Motion for a vote of thanks It General
Wa nt and his a my, and to the Mditia
•who quelled the InfurreQiou.
t jjfjrt Morttt»•
Mr. Murray said he thought the .pre
fect refutation proper, unexceptionable
and at the face of this quedion would
have an effedl 011 the motion for thanks
to the militia which he brought for
ward yesterday, he hoped it would suc
ceed and that its mover (Mr. Smith
S. C.)- would not withdraw it—gen
tlemen who are against the vote hare
talked of precedent—if exampU would
serve their feelings with a stimulus, he
would take the liberty of calling their
attention to a page he had in his hand,
in which they would find that fouie of,
our condiments have got the start of
us—for the Houfc of Delegates of
Virginia had very properly coufulercd
the conduft of their Governor Mr.
Lee, in a light which merited their
thanks for his acceptance of the com
mand of his fellow-citizens agami'l the
Ihfurgentj.. —Mr. Murray read the vote
from a newspaper which was a unanimous
one—He said he considered this cir
cumftancc as extremely auspicious. to
both votes.
He said he had no objeftion to con
sider the pra&ice as founded in princi
ples which would bear examination —
He thought it more neceflary in the ad
miniflration of our government, the
great balls of which was public opinion,
than in that of any other which he had
read or heard of—Here our theories
have made a bold appeal to th« reason
and feelings of our fellovr-citizens-r-
Neither titles, nor hereditary honors
nor erodes, nor ribbons, nor liars noi
garters are permited or endurable.—
Neither would they be accepted hen
were they offered—We hare but twe
ways, as far as his knowledge then i'erv
ed him, of rewarding or acknowledging
gieat displayS of public Ti'rtue—on*
>y 1 hanks expfcfTed by vote, or present
d and perpetuated in some memorial,
is in a medal. The firft is unequal, as
the fortunes ctf rfien differ so won I .'
such reward not be equally valuable to

j tedihe 'thanks of their country, and we
i ma/ fay so—They bad not only gained
■ vieory and fame—but had learned them
irt; foKtude where the voice' of fame
cotl'd heard—in a profound wil
derrefs Where neither the loothiugs oi
juit ambition can reach them nor the
fmil-s of social and civilized life can
camWt theih after, their severe labour?.
The militia, both officers and men in
?' quelling the iniurreftiori," had dif- j
played the wildom and virtue, which j
the conftitutiou had Anticipated, had e-'
| miritnjjy deferred the lr.oit public teili
i mony to their ;;ood conduct—Shall we,
|-as we certainly feel this to be true, be
beterred from expretfihg what wb feel,
because the folly of z fiitme moment,
may poffibiy ' us hito an undue
ijvjltiplicatior of tlianks—or betanfe we
rtiay tie hnrralTed'by a fatiguing fucceffi

could__te littje fear, that grrat events
would too f?.fi upon our. feelings,
and take time by applause; and
he belje,«td hiscohllituents would readily
admit the importance trf two fuel) events!
as fonreexciiCe for the time we consume j
in celebrating- them.
In favor of the principle, we are sup
ported by the example of the old Con
gress—by tlife praftice of all nations—
and by the blown chara&er of human
natnre in all cases and every where.—
T lie ancients and the moderns, by a va
riety of inventions and of policy, ana
lagous to our objeft, endeavored to en
list all the pafiions in the public service.
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*

weftimable memorial.
MPi Mtmar made a nunibcr of other

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.

In the midll of your triumphs, your

would be treason, and our mod sacred
duty is to enlighten you on the dauters
that fmouud you.
Our most dangerous enemies are not

Masks, endeavour to lead you to acotin

| Such is the character of- those whose

merits they do not feeL they callthtm
felves friends of the p® pie and love no
thing but power : they fpe ik of Ac

Frenchmen, you will no longer be
deceived by those deceitful insinuations.
Inftru&ed by experience you can no
longer be decieved , the evil has pointed
out its remedy. You were near falling
into the snares of the wicked, the Re
public was endangered, you exclaimed
with oue *oice : " Long live the Con
*ention !"—The wicked were confound
ed and the Republic was saved.
Be affined, that as long as the peo
ple and the Convention make one, tlx
- efforts of the enemies of liberty will ex
-1 pire at your feet, as the foaming waves
c dash again ft the rock,
s Having recovered your former ener

Rally at the voice of your reprefenta

that the guarantee of your libeity ia in
the flrength of the people, and then
union with the governor, it which has
deserved their confidence.
On their part, the National Conven
tion, steady in their condcft, fupportal
by the will of tlie people, will maintain,
by fubjefting it to steady rule, the
government which has saved the Re
public.
They will maintain it free from vexa

will maintain it in its peifedl purity and

who wish tolu'ly the one or exaggerate

They will maintain it until the total
deftruftion of all the entmiei of the re
volution, notwithftai.ding the hypoari
cal pntriotifm of those who cry out for
the constitutional government with p' r *
Sdious hopes.
Yes, we swear we-will remain at <>ur
