w Unfitted indeed the propriety o(

short, that the. councils of the con-
vJcracv should be conducted w ith more
^rnanimitv und candor, they should
co'nteniphite the benefit of all parts u pon
common principles, and not the sacrifice
of one part for that of another. There
appeared to us a material difference be
tween stipulating by treaty to forbear the
„ ie< ami not being aide to open the river :
The former would he considered by the
^habitants of the western country as an
Jet of hostility : the latter might lie jus
tified bv our inability. And with res-
nirt to tlie commercial part of tlie pro-
j, cti vv e really thought it an ill-ath ised
on-\ solely on its own merits.
Thus was this project brought before
Congress, and so far as 1 recollect, in
tin:, form, and upon these, principles. It
was the subject of tedious and lengthy
discussion in that honorable body. Every
distinct measure that was taken, I do not
mar remember, nor do I suppose it of
consequence. 1 have shewn the out
lines of the transaction, which is, if I
apprehend rightly, all that.the committee
iusIi to possess. The communications
tii'the secretary were referred to a com
mittee of tlie whole house. The dele
gates of the seven easternmost states
voted that the ultimata of the secretary’s
in-tructions, be repealed ; which was re
ported to the house, and entered on the
journal by the secretary of Congress,
"that the question was carried. Upon
this entry, a constitutional question arose
to this effect: “Nine states being ne
cessary, by tlie federal constitution, to
give an instruction, and seven having
repealed a part of an instruction so given
for the formation of a treaty with a fo
reign power, so ns to alter its import,
and authorize, under the remaining part
thereof, tho formation of a treaty, on
principles altogether different from what
tho said instruction originally contem
plated—can such remaining part be con-
si lereJ as in force, and constitutionally
obligatory ?” We pressed on Congress
for a decision on this point often, but
without effect. Notwithstanding this. 1
understood it was the intention of the se
cretary to proceed and conclude a treaty
in conformity to his project, with the
minister of Spain. In this situation I ieft
Congress—What I have since heard, be
longs not to me to discov-r, Other gen
tlemen have more complete information
of this business, in the course it has taken
than l can possibly have been able to
obtain: for having done my duty whilst
there, 1 left it for others who succeeded
me to perform theirs, and I have made
but little further enquiry respecting it.
The animated pursuit that was made of
this object, required, and l believe re
ceived, as firm an opposition. The
southern states were on their guard, and
warmly opposed it. For my part, 1
thought it my duty to use every effort
in Congress for the interest of the south
ern states. But so far as depended on
me, ivith my official character, it ceased.
With many of those gentlemen, to whom
1 always considered ii as my particular
misfortune to be opposed, I am now in
Eibits of correspondence and friendship;
and I am concerned for the necessity
which has given birth to this relation.
Whether the delegates of those states
spoke the language of their constituents;
whether it may be considered as the
permanent interest of such stales to de
press the growth and increasing popula
tion of the western country, are points,
which l cannot pretend to determine. I
must observe, however, that I always
supposed it would, for a variety of rea
sons, prove injurious to every part of
the confederacy. These are well under
stood. and need not he dilated on here.
If, however, such should be the interest
h- seven states, let gentlemen contem
plate the consequences in the operation
°1 the government, as it applies to this
Subject, I have always been of opinion,
sir, that the Americans, as to all natural
objects, had in every respect a common
interest. Few persons would be willing
to bind them together by a stronger or
r P orp indissoluble bond, or give the na
tional government more powers than my
1 only wish to prevent it from do-
mg harm, either to states orindividuals;
nnd the rights and interests of both,
>n a variety of instances, in which they
arc now left unprotected, might, in my
opinion, he belter guarded. If l have
mistaken facts, honorable gentlemen will
correct me. If 1 omitted any, as it lias
not been intentional, so 1 shall be happy
II ’ ^ u *ir assistance to supply the defect.

would not tail of availing themselves of
the opportunity given them by the con
stitution, of relinquishing that river, in
order to depress the western country,
and prevent (lie southern interest li Jm
preponderating.
Mr. Grayson.—Mr. Chairman—The
honorable gentleman was mistaken when
lie supposed that I said seven states had
absolutely voted to surretide r the navi
gation of the Mississippi. I only spoke
ofthe general disposition of the “tales,
which Inlledgcd to he actuated by inter
est. That consequently the cnrrving
states were necessarily inclined against
the extension of the interest and influ
ence ofthe productive states, and that
therefore they would not favor any mea
sure to extend the settlements to tlie
westward.
I wished not to enter into this discus
sion for the reasons mentioned by my
honorable friend. Secrecy was requir
ed on this subject. 1 told Congress,
that imposing secrecy, on such a great
occasion, was unwarrantable. However,
as it was not given up, 1 conceived my
self under some restraint. But since it
has come before the committee, and
they desire to develope the subject, 1
shall stand excused for mentioning what
I know of it. My honorable friend gave
a very just account of it, when he said
that the southern states were on their
guard, and opposed every measure tend
ing to relinquish or wave that valuable
right. They would not agree to negoti
ate, hut on condition, that no proposition
whatever should be made to surrender
that great right. There was a dispute
between this country and Spain, who
claimed one halfof Georgia, nndone half
of Kentucky, or if not that proportion, a
very considerable part, as well as the
absolute and exclusive navigation of the
Mississippi. The southern states thought
that the navigation of the Mississippi
should not be trusted to any hands, but
those in which the confederation had
placed the right of making treaties.—
That system required the consent of
nine states for that purpose. The Se
cretary for Foreign Affairs was empow
ered to adjust the interfering claims of
Spain and the United States, with tie
Spanish minister, but as my honorable
friend said, with an express prohibition
of entering into any negoeiation tint
would lead to the surrender of that river.
Affairs continued in this state for some
time. At length a proposition was made
to Congress, not directly, but by a sub
wind. The first proposal was to take qT
the fetters of the secretary. When tU:
whole came out, it was found to be i
proposal to cede the Mississippi to Spnit
for 25 or .'30 years, (for it was in tht
disjunctive) in consideration of cerlaii!
commercial stipulations. In support o|
this proposal, it was argued, that th
right was in him who surrendered, and
that their acceptance of a temporary reJ
linquishmcr.t, was an acknowledgm^rl
of our right, which would revert to ofc
at the expiration of that period—that wt-
could not take it by war; that the thing
was useless to us, and that it would be
wise and politic to give it up, as wc were
to receive a beneficial compensation for
that temporary cession. Congress, after
a great deal of animosity, came to a reso
lution, which, in my opinion, violated
the confederation. It was resolved by
seven states, that the prohibition in the
secretary’s instructions should be repeal
ed: whereby the unrepealed part of his
instructions authorized him to make a
treaty, yielding that inestimable naviga
tion, although by the confederation, nine
states were necessary to concur in the
formation of a treaty ! How then could
seven states constitutionally adopt any
measure, to which, by tlie constitution,
nine, states were only competent ? It was
entered on the journals, and transmitted
to the secretary of foreign affai rs, for his
direction in his negoeiation with the
Spanish minister.
If I recollect rightly, by the law of na
tions, if a ncgociator makes a treaty, in
consequence of a power received from a
sovereign authority, non-compliance with
his stipulations is a just cause for war.—
The opposition suggested, (whether
wrong or not, let this house determine)
that this was the case :—That the pro
ceeding was repugnant to the principles
and express letter of the constitution,
and that if the compact which the secre
tary might form with the Spanish min
ister should not be complied with, it
would he giving Spain n just cause of
quarrel. So tlint we should be reduced
to the dilemma of cither violating the
constitution by a compliance, or involv
ing us in war by a non-compliance. The
opposition remonstrated against these
transactions (and their remonstrance was
entered on the journal) and took every
step for securing this great national
right. In the course of debates in Con
gress on this subject, which were warm
and animated, it was urged that Congress,
by tlie law of nations, had no right, even
with the consent of nine states, to dis
member the empire, or relinquish any
part of the territory appertaining to the
aggregate society, to any foreign power.
Territorial dismemberment, or the re
linquishment of any other privilege, is
the highest act of a sovereign power.—
The right ofterritorv hnsever been con
sidered a« most sacred, arid ought to be
guarded in the most particular and cau-
t’ious manner. Whether that navigation
be secure on thi« principle, by the new
constitution, I will not pretend to deter
mine. 1 will, however, say one thing.
It is not well guarded under tlie old sys
tem. A majority of seven states are dis
posed to yield it. 1 speak not of an
particular characters. I have the ch^rj-
(!m roue lily recollect every circumstance re

lace of cotton yet
Steam-Boat, if it
comes at all, may arrive, as it did last
year, just in time to warrant na unfavor
able report of the navigation. One ad
vantage however will be gained by the
delay ; our citizens will have abundant
time to prepare their anniversary dinner
to the 'Engineer, with the accompnny-
inont of tire-works and the ascent of a
balloon, if we can muster among us skill
enough to construct one. . To be serious
however, if the Company expect to hold
unimpaired the privileges they claim, tlie
grant ot which ivas obtained by the gross
est misrepresentation and deception, it
behoves them not to trifle with the com
munity nor with any large portion of it.
ly to Suppose that all mankind act on the I der, and there is almndat
best motives. Suffice it for me tc tell to ln . carrio( , off> The «
direct and plain (acts, and leave fhe con- , „
elusion with this honorable house.
It has been urged by iny honorable
friend Cm the other side, (Mr. Madison)
that the eastern states wore averse to
surrender 4i during the war, and the
southern stales proposed it themselves,
and wished to yield it. My honorable
friend last up lias well accounted fort his
disgraceful offer, and I will account for
the refusal of the eastern slates to sur
render it.
Mr. Chairman, it is no new thing to
you to discover these reasons. It is well
known, that the Newfoundland fisheries
and the Mississippi are balances for one
another —that the possession of one tends
to the preservation of the other. This
accounts for the eastern policy. They
thought that if the Mississippi was given
up, tin' southern states would give up the
rights ofthe fishery, ou which their very
existence depends. It is not extraordin
ary therefore, while these great rights
ofthe fishery depend on such a variety
of circumstances, the issue of war, the
success of negociations, and numerous
other causes, that they should wish to
preserve this great counterbalance.—
What has been their eonduct since the
peace? When relieved from the appre
hensions oflosing that great advantage,
they became solicitous ofsecuring a su
periority of influence in the national
•ouncils. They looked at the true in
terest of nations. Their language has
been—“ Lei us prevent any vera stales
from rising in the western world, or they
will out-vote us—we will lose ovr impor
tance, and become as nothing in the scale
of nations. If we do not prevent it, our
countrymen will remove to those plaecs.
instead of going to sea, and we will receive
no particular tribute or ailvantagefroin
them.” This, sir. has been the language k
spirit oftheir policy & I suppose ever will.
The Mississippi is not secured under the
old confederation ; hut it is better secured
by that system than by the new constitu
tion. By the existing system, nine states
are necessary to yield it. A few states
can give it away by ibe paper on your
table. But I hope it will never be put
in the power of a less number than nine
states. Jersey, we are told, changed
her temper on that great occasion. 1
believe that that mutability depended on
characters. But we have lost another
state—Maryland.—For, from fortuitous
circumstances, those states deviated
from their natural character—Jersey in
not giving up the right of the Mississippi,
and Maryland in giving it up. Whatever
he their object, each departed from her
natural disposition. It is with great re
luctance l have said any thing on this
subject, and if I have misrepresented
facts, 1 wish to be corrected.
Mr. Henri/ then arose, and requested that
the.honorable gent leman (Mr. Monroe)would
discover tlfr- rest of the project, and what
Spain was to do i n her part, as an equiva
lent. Ibr the cession of the Mississippi.

Washington Citv, Feb. 14.
From one or two articles in the Rich
mond Enquirer, last received, we gath
er that there is some excitement among
the Members of. the General Assem
bly of Virginia, now in session, on tlie
rumor, from Washington, of a project
being on foot for a compromise on con-
llictingopinions, in Congress, on the Mis
souri question. There was, a few even
ings ago, a meeting of members of the
Legislature, to nominate fit persons to
compose the Republican ticket of Elec
tors of President and Vice-President of
the United States, at the ensuing elec
tion. That meeting adjourned, without
effecting this object, to n future dav,
with the avowed-intention of awaiting,
before they came to a nomination, furth
er information from Washington res
pecting the Missouri question.
What bearftg this question is to have
on the approaching Presidential Electi
on, we are yet to understand ;* though
this is not the first intimation we have
seen, in the public prints, of a relation
ofthe one question to the other. But,
since the subject of compromise is inen-
tionedTit rtlay be proper to state, that
there has been a good deal of conversa
tion among-the members of Congress on
this subject; and that there are some of
those, most decidedly opposed to inter
fering with tho Constitution of a newstate
in the mode proposed, who are not
adverse to a prohibition of the future
transportation of slaves into the Tcrrito-
riesot'the United States—meaning there
by the territory not included within any
of the States of the Union. This is
what is spoken of as a compromize.
What will he the result, however, of
this whole proceeding, is at present
entirely uncertain.
Haling mentioned the opinions in
Congress on the Missouri question, this
may be a fit occasion to 'say a few words
respecting the a nte in the Senate on the
motion of Mr. Roberts to recommit the
report ofthe committee who recommen
ded the union of Maine and Missouri.
We were, at the time, under the im
pression, that all the Members of the
Senate who voted on that question in the
tommcrdal intercourse between the United negative, were in lavor oi
States and Spain. Wo were to be allowed
to carry our produce to the ports of Spain,,
and the Spaniards to have an equal right of
trading hither. It was stipulated, that there
should he a reciprocity of commercial inter
courses and benefits between the subjects of
Spain, and the citizens of the United S fates.
The manufactures of Spain were to be free
ly imported and vended in this country, and
our manufactures to lie carried to Spain, izc.
without obstruction, and both parties were
to have mutual privileges in point of com
mend it intercourse and connection. This,
sir, is the amount of the project of Spain,
which was looked upon as advantageous to
us. I thought myself, that it was not. I
considered Spain as being without manu
factures—as the most slow in the progress
of arts, and the most unwise with.rasped to
commerce, of all nations under the sun, (in
which respect I thought Great-Blit tin the
wisest.) Their gentlemen and nobles look
on commerce with contempt. No man of
character among them will undertake it.—
They make little discrimination with any
nation,. Their charttetcr is to shut out all
nations, and exclude every intercourse wit-
them, and this would be the case with re
spect to us. Nothing is given to us by this
project, hut what is given to all other nations.
It is bad policy and unjustifiable on such
terms to yield that valuable right. Their
merchants have great stocks in trade. It is
not so with our merchants. Our people re
quire encouragement. Mariners must he
encouraged. On a review of these circum
stances, I thought the project unwise, and
impolitic.
In the last page of our paper, there are
some curious calculations by tlie “Pennsyl
vania Society for the promotion and encou
ragement of national industry,” tending to
shew the extravagant profits of European
manufacturers, and that a single hale of cot
ton may be so managed as to produce, in 20
months, a sum sufficient to buy all the ex
ports ofthe United States. Why then d*
not these expert calculators avail themselves
ofthe advantages to he derived from so lu
crative a business ? The American manu
facturer ran purchase the cotton here at fifty
cent, less thau it costs in Europe, he-
duties on importation, and yet
craves additional protection against the com
petition of foreign traders! That kind of do
mestic. manufacture which can he advantage
ously carried on in every family, we wish to
see flourish—it requires no'protecting duties
for its support—no unjust tax on others to
secure it against foreign competition.
