CONGRESS. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Monday, January 26.
On motion of Mr. Tracy, the House went into a committee of the whole on the bill supplementary to an act concerning invalids. Mr. Cobb in the chair. The bill was read.
Mr. Tracy then proposed an amendment which was in substance that every commissioned officer who has received commutation, and who has been, or shall be placed on the pension list, shall not be entitled to receive his pension unless he shall first have returned the commutation which he has received, into the Treasury of the United States.
The amendment was agreed to by the committee. The amendment passed the House, and the bill was ordered to be engrossed for a third reading.
Mr. W. Smith brought in a report from the select committee, on the propriety of continuing in force, or repealing the act relative to the encouragement of the importation of arms, &c. into the United States. The committee in their report recommended the repealing the greater part of the law. Mr. Dayton moved that the House should go immediately into the subject. The House agreed to the report, and a committee were appointed to bring in a bill.
Mr. Goodhue reported a bill relative to the compensation to be given to officers employed in the collection of the duties on import and tonnage.
The House went into a committee, Mr. Cobb in the chair, on the bill supplementary to an act for the more effectually collecting of duties on goods, wares and merchandise imported into the United States, and on the tonnage of vessels.
The bill with amendments was reported to the House. It was then ordered to be engrossed for a third reading to-morrow.
A bill was read from the select committee which had been appointed this day for reporting a bill, for repealing part of an act for encouraging the importation of ammunition into the United States. The bill was read a first and second time, and made the order of the day for a committee of the whole to-morrow.
A bill supplementary to the act imposing duties upon goods, wares and merchandise, imported into the United States, was returned from the Senate with amendments. They were agreed to by the house.
The act of naturalization was also returned from the Senate with amendments, which the house agreed to.
A report was read from the committee appointed to enquire into the state of public accounts. The report was ordered to be printed.
The committee on the bill from the Senate for amending the post office law, brought in a report, which was read and referred to a committee of the whole to-morrow.
Mr. M c Dowell observed, that there was before the house a report of a committee on the petition of Thomas Person, and others, proprietors of lands in the territory of the United States south of the river Ohio. This report was taken up some weeks ago, but was then postponed with an expectation of farther information coming to hand, and this information has now been received. Mr. M c Dowell therefore noticed to the house, that he should call up that report to-morrow. It was said, a subject of considerable importance. He wished gentlemen to turn their attention to it, for a decision appeared necessary, as a great number of citizens in the state of North Carolina and elsewhere, are waiting with anxiety for a determination.
The house went into a committee of the whole, on the report of the select committee on the petition of Nathaniel Appleton. The substance of the report was, "that the sum of dollars be paid out of the public treasury to Nathaniel Appleton, to compensate him for his losses by fire during his exertions to save public property, while his own was consumed."
Mr. Nicholas wished to know what was the public property saved.
Mr. Dexter replied, that Mr. Appleton was a commissioner of loans, and he had saved books and papers relative to the debts of the United States. What would or might otherwise have been saved, there was nobody who could tell.
Mr. Blount objected to this report as a bad precedent.
Mr. Tracy doubted whether the house could properly make a general grant of this nature like this. If it had been possible to specify something worth ten,
or a hundred, or a thousand pounds of the property of Mr. Appleton consumed by fire, while he was saving the public property, and which but for that, would have been saved, he might then agree to it, but such a prooof was impossible.
Mr. Sedgwick was for agreeing to the report.
Mr. Boudinot was against it. The more the consequences of this grant were contemplated, the more dangerous they would appear. If it had been proved that in the case of fire, Mr. Appleton had not given his first attention to the public papers, the legislature would, in the opinion of Mr. Boudinot, have tried some means to get him dismissed. Mr. Appleton had, in his memorial, stated, that his salary was too small owing to the prodigious advance in the price of living. This was a quite distinct thing from the misfortune by fire. If the salary was too small, Mr. Boudinot was willing to make it larger.
Mr. Christie wondered that the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Sedgwick) could think of proposing such a grant. Not long ago, it was proved that an officer, (Major Rudolph) had spent an hundred pounds in the service of the public, and had never got payment, and this gentleman refused to pay him. But now, because a man, when his house was burning had taken up an armful of books, and got away with them, you are to pay him. There was no consistency in such things. Mr. Christie said that he feared the merit of the claim was affected in this case by the quarter from whence it came. There was no consistency in such opinions.
On a division thirteen members were in favour of the report, which was thus negatived. The committee rose, and the House, at half past three o'clock, adjourned.
For the Gazette of the United States. In the Woods, 20th Jan. 1795. To the REPUBLICAN and DEMOCRATIC SOCIETIES.
IT has been a phenomenon of difficult solution, in the minds of many, that since the term self-created applies as well to some religious, mechanical, agricultural, and the Cincinnati societies, as it does to Republican or Democratic; that the two last only should be offended at the President's speech, and take to themselves the censure which it contains. Your patrons, or rather those who made excuses and apologies for you in Congress, (for none were hardy enough absolutely to defend you) but reluctantly acknowledging you had gone too far, repeatedly declared the term self-created , was as applicable to, and descriptive of, the former as the latter, of these denominations of societies; and your friends actually placed their triumph in this, that their opponents, with whom they ranked the President, had, in their warfare against the freedom of speech, thrown a censure upon the Quakers, Baptists, Methodists, and upon the Cincinnati, of which he was, or had been, the head. Yet we do not find any of these societies, though if you please self-created , have made any complaint against the President, for having fixed a stigma upon them, or charging them unjustly. Indeed, after all the attempts of your apologists, and some of them waxed warm on the occasion, to spread abroad the idea of their being implicated, and to wipe the guilt from their darling clubs, by making it believed, that the President, with such as thought with him in Congress, had gone beyond the line of duty and propriety, in throwing out hints and aspersions injurious to these harmless innocent societies of religionists, and others—it is a notorious fact, that not one of them, or any body else, have thought themselves in any manner alluded to by the President, Senate, or members of the House, during the debate. Whence is this, and how comes it about, that of all the self-created societies in America, none but those founded upon principles hostile to the federal government; originating at a season, and from circumstances, that threatened its existence; and composed mostly, of men anti-federal from its establishment—men, disappointed and dissatisfied with all the administration, and of dispositions naturally tinged with the spirit of jealousy, disorder, confusion—and a low, restless ambition, should be the only ones to take the censure to themselves, and call upon the people to protect them? I say such societies as are composed mostly of men ant federal, disappointed, dissatisfied—of dispositions susceptible of unreasonable jealousies—that delight in disorder and con-
fusion of civil rights—who are ambitious, and, on all occasions, seek to make people uneasy with the laws of the land, because, upon a candid examination of your clubs, we find a great proportion of their members of this description.
It would be easy to begin with the most caterpillar club at Boston, and go southerly till we come to that collected rabble club of Charleston, and lay my finger on all those characters, as the most influential members in them. I need not point you to the conduct of some members of these clubs, at certain trials that have taken place in courts of justice, at elections, &c. these are open to all, and sufficiently marked out. You will recollect what took place at the trial of Henfield—you will recollect, also, how the clubs have declared, that 'tis time they were multiplied, for the purpose of influencing elections throughout the United States.
Why are these the only clubs, and their members the only individuals, who complain? May we not here very justly apply the old maxim, and say, the wounded bird is known by her fluttering? Do you not, by your conduct, say of yourselves what the prophet Nathan did to David? We are the men: We are the very self-created societies, and we only who have frustrated the execution of the laws, and fomented the insurrection, by assuming the tone of condemnation upon them.
If the President had asked this plain, simple question—Who have stirred up and encouraged the disturbances in the western parts of Pennsylvania? it would not have been answered more directly and satisfactorily, to impartial minds, than your clubs have now done it. Indeed you have gone farther, and acknowledged yourselves more extensively guilty than the charge implied in the speech: The implied charge went only to certain self-created societies , while all the self-created societies of your description , acknowledge the justice of it.
It is not probable the President knew how many self-created societies there were in the United States, or what was the conduct, on this point, of all whose existence had come to his knowledge; he, therefore, in conformity to his particular knowledge of the fact, restricted the charge to certain of them . But here again, you verify another maxim, a guilty conscience needs no accuser—Before you are accused, you confess your guilt.
ONE of the PEOPLE. The following article copied from the American Minerva may suggest some ideas on the important subject of public Education, not unworthy the consideration of the Legislature of this State.
To the LEGISLATURE of the State of New-York.
It is in contemplation to bring forward at this session a plan of public education.—Such a system, if wisely digested and carried into effect, being the basis of a republican government, will doubtless claim and command a large portion of your legislative deliberations.
The most obvious point in this business is the necessity of planting schools in every town and village, so distributed as to render some of them accessible to every family; unless indeed a few scattering families in the wilderness be excepted, on account of inability to contribute, or of too remote a situation to be accommodated. These, it is presumed are few in number.
The children of people destined to labor for subsistence, have no need of Greek and Latin, nor of the higher branches of education. But they all want to know how to read, write, and perform the common rules of arithmetic. These rudiments of education, being necessary to enable citizens to understand their rights and their duties, and to perform their common business as free citizens, very naturally fall within the care of the legislature; for it is the first duty of the legislators of a free people to place within the reach of people, all the means of making them good citizens.
In what shall a general system for this purpose be accomplished? The plan of instruction in the Eastern States may furnish some useful hints on this point, and you will doubtless be able to improve upon it, and furnish one more perfect and better accommodated to the circumstances of the people in this state.
The great spring of public instruction in Connecticut, which is remarked for universality of learning among the yeomanry, is an appropriation of a certain sum of public money out of the treasury of the state, to defray a part of the expense of schools, which appropriation operates like a bounty for their encouragement.—Every town is entitled by law to draw upon the treasury for a sum of money proportioned to the amount of taxes paid by that town; or rather in proportion to the taxable property of the town. This sum however is never sufficient to pay all the expenses of the schools in the town; a part being always raised by an assessment made by the people on themselves: But the sum is so
considerable as to afford much encouragement; & as those towns only can draw the money, which keep the schools required by law, every town is stimulated to keep the schools, by the consideration that others will do this and take a portion of money from the treasury, if they do not. The whole money paid annually in that state for the support of schools amounts to about ten thousand dollars.
But this scheme, as it is the main pillar of a free government, and designed to last as long as the state, deserves to be well digested, laid on a broad scale, and rendered coherent in all its parts. It will probably be found necessary to recur to the first principles of republican organization.
The preliminary step has already been taken in the division of the state into townships; but this is only an outline, which still remains to be filled up.
It has been found useful in the Eastern states, where reigns a degree of equality among the citizens, unknown in other parts of the world, to vest in the towns very considerable portions of power in managing small local concerns, in subordination to general laws. The towns in those states are properly Executive Corporations , a species of societies unknown in the other states, and perhaps they have nothing that resembles them in any part of the world. General laws of the state create these corporations, define their power and prescribe their duties. The laws declare that schools shall be kept so many months in the year—roads shall be repaired—bridges built—the poor supported—ferries maintained &c. The laws prescribe what shall be done, and commit the execution to the towns. The business is done in public meetings of the inhabitants, legally called by the Selectmen—in which meetings the officers of the town, as Selectmen, Constables, Commissioners of roads, are chosen. Among other articles, the towns are empowered to divide the inhabitants into districts, each suitable for one school; that is consisting of a convenient number of inhabitants to furnish children to fill a school, and whose local situation will best accommodate the children in point of distance. This division is made a matter of record, as all legal votes of the town are recorded, and the records are organized in Courts of Justice.
As towns are empowered to tax themselves in legal meetings, for the repair of roads and bridges, support of the poor, &c. so the small districts are empowered, in legal meetings, (for these also are prescribed by law) to lay a tax on themselves to support the schools. Thus suppose forty families constitute a district; legal notice is given for a meeting; the persons who attend consider what sum or money they are entitled to receive from the treasury, according to their taxable property; they then estimate the whole expense of their school for the season, or term agreed upon with the teacher, and pass a vote to tax themselves to make up the deficiency. This tax is legal, and the collection may be enforced, as well as that of a state-tax. This political machinery of subordinate Corporations subdividing themselves into lesser legal districts, has the appearance of complication; but it is in fact very simple, and attended with most beneficial effects.
The laws of the State define the powers and duties of each corporation—they limit their sphere of action; but they commit to the people themselves such a portion of power in directing, and managing public concerns, as to make every citizen a constituent member of the executive government. This renders the people attentive to every article of government; measures are discussed in town meetings with all the temper of legislative bodies; knowledge is acquired and diffused, and subordination enforced by every active operation of law: the people are made, in a degree, responsible for the exercise of the powers of the government; this converts them from mere wranglers and fault-finders, into cautious and discreet managers of the laws—they are made respectable by the laws, and their direct influence in government makes them generally satisfied with its operations.
I know not how far such a system is practicable in this state; but I feel a degree of confidence in declaring my opinion, that such a plan of organization is the most safe, most feasible, most extensive foundation for a free government ever invented by man. The necessity of acquiring and exercising useful knowledge is interwoven into every part of the political structure.
UNITED STATES. NEW-YORK, January 24.
It is a subject of real regret, with men of enlightened minds and pure independence of character; to see the native Americans the dupes and foot-balls of foreigners. So little do our republican patriots consider the importance of national character and national manners to command national respectability, that it seems to be a point of emulation, especially in large towns to despise every thing of our own, attach ourselves to every thing foreign, divide into clans to suit ourselves to all nations, and in short to be every thing but what we ought to be—Americans.
If a doll comes from England with a little hat, immediately our ladies must
wear little hats—if with a broad one, all must wear broad ones—if a bodiless doll arrives instantly our ladies must turn into the shape of a churn.
If an Englishman arrives with a new fashion, all the town eyes his dress—down comes the cape of a coat, to lay a spindle neck to view; or up goes the cape to cover the ears—away goes buckles or strings and whole boots are shortened to half ones.
If Frenchmen worship red caps and cockades, why half the town must stick a French cockade in their hats, and a red cap must be stuck upon a pole in all public places. And to crown all, people rather than not be like some foreign nation, must actually become jans culottes, & parade about with bare knees.
Were an indifferent people to look round our country, he would suppose us a race of apes on two legs—a people born to act the monkey tricks dictated by foreigners.
These remarks are not aimed at any particular persons; nor are they designed as mere trifling. They are intended as serious hints of great importance to the future welfare and dignity of our country. Some unity of character, some similarity of manners some nationality of sentiment are essential to patriotism, and a respectable independence. Until our countrymen discard their slavish notions, and their apishness of every thing foreign; while they suffer foreigners to engross an improper share of their attachments and to divide them into little parties and factions: they must expect to be little respected, in their private or public character, and frequently insulted at public places. These ideas are pressed on the Americans, as matters of more consequence, than a slight view of the subject would lead them to imagine.
By this servile submission to foreigners, we give them two important advantages over us: One regards our commerce—the other our government. By aping the fashions of a foreign people, we render ourselves doubly tributary to them in our trade. A regular trade exports what we do not want—and imports what we do want or what we think we want. Half our wants are artificial and depend solely on opinion. By being the slaves of foreign fashions, our artificial wants are multiplied in an incalculable degree. Articles we have, are thrown aside at the capricious voice of fashion; and articles we do not want, are purchased. Thus a million of dollars at least are expended annually in purchasing frippery of little or no use, but to feed and enrich other nations, and gratify the whims of our own fancies. We even go farther—we often toil under serious inconveniences in dress and furniture for months together, because we must be like other nations—nations perhaps that hate or despise us.
As government is concerned, our servility is a still more serious evil. We are too apt to take sides in the quarrels of foreign nations—by this means parties spring up in our own country, which grow into violent factions that now actually disturb our public tranquility, and there is some danger, they will throw us into convulsions. The commercial interests of this country are strongly connected with those of Great Britain—to counteract the influence of this connection, the French address themselves to our passions; they inflame our hatred against the pirates of England, and play upon our love of freedom. By these means, they have made a powerful party in our country, who distinguish themselves by their almost delirious zeal for the French Revolution. These parties are more or less visible in every quarter of our country, but especially in our large towns.
Parties, once formed and pitted against each other in politics, rail at each other—each charges the other with unfriendliness to the government or liberties of this country. The passions are inflamed; suspicion and fear are excited, and disturb that confidence which ought to prevail among co-patriots and fellow-citizens: hatred, ill-will and malevolence follow; and Americans, equally patriotic and republican, and equally interested in the welfare of their common country, become open enemies to each other. Thus, instead of uniting in the means of serving our own country, we become the dupes, the tools of foreign nations, quarrelling with each other, at out foreign politics in which we are very little interested. It is thus we are split into factions and intrigued out of our harmony and good fellowship, by the artful emulators of foreign nations.
My countrymen, why will ye not see the means laid for your peace and happiness? Why will you suffer your attachments to any foreign interest to follow your attention among yourselves? Why will you degrade the national character to which you ought to aspire, by becoming the catellites of foreigners? Why will you wear
