April 1. 3t 6 NO 7. DEBATE In the House of Representatives, hf tht U. States , in secret session. I'rviui, April 3. (I urnished for the Philadelphia Register hv‘ a number of Congress.) Mr Blcekcr, in a speech of about twenty minutes, made an able, solemn and impres sive address to tile house, urging them td ponder— to desist from the dangerous course they were pursuing, and fonvarned them of* the calamitous consequences that would ini evitnbly result. Mr. Mitcliill, ofNew-York said, in viewing political subjects and dangers, some are ini dined lo look through political microscopes which diminish them ; others, mislead by their imaginations, look through political telescopes, and are as apt to magnify and en hance them. He, for me, was for vietvingour situation with his naked upticks; for looking at it as it rcallv is. Me could not he Considered as less alive to the interests anil happiness of (lie inhabitants of that city, respecting whoni so much sensibility has been expressed, than any other gentlemen. There 4 Were his m. timate friends, connections, and what little property he possessed. No one could feel move for tlieir sufferings under commercial restrictions, or in case of assaults upon it by the enemy. And if he was to consult only his personal sensibilities, they were all lii favor Os the people of that country. \i itii whom we aie to cuter m o a conflict. He. has no’ prejudice against them. H ■ there received his education. He has lived in North and South Britain. From actu. lreskki.ee lie had knowui them from the Grampian Hills to Dover. He know ns them, however, to be a pro <l, overbearing nation.—From former re sdince, and also from recent intelligence, (andthat w ithin a fi-w days by late ainvalsj he know ns they consider us a sort of gem ra tion whom they have a right to despise.—YVe arc vieved in Uiis unworthy degruoed situ. - tion, not on account of our wain of resources or population ; but.because they beiievfe we cam stand together—that we hat? no lotfi deuce m ourselves—that we cannot lead ar mies into then- countries. Their object bus been since the year 1806, o d.vide and dis tract us, and to prevent our taking efficient mvasu.es. Sir, what In s been tlie cause of our present condition .’ I . is well known, tint in 18h6, he was made the organ of his consti tuents, as other gentlemen were for Salem and other camniercial piaces, Vo present to Congress their plaints and wailings, on ac count of their grit vanfccs they suffered upon tiic subject of carrying colonial produce, and the continuity of the voyage. The uixh.vvs of tins house will prove tins. Tiny decreed they shotildbe riihud if tin It.uish dour.re should be countenanced. The government were goaded by these applications for n.iitf. The government began, and Continued wi.h pacific measures, until we have go into oi r present situation. Mr. M. said he would aver, there was never a time when there was more internal goad, more real practical independence, more what the heart desites and can enjoy, in anv civ.i ived nation, tliaii we now enjoy. A population of seven millions the’ artssud manu factures flourishing in a high degree are we then to be frightened Sh> listen to the pclilici t iereech-owis ? W e are the happiest nation on earih. He could to be sure, with a melancholy countenance, go into any family, and give a lecture on the weakness of the flesh, on the caLnntieg of human life, and a miserable exit. But how much better are we off than anv other people? Oor lot has fallen to us in a pleasant p, a ce) and we have a goodly lier.lage. lie saitl he recollected win nhe was a boy) that he ; nd lies companions would get louiid the fi'-es.iii, of a winter’s iv. niug, and talk of ghosts, till they wi rc all afraid to go to bed ; arid the lug .hi ions of the daiq. e r of a war With England, he thought was oi a pa ce with the childish alluded to.. YVitb regard to the nation with whom tve are to contend, and whose prowess is ,-.< t. n i hie in tin opinion of some, he is p : -,i/d io see gentlemen around him, who dared m lr/4 p, enter into the conflict, when we had a pe pulution of only three millions. He did not think anV Ml would he afraid to face a litt.ori whose lnad is of such character one who was, some years since expela cl a Jockei Club and who was lately turned out of doors for his unworthy conduct to his neighbour's wife; (A clapping of hunch) The power v. ith which we are to contend, isSnot so terrific and al mighty as is imagined, Sir, we have intelligence hv the last mails from the Capes of Virg.nia, that the vessels of that nation are capturing cut’s irom*".he. Chesapeake to France, widen two ieaghi of ■ our coast, laden with produce of out own s<M‘ and not contraband of war. Mr. M. said lie was of opinion ih s measure ought to be accompanied with another—wi<h letters of marque and reprisal. We ought to let the cannon accompany the flag. The voice of the cannon ought lo speak the voice of t lu nation, under the stripes of the nation. \Ve ought to have no party feeling. He wished the country might tie united—that all petty divisions about ins and octs may be put aside and that an united front may be opposed. He said he gave his assent to the measure, less under the correctness of his understand ing, than from a respect to the authorities of the countryi When it came recommended by the executive, he did npt feel proud enough to differ—Re therefore yielded to what he thought the rational, proper wish of olhe s. Asa republican, he would comply with the opinion of the majority. It is upon our divisions, and the imbrcili'y of our councils, that our enemy build her hopes. He believes that gennh men who have opposed our measures, have dope it from honi ourabie motives ; but our measures are good enough if we were united. All w. want is • form a phalanx. If united, the work is 6e, and we would then tike a rank amor c nations. But how are ws as a nation ? <ff Ant even get a National Seng, without de
