House. and the discussion oft was irrelevant TO
the subject proposed for the action oitho House.
Mr.. DANIEL said he had intended 10 discuss
the su'jec, of doubtful powers; aud was gong 10
bring IN TO his all the opinions of the President as
expressed IN certain paper lie had been going
to ask, whether the doctrine that Representative
was Representative moi of his own constituents
but OF the whole people Of the United States, was
doctrine that the gentleman from Pennsylvania
would contend for and whether tic gentleman
approved the doctrine that the constitution was
formed by the people not in separate communities, |
bat as an aggregate Ii the gentleman honl
Pcnnsylvonia agreed To such sentiments, then Mr..
ID. disagreed with the gentleman disagreed with
him IN tato. He regretted that any member OF the
House should agree to such notions -lo him they
appeared to be the very essence of consolidation.
They had been considered and represented by |
all the republicans who figured the theatre at the
time the constitution was adopted Mr.. D. said
In
these questions up tina, if these doubtful
powers they nigh, be stated; especially (if the
Chair Ilcased) Oh the subjec, Of internal improve
ment.
lie said he had been arguing in favor of the refer
euce he had moved. The message laid down the
general position that no power should be exercised
by Congress whenever one fourth Oft the people of
the Union were opposed To il. He was DESTROYS of
having report on this doctrine, in order 10 prevent
civil war & disuiou. lie hoped Congress would
take up the subject & settle it. He had seen paper
purponing tobe a Proclamation which the gentleman
from Pernsylya said he approved. He suppos
cd the gentleman approved, too, that single midi
yiJual shouldb be singled oat for martyrton and
tha, an enjeavour should bc made to excite one part
Of the Union against another part OF II. II was
| high time indeed that Congress should act.
| So far as the President recommended pence and
harmony, Mr.. y. went WITH him. But If any one
OF the States chose to go off from the conedoracy,

be for whipping j, in, Let them part in harmony
and with good feeling. These were has opin-
