The motion was ieconded & advocated by
M:GD. Morisr. Jarvt, Aa,fia, Baniuf, Chan.
der. SPragae, & Wofon and oppo!ed by MsG
Lesra,S. Bigrlorv, Ives. & Pnkmen. 1t was ur
ged by thofe in the oppoh,ion, that Mr.. JeffeT-
fon was an enemy to the fyacm of Wilmington !;
and number 0! mcafures which have been the
topics Of new fpaper cenfure, were par,icularized
as fubjeet' fufficicnt 10 withhold confidence from
him. The principal were, the Withholding the
commifion Of Ray Green as ditritt judge for
Rhode-lnand difrid, which was repIefented as
unconstitutional; the appointment of Mr.. Gal
latin as Secretary Of the Treafury, in preference
TO a native American; the repair of the B:rceau,
upon which large fun OF money had been cx-
pended by his order without legi0aiive author
ity; his accommodation f,s &c abolition Of in.
ternal taxes, which was repreientcd as operating
unrqually upon the Northern altes, and for the
,eviion OF the judiciary and naturalization laws,
&c. In anfwer TO tlefe objections, il was oh.
fetved. thar to pretend TO oppofe the name and
the principle Of Wilmington to tina, of Jefferfon,
was unauthorized by facts and uojoai6able in
praaice. Ii ~ss noticed that from the frlt in.
aance OF both upon the kage of public life, their
views had generally been uniform and harmoni-
ous, and their friendlbip fscred and inviolable.
That upon the elevation Of General Waihingfos
TO the Proficiency, the fra Object Of his choice
for the Era Office Of trua and confidence was Mr..
Jeferfon. That he continued to dichargc the
duties of his Office, during period difficult and
cnbarrsfIiog, TO the high fatisfstlion Of General
Warrington, and thar ben be retired iherefron.
it was with the unqualified applaole Of his en-.
ployer, and nnfeigned tribute OF his regret.
Ia the cai. Of Ray Green il vas fated. and
offered to be proved by documents on the floor.
that the appointment Of Mr.. Green had beer
made under circumeances which the coniitu,ior
did not admit. and ~~ therefore 1sid.
TIE idea that Mr. GaIIalm was foreigner
