CongreG Of the United States.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
SATURDAY, February 20.

SATURDAY, February 20.
An engro1ied bill to amend and CONT
nue. In force the act eftablilhing an uniform
iyitem of bankruptcy throughout the
United States, was read.
Mr.. Spaight moved to recommit the
laf fiction OF the bill, with view of frik-
ing it out. The principle of the laft fec
ton was repeating clauie to the limitation
Of the preient bankrupt law to FIVE years
continuance, and providing that both the
laws ihould continue without limitation of
time.
MIR. Harper hoped the limitation would
not continue. The object of all limitati-
ons to law, he faid, was either to try ex-
pertinent upon them, Or related to fuch
laws as were in their own nature Temporal
ry. He contended that the experiment
upon this law had been tried during the
year in which it had exiAed. He believed
it had obtained much appreciation, and be-
came. a valuable fyftem to commercial men.
OF all laws none carried more evidence of
the necehity OF pcrpetuity, than laws re-
ipetting property, and refpeeing the adj
miniltration of juitice, Of both which fpe-
cie' this was ore. Another and very
material argument in favor of its continu
ance, was the very nature of the law itfelf,
which would 70 entwine and connect its
proviGons into the commercial concerns of
men, that it would be a1molt impoAible to
repeal it at the end Of FIVE years. He
wiihed not to entruf the fyfem at that
time to merely one branch Of the legina-
ture: fits inconvenience and evils fhould
become evident, there could be no doubt
of the concurrence of both branches at
any time to repeal it.
MIR. Nicholas contended that this law.
which had not been twelve months in ex-
ihcnce, could not, from its nature, have
had very extcnhve or known effect. He
knew of no change of circumstances which
could juaify the reicinding Of the limiting
provi1ion. He acknowledged that it was
an experiment, but he knew alto that the
experiment had not been tried. Nothing
but the limitation could have paned the
bill at all. He.hoped it would be limit
ed.
Mr.. Livingston mentioned another rea-
fon for its limitation-T That it was paHed
by the very fame houfe and by the very
fame men, who, it was now propofed,
ihould alter this principle which had been
of 70 little fervice. That it would inter-
weave itfelf in all our commercial concerns
by the end Of five years, he acknowledged
but that inconvenience would be nothing
compared with the disadvantages of both
branches concurring in its repeal. To
take this new and very important fyitem,
which he acknowledged he approved of,
and to make it perpetual before it was
tried, was evidently unfair and improper.

amend the act refpeeting perfons efcaping;
from the iervice of their matters, &c.
MIR. Grifwold moved to difcharpe the
committee of the whole from the turthers
confederation of the bill, for the purpoie
OF poltPoning it. The reafons he urged
were grounded on the fhort time the houfe
could exit, and on the certainty that both
the principle and the detail of the bill
would be debated.
Mr.. Nicholfon hoped this crying evil,
OF ilaves efcaping from their matters, and
being harbored or employed (knowinelv)
would be immediately prevented, othc--
wife ne feared consequences, (which gen.
tlemen were not aware, would follow, for
he would not be furprifed if fpecies Of
warfare was to fucceed from their numbe,SsS
and influence upon perions in lavery. N
MIR. Otis hoped the fubied would be
difcufled, and the evils corrected, of which
the holders Of this fpecies of property 20
jualy complained. He wifhed, as the 90
vernment had fanttioned, and profeRedly
Imported certain part Of our country to
ule means for the prefervation of their
property, that the aid of the government
would continue to be afforded to them for
that puTpoie. He was certain, however.
that the injury fufained by the matters, in
lotlng their laves, was not greater than
that iuftained by thofe on whom they put
themlelves for employ and protection. He
referred to the nuifance fuaained by the re-
tuge Of thofe people in Bottom, where
they had ielzed on and kept poAef1ion OF
a part Of the town, from which it was
inpoliible to diiponefs them, and which
was become the theatre of every kind of
diforder.
MIR. Harper hoped it would be taken
up. He believed there would be Efficient
time to go through it, if gentlemen would
have,patience to take up buinefs regularly.
On the prefervation of this property, he
believed very much depended, the prolpe-
rlty and fecurity of ,h.le nates, which
the recent occurrences in neighborine
fate fully evinced.
he motion to pofpone and the motion
to take up the bill, were both withdrawn
Tor the preient. After the difpatch Of
three or four fmall bills, it was taken up
and its detail debated. Several amend.
ments were propoied, upon which it was
moved that the committee fhould rife, re-
port .progrefs, and ak leave to fit again,
but 1t was negatived, Al, to 50. New OBJ
Jeetions ard new difficulties again prefented
tilemielves, and the motion was renewed
and carried,
Motion was made, that when the houfe
adjourn 1t adjourn till tomorrow, This
was negatived.
Mr. Nicholas made a report from the
committe to whom it was referred, to ex-
anime into the caufe OF the recent fires in
the public Offices, which contained a num-
Der OF depoftions relative thereto, and
was ordered to be printed. Report was
alto made from the committee TO whom
were referred the remembrance from the

There would no doubt be Joint concur
renee TO continue the bill after it had been
well tried and amended, according to the
experience which five years mutt give it.
1t was at preient impoiiible to know what
would be its operation.
Mr.. Hill aid, when this bill pafled he
voted in the negative; he did 70 becaufe
ne believed its operation would be injurious
in the fate he belonged to. He was not
yet convinced of its effects upon the traders
of that fate, IN. Carolina and therefore
ihould vote for the motion.
MIR. S. Smith laid no gentleman on the
floor could more approve of a bankrupt
fyitem than l.ilnlelf, but he w;nled it to be
as perfect as poAible. From the amend
ments which the experience of its effects
had already fuggeaed, and from what was
to be expected in the courfe of four years
more, he anticipated, at that time, more
general concurrence in what would then
doubtless be good fyilem, than it had at
the time of its paning, or could be expect
ed to have now.
The motion to recornmit paned as fol-
lows:

BY Capt. Bargels, who arrived here on
Saturday from Cape Francois, We have re-
eeiysd 4 pamphlet containing the 6rR laws
ftbe Colony of St. Domingo, made un-
d.r the new Contribution. The laws are
mopoled by the governo (Tounaint Lou
yerture) and enacted by the Aflembly.--
The frf law divides the illand into de-
carsnents, Military diltritts, and Pariihes.
The Departments are fix, one of which
bears the name of Loxvertu,r, the capt.
.tal of which is Gonaiyes. Another law
reaores the Roman Catholic Religion, and
confequently, the obCerva,ion OF the Sab
bath as day of ref and religious wor-
ihip: the decade days are therefore no
longer regarded. Other laws organize
their courts, regulate the Police, the f.
nances, e&abliih militia which includes
all from "a to S. years of age, prohibit
for ever the return of fuch emigrants as
Mall be dednitiyeiy born on the Lift ofe-
migrants in France, and conffcate their
efates, deGgnate provifonaily Port Re-
publican tor the ordinary reiidence OF the
GO, ernor and the FELTON, of the Afembly,
&c. &c. &c.
Mr.. Lear Coaiul of the United States,
INFORMED capt. B. that the amount of re-
venue at Cape Francois in lefs thar three
months amounted to geo, 700 dollars.
The Import and export, duties are very bur
Edeniome, amounting to nearly one third
the whole cargo and Teuhaint, in an
|wer to remooitranccs on this head ,obferves
that he finds no necehity for lei1ening the
duties, as they do not prevent full fupply
pf every article they want. Mr.. Lear,
however, expected that he ihonld be able
10 obtain diminution of the duties on
exports.
MIR. Lear fpeaks favourable of the fate
pf things in 81. Domingo. He obleryes,
chat lndufry is encouraged, that commerce
Is ailum'ng more regular courie, that
the beft diipoiition exits towards the A.
lnericans, and that perfons and property en-.
10y perfect fecurity under the prelent go
gernment.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IA.

olnce there is 70 much faid, and that
not without reafon, about the late viola
tions OF the Contribution, itmay not be
am'is to offer thought or two on the
contributions of Government in general.
In my opinion, too much dependence
mas been placed on them, and their utili-
~ has been too highly rated. They
ought never to confift gilmore than iome
general principles, according to which the
Government fhould be organized. 1t is
imPodible, by particular clauies, to pro-
woe tor every exigency, and, by any de-
Carnations, TO prevent the mifconfruetions
and encroachments of ambitious and de-
i'gnlng men. While people continue
virtaous, they will be free and happy !:
when they become generally corrupt, they
Will not retain their freedom, whatever
may be the original Contribution of their
government. If the People. in the ex-
erclie OF their right Of election, commit
the management of their affairs to weak
or wicked men, no bill of Rights, no writ
ten form of Government will preferve
their Liberties, What was intended as a
iafeguard becomes the means OF their de
itfuetlon. Some ambiguous expeditions in
the Contribution, or fome apparent necef
iity, or Tome Pretence of the public good,
is feized and made the occaGon of mea-
fures which prove finally ruinous.
Gan their be any words more plain. and
which more precifely convey an idea than
thete in the Contribution of the u. S,,t.s,
(" The Prefident fhalI have power 70 81,
up all vacancies that may happen during
the recefs ofthe Senate If thefe words
are confirmed to mean, that the Prefident
may make vacancies of his mere pleafure.
no part of the Contribution is iafe, and il
is wcrle than nothing. 1t is impof1ible to
conceive of a contribution more abfurd.
more daring, and more alarming than
this.
Is it faid, that the frft Congress deter
mined the right to remove from Office TO
exit in the Executive alone What is this
to the purpofe The Congrefs neither de.
termined, nor could they, that the Pref
dent alone had a right to appoint. The
Contribution expressly requires /" the adj
vice and content of the Senate" The
meaning ofthe Congress, beyond all con-
troveriy, was, that the Prefdent, in eve.
ry urgent cafe which nigh, happen, fuch
as inability or delinquency, might re-
move, and FIJI up the place until the next
meeting of the Senate. I venture to pro-
nounce that no one meant that the Pref
Gdent might wait for recef, of the Sc
nate, and then fweep away the old officers
for no reafon but his own whim and ca :
price or thought that any msp would be
found in this country 70 daring AID fhame-
leE. ~ So.
The power given to the Presden, J.. 4
the Contribution, is 50 the powtr to In y
all vacancies that me, happen during the -
refs of the Senate COpgeis by ,b.;,
