Mr. Speaker. I ticard with surprise,
tmy, with astonishment, the bitter, tho
acrimonious, and; I must odd, the unjus
tifiable invective, which the member from
Ohio poured forth, in a torrent, against
the Chief Magistrate upon this occasion.
The rnnin purpose of the gentleman
seemed to be, to inculcate the opinion that
the rejection of the bill in question was
with a view to acquiring popularity.—
What; sir, an attempt at popularity!—
Cook, far a moment, at the circumstances
of tho case, and then tell me whether tills
opinion enn he sustained.
This bill was not only carried by a ma
jority, ns it must have been, bat by a de
cisive majority of both Houses of Con
gress. Can any man suppose that a Pre
sident. who set out upon nn adventure in
quest of popularity, wovld make his first
experiment ogainirt a question which, by
passing both Houses of Congress, seemed
to carry with it tho approbation of the
States, and tho people of the. States ? On
the contrary-, if he were going forhimsclf,
rat Iter than for his country, would he not,
by approving the bill, have.just floated
down thecniTcntof apparent public opin
ion. without encountering the least im
pediment in his course ? Instead of this,
sir, what has he done ? Regarding his
Country more than himself: looking with
an eye that never winked to f!r> public
good, and not to his personal aggrandize
ment, he has withhold©!] his approval
from fins bill, which was a favorite bant
ling with a majority of both Houses of
Congress; he has thus placed hiinsell’in a
position where helms to win his way to
public approbation, in this respect, under
as adverse circumstances as the mariner
who lias to row up stream, against wind
ami tide.
And this is saitl to he seeking after po
pularity !—Credat Jadicus Apella. Mir. it
is any tiling hut seeking after popularity,
it! the obnoxious sense in which that ex
pression has been applied to him. Hut
if I know any thing* of the character of
my countrymen—ifa rare example of po
litical integrity and firmness, will consti
tute a claim to their esteem—if disinter
estedness and self-denial, be any evidence
of virtue in public man—then indeed,
without seeking, will he have found po
pularity —not es that mushroom kind,
w hich is acquired without merit and lost
without a fault, hut that more no!dr kind
which is always bestowed by nil good
nicn, ns the just reward of virtuous ac
tion's, and is always withholden from
Ihoc-e who, without deserving if, endea
vor so acquire ,t.
Sir, tiie man who is in quest of popular
ity and power, would have taken a dif
ferent course. Hy approving thin bill, and
finis continuing the system ofinternal im
provement, fisc President would have
commanded nn innnenso amount of pa
tronage, n.s wcli in the disbursement of
coulltfcss millions of money, us in ap
pointmoiit to ollice. And yet, though
means of power and influence would be
at ills own command, though he presents
the rnrcexnniplc of Executive Magistrate
rejecting the use of which would contri
bute so much to personal aggrandize
ment, he is still charged with courting po
pularity. li'this be the only mode of court
ing popularity', our country- will indeed be
happy, anti those in power who thus s ek
it will deserve our lasting gratitude.
Other men, with other views, would
adopt another maxon, ‘‘that with money
we enn get men, and with men money;’
and they would cling to both as the in
struiycnts of their ambitious projects.—
Mir, I bail this act cf the President ns o
ininous of the most auspicious results.—
Amongst the many excellent doctrines
which have grown out of oar republican
system, is this, that flic blessing's of free
dom cannot he enjoyed without a frequent
recurrence to fundamental principles. In
litis instance, we arc making that recur
rence. It would seem sir,that the | erlod
of about thirty years, ronstitules n politi
cal cycle. Thirty years ego al the open
ing' of the present century, our Govern
ment was drawn hack to its original
principles; the vessel of Mlatc. like one
at sen, had gotten upon a wrong lack,
anil the new pilot who was then placed
atthe helm, brought it Again into the right
course, lor the purpose of reaching its
proper destination. In the progress of a
long voyage, it has again declined from
its i roper course. And I congratulate
the whole crew, that we have found
another pilot w lilt enough of -Ndl ia na
vigation and firmness, again so correct
the declination. The { remit Chief Ma
gistrate, sir, “ had done the State some
service' 1 heretofore ; hut in rr.y estima
tion, it was hut as dart in the balance,
compared with the goad winch he has
now done.
Thus fit’.'. Mr. Speaker, I have been
shewing the utter injustice of finding' fault
with the Chief Magistrate for exercising
his constitutional function, according to
bis ow n judgment, mid has taken it for
granted, flint bio abjections were well
founded. The late pel iod of the session,,
ns w ell no my having recently argued this
question at large, induce me to forbear
from entering into the discussion now nt
any length. 1 hope, however, the House
will bear with me, whilst I submit a few
general remarks. I not only concur with
the President, ns far us ho goes in his
views, but I go farther, lie denies the
power cf Congress to construct roads,
i with :v claim of juris fiction. Ho do I.—
He admits that. uS tiie Constitution has
i been Jong Construed, the power to ap
propriate money for such purposes asn. e
i rat lb/ intliot/ul, must be acquiesced in, until
the difficulty is removed by c.n amend
-1 meat. In this, I differ from the President,
, as he has a right to differ from me, and
• from both Houses of Congress. Hut ns 1
i claim the right to follow the lights of my
■ own judgment, us I inn always ready to
■ acknowledge that of the President to do
the same.
Hut I will not go into the constitutional
, question. Apart from this, let me ask,
i whether there are not abundant reasons
1 for the course which the President has
■ puntied I Ho tells you, the subject has
I.ecu involved ui doubt, and has produc
ed much diversity of opinion. This is a
part of the political history of the eoun-
J r .V' A retrospect of the proceedings of
< ongress will shew, that different Con
gresses have entertained and expressed
different opinions, on the leading ques
tions connected with this system. We
torso know that many States of the Union
have utterly denied to us this power. Now
I put It to the candor, the justice, flic li
berality of this House, whether the mere
circumstance of great doubt and diversi
ty of opinion, is not reason enough lor the
Chief Magistrate to pause, and for you to
pause with them, in this career? If it be
now said, ns it often has been, that a ma
jority is not to be governed by a minority.
I nnc-wer let that he admitted, and yet I
demand that the majority should pay n
Just r« gard to the remonstrance* and com
phtii" -’the ininoi It y. Even in the
monarchies of Europe, this is the case.
Witness the recent emancipation of the
Irish Catholics by the Kritish Parliament.
This was a concession hy the majority, to
the complaints, of the minority. It wilt
he hut a poor recommendation of our
system of government, to be told, that
under all circumstances, the caprice of
mere numbers must prevail, though there
be only a majority of one, and that we
ure not to hope for the occasional con
cession which is experienced hi the go
vern incuts even , ♦ the old world.
Must this government because it has
the physical power, like Aaron's serpent,
swallow np every thing' loss strong ?
Is it not the part of wisdom, as well
us patriotism, to submit this question to the
States, ia tho form of amendment, rather
titan press on against the known will of
u large portion of them'? The Hintcs
feel ti deep sense of loyalty to the Union;
hut they feel too, that they have, rights to
demand, as well ns duties to perform.
I.et ns not place them in a situation where
they may ho driven to a course that
would he called patriotism hy some, and
rebellion by others; but while, hy what
soever name it might ho culled, would
endanger the success ol'our great experi
ment, the benefits of which concern dm
whole human family. The course sug
gested by the Chief Magistrate is calcula
ted to avert these dangers.—When
members on this floor maintain any prin
ciples, they have no weight but that
which belong to them ns individuals; bat
when a suggestion comes from the Exe
cutive, and especially accompanying his
rejection of a bill, it brings with it all the
authority to which the opinion of a branch
ofthe Government is entitled. An issue
i.< thus mado up between him and Con
irivss. which will cause the people to de
liberate; nud thus wo may hope that if
will he calmly decided hy them, so as to
put (he subject forever to rest.
Mir, there arc other reasons why Ibis
course, pursued by die Executive, should
meet our decided approbation. I need
only glance at a subject, which Iso ic
cently discussed on another bill; 1 allude
to the inequality and demoralizing ten
dency of this system.
A distribution made upon principles of
actual inequality, will produce deep dis
gust on the one side, and festering corrup
tion cn the other.
I mean no offence to any Mtnte nr indi
vidual; the remark applies, without dis
tinction, to all Mtnles and individuals, un
der all circumstances. Mr, the history
oi'ull people, nations, tongues, and lan
guages. (caches us the snipe melancholy
truth, that all governments, of whatever
form, have finally perished by corrup
tion.
How much, then, do we owe to him
who averts this gangrene from our body
politic ? How much more do wc owe
• oiiim who docs it hy a self denial oflhosc
means by which (bis evil may be produ
ced ? Mir. 5 hope, I believe,, that there is
not ingratitude enpngh in thin country to
rewind sm h a course by n deprivation
of ollice.
lint, Mir. had I the honor of filling the
Chief Executive C’hair,— if it were re
vealed to me (i om heaven, that such would
ho the result. I would rather go dawn to
posterity upon the historic page, as one
who. like the present Chief ‘Magistrate,
had with the moral courage, the ardent
patriotism, and lofty disinterestedness of
the nitimus Heinur.oi uni, thrown himself
into the breach and breasled the storm in
doing his duty, than, by « different court***,
continue to be Prcydcnt through n long
am! protracted life.
FROM Till) L'.WM'.R or TltK CONSTITUTION.
Ii is known so every one, that as com
modities rise in | rice, their consumption
is diminished, :u fl that, ns they fall in
price, their consumption is increased.—
Tfe. ratio, however, of the diminution or
Use increase, is not the same in regard to
all commodities. A vise la tl»«* price el’
th>- nrccssnric* of life, w ill not occasion os
great a dim nntimi of (he ordinary eon
sumption. as a rise in the price of me
cr.mforl* if lif ; nor will a rise in the price
ofthese latter articles occasion so great
n diminution as a rise in the price of hi u
ritr. Mo. on the other hand, a fall in the
price efthe necessities of life, will not in
ci ease the consumption, so much as a full
hi the price ofthe comforts of life will in
crease the consumption of these latter;
nor w ill a fall in the price of the comforts
of life increase then' consumption so much
as a fall in the price cf luxuries will in
crease (heir consumption. Each article,
too. of each clu y s, is governed perhaps hy
different proportions, * therefore (herein
no fixed rule by which a general scale
can be formed. Hut we will illustrate
•these positions.
A rise in the price of flour (him five
dollars to ten dollars per barrel, which is
one hundred per cent, would not reduce
the consumption of bread to one half
the usual quantity, because, being a ac
cessary oflife, it could not be dispensed
, with in that proportion. Hut a rise in
the price often and coffee and other such
i articles, xvliich belong to the class of
, comforts, to double the usual rales of the
i market,would diminish tbcirconeumption
to a quantity less than one-half, and for
the reason that the mass of consumers
nave limited incomes, and have no more
than a certain sum to expend in such ar
ticles, so that resort would be had by a
great portion ofthe community to substi
tutes, such os rye and beans, whilstothers
use mils, Arc. A rise in the price of
winci-i and other luxuries to tho extent of
oije hundred per cent, would reduce their
consumption much below one-half, for,
h ing articles which could easily be dis
pensed with, they would£rendily be laid a
sule. That these positions are correct, with
some few exceptions, will be manifest,
fi ora what is exhibited in the daily trans
m tions of life. Almost every economi
cal liuuily has rules as to the maximum
price which it is willing to pay for articles
in the market. Where there are onie
Hundred persons who would give twenty
five rents per pound for butter, there are
not half that number who would give fifty
cents, even for reduced quantities. Some
persons make it a rule never to buy eggs
at a higher price than u particular rate
per dozen, whilst others, in the season for
iaiuh, asparagus, green peas, strawber
ries, and fruits, never buy those luxuries
at all, until they fall to the prices which
they have laid down as their maximum*.
This being the case as it regards a rise
in prices, it follows, that the very opposite*
results would flow from a fall in prices.—
A full in the price of flour, to one half,
would not double the consumption. One
in (he price often and coffee to that ex
tent, would, no doubt, double it; whilst
one in the price of wine might carry flic
increase of consumption much further.
A curious and striking illustration of
t.'c operation of price upon consumption
in regard to nu article of luxury, was com
municated to us last year. The custom
of carrying about the streets of Phila
delphia, in the summer season, the article
of ice, for the use of families, was intro
ciiccd about twenty-five years ago.—
From that period until the year 18*27, the
consumption gradually increased, inso
much that ia that year as ninny as 3000
families received a daily supply, equal, on
uu average, to about half u peek per day.
at thirty-seven ami a half cents per week,
f'lif winter 0f1827-8 having been so mild
that nu ice was formed in that vicinity,
a f reign supply was looked to, when it
was calculated that ice imported from
New England could not be delivered to
customer* lor less than four times the old
price, that is, one dollar and a half per
week for hull’a peck per day. To ascer
tain the quantity which would hr* requir
ed by the demand at this increased price,
the dealers lathe article 'united in an es
. tiinate, by xvliich it was assumed that
one fourth the Usual supply would he
called for, l>**hig the proportion cones
poixliagto tiie rise in price. The result,
however, did not confirm t!i«* correctness
of this calculation. Instead of seven hun
dred mid fifty consumers, the anticipated
number, the number was less than four
hundred, mid of these, many diminished
(heir quantity, so that it appeared that
for every one thousand bushels sold nt
the low price, not more than about one
hundred wore demanded nt the high
price. Another example occurred in the
enso ofthe sale of mineral wftter. A
number of the dealers, on account of’ the
dearness of icc at Unit time, doubled the
price, but the consumption fell off so
greatly, that in a very short time they
wore obliged to fall back so the old rate.
Oar object in bringing these merely
speculative (ruths into view, is to lay j
doxvn the bases of some practical illustra
tions ia relation to the influence of high
•Inlies upon the commerce of (ho United J
Mtates. The raising of prices by artifi
cial means, such us the imposition of high
duties, inevitably diminishes the eon-
Buiui'.lioii, and thusdisturbs the usuul cur
rent oi' imports and exports. New hub
its and tastes become formed; those at
home, ns well us those abroad, who were
belt re concerned in the trade, are driven
into new pursuits, and the reducing of
bo duties may not for many years, if ev
er, restore the old state of things. How
often does it not happen, that the high
ratoof tolls charged on u turnpike road,
bus driven travellers into a new route,
which they have continued to adhere to
even after a reduction of the lolls on the
old road * In the case above referred to,
relating to mineral water, a most injuri
ous effect upon the trade was experien
ced. The lowering of the price to tin*
old rates did not firing back the custo
mers, fer some of them discovered, by the
interruption of their usual supply, xvliut
they did not before know, that it was pas
sible to do without such u luxury.
One remarkable fuel relative to the
turning of trade from its accustomed
channels, wc sliull here mention. Prior
to-tlie lust xvur, it xvu* the custom, ulmont
universally, lor the shijis which sailed out
of Philadelphia, to stop nt New Castle, on
the Delaware,to get their supplies of live
stock, und many of their sea stores, fer
the voyage. During the xvar; there were
bodies of troops stationed in that vicini
ty. composed of volunteers from Penn
sylvania and Delaware, and in 1811, ns
Lite ns December, to the number of three
nr four thousand, mul no small portion
oftliese being citizens possessed of means
to live on the best the country could af
ford, sueli ns eggs, fowls, ducks, and oth
er poultry, tho breeding stock of the
neighborhood xvas encroached upon, bo
that in the spring of 1815 when commerce
was resumed, the first vessels xvliich slop
ped nt Nexv/bistle for their accustomed
stock, could not get supplied. This dis
appointment xvas soon made public. No
more vessel* stoppe’d at New Castle.—
Poulterers started up in Philadelphia to
meet the new demand, and NVxv Castle
forever lost the trade. This xvas the main
• cause of tin* dilapidated condition of that
toxvn, which is so observable to those
who remember the life and bustle xvliich
twenty years ago were exhibited there.
To tamper with trade is us dangerous on
• operation as tampering xvitii one's bodi
ly health, and none hut quacks ever at
tempt it in cither coses,
