1 am sensible, sir, of having de
tained your attention and thai of the
House, not Only now but on many for
mer occasions much beyond what I bad
a right to do. Il is an offence, and I
am wilii;, r ; !ml it grew
out id" tbe mr manner in
which 1 coucoeive a very unexcepti
onable motion has been met by gentle
men of this House You cannot be
ignorant, sir, that there are gentle
men in ibis House who, when their
object is to obtain the passage of any
motion however reasonable, certainly
i ' have to encounter greater difficulties
than others ; and who, when they see
anything like opposition arising in a
j certain quarter of the House, like
council addressing a jury supposed lo
be somewhat prejudiced agati st their
cause, have to labor their pom,s and to
impress them much more than the
council who knots that the car of
those lo whom he speaks is attuned
like that of a partial mistress to bis ad
dresses, and will put the most favora
onstruction upon them.
This subject which 1 have opened in
: regard to the renewal of intercourse
with one of the belligerents, which I
hope in time to see renewed with the
' other—and then, sir, we shall have
choice whether we will begin ; gain the
cotilli ipuliation, em'
and non-intercourse, or reap the rich
harvest Of neutrality like men of
