sions that every one acts from his own
Judgement, and should receive the fame or
irtamy due to his own conduct.
Sir, when we reflect that this nation is
now engaged In war, the object OF the ear
iy meeting of this session Of congress will
immediately occur. The ways an 4 means
Tor carrying on the war are imperiously de-
manded OF us--to meet that object should
be our first duty /; and had hoped no sub.
lcct disconnected With it would have oc-
cupied the house I; and much less could /
have imagined several days would have
been employed in investigating the causes
that produced the war, a, period when i,
rs year since it was declared. The ar
guments of gentlemen in the opposition
might have been serveabIe at the time that
subject was on the taPis, and believe they
we're then urged, duly considered, and
weighed before our government acted
! All arguments should be now applied 10
the present state of the Union, TO the ef.
iectual means of bringing this war TO a
happy and honorable termination. MIR s.

In feeling an interest in the fortune and
happiness OF our own country, and in adopt
