Senate of the United States.
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 16.
Debate continued.
Mr. White of Delaware.—Mr. President. On this subject, which has on a former day been discussed with so much ability, and with such eloquence by my friend from Pennsylvania, the honorable mover of the resolutions, I shall submit the few observations I may make, in as concise a manner as I am capable of; for it is very far from my wish to occupy the time, or attention of the Senate unnecessarily. The resolutions on your table I approve in their full extent; I believe they express the firm and manly tone, that at this moment, is especially becoming the dignity of the government to assume; I believe they mark out a system of measures, that, if promptly pursued, will be honorable to the nation and equal to the accomplishment of the important object which gentlemen on all sides seem to have in view. These alone, with me, would be sufficient inducements to yield them my feeble support; but in addition to these, and the thorough conviction of my own mind as to the course I ought to pursue, I have the happiness of being supported in my opinions on this subject, by the unequivocal expression of the sentiment of the state, to which I have the honor to belong.
It was early seen, Mr. President, and required but little penetration to discover, that adventurers emigrating beyond the mountains, and settling on our western waters must possess the free navigation of the Mississippi, it being their only outlet to the ocean. This important privilege it became necessary on the part of the government of the United States to secure by treaty, and not leave to the capricious will of whatever nation might future hold the territory at the mouth of the river. Accordingly in the 4th and 22d articles of our treaty with Spain, I find on this subject the following stipulations:
Article. XXII. It is likewise agreed that the Western boundary of the United States, which separates them from the Spanish colony of Louisiana, is in the middle of the channel or bed of the River Mississippi, from the northern boundary of the said States, to the completion of the 31st degree of latitude north of the equator. And his Catholic Majesty has likewise agreed that the navigation of the said river, in its whole breadth from its source to the ocean, shall be free only to his subjects and the citizens of the United States, unless he should extend this privilege to the subjects of other powers by special convention.
Art. XXII. The two high contracting parties, hoping that the good correspondence and friendship which happily reigns between them, will be further increased by this treaty, and that it will contribute to augment their prosperity and opulence, will in future give to their mutual commerce all the extension and favor which the advantages of both countries may require.
And in consequence of the stipulations contained in the fourth article, his Catholic Majesty will permit the citizens of the United States, for the space of three years from this time, to deposit their merchandise and effects in the port of New Orleans, and to export them from thence without paying any other duty, than a fair price for the hire of the stores, and his majesty promises either to continue this permission, if he finds during that time, that it is not prejudicial to the interests of Spain, or if he should not agree to continue it there, he will assign to them, on another part of the Banks of the Mississippi, an EQUIVALENT ESTABLISHMENT.
This instrument, Mr. President, it is known, for a time quieted the fears and jealousies of our Western Brethren; they supposed it had removed forever the possibility of any future embarrassment to their commerce on those waters. And after it had been proclaimed as the law of the land, after it had been ratified by both nations, and become obligatory upon the faith and honor of each, who could have thought otherwise? Yet sir, it has happened otherwise—This place of deposit, at New-Orleans, secured to our citizens by the article last read, has been recently wrested from their hands by the authority of the Spanish government, and NO OTHER EQUIVALENT one assigned, where after more than two thousand
miles of boat navigation, they may disembark their produce in order to be shipped for sea, & without this advantage the navigation of the river is to them but an empty name.
I have laid by the authority of the Spanish government. It has indeed been given out to the world for reasons that every man may conjecture, and are unnecessary to be mentioned, that this was not the act of the government, but the rash measures of a single officer, the intendant general of the Spanish provinces—that the Spanish minister had issued orders for the speedy adjustment of these difficulties—had kindly offered to throw himself into the breach to prevent this intendant General from going to extremities with the government of the United States. Sir, gentlemen may find when too late, that this is a mere piece of diplomatic policy, intended only to amuse them; and to fly nothing of the humiliating idea of resorting to such a platter for the wound that has been inflicted upon our national honor, if they had taken the trouble, they might have been informed that the Spanish minister near this government has no control at New-Orleans—that the intendant general is like himself an immediate officer of the crown, and responsible only to the crown for his conduct. If the Spanish minister has interfered, which I am not disposed to question, to make the best of it, it could only have been by the intercessions of men in power, as a mere mediator, to beg of the Intendant General of N. Orleans justice and peace on behalf of the people of the United States. Are honorable gentlemen prepared to accept of peace on such terms?—They might do so for a tribe of starving Indians; but is this the rank that we are to hold among the nations of the world? And it seems that even these supplicating advances are likely to avail us nothing; by accounts very lately received from New-Orleans, by a private letter which I have seen since these resolutions were submitted to the senate; the intendant general has expressed much displeasure at the interference of the Spanish minister—stating that it was not with his duty or his province, and that he, the intendant acted not under Spanish but French orders.
As to the closing of the port of New Orleans against our citizens, the man who can now doubt, after viewing all the accompanying circumstances, that it was the deliberate act of the Spanish or French government, must have locked up his mind against truth and conviction, and be determined to discredit even the evidence of his own senses. But sir, it is not only by the depriving us of our right of deposit by which we have been aggrieved; it is by a system of measures pursued antecedent and subsequent to that event, equally hostile and even more insulting. I have in my hand a paper, signed by a Spanish officer which with the indulgence of the chair, I will read to the senate.
ADVERTISMENT.
Under date of the 16th inst. (December.) The intendant general of the province tells me, that the citizens of the United States of America, can have no commerce with his majesty's subjects—they only having the free navigation of the river for the exportation of their fruits and produce of their establishments, to foreign countries, and the importation of what they may want from them. As such I charge you, so far as respects you, to be zealous and vigilant, with particular care, that the inhabitants, neither purchase or sell anything to the shipping, flat-bottomed boats, barges or any other smaller vessels that may go along the river destined for the American possessions, or proceeding from them, that they shall be informed of it for their due compliance of the same.

CARLOS DE GRANDPRE.
Baton Rouge, Dec. 22, 1802.
The foregoing is a translation from the original, directed to me by his Lordship Carlos De Grandpre, Col. of the Royal armies, and governor of Baton Rouge.
(Signed)
J. O. CONNER, Cynide of 4th District.
Baton Rouge, Dec. 27, 1802.
These are the measures, Mr. President, that have been adopted; these are the orders that have been issued, by the Intendant General, to every district of the Spanish provinces, prohibiting the subjects of his Catholic Majesty from having any commerce, dealing, intercourse or communion whatsoever with the citizens of the United States, excluding us from their shores for the distance of two hundred and seventy miles, treating us like a nation of pirates or a banditti of robbers, who they feared to trust in their country; and this day, sir, if a vessel belonging to a citizen of the United States, engaged in a fair and legal trade, was upon the waters of the Mississippi, within the Spanish lines, and in a state of extreme distress, the Spaniard who should yield her aid and comfort, would do it at the peril of his life.
But why do we confine ourselves to the Mississippi? Almost every part of the
world furnishes us with causes of complaint against the Spaniards; scarcely a mail has arrived for a year past, that has not brought us some account of their outrages upon our commerce. They insult our national flag upon every sea where they meet it; they seize our merchantmen; they plunder our merchants of their property; they abuse our seamen; shackle them with chains, and consign them to dungeons; and yet honorable gentlemen cry out peace, peace, when there is no peace. If this be peace, God give us war. And pray, Mr. President, what have we done to provoke all this? We have violated no treaty with his Catholic Majesty; we have injured none of his subjects; we have depredated no where upon his commerce; rather than offend him, when he has smitten us on one cheek, with Christian meekness, we have turned the other; he has made no complaint against us; he has no cause of complaint; he does not even condescend to seek a justification for his conduct; none could be found; but it originates in a deliberately formed system of insult and abuse, and he is proceeding step by step, to ascertain how long the people of the United States will suffer themselves to be trampled with impunity. We have seen him on our lines, wantonly infract his solemn treaty, and his subjects are, at this moment, under our very eyes, acting in open violation of its best provisions, by withholding from our citizens the all important right it guarantees to them of navigating freely the Mississippi: A right essential to their very existence as a people; a right that never can be abandoned by them, but with their lives, nor yielded by us, but with our national honor.
If it should be said, Sir, that this important question will not long be an affair of controversy between the United States and Spain; that Louisiana, New Orleans, and this usurped claim of the Spanish government to the exclusive navigation of the Mississippi, will soon be found in other hands; that whenever we may have to negotiate on this subject, either in the cabinet or field, it will not be with his Catholic Majesty, but with the First Consul—not with a King, but with the King of Kings. I answer that in these insults to our national dignity, we at present know no power but Spain. Whatever agency Bonaparte may have had in this business, he has been concealed from our view. It is Spain that has violated her plighted faith—it is Spain that has trampled upon the dearest interests of the United States and insulted our government to our faces, without the semblance of a cause, and he alone is responsible to us for these outrages. And under such circumstances it is becoming, politic, or honorable in us to treat her as a friend and as a neighbour—to remonstrate with her on her acts of injustice, and wait till she shall add insult to insult, and heap injury upon injury, or what is perhaps even worse, if any thing is worse than national degradation, can befall an independent people, till this golden opportunity shall have passed away, and the facility of redress be wrested from our hands? No Sir, we should now view her as an open enemy, as having declared war against us, and do justice to ourselves. We can never have permanent peace on our western waters till we possess ourselves of New Orleans, and such other possessions as may be necessary to give us the complete and absolute command of the navigation of the Mississippi—We have now such an opportunity of accomplishing this important object as may not be presented again in centuries, and every justification that could be wished, for availing ourselves of the opportunity. Spain has dared us to the trial, & now bids us defiance—She is yet in possession of the country. It is at this moment within your reach and within your power. I offers a sure and easy conquest. We should have to encounter there now, only a weak, inactive, and unenterprising people; but how may a few months vary this scene and darken our prospects: the not officially informed, we know that the Spanish provinces on the Mississippi have been ceded to the French, and that they will as soon as possible take possession of them. What may we then expect? When in the last extremity we shall be driven to arms in defence of our indefeasible rights; where now slumbers on his post with folded arms the sluggish Spaniard, we shall be hailed by the vigilant and alert French Grenadier, and in the defenceless garrison that would now surrender at our approach, we shall see unfurled the standards that have waved triumphant
in Italy, surrounded by impregnable ramparts, and defended by the disciplined veterans of Egypt.
I am willing, Sir, to attribute to honorable gentlemen the best of motives. I am sure they do not wish to involve this country in a war, and God knows I deprecate its horrors as much as any man; but this business can never be adjusted without it—it will ultimately have to be settled upon the banks of the Mississippi, and the longer you delay, the more time you waste in tedious negotiations, the greater sacrifices you make to protract a temporary and hollow peace, the greater will be your embarrassment when the war comes on, and it is inevitable, unless honorable gentlemen, opposed to us, are prepared to yield up the best interests and honor of the nation—I believe the only question, now in our power to decide, is whether it shall be the bloodless war of a few months, or the carnage of years.
These observations, Mr. President, are urged upon the supposition that it is in the power of the government to restrain the impetuosity of the western people, and to prevent their doing justice to themselves, which by the by, I beg to be understood as not believing, but expressly the contrary. They know their own strength; they know the feebleness of the enemy; they know the importance of the stake, and they feel, permit me to say Sir, with more than mere sensibility the insults and injuries they have received; they are now all alive on this subject, and I believe will not submit, even for the approaching season, to their present ruinous and humiliating situation. You had as well pretend to dam up the mouth of the Mississippi, and say to its restless waves, ye shall cease here, and never mingle with the ocean, as to expect they will be prevented from defending it. Without the free use of the river, and the necessary advantages of deposit below our line, their fertile country is not worth possessing, their produce must be wasted in their fields, or rot in their Granaries; these are rights not only guaranteed to them by treaty, but given to them by the God of nature, & they will enforce them with, or without the authority of the government, and let me ask Sir, whether it is most dignified for the government to lead or follow in the path of honor; one it must do, or give up the Western country. But independent of these considerations, these people have other solid claims upon the government for other support. Under your auspices and with the promise of your protection, at the hazard of their lives, they explored and settled a wilderness. The lonely desert they have transformed into cultivated fields, the haunt of the wild beast, they have made the seat of science and where but a few years since was heard only the savage yell, their enterprise have reared towns and villages and planted polished societies. They are our fellow citizens, our friends and our brothers, and we are bound by every obligation of good faith, and every sentiment of honor, not to abandon them for a moment. It is now in our power, without difficulty or danger, to redress their wrongs, and to remove forever, the possibility of like indignities to the nation. But Mr. President let Bonaparte once take quiet possession of the mouth of the Mississippi, and we shall have a war indeed, nothing but the length of our swords, and the best blood of our citizens will ever make it ours—our object is universal domination; and the hero of Italy, the military despot of France a man whose towering ambition betrides the world, whose will is now the law of nations, with fifty million of people, and the resources of Europe at his command, will be a foe not easily vanquished; and I repeat Sir, let him only set his foot on that shore let him but plant a single standard there, and he will never yield it but by inches to superior force. He knows well the value of the position, he knows that it must become one of the first in the world, and that it now offers higher temptations to a powerful, ambitious and intriguing people than any place on earth. It is the only key to the immense regions watered by the Mississippi its tributary streams, to a country, larger in extent than all Europe, surpassed by no portion of the world in fertility of soil, and most of it, in climate a paradise. But Mr. President, what is more than all to be dreaded, in such hands, it may be made the means of access, and corruption to your national councils, and the key to your treasury. Your Western people, will see in Bonaparte, at their very doors, a powerful friend or a dangerous enemy.

and should be, after obtaining complete control over the navigation of the Mississippi, approach them, not in the menacing attitude of an enemy, but under the specious garb of a protector and a friend; should he instead of embarrassing their commerce by any fiscal arrangements, in- vite them to the free navigation of the river, and give them privileges in trade not heretofore enjoyed; should he, instead of attempting to coerce them to his measures, contrary to their wishes, send missionaries into their country to court & intrigue with them, he may seduce their affections, and thus accomplish by ad- dress and cunning, what even his force might not be equal to. In this way hav- ing operated upon their passions, having enlisted in his service, their hopes and their fears, he may gain an undue as- cendancy over them. Should these things be effected, which God forbid, but Bo- narparte in a few years has done much more, what let me ask honorable gentlemen may be the consequences? I fear even to look them in the face. The degraded coun- tries of Europe, that have been enslaved by the divisions and distractions of their councils, produced by similar means, af- ford us melancholy examples. Foreign influence will gain admittance into your national councils: the First Consul, or his interests, will be represented in the congress of the United States, this floor may become the theatre of sedition and intrigue; you will have a French faction in the government, and that faction will increase, with the rapidly increasing po- pulation of the Western world. When- ever this period shall arrive, it will be the crisis of American glory, and must result, either in the political subjugation of the Atlantic states, or in their separation from the Western country; and I am sure there is no American who does not view as one of the greatest evils that could befall us, the dismemberment of this union. Hon- orable gentlemen may wrap themselves up in their present imaginary security, and say that these things are afar off, or that they can never happen; but let me be- seech of them to look well to the measures they are now pursuing, for on the wisdom, the promptness and energy of those mea- sures, will depend whether they shall hap- pen or not; and let me tell them Sir, that the want of firmness or judgment in the cabinet, will be no apology for the dis- grace and ruin of the nation.
A single moment more, Mr. President, till I call to the recollection of gentle- men the language of experience, and en- deavor to impress upon their minds yet stronger, the importance of the resolutions on your table. One of the first statesmen of the age we live in, the celebrated Mr. Fox, in a most learned and eloquent speech lately delivered in the house of com- mons, taking an extended view of the affairs of Europe and of the particular si- tuation of the British Empire, explicitly declares, that he considers the preservation of national honor, to be almost the only legitimate cause of war; that he holds that doctrine upon the plain principle, that honor is directly and inseparably connect- ed with self defence and if says he, it can be proved, that the national honor has been insulted, or the national dignity dis- graced, it is a fair and legitimate cause of recommencing hostilities. These Sir are the noble sentiments of a man, who for thirty years past has supported one of the most conspicuous characters on the great political theatre of nations, who has during that time been unceasingly the favorite of the people, and the jealous advocate of their rights and liberties—they are en- titled to weight.
I hope I shall not be charged with a want of delicacy towards the feelings of ho- norable gentlemen on the other side of the house, when I say, that there was a time, even in the infancy of our government, when a soldier and a statesman, the great- est and the best of men was at the head of the administration, that the most pow- erful nation of Europe, would not have dared us with such an insult as we have re- ceived.
ministerial communication; when our wealth, our power and our resources are the boast of every American, shall we see, at our very doors, with meek and philoso- phic forbearance, the nearest interests of our citizens, trampled in the dust and the dignity of our people insulted by an im- potent and now degraded nation, and in- stead of the commanding tone and manner that becomes a nation of republicans, in- stead of taking justice into our own hands and avenging these insults and injuries, shall we stoop to send a minister abroad to supplicate, for what? For justice—for the restoration of our indisputable rights of which we have been stripped by violence; there to whisper at the foot of a throne, our national sensibilities, which we fear even to speak of but in secret at home, lest Castilian pride should be offended. I hope not Sir. I hope energetic measures will be promptly adopted, that this senate will recommend them, and that we shall not be an hour in preparing to exert the means which God has given us of enforcing the rights that belong to us by TREATY and by NATURE.

Francois, Feb. 9th , I arrived here in 14 days from San- dy Hook after experiencing a very heavy gale for 5 days on the coast; and in lat. 36, had the heaviest thunder storm I ever knew, which struck and killed almost all my live stock on deck, but did little other damage. I expected to find all tranquil here; but to my great surprise, I found the brigands firing close on the town, and some shot reached the shipping, General Rochambeau having occasion to visit another part of the island, the ne- groes took advantage of his absence, and are likely to be very troublesome. Se- veral battles have been lately sought within a mile or two of the town. Pro- visions are falling very fast, but lumber is on the rise. Few or no troops have arrived since my last voyage, and few Americans are here at present. Many Frenchmen are now embarking for New- Orleans with Dry Goods."

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Cape Francois to his correspondent in New York, dated February 8.
"At four o'clock in the morning of the 5th instant, an outpost at the back of the Cape, leading to La Bande du Nord, in which were 9 men of the national guard and one cannon, was surprised and taken by the negroes, who fired the cannon at the Cape, and then retreated to the moun- tains, burning some plantations on their way thither."

ON FOREST-TREES.
As wood is among the necessaries of life a forest is a necessary appendage to every farm. Forest trees have the power of re- producing themselves as well from their roots as from their seeds; and but for thar- nately bad management, they would be found growing in sufficient num- bers in almost every part of this country. A farmer's wood-lot should be nearly as much the object of his care as his orchard. Wood lots should remain untouched, dur- ing the seasons of spring and summer; be- cause, the wood being then full of sap, is less durable for timber and less valuable for fuel; and because the roots, being nearly exhausted of sap, have not strength to shoot forth again. Wood should be felled or cut down, between the months of November and March. This circum- stance renders it more durable in timber; and causes it, when used in fuel, to yield more heat, with less smoke; at the same time, the roots being abundantly reple- nished with sap, which is the blood of plants, are able to shoot forth a new pro- geny.
In applying the axe to a wood lot, which the owner would wish to perpetu- ate by a series of reproductions, the best method is to cut down every tree, as far as the axe-man goes. This will give the young and tender progeny the necessary advantages of a free circulation of the air, and of the unobstructed rays of the sun; whereas if some of the large trees be left, the shoots which spring up from the stumps of the others, will languish beneath their shade. The part of a wood lot, that is felled by the axe, should be kept as carefully fenced as a corn field; or other- wise the browsing of cattle, especially in the spring of the year, will poison and destroy the rising tendrils. Care should be used to pluck off a part of the ten- drils or shoots around the stump; leaving only, by the sides of each stump, two or three of the most large and thrifty.
By such a prudent management, a wood lot might be rendered a perpetual fund of timber and fuel. (Balance.)
