DEBATE
os mr. yo/.vr ngsoLurtos
jtfifiroving the conduct of the Executive,
in relation to the refusal to receive any fur
ther communication from Francis James
Jackson—Continued.
Mr. Gh oi.soN uk1| that notwithstanding much
had already been said on the subject before the
committee, he hoped he should be pardoned for
occupying a small portion of their attention.
The resolution before us, (said he) seems to em
brace several objects pre-eminently entitled to the
dispassionate consideration of congress—objects
altogether unconnected with those factions and
political dissenlions which have unhappily %n<>
long prevailed amongst brethren of the same
common family, and which may one day prove
* fatal to political liberty ! The first question which
presents itsulf in the investigation of this subject,
involves on the one hand, said Mr. G the veraci
ty and dignity of the American government, mid
on the oilier, ihe character and reputation of a
British envoy, and in some degree of the British
ministry.
In my remarks on this subject (said he) I con
sider it regular to commence with the origin of
the mission from Great Dritaie, to the United
States, out of which lua arisen the present un
propitious posture of the affairs between .the two
countries. What, sir, were the circumstances
muter which that misst<*i was dispatched here ?
In the month of May last, it was known to the
British ministry that a commercial arrangement
had been made by '.heir envoy resident here, (Mr.
Errkine) with the American government, but
under the allegation that it was made con
trary to instructions, it was no sooner known than
it, ami the minister making it, were disavowed.
Mr. Jackson was then appointed to substitute Mr.
fcrskine the disavowed agent, and at the time he,
(Mr. Jackson) was sent to this country, it was
well known by the British ministry that* the, go
vernment of the U. States stood solemnly pledg
ed to the American people to maintain, and that
they had inviolably and steadily adhered to cer
tain point* and principle* in our differences with
England— surrender cf our departure from
which, would be a sacrifice of the honor and best
interests of this nation.
Yes, sir, when they well knew that in the affair
of the Chesapeake onr executive would not, and
the voice of almost the whole nation had pio
nounced that l.e ought not to make the first ad
vance to x reconciliation, Mr. Jackson was charg
ed not only to require the first advance from us,
to wit: that in the document which should con
tain the adjustment of that affair, the revocation
of the president’s proclamation of 180r, inter
dicting the British armed ships from our waters,
should be recited as un indispensable preliminary ;
but to require from us aho the violation of the
principles of our naturalization laws, by insisting
on the surrender of foreigners who had become
naturalized. As to the orders in council, we
uv*w •''j'tt.ijj-, Idujj'nuiun.-, i»c was
charged with in relation to them. As far 33 we
are able to deduce any thing from facts before us,
it must be understood that liie British govern
ment had determined to accept of uo conditions
for the roneal of tlm orders in council, except
such as had been previously declared ©n the part
of the American government to be inadmissible.
Notwithstanding what has been said by the gen
tleman from N. Yoik (Mr. Emott,) 1 think it is
easily to be demonstrated that the British govern
ment did not intend to make any arrangement
different from that contemplated by the celebrat
ed instructions of the twenty-third of January,
transmitted to Mr. Erskine. If the British go
vernment so recently as May last, disavowed an
arrangement, and recalled its minister, under an
allegation that he violated his instructions, was it
to be supposed that they would in two or three
months so far change their policy as to authorise
an arrangement on the same principles they had
just rejected ? Certainly not, air. It is evident
that such an accommodation could not have been
designed, because Mr. Canning says that such
measures must be adopted as should secure the
objects of the orders in council. That they did
not by this mean the mere continuance of the
non-intercoursc law, as to France, is manifest ;
for Mr. Canning says to Mr. Pinkney that a re- I
peal as to Great Britain would he a repeal as to !
the whole world, unless the British navy were to
be permitted to enforce the law interdicting in
tercourse with France, Ly the seizure of 'such
as should be found violating it.
Again—If it was the intention of the British
government to recede from the grounds taken,
to wit: lire requisition of a continuance of the
non intercourse law as to France, a surrender of
the colonial trade, an l allowing the British navy
to enforce a law of the United States, would not
the minister sent here to perfect the arrangement
have been instructed to take a different ground
Irom that previously insisted on ? It scorns to
me perfectly clear that he vrould. From
this obvious view of the au!>j< ct, 1 hope I shall
not'be charged with trespassing on that decorum
so earnestly recommende 1 by gentlemen on the
other side of the House, if I say, that Mr. Jack
sou was sent here, both to offer terms and con
tend for principles insulting *0 ibis nation—and I
demand of gentlemen whether this conduct cau
be considered in any other light than as a preme
ditated insult ? They were apprised of the ul
tiinatiKii of this government as to the orders in
council and the affair of the Chesapeake. The
terms ollered had been declared over and over
again by our government to be such as this go
vernment could never sanction.
There, sir, were the circumstances under
which the mission commenced. V/hat were
those which characterised its progress and ter
mmatin 1 J I think it very easy to shew that the
con*I*icl of the minister himself, afier lie arrived,
partookViVicny of the same character as the con
duct of the mimicry who s«nt him. 1 think I
have shewn that lbs disposition manifested by
tlic Aiinitilry in tending linn here was invullinglo
tins country Bet us next enquire irfto the cha
racter disclosed, «rnd the conduct displayed by
AnJ in this enquiry, without wading through
ail the document ., which gentlemen can as well
understand by perusing them in their chambers,
as by hearing ihem .eui here, I will merely ad
vert to the offensive expressions u ;cd by Mr.
Jackson, and to the in inner in wjtich thus;: ex
presuuns were met by t lie secretary of state, ,1'y
doing this it vrik be very disccraahlc not only llie
facts staled in the resolution are sustained oy the
correspondence, but that the resolution does not
go s.> tar us lacts w mid warrant. In Mr. Jack
son’s leder oftfie 11th of October, lie says, that
the arrangement with Mr. £r»kiu<: was made un
der .u. h circumstances as could only lead to a
disavowal. If the circumstances were such xs
could only lead to a disavowal, they must have
bees dishonorable, and Mr. Jackson, by intimat
ing that our government had a knowledge of
tht.e circuinatMiices, chargrs it with being petr
ii.tp< crhninii —Can any tiling be in »re palpable
iilaii lois i lie expresses this idea in still ulronv
cr terms when he intimates that Mr. Smith had
a principal agem y in the misconduct on tfiis occa
i.uii. It certainly was not in Mr. Smith'* oowei
to substitute couilitiojit for <hose which lie <Je
chile. 1 accepting, blit it nuut h.«ve been done ly
t*r tc kmc B'll notwithstanding this, he char*
g * Mr. Smith not only wiln conniving at a con
diet improper in itself, because it could only
li *d to a rejection ol tiic .vrungvmant growing
cut of it, but m .inuates that ho was the principal
*• i >r l i t ••• . ;ne. In Mr. Smith's letter, in an
• wet '<» Mi Jar>*.in, th- » mu? version* are too
..i ....u- obj.-ci tobc incil.dfc<n. Mr. Jack*
son in Informed of the displeasure or the
American government at such insinuations ; and
in the very first letter which w-<s written by the
Secretary of State, he disek-ims pointedly having
had any knowledge whatever of tho deficiency of'
Mr. Erskine’s instruction* at the time of making
the arrangement. And what says Mr. Jackson
in reply? He says again, tfi.it Mr. Erskinw’s in
structions were known to Mr. Smith. Sir, I ac
knowledge very candidly, that on a superficial
perusal of the correspondence, the charge of
falsehood, from the art ami adroitness with which
it is wrrpt up, do* s not appear so j. xpablc »*
when it is more «! scly examined. Vet, Sir, not
withstanding all knowledge of the instructions
had been denied by Mr. Smith, Mr. Jackson re
iterates lire assertion that they were known. Do
gentlemen snv there is no insult in this ? That
there is nothing wrong in the assertion of a
knowledge on the part of the Secretary of State
which he had before formally and solemnly dis
claimed.
In Mr. Smith’s letter to Mr. Jackson of the
first of November, he intimates to Mr. Jackson,
that a language Implying such a knowledge on
the part or the American government was alto,
gethcr inadmissible. What is Mr. Jackson’s re
ply in his letter of the 4th of November, which is
the last communication that a proper self-respect
on the part of the American government would
permit it to receive from him ? After again insin
uating that our government bad a knowledge of
Mr. Ershine’s instructions, he says, “ That any
thing therein (in his former letter) contained
may h« irrelevant to the subject, it is of course
competent to you to endeavor to shew ; and as
far as you succeed in so doing, so far vill my ar.
gument lose .of its validity ; but as to tlie propri
ety of my allusions, you mu?t allow nac to ac
knowledge only the decision of my own «ove
reign, w hose commands 1 obey, & to whom alone
1 can consider myself responsible.” In speaking
of the propriety of his allusions, he acknowled
ges that he had made them, and docs not deny
that they’are of the character ascribed to them.
This insolent letter is concluded by expressions
too plain for any misconception whatever. He
says," 1 have carefully avoided drawing conclu
sion* .which did not necessarily, fallow from the
premises advanced by me, and last of all should 1
think of uttering an insinuation where 1 was una
ble to substantiate a fact.” lie here in fact re
cogr.izt s th*- insinuation imputed to him, and says
he would not have made it if he could not have
suh*lantk«lcd it. Collecting all his insinuations
on the one hand, and the refutation of them on the
other, I draw the conclusion that Mr. Jackson
not only insulted the government, but charged
it with one of the foulest crimes—with direct
falsehood.
It the circumstances under which he was sent,
and his conduct after lie arrived here, were such
as 1 have described, 1 aik if the occasion deesnot
require that the American government should
take a firm and dignified stand ? that we should
repel insults and respect ourtches ? Shall the au
thority to whom only is entrusted the most so.
iemn act .of government which can lie performed,
the act of deciding on the last appeal of nations’
stand by and see the executive insulted, by an
emissary, such as Mr. Jackson was ? I hope no;
Sir. ’
I lie gentleman from Connecticut ( Mr. Dana)
seems to have endeavored to throw the whole
blame of the transaction to our own government,
because, he says, the arrangement ought not to
have been entered into. Mr. trskme not having ex
hibited for that purpose, what is termed in public
law a full power, and the gentleman has referred
to a variety ot authorities to support his doctrin*
I would in my tun , refer that gentleman to the
declaration ot Mr. Jackson himself, in shew that
Mr. Erskine had what was considered as equiva
lcnt to a full fiaxser. Say s Mr. Jackson—M Clever
did I imagine, or any where atu rapt to rest the
. n^ht of disavowal upon that circumstance, (the
I want of a full power*) “ His rgieement (Mr.
i Eiskme s) would r.e.crtheless have been ratified
| had not the instructor.:, xsliic/i ir. this cue tool the
place of a full filler, been viol-ied.” Here is a
direct recognition that Mr. Erskine had what
waa tantamount of a full power—and indeed the
government ot Great Britain never objected to
tlie arrangement on the ground, tisattbat g-snle
manhau iiot power to negotiate. It never has
been denied, and the disavowal, has always been
rested on an aisedged departure from instructi
ons, which ii* feet admits the power to treat.
As to the observations of the geutleman from
New-York, (Mr. Emott) tiiougii it is for from
my purpose and indeed very unnecessary, to
endeavor to follow him through them ; I think
it proper to take notice of one remark made hy
tint gentleman. He perceiics in the correspond
ence between the secretary of state ana Mr
Jackson, what I am utterly unable to perceive, a
dupositicn on the part of our government on
which he founds the charge of hostility against
Great Britain, and a disinclination to treat with
her. I can see no such disposition—on the con
trary, I have witnessed on the part cf the Ameri
can government only the greatest forbearance ;
and 1 believe it has alway'S been their earnest
wish to conclude a treaty with Great 3rilain on
lair and reciprocal terms.
°,r» 1 consider the present no time for the
causeless crimination of our own government, j
much less is it a time to countenance any
other. We should discard domestic differjn
ces and party spirit, which, at a juncture lik&
dns, may be disastrous to our country. If we
ddlcr among ourselves, in the name of God, let'
us unite against foreign aggressions a id foreign
insult. It is admitted by gentlemen on the
oth.-r side, that both Britain and France have
done us vrong. Ifso, why not unite against the
one as well as against the other > A conduct like
this must produce the happiest consequences.
.— H any thing like union is discovered against
insuit and injury, I believe in God that it would
not be long ere we were met on reciprocal terms
ot amity. Sir, for my country 1 only diidre the
rule oi right. That we inuat obtain. If it in
thought I wish any disaster to befal the British
nation, I ,im misunderstood. I am willing thut
Britain should be great, happy, and prosperous.
1 should %'ievv her downfall u3 an inauspicious
event—consequences might result from it which
I will not undertake to estimate—out I hope that
the expectation never will be encouraged, t'rvm
this hall, that G. 15. can or will receive any terms
Irum us other than iu;h as arc JVir, honorable U
reciprocal.
J he terms which have been offered to us are
not ol that hind, i submit it to gentle men’s own
decision. We have long experienced injustice,
and if we arc cmy capable of being firm to our
purpose, and adhering to the principles of lieu
trjlity, which have Inl'terto guided the councils
of our country, »n<l especially the enlightened
policy of thee tecutivo department, we shall no
doubt obtain justice.
In every view, therefore, it appears to me that
the resolution Irotn the Senate not only is sup- -
parted by tiio correspondence laid before us, but
is rendered peculiaily important by the occusion.
The appeal made by Mr. Jnckson Irom the ex
ccutive, from the organ w.th which alone alb
rc'gu minister c..u Stave communication to the
people. to a tribunal with which he cannot com
inHiiic. ’c, add* great force to the arguments in
I iv'or af a firm Stand on cur prirts. 1 hope it will
be made, ami r.ever will be abandoned till we
receive that justice which lias been but two long
delayed. “

Worcester, (Mass.) Nov. 29, 18u9.
If o X. II. D Exit BOR Nr,
Sir,
Having invented a cheap and sitnnle me
thod of manufacturing Wootfavewe li nn iron
wire, 1 obt.-ined a patent for the same from the
United States in July ftst, and finding it < xt
ly diilicuit, hy any means within my power, to
! obtain wire ot suitable sites, I was induced to
i attenip. the manufacturing ot it : mid ns a ne
cessary appendage to connect tins business with
that of screw making ; the process being so ea
sy end simple, that two men < f common capaci
ty can manufacture from rods, about the site of
common nuil rods, three hundred weight <f as
sorted screw wire per day. In the same time a
man with two boys cun make from the wire,
twenty gross ot screws, of a quality very’ much
superior to those ustYdly importer!. The ex
pence ot constructing screvy machines, upon the
principle ot my patent is small, us is also the ca
pital employed (the business being yet in its in
fancy.) Butin one year, with the capital i ran
command, it would enable me to supply tlie U.
States with that article, ofaquaiuy much supe
rior to any ever imported, and at as low u rate as
is now paid lor those imported of an inferior
quality. The m anufacture of Iron and Brass
wire has been often attempted within the United
States with success, and can he carried on t > a
great extent; but all the undcrlHkcrs, in cot se
quence of foreign wire being imported free of du
ty, have without exception, abandoned the busi
ness.
j l depended on foreign wire for the in ami
factoring of screws, I should not hr uu advocate
for a duty on it ; hut, as I n ke iny own wire,
•'a bee importation does not affect me as relates
to the quantity Appropriated to that particular use,
jet it very seriously adepts ine in a much inure
enlarged and extensive point of view; but ifn
duty of 15 or 20 per cent, ad valorem was laid cn
j the importation of foreign wire, thv capital with
' in the conlroul of the company, n > *r interested
j with me in this business, would enable me ini
j mediately to extend iny machinery to a magni
| tuds sufficiently extensive to meet 'the consuinp
j tion of coarse wire within this state.
I The manufacture of card wire also, of which
i there is a great consumption within the United
! States, would I;* marie to equal advantage, and
! follow in course r.;i account of the demand for
I it ; provided manufactures were aided bv tin* «
bovementioned duly on foreign wire. But iftliAy
! should extend their works, :.niir.in.ttiug that
! encouragement frem g-<vcrunu nt, ;o d i> should
j not be givpn, they would Buffer g; eat Joss and
j disappointment.
The mutability of the American Iren, rrrders
tbs United -States perfectly iudepend. nt of ail o
| ther countries for that first of raw materials ?
and it is only by thu patronage of Congress that
industry and the arts can be so extensively culti
vated, as to take the greatest advantage not only
of this article, but of other raw materials winch
the great resources of our country furnish.
The prevailing spirit of enterprise atthe pre
sent time, in the exertion and extension of man*
ufacturiug establishments, is much owing to the
measures Heretofore adopted by Government, (a
I feel confident thr.t few articles can be made in
this country to so great advantage as Iron wirv,
and that no sufficient reason can he Adduced uhy
tliis article should be exempt man duty tnorl;
than many others, to the particular r.r.d very
great injury of our own citizens I am much en
couraged Id hope that the measures, Government
now appear to be taking, will bo sufficient in
patronizing the very laudable cxeriion of its ci
tizens in the production of article-i ind.ipensi
ble to our necessities, and especially those that
are produced from raw materials of our own
country. And the only patronage required in
this business is that the articles of Iron wire
should be subjected to thes.-me duty that other
articles of Iron manufactures are subjected to
when imported from G Britain.
