acknowledged to be futile and injurious
we are not 10 doubt that his imperial and
royal majesty in single instance has vic.
lated his imperial and royal word, however
strong the evidence-Bat the national faith
is pledged? if SO how do gentlemen talk OF
suspendng the act-you can't repeal bur
you can suspend, and from session to ses-
sion.
The power of suspension and repeal are
the same-If pledged, let US vigorously adj
here not on the one hand saw we are pledg.
ed, and on the other use expedients to G.
wade the pledge. But we are to have three
ports from which his imperial and roy al ma
jesty allows US to export, viz: Charleston,
Norfolk, and New. York-A fine bargain
Like the ancient bargains with the Devil,
which Credulity and Imbecility made with
Cunning and Power. He was almost rea
dy to saw, that no one gentleman believed
one syllable of what he had said of being
bound but to say so would be highly in
decorous Bound to whom? To ShyIock
who was not content with the pound OF
flesh, but must have the blood also!
