the prayer of their petition is, that measures may be taken by has

example of this, the after an that Mara= and obetinaet,
which prevented her recognising the States of Holland, Spelt was

mention this with poi—with pain for that fully, that intituotio-,
which led to hostilities between us and theta, and to that stole:. t
breach which I think might have biro healed in a 1111111$1:1 very
diferent from what it was. Those recognitions were a renuncia-
tion of the sovereignty of the Parent State over the Colony —they
delivered the New Staten from all data at variance pith their ni.
dependence, sad left them in 'the most inylobileauaredstiejet -
pendence.` Recognition 'in the other 'sense was ;
for there ate no claims to Teresina—no power to alvdoete—ho
sovereignty to resign, and no A.*ms to cooler ; and ,those States,
and thi States 4 South America, are fully as indepetwlen4 its if
they had our formal recognition. Then the practical wiadoin wOuld
be, to treat them as well as the Parent States, as if we Ina dat-
ing with ancient Governments, already admitted into the peat so-
ciety of nation.: Such a recognition on oar part, confe-s
on these States no legal rights—it forms no alliance- it
leaves no guarantee —it intends no approbation of the Diens
by which those States obtained their independence; in psr,v;
of fact, we have no right to say a word on that 'object ; we 1141 f,
no right to say either yea or nay ; we have only tO interfere Or
the maintenance of our own rights, and not for any ratilie.ttio.i
of revolt ; we are not to Lay that what efts done was either strung

tions are given, why these ob:ervat ions may be tuix.ed against me in
another part of my argument; but I should notilweil on those points
