OA. 13. | FXQM THE ARGUS. THE OEFENCE—No. XXII. [cosciomii.] It is now incumbent upon m: to perform ftij promlfs of replying to such objeftious to tlie arti cle as may remain unanfweici by the preceding rcnjevka. It is with piealuie I note thit the field is very narrow—that indeed there scarcely remaiM any thing which i» not io fiivolous and impotent as almost to forbid a serious replication—lt will theie fore be try aim.to be britf. r, It is said there is only an apparent reciprocity in the article, million* being due on out tide, arid lit tle pr nothing on the otlict. The answer to this is that no right being r^lin quired on either fide, no privilege granted, the stipulation amounting only to-a recognition of a - rule of the law of nations, to a promile to abstain from injuftict and a I,reach of faith, there is no I room for an argmerit about reciprocity further than to require that the promise (liould be mutual a« in v the cafe—This is the only equiva ent which the na !. tur'e of the fubjeft demands or permits—lt wauld a be diQionorabie to except a boon merely for an en - gagement to fulfil a rporal obligation—lndeed, as e heretofore intimated, the true rule of reciprocity in 1 flipulations of treaties is equal light, not equal ad vantage from each several stipulation. n But it has been fliewn, that the stipulation will be beneficial to us, by the confidence which it will give on the other fide, wbviatiug and avoiding the obftru&ions to trade, the injuries to and incum brances upon credit, naturally incident to the dif e trust and apprehenliou, which after the question had been once moved, were to be expefled—Here, if a compenfatioti were required, there is one—Let " me add as a truth, which perhaps has no exception, however uncongenial with the fashionable patriotic in the wife ortjei of Providence, na tions in a temporal sense may fafely tr«lt the maxim, that the obfervjn.-e of juitice carries withit it« s own aud a full reward. 3 It is also said, that having bound ourselves by treaty, we (hall hereafter lose the credit of mode ration which would attend a forbearance to exercise the right. But it having demonstrated that no such right exills, wc only re;nosnce a claim t» the negative merit of not committing injtillice, and we acquire the positive praise of exhibiting a wil lingness to r#notince explicitly a pretention which C might be the indrument of ogprcfllon and-fraud— It is always honourable to give proof of upright intention. It is further said, that under the pioteiSion of r this Ripulatiou the King of Great-Britain, who has already /peculated in .cur funds, (the afTertors - would be puzzled to bring proof oftl.efaft) may cngrof* the whole capital of the bank of the United Sta es, and thereby secure the uncoi!tro{jled dircCti non of it—that he may hold the ftpek in name of his-ambaflador, or of foir.e citizen of the'Ui.it ed States, perhaps a Senator, who if of the vn tuoui twenty* might be proud of the honotii — that thus our citizens it) time of peace might expe rience the mortification of being beholden to Bri tish Dircftors, sot the accommodations they might e want, that in time of war our operations might be cramped at the ple-afure of his majesty and accord ing as he (hould fee fit or not to accommodate ou _ government with loans—and that both in peace aud . war we may be reduced to the ahjeft condition of I, havingjhe whole capital of our national bank ad " miniUercd by his Britannic majesty. ' Shall f treat this rhapsody with seriousness or _ ridicule ? The capital of the bank of the, United States is ten n 'lions of dollars, little fhorf,/ at the ptefent t maiket price, of three millions as pounds Heiling ; , but from the natural operation of such s demand s in raising price, 'tis not probable .that mtich less than four millions ilerling would fuffice to com [ plete the monopoly. I have never understood, that . the private purse of his Btitannic majesty, if it be true as afltrted, that he has already witn'efled a re lish for fpeculatibn in our fuads (a fact, however, from which i. was natural to infer a more pacific difpolition towards us) ivas so very aniole as coa veniently to spare an item of such fize-fora fpecu . lati-m across the Atluntie. But perhaps the nati. - onal purse will be brought to his aid—As thisfup f poses a parliamentary grant, new taxes and new : loans, it does not f<-etn to be 3 very miuiagrahle ' thing, without difelofurc of the object, and if dis closed, so very unexampled an attempt of a foreign govcir.trunt would present a cafe completely out of the reacli of all ordinary rules, jullifying by the manifelt danger teu's even war and the confifcation of til that had been puithafed. For let it be re membered, that the article does hot protest the public poverty of a foreign government, piince,' or (lite, independent of the observation jull made, » that such a cafe would be witheat the reach us or dinary rules. It may be added, that an attempt of this kind, from the force of the pecuniary ca pital of Great Britain, woidd as a precedent threa . ten and alarm all natious. W-buld confluences like these be incurred ? But let it be foppoled, that the inclination (hall " exiit and that a!i about funds have been surmounted—Still to effect the plan there must be" in all the Itockholdets a willingness to fell lo the 1 B' itilh King ot his agents, as well as the will and means on his patt to purchase. yere, too, some , impediments might, be experienced ; There are per foiis who might choose to keep their property in the ft>ape of bank (lock, and live upon the incomc of it, whom price would not readily tempt to p-;rt with if. Besides, there is an additional obUacle to complete success 'The Unite'd States are them selves the proprieteis of two millions of tfie bank uock. > Of two thiags, one, eithcrthe monopoly of his Btitinnic majrlly would be known, (and it would b- a pretty arduous talk to keep it 4 secret efpeci ally if the stock was to stand as suggested in the name of his ambafiadur). or it would be unknown and tonrealed nnder unl'ufpefted names : In the former fnppofition, the observations already made r—l. '\ hat none but aci -11 tizrn of the United States shall be eligible as a idi e rector. 11. That norie but a ftockholdei actually . relident within the United States, shall vote in the 1 - jfhjftions by proxy. 111. That one fourth of the J director*, who aie to be defied annually, must ev f ery year go out'of the direction. IV. That a di- j 1 redtor may at any time be removed and replaced fey 1 > the llockholders at a general meeting. V. That a j e (ingle share shall give one vote foi" directors while I - any number of (hare#, in the fame peifon, co part- 1 > ncrfhip or body politico-will not give more than i • Thirty votes. Hence it is impofiible, that the Bank can be in f the management of British directors—A British . fubjeft being incapable of being a director. It is : e also next to impossible that an undue Biitith influ- ] t ence could operate in the choice of direfters, out 1 u o! the number of our own citizens. The British I 1 King, or British lubjefts Out of the United States, 1 could not even have a vote by Attorney in the i 1 choice. Schemes of, secret monopoly could not be I - executed, because they would be betrayed, unless 1 ' the secret was confined to a small number. A small < number, no one of whom could have more than < f thirty votes, would be easily overruled by the more t B numerous proprietors of single or a ftnall number j s of'(hares; with ( the addition of the votes of the 1 Y United States. J ' But here again it is to be remembered, ttiai <■• < • to combination with our own citizens, in which 1 <■' they were to be ostensible, for any pernicious for - eign projedl—the article under consideration is pei- 1 - feftly -ngatory—lt can do neither good nor harm, 1 - .since it merely iclates, as to the exemption from t - confirmation and seizure on our part, to the known t property of British fubjefts. t ' It follows, therefore, that the dangers pourtray- t « ed to us fn ni the fpeculatiugenterprizes of his Brit tannic Majelly are the vagaries of an overheated t imagination—or the contrivances of a spirit of d»- 1 1 ception—and that so far as they could be supposed f to have the leall colour, it turns upon circumllanc- - - es, upon which the treaty can have no . influence 1 whatever. In taking pains to expbfe their futility, 1 r I have been principally led by the desire of maki g ' my fellow citizens fcnfible, in this inflance as in ' others, of the extravagancies of the oppofcrs of t the treat jr. J i One aitifice to render the article unaeceptable has r 1 been to put cases of extreme mifeondtift, on the t ' other fide, of flagrant violations of the law of na- e tions, of war,of juflice, and,of humanity ; and to t a(lc whether under such circumstances tbe confifca tionor fequeflration of debts, would not be juftifi able—To this the answer is, that if circumstances . so extraordinary should arise as, without the treaty, ' would warrant so extraordinary an they will equally warrant it Hnder the treaty. For cases of this kind are exceptions to all general rules. They • would excuse the violation of aa express, or posi tive, as well as of a tacit or virtual pledge of the i; ' public faitlv: which describes the whole difference a • between the exigence and pon-exillence of the ar- n ticlcin queition. They referable those cases of ex -1 tremeiteceffiiy (thro' exceflive hunger for inllance) r r which in the eye of the law of nafurt will cxcufe d the taking of the property of another, or those si » cases of extreme abuft of authority of rulers,which a amounting unequivocally to tyranny, are admitted t to jnllify forcible rt liftance to the established author- c i" ities. Constitutions of government, laws, treaties, e > all give way to extiemities of fuck a description d ■ the point of obligation is ta diilinguifli them with b firreerity, *and not to indulge < ur pafTtons and iuter • efts in fubjtituting pretended f«r rea'cafes. v A writer, who disgraces by adopting the name 11 i of Cicero, makes a curious remark by way of ob- ' 5 jedtion. lie affirms that the article 'is nugatory, vi I because a treaty ir dissolved by a date of war, in o 1 which Hate the provision is designed to operate. If n ' this be true, the artiele is at leafl harmless, and the li trouble of paiuting it in fueh terrific colour night ' ha, [' e spared. But it is not true. Reafun, y wi iters, the practice of *11 nations accord in this r< pofi nan, tlut those stipulations, which contemplate ir the (late of war, in other words which arc designed m to operate in war, preserve their force and Ie obligation when war takes place.* To what end tr else all the which have been cited from ai so many treaties ?f , 0 * VaTil, B. iii. cb. x. > f 1 hit writer is as he is absurd ft LcfiJes imputing to Camillas, in general terms a e: cumber of things oi which he never dreamt, he has pi the effrontery to forge as a literal quotation from b; him (calling it his hot language and defgiating it tl by inverted commas) a pafTage refpefting the im prefiirig of feanien, which certainly not in terms, ai nor even in-fubftanee, upon fair conlliuftion, is to a( be iound in any thing he has wiitten—Not havin« ai all the numbers of Cictrt at hand, I may rrefisgs, w 'H he Previous t* a come'uiW, [ ;I ,aji ol,f me U ity wah a,v ie w ic, accuracy, that the article 1 T' \ rty protea«l all veflels, good* ;! „d mere!,,Ji«f fpeoes of propei ty i„dccJ, exce , t d .,,„ ,' ■ r J r h !
