Constitutional Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1824-1832, 1832-05-29

Committee was divided in the proportion Of six 1,
one. Under such circumstances Inc had resolve,
to carry into the deliberations of the Committee
the most perfect spirit Ot coiIpromiSt which was
consistent with those constitutional principlc,
which throughout HIS political life he had regard
cd as his sheet anchor. In the Committee 4
correspondent feeling had been cxprcsscd-amd
by no individual moro distinctly than b,
The distinguished gentleman from Nlassacli,i.
sets, [Mr. Adams) But when the committee
came to tho consideration Of practical points they
lSund their opinions widely apart from each other
" ith many OF the sentiments contained in the
report he not only agreed, but felt grateful 10
inc chairman of the COMMITTEES for the force with
winch they were expressed. Bat with the general
principles of that report he felt compelled To OK
press his decided disdpproDaiiOn. These PRINCIPLES
were not drawn from the limited powers given TO
TINS government by the constitution--but from the
general grounds of the social compact. With re-
terence TO the bill just reported, he deemed 1t far
more cNceptIouablc to southern views and Souih-
ern feelings, than tho bill reported to the Uuusa
by the Secretary of the Treasury. He had moi
been satisfied with that bil!-hc thought IL conceal
cd mnch eNcerIonao!e matter that did not appear
on its surlacc--but under all circumstances he
hid thought would he better To take il with ali It's
evils than hazard the occurrence of Gar greater
evils. With these remarks upon the principles of
the report and bill he would not Uc:an the House
further, until the subject should come up rcyul,rl,
for discussion.
