their., did our brave soldiers think only of their nine-pence a day : If they had, we should not have had thi* w occalron i offer to them the thankt of the na- A soldier of all men looks to tlii* kind of recompence for hi* fervicea; and finely to look to the approbation and applause of his country, i* one meant of keeping alive the fentimenti ofciti zei>{h:p which ought not to be fuffieied to expiie even m a camp. Shall we make it an ex<nfe foe refilling to past tliii vote thst we eftablifn the principle of thanking nobody : It not thii, at a piinciple, s* novel, *e improper, at that which alarm* our opponent* ? And shall we eAabliftt it ss a principle against th* known p;nsioe of oiher afTemlille* and of thi«, arid aguuift the :ntrinfic pro priety of the cafe, merely becaufc we think our dtferetion will not be firm enough in future to prevent the abuse of the przfh'ce? Scarcely any abuse could have a worse influence than the refufai to adopt this vote, because should the negative prevail, v. ! ; t would the ar my believe ?' Would they not fay, a vote of thanks lias been rejt-Aed ? It is said we have not done ranch, and what we have done is merely out duty, for which we rece ; - e wages ? The debate has tfken such a turn, •hat I confefs I could 1 i:,ve wi/hed tlie motion had not been made. For the mod aukward and ridiculous thing in the world is to express out - gratitude lothly. Rut at k-.iii it offers to those wlio fear that votes of thanks will be too frequent, some fccuri'.y against their apprehensions. Would any man rifle the feelings and chara&er of his friend by an attempt to force a vote of thanks by a bare majority thro' the houfc ? No—as ingenuous n;ir.d will shrink from this prois reward. If there is any foice in ttiff precedent it is feareil we are now maki'tg, it will operate more to deter from than to invite the repeti tion.
