*■ So'tJ nays upon.it, that it might be fair
ly known what gentltmen in the house
were fur abandoning the naval arma
ment alto-ether. '
Mt. Giles said, that he had opposed
it in every rtagc,as an useless expence, S:
an improper way of attempting to at
tain the prxpofed object. He should
vote agsinft the appropriation.
Mr. Dayton thought that Mr. W.
Smith had afTumed an odd flile. Mr.
Smith had never heard him backward!
to fitting out a naval armament, and
yet he should vote agairifl the present
motion, ior this plain reason, that the
money had been voted already.
Mr. Fitzfimons did not know whe
ther the lafl year's provifionextended to
this. If it extends then this is an use
less proportion.
Mr. Boudinot thought that the pro
vifiou did hot extend, but that the mo
ney unappropriated was carried forward |
as lurplus revenue, and that a new
was requiiil# to appropriate over again
the money for the navy.
Mr. W.Smith did not suppose that
the former appropriation cjontinued in
force, or he certainly would hot have,
made this motion. He did not refer,
at any rate, to Mr. Dayton, when fee
.spoke of gentlemen being against the
armament altogether.
Mr. Dayton read the aft, whieh, as
he thought, made it clearly out that the
money yet Itauds in reserve. He wished
the point ducided ~efore the house went
farther.
Mr. Sedgwick recommended that
this refutation should pass in the mean
time. If the money was ah eady voted
this could do no harm.
Mr. Hillhoufe wished it to be with
drawn.
No question was taken on it, but a
committee were appointed to bring in a
bill o;: Ihe refolut onj reported.
report was next read on the peti
tion of Edmund Hogan, and made the
order of the day ~to-moriow.
The house next went into a commit
tee on the report of the fele£t commit
tee, to whom was referred the message
of the Pielident of the 17th current,
rejpefting the difpalition of Indian
lands by the (late of Gtorgia.
The fiifl lefol lit ion was read,ahd patt
ed witiiout a divilion. It was ia tiiefe
words :
Resolved, That it be recommended
to the President of the United States,
to uie all conftjtutionai and legal means
to prevent the infradtion of the treaties
made with the Indian tribes, by the
citizens of the United States, with an
alTurance, that Congress wiil co-operate
in ftjch other aiTU mi will prnppr f«i
the fame end.
The second resolution was then read.
Mr. Fitzfimons said he was much
ftirprifetl how this firft resolution had
got through the house without opposi
tion, for it was drawn in the molt lin
gular terms that lie had seen. It was
no less than a recommendation from
that house to the President, that he
would take care to do his duty. He
hoped that there was no necessity for !
admonitions of that fort.
Mr. Fitzfimen* was told that he was
not in order, as the icfolutiou had al
ready paired.
The second resolution was as follows :
Resolved, That it be further recom
mended to the President of the United ,
States, not to permit treaties for the 1
cxtinguifhment of the Jndian title to ■
any lands, to be holden at the inllance
of individuals, or of Hates, where it |
(hall appear, that the properly of such j
lands, when the Indian title (hall be ]
extinguished, will be in particular per- (
> fors : and that, whenever treaties are
held tor the benefit of the United Stats, t
individuals, claiming rights ofppre-em- t
tion, (rial! he prevented ifrora treating {
w: h the Indians concerning the fame ; ,
and thai, generally, such private claims [
be pttljponed, to those of the Several ]
(1 ites, wherever* the lame may be con- t
1 fillent with the welfare and defence of ;
the United States. '
Mr. Smilie rose, and wap speaking to \
t!ie que 111 on in general. Mr. Sedgwick {
rose and called him to order, and conti- c
nued (landing till him I elf was* called to
order by Mr. Giles. In the mean time [
Mr. Smilie moved to adjourn, " and J n
said he, '« I hope that the ; a
gentleman will allow me to be in or- 1 f,
der." He then spoke a few wards on j c
the rep rt. No quellion was taken on
the second resolution. But the com

TO require from a man, that he
should be in the fame way of thinking
' r - with omfelves, is to require, that lie
ds should have been modified as ourfeives,
in all the moments of his exiilence;
that he (hould be organized like our
selves ; that he (hould have received the
fame conititution, the fame food, and
IC- the fame education ; in a word, it is
to 1 the fame as if we would have him to be
j ifl our own selves. Why should we
not rather want him to have the fame
features with our selves ? Is he more
l °" mailer of his opinions than of his face ?
r 1 Are not those the necefiary confeqitea
ces of his nature, and peculiar circum
-1111 (lances which, from his infancy, have
necelTarily influenced both his way of
at thinking and of ailing ? If man is an
ln union of various parts and qualities,
ve should we not infer, as soon as we dif
;r > cover one of his to be different from
e oitr's, that he can neither think, nor as
sociate ideas, or dream ill the famejnan
ner with our selves ?

te river on the morning of the 2d. The
i l . canfiftcd of ouly the
five who were killed. They had with
1- them a war club, halters, bvidles, and
h spurs, evidences of a determination for
d war and horse Healing. The leader of j
1- this party of Creeks and his brother,
1- were known to maj. Colbert and others
is of his party to have been for years en
n gaged in murdering and dealing upon
ie the frontiers of Mero dillrict. Colbert j
bears the rank of general in his own
»" nation, and is as bi.ld and impetuous a !
Sans Culotte as even France can pro- ;
" duce.
The express also informs, that on the 1

To Mr.
- ■
WHEN you were firft admitted into
the mrional aflociatic., you tacitly ac~
L " haowlcdged the federative principle, as
■ its onjy fare fovndation ; aud do you now
. pretend to be furpr zed that a difcovt-ry ,
of your intrigues tending to refine tie
primary object to a plan, ftibortiii ate to .
your views should occasion difgui!,—
or do you yet hope by the
Xationil Name you can ever ff ake tie j
rti'olutions of men firmly attached to the <
federal government, and io a pawiolic 1
inffituticn ? If you do, yon liavelwely-mil- 1
taken your ground, when vou claim the f
national name and yet deny the pofi.bi
lity of perfecting the plan.
The only parallel I can reccl!e£ to
your cafe is the fable of the dc;< in the
manger. Had you avowed your ant ifedu al -
principles in the firft instant c, it bad be, v
honest, but yon cndeivour to gain a
in ijority by the aiimiilion of prejudiced •
friends, many of whom have little or 110
pretentions to a feat with the artiftsi Thus
damning the focietv whi'.e-you.pretended />
| that your views were pure and uprigh;, is ; I
i an iniiance of folly as well as of intrigue, j '
j frarce equalled by any of ycur former po- ' 1
litical con-'u<S. , | J
• From the foregoing you may at firft j 1
blush, suppose that this is wr tten froin a i a
; desire to expose you, if you do, you are j v
mistaken, for if you had not done this I
already, a regard to your numerous and 3
promising, offspring, would have been
enoagh to overbalance any disposition to
reward you according to your demerits,
for your impertinence and J'econd ftght on
[ the dejects of a non existent national uni
versity as difpla'ved in your late elaborate
publication.
But to set you right, if it is poflible, C
that you may in reality have imbibed tl
wrong ideas 011 the queftion.—Vou are f;
flow told that the idea of a national ttni
vcrfity was born with the Independence of ii
America, and that the litAary and other ji
refpttffable patriots w)fo have patronized n
this legitimate offspring of our sovereign- 11
ty, are busily employed in perfecting a 0
plan to promote the other seminaries by a "
federative principle t,o be combined with c:
this national head ; thus they hope to pre
vent the future neceflity of emigration in li
our youth to the corrupt and immoral 1 n
scenes -which surround the universities of
Europe, for which the father* of Ameri
ca will ever bless their names. And now
let me advise you to lay your politics
aside, and in future to adhere to the line I
of your profeffion only, if you do this
your friends and amiable family may still
love and bless. you, but do not mock Co
lumbia by calling an academical »!raw- I"
ing school by a name classically sacred to
national institutions only ; otherwise some
wag may be induced to cry in derision and
in ajlufiou to a story of Handel.
