of the President :
1 rejoice that the per.od has
at length arrived, v.iien our
public tondufl is to be submit

we h ive done in our Reprefenta

not fro n eloquent reprefentati
ci:s on this floor of w.i.it other
gentlemen wcuid not do, but j
from die record of our proceed
.n s. The fecrei is out —th-
hubble has built, and gentle.s en
find thcmlelv.s and the public
rufappoinred. I confider the
publication of the freret journal
;.s an appeal to the people. 1
am willing to indiiltc gentlemen
in ti rd hi!’ it as perfect as they
t 1 !li ill voie for the aniend-
Tr.-. : of the gentleman fro n Vir
or from any other calcula

j fo.e ihem to whom we are rrfpon
I itM . for our conduct. The jour,
j r ; al is die b- i\ answer to their
ipcech 1 -* Amend it as they
cannot tea! fisc ihe public expect
ation!:.lls pubiicattoit, i firmly
believe, v.dl excite no fentimen
i>ut ft rprile. On the day the
i; j-indt r nos feercry was taken I
off, your doors were croudec!
wih persons anxious to he.:,
th.s tremendous secret. I wit-!
ntiled nothing but diftppoinr l
irenc. Congress has appropria-!
ted two millions of coilais 10:
buy Morida. Is this all ? I lav< ‘
you not confiscated the public!

liana flock? Moft certainly vou !
hat e voted money to bribe 1 al
Lyrand ? No, 1 afi'urc you, we
nave done nothing more than
appropriated two millio sos dol
Lis for ihe purchale of Liorida,
in a lawg containing preciiely the
la i.e woids, w.th the one p..!T-tl
or -h ,t | urpole, in the year 1803
md iopporied by the very per
font who have denounced this
measure. (jentieir.er. have at-
Uii pted to draw diftindtion be
ween the situation of the Uni
ted States in the year IHO3, and
i.i the year ißcb, lam not li)
uncandid as to lav that the pre
<ent differepets with Spain, art
prtcilelv such as we had in the
‘cir ttfoj. ‘l'his however, 1
will fay—that every objection ur
;/d againlt ‘he pretent appropri
uion, applies w.th equal foict j
to the measure of rSoj. I e u- i
examine what was the fguatio:;;
of the United States with S J
>t thele two p. riario.
In tlie year 1803 Spain had :
cornu.icted Spoliation* on oui i
I .'ommerce to a confidorabie a
mount, the payment of which
iud been either wholly or in
part tefufed. She had cut off
the whole weflern country from
an outl t to the by pro
hi'mting a 1 epofit at Orleans,and
refufin tto ariLn an rquivaLn:
one clic.vhere, as ft puiated by
tie ty. ‘rheremeviy :/opted by
the ll -dtcvf wildom of the nati
on v.as holding in rcaiincfs a
d-tach uent olmilitig and ma
king a lice: appropriation to
buy LI or id.:.
In the year i3oj, .Spain had
retuf dan amicable a ijuftincnt
of limits—had refuted to pay
,• iiatior.s on our commerce—
had in one 11 ll.ir.ee violated oui
territory. The remedy reforteu*
to, has been to hold in readind -
a. etachment of the militia, and
o appropr. ice money tor the
purchale of the biorida.
I'liis was the lunation of the na
tion at thele two periods, whether
at either period, the wil.il courb
has been purlued, 1 lhail not at
tempt to prove. In buth calts
the nation adopted the fame
principle. To avoid war, if poi
iible, and to purchale territory
rather than fight for it. Ait the
thong objections urge-d again!!
the mealure at preient adepted,
ippiy withe qual fort e to the mea
ly.e adopted m iSoj. 1 heewe
laws contain preciiely the fame
>• or*iand neither Iptc.ij t,.*.
,bjefl (J appropriation* The- 1
cw of i 8c j was palled >n feure r ,.
clofed doer'-. 1 he law of;
1806 was pafTed in the brae man -’
\nrr ‘The appropriation in 18 c3 1
was not recommended by ti.r
executive,but founded on a n
folution fumriitted by a 11 ember
of the house of reprtfentatives
The appropriation i t 18( 6, was
nor recotnnntnded by the execu
tive, bur fimnded on a resolution
fob n rted by a member of the
hotrie of rrprefentitives. Ihe
object of appropriation in the
| year *BO3 concealed lrom th.-
pcople iw ive tronths. In the
year 1806 made pubi c in a few
weeks. Gentlemen may draw
nice diflindions, but they will
find it difficult to make people
believe, that the mtclurc adopt
ed in ißot, was wife and virtu
ous, and the lame measure i/,
if>c6, infamous. 1 appeal with
co fidence to the people, the)
will ta 1 mult fee, that this is tin
very fame mealure adopted if ree
years ago, without roife, a p.w
containing tiie fame wor.:s, pals
ed in ferret in the fame manner,
and supported by the very per
sons wlio have denounced this
measure;
When, however, *h : s rreafure

Jing army for the purpife o.

As to (he firft of thefc, decla
ring war, no it e-i her or the house
of repiefentat vts w fried to pur

If, however, we hed not thi:

X—’
would have increaiecl executive
patronage and endangered the
cor.’ftiuiuon ancl the liberty of tht
people, lo alio, would war with
France and spain combined—!
we put war aside therefore, as a
course which no man wilhed to
pursue. The next cc-urfe was
timer to increase our Handing
troops or to ho and in readiness a
detachment of Militia. Here
was roaui for an honest diveifi7j
of opinion. A maj rity of the
iioule jirelc re.l vl,, ending on a
militia. I was of r.nat number.
I t!iou_-ht the itan ii;-j ttoops in
tha: country lufficienc h r the
protection of it, uniels Spain de
termined to force a war. Sub-
Lquent events have fiiewn the
I *Ol lectnels of that op mon; No
violation of territory has taken
place finer the tale of the Kem
pers, except by twenty Spaniards
who croired the Sabine, and
were driven oil’ by the American
troops* The t.ext course was
either to exchange territory or to
■ purchase. A majority of the
iioui'e were in favor of both.—
I was of that number. On the
Fait fide of the Miffilfippi there
; was territory to which Spain had
an undoubted rich:. Tnere was
territory to which the United
b'tates lu-d an undoubted right—
and there was territory which
noth Spain and the United 6'.ate 1
claimed. On the Wet! fide o:
the the situation was
(the .amc. Etch nat. .n !:] a r I
, ur.coubtJ.l right to territory ? ,. c .
there was territory claim.-,-j j
both. It was not to bes J ppo
fed that d’pain, while foe i.elc l
the territuiy to the eafi: cf tht j
Perdido, wouid be disposed to
relmquifli the claim which fi ;c ;
lets up to the country between*
the Perdido and Mdl'nlippi. j c ’
was necessary to purthafe the ter
ritory to the eafl of the Perdido, j
to which .Spain has an undoubt
ed right, and after difpofinu o>
which it wnuld certainly be
tween the Perdido and iVhlnffip
pi, on obtaining an equivalent
lurrender on the part of rhe Uni
ed States to claims wrfi ot the
Miflilf.ppi. I lee nothing d.fho
i.craois in .n.e truulactjt.f), and
ready it appears,to me that the
difference between the nisjoricx
and minority is narrov eu ,j own
to this. The majority v/ere in

On this fubjfc!, I have never
