same opinion: He declared himself Gec;.
dedly OF the American peace party and
was therefore for the amendments to the
bill, because they certainly could not produce
a war with either bciligerent.
Mr.. johnson said, that. connected with
the circumstances under which this bill had
come to the House, he would as soon vote
Tor proposition to tear from the journals
of the Old Congress the Declaration OF In
dependence, as for the amendments OF the
Senate. However weak the non intercourse
might be. he would never vote for it's repeal
until substitute was adopted. He consider.
ed that if the bill passed as amended. it would
be that kind of submission from which the
nation never could emerge. With his con-
sent this hall should never be polluted by the
passage OF such an act. Were he certain
the roof would fall and crush him after vot-
ing against the anne ailments. he would not
hesitate to die with his vote.
Mr.. RISK observed that he did not rise to
fatigue the House with detailed speech.
1t had become almost an offence against the
House to mention the insults and injuries this
nation had received from the bslligerents.

And now, these amendments TO the bill had
been received from the same body What
is the effect of the amendments? To repeal
every shade, to destroy every pretence of
resistance to this system of aggression of the
belligerents-Sl why is this tn be done. The

chants are uneasy. l, for one, sir. am tired,
and the nation is weary of this sort of rea-
soning. In what dilemma has it placed us
since 1906 Look to the acts of govern
ment, look to their proceedings, and then
tell me if these merchants are consistent
Mr.. +. took review of the late measures OF
government and the uniform opposition OF
the merchants. Gentlemen might say, that
the repeal of the non intercourse law was to
make way for something more energetic.
Was it to be believed, that those who could
not bear to see few merchant vessels con
hned in our harbors, were prepared for any
thing more energetici Concur in these a
mends, (said he) and it is the last y OH hea,
OF resistance. l would as soon concur in
surrendering the right of government to the
bei'igerents. as would vote for this amend
ment.
A motion was then made to adjourn, and
carried, 81 to 81.
