To the Editor of (he Virginia J/frgin».
Sir,
I T has. been very much of a complaint
that Con.^reM have done nothing ; but,like
all peevish1 complaints, those who utter
them do n it infor m us vthdt should be done
It is true, one writer states his plan, Sc that,
perhaps^ is war ; another hes his projeot^
and in all probability that, is preparation
for defence ; whilst a third contends
for nakrd non.intercourse or non-importa
tion. I an, for my ptrt, a neutralise, and
I donottWnk it of 90 much importance horn
we preserve oar neutrality as that we do
preserve our* neutrality. And, ajthough
Congress h tve, m rcl, tion to foreign af
fairs, literally done nothing, yet, as that
doing oi nntnjng has not cuinpiomitted our
neutrality3 it is, pernaps, the wisest thing
mat coi.i oe done. I*jis President’s poll- <
cy was, l thitik^ the nest-policy, to wit,
to keel the door 0,hen for negocidiionJ and
to [ire hire the country Jor defence, • Had
tins plan b eu stetdtly supportei in Con
gress, there woull have been neither the
appear ante of delay nor of irresolution,
but, sir, every-’member seemed to have
his ooon little notions sf things, Sc so, there
has oeen nothing performed t ' So that our
situation is not wane than it was, if it is
not betters
The danger of* legislating on foreign af«
fairs wa3, that we might be legislated into
a hobble which might disgrace us; or, into
a rear, which would cost us a great deal of
blood and money. When a legislative bo„
dy moves, it does somethin; ; an l it is for
tunate if that something is not harmful.
1 protest to you, .that 1 do not perceive

Hot heads, valient hearts, and noisy
