vel its real object to BE-, Notwithstanding
what was avowes, 20 raise money FIR tn
service OF he government He did not
think this would be proper or ben eicial
mode of d ing it, &c. and such was the sss
tenn now pursued that nothing but the in
terpositlon Of Providence in pr ducing a
speedy peace could save the nation from
disgrace, &c
Mr.. Wright of Md. stated the reasons
why he should vote in favor of the bill
which were substantially the same as those
assigned by Mr.. Calhoun yesterday, viz
the late change in those circumstances
which rendered the restrictive system an
efficient weapon Of war. He hoped the
time now approached, when, as in the days
OF the revolution, all parties would rally
round the standard of the country, and sup,
port the government in the prosecution of
the war, &c,
motion was then made to adjourn and
neg atived.
neat and forcible speech of half an hour
spread before the house the reasons, founded
on the utility of the restrictive system as a
ar-mcaSure, and the necessity of stability
IN the measures of government which indu-
ced him to vote against the bill. The caus.
es which produced the embargo he conceiv-
ed to operate imperiousy at this moment
when the campaign in the North was about
opesing, and our supplies, which would fall
into the hands OF the enemy, would be more
useful to him than at any moment, &c. &c.
