Ted an amendment which went to repeal the lad
feflian of the firft law authorizing a naval equip
ment. This if agreed to would authorize the Pre
sident to proceed in tinilhing the whole number of
frigate* originally intended ; after a long debate
the moiion was negatived.
The bill wai further altered by finking out
the fe&ion which authorized the President to cause
tbcother three frigate* to be provisionally comple

sale of such of the articles on hand as are of a per

AT the Circuit Court, of the United States,
for the New-Jerfcy DiftriS. held at Trenton
the zrtU a very pert!#.* Charge *** del,-
*e ed to the Grand Jury by Judge Iredell, in a..-
fwer to which the following addrefc was drawn up.
unanimously agreed to by the Jury, and at their re
request delivered by the Foreman.
May it pli'afe the Court,
The Grand Jury of the Dill,id* of New-Jersey
have with great pleasure heard the Charge which
hat been delivered to them from the honourable
Bench. , .
While contemplating on the important ideas
which have been communicated, they have thought
it a duty in this manner to cxprefs an enure convic
tion d£ th<" trmh of fuctl «+,. uu..
lity of holding them up to p,ubHc view.
We are sensible that the opinions, paflions and
l'ntercfts ofßJivftJiliis, or of any particular part ot
the community, (Wild be subordinate to the gentr
al wHU and that a deviation from this principle, in
the recent inlWe which you have mentioned, pro
duced ihat mod dating and dangerous infurrea:on
which ypti have deftribed, and which eminently
threatened us with all the evils eonfequent fiom dif
corp, disorder, anarchy and civil war—We trust,
however, that the rife, progreft and fuppreflion ot
this enormous outrage .upon law, order and true re*
publicam'fm, will form 1o a page in our
hiflory, that it will long indeed, we hope forever,
remain afolitaiy inllance in the annals of our coun-
When we look on the world arround us, and
view almost eve-y country in Europe, torn by the
ravages of war, and behold thousands, nay, millions
of its late peaceful inhabitants, deluged in their own
blood when we fee the calumities of war extend
ing themselves to Africa and the Indies —when we
fee whole nations rn array, continuing fur that liberty
which we enjoy, when danger and fatigue conduits
the van, while famine, with al! her horrid train of
evils, is bringing up the rtar.—We fay, when we
look around us and fee these things, how do we
felicitate ourselves that we-are Americans; with
; what complacency,-with "what superlative delight,
do wc turn out eyes on our nappy, thrice happy,
country, blessed wilh peace, blefled with freedom,
blefled with plenty, where no rude hand dares ap
proach the peaceful dwelling, where tvtn
elt cottager enjoys his pittance-and his fentimcnt,
where every man, without hyperbole, fits under his !
own vine, and under his own fig-tree, and enjoys J
the fruit thereof, while there is none to make him j
afraid-.— Surely no nation on earth has greater rea
son for thankfulnefs'and content ; the rneafura of
our enjoyment, is tuß ; and scarce a reasonable wish
remains unfatisfied.—With all these bit flings in
(lore, with our cup full and overflowing, are there
yet those among us who are diflatisfied ? Sorry Ire
we to fay there are—there are who complain—there
are wko find fatflt-J-with our conftitHtion, with our
government, with public men and public meafure9
—furi-ly, if we are to judge of these by their effect,
and if the maxim be ju't, that by the fruit ye (hall
know if the tree be good—we must all with united
voice exclaitn, that we live under the happiest con
ftitution,'aiid under the best government that ever
blefled a nation.
But let us examine if there be real eaxife of com
plaint—The late Treaty with Britain seems to be
the present foundation on which those complaints
are built—tlis instrument we have seriously consi
dered both in its causes and confequenees.
After seven years contell with that nation, in
which every thing dear to freemen was at stake on
our part, we at length succeeded, a treaty was
formed in which our independence was fully ac
knowledged, and we took place among the nations
of the earth.— But, alas ! we soon discovered that
our confederation, formed amidst the din of arms
and the confufion of war; was of too weak a tex
ture to combinc so many discordant interelis, and
that nothing but the sense of common danger had
united us so long—A solemn pause ensued—The
good sense of the Union at length formed a consti
tution of government for tjic whole, and the people
willed it (hould be permanent—A coiiflitution of
Checks and Balance*—A conilitution which se
cures to every claf»of citizens their equal rights,
and to every order of government its regulated pow
ers—A conftitutioh wlrch has been the admiration
of the world, and which we hope will be cu-exift
ent with it.
To the head of t'le government, organized un
der this conilitution, the unanimous voice of the ex-
ulting people called that great man,whofe wisdom,
whose prudence, and whose fortitude, had led them
through all the various fortunes of the war, and
whose patriotifin and invincible fidelity had (hone
confpicuaus through th^wholecourfe of it.
Was it not natural to suppose that between two
nations jtift separated by the violent effects of a
civil war, and iiritated by the event of it, disputes
would arise refpefting the fulfilment of the article
of that treaty . by which they were separated ? such
disputes have arisen—it. has not been fulfilled on
their part, fay we—it has not been fulfilled in our
part.faythey—ihe psace contemplated by that trea
ty wasaffe&ed, hostile appearances were seen, mens
minds were agitated, a rupture was likely to be
come the eonfequence. War with all its concomi
tant horrors rose i; 1 our view. The executive at
this important moment stepped forward and mildly
said, before we plunge into a gulf so profound, in
to a situation so dillrefsful to any country, so de
ftfuftive to a young country, and so uncertain in
its consequences, let us make one more peaceful ef
fort, let us try negeciatiue t A negochttion is set i
on fbot.a new treaty is formed, not witji all the
favorable features we could have wished, couUl <we
have dißatcd, but iit our opinion much more favor
able to us than the dire alternative : suppose it docs
not embrace all the ohje&s we conceive it ought,
yet it opens to us a confiaerable lhare in the com
merce the European as well as of the Eallcrn
and W ellern world—it gives tit an opportunity »f

V No. VI.
THE « strong restraining flue nee," why,
Judge Wilson pleages himfelf the Koufe of R e
prefentatives should have over the Prefrdent and
Senate, although they (hould have « „ 0 aak
part in making treaties," is precisely the riVht foi
which the majority of that house are now conterfd
ing. If this was not his view, Iris words were
lufion*, merely calculated ad captandum VU U U S _
But if, accord,ng to the idea of the Prefiden? tr'ea
ties are absolutely obligatory and ihetuprcme law
of the land, as loon as his fiat is annexed to the'ra
without any possible controul of the House of U«'
prefentatives, to pretend that the latter have afiv
more " retraining influence" on the Preside.it ai d
Senate, with refp.dt to their treaty powers, than
the board of Aldermen of Philadelphia, is a mtie
mockery.
The latter part of the extra#, m t!lc
Judge lefeis to England, appears at firft f,„ht
have no small ambiguity in it, and is upon
with some hesitation. But the ambigur.y vanilhes
on a re-examination. The fears of the enemies of
the constitution had been very powerfully excited
about the magnitude of the treatv powers. To
allay tliofe fears, he firlt dwells on the " flrtmg re
flraining influence" of the House of Reprel'enutives,
—then gives a Statement of the practice in Eng.
land—and a(ks this emphatical—this unequivocal
queltion—">■ and <wi/l not the fa#e thing take place
here ?" Whit is this " thing" which is to " t<;ke
place heic r" Unqueftioriably the pra&ice in Erg
land. What is that pradtice ! That the Kir,"
makes treaties, and the Parliament deliberates wle
ther or no they (hall be carried into execution.
And is not that power which fatisfies a King of
England, euough for a President of the Uni'ed
States ? Widely do 1 miltake the age in tfhieh,
and the people among whom I live, if this import
ant queltion receives not an affirmative aniwer, it
echoed from Nevv-Hamplhire to Georgia* wuli
hardly a diflenting voice out of a thousand.
Thus, to candid men it will appear, that, Vert
were we to reft the queltion on Hie opinion preva
lent in the state conventions, there is, in this one
'cafe, a full refutation of the dodlnineon which the
President has grounded his conduit. This ctfe is
every way remarkable. A member of the federal
convention is chosen into a state convention far the
express and avowed purpose of removing the doubts
and difficulties to which the conliitmion. might be
exposed ; this member is a man of diltinguifiied ta
lents, long devoted to researches on government :
when such a man proroifes to the Honfc of RepVe
fentatives a " Jlrong reflraining influenceas a
compensation for the want of " an active part in
making treaties" (hall we be now told, that the Pre
sident's " coullrudtion agrees with theopin'«» en
" tertaincd by the state conventions, when ibey
" were deliberating on the constitution?" No, lir,
the thing is impofiible : And I ventuie to ft alee my
exiltence, that the President, wium he made this
communication, could not possibly have known of
this speech of Mr. Wilson ; otherwise, he never
would have hazarded an atfertion to which such an
indisputable refutation could be given.
Friends and countrymen, " hear rue for my
cause !'' My object is not to ejneite any at" tb« ao
gry warring passions—l despise the man, who,
whpn he fails of argument to convince, f) : es to Bil
lingsgate to blackguard those with whom he differs,
1 and tries to renr'er infamous th'ofe whose only crime
1 is to use that freedom of judgment on political fob
' jedts which our constitutions wifely lecure us on
religious. My ftridtures (hall be, as they have been,
preserved pure from such a foul (tain. T<» your
' reason I address myfeli—and I (hall do.so unbiased
1 by party or fa<£tion on the one fide, and by an un
-1 worthy fear on the other. I know the danger of
entering the lilts with such an influential chara&er
1 as the President. Were the crifu less awfu', I
' might (brink from such a danger. Bot in an f
mergency like the piefent, when the issue of this
question decides not o.ily our fate, but that of out
' pofttrity, not to press forward in our country's ser
vice, were worse than nuifiulmanic prodration —a
