The mcafure was objeflcd to by Mcffrs. Elf'" ingdon, S. Smith, Crabb & Nicholas, on the grourid of partially to the port of Philadelpnin. It i(vas fa[d that 2 cents pert6n were imposed upon vefTels com ing into the port of Baltimore, to' defraV.the ex pencee of keeping in good order that that ; there were certain impediment's in Hudson's river and others, which that lioufe might,' with the lame propriety, be applied to remove ; and that if tHe general government ereded piers in the BeUwart, it ought also to pay attention to the wants of ptber ports in the fame refped. It was replied by MtflVs, Swan wick, Sitgreaves, Hartley, and Kittera, that this application was made in confe qtience of an ad palled by Congreij in' August •I7 8 9>.by which Ihe general government undertook to keep in repair the piers in the Delaware ; that before the general government, was adopted ihefe piers were under the diredion of the Hate govern ment, and supported by an impost for the purpose; but when it we state of the Union ; when the refolutioi) for carrying into effed the British treaty being tinder configuration, Messrs. Gilbert and Tra cy spoke in favor of the motion. A call for the question was again made ; but upon the .fpption being put forthe committee's riling, there appear ed 5 I for it, which was more than a majoiity of members present. The committee aecoidmgly rose without coming to a decision. Adjourned. , The following is the letter which we yellerday men tioned to have been received by tbe committee appointed to enquire into the situation of the son of General La Fayette; (translation.) *' Rampagh, New-Jersey, March 28, 1706. « SIR, " I have just received the honorable resolution which the merits of my father have procured for me; express to the Reprelentativcs of the people ofAroerica his gratitude; my youth for bids me yet to speak of mine. Every day recalj to me what he taught me, at every period of his life, so full of vicissitude, and what he has repeated in a Jetter written from the depth of his priion. '•« I am convinced, (he fays) that the goodii?fs of the United . * :es, and the tenderncls of my paternal , friend, will need nothing to excite them." " Arrived in America, some months fiiice, I live in the country, in New-Jersey, occupied in the pursuits of"my education. I have no wantsi if 1 had felt any, I (hould have arsfwered to the paler- -1 nal solicitude of the President of the United Suites - either by confiding them to him, or by acctyting his offers. I shall hereafter consider it a duty, to < impart them to the house of * deigns to enquiie into my situation." t " 1 rtm as happy as a continual inquietude rela tive to the object oi my firlt affe&iom will permit. 1 1 have found benevolent# wiieirvcr I have been 1 known, arid have often Had the fat'sfadion of hear- ; ing those WM£ ignoiant of my connedior.s, . of tneir yMßft in the fate of my father, ex- j press their and partake the gratitude , ~ 1 feel for, the generous Dr. Bolhnan, who has done so much to break his chains. " ]t is amid all Wieftf motives of emulation, that I (hall continue my Itudies. Every day more con ' vinced of theduties which are impofud by the yood* ness of Congrcfi, and the names 1 have tl.e honor to Lear. e- George Washington Motier La Faystte. r " The Hon. Edward Livingllon, 7 ft Chairman, &c. j '• From the Columbian Cctiibul. • Mr. Rt'issL^, e- I fend you an extract of a letter received from i'- Philadelphia, which gives a very j alt, though flu id miliating pidhire of the present fta.e of things in Copgrefs It is one which ought to fill the bread i- of every independent American with indignation, t- What can be more mortifying than to fee thecha it rafter and the intereft.of our country bartered away ;r or facrificed by a remant of the Robefpienian fac ie tion, who, from the agitations excited by the emif ie (aries of that hypocritical tyrant, now compose t majority in the lower house. Yours, :r A Federal Republican* i, — d * THE EXTRACT. " The noisy war of the Haufe of Representa tives again li the treaty-making power of the Preli l dent and Senate, is over. Who, less than an epic t poet, can ttlT ths deeds of valor performed in adfion ? e Who, that has not the benefit of an education in . Babel, can and make others underi'and, . the gibberish of a Senevan, whose tongue and pi in s ciples are French! I have heard a sermon in Dutch, t and I did my belt to loek sober, and as if I was e s dified—So did Madison and Giles, while Gallatin, f the undoubted leader of the party, fputtercd out landilh sophisms, and drew out, thread by thread, . five hundred cobwebs, each of them too fine to be } seen, all of them too weak to bear their weight, , yet fif)gly, strong enough to catch and to hold Vir ginia flies. / " .'spectators, when they came into the Congjrefs 3 'Hall, were t-eady to turn back, supposing they had made a miftdte, and blundered into the company c of a foreign methodist teacher and his flock—if t they waited a minute to afeertain the scene and the actors, they would conclude the hall was a play s house, where th; French convention was represent ed ; while under this miilake, they would fay, the convention was played to the life—And so it was, . for the drift was 1 to play convention with the Pteli . dent. But as George Washington happened to be 3 a very different fort of man from Louis the 16th, . the refeinblance fails in the winding up of the play. . For, fays that great man, you are not the treaty . making power—therefore 1 decline to fend the pa , fersyou have called for—Having sworn to protadl . and defend the conflitution, future generations will . Call him blessed for thus opposing with fy-mnefs the usurping, unceuflitutional claim of power by the , Hotife. ; . " His message confounded th« party. Their doftriue was so faced down—so damned by confuta* | tion, that they seemed to lie, as the wicked will de , lire to lie, covered'by the mountains. But the weight of their covering made them weary, and the sooner, as it did not hide them nor their shame. ! Let the man of honor, the preachers of superior ■ purity in the jacobin clubs, exercise, as they certain- ' ly can, a kind of fellow-feeling for every disgraced , man—let them writhe, and twist, arid groan, only • to think of the torment that the folemii face mak ing hypocrite, so long disgraced by newspaper j piaiie, mufl have fuffered while that message was reading. He knew better—He knew the conflitu ' tion meant no such thing as he voted for—he knew ' that the doctrine was folly to believe, and madness ] to practice—but he did not kn»w that his old creed ] in the convention could be proved upon him, still 1 less did he apprehend that it would be- ( "If to speak t lie truth, above all to speak it in she 1 hour of need and of trial—to be eonitant and firm j in the avowal of political principles—be a virtue, ] then a certain-man is difgraced—for he wants that virtue. He mufl turn desperado, for which he ' vants nerves ; he cannot once more tura federalift, for that he now wants charafUr. He has of course, loft rank even with his party; and mufl descend to spin sophisms in future for his French fwperior in tommard. O, Lucifer, son of the ancient domi nion, how art thou fallen ! fallen ! fallen, finee the days when thy talents figured in " The Federali/1," and now-thy very talents render thy disgrace eonfpi cuous an.fchopelefs. " The plain good sense of the President's mef- 1 sage funk the hopes of the party Never were men more uneasy than they, in a snug polition be- 1 tween the upper and nether millflone. Strange as it may it-em, they did not like their situation. Yet ai they had chosen it, and bluttcred for three weeks about their courage in keeping the post, how could j they get off ? That was the rub. After some days of perplexity, they resolved to bring forward the resolutions moved by Mr. Blount. Now you will look very wife and fay, Ah, very good, the House afTert their right and fay that the President is wrong—.They assert, no doubt, in clear terms, I tn4 right the conliitution has given them inobfeure ones.—Thete, now, my friend, you are wrong = from beginning to end of your supposition. " Mr. Blount's resolutions, one would almost 5 (wear, were drafted by a French jesuit from the 1 college of St. Omm, whLh, by bye, is said to be the fact. They are not English. They a mount to something and nothing, and every thing" and any thing, jirlt as you efwife to read them.— £ I hey ejcpiefsly disclaim any t.eaty-making power c °! n- an;l are light. But o they assert, in daiker and looser terms than a for- si tune- teller would venture to fob off an iriquißtive tl old maid with, that in certain cases a treaty must a depend, for its execution on laws to be pa fled by c Congress. ; i " T ' le v "y P°j nt ,s that required light are left in I I he dark. Can the treaty making power (which Ir, the) modeflly, though rather late in the day, allow | n is not the house) make any treaty at all ? except' t: or dcc.uri the whole legislative power «f Cpmrrtfa : f; iiom the treaty-making power, which has been the avowed doctrine, and Which, though fneaking.'j- e d lias nought is the drift of the rcfolutioa, except the le gislative power of Congress, and the treaty making lat power is brought to nothing. Every treaty must r.\- have fo.ne operation, fotne force, oris it not an a >d* bufe of woide to call it a treaty > If i t (, as au> lor thoritative force and operation ; in (hort, if it i, 3 rule of lorrdudt f<»i uuf eitiaidus, it has the nature e. of a law | and thus It enters, according to the par. ty.on the ground of Congress. So ' that the dark rule of the rsfolution appeals on elimination to l, e =. foolifli and vain. It difclaiius tfae treaty nuking power in words, and yet, in effect, denies, and it i[ intended to deny, the right of the President and Senate to make any treaty whatever. f n ~n e >m word, their tefolutions are grossly, and 1 may fay u- m'onftroufly, deficient in propriety, truth and tx in plicitnefs. ift " Mark also, I prajr you, the words, a treaty n. must depend for it* execution on laws to he pafTcd a by Congress. ly " They did not dare to use the word validity or c- obligation, and simply in plaiu English to affirm, a if- treaty is not valid until confirmed by a law. That a was their ground in argument, and they hope the refaction will carry that sense. But they do not in this day of difgace for their novelties, think it prudent to put this ft range article of anarchy on the journals. You will ask, why not (land to the firft interpretation ? I answer, Isecaufe it has been !' knocked down again and again ; and all that was left for the party is, to wrap up the question ia ■ ten or tweiityfthickneflVs of words, and l'o hide It " from enquiry.
