20 saw something. He was one Of those
who have been marked and branded, and are
suspected of being minority men---I allude
Darticularly to a worthy friend of mine. now
no longer member Of this House. Mr.. ID.
r.. Williams,) than whom, believe. there
is not a more honest man breathing, who
was not only minority man. but. worse than
all that, s.One Of the Professors" and whose
speech was very muchsrelied OF as the best
speech made in favor of the war party. Sir,
YOU recollect that, that gentleman declared
his disposition. together with my friend who
sits before me, of clinging to the embargo,
and that was the great point Of difference
.betweemus; and as to the gentleman who
sits before me. (Mr. Macon.) it is only the
third point, on which, have had the misfor-
tune to differ with him, since ] came into
public life. When they, therefore, advoca-
ted this war-like doctrine. it was under the
belief that nothing was left, if the embargo
was raised, but submission or war--and
they preferred the embargo to war, but they
preferred war osubmission. 1t was particu-
larly the doctrine of the gentleman from s.
Carolina, who is no longer member of this
House, to whom these observations, loose
and unsatisfactory as they may be, are more
especially applied. But there is no other
point Of contact, tas far as within my know
ledge,) but his partiality to the embargo, ane
his disposition to go to war, If it were rails
ed. betweed him and those who thank God,
defeated the war purposes.
On the SUBJECT of desire to excite war
spirit. think it necessary to state, tina
motions and speeches were not only made
with that tendency, but with that avowet
disposition in both Houses of Congress
and repeatit to whatever rcethe pre-
sent situation of the country is to be ascribed
1t is not to those who were termed thorough
going men in this House, in the last Congress
nor to those of the same description iii tn
Senate-though they have been checked, t
be sure, by an opposition of the stranges
kind; but it is unimportant of what materi
ais it was composed, since it had the effec
of saving the nation from war with one of tn
belligerents, and of producing the preser
state of things, which gentlemen themselve
tellu was the consequence of our having g
,yoided war.
