"WEDNESDAY January II.

WEDNESDAY January II.
Sc u TITO N L A w.
H0xIe in eoumatee, Mr.. Morris in fbesbair.
The refolution reported by the commit
tee was, that it would be expedient to re-
new the law in addition to the act for the
puniihment of certain crimes againR the
United States.
Mr.. Plat, chairman Of the committee,
explained the reaions Of the committee in
a refofution forts continuation. The on
ly arguments that could be adduced to that
report, becauie the only ores here tofore
Prefented, were as to the confitutionaIity
and as to the expediency of the meafure.
That it was conftitutionally, he con-
tended could be well and plainly proved,
without entering into the queRion upon
the grounds and proofs exhibited at the
period of the original pafage of the bill,
from the deciGon in its favor, after a
lengthy examination in both honies of con-
grefs, and It's adoption into a law. Added
to this was. the folemn .deciGon and concur
renee of the judiciary, and the repeated de-
cifons of the courts and juries. After
thefe deliberate deciiions in favor of it, to
doubt the confitutionality of this law,
would be abfurd. To thole who took
every location to thew their oppoiition to
the government, and were accufomed to
Willy the conduct Of its warmef adherents
indeed this law mutt become hated, but
thofc who confdered a good government a
bleAing, and worthy the protection of a
free people, mua approve Of the provifions
of this law, as the mott valuable ofinfitu4
tions in its fupport.
AS to the ~expediency Of the meafure,
the committee thought it was a wholelome
and ameliorating interpreter of the COM
mon law, efablihed to -afif the govern
ment upon the mott fair and equitable prin-
ciples. On the one hand, the right Of
the government in fupport Of itlelf, is eef-
tablifhed; on the other, that right Of pro-
,teciion is 10 eRablihed, as not to %iniure,
in the leaf, the honee and well-intending
individual, but to afford him a means of
e~xculpating himfclf, although engaged in
fcrutinizing the meafures of the-adminiAra-
ton Of that government; for unleEs it
car be made to appear evidently to a court
and Jury that the thing written was done
with a ELs and malicious intention, the
~.precaution is %ufelefs.
He faw nothing ia this law, rotwith-
ftanding all which had been faid about it,
which an honeh man ought to fear. No
government in the world demanded the
public confidence more than ours, when
we'll administered and houd fuch a gov
eminent be brought into popular difrepute
with IMMUNITY, through the falfe and ma
,licious writings Of thofe who peaceably en-
joy its refulgence! He 'trufted not.
The houfe had bsen told on a former oc-
cation, that the fun Of tederaliim was a-
Alexandria advertiser and commercial intelligencer. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1800-1803, 1801-01-28

tration bad, would naturally oprofe tn.
law. A plain deduction. MIR. Davis
thought, was, that thoie who thsupht.
and knew the government to be bad.
would lay their hands on the mouths
and pens OF the people, and not fuf;er it TO
be fitted, left the people. f,ould dif-
cover 1T to be evil if, therefore,. the
gentleman thought the administration bad.
1t was no yonder- he hould attempt to
prevent Its expofure to pepalar contempt.
On the contrary, thofe who thought the
government a hlcting to the people.
ought to promote its in~yeRigation, that
a true etlmation might@be made of its in
triniic worth. For this cauie gentlemen
ought to prevent the re-enadion. of this
law, 70 oppofed to inveaigation into the
conduct of our public officers.
But that the2law was not 70 immaculate
as Its admirers profeAed, he would only
refer gentlemen to the profecutions OF
newspaper editors, &c. under it, and to
the very numerous petitions which, previ-
Gus to lis patiing, and when It's repeat was
prayed for, crowded the clerks table.
And when gentlemen determined yet more
to ALLEVIATE the affections of the people from
their government ! He believed in this way
it had already done immenfe evil, and that
evil would vafly ~increafe by its renewal.
BUT. he believed alto that it had done much
good /: he believed the. effect of this bur-
theniome &irkfome meat ure had ONO
ed the change In public opinion whichhad
lately evinced itfelflo universally. A furs
proof that themore encouragement the go
rnlne gives to- free inveaigation, the
more it will merit and obtain the cfeem
and fupport of the people.
The gentleman believe there would be
a new order of things !; he believed 70 too
he believed the old writing would be burnt
up, IA laugh, on account of the recent
fires in the departments of the g~ovcrnment)
and that we hould begin anew; a new
order ofthings WIS highly deGrable, and
iuch an one he believed and trufed it would
be as no man need to fear. But why did
the gentleman hrink fromthis examination
into the conduct Of public menl What
could appear 70 unfit Cor developements
Truth was iaid, by the proviGons of
the bill, to be the fate path. 1t was
rot becaufe he feared the consequences
that he wifhed to repeal the law. He
knew that the evidence Of truth would
operate to clear the accuied, if innocent,
and he was not afraid, becauGe he beliey.
ed there was not the leaR necefity for
travelling beyond the bounds of friet truth
to thew the badnefs of the administration.
There certainly was fuficient ground with
in thole bounds for all the a~nimadverfons
OF its mott inveterate enemies. No man
could with to fay more than the truth TO
expole the meafures of the government to
contempt, andshe believed truth had pro-
duced Its effect upon ~thepsople.
IA to the ~expediepcy Of the law, he
would farther FAY that fhe could pofibly
perceive any good effects having been pro-
Alexandria advertiser and commercial intelligencer. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1800-1803, 1801-01-28

bout to fet; he .sconfeGM that he viewed
with horror ti1e.aSsMn night thar would fol
low. But notwithstanding that, Whit
ne Pohehed a feat in that houfe, he tho't
nlrntelt bound to leginate in favor of mea-
lures to iupPort the government which the
people had honored by their choice. This
reverie of things fhould never drive him
from meaiures which it became his dutv
upon the mott iolemn conviction to adopt,
tince no injury could refult but to thofc
whofe wilful and habituai lander oppofed
1T by talfhoods. For his part he was not
afraid OF the new order of things: he had
nothing to fear from the exiitence of THIS
law.
To thofe who believed the rules of
common law Of force, and in effect in the
United States, this law mutt be truly
gratifying. By the common law two
practices were eltablihed, which this act
mott effeeually removed by its ameliorat-
Ing proviions. Firf, he obferved, the
common law rejected the evidence of truth
in cafes of libels. The. fecond thing he
mentioned was, that the court had an un-
limited authority to afcertain and Judge
Of the penalty. BY this law the truth
mutt be given in evidence, and the penalty
is afcertained. He trutted that whilt the
liberty of fpeech and of the prefs Ia privi-
lege to be priced above all others) were
made fecure the houfe would fee the pro-
priety of preventing the unlimited and a.
bandoned abule of this blefing, 10 %injuri-
Gus to the prefervation of focal order:
an abufe which was to be judged of in
its extent by an impartial jury--a privi-
lege by which are fecured to every indivi-
dual and to the government equal rights.
Upon thefe principles he mutt ever con-
tend for the propriety of a meafure at once
fecure to the government and to the
we'll deigning citizen.
MI. Davis was oPpofed to the law
from a view Of the injurious ufe that had
been made Of it. Ee defred any gentle
man to produce fuch a fcenc of abufe
under a power committed TO the hands
of a government as had difplayed itielf
in this country under the law in qucAion.
Even Great Britain itfelf, where the 60
vernment had been 10 lavifh of its proie-
c%utiops, could not produce intancesw where
a man had been called to his trial, altho'
he pleaded himfelf to be unprepared for
his defence, through a deficiency Of wit
nenes which he Gated it to be in his power
to obtain, upon time being allowed, the
trial was ordered to proceed, and the
perfon convicted and judgment paAed up
On him. Ofcondua ike this, initances
had occurred in America! How then could
the gentleman pretend to call this the TO-
Tenn decifon of courts and ~juriess If he
d~cnominated hat 4 folemn trial, he could
think it no diigrace to differ from him:
he thought himfelf bound by the rules
Of propriety 70 to do: it certainly was not
a folemn trial.
The gentleman faid thofe who oppofed
the government, and thought its adminif.
