MR. CLAYTON. OF GFORCIA.
Delivered in the House of Rep eseniatives*on
Wednesday night, Feb. 98ili, on the en
forcing bill.
. Mr. Speakeii: It has been well said, by an old
author, that when a Government intends to com
mit violence upon the rights of the people, its first
attempt is to put out the laws, as others, on like
occasions, pul out the lights We allow the dis
burdening of a ship in cimnincnt peril of wreck,
hut this will not excuse those who, upon a feigned
foresight of u State tempest, shall immediately
cast law and toniCi6r.ee overboard, discard and
quit rudder t.nd compass, untl so assist die
ger they pretend tofoai. As a pretext to fall up
on tin.* people, thov are to he visited with frequent
vexations, and lost these should he healed h\ that
generous forbearance peculiar tou luvcofcountrr
their sines are to he rcgiallied and exasperated,
under ali the urgiug circumstances that cum?
within the invention o'* scandal. And lienee, Tis
a principle in tho Politics ol tyranny to make
ry inlnmity a fault, and every fault a crime.—
j Such us study to he great by uny means, must by
I all means lorgct to he just, and they 1 hat will us-
| tup dominion over others, must first become
I slaves to tho worst of tyrants—n lust after power.
| Povver, when unchained, slops at nothing short
of fall gratification, and by nothing is it so much
delighted us tho red ruins of wasted countries,
{ desolated fields, and demolished habitations, und
i this scene is greatly heightened in itP hell smit-
j ten aspect, if there he loft to brood over the mis-
j chief, the solitude ol widowhood, and the destitu
tion of orphanage. Such may lo the result of
I ibis day’s legislation, and there is to come out of
, it this lossou, tii it in the promptings of ambition,
) power cannot he purchased too dear, though it
| cost the blood of millions. In t)ic contemplation
, of a principle s.» desponding there is left one con-
I solution, poor 1 confess, that it will not he the first
supremacy that has been won and worn upon the
. length and keenness of an usurping sword,
j It is tho remark of an eminent divine, that in
entering upon the discussion of an important
I question, it is all important to ciifch in the he
j ginning, the fixed attention of the hearers, and
J noihtng is so well calculated to elluct this object
| as the reading of some striking passage from a
popular author. Knowing an i feeling now much
I need such aid, I will present you, from this same
divine, that very stiinulan', which he, in much

e ns a reason why vve should lot them sub
si'lize you a little longer, that you are puttiug on
the signs of rebellion, and it will never do—the
pride of the Government will not suffer it—to per
mit you to question our authority to lax yon for
whatever purpose vve please. True, these tnanu-
fitciurets have driven you to desperation, and to
’rive yon out of it again, becomes a pretext to
eep on the taxes. Lay down your arms, fall ou
your knees, and raise your hands and i yes in sup
plication, und vve have no doubt they will take
tho matter into their serious consideration at the
next session of Congress! Now, Mr. Speaker,
you may think this is no hard matter lo hear, and
tint vve Ought to (ry it a little longer; hut mark
mo, vve are in and about tho very point where it
can he enduted no longer, and this Congress
would do well to pause before they move any
further. What is it you want? Tuxes? For
what? For tho Government? Take what you
please, to auy amount for its honest purposes.—
Have you ever been stinted? Your Secretary
says, you cannot possibly spend more than fifteen
millions, and the allowance of this sum will re
duce our burthens six millions. Why will you
not do it? Do you want mere for yourselves?—
Only observe for a moment how bountifully you
are supplied out of these fifteen millions. Bear
with tne while I te‘1 tho prop! Who are working
under (rod’s curse, for what little they earn, how
sumptuously their governor, live.
First, go with me to tho j nlnce of your Prosi
dent—see the spiendois of his household—view
t!ii* lawns, and artificial hills ami dales, tlml sur
round his mansion, made on purposo to tegale*
his eye. and varied every year to relievo his vis
ion from the dulncss of monotony! All this comes
out of the estimate ol fifteen millions, said lobe
wanted for the use of the Government! Conic
with me to tho gaudy exhibitions displayed in
both halls of Congress—ee one hundred white
servants, to our heck und call—and vve tun hard
ly lift a draft of water to our lips without their
Ite'p! Bet the splendid gardens and oncf.osuies
provided lor our especial comfort and tefresh

and forty in breadth, has cost four thousand d »l-
lais! One enclomre of eight acres, for a In tame
g irden, in •rout of this ihagnilicorit building is
about to cost us tvvt illy thousand dollars. The*
