Mr. Otis's Speech,
On the amendment of the Foreign Inter
course Bill—Continued.
I h/TR- Otis contended that this view
of the question was fufficient to
, fatisty the calm and dispassionate enqui
ries of those who limited their right te
interfere with this power of the Execu
tive, to cafesof adual abufe—lt would
be fatisfadory to fay to those, point out
the abuse, and we will unite with you
in devising a remedy ; and where they
tailed to do this, it would be more than
fatisfadory to assume the burden of proof
and demonstrate that the authority has
been exercised for the public advantage.
But there are other men whose enjoy
ment of the present is always clouded by
a gloomy anticipation of the future, and
who are never contented with the most
ample measure of present liberty and se
curity ; but brood over the histories of
kings, and the oppressors of arbitrary
power, until tbeir imaginations are heat
ed by day, and their visions disturbed
by night, by the fpedre of tyranny Balk
ing over their country. — “ Whence and
what art thou, execrable shape !" is the
question proposed by their startled fancy,
to every proposition and measure of the
Executive. This jealousy is uncomfort
able to themselves, and inconvenient to
those with whom they are called to a&,
but it is sincere, it therefore deserves to
be reasoned with, to be pitied and forgiv
en.—There are afro other men much less
innocent, who really feel no such jeai
oufy, but who exped to promote their
views by an apparently noble and patri
otic affection of it. These are the
exclusive guardians of the public wel
fare, the centinels who forewarn us of
future danger) the political quacks who
acknowledge^he body politic to be in
perfect health, but at the fame time fore
tell its untimely diffolutioa, unless they
are permitted to furfeit it with their nos
trums, and to bleed and blister it into
long life. These men make a load out
cry against all influence which they do
not (bare, and patronage under which
they do not balk. Now between these
two descriptions, these overheated be
lievers and hypocriti&l profeffors, it is
extremely difficult to distinguish.—They
utter ttyeir lamentation,^ the fame
language, and they avail thfanfelvcs of
thefame occasions. In times of alarm
and danger, when the public mind faag
itated, when the fterm approaches and
men grow anxious for the fafety of their
families and their country ; these two
ill! i^mmrai
orders of men are ever found to talk loud
est and increase the existing ferment.—
He bad no doubt that some men of this
latter description had infilled themfelres
into every legilhture butthe present. If he
luppofed that any of them were in that
house, he Ihould deem all arguments loft
upon them. He Should merely fey to
them, " go on with your speeches ; they
are the fame in substance that Were made
two thousand years ago- Shew me a
well afforttd library, or even a set of the
parliamentary debates, and I will fi^d
you ?n hundred models of such speeches
—They are the fame which banilhed
from Greece her best and meft virtuous
citizens, which filled Rome with proscrip
tions and blood Ihed ; which excited rev-.
olutions in England and turned Paris in
to a charnel.houfe; which have done
some mifehiefin our town meetings and
state house yards, but which, upeh the
sober feafe and cool reflection of the A
merican people, produce no impression
that is deep or visible." He Ihould fay
to them,'' you declaim against corrup
tion, and protefs views of alleviating the
burdens of the people"— So did the tri
bunesof the Roman people and all the
rates of reformers from their times to
the present. This was the language of
Oliver Cromwell, mho was once 2 leader
of a feeble minority ; it was tbe language
of Sidney, whose book the gentltmn
from Pennsylvania has read, and who,
after writing the finetbihgs in that bock,
has left an equivocal charader, and has
been charged by the pen of hiftory with
reneiving bribes from the French.—lt is
the fame language that is used in the
Britilh House of Commons by Sheridian
and Fox, possibly with good intentions,
and it was the favorite theme of Robes
pierre in the French Convention, who
certainly had the very intentions. Per
haps your meaning is perfealy honest ;
but no faith is due to prose ffions ; we
must adhere to the old standard of truth,
" by their works shall ye know them."
But upon the resumption, that there
are foncein that house who are fericufy
alarmed upon the fubjed of Executive
patronage, and who prphecy future dan
ger from that source ; he begged leave
to ask for a precise definition of the mean
ing of those words. Do these gentle
men mean by patronage, the right veft?d
in tbe President by the conftifution of
nominating to certain offices ? Sorely
not ; for this would be an insidious re
proach upon the constituents itfelf. Do
they then mean, the natural influence
acquired by a fair exercise of that power ?
They will not allow this to be their mean
ing ; for the influence toa certain extent
being the inevitable cot fquence of the
right, an objedion to one is an objedion
to another, and both again rre objections
to the confutation. The only ebnox
ious meaning which in his view could be
applied to Executive patronage, was an
undue influence arising from an improp
er and unconstitutional exercise of that
power, and this could happen but ih
two modes, either by the appointment
of improper charaders or by making the
appointments too numerous. —With re
fpea to tbe charaaers of the persons ap
pointed, it was not foggefted by any gen
tleman that the President with the ad
vice of the Senate, had not a conftitu
tionai diferetion ; it was not contended
that the authority of the house extend
ad to that point ; no person had yet 0-
penly avowed this design of breaking
down all the barriers of the constitution,
of opening all the flood gates of innova,
tion; if any gentleman would hazard
such a pretension, be must be prepared
to order the President and Senate to take
their featsin this house. Had then the
appointments been too numerous ? He
bad attempted to (hew that our connex
ion with other countries required them
all ; but if he had failed to convince gen
tlemen of the truth, it would not follow
that the Executive was solely &ufoable on
this score ; for upon their principles, the
house could have refuted an appropria
tion in the firft instance, and they were
therefore felf convicted as acceffaries be
fore the fa&—Furthtfthe amendment
would not diminfh the number, or the
patronage. Tbe present ministers might
indeed resign, and the vacant offices
