which were not likely to be of a mild nature; lie

Nut one word was uttered upon the propriety or af-

about lending a merciful mud indulgent PA 10 the

possible to give it his concurrence.—( ilear, hear.)

regard to the external lelations on which the „and

because tl.e Executive Power of this country
continued to receive from Foreign Pursers the assu-
rance of their amicable disposition—even upon this
point be, perhaps, did not feel a confidence sir great
as was ruteitaiiied by others. But upon this sub-
ject he should not now enter, while more important
matter demanded immediate consideration. Our
internal situatiou must be our pr'.mary object, and
to that alone lie should address himself. He had
already stated that he had no desire to undervalue
the extent of .the present (longer. When general
. discontent prevailed sarong a large portion of the
people—when they were seen to lose all confidence
in the Government which ought to protect them,
and in those political isistitutions in which hitherto
they had placed their proudest boast and glory, the
danger most indeed be great.—(Hear, hear.)--
But the causes to which this was to be attributed
ought to be the first object of their inquiry ; and
that these causes were to he traced, be entertained
root 51w remotest doubt, to a system of inapolicy on
the part of the Governinetit, who, either blindly
' *hutting their eyes, or wilfully refusing to see, de-
trounced every measure which was best calculated
to promote the general welfare.—(Hear, hear.)
To one part of the Address he catild slot refuse
his most ready assent ; and lie believed he might
with, confidence affirm. that he was speaking the
unanimous opinion of the House, when he spoke of
the riecessity of res4ting, by every means, the dan-
gerous i 4444 ovations, and of opposing the designs of
those who endeavoured to lead the people to their
destruction.—(lleur, hear, front all parts ty' the
House.)—But while he stated this determinatiou to
oppose all schemes dangerous to the State, whether
proceeding from igourance or from overheated iron-
winnow's, or troth the wicked ambition of persons
who sought distinction by the extent of the ruin
they produced—while to all these he would suppose
the most uncompromising resistance, they should
take care not to incur a far greater danger, sior suffer
the Constitution riself to be exposed to peril.—
The Noble seconder apposite exhorted the House
to resist tile machisiatione of the seditious by new
laws. rind thereby preserve she safety of the State.
But it was impossible to distinguish between the
liberty of the prairie and the safety of the State.
Out could not exist without the other, and if the
safety of the State was to be sought solely by en-
delivering the liberty sof the people, they would
sadly mistake both the means mid the end which
they hid in view, mid increase the danger against
which they purposed to provide.—( Hear, hear.).—
Parlisairat ought to be careful that while they sup-
ported the due prerogatives of the Crown. not at
the same time to establish • power destructive of
the liberties of the people.—( Hear, hear.)—The
experience of history had shewn to them the danger
of introduenig into this country s foreign power,
under pretence of supporting the rights of the peo-
ple. for the 0/111 of safety woe perverted into the
engine of destruction, mod with the same caution
ought they to regard the extension of asi authority
to the. Crown, which might, when the present
danger lied passed, be exercised for the worst and
most oppressive purpoors.—(Heir.)
