CONGRESS.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, January 20.
DEBATE ON EXTRA SESSION.
[CONTINUED.]
MR. QUINCY.—Mr. Speaker—I feel myself necessitated to make a very few remarks, in consequence of the observations which have fallen from various gentlemen. Certainly, sir, I did expect that the course of my former argument would expose me to some animadversion. In great and critical periods of society, such as the present, nothing else can be anticipated. In performing the duty which my station, in my apprehension, made incumbent, my first concern was to satisfy myself that the ground I was about to occupy was solid.—Whether it would provoke asperity in reply was a secondary consideration in comparison with the enquiry whether it would bear the scrutinizing eye of the mass of my fellow-citizens; particularly of men of reflection, of judgment and of information; of that class of men which always in a country like this will, sooner or later, take the guidance of public opinion. Having satisfied myself that the principal ground of my argument was solid, my next care was to mark it out so distinctly that it could not be mistaken. Yet those who have undertaken to reply to me, my colleague (Mr. Bacon) perhaps excepted, have scarcely noticed the general bearing of my argument, and have contented themselves with inveighing against what, as they suggest, are my motives, or in refuting remarks merely incidental, and illustrative of my leading propositions. Thus the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Eppes) has undertaken to deny that all the motives which I recapitulated, were operative in passing the embargo, and as an evidence of this to assert that some of them were never urged at the time of passing that law, as reasons for its adoption. Sir, I took occasion, in the course of my first argument, expressly to declare that in the enumeration of motives I was making it was not my purpose to call those motives in question, nor yet to confine myself to those which were expressly urged in debate, but to group all, which there was any reason to believe did exist, together, so as to make the conclusion more striking and satisfactory that they did not include those which, I undertook to show, were the causes of the recommendation of that measure by administration. The bearing of my argument, to which this recapitulation of motives was only subsidiary, was to show that embargo, with intention to coerce G. Britain, to adhere to it until it attained its purpose, and to do nothing else effectual were not the motives of this house. This was the first branch of my argument. My second and principal was to show that those were the motives of administration. In executing this last part of my task I stated, that it was my perfect conviction that such motives did prevail with administration.—But I did not rest satisfied with mere assertion. I stated the grounds of my conviction. I drew my conclusions concerning the motives of public men from the undeniable course of their public acts. Whether the arguments then urged were sufficient to justify such a conviction, is a question referred to the decision of my fellow-citizens. From that tribunal I shall not shrink; and before it I am not afraid to meet any or all my political opponents. To these arguments, certainly not personal, nor in any respect unparliamentary, what has been the reply? Why, sir, “false”—“malicious”—“defamatory”—“cowardly, base detraction”—“dastardly act”—“old tory”—“friend to Great Britain”—“Nero”—“Essex Funt,” and such like. Really, Mr. Speaker, I have no means of reply to such arguments as these. Absolutely, I can make no answer to them, through the defect of my education. I never studied at the school of the scavenger. I never took out degrees at the oyster bench. I never sat down at the feet of fish-women, as though they were so many she Gamaliels, for the purpose of teaching my gall to flow through the channels of their boisterous Billingsgate. The gentlemen who resort to such weapons have all the advantage of me. If they think that their cause or their argu-
ment gain any thing by the use of such opprobrious expressions, they have perfect liberty to adopt them. I have one consolation, that so far as respects this house, what I urged, and what they replied, have both been in its presence, and I fear not to stand a comparison with them, as it respects either matter or manner, in the judgment even of their friends. I have another consolation that my argument and their answers will each be presented, I trust, fairly to the scrutiny of our fellow-citizens. Before them we shall all be appreciated, sooner or later, for what intellectually and morally, we are worth. For myself, I wish never to be appreciated above my true estimate, and I fear not that I shall, for any great length of time, stand below it. With respect to administration, sir, I intimated no motive without stating the facts, out of which my conclusions grew. Beyond the limit of those facts and the extent of those conclusions, I pressed none of my observations. As far as this I had not only a right, but it was my duty to advance. If gentlemen expect to prevent investigations, of public men and public measures, conducted on such principles, by personal invectives, the nature and tendency of which are too obvious to be misunderstood, so far as respects myself, individually, they have mistaken their weapons, and their antagonist. It is a choice satisfaction of my mind, that it is not in the power of any individual, however malignant (should such a character ever appear on this floor) long to injure the reputation of any one, whose private or public life does not co-operate with their malevolent intentions. And I assure the gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Jackson) and every gentleman who has spoken, that I shall never be a half-worker with them, probably in any thing; but certainly not in the attempt to injure my own character.—The sting of satire is in the truth of remark. The keenness of asperity is in the justness of the application. Where these fail the sped arrow cuts the air harmless.
It is not my intention long to detain the house, in the remarks I have to offer. Towards those, who have attempted to treat me with personal severity, I feel no passion. If their cause need such auxiliaries, I can only pity them, and rejoice, that such a cause is not mine. My honorable colleague (Mr. Bacon) in observing upon my remarks concerning the disposition of this house to go to war, was pleased to represent me as disparaging the resources of my country; and as speaking as if we could not maintain a contest with France or G. Britain; or, if occasion called, with both of them together. Certainly, such was neither my intention, nor the tendency of my remarks. I was speaking of the disposition of the majority of this house, as evidenced by their language and preparations, and not at all concerning the resources of this country, when efficiently called into action. It appeared to me, from all the observations I could make, and so appearing, I thought it was my duty to state it to the people, that all the clamor about war, so ostentatiously made, upon this floor, was nothing else than a mean used to induce the mass of our fellow citizens, through dread of the horrors of war, to endure still longer the embargo; that the continuance of the embargo was the unalterable determination of administration, and that all the application of our resources, and all the apparent preparation was directed either to cover that determination, or to fortify that measure. This was the leading position which I took, and attempted to maintain. When I hear men talk about going to war three millions of dollars in the treasury. [Mr. G. W. Campbell said there were sixteen millions in the treasury.] Yes, sir, there are sixteen millions in the treasury. And the Secretary of the Treasury tells you that thirteen millions, out of these sixteen, are already pledged, for the expenses of the year, for the appropriations already made, and for the usual annual estimates. Now, if a man, at the beginning of a year, has sixteen millions in his pocket, and has already undertaken to pay in the course of it, thirteen millions, I do humbly conceive, he has but three millions, upon which he can rely to meet any extraordinary expenditure. Indeed this is the express declaration of the Secretary of the Treasury; who tells us in so many words, that there is “a surplus only of three millions of dollars, for defraying all the expenses incident to a state of actual war or of preparations for war.” Now when I see only these three millions effective, in your treasury—all your revenue from commerce gone—no preparations for loans—no plan devised, or pretended to be in train, to obtain new sources of revenue, how is it possible, that I can believe that it is in the contemplation of this house to plunge into war? I cannot believe, nor refrain from stating this impression to the people, that all this clamor about war, is a pretence, under which, and under the fears, which war na-
turally excites, to rivet this destructive embargo upon the country. How is it possible to read the annual report of the Secretary of the Treasury, and not inevitably reach that conclusion? In his annual report, that officer tells us expressly, that “if, however, the embargo and non-intercourse are to have equal continuance, with the belligerent edicts, indefinite, as that is; if it be determined to rely exclusively on that measure, and at all events, not to risk a war on account of those aggressions, preparations for war will become useless, and the extraordinary expenses need not be incurred. In that case, the expenditure for the year 1809, ought not to exceed the sum of thirteen millions of dollars, which, as has been stated, is requisite for the support of the present establishment.” And again, “it is certainly only with a view to war, either immediate or contemplated, that it will become necessary to resort, at least, to any considerable extent, to extraordinary sources of supply.” Now, sir, when a most influential officer of this government, no less than the head of the treasury, expressly tells us as he does, that “in case of war, new resources, to an amount yet unascertained, must be resorted to,” when he also tells us, that “if non-intercourse and embargo are to have an indefinite continuance, it will not become necessary to resort, at least to any considerable extent, to extraordinary sources of supply; such resort being only necessary, in case of war, immediate or contemplated,” and when this house do not provide any new resources, either of loans or revenues, when it leaves the treasury precisely in that state, in which the Secretary tells us, it may be left, in case indefinite, non-intercourse and embargo are resolved upon, and precisely in that state in which the same Secretary tells us it must not be left, in case war be the determination, how is it possible that any other conclusion can be imagined than this, that war is not, but that indefinite embargo is contemplated. Sir, these are conclusions concerning intentions from public documents compared with public conduct. If gentlemen choose to fly into a passion on every such exposition, all I can say is, that I shall not follow their example, nor be deterred by their exhibition of wounded feelings, from performing an official duty. An attempt has been made to wrest an observation of mine to imply a doubt of the courage of the officers appointed to the new army. Nothing could be more unfounded than such an attempt. Concerning few of those appointments to I know not what. And of those few officers with whom I have personal acquaintance, there are some in the propriety of whose appointment I certainly concur. The only tendency of my argument was to show that a party army, whose officers were exclusively taken from a prevailing sect, was not likely to produce that union, to which gentlemen so anxiously invited. If a foreign war was seriously contemplated, the necessity of a union among all parties, would induce naturally, as I thought, a different course of conduct.—Such a course, as by practically removing party distinctions, would unite all in that common confidence, which is the only assurance of strength and vigor in hostile operations. When I found the principle of party exclusion adopted as the rule of appointments, the conclusion I drew from the fact was, that the army was destined only to effect party purposes, and not at all to meet a common enemy. For with all the prejudices which exist against federal men, as they are called, there is no need of argument to convince even the majority of this house, that they are in general men, who, when their country is in danger, will be found and will be trusted, in the front ranks of our armies.
[Speech to be continued.]

THURSDAY, Feb. 9.
ELECTORAL VOTES.
Mr. Macon moved to amend the journal of yesterday's proceedings, by inserting the letter of Mr. Walton the elector from Kentucky, who did not attend to give his vote, stating the reasons thereof. He stated his object to be to state on the journal the reason why one vote was deficient from the state of Kentucky, that it might serve as a precedent on similar occasions. For, if hereafter in consequence of the sickness or inability to attend of any one or more electors, there should be a tie betwixt any two candidates for the presidency, it would be a matter of question whether their votes, although not able to attend at the time ought not to be counted.
Some discussion took place on this point, it being contended by some gentlemen, that the house had no concern with the causes why any vote was not received, but merely to count those which came to hand.
And that if it was intended to fix a precedent to govern future proceedings on this subject, it ought to be done with great deliberation.
Mr. Macon's motion was negatived 20.
NON INTERCOURSE.
Mr. Taylor said it would be recollected that in the course of the public business this session, a resolution reported by a committee on our foreign relations arose out of a motion of a member from N. Carolina, for the purpose of interdicting commercial intercourse with such belligerent nations in force decrees or edicts against the commerce of the U. S. had been agreed and referred to the same committee, who had reported a bill for non-intercourse. This bill in fact however comprized but half of the whole subject embraced by the words “non-intercourse.” The bill reported to the house provided for the importation of the goods, wares and merchandise, the growth and manufacture of these particular countries. That this may be readily accounted for from the circumstance that the house was then engaged in passing a law for the enforcement of the embargo, the committee before having only in view the other part of the question, so as to complete a measure. After the bill was reported by a member from Tennessee (Mr. Rhea) in order that the whole might be incorporated into one, offered a resolution for that purpose, I did think it unnecessary at time; but as the course of business to look towards a repeal of the embargo, order that the whole subject of non-intercourse may be incorporated in the bill before the house, I move that the committee on the whole be discharged from the consideration of the bill, and that it may be referred to a committee, in order that it may be made in fact what the title imports it to be, a completely a bill for non-intercourse between this country and those nations in force decrees affecting our neutral commerce. The committee of the whole was discharged from the further consideration of the bill, Ayes 72.
A motion having been made that the bill be referred to the committee of the whole on Mr. Nicholas's resolution, was negatived, 56 to 43.
It was then moved to refer the bill to a committee who reported it, and carried to 41.
Much desultory debate took place on the motions in which Messrs. Sloan, R. Williams, Upham, Macon, Taylor, Nicholas, Van Horne and S. partook.
Mr. W. Alston moved that the committee which now has under consideration the solutions offered by Messrs. Nicholas, Bacon and Durell be discharged from the further consideration of them, and that it be referred to the same committee to whom the non-intercourse bill was just referred.
Mr. Dawson seconded the motion. Messrs. Smilie, Love, Holland, and supported it, and Messrs. Dana, Randolph, Milnor, Gardenier and Macon opposed it.
The question was taken on discharging the committee from the further consideration of them at half past 5 o'clock by Yeas and Nays as follows:
YEAS—Messrs. L. J. Alston, W. Alston, Bard, Bibb, Blackledge, Blount, Boyd, Boyle, Burwell, Butler, Calhoun, C. Copton, Cutis, Dawson, Deane, Durell, Eppes, Findley, Fisk, Foxworth, Gholson, Goodwyn, Green, Heisterkamp, Holland, Holmes, Howard, Humphreys, Jackson, Johnson, Jones, Kenan, Lambert, Love, Marion, Montgomery, D. Montgomery, J. Montgomery, Moore, T. Moore, Jer. Morrow, Morrow, Newbold, Newton, Porter, Pugh, Rea, (Pen.) Rhea, J. Richards, M. Richards, Say, Shaw, Smelt, Smilie, J. Smith, Wharton, Whitehill, Wilbour, A. Williams—55.
NAYS—Messrs. Bacon, Bassett, Champion, Chittenden, Cook, Dana, Davenport, Elliot, Ely, Gardner, Gardner, Garnett, Gray, Harris, H. Isley, R. S. Jackson, Jenkins, Kelly, Lewis, Livermore, Lloyd, Lyon, Macon, Milnor, Moseley, Mumford, Quincy, Randolph, Riker, Rowan, Sell, Sloan, J. K. Smith, S. Smith, Stedman, Storer, Sturges, Taggart, Talimadge, Taylor, Trigg, Upham, Van Alen, Van C. Van Horne, Van Rensselaer, R. R. Williams—55.
Mr. W. Alston then moved to commit the resolutions to the committee to whom the bill on the subject of non-intercourse was referred.
This motion was opposed by Messrs. Randolph, Lyon, Van Horne, Bacon, Gardenier, Quincy and Milnor; and supported

by Messrs. Taylor, W. Alston and Hol- land. The motion was carried by yeas and nays, 55 to 36. Mr. Van Allen moved to refer to the same committee a resolution offered by Mr. Mun- ford at the commencement of the session for a partial repeal of the embargo; but the house adjourned before a question could be taken. The effect of the votes of this day, is to refer to the committee on our foreign rela- tions, composed of Messrs. G. W. Camp- bell, Nicholas, Bacon, Taylor, Fisk, J. Montgomery, Munford, Champion and Porter, the several propositions for the re- peal of the embargo, for arming the mer- chant vessels, for non-intercourse, for ex- cluding armed vessels from our waters, and for declaring the first capture made in vio- lation of the neutral rights of the U. S. to be a declaration of war, &c. with leave to report by bill. The chief argument in favor of this gene- ral reference was, that these propositions might be merged in one bill which should present a general system, and thus render less complicated the proceedings of the house on these resolutions. The main ar- guments against it were, that it would des- troy all that had already been done in com- mittee of the whole, and probably prevent a system at length to the house which would not be approved, and thus produce no other effect at this late period of the ses- sion than to protract discussion; and also, that it would encourage that speculation now going on in the mercantile towns, and be ruinous to many men of moderate capi- tals who had embarked their all in the pur- chase of produce, in the certainty that the embargo would be raised on the 4th of March.
Senate of the United States.
FEBRUARY 8. After the Senate had returned from the joint meeting of the two houses. On motion of Mr. Smith of Maryland, Resolved, That the President of the U.

States be repeal- ed on the fourth day of March next, except as to G. Britain and France, and their de- pendencies; and that provision ought to be made by law for prohibiting all commercial intercourse with those nations and their de- pendencies, and the importation of any ar- ticle into the U. States the growth produce or manufacture of either of the said nations, or of the dominions of either of them. Mr. Giles also submitted the following motion for consideration. Resolved, That provision ought to be made by law for interdicting all foreign armed ships from the waters of the U. S.

It was peculiarly the policy of Rich- lieu to increase the naval power of France. Colbert wished to increase the commerce of his country, but the measures which he took for that purpose were ill-judged in the extreme, and the merchants asked him to let them alone. It is notorious that Bona- parte is almost as anxious for "ships, colo- nies, and commerce," as for continental do- minion. He is jealous and envious of Old England, and is vain enough to hope one day to possess her navy and her trade. In the late expose of the state of the Empire, which, from its immense length, is not pub- lished at large in any of the newspapers, he boasts that in India, prizes to the value of 15 millions (of francs undoubtedly) have been the result of the cruizes of his frigates. (The English acknowledge that the French cruizers have been very successful in the Indian Seas.) He says that his privateers in all parts of the world, and above all in the seas of India and Guadaloupe, have proved themselves formidable to the enemy. It is stated that ten ships of the line are fitted for sea at Antwerp; that twelve ships of the line and as many frigates, have been launch- ed within the year; that twenty-five more, and as many frigates, are on the stocks; that his ports are preserved in perfect order, and the creation of that of Cherbourg far advanced; that Spezzia is about to become a second Toulon; that the Bologne flotilla is still in a state of complete equipment; and that the union of almost all the coasts of the Mediterranean to France, secures to his arsenals and his ships abundant supplies of provisions, stores and men. To this epitome we subjoin the following extract.
[Freeman's Journal.]
"Marine."—Though during the present campaign, the government has limited its maritime operations, still a squadron armed at Toulon as if by enchantment, and con- ducted with skill, has been able to defeat, by able manœuvres, the combinations of the enemy, by conveying to Corfu two years supplies of men, artillery, provisions and ammunition. After having thus rendered useless the expedition with which bar- rier of the Adriatic was threatened, the fleet of admiral Gantheume returned safe thro' the difficulties of a boisterous navigation, and all the dangers of continued tempests. The colonies have in like manner been suc- cessfully supplied with provisions, by squad- rons of frigates and corvettes, which, while they fulfilled that important object, had, like the squadron that went to Corfu, the advan- tage of making prizes of a great number of the enemy's ships."

THE PULPAMENTUM.
Pater ipse solendi Haud facitum esse viam voluit: primusque per artem Movit agros, curis acuens mortalia corda, Nec torpere gravi passus sua regna verno. VIRGIL.
ANSWER from Monsieur EMBARGO, to the REMONSTRANCE of M c FINGAL the Second.
THANK the gods you wear your head, Little saucy crooked Zed; "Blood and thunder! fire and smoke! Dare you thus our wrath provoke. Thou vapor, of mere wind a cargo— Know us for the Great Embargo— Whose fame ere now doth surely reach All places nam'd in Mitchell's speech. On us depends to starve—or treat The Britons with our bread and meat. If here I reign, what is't to thee, man? Hav'n't I sav'd each ship and seaman? Hav'n't I sav'd your goods and cattels? And kept you from the din of chattels? If you can't sell, I'm very sure Your Beef and Pork will make manure. Bout Lard and Butter pray dont mope; 'Twill be good grease to make your soap. As for Tobacco, 'twon't grow rotten; And you will find good use for cotton; For if we've war, and if so be
We send our army out to sea. Each man may stride a well fill'd bag. 'Twill make, I guess, a good sea nag— And on each bag with arms should one float, Each bag may then be call'd a gun boat. Six hundred thousand should we make, We soon should see Great-Britain quake. Six hundred thousand—wav, God save ye— One half would take the British navy— And t'other half, d'ye see, the whites, Might board all their West-India Isles.
You think that we shall be at fault About the article of salt; We've of resources a grand trio; Have we not Licks on the Ohio? Is not the sea an endless fountain? And have we not the great Salt Mountain? Suppose it is not very near, You may get to it once a year; And when there, may get a load, Enough to last you on the road! Suppose we have not flutes and fiddles, Suppose we have not pins and needles— Our red brethren will us shew How in such cases we must do; Without needles, thread or pins, I guess they make their coats of skins; Ere the pin-making race was born, Pins grew on briers and on thorn. Suppose we have not looking-glasses, To shew the faces of our lasses; Did not Narcissus once—oddsblood— His face survey in the calm flood? Who knows but Mitchell, chymist good? May Venice glass make out of wood? Or—what's more like to come to pass— Make looking out of Isinglass? By which our trade will be expanded, And Grafton* stone be much demanded. You say we can't get wine! Don't think it— But be it so—the Turks don't drink it. Our own distillers are so handy, They can make peach and cider brandy; In many places they begin To make good Whiskey too, and Gin: Our Mitchell, taught by Jove's wise daugh- ter, May best Brandy make from water! But may-be, for some time to come, We shall not make New-England Rum: For 'tis affirm'd, by those in trade, 'Tis not without Molasses made. But some pains we will speedy take To find a great Molasses lake; Or river, which enough may pour ye;— We sent to taste the red Missouri: But though 'twas red and muddy found, In sweetness it did not abound. We sent a captain of our host Quite over to the North West Coast; But for the lake we seek, 'tis clear He didn't in the right track steer. Should this vast lake be above ground, 'Twill be in Lousian found; When found, we'll Rum make cheap as swill, That ev'ry man his skin may fill; Forget his losses, trade and wealth, And drink, in Lethean streams, our health!
I long to see your heads and ears In caps made out of skins of deers; Your bear-skin breeches, bear-skin coats, And waistcoats made of skins of goats Thus habited, you'd look akin To Herc'les in the Lion's skin! Or the simiile would look more new, so We would say like Robin Crusoe. A most important branch of trade is To get rich dresses for the ladies; Instead of long-tail'd gowns and big sleeves, Why not dress them, like Eve, in fig-leaves? Why not oblige the girls by law, To wear a blanket, like a Squaw? I question if 'twou'd not be better, To place them in a state of nature; They then wou'dn't be so vain all— So Godwin says, and Abbe Raynal. You then might pass—for every one— St. Tamm'ny's daughter, or his son. Then Sachem Mitchell should you soon see, And the great father—Father Mooney! Each brutal Indian, and his wife, Adopt the wish'd for savage life: Then swords should turn to pruning hooks, And spears to peaceful shepherds' crooks; Great guns and muskets, thrown aside, No more should swell the purple tide. Then, no more shot like crows and sparrows You should be kill'd with bows and arrows— Or, after ev'ry warlike TALK, Scalp'd with an edgeless tomahawk.
Give then th' Embargo all due praise, For bringing on the halcyon days— And say not from the sea we're pent; 'Tis a "dignified retirement." A measure 'tis precautionary, Don't let its long continuance stare ye— A measure strong and part coercive; Mun'cipal too to guard our own hive; Resistance powerfull, bloodless war— Our land renowning near and far: Then keep you quiet in your stations, And I will overthrow the nations.
