Adams revenue cutters, but 50 long as those
threats were words, and idle words. they
have been treated a. euch, and when it IL
gravely stated by respectable and intelli.
and the United States revenue cutter Sam
nel Dexter had been placed al the discretion
OF the marshal, il seems proper TO
ask, why is this done' Whom is it
desired to attack Not foreign foe; not
turbulent community. In my belief, 1t
must be then for the purpose of waging
war on the people of q State, whose people,
from the date Of its settlement, have been
noted for their intelligent conservatism and
patriotism. 1t may be improper tor this
honorable body TO consider such mena"es
50 long as they are menacef. but no" Thar
that issue is directly forced think it ought
to receive your attention. Your presence
here, Senators, is a mOckery and farce II
snch proceedings as these are sustained ny
the federal government. Your honorableJn-
dietary aud executive may as well resign
their Offices and leave the control and direc-
ton ot State affairs to the subUrd'nates OF
the United States government. No graVer
question has been forced upon the State
since its first settlement. II is q vital ques'
ton, for in it are involved the sover
eighty of the State and the har-
moni0ns relations Of the State with
the United States. The little State
of Rhode Island is entitled on such points
TO an equal respect as larger States or the
general government itself. i make no
argument on this question. The matter is
in the hands Of the General Assembly, and
1 am confident it will be ad justed ir such
manner az TO vindicate the honor of the
State and maintain the integrity OF the
laws.
/ have not the slightest doubt that the
authorities at Washington, when this mat
slv tad ha,r
promptly and emphatically condemn and
repudate the proceedings Of the marshal
ia these premises.
