of opinion, that it would he inexne.
dient much longer to continue the
|embargo, unless we Gould have the
dearest prospect of its ultimate effica.
Ecy. I however thought, that as it had
not been fairly executed until within
a few weeks, aud as its effects begun
to be felt with great severity bv Great
Britain, it would have been better to
have postponed its removal until the
next meeting of Congress in May.
This would have given us another
chance for an amicable settlement of
our differences with the two great bel.
ligerents, before our property would
have been exposed to their violence s.
cupidity, and we should have had only
about two months more of embar-
go. A sentiment similar to that
have expressed, was entertained by a
majority of the republicans in Con-
gress, who wished. upon the repeal of
the embargo, to adopt some strong &
efficient measure of resistance against
the violators of our rights. But such
was the impatience Of many Of the re-
publicans & of the federalists (who u
nited formed majority of the whole)
that repeal to take place in NJ arch,
was determined on. Then our OBJ
lect was to get the best substitute in
our power for the embargo. The
Journals of Congress will shew that
this act is the strongest measure for
the redress of our wrongs that could ne
obtained. Under these circumstances
| voted forfit.
Having concluded, fellow citizens,
the comments Iin:ended to offer you
on your public affairs, have only to
add, that in the discharge of the high
ly responsible trus which you have
|reposed in ME, the best faculties pos
sess have been faithfully and zealously
exerted. Should you again think pro-
per to assign TO me the duties of your
