The houfe then refolved itfelf into COM
mittee on the bill, Mr.. Rutlcdge in the

the frf fiction. MIR. Dennis enquired the
resfons for this motion.
Mr.Smilie faid he would willingly give
the reafons which prompted him to make
the motion, and he hoped the gentleman
would asfreely make his reply fit could
be proved to him that the rights Of theic
people could be referved by the paAage of
the bill, it would give him very much plea

wifhed odeftroy the bill. Itcould not be
denied but that the people Of this diRria

wcre preci{Ul5 in the fame fituation al pre-
fcnt which they alwayshad been, and iub-
Jet to the fame laws, but would it be 70
when the government once accepted the
ceilion !! 1t would not. Nota man in the
diftria would be Represented in the 60
vernment, whereas every man who contri-
bnsed to the fupport ota governments, ought
to be reprelented in it, otherwile his natu-
raj rights were fubverted, and he left,
not citizen, but a lubjea. This was one
right the billdeprived theie..people Of, and
he had always been taught to believe it was
very ferrous and important one. 1t was
a right which the country, when under
fubjeetion to Great Britain, Thought worth
making refolute truggle for and de-
termination to perth rather than not en-
joy.
Another, and an important right Of
which thefe people were about to be de-
priyed was that their judges and their 60
vernon were not to be the choif of them
felyes, but Of the PRECEDENT. The privi-
lege Of local Legislature might be given
to the people, but ofwhat avail could they
be if the governor appointed dy the pref
dent could deprive them Of every act they
might make by his negative? Where
was their fecurity if the acts Of thcfe re-
preientatives of the people could be to-
morrow revoked by power deriving au-
thority from cliewhere? Much as gentle
men might talk about dignity of govern
mcnt, nothing, he thought, would more
comport with true dignity than human Il
berty, and without it dignity Of govern
ment was not worth name. It furely
mut be difagreeable for the government
to be in the midi Of people who are de-
Prived of their rights, and what inlccurity
there ever had been or ever would be to the
COVE nneat from its refdence under the
laws ct the itates, he could not conceive
re had never known Of any. If he could
be convinced that the people'would not be
deprived of thele rights among others, he
would agree to fome fuch bill as this.
MIR. Dennis acknowledged that had he
the fame impreilions as the gentleman juit
fat down, he would hefitate for moment
to believe that liberty had been forced to
yield to reign Of abfolute Davery. But
from confederation of the intereG. of the
people, Of the dignity Of the government,
and of the feat of the congrels, together
with the reflections of the gentleman juft
fat down, he felt himfelf called upon to
make fome obferyations by way of an
fwer.
gAs to the intcrefs Of the people, could
i for moment be doubted that local
government, a Judiciary and Legislature
would be highly advantageous Could
any man doubt but it would be more con-
venient and advantageous for the inhab;-
tants to attend the courts in this place,
than to be taken away to Richmond or
to Annapolis! 1t had been always an ap-
proved privilege that juRice fhould be
brought home TO every mans door, and
no where could it be more 70 than by the

ton and circumstances.
1t had been faid that thefe people wer:
happy, Mr.. Dennis admitted it, but 4
change Of circumstances made an ineyita-
difference, and required different mode
Of legislating. This diltrif Of the gene
raj government, being apart oftwoi|ates,
mutt require an alteration from its former
government. Surely the organization of
local body mutt be more advantageous
than any notifications which could be
made by thofe two Legislatures. So fer
from rule Of defpotifm then being over
the people, he thought the paning Of
this bill would much increafe their prof
perity. It was (aid that by the ASSUMPTION
ofthe jurifdiaon, thefe people would b:
