AMID the thundering! of Mount Sinai, the

the Almighty was pleafed to declare, “ thou
flult not take the name of the Lord thy God
in vain.” It would leetn that men who had
the leaf! eipe&ation of a judgment to come,
could not, in their foher lenfes, be guilty of
profane fwearing. Yet daily obfer7ation con
firms the contrary fadt; and fo lhamefully de
praved i> this age, that in the ftreets, market
places, and houfes of public entertainment dc
refort, men unblulhingly, and in the face of
the fur, utter impious oaths and blafphemies
which would confound a heathen. National
calamities are ou t the premeditated effects of
national fins, and the fins of individuals al£(t
iu drawing down the juft vengeance of hea
ven, inafmuch as they add to the whole a
irount. Hence the prophet declares in the
text, that his ** becauie of fwearing the land
mourncth.” And may we not fuppefe that
the thick clouds which appear at this time rea

r,f our trade has occasioned all our suffer
ings and dejection. The friends of Mr. Jef
ferson agd Mr. Madison assert however,
that the rum of commerce was effected by
the decrees of France, and the orders in coun
cil of England, and not by our embargo and
nonintercourse laws. But one single fact,
well known to every man engaged in for
eign trade, refutes this assertion. Since die
repeal of the embargo laws, we have carri
ed on great and lucrative mercantile nego
tiations throughout the world, if we except
the ports of France. Mr. Gray alone has
probably cleared huK a million of dollars.
If the non-intercourse bill had not been con
tinued, our trade would have been more ex- :
tensive and more profitable. But this law
has not only cramped our tnlerpvize and di
minished our gains, but France has made it
the pretext for seizing and sequestrating
all our ships and cargoes within her grasp.
The fact on which we rely* refutes all the
arguments of the friends of the administra
tion, for all this trade is now earned on in
spite of the decrees of Fi ance, and the or
ders in council. The non intercourse law
is the only reason, that it has not been more ;
expensive ;—a law too which has been os
tensibly the cause of French plra y anti de
predation. As a conclusive evidence of the
correctness of this statement, the papers
devoted to the national government endea
vored to help their candidates at the late e
lectiou by asserting rt,». «ly, that their par
ty in Congress was as eager to repeal the nen
intercourse taw as the Federalists. Can there
be a stronger proof, that the whole country
was at length convinced of the pernicious
eff ects of our restrictive system ?
The Report then asserts, “ that the belli
gerent nations regarded the embargo &. n<»n
intercourse laws as partial and harmless.”
On laying the embai^N* the French minis
ter Champagny congratulated the world on
th* co-operation of America with Bona
parte in his commercial warfare against En
gland. On the raising of the embargo, the j
French abused us as much as if we had en
tered into an alliance with England—they
pronounced it an English measure, an odi
ous contrivance, and the treachery of perfidi
ous friends. The embargo therefore was not
merely harmless as it respected France ; it
was me measure she desired, and it seconded
all ner political schemes. The embargo al
so was partial, as it was directed only
against England. But partial as it was, it !
did not at all affect her possessions as Mr.
Jefferson and in* friends expected. The re
venue of England has been large beyond ex
ample, since the operation of this mistaken
system. Her colonies never before were in
so flourishing and thriving a condition ; and
canaua owcj iu prosperity wholly to our em
bargo. The English ministry would not give
up any part of their system to effect its re
peal. At home, on our own farms, in our
shops, by our fiie-sides, we felt the evils of
this restrictive policy ; and our distiess, St
tiie improvement of Canada, are now the
onlj evidence ol its existence. Is the lan
guage of the Report on tins subject too
strong ? 1 confess i think it too weax.
Alter observing, “ that during the con
tinuance of the «mbaigo, Stc. the French
have plundered the American trade where*
ever they have found u within their grasp,
and that the English during the same time
had respected our flag, and convoyed our
ships,” the report proceeds to c insider the
consequences of a war with England, which
Mr. Giles and his fifsuds said wo must and
should have, as if kngland would not declare
war, we ought to. The loss ot commerce
would he certain. It' the navies of France,
and Spain, and Russia, and Sweden,cannot i
afford protection to a single ship, if they
rannot keep a merchantman afloat out of ,
soundings, what should we do without any 1
maritime defence ? Our fisheries would 1 e ;
destroyed ; our agriculture andour farmers !
would decline and become impoverished ; !
and instead of active, useful, cheerful in
dustry and profitable enterprise, we might
be employed in complaining of our distress* :
es, or wasting the blood of our citizens in
foreign conquests. And for whom ? We
might tak« Canada and three hundred thou
sand French citizens to transfer them to
France. We should prepare Ronaparte a
field and fortification tor his soldiers, I
whence ho would rush upon us at will, and ,
overwhelm our country. This war would !
necessarily lead to an alliance with Fi ance, i
It is in the nature ot tilings, that two nations,
engaged ip a war against a third power, should
unite. In war we -hould wish to injure our j
enemy, and in this s'rong desire, excited by
p.esent interest, and coi iirtned by our pas
sions, we should forget our fears. And to
what would an alliance with France le?d— !
in what would it result ? Ask the wretch
ed slaves of Switzerland, the oppressed
merchants of Holland, or the bleeding \ic
t*ms of Spain. The calamities, the massa*
. I 1 r. . t
«re, th** murders of people, who have devo
ted their blood and treasure to the triumphs
of France, teach ns what v*v aie to expect
from her alliance. We should soon become
a mere French garrison, which under the
pretesce of protection w u!d enslave u9.
Our religion which gives us lessons of lib- j
erty, our morals which c insist in truth and *
kindness, would be obnoxious ar.d hateful
to the tyrant, who needs siavery and treach
ery to support his empire. These he vvuuld
sap and undermine by sophistry and perse
cution. He would aim to secure suprema
cy by the annihilation of every thing dear to
us as freemen ; of every thing, which in
spires: th ,*e ieelings and sentiments, which
will It au os to struggle for our rights. And
shall we condemn our legislature for warn
ing us with the zeal ol patriotism, with the
solemnity t>l prophecy, against such a perni
cious, piofane alliance ? Shall we complain
because the Icgi-iature revolted at an union ,
involving us at fi st in infamy, and n iully in
rum f
i l we now briefly, and I trust honestly,
«• . ;*•„ • ihc legislature h-fve
a
alleged as furnishing “ strong and irrcsisti.
ble reasons, for the expression of their sense
of the alarming state of our foreign rela*
tions.” And as every honest man of *11 par*
tie9 mu?t acknowledge this statement to he
wholly correct, no man of prudence and re
flection will douht of the utility and wisdom
of the policy, which the report recommends
as proper to be adopted to prevent the exile rj
impending war.
If the dismissal of Mr. Jackson originated
in mistake and misconception, and if Con
gress and the legislatures of several state*
under this misapprehension were adopting
resolutions and preparing acts which might
prove fatal to the peace and prosperity of
our country, “ which might involve us in a
war with England and an alliance with
France,’’ it was certainly right, honest, anti
patriotic in the legislature of Massachusetts
to expose these fatal mistakes, and recal our
administration to measures, which might
secure our safety and promote our happi
ness.
If the embargo and non intercourse laws
had produced no such effects on the belhg'
c-i'ents as our rulers erroneously anticipa
ted j if they encouraged France in h^r out
rages and depredation, and onlv excited con*
tempt and irritation in England, while they
impoverished our own Treasury, and ruined
our own commerce, could the legislature
hcr.eetly do less than recommend a repeal of
laws productive of such mischievous et*
feet? I
If the immense fewer, the unprincipled am
bition of France threaten the extermination
of all f’-ee governments in the world, would
it not have been treacherous in our legisla
ture, would it not have shown a total and
cruel insensibility to the great interest of
mankind, to have omitted an expression of
their wish Pji* an accommodation with the
only nation, that opposes a barrier to the
progress of an usurper, who threatens tl c
world with universal tyranny ?
If the despotism of France has proved at
or.ee destructive to the liberty ?nd rights
of all nations, which have become its allies,
and at the same time depressed their mor
al chartcter, and annihilated their religion*
habits, was it not the duty of legislator s,
who had sworn to maintain the freedom and
independence of our country, and had pro
fessed their belief in the truth o( our holy
religion, to protest most solemnly against
un alliance with such a nation i
. . _ .... « *
This 19 all the last legislature ii*\e uon«
in their important retort on ow- foreign rela
tions, If this was wrong, let the people say
so. If all this was right ; if it was not only
justifiable, but the bounder* duty of our po
litical watchim-n to state these facta and to
express these opinions ; if any thing short
of this would have been a criminal neglect
of their solemn obligation, the good people
of this Commonwealth will kn^w how to
respect men, vhff reprobate and ' censure these
public proceedings. They will see ,vlio are
their honest friendt, and wl'.o are, by folly
or treachery, their worst enemies.
Further—If this report ws« not intend*
ed to prove a mere dead letter ; \i it had a
tendency to correct public opinion, r.nd in
fluence our national councils ; to repress
the zeal of deluded pride, and check ti e ca
reer of dangerous prejudice ; to keep sums
in the right way, and torn otheii from the
wrong, I might call on all honest men to ap
prove of statesmen, wht se measures prom
ised such a result. But I call on them in tt>is
case to go farther—to give to patriotism tho
praise not only of good inti but ot suc
cessful energy ; to rejoice, to t ti ■: report was
not only calculated to do good, but that it
has done good that it has t* en one mean
of securing to ua to this hour the r . *.r. l
