therefore ! preentne Mr. Smith ie rescued
< from the imputation "tempted to be ent ]
upon him by the gentlemen from N. York. !
( r.! under-lond hie nrgument to be that *
' t'. jection might have been guilty of pe- 7
tuluce & impropriety. but that Mr. Smith ss
] wn equally eo in enggeeting that there wn
more then one deepatch, ofter Mr. Jack-on
bed enerted to the eontrnr . Mr. Jack-on
doee not give Mr. Smith t t information.
He _ only give: him the information that
thet was the only dee atch which eontnin- ss
ed the conditione- 'herc ie certainly :
diﬀerence between laying that war the only
ssdcepetch and saying that it wan the only
deepetch which preecribcd the conditione.
So that Mr. Smith. when he suggests that
there was more than one despatch, doee not
by any meum contudict what had been mid
l—_
the intent attrihuted to him? if he did
make uee of them with that meaning and
intent, ( eek', if, after an e: lnnation has
been liberally, and with a for earnnce ecl
dom meniseeted, aeked of him and refused,
whether a member of thie houee can doubt
the intention of that minieter? Nay, !
preeume Mr. ]eckeon himeelf will not be
very thenltlul to gentlemen for frittering
eway what he hee eeid eo ee to make it If:
pear to have a diﬀerent meaning from the:
which he intended. Beceuee when called
on for that purpuee, he declined living e
ny euch explunetione or eonetruetione, to
the oﬀeneive peeeegee in hie lettere, ee ere
notv ettempted to be given them by hie
friende.
The next enquiry under the reeolution le,
did he reiternte hie groee ineinuetione ! He
did ; end no gentleman cnn look to the luet
clauee of that letter without laying that
M r. ]ackeon doee reiterate every etatemcnt
end ineinuetion he had undertaken to he;
he not only forbore to give an exple ' ,
but reiterated hie offeneive language. --
Here then. eir, ! apprehend we sict
proof of all the secte neeeeenry to the ,

Mr. ]ackson for an explanation, and tells
him that the government of the United

the hearts ot tzms to me oppressue
and dominee —' "power of France ? Isit
proves to me beyond all possibility of doubt
that Mr. Jackson came to this country with
prejudices and prepossessions with regard
to the spirit of the government, which he
correct. He seemed to suppose that we
had banish very honor-able and manly
might call upon us to bow to whate ver idol
she mi tset up ; for, sir, calling Uponsius
to agree to the conditions presented was in
eﬀect calling upon us to agree that (ireat
Britain should regulate the commcree of
the world. .
The gentleman from Rhode-lsland in an
impressive and eloquent manner spoke of
the injuries of the country, and expressed
his dissatisfsction at the resolution, inns
much as it would place the interests of the
country at the hazard ofa war. ! do not
know, when a foreign government had
by some means or other imbibed s notiun
that all honorahle and manly spirit is ba
nished from another government, that she
shall be involved in : war with thst overn
ment hy shewing that all honorahle man
ly spirit is not banished from among us.
Therefore I do not see thlt the adoption of
this resolution would have asi' tendeney to
involve us in text. is the gentleman be
really sincere in his desire-of seeing our
rights asserted in a manly manner, ! ask
him why he should be afraid to sssert
