CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
FRIDAY, March 7.
BRITISH AFFAIRS.
DEBATE
In committee of the whole on the state of the union—Mr. J. C. Smith in the chair—on the resolution offered by Mr. Gregg.
(CONTINUED.)
Mr. Early.—Mr. Chairman. It is my intention, in submitting to the committee those observations which I am about to make, to confine myself entirely to the merits of the question under consideration.
Upon this, as upon another recent occasion, our attention has been summoned at the outset of the discussion to what gentlemen choose to call the spirit of the nation . We are told, that this spirit had been awakened by the events which led to the introduction of the resolution upon the table, and had called upon us in a loud voice, to adopt energetic measures for the vindication of our national honor, and for the protection of our national rights. The facts, sir, are incorrectly represented. The people of this nation, identified with the government of the nation, will at all times stand ready to support that government with the energies of the nation, when a proper occasion shall present itself. Governed by persons of their own immediate choice, they will constantly repose in such persons the determination of that question. Does it follow, that because they have pledged to us the support of the national energies, it is in our judgment they are become necessary, that therefore we are called upon to take a course which may render them necessary? It is true that the apprehensions of the public have been excited, least a period had arrived in which it would be necessary to put to risk the national peace. Yes, sir, it is too true that alarm has been spread thro' every quarter of the union. But by what means, and from what sources? It has been by the incorrect views of the nature and state of the interests at stake , with which our public prints have teemed. It has been by magnifying representations of the injuries really sustained on the one part, and on the other, by imposing calculations as to the sacrifices demanded to effect redress. These incorrect views of the subject are believed to have been the offspring of mercantile influence. It is from this source, by these means, and thro' these channels, that the public apprehension has been roused upon this occasion. But it is our duty to unmask the influence which has produced the evil, and to let this nation know the true state of the question now to be decided. To let them understand what the injuries are which we are called upon to redress, and the nature and extent of the interests which we are called upon to sacrifice in effecting it.
We have been asked to leave out of view in the discussion, certain distinctions which exist in the country. These distinctions are of two kinds. First, of classes, agricultural and commercial ; and Second, distinctions arising from geographical position. As to the first, we are told that the agriculture and commerce of a nation, are necessarily dependent upon each other, and therefore the prosperity of both should be equally the object of care to the government.
Whilst I am willing to acknowledge the correctness of this reasoning in its fullest extent, as applied to the natural and usual trade of a country, to the foreign and domestic trade of consumption; I am very far from being prepared to admit it as applied to the carrying trade . It is believed that however confidently Mr. Antle men pronounced upon this subject, however well they may succeed in convincing each other, by a train of reasoning which takes the circuit of the world before it draws to a conclusion, yet upon minds uninterested in the issue they fail to produce conviction. For myself I very much doubt whether the diversion of our navigation and capital into an unnatural and factitious channel, does not, by diminishing the competition in our own markets, injure the sale and reduce the price of the produce of the country. This idea, sir, is advanced with diffidence, as indeed are those which I may at any time advance upon the probable operations of commercial arrangements. But, Mr. Chairman, do not gentlemen ask too much when they require of us to jeopardize the whole agricultural interest of the nation for the sake of that which in our opinion produces no benefit to that interest? Is it not expecting too much of us to suppose that we will consent to surrender the certainty of good markets and high prices for our produce, and brave the danger of a total stagnation, for the purpose of embarking in a hazardous contest with G. Britain for the carrying trade? Sir, it is too much; gentlemen ought not, cannot expect it. They who are so eagle-eyed, so sensibly alive to whatever concerns themselves, must expect that we will not shut our eyes upon matters so important to ourselves, and to those whose trusts are confided to our fidelity.
We are also asked to leave out of view geographical distinctions. In this, Mr. Chairman, gentlemen expect impossibilities; they require us to surrender the principles of self-preservation; to strip
ourselves of the leading stimulus to human action. To this requisition we can less accede than to the former. Look to the document from the treasury which lies before us. It will there be found that the whole amount of domestic produce exported to Great Britain and her dependencies for the year 1802, was 18,727,000, that of this amount, the articles of cotton, tobacco, rice, tar, pitch and rosin, which are exclusively the product of the southern section of the union, gave the sum of 8,450,000 dollars. For the year 1803, the whole amount exported to the same places was 22,700,000 dollars; of which 11,900,000, arose from the articles above enumerated. For the year 1804, the respective amounts were 19,000,000 dollars, and 9,400,000 dollars. The average of the whole amount for the three years was 20,200,000 dollars; the average of the amount upon the enumerated articles for the same time was 9,900,000 dollars, of which last amount, the sum of 8,800,000, arose from the article of cotton and tobacco alone.
Thus, sir, stands the relative amount of the exports to G. Britain and her dependencies of the products of the southern section of the United States, and those of the whole union; and in the relative proportion of course must their different interests be affected by the adoption of this resolution.
Mr. Chairman, there is another view of the operation of the resolution; which we cannot avoid to press upon the attention of the committee. From the same document it appears that the average amount of tobacco for the three years, 1802, 3 and 4, exported from the United States was, 6,140,000 dollars; that of this amount, the proportion of 3,220,000 was exported to Great Britain. That of the article of cotton, the average amount exported for the same three years was 6,970,000 dollars, of which 5,630,000 dollars, was exported to G. Britain.
Do not gentlemen expect too much when they ask us to shut our eyes upon these facts? Do they not require of us, to abandon the best interests of those we represent? And should we not most shamefully betray the sacred trust reposed in us, by an acquiescence on our part? The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Gregg) who moved the resolution, ought least of all to expect this surrender at our hands, when it is to be feared how that surrender will be imposed upon the agricultural interest of his own state, by the adoption of the proposed measure. The articles of wheat and flour are not subjects of export to Great Britain, unless in times of famine or extreme scarcity.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
MILITIA OF THE UNITED STATES.
We have received from a friend at Washington, a "Message from the president of the United States, transmitting a statement of the militia of the U. States according to the returns received from the several states and territories." "April 11, read and ordered to lie on the table." This statement is distributed into too many tables, and spun into too many details, to be interesting or instructive in its present form. We have therefore deemed it sufficient to throw these different details into one general view.
Two principles are clear, that few governments can preserve peace who are not always prepared for war: And that for a republican government to preserve its liberty, it must prepare itself for war by a disciplined militia, and, not by standing armies. But at the present moment, we have the most delicate relations to adjust with the powers of Europe. An amicable accommodation of our differences, is perhaps, beyond our reach. We have ever heard some vague but alarming rumours, of a "threat of hostility from France." We know not how far the intemperate passion of Bonaparte may hurry him, how soon he may patch up a peace in Europe, and unite his troops with those of Spain, to invade our southern or western frontier. Under such circumstances it may not be uninteresting to examine this general view of our numbers and our means.
The following message introduces the report of the secretary of war:
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States.
I now lay before Congress a statement of the Militia of the United States, according to the returns last received from the several states and territories. It will be perceived that some of these are not recent dates; and that from the states of Maryland and Delaware no returns are
stated. As far as appears from our records, none were ever rendered from either of these states. From the territories of Orleans, Louisiana and Michigan, complete returns have not yet been received.

MR. RANDOLPH'S MOTION, TO REDUCE THE DUTY ON SALT. Of all the attempts to restore the sinking popularity of our contending demagogues, and to impose on the understanding of our citizens, there has been none more flagrant and base-faced than the late introduction of representatives, to lessen the duty on salt; as a brief statement of facts, connected with this subject will clearly explain.
When Mr. Jefferson succeeded to the presidency, it was his first care to place at the head of the treasury a man, whose turbulent opposition to the laws, had endangered the peace and safety of the United States, by greatly contributing to excite an insurrection in Pennsylvania, the suppression of which cost the nation upwards of one million two hundred thousand dollars.*
As might have been expected, under such an administration of the finances, the law imposing a tax on whiskey, which had been the pretext for the insurrection, was repealed; and, at the same time, the whole of the internal revenue was extinguished.
To supply the deficit of public income occasioned by the repeal of the taxes on whiskey, loaf sugar, and pleasure carriages, Mr. Jefferson and Mr. Gallatin, with their majorities in the national legislature, composed of the Randolphis, the Smilies, the Eppes, the Alstons, and the whole tribe of democratic pretenders, did not hesitate to continue the heavy duties on salt, brown sugar, and other necessaries of life; thereby leaving the burthen, which they had removed from the richer citizens, on the laboring and less affluent classes of the community.
After having thus aggrieved that very portion of the people, by whose suffrages (given indeed under delusive and false promises) they had been raised to power; after having continued, from the moment of Mr. Jefferson's entrance on office to the present time, this unequal and unjust assessment of public contribution, with what face does Mr. Randolph, or Mr. Smilie, or Mr. Eppes, or Mr. Alston, or any other of the partisans of either Jefferson or Madison, or Monroe, come forward to court the favor of an abused people, by such a measure?—Do they believe that their motives can be mistaken, or that the end which they severally propose, can be concealed?—Do they imagine that the
* See Mr. Gallatin's prescription, (when acting as Secretary to the Board of Infatigables at Parkinson's Ferry) of any citizen who should attempt to carry a revenue law of the United States into effect!

people are ignorant of the divisions and struggle for office, that have taken place among the demagogues—or, that the citizens of the United States, are so pliant as to bend to every breeze of blarney, as Mr. Randolph styles the coaxings of his friend Smilie?—If such be their conclusions they will be woefully mistaken—The American people are neither so ignorant of their best interests, nor so insensible to the treatment they have received from their present rulers, as to be longer hood-winked—They consider the concession of reducing the tax on salt, after it has been continued through the whole of the Jefferson administration, as a mere catch at the popular twig, by the Munroe and the Madison factions; and they despise the motive, as they do the men, whom it impels. It is a death-bed repentance, which extends not to restitution, and cannot make atonement. The confidence of the nation, must not again be betrayed; rousing from a slumber of fallacious dreams, the people will spurn such candidates as either the Jefferson or the Randolph party, could offer to their choice. It is not to the degrading submissions of Mr. Munroe,* or to the trimming ambiguities of Mr. Madison,† that the U. States can look for deliverance from the evils by which they are now encompassed. Statesmen of real patriotism, ability, and fortitude, must be appointed to guide the vessel of state, or she must inevitably perish!
* See Mr. Munroe's declaration to the French government, that "the people of the United States would submit, not only with patience but with pleasure, to any privations which the convenience of that government might require." † See Mr. Madison's answer to the address of the Merchants of New-York; and if any thing further is necessary to establish his pretensions to the Presidency; see the following declaration by this time-serving politician: "there are two means of destroying a republican government; the first is demanding too much qualification on the part of the ELECTED....the second demanding too little qualification on the part of the ELECTOR." Contrast this sentiment with the opinions and practice of Mr. Madison during the present reign, and you have his picture at full length!
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. SATURDAY, April 26.
From the WASHINGTON FEDERALIST. I could not help going to Bedlam on Monday, it being the last day of its session, the last exhibition, this reason, of frantic madness, gross folly, and excessive ignorance; and I was well paid for going: for I have learned to know what little creatures are now of our great men, and how insignificant a thing may be a member of congress. There are men there who vote on questions of finance, who Cannot take two from twenty for their lives, And leave eighteen. There are men, Who are not worth the dust which the rude wind Blows in our face; Yet they can hire the writing of a circular letter to their constituents, and when at home They 'mongst them sit like a descended god; And have a kind of honor sets them off, More than a mortal forming: Yes, numerous are those in congress who are considered the brothers and sons of Solomon, yet who "have not so much brains as ear-wax." But I am told 'tis always seen in large assemblies, thus chosen: I do not believe it: It is slandering all public bodies since the flood. The apologists for the steadiness of the miserable mass of talents in our congressional Babel, quote the liturgy, and say, "as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be." And is it so? Alas. Yes, till "our drive swift her ploughshare o'er creation," the MISERABLE VULGUS will place their political affections on "stocks and stones;" they will elect even those who have not So much in them as in the ordinary Of nature's fated work. "There is no kernel in these light nuts," yet of such are made members of congress. There is not a wise man in the house except Sloan, Bedinger, and about one hundred and twenty more, of equal wit and discretion. We have an academy of arts and sciences, a philosophical society, numerous medical societies, and ecclesiastical societies: here candidates are examined before admitted to membership. I wish we had a CONGRESSIONAL SOCIETY composed of honest men, gentlemen and scholars, whose business it should be to examine the character, talents and fitness, of all the candidates for congress in all the districts of the union; and after due examination if found worthy, to give them letters of li-
cence to become candidates for a seat in congress. In such case how many who now Have knee and approbation With Senators on the bench— would be holding the handles of a plough, or felling the woods of the forest; I have in my 'mind's eye' about eight scores of such: there are so many talkers too, such as J. Clay the constant talker, & Smilie who is always a talking; and Sloan who thinks he can never talk too much; that 'speech will shortly be commendable only in magpies and parrots'; and how obstinate, and contradictory, and inconsistent are they! But 'Tis the time's plague, And madmen lead the blind:— I'll tell you what a member of congress is: I'll give you an expressive Greekism, RIS TON ONTON, or 'of the things that are; 'a thing of shreds and patches,' 'a thing of nothing;' it is a bodiless shirt without sleeves, all flaps and binder parts. From being a member of congress 'good lord deliver me:' and yet, there is no knowing to what a man may be left; there are some good men and men of sense that are at this moment in this predicament. But stop, I'll give you a few anecdotes of Monday's Bedlamatising. Mr. Quincy introduced two memorials from Messrs. Ogden and Smith of New York. The memorial of Ogden was well drawn up, long, and contained the most conclusive circumstantial evidence, that the present administration knew of the intended expedition of Miranda; that Jefferson the arch hypocrite and Madison, the would be president, held several consultations with Miranda on the subject of the expedition. Almost every member in the house was convinced that the administration permitted the expedition, and had intended to wink at it; yet Early, that Peter Early of Georgia introduced a resolution declaring that there was no evidence in the memorial that tended in the least to implicate the administration. To be sure there was not the evidence necessary in a court of justice, but there were, however, proofs almost as "strong as proofs of holy writ." Early's resolution was carried by a vast majority. J. Randolph was however among the noes. This gentleman is a most useful states evidence; should he hereafter be as correct in all, as he has been in some things this session. Ex illo Corydon, Corydon est tempore, nobis. The memorialists had leave to withdraw their memorial; but when published, the world will be astonished at the duplicity of democratic stars of the first magnitude, that shine darkly. The conduct of Judge Talmadge of New York, by whom the memorialists were examined, exceeds any thing of the kind ever witnessed in this country. It was said in the Senate, that the House ought not to express an opinion on the conduct of this Talmadge, as probably he would next session be tried under an impeachment, for the most illegal, tyrannical and inquisitorial conduct in this case. This Talmadge is son in-law of the Vice President Clinton; such was his recommendation to office; for neither his talents, nor virtues, nor legal knowledge, fitted him for a judge-ship. The House and Senate each spent about an hour in trying to get rid of this two-edged thing. The third reading of the bill to enable Gen. Eaton to settle his accounts at the treasury, under the direction of the secretary of state, was called up. D. R. Williams, a piece of froth from South Carolina, J. Randolph's pointer, a tin canister tied to a dog's tail, as Johnson said of Boswell and himself, whose oratorial talents are of tea exemplified in a call for adjournment, wished the bill might lie on the table; or in other words, be postponed till the next session; the motion was carried. Thus he, who has probably saved the United States by his enterprise and courage, more than a million, is denied the payment of his due till another session. He was a year since in the country of an enemy; little did he then think of being now in his enemy's country. The committee who were to find charges and proofs of bribery in the postmaster general, was discharged. Granger, for his election from office of better men than himself, and for the stupidity of his manner of rendering reasons for doing so, ought to be turned from his office; but as to the charge of corrupting Duane it was all nonsense; the thing was NATURA RUA impossible. (for who can communicate offensive smells to a polecat?) nor was such corruption ever attempted. Wm. Pickney, esq attorney general of Maryland, was appointed unanimously by the senate as minister to England, with Mr. Munroe, who will return next fall. The appointment of this federal and highly respectable, and very suitable character honors both the president and the senate. "There is some soul of goodness in things evil," or, after the wretched appointments
of foreign ministers heretofore, Mr. Jefferson would not have consented to this solitary good appointment. Mr. Randolph wished to take the duty wholly from salt, and continue the duties whence arises the Mediterranean fund. The senate determined to continue both, but to reduce the duty on salt from 20 to 12 cents per bushel. Mr. Randolph's earnestness to stop the salt duty entirely, induced father Findley to ascribe his motive to a wish to embarrass the administration. D. R. Williams declared such insinuations BASE; very loud call of ORDER! ORDER, ORDER. Mr. Findley rose, but was so choked with rage he could hardly be understood. He was called most loudly to order, but refused a long time to sit. A message from the senate fortunately put an end to the altercation. Afterwards Mr. Randolph spoke with uncommon coolness and propriety. The house agreed to the senate's amendment, 12 cents instead of 20 on salt. In the course of Mr. J. Randolph's remarks he cast his eye on col. Lyon, close to whom sat at the time T. M. Randolph. T. M. Randolph tho' J. Randolph meant something for him; he rose with great indignation and excessive rage. He said that between him and J. Randolph there was, from nature, an innumerable difference of talents, [ 'There needs no ghost, my lord, come from the dead, to tell us this' ] but he [ T. M. ] excelled John as much in patriotism, as John excelled him in talents. [Humph, very modest, and as true as six pence and four pence make five pence.] He knew John's mode of warfare, powder, ball, and even steel; he was willing to deal with him in either. After a volley of heterogeneous nonsense, he equated.—This was the first time that an open challenge for a DUEL was ever given in that house. Some suppose that T. M. R. wished to rid the president of this John R. The president, like king John to Hubert, might address his son in law thus, Throw thine eye On you young boy; I'll tell thee what, my friend, He is a very fervent in my way, And wherefore this foot of mine doth tread He lies before me. Dost thou understand me? But this is a base conjecture. Some time after, T. M. R. rose, and said that he had been informed by some respectable members that J. R. intended none of his remarks particularly for him; and if so, he greatly regretted the language and sentiments he had used. [ "Your IF is the only peace maker." ] Sloan, some time after candle light, introduced two resolutions; the one, that the standing committees of the house should be chosen by ballot; the other, that they should be obliged to report every week. These resolutions were introduced by a written speech of about half an hour, a speech that emptied the head of the old fimpleton of half its native water-grog; it was a comical strain of pulpit invective against Satan of a Jan Randolph; Sloan thinks he can overturn Olympus with a pudding-stick; but the House are greatly in error, when they permit him to "talk so amply and unnecessarily, on all occasions, and without occasion, to the great expense of time, and to the vexation of common sense. Parvum parum decent, but Sloan considers himself a MAC-NUS. The House adjourned about 11 o'clock at night, till the first Monday in December. So that, if our differences are adjusted with Great Britain, the President must call Congress together before that time. And so ends the Session. About one week's business was done the first five weeks—three weeks were spent in agreeing to pay tribute to France. [The negotiation for the Floridas will however eventually fail.] About a fortnight's business was done before the first of March; Congress agreed to bluster and do nothing respecting G. Britain. A bill has passed well enough, but most agree with Mr. Randolph, that 'tis worse than nothing: we must also partly agree with him, in saying 'tis the effect of "mercantile avarice." Doctor Johnson is not far from the general truth in saying; No mercantile man, or mercantile nation, has any friendship but for money; an alliance between them will last no longer than their common safety or common profit is endangered; no longer than they have an enemy who threatens to take from each, more than either can bear from the other. A merchant's desire is not of glory, but of gain; not of public wealth, but of private emolument; he is therefore rarely to be consulted about war or peace, or any designs of wide extent and distant consequence!" There has been much talk and little business, great cry and little wool: to more than half, at the close of the session, we might well say, Imasti satis, editi satis, atque bibasti, Tempus abire eat. You've play'd enough, and eat enough, and drank enough; it is full time for you to go home.

MR. SNOWDEN, UPON coming to town last night I observed a notice inserted in your paper of the 15th inst. by the post-rider, Anthony Moore, on which I have to observe, that if my caution to the public respecting the Post Note was calculated to raise any suspicion against him, such was far from my intention. The caution was intended, according to the advice I had taken, as a necessary preliminary towards obtaining a renewal of the note for the gentlemen concerned, for whom I was merely an agent in this business, and having given him a letter at the Washington Tavern, to the best of my recollection, on the day mentioned, for Jefferson county, I was under a full impression at the date of the caution, that the said letter was the one containing the Post Note. It was stated in the caution that it was supposed to be lost or mislaid, and this is an accident that might have happened to any one, in which case it might have fallen into improper hands, and hence arose the necessity of the caution. If necessary I can here add my testimony to the fact stated in his notice, viz. that the latter containing the post note did lately arrive late in Jefferson by the mail from Charleston, South Carolina, with the Alexandria post mark on it, dated the very day on which I had supposed I gave him the letter. This fact, if any such suspicion, has really been entertained against the post rider, will be sufficient to do it away. Thomas Fairfax. April 26. 032.

POTOMAC is a coal black, of great size and beauty, 15 and an half hands high, and a form not to be exceeded. He stands at this very low price for two years only, that his breed may be extended to prove his value. He is as high a bred horse as any in the world, as the annexed certificate shows. I do hereby certify, that the black colt Potomac was bred by me and foaled in the spring of 1799. His sire was my horse Chatham, and Chatham was got by Col. Thomas Mann Randolph's Laburnum, out of my mare Isabella, and both descended from Col. John Bayler's famous Old Fernough and the imported dam of Apollo. From a variety of crosses I consider Potomac to be as high a bred horse as any in America. William Fitzhugh. Pasturage gratis, but no liability for accidents or escapes. John Psall, Agent.

He is a native of Germany, and retains much of the Dutch accent in speaking English, which he articulates slowly, and with a little lisp.
When he left Baltimore, he travelled leisurely through Virginia, collecting his debts in Fredericksburg, Richmond and other parts of the state, and about the first of April was seen at Stanton, near which place he is supposed to be at present.

He is about 23 years of age, 5 feet 8 or 9 inches high, lusty and well made, has short curled hair, and is frequently subject to have several large pimples in his face.
