people are contented in tholc countries
where no popular murmurings are heard,
he deceives himfelf: their flence is the
Glence of the grave, and they are Glent be-
caufe they have not the power Of Com
planning.
We have been told by the gentleman
before me from Maryland that a virtuous
administration had nothing to fear from
lander and falfehood /; that if things faid
are not true, the faying of them cannot in
jure. Can this, fir, be his deliberate OPT
Mon? Is he juAiiable with his knowledge
of the world in making this alertion!
Docs he not know that virtue does not
form an impenetrable hield againh the ar
row of fander? He mutt know that ca
lumny is too fubtle to be wardcd off by
the mantle Of innocence. He mutt know
that continued defamation will at length
fully the fairet reputation, and throw fsf-
picion on the pureit conduct. l fay the
honorable gentleman mutt know thele
things; he knows it from the experience
Of the world, he knows it alto from his
own experience as a member of the learned
protection. He knows that actions for
ilander are brought and fu1ained in our
tate courts at every term. Would he fay
to a client who had been robbed of the
fairea heritage of man, his good name
whole head had been pillowed with thorns,
and whom foul calumny had fretched on the
bed of torture, would he fay to him, if
you are innocent Of thefe charges they will
not be believed-the innocence Of a mind
cenfcious Of its own reetitude will blunt
and render harmless the arrows of lander
will make them recoil on the calumniator.
No, fir, this would not be his language
nor his conduct, but he would make high
demands of indemnifcation for the injury
done to his conitituent in attempting to
derive him OF his good lame, the lois
OF which makes man poor indeed. know
that fuch would be his courfe of conduct
tor the high value he places on the high
reputation he very deiervedly fufains would
make him purfue this courfe. His vene-
ration for the liberty Of the pres would
not make him tolerate it's li~centioulnefs.
He knows this demands a corrective where
yer they have prefes, but more than any,
where ellie under a government 70 peculiar
~ contributed as ours is, and where if ca
lumnies are unreftrained, they will produce
conyulfions which will not only be %iniuri-
Gus to its PROPERTY, but defructive of its
exihence.
In anfwer to what has been repeatedly
iaid about the difcontents of the people.
| again fay that for myfelfI am not DIFF
Pleaied by the ebulitions Of d~ifcontents
which are occaGonally difplayed in forne
ieetions of our country; for / regard them
as high evidence Of the freedom of nv
country, where any man who is diGatisGed
with any of the acts of the government
may unrefervedly express his ~difapproba-
ton, knowing there is none to make him
afraid if ne employs the language of truth,
or, publihes what he believes to be truth.

Of Europe; they will firmly refif the a.
doption here Of theories, the practice Of
which in other countries, under the i'm

have produced fubverfion and ruin.
Rejecting the confitutionality Of this
law, l will only obferve that our judiciary
land they are the only appropriate judges
of its conRitutionality) have decided, and
repeatedly decided, that it was conti-
~tutional. An honorable gentleman from
Virginia, has told us that a more high and
respectable tribunal, the people, had de-
clared it unconstitutional. Sir, / am not
70 good a%democrat, nor 70 dif6dent of my
ielf, as to have recourfe to the people on
the pai1age Of every law to enquire of
them lift be conRitutional. AS a legina-
tor it is fuficient for me, that with the
bef understanding / can obtain Of the con-
fitutior, | take care 10 to violate it, and
toknow that if through error of judg-
ment, I travel beyond the fphere Of the
contribution, my errors will Immediately
be checked by a mound and barrier which
cannot be overleaped. IF any proceeding
Of the Legislature be unconstitutional, |
have the conlolation of knowing the Judi
ciary will declare it 70; and to the deci-
1ions ofour venerable, and profoundly lear
ned judges, Hook up for information when
ever the con~ftitutionality ofa law is quei}-
toned, and not to the refolutions Of
lar and tunultuous meetings. IF upon
every contitutional doubt, we are to have
r~ecourie to the people, there is an end to
representative government. We have beer
told this law was odious to the people, and
that they had declared their execration of
it: fir, the truth Of this petition feems TO
me Q than problematical; Twill never
Ultimate the fentiments Of the American
people by the opinions expreiIed in fome

OF the whole, | am not to be governed by

PIE throughout the United States were dif-
contented with this law-tlle truth is, FIR,
that in thofe ~ieetions Of our country where
clamors have been RATED againit this law,
every thing is diAiked and every thing is
abuied which emanates from the federal
government.
But Rejecting this law we have evil
dence Of Its not being diniked by the peo-
pie generally. / refer to the calls made
by the legislatures of.Virginia and Ken

Dozvningyfyeet, Sept. Is, 1900.
My Lord,

have the honor to inform your lord
lhip> that, in obedience to his majeny's
commands fgnided to me in your lord
ih'P's letter Of yeGerday, have this morn
ing had conference with M. Otto on the
fnbJea Of the propofed arrniifice between
Great Britain and France.
Having fuggefed to M. Otto whether
it might not tend TO facilitate the diicuf.
iion that we fhould read over the counter
project tranfmittedb by your lordraiptc him
ON the 9TH of this month, and the project
delivered by him on the aft, in anfwer
to It: and that fhould fate to him,
from the initruetions which have receiv-
ed from your lordihip, the objections on
the part of his rnajcity's government to
: the teveral articles Of that project; and
NJ. Otto having acquiefced in this Gug-
geitlon. we purified regularly this courle
Of preceding.
As it.does not appear necelary that
mould enter into any detail Of the CONVEX
fation which took place between US on
thoie parts of the project which M. Otto
conceived that the French governments
would relinquifh, it will be iuAicient for
me to obferve on this part of the iub-
jet
1T. That M. Otto conceived that the
French government wouldsxi IN forning a
regular convention for a5 arnitice have
no OBJECTION to adopting The preamble
in the counter project, inftead of that
which was propoteo in the French project.
IDLY. That concurring in the opinion
that the phraie in the fourth article
{" A2peM q jun, dn Beuefee de Pa,mil-
Hee Continental" might be for the fame
.reafons which applied particular to panages
Of the preamble) liable to contribution Of
fenfive to his majeay's allies, he doubted
not that the French government would
content to omit that phrafe in the fourth
article.
3dly. That he doubted not that the
French government would have no diff
Guilty IN agreeing to omit the concluding
claule of the cd article from the words
+" d'ou ii ys/ulte," to the end.
With reipctt to the claufe in the lait ar
ticle Of the counter project, by which the
duration Of the naval armif3ice is made to
depend on the continuance of the continent
tai armifeice, NJ. Otto conceived that by
allowing the officers commanding the Bril-
tiih forces to commence hoitilities as ioon

| 10 deciiive and peremptory, that / was in
auced to enquire Of him diitinsaly, whe.
ther | was to underitand that this i}inula
ton was point from which the French
government would not recedei M. Or
70 replied, that, in his opinion, the French
|, government would not reccde from it.
On my adverting to the variation intbe
9Th article between the counter. pro;e.ea .na
the French project, by which the latter
fipulates, that French frigates and lmaller
ihips OF war ihould be allowed freely :,
iail from and return to the Ports ofFrance
winch hitherto have been blockaded. M,
Otto remarked, that the motive which
induced the French government to inG{f
on this clauie was the deiire of o,,4n;no
fecure mode of communication beta,een
France and her diRant poAeGions. To
this | replied, that if fuch was the iole
OBJECT which France had in view, It m;olt
De as eheetuily attained by the employ
ment OF unarmed veaels as Of fhips OF war.
M. Otto did,not appear deiirous Of uro;nr
this point much farther, but concluded this
part OF the conversation by expreGing his
conviction, that the French government
would Unfit upon this point, and coniidered
itieH as having gone to the utmoa extent
OF iacr1hce which could with jufice be re.
CURED from it, in conienting that the fhins
OF the line ihould not alter their petition.
With reipeet to that part of the counter
project which reRrains the conveyance bv
by iea of naval or military flores, M. Otto
is OF opinion that the French government
would agree to that reArietion.
1 he 9th article in the French rroica.
although entirely new, was not coni,dere.i
by NJ. Otto as likely to be Unified uron
by his government; but he declined DIV
ing any pohtive opinion 10 thar effect. IN
til he had further time for the coniidera,;
on of its tendency.
NJ. Otto's principal objection to the
form In which the article marked s in tbe
counter projects worded, was founded on
an opinion, that unlels Great Britain and
france aiiuined the right ofincludil,g their
reiPeetiye allies in the naval armif}ice.
without waiting for their expref, concur
renee in it, much delay would neceaariIy
arite, and the two powers Great Britain
a'M france mlgnt be involved in freih
hofilities in coniequence Of either of them
deemlng 1t expedient to attack the alleis
OF the other. He afterwards intinated a
Periuahon, that the article might be a.
