andhe was convinced the great majority Of
his continents would not willingly Zee it
again renewed at the prefent time. He
would yenture,even to go 70 far as to fay,
thar the freedom offpeech and of the prels,
Though carried even to a certain degree OF
licentiouineis, was in general deemed pre-
ferable by them to any thing like an ap-
pearance of reRraint on either. Their
good fenfe might lead them to acquiefce
in, and perhaps even approveof temporary
reftriStions in the moment of impending
danger, but luch restrictions even then
would be unpleafant and diftreGing to the
feelings, and excite all their ~jealoufes
nor would they eafly reconcile themfelves
to any thing Of the kind in peaceful and
common times.
It hadbeen argued that no government
dependedio much upon public opinion, as
our own, and it was consequently ncceHa-
ny to continue thefe reRri6tions at all times
as. a fafe-guard againf INTERPRETATION
and faliehood. He could not, however,
acquiefce in this conclufion: during the
eight years of the administration Of thar
great man, who bore 70 conipicuous a part
In forming and carrying into operation the
preient contribution, as well as during the
two hrf years of the prefent adminilrati-
on, the government had progrefed and
~Profpered, without the aid ofany fuch law.
And if the cri1is of the moment had two
years fince called forth an expedient ofthis
kind, it was now at an end, and he faw
no reafon why we fhould not allow things
TO revert into their ancient channel. He
was willing, indeed, to admit that fome
Inconvenience, Gome mifchiefs even did
o~ccafonally arife from the unprincipled
and unbridled licentioulnels of the prefs.
He had but too many occafons to
verify, and but too much reafon to
lament the truth Of this fact. In the
prelsnt political fate Of fociety however,
thefe evils, he was inclined to believe,
were far more than comaterbalanced by the
advantages, which we reaped from the en-
tire freedom of ipeech and OF the prefs. He
was content, therefore to take the good
with its concomitant evil. And 70 nice
and delicate were the hades Of difineaion
between the liccntiouinefs of the prels and
a neceGary freedom ofdifcunion, that it was
upon the whole better perhaps in times
like the prefent-when the thing would
probably work It's own cure-to leave the
meafures Of goyernment and its adminiffra-
ton entirely open to inyeitigation and ami
madyerhon, without attempting to reprefs
the cxcentricities and cxurherance Of pub
lie difcunion by even ain ideal reRraiat.
MIR. IA. begged leave to make one other
obfervation before he fat down. 1t was
eyidentt to all that a change of men was
about to take place. 1t was equally well
known, that thoie, who were about to en-
ter into the administration ofthe govern
ment, had on all occafions declared them
clves openly and unequivocally hottie to
the principle of this act. 1t was no doubt
honorable in thofe gentlemen, who had
heretofore fupported this meafure, to thew

MIR. Harper laid on the table a refoluti-
on for perpetuating the bill which advanc-
ed the falaries Of feveral Of the officers of
government, which was before limited to
three years duration.
MIR. R~utlcdge laid on the table a refo-
luton for entertaining a mode of conduct
ing the election for PRECEDENT of the Unit
ed States, redicated upon the fuppoftion,
that the votes given by the electors were.
equal for the two higheft candidates.
The houfe went into committee on the
bill to incorporate the Schuylkill Copper
Mine Company. MI. Harper in the chair.
During the debate on this bill which
took up the whole ftting) a.perfon in the
gallery, who appeared to be intoxicated,
fpoke aloud to a member in a few words.
Whercupon Mr.. Harper ordered him into
cufody of the fargeant, and ordered the
gallery to be. cleared.
Before the riing of the hoaie, the fpeak-
er informed the houfe that the offender
was yet in cufody. Motion was made
by MIR. Bayard to dlcharge him-he was

The committee TO whom were referred

make the following report:
1t is conceived that it may be affirmed
as one of the mott indifputable maxims Of
American policy, that no change in the
contribution Of the United States be ad-
mitted, without a well grounded aTurance
of the attainment offome greater good un-
der the propofed change, than under the
exiting provifions Of the contribution.
In. relation to the, object Of the Grft Of
the aforefaid refolutions, the exiting pro-
viions of the contribution Of the United
States are in the following terms
