;the consideration of the resolution, because het
‘,._ reject with that indignity which it deserved, I
abstract proposition at this time to remove the
ibargo ; and because he thought a prompt rejec-
t would mark to the foreign world the temper of
1 country. He suggested, since it was to be dis-
od, that the discussion should be postponed a
ale, till time was given to digest the 'voluminous
oof documents laud before them ; for in these do-
jots were contained the best arguments in favour
f the Embargo.
mr, EPPES was willing to vote in favour of the
munitment of the motion ; but did not wish the de-
lon under which some portiorr of the people of the
united States laboured should longer continue. He
wished them to understand what course would be
~,,,,aesd. If, said he, it be the opinion of the Re.
r".- tatives of the Nation that the Embargo should
raenieu off, and no other measure substituted, the
.iiority governs in a Republic, and I should wish
-- Good citizen to submit to its decision ; but I
d ever feel for the eternal disgrace of that nation
~ which I should then feel it a misfortune to be a
ber. As it is my opinion that should the embargo
• raised, other measures ought to be adopted, whe-
I meet with the support of the House or not, I
1 at least evince to the people, whose representative
am, that I will not submit to British or French ty-
, y, but hand down to their posterity, unimpaired,
r liberty which their forefathers so nobly achieved.
mr. Epees then proposed the following resolutiOns,
an amendment to Mr. Chittenden's motion :
~ Resolved, :chat from and after the day of • next
iritetcoarse between the United States and Great Britain, its
isbasami dependencies, ought to cease and determine.
s gashed, That front and after the day of next,
intercourse between the United States and France, its islands
(*tendencies, ought to cease and determine.
0 Resolved, 1 hat provision ought to be 'made by law for arm-
and equipping for immediate service thousand militia,
addition to the force already Authorised by law."
The SPEAKER informed Mr. EPPES that these could
, be received while another motion was pending ;
d Mr. EPpEs withdrew them for the present.
Messrs. BLACKLEDGEI CLOPTON, and G. W. CAMP-
, declared themselves positively opposed to the
ion in its present abstract form. We have not
to detail their observations. They were, how-
, of-the same tenor as those of Messrs. Ssiu.ix,
trove, and Ems.
Messrs. Coox and Currs spoke irr favour of an im.
,ediate consideration of the subject. from its im—por-
ee to the mercantile interest.
'Mae-solution was then made the Order of the
It 1 far Monday next ; a motion for the postpone;
meattM Monday week having been negatived.
