Had the hon. p-entlcman used his tifnal discernment and penetration, he iroidi) fee the diffeience between a commercial Treaty'and other Treaties. A commercial Treaty mud be lubmitted to the coofideration of Parliufcent ; f>e c«tufe such Treaties will render.it neceftary to alter some laws, add new claufea to foitie, and repeal o. thers. Jf this be not done, the Tiwty (s void,y« - ad bos . The Miffilippi cannot be difmembH'ed but two ways—by a common Treaty, or a commercial Treaty. If the in .'ere ft of Corgrtfs will lead them to yield it hy the firft, the law of nations would jullify the people of. Kentucky to refill, aftd'the ccfEon would be nugatory. It cannot then be sur rendered by a common Treaty. Can it be done by a commercial Treaty i If it Ihotild, rhe confeni of the Uoufe of Repreprefentativvg would be.rtq ii fite ; because of the cOrrespondent aheia'ions that rnuft be made in the laws, [Here Mr. Corbin il- In (baled his polition, by reading the lalt clause of the Treaty with Fiance, which ifivrs certain com mercial privileges to the fubjeits of Fiance ; to jjivefullcffed to which,certain coriefpon le it .'iltcra 'ions were necefl'ary in the commercial regulations.

Here the ftipremacy of a Treaty is too. trailed wilK tlie fupiemacy ot the laws of the ltat.es. It cannot be other wife ftipreme. If it dots not fuparcede their exitting laws as far as they contra vene'its operatian, it cannot be of any effect.'-' It wag at th.it day the cppofers of the conftiui tiou who infifhd, that the ' cuiillitutiou .".aye ihe Prefidejit and Senate the unqualified power of mak king all i revues, „and they contended that this power would work the overihrow of liberty. If the public fenriment of that day is to be recurred to tar an expofiiion of tfee conltituiion, he withcd to know whether the frntimsnts of the majority or minority were to be recurred to? Unless the gen tlemen would prove that the minority, gays: ou that occafionthe true exposition of the conllitution, the sense of the majority rr uit be conlidcred as expres sing the wilhes of "the people, under the opiuion which caused the ratification of the inilrumcnt. The committee had been told, however, that tlie deliberations of the North-Carolina convention bore a different afpcft : But here the e~exj>ected, '-hat this would not have been brought in as an argument, as the very treaty now in qnelh'on will (tand in Great Britain precitely on the touting here contended for. He might have rtcoftrfe, he faitf, to the pam phlet called the Federalist as another authorsy to prove liis. co;:f!ru£i:on. He. exprefled his liltprifc thst the jjcotJetr.an from Mnfl iiliufvtts Hiuuld never have l ea-d of these opinions and authorit" s- The debates of the Pennsylvania Convention, he under stood, were analogous to those in Virginia. 1! the President and Senate pofiefs tbiv unlim ited treaty nuking power, what Security, lie a/ked, have we for our rights. He was not referring,he (aid, to the perfSns now in office, who might be all virtue ; but he was speaking of the confeqnerce ol the principles, Tho' the PreGdent and Senate ol the present day might r.evi r make an improper ufc of power, what might occur at a future day mould be adverted to, ior the coniiitufion wafi noi intended for the present day only, bu. for fatuii times. As highly as he valued the President, ai much ns he felt for the great fei vices he had render ed— yet even he, he would not trull with such ui ounded Unl+m+teti po\A cr. nipt the, pu reft heart, and he wished to do nothing', thai coti'd call a (hade over that charafler whicl> had been the admiration of ths intelligent world.. But liberty, he contidered, as the best gift of hea ven to man, and he did not wi(h to hold it by the enrtefy of any man. The amendments proposed by the convention of Virginia were cited as proving that Virginia saw the constitution in the light Contended for. If they are attended to, he conceived, they could not afcet tain the fadt. 1 lie amendment in question goes to providing, that no commercial treaty (hall be con cluded without the confem of two thirds; ofthe lower house ; but surely this does not go to prove that they conceived the house had no voice in those treaties directly or indiredly. If it be admitted that the President and Senate can make treat.es which ipfo facto become laws of the land, without any atfent of the houf*, without their being able even to e'xercife their difcreu'on in making appropriations, then »%. ,S, £ • v % "l>. \ -*■: one cefr it murt he ib the wlier. It was ,0j f 0 V the President and Sen:,if that tie ri>nßitution formed ; but for the people, to preserve theii lib ties, and that conflitutnin would be infringed if \ intended check was done away by a Forctti (truftion. To give a power not intended when the londitntion was adopted to the President ami 3" nate was as much overturning the eftabliflred ordrr of government, as to encroach upon their authors ty.

It luggefted, that the present motion was forward, because the treaty is made vrjih Great Britain. Why should member* impute toothers improper motives. The insinuation he confideixd asun warrantable and groundless. For his own part » he was free to declare, that if the treaty » as tflc best that could be made ; if it poured a ilrcsm of wealth into the lapof our country, if made with his mod favorite nation, and i' nio.i be 0.., ' permitted, the government will lubjeft it to con stant violations.
