~ " 'Ilo tyger the properties of
Ihe ihark, and there is no longer
iatety for the BEATS of1he foreR or
the hfhes Of the f-a. Where was
this high anti-Britanuic fpirit of the
gentleman from PennfyIvama, when
his vote would put an end to the
bntlih treaty, that petilent fource of
evil to this country ? and at a time
tos, when it was not lefs the intereit
than the ientimcnt Of this people to
pull down Great Britain and exaIt
France. Then, when the gentle
man might have acted with effect
ne could net Gcrew his courage to
the Ticking place, Then England
was combined in what has proved
feeble, Inefficient coalition, but
which gave jutt caule Of alarm to E
very friend Of freedom-Now the
Liberties of the human race are threa-
tened BY Gngle power, more for
midable than the coalefced world, 0
Whole utmot ambition, vait as it is,
the naval force of Great Britain
forms the only obfaclc.
/ am perfectly fenGb,e and afha-
med of the trefpafs | am making on
the patience Of the committee-but
as | know not whether it will be in
my power to trouble them again on
this fubje6t, | NUT beg leave to con-
tinue my crude and defultory OFFER
vations. | am not afhamed to con-
fels that they are 70.
AT The commencement Of this fer-
Gon we received a printed mehage
from the PreGdent Of the United
States, breathing a great deal Of ma
tional honor and indignational honor
at the outrage we had endured, par
ticularly from Spain. She was fpe-
cially named and pointed at. She
had Pirated upon your commerce,
imPrifoned your citizens, violated
your neutral territory; invaded the
very limits folemnly e(abIiihed be.
tween the two nations, BY the treaty
of Lorenzo. Some Of the tate le-
giflatures, (among Others the very
fate Of which the gentleman from
Pennsylvania relies for fupport) J fent
forward refolutioas pledging their
dives, their fortunes, and their Gacred
honor, in fuPport Of any meafures
you might take ii vindication Of
your injured rights. Well, FIR, what
have you done ?-gone to some ex-
pence Of printing and na,ionary-
mere pen, ink and paper, and that's
laE. Like true political quackS, you
deal only in handbills and nofrums.
Sir, | bIuih to fee the record Of our
proceedings, they relembIe nothing
but the advertisements Of pa ent me-
dicines. Here you have "theWorm
DeitroyingLozenges, there, Churoh's
Cough Drops" and 70 crown the

diiorders and vertigoes Of brain Gck

a fair trial. Ifindeed theie wonder
. working nof}runrS could perform but
one half Of what they promiie, there
is little danger Of our dying poll,
tical death, tthis time at l5a9. But
Sir, in politics as in Phyllc, the

But, SIR, Why do talk Of Spain ?
There are no longer Pyrinees. There
exits no fuch nation no fuch being
as a ipanifh Kiog, OF minilters.
It Is a mere juggle played off for the
benefit Of thole who put mechaRifn
into motion. You know, sir, that
YOU have no differences with Spain,
that ihe is the pahlye tool OF tu-
perior power, to whom at this mo-
ment you are crouching. Are your
differences indeed wiJh Spain &? And
vi ere are YOU going to iend your po-
lirical Panacea, refO!utions and hasd-
