' GEORGIA, nt
rite The
rjy, upon i\ll BubjuctJ vt'luiingtu the welfare of lh
Chrih! ian Church—lo prew nt to you freely am
frankly some of my leading views upon this all
engrossing subject A"il first, permit me to say
—that 1 cotiiiiler it a m liter ufooiinpurtiince t-
til- community—to set forth my own inlividiia
opinions in relation to the Sabbath day.—More
over, I will remark, that ns a Legislator, il iv on
tirdy immateriul lo the community, wl at my
opinions may bp, nn thi*, or any oilier religious
subject. As a mill). I am accounlalile to my Qml
* a professor of the Christian i cligio- . I am ac
re.untable lo the Church to which t bvlong.
most sincerely unite with you in deeply r<
gretting, that any *ubj-ct of a religious nalo <
hottld ever be admitted into the lialls of our L
Ution, so as, even to render discussion naces
saty.
Admitting the zeal of those persons, who have
metuorl ,lizi d Congress, to be piountnd their in •
lives pure, m veitheless, I feel confident, thri
•id has not been tempered by wisdom or Unowl
iige. The dnine. laws are too sacred t" lie do
lost d in the halls of Legislalloo—and the true
cd faithful friends of the Olir'ntinn|religi in
should et least shrink from such a discussion
much ns they would, the discussion of the rhn
actor of tlieir wives cr daughters, b fore a rout,
of justice. “Render urtn Ctcsar, the things that
nre Ctcsar’s, and unto God, the things which arc
God’s.” The aide report of my friend Col John
son, of tlie Senate of the United States, truly
states, “ It is not ihe legitimate province of th
legislature to d( tertnioe what religion ib true, or
what false. Our government is a civil, and not a
religinus institution. O ir constitution reengn /.•
in cv. ry perron, the right to choose his own reli
gion, and to enjoy it freely Without molestation.’’
I trust I shall never live to pee tbe day, when the
Government will undertakn to define what is tin
aw of God, upon any pne point, whether U_be
in relation to Ihe Sabbath, or any other Divim
command or ordinance.
Upon religious, as well as political subjects,
let truth be free to combat error, and tbe truly
pious have nothing to fear. Upon the subject of
religion I am truly a Southern politician. Hands
off, let ns alone,” is my doctrine. \f neith*'
vant religious encouragement, ry e protection from
he government' The true" American System”
nf religion, is for the government to let ns alone
" cave God and his people lo use tlieir own cap.

Remarks of Mr FORT of Georgia on the Bill

Mr. Chairman—The embarrassment I should
at any time feel in attempting to address tbit bo
dy, is increased hy the circumstance of not know
ing, till tuis moment, that an opportunity wtnld
lie given me to occupy the floor on this day.—
Although I ain sensible of ihe wide range or ar
gument opened by the subject under considera
tion, I sholl. »s fa-ns practicable, avoid entering
into Us details. It would be rain for ma to expect
the iittention nf 'hs Committee, should I attempt
to d» so. Who run expect to throw any new
light on a subject so often and so ably discus
sed aa this ? Yet I feel that the new I have Of it,
has not beco presented by any one wl.o has spo-
ien ; and, however nn willing to add tn the fit-
igue produced by tbe attention given to tbit pro-
meted debate, I crave the otteatloo Of tbe Com
mittee, while I shall briefly attempt to disclose
he opinion* I entertain.
This question, like all others of greet impor-
ance, ought to he discussed disnawfonalely. t
feel that I can meet it calmly ; bet I am well
ware that it will he impossible to present my
iew of it without running into that disputed
round so loudly defended by ihose who, it would
ppenr, are the guardians of tbe rights of the
Statns. S r, I hare attended patently to this
discussion: I hare heard much of the growing
powers of this government, amt of the imminent
dangur impending over the States, and 07ar the
people; yet, I never in my life felt more thorough
ly convinced that these opinions nre illusory, and
the b ars entertained entirely groundless. This
government cannot exist t single day aflrr tho
governments nf the States are destroyed; nor
can it deprive the people of their libertin, uoIrrs

Three questions present themselves for discus-
^ on, tinder the bill on your table t—
1. Has tlie government nf tbe United SlateB
ower to construct mads within the States ?
S. fins it power to levy toil on roads thus
constructed? nnd—
.*>. Is il expedient to exercise this power in tbe
present instance ?
Having risen tn deliver my opinion in support of
the hill reported hy the Committee on Roads and
Canals, it is obvious that I answer ai! these ques
tions in the affirmative. To sustain these opin
ion-, I deem it best first to notice, what I thiok tbe
principal errors lying at tbe root of this suliject ;
and from which have sprung the arguments deem
ed sn conclusive against us. These ere—
I That this government is a compact between
tlip governments of the Stains.
2. That its powers are derived from tbe Slab*
governments.
9. That It properly exists only within the ten
miles square, composing this District. And,
4. That the eovereijpity nf each Slate over ils
-oil is paramount and exclusive.
ft is obvious, If these propositions are not foun
ded on a just view ofthe constitution, but are, nn
'he contrary, wholly untrue, a great part of Ibe
argument which has been advanced on t is ques
tion, must fall to the ground. I ahall therefore
bestow some attention on each of them.
In the first place, let us inquire whether this
government is a confederation of independent
sovereign governments. Every government is,
in some sense, sovereign ; cud the • tales, within
their limits of power and territory, are as truly
io ns anv government on earth. But Ihe people'
ofthe United Stat s live under no government
hnving bo' ndiess authority; and, although the
term sovcriignty is of frequent use amongst ub,
it invariably means no more than Ihe sovereign
power known under the government we live in.
Nothing ha- contributed moro todnrken this sub
ject, than the obstinacy w : (h which the defini
tion's of sovereign power*, drawn from foreign
r mint rice, whose governments have not a princi
ple in common with nitre, are brought iu and ap-
nlieifto the States and to this government. Tliis
■nbiert racnot be thus explained or understood r
our form of government is too complex. True
it i« wholly derived from one simple element, tt*
will ofthe people-, but as it was impossible to
tiring this will to hear, on the various rireumstsn-
reqtiring its exercise, our nncoslors happily
fell on (he p*an of delegating this power to proper •
am-nts. No one hae denied th# authority of IbO
Constitution ofthe United States; nor, so far »
I know, Itas any denied the obligation of individ
uals tn confornflo its laws; but the difficulty i», how
far it may hind the States. without destroying that
sovereignty reserved to them by tbe people.—
That wo may not wander in tlii. dtscus.ion, let
look a little into the history of the formation of
is government. .
