AUGUSTA HERALD.
THURSDAY, MAY 15, 1806.
WE republish from the Washington
Monitor, an extract of a letter from Mr. Spal
ding one of our Representatives in Congress,
which though it contains nothing very now,
tends to confirm the disgraceful, the double
faced conduct of the administration and its
friends. With the political sentiments of Mr.
Spalding we do not pretend to be acquainted,
but we venture to say that his conduct in the
secret sittings so far as we are made acquinted
with it, will be appropriated by Isis constitu
ents. The people of Georgia, are not yet lost
to all sense of national dignity, nor do we
believe many among them could be found
who would be willing to make a formal sur
render of the independence of their country :
and though they are under the necessity of
seeing artd knowing, that their government
has become tributary to France, yet they are
not so senile as to approbate those measures
which have produced so humiliating a situa
tion. \\ hat would have been the feelings of
the American people, what would have been
the sensations universally exited, if during the
administration of the immortal Washington,
a member of Congress had acknowledged, that
he voted in a particular way in causer]unite of
a threat from a foreign power ? what would
fii.ve been the astonishment, the unqualified
indignation of our citizens, if a secretary of
state in those days of American greatness and
glory, had asserted to a representative of the
n. tion. that “ France wanted money, and that
we must pay it ?” are the sensations produced
in the public mind by the application of Talley
rand to the American ministers in Paris for
money already forgotten ?—At that period
the national pulse beat high, and the spirit of
honourable independence pervaded all parts
»f the political body — millions, for a just de
fence of our rights, rather than a cent in sla
vish tribute, was then a general sentiment.
How soon, how shamefully is the language
of the government changed—now the idea
seems to be, millions, upon millions for tribute .
rather than a cent for defence. Applications
for money are not now made at second hand,
oi- through diplomats agents in foreign coun
tries, but encouraged by the imbecility of the
administration, the disgraceful demands are
brought home to the very doors of the execu
tive—the secretary of state of tee United
States, is made use of to communicate the re
ts aid tion to an American representative, and
to inform him in the imperious language of a
master that we must pay money, because France
leant* it. —Vv hat would have been thought,what
would have been said, had a Pickering or a
l V- oicot in the days of American prosperity
expressed the sentiment which Mr. Madi
son expressed to Mr. Randolph, what indeed
" ould have been the feelings of the house
of Representatives, had Mr. Randolph who
was once a favourite leader with 'be majority
•mornied them, that England wanted monev.
and that we must pay it, and that if we did
not see would make us feel her vengeance.
Is there a single member who on such an
observation, would have restrained nis indig
nation witnin any moderate bounds, and yet
is there one who can inform us, why it would
not be as rational, as honourable, and as po
litic to be tributary to England as to 1 ranee ?
—'A by not send sixty waggon loads of dol
lars to London as well as to Paris ? Rut
strange and unaccountable as this proceeding
has been, the friends and advocates of it affec
ted a desire to make a show of spirit and
dignity, at the very moment when they were
sealing their own degradation, and infamy—
and not satisfied with disgracing the country
by voting two miiiitai, to France, tney en- j
deavoured to ruin it, by an unnecessary war •
with England, and in this way connecting
our country with the contending powers of
Europe, they laboured to throw the weight
of the American nation, into that scale whose
preponderance would raise and overturn the
liberties of the world. Mr. Randolph op
posed this strange infatuation, with spirit
and energy—His second speech on Mr.
Gregg’s resolution is commenced in our
paper of to-day, it will be found well worthy
of perusal—for though w e think, and are well
satisfied that Mr. Randolph is erroneous in
some particulars, yet his remarks on the
subject of French and British policy, are no
doubt unexceptionable.
ihe President of the United States has nom
inated. and the Senate unanimously advised
and consented thereto, JAMES MONROE, j
now Minister Plenipotentiary of the United j
States at the court of London, and WILLIAM
PINCKNEY, of Maryland, to be Commis
sioners Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary for
settling all matters of difference between, the
L ailed States, and the united kingdoms of
Great-Britain and Ireland relative to wrongs
committed between the parties on the high
seas or other waters, and for establishing the
principles of navigation and commerce between
them.
John Kandolfih-. It reported, (says the
Trenton federalist) that this gentleman lately
waited on president Jefferson, and enquired
very particularly respecting the expected re
turn of Mi-. Monroe, our Ambassador to Great-
Britain Upon which Mr. Jefferson asked
Air. Randolph why that circumstance inter
ested him so much. Air. Randolph an
swered that he wished Air. Monroe to be held
UP f° r presidency at the next election.
7he president replied that he had supposed
the \ irginians would support Air. Madison for
that office. Air. Randolph hastily rejoined,
“ 1 know not how that may be, but for my part,
I want no more of y our philosopher presidents.’’
Air. Alonroe, minister of the United States
to the English government has transmitted, at

Summary of Congressional labours.
T his day closed a session of Congress, from
the proceedings of which every American of
real patriotism, and independent mind, must
turn for ages to come, w ith scorn and indigna
tion*
t he national sovereignty, which had been
achieved by the best blood of our country, has
been surrendered : the policy of the Jefferson
faction having plated the U. States precisely in
the situation of Spain, Holland, Switzerlai f
and the other dependencies of France—if there
is an individual who doubts the truth of this
assertion let him consult the law, which an
nulled our commerce with Domingo, and
the demand, on which that law was enacted;
let him refer to the still more disgraceful tribute
of two millions of dollars, which, under the
deceptive title of increased expence of foreign
intercourse , has been granted to the Great Na
tion ; let him look at the prostrate condition
of our country in her external, and the defence
less and distracted state of her internal rela
tions ; let him peruse with attention the de
bates of Congress, and the declarations of Mr.
Jefferson’s quondam friends, during the present
session ; and lx: must cease to doubt that we
have been precipitated from the proud emi
nence of honor and independence, on which
the courage, wisdom and virtue of the im
mortal Washington had placed the American
Commonwealth, into the deepest mire of in
famy and subjugation — .V. Y. Spec.
Extract of a letter from Thomas Studding, Esq.
Member of Congress, to a gentleman in Wtikes
county, dated Ist April, 1800.
_ “ Yesterday, after a very long and very
violent debate, a motion was carried for taking
off the injunction of secrecy, under which
Congress has been during the greater part of
this session, I can therefore state to you what
was done during that period in a few Words
leaving you to be more fully in for, ted of ever !
thing that did take place, by the newspapers, in
due season.
“On the 6th of December, the President
transmitted to Congress a confidential message,
on the subject of .Spanish affairs, r.ot altoge
ther in the tone of his public message, and in
deed, as his particular friends say, “ capable of
a two-fold construction.” This message was
accompanied by documents, that elucidated in
part, the plan that was desired, which is in
substance this :—When Mr. Monroe and
Pinkney were in Spain, treating on the sub
ject of boundaries with that country, it was
understood ti. t Spain was ready to treat,
but that France would not let her. At j
Paris, our minister was informed at once,
that our pretentions on Spain were unwarrant
ed and that in the event of their being produc
tive of a war between our government and that,
that France would not hesitate, but immediately
take part with Spain. But it was understood
also, that our government might, by a certain
sum of money, purchase the i lorida** from
Spain, and so extinguish the dispute. 1 his
suggestion you will observe, did not come
from Madrid or the Spaniards, but from
Paris and the French. The secretary of
state (Air. Madison) declared to Mr. Ran
dolph, that France wanted money from us,
and that France must have it. 4^
“ I hus situated, the committee to whom
the President’s secret message was referred,
taking into consideration the aggressions of
! Spain, both in our territory, as well as upon
the ocean. recommended an increase of our
(.-military force, for the protection of our south
ern and western frontier ; as will appear, -s
sixm as their report is published. This propo
sition was rejected, and another brought in,
by men who pretended to be peculiarly in the
confidence of the President, for voting two
millions of dollars to be advanced in part pur
chase oi the Floridas, as was pretended, but as
many Cl us rather believed to purchase a con
tinuation of peace from France and Sapin.
Mr. Randolph and his friends took, lire at
this indignity offered to the holior, and even
independence of their country. They believed
and still believe, that the French do, a. d win
consider us, as their tributary state ; that when*
ever they are disposed to exact from us a sum
of money they will give Spain the nod, who
will violate our boundaries and bully us, and we ,
j be compelled to purchase tlie inierierence
| of France.
“ 1 Inis, while we basely crouched to France
and Spain, the government appeared disposed
to take lofty ground w ith F.ngland, for very
minor objects ; which in due season we shall
be able to prove. Against this 1 was one dho
voted, as the secret journal will shew ; and I
will wait with confidence the decision of my fel
low-citizens on this important subject.”
