BY the suppression of this establish

soon follow, if if has not already ceased to
exist, there is good cause to believe that
the CopsummatlOn OF a project fraugbt
with much injury TO the United States,
has been prevented When we consider
the persons engaged in it, being aAyentu-
rers from different countries, with very
few, If any of The native Inhabitants OF
the Spanish colonies-the territory OH

United States, westward of the MissSsip-

said he had admitted before, and ne NOW
repeated, that the Sergeant at Arms, with
in the House, might command the whole
force of the country, the army aud mlli-
tia, and, supposlus such Il case possible,
might bring a seveniy-iour up the East

Would this be constitutional? He hoped

from Virginia, to pass law on this sub

sad he, according 10 the system of Mr..
Jefferson, hang up rules for the inspec-
ton of all which may direct the conduct
of the citizen, and, If they are broken,
punish the offender. But with such
views, would the gentleman punish poor
Anderson because he sinned against law
before the law was made, Mr. l.. did
moi like such doctrine. He concluded by
saying that, though what he had said
might he thrown away, he had thought ii
his duty TO offer it, He might have been
warm, he said, but il was time TO be warm
