We are doomed to suffer, under a clear conviction
that our ~suncriugs will administcr no relief to the
d~istrcsses, whether real or imaginary, of any portion
of our fellow citizens. We are to be made the victims
OF a system " which not enricheth them but makes
MS poor indeed"-a system which wages war, not a.
gainst our enemies, bitt our friend not the hostile
regulations of other countries, but against the udvau.
tages of our natural positioni in the world, and the mu.
nihcent hountics of an all-wise Providcncc-a svs-
tenn which has originated in discomfort, must inevi-
tably end in disappointment. hgainSt such a sys-
tenn, do most solcmnly protest, nsa palpable invasion
of those rights aud interests which l am charged to
defend aud protect. And l do bcseech its advoctcs
as they regard the principles Of Justice, the interests
Of the republic, or the mutual good will of its
members, to pause before they give this bill the ire
vocablc sanction of their final vote. II, however. they
should pass it, even with 4 majority Of a single vote,
I shall, as bound by my Allegiance, submit to it as
one of the laws of my country. 1 have cndeavorcd,
with zeal axd fidelity. to discharge my duty as a
Representative. ] trust | shall never be found
wanting in my duty Us Il citizen. I must take leave,
however to say one parting word to the authors of
this measure: thank God that, if mine is to be the
suffering, theirs will DC the responsibility.
