DELIVERED IN THE HOUSE OF REPRE-
I have thus far proceeded by way of a
strict analysis of every part of the corres
pondence, in which the insulting idea, as
serted in this resqlution has been said to
be conveyed. I have 'omitted no part,
which has been cited in support ot this
first resolution, and 1 think 1 have shewn
that it exists nu where in the letter of the
23d of October, either in direct assertion,
or by way of reference.—And it is con
cerning what is contained in that letter
alone, that the resolution under considera
tion makes assertion. The house will ob
serve that according to all rules of fair rea
soning, it would have been sufficient for me
te have limited myself to shew the fallacy of
the arguments of the advocates of this in
sult. It being always incumbent on those
who assert the existence of any thing to
prove it. I have not however thought iny
duty on so important an occasion fulfilled,
unless I undertook to prove what the law
yers call ” a negative,” and to show with
as much strength of reasoning as 1 had, the
non-existence of tbe idea asserted in this
revolution. With what success, 1 cheer
fully leave to the decision ot such thought
ful men in the nation, who will take the
trouble to understand the uigumenu—
There is, however a corroborate view ot
this subject which ought not to be omitted
The insulting ide/, said to be conveyed,
is, that Mr. Smith had a knowledge, at the

’line of the arrangement of the incompel
tencyof Mr. Erskine’s powers; and this
because such a knowledge was one of the
essential circumstances, which could only
lead to a disavowal. Now it does happen,
that neither Mr. Erskine nor his govern,
meut enumerate this knowledge of our
government as one of those essential clr- *■
cumstances. On the cqptiary, they con-
stantly omit it, when formally enumerating
those circumstances. Mr. Canning place*
the disavowal, solely, on the footing or
Mr. Erskine’s having “ acted not only not
in conformity, but in direct contradiction
to his instructions.^—Mr. Jackson, also,
in his letter ol the 23d, when formally enu
merating the causes of the disavowal, says,
expressly, that the disavowal was *• he-
catisa the agreement was concluded in vio
lation of that gentleman\4nstrurtions
altogether without authority to subscribe
to the terms of if.” Now is it not most ex*
traordinary that after such formal state
ments. not including the knowledge of o*r
government among the essential circum
stances, that it is on thin knowledge the
British government intend to rely, for the
justification of their disavowal ? I simply
ask this question, if the British did
thus to rely, on the previous knowledge of
our government, whv do they always omit
it, in their formal enumerations? Audit
they do not intend, thus to reh, in what
possible way could it serve that govern
ment, thus darkly to insinuate it ? But, as
if it were intended to leave this house
wholly without excuse, in passing this re
solution, this Mr. Jackson expressly as
serts, in this very letter of the 23d of Oc
tober, th.it the information of that fte||
•was derived from him, the
which, this resolution asserts, fie intended
to intimate was known at the time of the
arrangement with Mr. Erskine. For he
siiccifically says, “ I have had the honour
of informing you that it" (Mr. Erskine's
inn true tion, J " was the only one, by which
the conditions, on which he wan to con
clude wire prescribed.’* Now if M»' Jack
son had remotely intended to intimate that
Mr. Smith had a previous knowledge of
that fact, would hr have asserted, tha» he
was indebted to him, (Mr Jackson,) for
the information ? .Conclusive as this argu
ment is, there is yet another, in reserve,
which is a clencher. And that is, that
this very knowledge, which we propose
solemnly to affirm, Mr. Jackson intimated
our government possessed at. the time of
the arrangement, it is, from the nature of
things impossible they should have possess
ed. The idea asserted to be intended to
be conveyed is, a knowledge in our gov
ernment that the arrangement was enter
id into, without competent powers, an th®
part of Mr. Erskine. Now the fact that
Mr. Erskine’s powers were incompetent,
it was impossible for our government to
know, except from the confession of Mr.
Erskine. But Mr, Eiakine, before,' at the
ti.ne, and ever since, has uniformly assert
ed the reverse. So that, besides all the
other absurdities growing out of this reso
lution, there is this additional, that it ac
cuses Mr. Jackson,of the aetuielcim stupidi
•y of insinuating as a fact, a knowledge in
out government, which from the undenia
ble nature of things it isi not possible they
should have possessed. Mr. Speaker, can
any argument be mqre conclusive ?—l.
The idea is not conveyed by the form of
•he expression. 9. Mr. Jackson, though
expressly enumerating the owiy caftsee
which led to* disavowal, does not suggest
this. 3. Mr. Jackson expressly asserts
that the knowledge, that these were the
only instructions was deiived from him, of
course it could not have been known pre
vious tn the arrangement. 4 Had be bl*en
absurd enough to attempt to convey such
an idea, the yery nature uf things shews *
that it could not exist. I confess, lam ig
norant by what lessoning the non-exist
ence of an insinuation can be demonstrated,
if it be net by this concurrence of argu
ments.
Before I conclude this part of the sub
ject, it will be necessary to make a single
observation or two, on the following pas
sage in Mr. Jackson's letter of the 4th of
November, for although our assertion has
relation in the part of the resolution under
consideration, only to the letter of the 23d
ofOctober, yet this subsequent passage has
been adduced as a sort of accessory after
the fact. •• You will find that, in my cor
respondence with you, I have Carefully
avoided drawing conclusions that did no|
necessarily follow from the premises ad
vanced by me, and least of all should I
think of uttering an Insinuation. z where I
unable to substantiate a fact. To facts,
.s I have become acquainted with them, I
have scrupulously adhered.” Thia the
oibsequent part of the resolution tinder de*
»tie denominates ** repetition of the same
intimation.” Rut if the argument I have
