that a ssrepeai of the non.intercourse
without something being substituted
was positive unequivocal submission
10 the edicts of France and Great Bril-
;sin. He had been grati6ed at the
result OF that vote, as it had still kept
open the question for repeal of the
non-intercourse. He was one of those
opposed to repeal of the non inter-
course without substitute. He said
he thought Congress could not sepa-
rate at the present session without re-
Pealing the non-intercourse aud doing
something TO maintain, support and
defend the rights of our country. At
a former session the House had re-
solved that they could not submit to
the British or French DEGREES without
a surrender of the rights, honor and
independence Of the nation. Nothing
had occurred 10 change the relative
situation of the United States, as to
those DEGREES. Holding these opini.
ons, Mr. M. said he considered it his
duty to move the following amend
ment, to which he said he had no he
