FEDERALISM —TRUTH—ARGUMENT

HOUSE of RIPRESLN^TIPES,
March 2. '
The House bring tn a Ccum^tee of the mbcle,
on the Bill p: rotting the means of latere
course mith Foreign Nations, and Mr,
Nicholas', amendment bring under ton
fiderateon —
Mr. OTIS,
HAVING been absent during 3 very
elaborate and protracted ditcullon
I of the present amendment, and having
observed tfuh &j arguments pertinent to
the fubjett hed.&eo teeg since exhauft-'
td, he had been gratified by the belief
that the occasion would net require him
to express an opinion. But gefflemen
not appearing to be content; evqh with
the vety ample examination already be
-#owed on this question, without r^iew
log add cqftetfy enlarging upon if, he
would claim the indulged Cc of the com
mittee in hfiening to a few observations
on hrs rf/art, though he was apprehen
fyethat his p * errof utterance in <the
F^fent Bate of his health would not ena.
,& him to do justice erher to she lurj et
to to himfelf.
The objeas of this amendment were
ostensible and real. The ostensible mo
tive is to reduce the Salaries of two of
our Foreign Minifters,at Lilbon and Be~^
lin ; but various real motives, end ct 3
contrary and inconsistent nartufy wgre
assigned by gentlemen who fu„trced it.
Some avowed that it was a preparatory
measure to the difeontinuance of the
whole fyffem of Foreign inrerccurfe ;
others confeffed the probability that this
intercourse, toa certain extent, would
always be indispensable, but that it might
, be reduced, and the destination of the
Ministers fixed by the House ; others
again, contended tor the rightof fperi
fying the anou^ttof their fakries ;—but
all must agreHfiat one real, objed was
to try the thength of parties ;'af,rfa.fap
er, to fan&oio the pradice of an annual
invedive against the Executive, and to
confirm their right to interfere with his
meafgres.l
Strange as were feme of the arguments
used by gentlemen, he should think there
had been more colour for them, upon
an original proposition to eftabhfh or to
extend bur Foreign Intercourse, though
in that case he should centend that they
were not warranted by the Conftiturion:
but this quellion was not upon the crea
tion of a new eftablifhmer-t, it was upon
changing one which already exists.— —
The date and duration of its exigence
. ,are immaterial ; the dubate and deliber
ation which accompanied its adoption
were also unimportant. It was to him a
new doarine, that laws must be repealed
and systems ."unfettled, on the ground
that principles had not undergone a fuf
ficeot dilcuffion. Should this dedrine
of furprize be fuffered to prevail, there
Would be no ftabiliry in our laws, and no
cohfifteocy in our condud. When an aft
has puffed theLegiflature without debate,
the preemption is that its expedience was
too evident to be disputed, and he, who
would cffe& a repeal of such an ad, like
a plantiff in error, should be preclude
from objections that might have been
urged against the original process, and
be confined to a demonttration of experi
mental mifehiefs. - In the present in.
stance, however, he was net reftrifled to
his ground; the appropriation for the
Minister at Berlin was the fobjed of de
bate at the left session ; and though no
oppofitioD was made to the appropria
tion for the advanced grade of the Min^
iders to J/fbon and Madrid, yei the priw
ciple on which it was granted provoked
a controversy which engaged all the abil
ities ^nd ingenuity ot both parties.
This left appropriation was made on the
Ift of June, 1796, pursuant to the Pitfi^
dent's message of May 28, in tty year ;
but in the fame month of May tbefcufe
had decided in favor ^ the appropriation
for the British Treaty, after a delate
that continued many weeks, and which
involved the fame principle. It was in
deed a curious argument of the gentle-
