ADDRESS.
Friends and Fellow citizens,
IT has ever been the practice of nations who have loved liberty to commemorate important events, and to celebrate the achievements of those, by whom their freedom hath been attained or preserved.
The day which gave birth to the United States as a nation, which is distinguished as the era of their sovereignty and independence, the achievements of the illustrious Washington and his compatriots in the revolutionary war, eminently deserve to be commemorated with every demonstration of gratitude and joy.
Such commemoration tends to keep alive and perpetuate the sentiments to which Americans are indebted for the enjoyment of the noblest attributes of man, to awaken the memory of the past and to excite each succeeding generation to emulate the virtues of those who have preceded.
No theme can be more splendid than that of the independence of our country, few events are more illustrious and memorable than that of the declaration and establishment of our national sovereignty. To Americans it must ever be interesting and important, and the day on which they resolved to be free, will not cease to be distinguished with triumph and rejoicing.
I feel most sensibly, the incompetency of my abilities, to do justice to the subject on which I am about to address you; but I have the consolation to believe that what I shall say, will be indulgently received.
Not being capable of delighting you with the fascinating charms of eloquence, or rousing your feelings by the powers of oratory, my humble effort shall be to trace the causes of the revolutionary war, and to bring to your recollection some important and interesting events in our glorious contest for liberty and independence.
The English colonies were originally established not for the sake of revenue, but on the principles of a commercial monopoly, while those principles were pursued, the colonists were but little oppressed, and the increase of the commerce of England was astonishing.
The whole export trade of England, including that to the colonies, in the year 1704, amounted to £6,500,000 sterling, but so immensely had the colonies increased that the exports to them alone in the year 1772 amounted to £6,022,132 sterling.
In the year 1764, colonial oppression commenced, in that year the design was formed by the British ministry of raising a revenue from the colonies, and sundry resolutions passed the British parliament relative to the imposition of a stamp duty in America.—And in the year 1765 a bill was brought into the house of commons for that purpose.
A member of parliament concluded a speech in its favor with words to the following effect: And now will these American children, planted by our care, nourished by our indulgence, 'till they are grown to a degree of strength and opulence, and protected by our arms, will they grudge to contribute their mite, to relieve us from the heavy weight of the burthen which we lie under? To which a friend to the colonies replied, they planted by your care? No, your oppressions planted them in America; they fled from tyranny, to a then uncultivated and inhospitable country, where they exposed themselves to almost all the hardships to which human nature is liable; and among others, to the cruelty of a savage foe, the most subtle, and I will take upon me to say the most formidable of any people on the face of God's earth; and yet actuated by principles of pure English liberty, they met all hardships with pleasure, compared with those they suffered in their own country, from the hands of those who should have been their friends.
They nourished by your indulgence? They grew by your neglect of them, as
soon as you began to care about them, that care was exercised by sending persons to rule them in one department or another, who were perhaps the deputies of deputies of some member of this house, sent to spy out their liberties, misrepresent their actions and to prey upon them; men, whose behaviour on many occasions, has caused the blood of those sons of liberty to recoil within them; men, promoted to the highest seats of justice, some, who, to my knowledge were glad by going to a foreign country, to escape being brought to the bar of justice in their own.
They protected by your armies? They have nobly taken up arms in your defence, and exerted a valour amidst their constant and laborious industry, for the defence of a country, whose frontier was drenched in blood, while its interior parts yielded all its little savings to your emolument. And believe me, remember I this day told you so, that same spirit of freedom, which actuated that people at first will accompany them still; but prudence forbids me to explain myself further.
Notwithstanding the opposition of the ablest men and best patriots in England, notwithstanding the remonstrances and petitions of the colonists, the stamp duty was imposed, but was not to take effect until a period of more than seven months thereafter—the colonists were at first struck with silent consternation, but finally determined to oppose the execution of the law.
In this opposition Virginia stood foremost—
The patriotic Henry, brought into the house of Burgess of that colony, a set of resolutions (which were adopted) to the following effect, that the first adventurers settlers of the colony of Virginia brought with them, and transmitted to their posterity, all the liberties, privileges and immunities, that have at any time been held, enjoyed and possessed by the people of Great Britain.
That by two Royal Charters, granted by King James the first, the colonists are declared and entitled to all liberties, privileges and immunities of denizens and natural subjects, to all intents and purposes, as if they had been abiding and born within the realm of England.
That they had enjoyed the right of being thus governed, by their own assembly, in the article of taxes and internal police, and that the same had never been forfeited or yielded up, but had been constantly recognised by the king and people of Britain.
That the general assembly of the colony, together with his majesty, or his substitute, had in their representative capacity, the only exclusive right and power, to lay taxes and imposts upon the inhabitants of the colony, and that every attempt to vest such power in any other person or persons whatever, was illegal, unconstitutional and unjust, and had a manifest tendency to destroy British, as well as American liberty.
That the inhabitants of the colony were not bound to yield obedience to any law, or ordinance whatsoever, designed to impose any taxation whatever upon them, other than the laws, or ordinances of their general assembly.
And that any person who should by speaking or writing assert, or maintain that any person, or persons other than the general assembly of the colony, had any right or power to impose or lay any taxation on the people of the colony, should be deemed an enemy to the colony.
These resolutions were forwarded to the other provinces.
The countenance and example of so respectable a colony as Virginia, confirmed the wavering and emboldened the timid.
The fire of Liberty blazed forth from the press, some well judged publications, set the rights of the colonists in a plain, but strong point of view.
The tongues and the pens of the well informed citizens, laboured in kindling the latent sparks of patriotism.
The flame spread from breast to breast, till the conflagration became general—associations against importing British manufactures, were entered into by the colonists. And the effigies of the stamp masters were burnt in various places.
From the decided opposition to the stamp act which was made by the colonies, it became necessary for Great Britain to enforce or to repeal it.
The latter method was adopted, in the year 1766 the act was repealed, when it was known in America, the colonists rescinded their resolutions against importing British manufactures, and recommenced their mercantile intercourse with the mother country.
The Churches resounded with thanks-
givings, and their public and private rejoicings knew no bounds—but their joy was not of long continuance, in the year 1767 the British parliament, passed a law, granting duties in the British colonies, on glass, paper, painters colours and tea.
The fire of oppression which had been smothered by the repeal of the stamp act, burned afresh against the same principle of taxation exhibited in its new form, and the latter act produced, resolves, petitions, addresses, remonstrances and associations similar to those with which the stamp act was opposed.
In 1768 two regiments and some armed vessels were sent to Boston to support and assist the officers of the customs in the execution of their duty.
In February 1769 both houses of parliament went one step further than all that had preceded, they then concurred in a joint address to the king, in which they expressed their satisfaction in the measures his majesty had pursued, gave the strongest assurances that they would effectually support him in such further measures, as might be found necessary to maintain the civil magistracy in a due execution of the laws in Massachusetts Bay, and beseeched him to direct the governor, to take the most effectual methods for procuring the fullest information touching all treasons, or misprisions of treasons committed within that government, since the 30th day of December 1767 and to transmit the same, together with the names of the persons who were most active in the commission of such offences, to one of the secretaries of state, in order that his majesty might issue a special commission, for enquiring, of hearing and determining the said offences within the realm of Great Britain, pursuant to the provision of the statute of the 35th of Henry the 8th.
The latter part of this address, which proposed the bringing of persons from Massachusetts to be tried at a tribunal in Great Britain, for crimes committed in America, excited great alarm and indignation.
It was asserted to be totally inconsistent with the spirit of the constitution, for in England, a man charged with a crime, had a right to be tried in the country, in which the offence was supposed to have been committed.
Justice is regularly and impartially administered in our courts said the Colonists, And yet, by direction, of parliament, offenders are to be taken by force, together with all such persons as may be pointed out as witnesses, and carried to England, there to be tried in a distant land, by a jury of strangers, and subject to all the disadvantages which result, from want of friends, want of witnesses and want of money.
In consequence of the American non-importation agreement, founded in opposition to the duties of 1767 the manufacturers of Great Britain, experienced a renewal of the distresses, which followed the adoption of similar resolutions in the year 1765, the repeal of those duties was therefore solicited by the same influence, which had procured the repeal of the stamp act, and in the year 1769, assurances were given, for repealing all the duties imposed in 1767 excepting that of three pence per pound on tea.
These assurances were received with transports of joy, the colonists relaxed in their associations in every particular, except tea, and immediately recommenced the importation of all other articles of merchandise, and the repeal actually took place in the year 1770—many hoped that the contention between the two nations was finally closed, but reciprocal and frequent insults, soured the tempers and mutual injuries, embittered the passions of the opposite parties.
On the 5th of March 1770 the soldiers when under arms in Boston were pressed upon, insulted and pelted by a number of persons, armed with clubs, sticks and snow balls covering stones, they were also dared to fire—seven of the soldiers discharged their pieces, three of the inhabitants were killed, and five were dangerously wounded. The town was immediately in commotion, such was the temper, force and number of the inhabitants, that nothing but an engagement to remove the troops out of the town, together, with the advice of moderate men, prevented the townsmen from falling on the soldiers. The killed were buried in one vault, in a most respectful manner, to express the indignation of the inhabitants, at the slaughter of their brethren, by soldiers quartered among them, in violation of their civil liberties.
The events of this tragical night, sunk deep in the minds of the people, and were made subservient to important purposes. The anniversary of it was observed with great solemnity. Eloquent orators were successively employed, to deliver an annual oration, to preserve the memory of it fresh in their minds, on these occasions the blessings of liberty—the horrors of slavery—the dangers of a standing army—the rights of the colonies and a variety of such topics were presented to the public view, under their most pleasing and alarming forms, these annual orations, administered fuel to the fire of liberty and kept it burning with an incessant flame.
In 1773, the East-India company sent a large quantity of tea to Boston, on its arrival, seventeen persons dressed as Indians repaired to the tea ships, broke open 342 chests of tea, and without doing any other damage discharged the contents into the water.
In consequence of these proceedings, the British parliament in 1774, passed the act, commonly called the Boston port bill, by which the port of Boston was precluded from the privilege of landing, and discharging or of loading and shipping of goods, wares and merchandise, also an act, for the better regulating the government of Massachusetts whereby, the charter of the province was materially altered.
And in the same session, they passed an act, respecting the government of Quebec, extending the government of that province southward to the Ohio, and westward to the banks of the Mississippi, and northward to the boundary of the Hudsons Bay company.
It was conceived by the colonists, that the evident tendency of this act, was to make the inhabitants of Canada, fit instruments in the hands of power, to reduce them to a state of slavery.
The shutting up of the port of Boston, occasioned great distress to the inhabitants of Massachusetts.
The colonists sympathising with them, felt themselves called upon to do something for their relief, but, to determine on what was proper to be done, did not so obviously occur.
It was a natural idea that for harmonizing the measures, a congress of deputies from each province, should be convened, as the best means of procuring union and concert among inhabitants removed several hundred miles from each other.
And within four months from the day, on which the first intelligence of the Boston Port bill reached America, the deputies of twelve provinces had convened in Philadelphia, perhaps there never was a body of delegates, more faithful to the interest of their constituents than the congress of 1774.
The public voice elevated none to a seat in that august assembly, but such as in addition to considerable abilities possessed that ascendancy over the minds of their fellow citizens, which can neither be acquired by birth nor purchased by wealth.
Congress soon after their meeting, agreed upon a declaration of their rights, by which it was among other things declared, that the inhabitants of the English colonies in North America, by the immutable law of nature, the principles of the English constitution, and the several charters or compacts, were entitled to life, liberty and property, and that they had never ceded to any sovereign power whatever, a right to dispose of either without their consent.
That their ancestors, who first settled the colonies were entitled to all the rights, liberties and immunities of free and natural born subjects within the realm of England, and by their migrating to America, they by no means forfeited, surrendered or lost any of those rights.
That the foundation of English liberty and of all free government, was a right in the people, to participate in their legislative council, and that as the English colonies were not, and could not be properly represented in the British parliament, they were entitled to a free and exclusive power of legislation in their several provincial legislatures, in all cases of taxation and internal polity, subject only to the negative of their sovereign.
Congress also resolved, that the colonists were entitled to the common law of England, and more especially to the privilege of being tried by their peers of the vicinage.
That they were entitled to the benefit of such of the English statutes as existed at the time of their colonization, and which

they had found to be applicable to their local circumstances, and also to the immunities and privileges granted and confirmed to them, by Royal Charters, or secured by provincial laws. That they, had a right peaceably to assemble, consider of their grievances and petition the king— That the keeping of a standing army in the colonies, without the consent of the legislature of the colony, where the army was kept, was against law.
That it was indispensably necessary to good government, and rendered essential the English constitution, that the constituent branches of the legislature be independent of each other, and that therefore, the exercise of legislative power in several colonies, by a council appointed during pleasure by the crown, was unconstitutional, dangerous and destructive to the freedom of American legislation.
All these liberties, congress in behalf of themselves and their constituents, claimed, demanded and insisted upon, as their inalienable rights, which could not be legally taken from them, altered or abridged by any power whatever without their consent.
They then resolved that sundry acts which had been passed in the reign of George the Third, were infringements and violations of the rights of the colonists, and that the repeal of them, was essentially necessary, in order to restore harmony between Great Britain and the colonies.
Congress declared that they could not submit to these grievous acts and measures, in hopes that their fellow subjects in Great Britain, would restore the colonies to that state, in which, both countries found happiness and prosperity, they resolved for the present, only to pursue the following peaceable measures.
1st. To enter into a non-importation, non-consumption and non-exportation agreement or association.
2d. To prepare an address to the people of Great Britain and a memorial to the inhabitants of British America.
And 3d. To prepare a loyal address to his majesty.
Congress also addressed the French inhabitants of Canada, stating the right they had, on becoming English subjects, to the benefits of the English constitution and earnestly inviting them to join, with the other colonies in one social compact formed on the general principles of equal liberty, and to this end, recommended, that they would choose delegates to represent them in congress.
All these addresses were written with uncommon ability, coming from the heart, they were calculated to move it.
Inspired by a love of liberty, and roused by a sense of common danger, the patriots of that day wrote, spoke and acted with an animation, unknown in times of public tranquility.
Congress having finished all this important business in less than eight weeks, dissolved themselves, after giving their opinion that another congress should be held on the 10th of May then next ensuing at Philadelphia, unless the redress of their grievances should be previously obtained, and recommending to all the colonies to choose deputies as soon as possible, to be ready to attend at that time and place, should events make their meeting necessary.
The determinations of congress were no sooner known, than they were cheerfully obeyed.
Though their power was only advisory, yet, their recommendations were more generally and more effectually carried into execution, than the laws of the best regulated states. Every individual felt his liberties endangered, and was impressed with the idea, that his safety consisted in union. A common interest, in warding off a common danger, proved a powerful incentive to the most implicit submission. Provincial congresses and subordinate committees were everywhere instituted.
A disposition to do, to suffer and to accommodate, spread from breast to breast; and from colony to colony, beyond the reach of human calculation—It seemed as though one mind inspired the whole. The merchants put far behind them, the gains of trade, and cheerfully submitted to a total stoppage of business, in obedience to the recommendation of men, invested with legislative powers.
The cultivators of the soil, with great unanimity, assented to the determination, that the hard earned produce of their farms should remain unslipped.
The sons and daughters of ease renounced imported conveniences, and voluntarily engaged to eat, drink and wear, only such articles as their country afforded.
In the midst of their sufferings cheer-
fulness appeared in the face of all the people, they counted every thing cheap in comparison of liberty, and readily gave up whatever tended to endanger it.
The animation of the times, raised the actors in these scenes above themselves, and excited them to deeds of self denial, which the interested prudence of calmer seasons, can scarcely credit.
On the other hand, the ministers of Great Britain determined to persevere in enforcing obedience to the laws for raising a revenue in America.
An act of parliament was passed, restraining the trade and commerce of the colonies, to Great Britain, Ireland and the British Islands in the West-Indies, and to prohibit them from carrying on any fishery on the banks of Newfoundland.
A large reinforcement of troops were sent to Boston.
On the 19th of April, 1775. Eight hundred grenadiers and light infantry were ordered by gen. Gage to march to Concord and Lexington, to destroy the stores and provisions collected in those places, for the use of the provincial army—They executed their design, but on their return to Boston were attacked by the adjacent inhabitants who had assembled in arms.
In this action the regulars had 65 killed, 180 wounded and 28 made prisoners, of the provincials 50 were killed and 38 wounded and missing.
As arms were to decide the controversy, it was fortunate for America that the first blood was drawn in New-England, the inhabitants of that country, are so connected with each other, by descent, manners, religion and a general equality, that the killing of a single individual interested the whole—The blood of those who were killed at Lexington and Concord, proved the firm cement an extensive union.
The crisis had now arrived, when the colonists had no alternative, but either to submit to the mercy, or to resist the power of Great Britain.
An unconquerable love for liberty could not brook the idea of submission, while reason more temperate in her decisions, suggested to the people, their insufficiency to make effectual opposition.
They were fully apprized of the power of Britain, they knew that her fleets covered the ocean and that her flag had waved in triumph over the four quarters of the globe; but the animated language of the times was, "it is better to die freemen, than to live slaves."
A martial spirit pervaded all rank of men, they believed their liberties to be in danger, and were generally disposed to risk their lives for their establishment. Elevated with the love of liberty, and buoyed above the fear of consequences, by an ardent military enthusiasm, the people of America seconded the voice of their rulers, in an appeal to Heaven, for the vindication of their rights.
A military opposition to the armies of Great Britain being resolved upon, it became an object of consequence to fix on a proper person to conduct that opposition and on the 15th of June 1775 George Washington was by the unanimous vote of congress, appointed commander in chief of all the forces, raised, or to be raised for the defence of the colonies. It was a fortunate circumstance attending his election, that it was accompanied by no competition and followed by no envy. The same general impulse on the public mind, which led the colonists to agree in many other particulars, pointed to him as the most proper person for presiding over the military arrangements of America. On his appointment being announced to him by the president of congress, he with his usual modesty replied to him in the following words.
Though I am truly sensible of the high honor done me in this appointment, yet I feel great distress from a consciousness, that my abilities and military experience, may not be equal to the extensive and important trust; however, as the congress desire it, I will enter upon the momentous duty, and exert every power I possess in their service, and for support of the glorious cause. I beg they will accept my most cordial thanks for this distinguished testimony of their approbation.
But lest some unlucky event should happen unfavorable to my reputation, I beg it may be remembered by every gentleman in the room, that I this day declare with the utmost sincerity, that I do not think myself equal to the command I am honored with.
As to pay Sir, I beg leave to assure the congress, that as no pecuniary consideration,
could have tempted me to accept this arduous employment at the expence of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any profit from it. I will keep an exact account of my expences, those I doubt not they will discharge, and that is all I desire.
A special commission was drawn up and presented to him, and at the same time an unanimous resolution was adopted by congress—That they would maintain and assist him and adhere to him with their lives and fortunes in the cause of American liberty.
Altho' an army was raised, the battles of Lexington and Bunkers Hill, were fought and several British posts on the lakes, were taken by the Americans in the year 1775. It was not untill the 4th of July 1776, that congress declared the colonies, to be free and independent states.
The limits necessary to prescribe to my discourse will not permit a particular relation of the sufferings, fatigues and glorious achievements, of the illustrious Washington and his brave and patriotic fellow soldiers— throughout the eight years war which Britain waged against America actuated by the purest patriotism, animated by the love of liberty and enthusiastic military ardour— they suffered every hardship and fatigue with patience, they bore every misfortune with resignation, and encountered every danger with alacrity. Providence smiled on their exertions and they were victorious.
The British lion crouched to the American Eagle, and in the year 1783 Great Britain was constrained to acknowledge the sovereignty and independence of the United States.
The American army was disbanded the officers and soldiers peaceably returned to their former occupations, and crowded the merit of being good soldiers, by becoming good citizens.
The commander in chief delivered to the comptroller in Philadelphia, an account of the expenditures of all public money he had ever received, nothing was charged, or retained as a reward for public services, and actual disbursements had been managed with such economy and fidelity, that the whole sum, which in the course of the war had passed through his hands amounted only to 1.14.497 18s. 9d. sterling.— He then proceeded to Annapolis, and informed congress of his intention to ask leave to resign the commission he had the honor to hold in their service, and desired to know their pleasure, in what manner it would be most proper to be done.— They resolved that it should be done in a public audience; when the day fixed for that purpose arrived, a great number of distinguished persons attended the interesting scene.—The illustrious patriot addressed the president of congress in the following words:
The great events on which my resignation depended having at length taken place, I have now the honor of offering my sincere congratulations to congress, and of presenting myself before them to surrender into their hands, the trust committed to me, and to claim the indulgence of retiring from the service of my country.
Happy in the confirmation of our independence and sovereignty, and pleased with the opportunity afforded the United States of becoming a respectable nation; I resign with satisfaction, the appointment I accepted with diffidence—a diffidence in my abilities to accomplish so arduous a task; which however was suppressed by a confidence in the rectitude of our cause, the support of the supreme power of the union, and the patronage of Heaven.
The successful termination of the war has verified the most sanguine expectations, and my gratitude for the interposition of Providence, and the assistance I have received from my countrymen, increases with every view of the momentous contest.
While I repeat my obligations to the army in general, I should do injustice to my feelings not to acknowledge in this place, the peculiar services and distinguished merits of the persons who have been attached to my person during the war.
It was impossible the choice of confidential officers to compose my family, should have been more fortunate, permit me, Sir, to recommend in particular those who have continued in service to the present moment, as worthy the favorable notice and patronage of congress.
I consider it as an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my official life, by commending the interests of our dearest country, to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them, to his holy keeping.
Having now finished the work assigned me, I retire from the great theatre of action, and bidding an affectionate farewell to this august body, under whose orders I have long acted, I here offer my commission, and take my leave of all the employments of public life.
To this affecting address the President of congress returned the following answer:
The United States in congress assembled, received with emotions too affecting for utterance, the solemn resignation of the authorities under which you have led their troops with success, through a perilous and doubtful war.
Called upon by your country to defend its invaded rights, you accepted the sacred charge before it had found alliances, and whilst it was without friends or a government to support you.
You have conducted the great military contest with wisdom and fortitude, invariably regarding the rights of the civil power through all disasters and changes.
You have by the love and confidence of your
citizens enabled them to defend their rights. Your perseverance till these United States aided by a magnanimous king and nation, have been enabled under a just providence, to close the war in freedom, safety and independence, on which event we sincerely join you in congratulations.
Having defended the standard of liberty in this new world— having taught a lesson useful to those who is free and to those who feel oppression, you retire from the great theatre of action with the blessings of your fellow-citizens; but the glory of your virtues will not terminate with your military command, it will continue to animate remotest ages.
We feel with you the obligations to the army in general, and will particularly charge ourselves with the interests of those confidential officers who have attended your person to this affecting moment.
We join you in recommending the interests of our dearest country to the protection of Almighty God— beseeching him to dispose the hearts and minds of its citizens, to improve the opportunity afforded them of becoming a happy and respectable nation.
And for you we address to him our earnest prayers that a life so beloved may be blessed with all his care, that your days may be happy as they have been illustrious, and that he will finally give you that reward, which this world cannot give.
Fellow-citizens, let us pause here, and adore that Almighty Power, whose arm supported and protected us through all our struggles for liberty.
Who raised these United States from the humble state of colonies to the rank of a free, sovereign and independent nation, and who placed at the head of their army a man whose only aim was his country's good.
Unlike a Cæsar, a Cromwell or a Bonaparte who availed themselves of the powers entrusted to them to establish their own authority, on the ruins of the liberties of their country.
Washington resigned all public employments and returned with delight to the walks of private life, to the pursuits of agriculture, and to friendly and familiar intercourse with his neighbors, friends and acquaintances.
He affected no pomp or state, he claimed no pre-eminence over his fellow citizens, but conducted himself with so much humility that of him, it may be truly said, like Moses descending from the Mount, while all admired, He alone seemed unconscious of the glory that surrounded him.

Capt. M'Keown, of the ship Mars, arrived here on Saturday, in 39 days from Havre de Grace, has bro't a Havre paper dated May 20, which contained the following: Sitting of the legislative body, May 17.
The counsellors of state, Bruix, Desfolles, and Dupuis, were introduced.
Bruix mounted the tribune: "We are going," said he, "again to take possession of several of our colonies: It is of the first moment that we should remove the fears of the planters."
"It is known to you in what manner the illusions of liberty and equality have been propagated in those remote countries, where the striking difference between the civilized and the uncivilized man, the difference of climate, colors, and habits, and principally the security of European families, imperiously required a great inequality in the civil and political state of individuals."
"It is also known, what has been the fatal consequence of these innovations, so eagerly pursued by zealots, most of whom were, doubtless, actuated by the honorable intention of promoting the cause of humanity, and who, while endeavoring to render the inhabitants of the colonies indiscriminately equal in rights, have only rendered them equally unhappy."
"Slavery, then," added the orator, "must be maintained in such of our colonies, as have constantly flourished under that regime; in others, let us hasten to substitute for delusive and seducing theories, an healing system, the combination of which must be adapted to circumstances, variant of themselves, and confide to the wisdom of the government."
Bruix then read the following project of a law:
Art. I. In the colonies restored to France conformably to the treaty of Amiens, SLAVERY shall be maintained agreeably to the laws and regulations existing prior to the year 1789.
Art. II. It shall be the same in the other French colonies, beyond the Cape of Good Hope.
Art. III. The traffic in slaves and their importation into the said colonies, shall be conducted agreeably to the regulations existing prior to the year 1789.
Art. IV. Notwithstanding all anterior laws the regime of the colonies shall be subject for the period of ten years, to the regulations of the government.
The discussion of this project was appointed.
