14104Assuming, then, that this is the real nature of the tax, is it constitutional?
14104CAN CONGRESS TAX THE INCOME FROM STATE AND MUNICIPAL BONDS?
14104Can Congress impose a tax on the exercise of that privilege or franchise?
14104Does Congress possess such a power?
14104How will the women voters meet this test?
14104IS THE FEDERAL CORPORATION TAX CONSTITUTIONAL?
14104IX CAN CONGRESS TAX THE INCOME FROM STATE AND MUNICIPAL BONDS?
14104Is the Constitution hopelessly out of date?
14104Shall the conduct of citizens of Mississippi be prescribed by vote of congressmen from New York, or supervised at the expense of New York taxpayers?
14104Someone may ask,"What effect will the granting of votes to women have on the problem of preserving the constitutional equilibrium?"
14104WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
14104What is the reaction of women voters likely to be toward questions of political theory?
14104What then of the future?
14104What, then, is the privilege with respect to which the tax is imposed?
14104What, then, is this common- law rule which President Taft found so clear?
14104Whatever legal uncertainties have arisen have been chiefly owing to two questions: first, What is_ interstate_ trade within the meaning of the act?
14104Wherein, then, did the novelty and greatness of the Constitution lie?
14104Will an abstract proposition hold its own in their minds against a concrete appeal?
14104Will an educational system suitable for Massachusetts necessarily fit the young of Georgia?
14104Will the people see these things in time?
14104X IS THE FEDERAL CORPORATION TAX CONSTITUTIONAL?
14104XIII WHAT OF THE FUTURE?
14104and second, Did the act enlarge the common- law rule as to what restraints were unlawful?
816Amidst the ruins which surround me, shall I dare to say that revolutions are not what I most fear coming generations?
816But is this really the case?
816But life is slipping away, time is urgent-- to what is he to turn?
816Can anyone fail to recognize the peculiar want of that singular community which was formed for the conquest of the world?
816Can it be wondered that the men of our own time prefer the one to the other?
816Chapter XXIII: Which Is The Most Warlike And Most Revolutionary Class In Democratic Armies?
816Have we more sensibility than our forefathers?
816Is it enough to observe these things separately, or should we not discover the hidden tie which connects them?
816Is this a consequence of contempt of decency or contempt of women?
816Is this the result of accident?
816Out of the pale of the constitution they are nothing: where, when, could they take their stand to effect a change in its provisions?
816That country having no written constitution, who can assert when its constitution is changed?
816Thus they do not presume that they have arrived at the supreme good or at absolute truth( what people or what man was ever wild enough to imagine it?)
816Voulez- vous savoir des nouvelles de Rennes?
816Vous avez donc baise toute la Provence?
816What can be expected of a man who has spent twenty years of his life in making heads for pins?
816What could be said more to the purpose at the present day, when the Revolution has achieved what are called its victories in centralization?
816What is this but aristocracy?
816What more is needed by the venal souls which are born in courts, or which are worthy to live there?
816Whence does this arise?
816Which are wrong?--the French of the age of Louis XIV, or their descendants of the present day?
816Which was right?--the English people of the last century, or the English people of the present day?
816Whilst he was engaged in providing thus kindly for us, how came it that in spit of ourselves we felt our gratitude die upon our lips?
816Why did the Reformers confine themselves so closely within the circle of religious ideas?
816Why should I say more?
816Why then should he confound his life with theirs, and whence should so strange a surrender of himself proceed?
816Why then should they stand so cautiously apart?
816Will nobody undertake to make them understand how what is right may be useful?
816Will the administration of the country ultimately assume the management of all the manufacturers, which no single citizen is able to carry on?
816does the equality of social conditions habitually and permanently lead men to revolution?
816or is there in reality any necessary connection between the principle of association and that of equality?
816or who does not understand what is about to follow, before I have expressed it?
35932All men are bound to obey the laws, of which the Constitution is the supreme; but must they obey them as they are, or as they understand them?
35932Are those who are elected by the people bound to execute it according to the intention of its framers and the understanding of those who ratified it?
35932But_ cui bono_ the vast and expensive apparatus now appertaining to the States?"
35932By what considerations are they to be controlled?
35932Had the State courts degenerated?
35932Has the applicant a right to the commission he demanded?
35932How are they to act in the decision of these questions?
35932If he has a right and that right has been violated, do the laws of his country afford him a remedy?
35932If they do afford him a remedy, is it a mandamus from this court?
35932Is it in that sense sacredly obligatory upon all who are subject to its authority?
35932Nam quis nescit primam esse historiæ legem ne quid falsi dicere audeat?
35932Ne qua simultatis?
35932Ne qua suspicio gratiæ sit in scribendo?
35932Now where was his warrant for these scandalous denunciations?
35932On what grounds?
35932Under such circumstances, I ask, what are they to do?
35932Was Hamilton advised of the application to Jefferson, and was it made with his approbation?
35932Was it the intention of the framers of the Constitution that it should be clothed with other powers, and if so, what are they?
35932Was not this giving up the merits of the question, for can there be a good government without a good executive?
35932What are the true principles that should be applied to the construction of the Constitution?
35932What can I do better than withdraw from the scene?
35932What was the nature and what the extent of Washington''s design in this application?
35932What were they, if not of the character I have suggested?
35932Whence this change?
35932deinde, ne quid veri non audeat?
35932to which I have referred?
27506Was there anything in it, Madam, that you had a mind to answer?
27506_ Alda._ But why are they mischievous? 27506 _ Alda._ Why do you hate them?
27506_ Medon._ Why?--why are they mischievous? 27506 A subject of Louis XIV., did she dare combat at Madrid the plans decided upon at Versailles? 27506 After all, what did the Duke desire, and what were his demands when Mazarin became prime minister? 27506 And Saint Simon knew nothing of all this? 27506 And did such tentative, more strange than audacious, succeed to the extent of binding Philip''s conscience in some way? 27506 And who could have refused her a respite even in the latter moments of her existence? 27506 Assuredly it is not to be found in the human breast; for who could be more certain than I was of the King of Spain''s heart?
27506But had she not, as a set- off to her prodigality, brought to the Duke d''Enghien and his father her share of Richelieu''s wealth?
27506Can it be said that the war she waged against it remained without any result?
27506Did the elderly_ camerara mayor_, already three- score and ten, dare to spread alluring snares wherein to entrap an amorous prince of thirty?
27506Did the young Duchess personally merit that aversion and contempt?
27506How did Italian finesse and cunning blend and harmonize with the quick penetration and delicate tact of the Frenchwoman?
27506How did she consort with an Italian husband?
27506Of what has a good girl to be penitent who has done nothing wrong?
27506The governess of the heir to the crown of Spain, could she concur by her advice in despoiling the infant whose first caresses she was receiving?
27506The question was how to guarantee themselves from that untoward eventuality?
27506Was it an attack of cholera, as was said?
27506Was it the hereditary avarice of the house of Condé which thus revealed itself in the odious sentiment of that unworthy son?
27506Was not one single moment given him?
27506Were they in the plot?
27506What did she do there?
27506What explanation, what palliation, can there be for such an enormous outrage to our common humanity?
27506What mysteries did the Medina Coeli palace witness, in which Madame des Ursins shut up closely Philip V. from the gaze of every prying eye?
27506What passed during the eight months of that widowhood so painfully borne?
27506Whatever might have been the personal merit of the wife of the great Condé, did the little she had justify the wretchedness of her destiny?
27506When Louvois had finished writing, Courtin, with some emotion, asked him what that_ lettre de cachet_ was?
27506Who could tell whether, at that court, before the departure of Marie- Louise had removed all hope, her"position might not be menaced"?
27506Who would have dared to remind her of that imprudent proposal in 1640?
27506With what ambition was she soon inspired in the more elevated position in which her second marriage placed her at Rome?
27506and my son?''
27506did he die upon the spot?
27506if she is such a great lady, why did she condescend to become a_ catin_?
27506mademoiselle, how is my brother?''
27506mademoiselle, my son, my dear boy, answer me, is he dead?''
27506to what sort of occupation, madame, have you destined me?
27506when will this horrible effusion of blood cease?"
27192To what conclusion have you come after so long a silence? 27192 What will you do for me, then?"
27192What will you do?
27192AND now what was the actual position of Mazarin on succeeding to power in 1643?
27192And now what gave birth to the Fronde, or what sustained it?
27192And through what motives?
27192And what was that true cause?
27192But how did the Queen gain over Condé, and what part did Madame de Longueville play in the affair?
27192But of what stamp must have been that soul which could find consolation in all this?
27192But what are promises, marriage vows, or even bonds written in blood?
27192But what_ was_ the party in fact then conspiring against Richelieu?
27192But who would accept that satire literally?
27192Did Condé lose a moment in marching against Turenne and pursuing him sword in hand?
27192Did he look forward to an independent principality, as he later on desired to obtain from the Spaniards?
27192Did he not deceive himself as much and for a far longer period than she?
27192Did he show more address in political strategy or courage in the dangerous strife, more intrepidity and constancy in defeat?
27192Did not the French nobility rise to a man against such a state of things?
27192Did the cleverest consider a position as lost?
27192Frenchmen had begun to ask one another, who_ was_ this Mazarin who had come to rule over them?
27192Has the influence of the sex decreased since the days of the dusky beauty whose irresistible fascinations"----lost a world, and bade a hero fly?"
27192In reality, to what did Condé aspire?
27192In the attack of that position, did Napoleon mean to reproach Condé with want of boldness?
27192Now how far had this_ liaison_ of a few days gone?
27192Or rather did he think of snatching from the Duke d''Orleans the lieutenant- generalship?
27192Rather, is it not infinitely more subtle, wider, and more prevailing than ever?
27192That was sufficient, doubtless, to make everybody tremble, but was it enough to inspire confidence in anyone?
27192The young hero arrested for treason, and prisoner to whom?
27192To commence another Fronde?
27192To constitute himself the head of the nobility against the Court?
27192Under these critical circumstances how did it behove Madame de Chevreuse to act?
27192Was it Madame de Longueville who caused the rupture of the projected marriage between the Prince de Conti and Mademoiselle de Chevreuse?
27192Was it not the party of former coalitions-- of the League, of Austria, and of Spain?
27192What could be more_ diverting_?
27192What more adorable mistress could an audacious aspirant dream of?
27192What roused up the old party of the_ Importants_, stifled for some years, it would seem, under the laurels of Rocroy?
27192What separated the princes of the blood from the Crown?
27192What turned against the throne that illustrious house of Condé, which, until then, had been its sword and shield?
27192Who broke off the contracted engagement?
27192Who destroyed the Fronde by dividing it?
27192Who restored them both and for ever to the Queen and Mazarin?
27192Who struck at and wounded by the self- same blow the Palatine and Madame de Chevreuse?
27192Who, then, prevented it?
35689But,the suffragists ask,"granting that your woman of''normal''life is in the majority, and does n''t want the vote,_ ought n''t_ she to want it?
35689And what did they do?
35689And why did they resort to women''s methods?
35689Are men responsible for the evil of their upbringing?
35689Are these values in the department of government or in the equally essential departments of education, society, and religion?
35689Better government where?
35689But do the suffragist leaders care a jot about the reforms?
35689But if she had just done those things herself-- and in Chicago the women voted just as the men did-- why should the experience be a stimulating one?
35689But would they?
35689But, however such remarks may have been received, is it not a significant fact that they were ventured, by a reputable man, at a reputable gathering?
35689Can any one tell at what moment a child may need unusual attention and thought to guide it aright?
35689Can anyone doubt that radical views are startlingly on the increase?
35689Did she eagerly grasp the chance to plan the city so that it should be a joy and a blessing to its inhabitants for all time?
35689Did they form party organizations?
35689Did they vote about it?
35689Do n''t you think she''s struck a great blow for freedom?"
35689Do we not suspect, indeed, that they are turning to new ideals, because they have never tried the old?
35689Do you wish to have that ideal changed?
35689Does this sort of thing tend to increase woman''s influence in uplifting and benefiting her community?
35689How shall it endure?
35689IX ARE SUFFRAGISTS SINCERE REFORMERS?
35689In order to make it unnecessary for legislators to make"ridiculous concessions"to this type of woman, the World advocates-- what?
35689In what way will our young men be safer because their mothers and their wives have the ballot?
35689Is it not their mothers rather, who should bear the heaviest burden of blame?
35689Is it surprising that the anti- suffragist sees a vast, unexhausted field for woman''s influence outside the political?
35689Is it unfair to say such utterances confuse moral values and weaken the sense of individual responsibility?
35689Is there anything here in the State''s charity work which would make any woman other than proud of its record?
35689Is this insincerity or hypocrisy, or mere aberration of mind?
35689Pankhurst?)
35689Shall we not dream of a united American womanhood?
35689The arraignment is severe, but is it not deserved?
35689The financial side must enter into the problem some time; is n''t the present a good time?
35689The question is, will government by the votes of men and women together produce better results than by men alone?
35689The whole question here is: Is it better for her to do this, or to do the things which men do n''t do?
35689Was this boycotting of the peace movement condemned by the suffragists?
35689We do not promise to do great things for women; why should we?
35689What else does it mean when we say we can not enforce the laws?
35689What have the mothers done in these years?
35689What is happening to moral conditions in San Francisco since women vote?
35689What is the chief lesson of the great war?
35689What is the result?
35689What is the work of women?
35689Who would dare deprive our children of this precious heritage?
35689Why have they failed so lamentably?
35689Why were they not taught to control the other fundamental instinct of life at a time when such a thing was possible?
35689Why?
35689With these scenes in Chicago in mind, do you think he will?
35689Would it increase the power which they already hold?
35689Would they have done it in justifiable numbers?
35689Would woman suffrage give us better teachers?
30051( 2) Will the Bill be drafted in such a way as to admit of amendments introducing women on other terms than men?
30051( 2) Will you vote to submit to the voters an amendment to the constitution enfranchising the women of this State?
30051( 3) Will the Government undertake not to oppose such amendments?
30051... Suffragists frequently ask the question,"If we want to vote why should other people object?"
30051Are the men who are to lead a great party as double- faced and untrustworthy as Mr. Roraback paints them?
30051Are these evidences of a wave rapidly receding?
30051At that time the question,"Will the House pass the bill notwithstanding the objections of the Governor?"
30051By what right do you make this assumption?
30051Did 30,000 go to the polls and fail to vote for anybody or anything?"
30051Do you know of any other State where the entire campaign was carried on by but two paid workers-- a manager and a stenographer?
30051Have they any advice to offer?
30051Here the great need of a State organization was very apparent, as legislators constantly asked,"Where are the suffragists from my district?"
30051How came it there?
30051How can woman''s political influence be brought to bear most effectively on Parliaments and governments?
30051How could such differences, each defended as it was by intense conviction, be united in a common platform?...
30051In a symposium, Why Should Representative Governments Enfranchise Women?
30051Many old- timers said:"What would our State have been without the women?
30051Miss Clay''s address, entitled Who Works Against Woman Suffrage?
30051Mrs. Münter gave an address on the Legal Position of Danish Women; Dr. Elizabeth Altmann Gottheiner, Germany, Does the Working Woman Need the Ballot?
30051Old prospectors back in the mountains when approached and asked for their votes would say:"Do you ladies really want to vote?
30051The Speaker, Stanley G. Allson, instead of asking the usual question"Shall the bill pass?"
30051The founder of Smith College said she was led to leave her fortune for that purpose by reading his article, Ought Women Learn the Alphabet?
30051Then why profess such a burden of personal responsibility in the matter?
30051Then you think it would be much better to give the women the right to vote than the men?
30051They gave everything asked for and inquired,"Is there anything else we can do for you?"
30051War and Woman''s Service; What can we do?
30051Were they laughing in their sleeves as they wrote the solemn pledges in the rest of the national platform?
30051What can Men Do to Help the Movement for Woman Suffrage?
30051What political work have the women of the enfranchised countries done, what is their relation to the different parties and how do these treat them?
30051What should be the relation of the suffrage movement to political parties in the unenfranchised countries?
30051What won the State?
30051Who but women fighting for their freedom could ever have had the courage to keep on?
30051Who led those bloodthirsty mobs?
30051Who shrieked loudest in that hurricane of passion?
30051Who were they?
30051Will you be prepared to put it back?..."
30051With the aid of the National Association 10,000 copies of Mrs. Catt''s leaflet, Do You Know?
30051and furnished envelopes and stamps for them; 14,000 pieces of literature for advanced suffragists; 1,000 copies of Do You Know?
30051put the question"Shall the bill be rejected?"
36579And I suppose you intend to vote the straight ticket right along?
36579And what do you think will follow?
36579Are n''t there any Christians in Congress?
36579Are you a Republican?
36579Are you in earnest?
36579Are you in favor of an autocracy like Germany, or of a limited monarchy like Great Britain? 36579 But I hope you stood up for us?"
36579But,you may say,"should he have stayed on where he was not wanted?"
36579Do they despise us as much as ever?
36579Do you suppose,he growled, while a slight twinkle broke through his scowling eye,"that I would be sweeping here if she was n''t at home?"
36579How are the people abroad thinking of us nowadays?
36579I suppose you have always voted the straight ticket?
36579I wish I could say that I did,he had the effrontery to reply calmly;"but how could I?
36579No ghost where Lincoln fell? 36579 Oh,"he replied, while his little lip quivered,"I like best the old, ragged flags that have been in the battle,--don''t you?"
36579Really?
36579The bright new flags, or the old, ragged flags that have been in the battle?
36579What is the matter, Chester?
36579Where are you going so fast, my little man?
36579Which do you like best, mother?
36579Which do you like best?
36579Why,said the boy quickly,"is n''t that bribery?"
36579And if we decide on a monarchy, where should we get our royal family?
36579And what is more potent in moving the will?
36579Are n''t you afraid it will spoil if you do n''t put it in the ice- chest?"
36579Are the back yards unsanitary?
36579Are the roads bad in your town?
36579Are the schools inferior or managed by politicians?
36579Are the taxes improperly collected?
36579Are the town officers inefficient?
36579But, if we want to become a healthy and powerful people, what is more necessary for us than strong and healthy mothers?
36579CHAPTER VII WORK AS A VITAL PART OF PATRIOTISM Gurowski asked,"Where is the bog?
36579Do n''t you want him to know about tea,--where it grows and how it is prepared for the market?"
36579Do they wish it to look all over like a slum?"
36579Do you exalt in your conversation the prize- fight and the automobile- race?
36579Do you patronize salacious plays?
36579Had he not struck, perhaps, the main reason for the corruption of our politics?
36579Have you not noticed how many laboring men remove their hats when apologizing to you, or offering a seat in a street- car?
36579Have your people no pride in their country?
36579I could n''t deny it, could I?
36579If its government is so rotten that it can not last, what should be done?"
36579Is the air in your parlor or study often thick with tobacco- smoke?
36579Is the town poorly policed?
36579Is wine or beer served there?
36579Must not the night disgorge The ghosts of Bunker Hill, The ghosts of Valley Forge, Or England''s mightier son The ghost of Washington?
36579No ghosts for seeing eyes?
36579Of what use are our hard- won educational advantages, if they are going simply to a band of sickly, half- dead girls and women?
36579One of them asked pleasantly,"Is your mother at home?"
36579Or do you think an oligarchy a better form?
36579Or say,"Excuse me?"
36579Or should we request Europe to send us one?"
36579Should we elect one from candidates that present themselves?
36579Was not that boy deliberately turning over the government of his city to"boodlers"and"grafters"?
36579Was that patriotic?
36579What does one vote amount to anyway?
36579What is that but interest or enthusiasm?
36579What magazines?
36579What newspapers are lying around there?
36579What sort of conversation goes on at your table?
36579What sort of people visit your home?
36579Where do you come from?
36579Why should not every one recite his favorite poem?
36579You may ask,"What do you advise to take the place of the present mode of dress?"
20439Do you mean so satisfy me,Susan replied,"that I would work, and recommend to all women to work... for the success of the third party ticket?...
20439Does not the law of the United States give the slaveholder the ownership of the slave? 20439 Have they done as they promised?"
20439I want to know,shouted Frederick Douglass,"if granting you the right of suffrage will change the nature of our sexes?"
20439IS IT A CRIME FOR A CITIZEN... TO VOTE?
20439Is this your usual manner of serving a warrant?
20439My friends, what are we here for?
20439Oh, if we could but make our meetings ring like those of the antislavery people, would n''t the world hear us? 20439 What can we do to get back into trust in each other?"
20439Who Were the Voters in the Early History of this Country?
20439Why go pell- mell for Grant,asked_ The Revolution_,"when all admit that he is unfit for the position?
20439Why not organize a Women''s National Loyal League?
20439[ 298] She asked,Is the right to vote one of the privileges or immunities of citizens?
20439[ 405]Where is the red shawl?"
20439[ 463] Deeply moved, Anna replied,But how can I promise that?
20439And do n''t you break it every time you help a slave to Canada?
20439Anthony?"
20439Are these cases heavier than a wash tub filled with water and clothes, or the old cheese tubs?...
20439Can it be that my stammering tongue ever will be loosed?"
20439Enthusiastic over her Albany success, she impetuously wrote Lucy Stone,"Is this not a wonderful time, an era long to be remembered?
20439Garrison in his_ Liberator_ had already asked,"Will the South be so obliging as to secede from the Union?"
20439How about the enfranchisement of Negroes by federal amendment or the enfranchisement of foreigners?
20439How can you not be all on fire?
20439How could such women, she asked herself, hope to represent the earnest, hard- working women who must be the backbone of the equal rights movement?
20439I have been asked along the Pacific coast,''What about Woodhull?
20439Impulsively she came to Victoria''s defense at the convention:"I have been asked by many,''Why did you drag Victoria Woodhull to the front?''
20439She wrote to Mrs. Stanton,"Was there ever a more terrific command to a Nation to''stand still and know that I am God''since the world began?
20439THE ONE WORD OF THE HOUR"If we women fail to speak the_ one word_ of the hour,"Susan wrote Anna E. Dickinson,"who shall do it?
20439Taking as her subject,"What Is American Slavery?"
20439Then with mounting impatience, she asked them,"How long will this injustice, this outrage continue?
20439They abused him in their newspapers and he, not to be outdone, ridiculed them in his speeches, shouting,"Where is Wendell Phillips, today?
20439This did not escape her, and always on good terms with the newsmen and informal with her audiences, she called out,"Boys, what is the matter?
20439Turning to the men in the front row, Professor Davies then asked,"What is the pleasure of the convention?"
20439Was Merritt among them?
20439Was it for this reason, Susan asked herself, that Mrs. Woodhull was called a"free- lover,"or did she actually advocate promiscuity?
20439Were they forever to be regarded as children or as lower than persons, along with criminals, idiots, and the insane?
20439What did she think of this?
20439What was it, Susan wondered, that kept them from understanding?
20439When this platform is too narrow for all to stand on, I shall not be on it.... Who is to set up a line?
20439Where is Henry Ward Beecher?
20439Where is Horace Greeley in this Kansas war for liberty?
20439Where is William Lloyd Garrison?
20439Who knows?
20439Why did the federal government interfere in her case, instead of leaving it in the hands of the state of New York?
20439Will the vows be kept to them-- will the girls have equal chances with the boys?
20439Will they return quietly to the plantation and patiently endure the old life of bondage with all its degradation, its cruelties, and wrong?
20439You make her your leader?''
20439[ 293]"Did you have any doubt yourself of your right to vote?"

15691And why should one desire to undertake this arduous responsibility?

15691Are our republican neighbors to the south to be increasingly recognized as under our protection and direction?
15691Are they able to form political judgments?
15691Are they able to make a wise selection of people to represent them in political action?
15691Are we fitted by the genius of our institutions and by our experience to handle a foreign empire?
15691But how can celibate young women, longing toward the towns, give this?
15691But why should a woman be forced to leave teaching because she marries?
15691Had not St. Paul declared:"It is a shame for women to speak in the church"?
15691Has he serious defects that may cause his failure?
15691Has he the honesty to resist the temptation to exploit me?
15691Has he the leadership to command the best efforts of the subordinates in his department?
15691Have they knowledge of the working of political machinery; or, lacking it, are they prepared to obtain it?
15691Have they need of the protection which government gives?
15691Have they need of the training which participation in political life gives?
15691How can these women train safe citizens for the future if they do not understand the processes involved well enough to use them themselves?
15691How could they combine an independent professional or industrial career with the life of a home and the responsibilities of a mother?
15691How does it work in England, where it has been fairly tried?

15691How would such an alliance affect our relation with England''s present ally, Japan?
15691How, then, is good government achieved?
15691If not, what should we do with the Philippines?
15691If so, how are we to maintain the peace and secure payment of their foreign debts?
15691If so, how can it be reached?
15691If so, with what European or Asiatic nations should we seek to strengthen our friendship?
15691In the past, the partnership of marriage has been incomplete on the property side; why not complete it?
15691Is he an opportune man for the time and place?
15691Is the work of the family more petty or monotonous than the work of the factory, shop or office?
15691On what terms or under what guarantees should they be turned over to individuals or companies, if this is to be done?
15691Shall woman in her time of need turn to a state made up of other women, or to a state made up of men?
15691Should a great corporation pay taxes in proportion to its wealth, and in places where the wealth is protected by the law?
15691Should a man with a cash income of$ 50,000 a year pay more to support government than one with a cash income of$ 500?
15691Should churches, museums, libraries and schools be taxed; if not, why not?

15691Should they be thrown away, gambled away, given away as favors, rented, sold, or handled directly by the people?
15691To be a safe citizen one must be able to go beyond this kindly feeling and ask, Does the candidate know enough to do what I want done?

15691When the work is reasonable, how long should a woman work daily?
15691Who can estimate the value of training in coöperative work and organization which the Civil War gave to the American women?
15691Why do women prefer social to domestic service?
15691Why is it so much nobler to care for other people''s children in a social settlement, or in a school, than to care for one''s own in a home?
15691Why is it that women count it an honor to work and starve for an art, but dishonor to undergo privations for their children?
15691Why should women mass themselves together in vast groups as industrial workers, as teachers, as suffragettes?
15691Why then did not the American Revolution pass on to full freedom and opportunity for women?
15691Would a heavy tax on land force unused lands, including mines and waterways, into use?
15691Would an alliance with England probably draw us into her troubles, if she has any, in Egypt or India?
15691Would not married women do much to strengthen and broaden the calling?
15691[ 27] What then should they do?
354Are n''t you ashamed of yourself,she demanded,"to stop just because you have been laughed at once?
354Are you going to pretend,he demanded,"that it was n''t a put- up job?"
354But how can I promise that?
354But why in Heaven''s name does any sensible Englishwoman want a lot of heathen to prostrate themselves as she goes up the street?
354But why?
354But,I insisted,"if you really believe in polygamy, why is it that some of your husbands have not taken more than one wife?"
354Do n''t you know what a right bower is?
354Do you want me to repeat my promise?
354Have n''t I done any good?
354Have you ever tried?
354Her sermon?
354Hev you got anything agin Miss Shaw?
354How did you get here so soon?
354How far up and down?
354How many of you,I then asked,"are polygamous wives?"
354Oh, did you?
354Oh,he said,"why should I go?
354Say, Miss Shaw,he yelled,"do n''t you want these children put out?"
354Suppose your husband should refuse to allow you to preach? 354 Then may I tell him?"
354Think she''s right, do you?
354To New York?
354Was n''t he very much surprised,demanded Miss Anthony, with growing interest,"to discover that he was not dead?"
354Well,I said,"ca n''t you put your finger on that?"
354What d''ye mean?
354What has happened, Anna?
354What must they think of me?
354What''s that?
354What''s the matter with you?
354What?
354When your aura goes visiting in the other world,she asked, curiously,"does it ever meet your old friend Charles Bradlaugh?"
354Why should they mob me?
354Why, did n''t you whistle before her?
354Why, in that case,she said, cheerfully,"you''ll have to give us two boxes, wo n''t you?"
354Will you agree to arrest the men only?
354Would n''t I?
354Would you like to have a son of yours go to Buffalo Bill''s Wild West Show on Sunday?
354You are proud of your family, are you not?
354You are proud of your great line?
354You think you know me, do n''t you?
354You''re not saying that merely to please me?
354A few of them could sing, and we began with a Moody and Sankey hymn or two and the appealing ditty,"Where is my wandering boy to- night?"
354And do n''t you see how ill she is?
354And he demanded, triumphantly,"How is it possible for you to be the husband of a wife?"
354And she added, scornfully,"What event have you got to reckon from?"
354Anthony?"
354But I added:"I hear you said I have n''t done a thing in seven years that any one can lay a finger on?"
354Could she not select one more person, at least, to share the secret and act with me?
354Do you all believe in it?"
354Do you think I want to talk to you?"
354Has that been charged against any other minister here?"
354How can I preach to any one?"
354I asked,"Can the Ethiopian change his spots or the leopard his skin?"
354I had worked my way in the Northwest; why could I not work my way in Boston?
354I was touched by this artless compliment, and anxious to know how I had won it, so I asked,"What did I say that the boys liked?"
354In the old days, when we nominated a candidate we asked,''Can he hold the saloon vote?''
354Is it the desire of suffragists to force upon us the social equality of black and white women?
354Is that it?"
354Livermore''s husband''?"
354Moreover, if it is unnatural, why did Jesus send a woman out as the first preacher?"
354Now we ask,''Can he hold the women''s vote?''
354One day at luncheon Miss Thomas asked me, casually:"By the way, how do you raise the money to carry on your work?"
354Shall I bring some books and read to you?"
354She listened to his words with surprise, and then whispered to"Aunt Susan":"How CAN he say that?
354So I arose and said:"I would like to ask how many men there are in the audience who intend to vote for the amendment to- morrow?"
354Was there, perhaps, some lack in me and in my courage?
354What had I said to give him such an impression?
354What have you got there?"
354What then?"
354What was I doing in that rough country, he demanded, and why was I alone with him in those black woods at night?
354What was he doing in the other world?"
354What would you do to me if I came on board your ship and started a mutiny in your crew, or tried to give you orders?"
354What, then, were we to do?
354When this announcement had produced its full effect, he straightened up in his chair and asked, solemnly,"Will ye have me?"
354When will men learn that what we ask is not praise, but justice?"
354Where DID you get that subject?
354Who knows?
354Why should we not talk all night?
354Why, then, do n''t they deserve as much credit for his election as the women?"
34455And all that were with him?
34455But were the Assembly to do nothing? 34455 Do n''t you know there is a sheriff and a clerk in every county, besides other offices of profit in the country?"
34455Do they manifest their zeal in the cause of religion and humanity by practicing the mild and benevolent precepts of the Gospel of Jesus?... 34455 How dare you take such a text?
34455How do you have the impudence to ride with me with your hat on?
34455How durst you preach such a sermon?
34455I wonder how you dare come into my house yesterday when I was abroad to offer me such an insult?
34455Is it liberty? 34455 Is it not the wise man''s phrase that a gift will blind the eyes of the wise?...
34455Must we and America be two distinct kingdoms, and that now immediately?
34455Tell me your opinion, may not 500 Virginians beat them, we having the same advantages against them the Indians have against us?
34455What can I do?
34455What has there been in the conduct of the British Ministry for the last ten years to justify hope? 34455 What is this?"
34455What, Governor Gooch, do you lift your hat to a slave?
34455Where, some say, is the King of America? 34455 Who hinders you?"
34455Why is it forced on me? 34455 Why, have not many princes lost their dominions so?"
34455After all, men asked, what authority had Loudoun to give such an order?
34455And I think the question may be put to them as the wise King Solomon did to his mother, why do n''t they ask the kingdom or the government also?"
34455And what injury is done them unless... the whole court combine in a barefaced villainy to defraud them?"
34455Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation?
34455Are we sure that it will not be our turn next?
34455Did this mean that the Governor and Council thereafter were to derive their powers, not from the House, but from England?
34455Do not subsequent bills... convince us that the administration is determined to stick at nothing to carry its point?
34455Does he think he is governing the Moors or some other slavish people?
34455Does not the uniform conduct of Parliament for some years past confirm this?...
34455Does your Excellency take me for your rival?
34455Had they been killed by the Indians?
34455Had they fallen victims to disease?
34455Had they starved?
34455How dare you presume to tell me my duty?
34455If so, would the amended bills have to go back to England for the King''s approval?
34455If the King were in Virginia, would not his orders be obeyed?
34455If you let it pass, will you not be ignoring your instructions?
34455In England only property owners could vote, he argued, why have a different practice in Virginia?
34455Is it not easy for the Indians to sneak in between forts to fall upon us and commit their devilish murders?
34455Is it not the right of all Englishmen to address their sovereign?
34455Is it not your duty to reprove them?"
34455Is it right that one who is Governor of the colony should side with her enemies?
34455Is it security to enjoy this wealth when gotten?
34455Is it wealth?
34455Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
34455Is not the attack upon the liberty and property of the people of Boston... a plain and self- evident proof of what they are aiming at?
34455Might he not overthrow their Assembly?
34455Might he not place over them another Dale or Argall to hang men or break them on the wheel?
34455Might not the new arrival be another Spotswood, or even another Nicholson?
34455Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe?
34455Or would Prince Charles be summoned from exile and placed on the throne of his fathers?
34455Or would there be anarchy?
34455Shall we try argument?
34455The question in everyone''s mind was, would the rest of the country follow?
34455Then why not the orders of his Governor?
34455Then, after a pause, he asked:"Mr. Bacon, have you forgot to be a gentleman?"
34455They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also?
34455Was King Charles still raising funds with which to run the government by means of forced loans?
34455Was he still billeting his soldiers on the people?
34455Was liberty to be overthrown?
34455Was martial law in force?
34455We have been trying that for the last ten years.... Shall we resort to entreaty and supplication?
34455Were the Burgesses to have the right of amending bills?
34455Were they to be subjected again to the brutality of a Dale or an Argall?
34455What had happened to them?
34455What have we to oppose them?
34455What must the world think when these good intentions had been in part defeated by a strange kind of misconduct?
34455What right has he or the Privy Council to introduce bills in this Assembly?
34455What would Charles II have thought had Sir William Berkeley written him, boasting of his influence with the Speaker of the House of Burgesses?
34455Who now would lead the people in their struggle to gain their rights?
34455Would another Dale or Argall be sent over for a new reign of terror?
34455Would he follow the example of Harvey in trying to rule like an Eastern despot?
34455Would he take sides in the quarrels which had divided the colony and resume the persecution of one group or the other?
34455Would he try to set himself above the law?
34455Would it not be better to remain, though he be cut in a thousand pieces, than to desert his charge?
34455Would the King abolish the Assembly?
34455Would the weak Richard Cromwell, Thumbledown Dick as he was called in contempt, gain a firm grasp on the reins of state?
34455[ 27]"Why, Sir,"stammered the frightened pastor,"what is the matter?
34455[ 8]"Are not all the places of profit in the hands of the Governor?"
34455poor Virginia, dost thou send away the ministers of Christ with threatening speeches?"
6158And what is that?
6158But will you allow me to attend you, so that the people will not withdraw their confidence?
6158Can not you give me a plain answer to this plain question-- Did it rain yesterday?
6158Did it rain yesterday?
6158Do you ever wonder why poets talk so much about flowers? 6158 Have I time to catch the Hudson River train?"
6158Have you heard nothing to- day?
6158I have promised to be there--_promised_, do you hear? 6158 Is it yesterday you mean?"
6158My good friend, I do n''t know what you mean about the bog; I only asked you whether it rained yesterday?
6158Of what use?
6158Please your honor, I was n''t at the bog at all yesterday,--wasn''t I after setting my potatoes?
6158Pray, sir,continued Smith,"do you believe in a cook?"
6158True enough,was the prompt reply,"but did I not blacken them well?"
6158Well,said the commissary,"do n''t you know why we have given the contract to you?
6158What can be more palpably absurd and ridiculous than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as horses?
6158What do you like, my little girl?
6158What is the secret of success in business?
6158What makes you work so hard?
6158What now was the cause of this heart- rending event? 6158 Why do n''t you send in a bid?"
6158Yes, sir; what do you want?
6158''Charley,''he cried,''what are you doing there?''
6158A few years since, a manly boy about nine years old stepped up to a gentleman in the Grand Central Depot, New York, and asked,"Shine, sir?"
6158After all, would it not appear that the true theory is that of a golden mean between these two extremes?
6158An Irishman, who had neglected to thatch his cottage, was one day asked by a gentleman with whom he was conversing,"Did it rain yesterday?"
6158And why should we not look for full mental development, and for the most perfect moral maturity?
6158And you, little boy, with dirty hands and low forehead,"What do you like?"
6158At the close of dinner one day my father turned everybody out of the cabin, locked the door, and said to me:''David, what do you mean to be?''
6158Bishop Vincent, writing about boyhood, says,"If I were a boy?
6158But always, What is my duty?
6158But where does he eat his lunch at noon?
6158But who says there are no joys in life?
6158Could anything be more beautiful or noble in public life, where jealousy, and selfishness and double- dealing appear to rule the hour?
6158Did he conclude that he had made a mistake in his calling, and dabble in something else?
6158Did he slink out of sight?
6158Did you ever hear of a poet who did not talk about them?
6158Did you ever read the fable of the magician and the mouse?
6158For example: Have you a hot, passionate temper?
6158He did not ask, Will this course win fame?
6158Hearing a young lady highly praised for her beauty, Gotthold asked,"What kind of beauty do you mean?
6158How can he answer for it to his country?
6158How many of us would be alive to- day, if in our earliest years we had not been provided for and watched over with tender care?
6158I said to myself,''Lincoln, when is a thing proved?''
6158If it is not so, how can it so control them as to develop a pure and noble character?
6158If what is imperfect constitutes the exception in the physical world, why should it be otherwise in the world of mind and of morals?
6158Is it a thing to be preferred, to be stunted, and little, and dwarfish, in our intellectual and moral stature?
6158Is not this a queer city?
6158Leave a little baby to take care of itself, and how long do you suppose it would live?
6158Merely that of the body, or that also of the mind?
6158One of the gentlemen then said to him,"What if one of the lights should chance to go out?"
6158Or do we prefer a state of childhood to that of a perfect man?
6158Or was he up and at it again with a determination that knows no defeat?
6158President Lincoln was asked,"How does Grant impress you as a leading general?"
6158Shall I?"
6158Should he be less particular in selecting his companions?
6158Suppose you go out into the street and ask the first person you meet what he likes?
6158The boy remembered the gentleman, and asked him,"Did n''t I shine your shoes once in the Grand Central Depot?"
6158The general, without returning his salute, asked, roughly:"Have you got the powder?"
6158The mere fact of his failure has interest; but how did he take his defeat?
6158The question might be asked,"Why do some forms and colors please, and others displease?"
6158The question to be settled by most of us is, Shall I steer or drift?
6158Then I thought,''What use is it for me to be in a law office if I ca n''t tell when a thing is proved?''
6158Then in the spring, when I had got through with it, I said to myself one day,''Ah, do you know now when a thing is proved?''
6158There may be evidence enough, but wherein consists the proof?
6158To his mind, the first, last, and closest trial question to any living creature is, What do you like?
6158WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD CITIZENSHIP?
6158Was he discouraged?
6158Was it stress of weather, or a contrary wind, or unavoidable accident?
6158Was there a man dismay''d?
6158Washington broke out at first with terrible severity of speech, and then said:"Why did you come back, sir, without it?"
6158What are hardships, ridicule, persecution, toil, or sickness, to a soul throbbing with an overmastering purpose?
6158What constitutes proof?
6158What did he do next?
6158What does he do after supper?
6158What other creature in the world is so helpless as the human infant?
6158What then was the character of these homes?
6158What would become of the world if we could not trust each other''s word?
6158What would now be thought of the greatest chemist or geologist of 1776?
6158What?"
6158When can their glory fade?
6158Where does he go when he leaves his boarding- house at night?
6158Where does he spend his Sundays and holidays?
6158Who does not see that if these men had lost their grip upon themselves, the world would have been deprived of many of its rarest literary treasures?
6158Who ever contemplates stunted growth, or any kind of visible deformity, with complacency and satisfaction?
6158Who ever heard of excuses in football- playing?
6158Why?
6158Will this battle add to my earthly glory?
6158Yankee fashion, it might be answered by the question,"Why do we like sugar and dislike wormwood?"
6158You can take a pretty good measure of his character from that answer, can you not?
6158You young rebel, what are you doing there?
6158he asked, seeing that the youth was apparently thunderstruck,"is it you?"
35016320._ Yes; and why has this power been exercised by"all States and nations,"and"all independent sovereigns"?
35016And do you think they will never get their eyes open to see what blockheads, or impostors, you and your lawmakers are?
35016And why are the lawmakers dangerous to"our liberty"?
35016And why do the employers of home labor advocate this robbery?
35016And why has this been so?
35016And why have all peoples everything to hope from the competition of free labor with free labor?
35016And why have they not told us how false, absurd, and tyrannical are all these lawmaking governments?
35016And why will they do so?
35016And why?
35016And why?
35016And why?
35016And why?
35016Are not all these propositions so self- evident, or so easily demonstrated, that they can not, with any reason, be disputed?
35016Are you prepared to answer that question?
35016But how did the"civilized governments of Europe"become possessed of such"sovereignty"?
35016But will the monopolists of money give up their monopoly?
35016Can any one see any connection between the power of congress"to borrow money,"and its power to establish a monopoly of money?
35016Can you tell me of one that is worse in principle?
35016Could it ever have been necessitated to sell indulgences for crime to either debtors, or creditors, or anybody else?
35016Dare you, or any other man, of common sense and common honesty, dispute the truth of that proposition?
35016Did folly, falsehood, absurdity, assumption, or criminality ever reach a higher point than that?
35016Did you stop to think what that means?
35016Do n''t you think, sir, that you are really the wisest man that ever told"a great and free people"how they could preserve"their liberty"?
35016Do they not make all the scientific discoveries and mechanical inventions, by which all wealth is created?
35016Do you use this phrase to deceive those whom you look upon as being so ignorant, so destitute of reason, as to be deceived by idle, unmeaning words?
35016Had the people ever granted it to them?
35016Have they all been mere blockheads, who never read this amendment, or knew nothing of its meaning?
35016Have you anything to say for any of them?
35016Have you been blind, all these years, to the existence, or the effects, of this monopoly of money?
35016How much is such an argument worth?
35016If there are any such, why do we so seldom, or never, hear of them?
35016If there is no science of justice, how do you know that there is any such principle as justice?
35016If they had possessed this knowledge, how many of them would have ever gone to the field?
35016If this is not asserting the right of congress to abolish altogether men''s natural right to make their own contracts, what is it?
35016If you do say this, by what right, or on what reason, do you proclaim your intention"to do equal and exact justice to all men"?
35016If, now, Marshall did not see, in this amendment, any legal force or authority, what becomes of his reputation as a constitutional lawyer?
35016Is it any wonder that all men live in constant terror of such a government as that?
35016Is it too much to hope for mankind, that they may sometime have courts of justice, instead of such courts of injustice as these?
35016Is not this asserting that governments have all power, and the people no rights?
35016Is not this equivalent to saying that governments have all power, and the people no rights?
35016Is there a government on earth that rests upon a more false, absurd, or tyrannical basis than that?
35016Is there any one of these men, who studies justice as a science, and regards that alone in all his professional exertions?
35016Or have they, too, been perjured tyrants and traitors?
35016Or how do you know what is, and what is not, justice?
35016Or that absolute and irresponsible lawmaking has usurped their place?
35016Thus he says: What is this power?
35016To be entirely candid, do n''t you think, sir, that a surer way of preserving"our liberty"would be to have no lawmakers at all?
35016Was a more absolute, irresponsible government than that ever invented?
35016Was a more shameless avowal ever made?
35016Was a more thorough scheme of national villainy ever invented?
35016Well, suppose, for the sake of the argument, that they have not known what"the obligation of contracts"was, what, then, was their duty?
35016What are these"political parties"but standing armies of robbers, each trying to rob the other, and to prevent being itself robbed by the other?
35016What, then, is a"sovereign"government?
35016What, then, is the remedy?
35016What, then, is to be done?
35016What, then, were these"other rights,"that had not been"enumerated"; but which were nevertheless"retained by the people"?
35016Who appointed him to that trust?
35016Who are ever taxed without their consent?
35016Who are ever taxed?
35016Who can give their consent to be taxed?
35016Who have property that can be taxed?
35016Who, then, are robbed, if taxed without their consent?
35016Why are so many of them so ambitious to become lawmakers and judges themselves?
35016Why have they not told us what impostors and tyrants all these so- called lawmakers, judges, etc., etc., are?
35016Why have they not told us, hundreds of years ago, what are men''s natural rights of person and property?
35016Why, then, is it, that they strike down this right, without ceremony, and without compunction, whenever they are commanded to do so by the lawmakers?
35016Will you dispute the truth of that proposition?
35016Will you dispute the truth of that proposition?
35016Will you dispute the truth of that proposition?
35016Will you dispute the truth of that proposition?
35016Will you dispute the truth of that proposition?
35016Will you dispute the truth of that proposition?
2053Am I my brother''s keeper?
2053Are the States that seceded States in the Union, with no other disability than that of having no legal governments?
2053Are they a national people, really existing outside and independently of their organization into distinct and mutually independent States?
2053Are they the people of the States severally?
2053But in what sense is it true?
2053But what is to be done with the rights of minorities?
2053But where find a nation in this the primitive sense of the word?
2053But who are the people constituting the nation?
2053But who are the people?
2053But who or what determines the country?
2053By majorities?
2053By what right?
2053By what right?
2053By what right?
2053Can a man divest himself of his nature, or lift himself above it?
2053Can my consent, under such circumstances, even if given, be any thing but a forced consent, a consent given under duress, and therefore invalid?
2053Did the sovereignty, which before independence was in Great Britain, pass from Great Britain to the States severally, or to the States united?
2053Do they say reason is natural, and the law of nature is only reason?
2053Extend the power of the government over them?
2053Has it done it without asserting the General government as the supreme, central, or national government?
2053Has it done it without striking a dangerous blow at the federal element of the constitution?
2053Has not one danger been removed only to give place to another?
2053Have they, as yet, solved that problem?
2053How are they constituted, or what the mode and conditions of their political existence?
2053How, from the right of the father to govern his own child, born from his loins, conclude his right to govern one not his child?
2053How, in settling the terms of the compact, will you proceed?
2053If mediately, what is the medium?
2053If partly in the people and partly in the General government, is the part in the General government in Congress, or in the Executive?
2053In suppressing by armed force the doctrine that the States are severally sovereign, what barrier is left against consolidation?
2053In which of these senses is the word to be taken when it is said,"The people are sovereign?"
2053Is it defined and its boundaries fixed?
2053Is it true in a supernatural sense?
2053Is the country the whole territory of the globe?
2053Is the power to reconstruct in the States themselves?
2053Is the remedy in written or paper constitutions?
2053Is the rule of unanimity to be insisted on in the convention and in the government, when it goes into operation?
2053Is the territory indefinite or undefined?
2053Is their reconstruction their erection into new States, or their restoration as States previously in the Union?
2053Is this negro, more like an ape or a baboon than a human being, of the same race with myself?
2053It might have passed to them severally, but did it?
2053Leave them without government?
2053Mediately or immediately?
2053Nay, is he my brother?
2053Shall their identity be revived and preserved, or shall they be new States, regardless of that identity?
2053The freeman asks, why?
2053The government?
2053The great problem of our statesmen has been from the first, How to assert union without consolidation, and State rights without disintegration?
2053The ruler, king, prince, or emperor, holds from God through the people, but how do the people themselves hold from God?
2053The sovereign people?
2053The war has silenced the State sovereignty doctrine, indeed, but has it done so without lesion to State rights?
2053Then, again, the question comes up, who or what determines the territory?
2053Unanimously, or only by a majority?
2053Was Rousseau right in asserting civilization as a fall, as a deterioration of the race?
2053Was the war which followed secession, and which cost so many lives and so much treasure, a civil war or a foreign war?
2053Were the people of the United States who ordained and established the written constitution one people, or were they not?
2053Were these States a part of the American nation, or were they not?
2053What gives to the majority the right to govern the minority who dissent from its action?
2053What is the origin and ground of sovereignty?
2053What is to be done with them?
2053What is to guard against this centralism?
2053What other title to independence and sovereignty, than the fact, can you plead in behalf of any European nation?
2053What people?
2053What right have you to ride in your coach or astride your spirited barb while I am forced to trudge on foot?
2053What then do the people of the several States that seceded lose by secession?
2053What then is the fact?
2053What, then, hinders the State once in the Union from going out or returning to its former condition of territory subject to the Union?
2053When, then, and by what means did they or could they become severally sovereign States?
2053Whence did Rome become a landholder, and the governing people a territorial people?
2053Whence does any nation become a territorial nation and lord of the domain?
2053Whence does government derive its right to govern?
2053Whence does it get its jurisdiction of navigable rivers, lakes, bays, and the seaboard within its territorial limits, as appertaining to its domain?
2053Whence does one- fourth of the population get its right to govern the other three- fourths?
2053Whence its title to vacant or unoccupied lands?
2053Whence, then, comes the sovereign right to govern?
2053Whence, then, does government derive its territorial jurisdiction, and its right of eminent domain claimed by all national governments?
2053Who are the collective people that have the rights of society, or, who are the sovereign people?
2053Who are this people?
2053Who has done it?
2053Why ask me to free him?
2053Will you substitute the rule of the majority, and say the majority must govern?
2053Without government, and destitute alike of habits of obedience and habits of command, how can they initiate, establish, and sustain government?
2053Would the government employ military force to coerce them back to their allegiance?
2053or South Carolina, the land of Rutledge, Moultrie, Laurens, Hayne, Sumter, and Marion?
2053or are they Territories subject to the Union?
2053or is it in the General government?
815How comes it, then, that at the polling- booth this morning I did not perceive a single negro in the whole meeting?
815How comes it,said I,"that you do not put a duty upon brandy?"
815* n How, then, can the inhabitants of the Union be called upon to contribute as largely as the inhabitants of France?
815* p What cause can prevent the United States from having as numerous a population in time?
815Am I then, in contradiction with myself?
815And can you live nowhere but under your own sun?
815And if complete equality be our fate, is it not better to be levelled by free institutions than by despotic power?
815Are there no woods, marshes, or prairies, except where you dwell?
815Are we to be guided by what occurs in New England or in Georgia, in Pennsylvania or in the State of Illinois?
815At what time have we made the forfeit?
815Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wilde beasts, and wilde men?
815But can it be affirmed that the turmoil of revolution is not actually the most natural state of the South American Spaniards at the present time?
815But if the whites and the negroes do not intermingle in the North of the Union, how should they mix in the South?
815But what now remains of those barriers which formerly arrested the aggressions of tyranny?
815But when patrimonial estates are divided, and when a few years suffice to confound the distinctions of a race, where can family feeling be found?
815Does not this sufficiently show how entirely all human power and greatness is in the soul of man?
815From what cause, then, does so startling a difference arise?
815Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own?
815How can a populace, unaccustomed to freedom in small concerns, learn to use it temperately in great affairs?
815How comes it, then, that the American republics prosper and maintain their position?
815How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie be not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed?
815I do not know whether all the Americans have a sincere faith in their religion, for who can search the human heart?
815I have spoken of the emigration from the older States, but how shall I describe that which takes place from the more recent ones?
815If he were free, and obliged to provide for his own subsistence, would it be possible for him to remain without these things and to support life?
815If so, why was not this forfeiture declared in the first treaty of peace between the United States and our beloved men?
815In what part of human tradition can be found anything at all similar to that which is occurring under our eyes in North America?
815In what respect is the country you inhabit better than another?
815Is it credible that the democracy which has annihilated the feudal system and vanquished kings will respect the citizen and the capitalist?
815Is it, then, wonderful that he does not resist such repeated impulses?
815Ought such a jury, which represents society, to have more power than the society in which the laws it applies originate?
815Permit us to ask what better right can the people have to a country than the right of inheritance and immemorial peaceable possession?
815Recourse must be had to some other cause; and what other cause can there be except the manners of the people?
815Shall we, who are remnants, share the same fate?"
815They pay the taxes; is it not fair that they should have a vote?"
815Was it when we were hostile to the United States, and took part with the King of Great Britain, during the struggle for independence?
815What are they to do?
815What great crime have we committed, whereby we must forever be divested of our country and rights?
815What influence could they possess over such men as we have described?
815What resistance can be offered by manners of so pliant a make that they have already often yielded?
815What resistance can be offered to tyranny in a country where every private individual is impotent, and where the citizens are united by no common tie?
815What then is the cause of this strange contrast, and why are the most able citizens to be found in one assembly rather than in the other?
815What urges them to take possession of it so soon?
815When an individual or a party is wronged in the United States, to whom can he apply for redress?
815Whence, then, do their characteristic differences arise?
815Where are we then?
815Who can assure them that they will at length be allowed to dwell in peace in their new retreat?
815Who would not suppose that this poor hut is the asylum of rudeness and ignorance?
815Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation?
815Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground?
815Why, in the Eastern States of the Union, does the republican government display vigor and regularity, and proceed with mature deliberation?
815Will it stop now that it has grown so strong and its adversaries so weak?
815Would it, then, be wise to imagine that a social impulse which dates from so far back can be checked by the efforts of a generation?
815and what can be done with a people which is its own master, if it be not submissive to the Divinity?
815and what would become of its immortality, in the midst of perpetual decay?
815or was it necessary to create federal courts?
815then the blacks possess the right of voting in this county?"
815then the majority claims the right not only of making the laws, but of breaking the laws it has made?"]
815where would that respect which belongs to it be paid, amidst the struggles of faction?
925And if not now, when?
925And should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept?
925And what has been the effect?
925And what object or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the human mind?
925And, after all, why should n''t we believe that?
925Are their rights alone not to be guaranteed by the application of those great principles upon which all our constitutions are founded?
925Are there, indeed, citizens of any of our States who have dreamed of their subjects in the District of Columbia?
925Are we enthralled with material things, less appreciative of the nobility of work and sacrifice?
925Are we nearing the light-- a day of freedom and of peace for all mankind?
925But are we not made better for the effort and sacrifice, and are not those we serve lifted up and blessed?
925But have we changed as a nation even in our time?
925But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else?
925But who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may operate effectively?
925Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws?
925Can anything essential, anything more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds?
925Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others?
925Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends?
925Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind?
925Can we solve the problems confronting us?
925Do my countrymen need any assurance that such a catastrophe is not to overtake them while I possess the power to stay it?
925Does he expect to find among the ruins of this Union a happier abode for our swarming millions than they now have under it?
925Has the sword of despots proved to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in government than enlightened reason?
925Have we found our happy valley?
925How did we accomplish the Revolution?
925How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists cherish or tolerate the incapacities it put upon their communities?
925How sustain and pass with glory through the late war?
925I have asked the Cabinet and my staff a question, and now I put the same question to all of you: If not us, who?
925In explaining my sentiments on this subject it may be asked, What raised us to the present happy state?
925In our own lives, let each of us ask-- not just what will government do for me, but what can I do for myself?
925In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right?
925In the challenges we face together, let each of us ask-- not just how can government help, but how can I help?
925Is a new world coming?
925Is it not possible for us now to make a truce with time by anticipating and accepting its inevitable verdict?
925Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
925Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied?
925Is our world gone?
925Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
925Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only and prevent renewed secession?
925Let us ask again: Have we reached the goal of our vision of that fourth day of March 1933?
925May Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories?
925May we not cherish this sentiment without presumption when we reflect on the characters by which this war is distinguished?
925Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
925On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union?
925One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak-- but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
925Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us?
925Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him?
925Or that we stopped to ask if a sick child had gotten better, and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship?
925Or, shall we continue on our way?
925Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority?
925Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery continue to hang upon the skirts of progress?
925Shall we call this the promised land?
925Shall we pause now and turn our back upon the road that lies ahead?
925That we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us?
925The central question before us is: How shall we use that peace?
925Timidity asks,"How difficult is the road ahead?"
925To how many thousands of our countrymen has it proved a benefit?
925To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
925To what single individual has it ever proved an injury?
925We bring all our wit and all our will to meet the question: How far have we come in man''s long pilgrimage from darkness toward light?
925What are the dangers which menace us?
925What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this?
925What do we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there?
925What does the change mean?
925What has been the progress since that time?
925What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love?
925Who dares fail to try?
925Who has been deprived of any right of person or property?
925Who restrained from offering his vows in the mode which he prefers to the Divine Author of his being?
925Who shall assign limits to the achievements of free minds and free hands under the protection of this glorious Union?
925Who shall live up to the great trust?
925Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
925Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation?
925Will their successors falter and plead organic impotency in the nation?
925Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
925Will you join in that historic effort?
925Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from, will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
925With which should we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly intercourse?
925Without it what are we individually or collectively?
7300Do you refer to polygamy?
7300Now, was ever a cause fought for under conditions more conducive to success? 7300 What is the pleasure of the convention?"
7300A question constantly and properly asked is:"How does woman suffrage work where it is exercised?"
7300And the Czar, and the erratic German Emperor, are they in the evolutionary agreement?
7300As to the other British colonies, what is the situation?
7300At the time of the passing of Mrs. Stanton''s resolutions she said:"But what is marriage?
7300But a question of real interest is, must the political demand made by women be counted as the chief influence in modifying the laws?
7300But has any Suffrage speaker or meeting denounced them, or deprecated the result of the election?
7300But whom do the women propose to substitute?
7300But, suppose all those mentioned were really exempt, how would that apply to women?
7300Can women marry a ballot, or embrace the franchise, otherwise than by a questionable figure of speech?
7300Could union be more completely pictured?
7300Did they do anything of the kind?
7300Did they mean that their property was taxed, and they had no redress?
7300Do I mean by this that every working- woman in the country sees her own value so clearly that she demands enfranchisement?
7300Does Dr. Jacobi mean that in asking for suffrage she does not ask to be as much an independent sovereign as any masculine voter of them all?
7300Does she mean to say that the lawmakers have asked the women if they would consent to remain unfranchised?
7300For, after all, what is government, and what are taxation and representation?
7300Has England consented to it?
7300Has Spain mentioned her resignation of a right to appeal to arms in case she was not pleased with the conduct of our Government in regard to Cuba?
7300Hear you, or not?
7300How came there to be"general improvement in our institutions?"
7300How can that be, when the women who inspired the Suffrage movement, and who began it and still carry it on, proclaimed this as a necessary part?
7300How could men, admitting these words to be divine revelation, ever have preached the subjection of woman?
7300How far was its introduction into these States the result of advanced legislation in accord with true republicanism?
7300How have these bodies answered this long appeal?
7300How long is it since this comfortable state of things was evolved?
7300IS WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEMOCRATIC?
7300IS WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEMOCRATIC?
7300If it was his selfishness that procured woman civil rights and privileges, was it his unselfishness that formerly denied them?
7300If man wanted clinching arguments to prove his superiority, could he find another to match this one which suffrage has furnished him?
7300If women cease to"weep and wail,"will men not cease to be willing to be"furnished by them to the army?"
7300In speaking of the proprieties of life, Paul said:"Does not nature herself teach you?"
7300In the"History"they say:"It is often asked if political equality-- would not arouse antagonism between the sexes?
7300In which have women made most progress, and showed themselves most likely to understand their rights, privileges and duties?
7300Is it likely, then, that he was taking steps in the direction of the destruction of his own home?
7300Is it the"appropriate legislation"that gives to Congress, or to any other body, the power to enforce the article decided upon by a majority?
7300Is there a ruder mind anywhere than one that could not only think but write a sentiment so revolting and so false?
7300Is this the Individualism of Democracy?
7300It has been asked"If it would be best for man to make over half his sovereignty to woman?"
7300It will show the drift of her work in one direction:"''Is my errand sped, and am I a master on earth?''
7300Modern adherents ask,"Is not the next new force at hand in our social evolution to come from the entrance of woman upon the political arena?"
7300Must adultery and infanticide necessarily be favored by the decisions of female jurors?
7300Of course it can be said at once:"Why, multitudes of men never hold office, why should women?"
7300Or speak I to the deaf?"
7300Other women?
7300Senator Hayes asked him if there was no"difference between a person who was disfranchised and one who never had been enfranchised?"
7300She records that"at length President Davies stepped to the front and said in a tremulous, mocking tone,""What will the lady have?"
7300So the question comes, could American women be soldiers?
7300The real test of the working of woman suffrage is to be found in the answer to the question whether better laws have been framed as a consequence?
7300Then, as the historical fact is reversed in our day, and the man is now of the woman, shall his place be one of subjection?
7300Think you, women thus educated would long remain the weak, dependent beings we now find them?
7300To do this would raise the character of man.... Why may not housewifery be reduced to a system as well as the other arts?
7300Utah and New York, Wyoming and Massachusetts, which States do Americans hold up as nearest their model?
7300We control the State.... What am I going to do with my children while I am making the laws for the State?
7300What bearing do these facts have upon my claim that woman suffrage is undemocratic?
7300What did that just accusation mean when our fathers uttered it in regard to English tyranny?
7300What has your chivalry done for the weaker sex?
7300What is its record?
7300What is the verdict?
7300What was the Woman- Suffrage Association doing?
7300When and how did society consent to be governed?
7300When did it agree to be taxed and to be represented?
7300Which State can claim that its action rings truest to the stroke of honest metal in finance and in defence of national honor?
7300Who has shorn man of all his portentous rights?
7300Who were trained by women at the fountain sources and household shrines?
7300Who would enforce it?
7300Who would establish the"special plea"for so large a proportion of the voting population?
7300Why do they not try this way of settling their difficulties?
7300Why not take the shorter course, and ask to have the men do for us what we might do for ourselves if we had the ballot?
7300Why, if woman is a greater political power for good than man, did she not turn it for the principles which the State had held were best?
7300Will any one contend that in the past the married woman has been held in less honor than the unmarried?
7300Would any Suffragist hold that a clergyman was the inferior of men who do sit in the House of Commons?
7300Would the majority of men submit to the minority of men associated with non- combatants?
7300Would the women be any better off, if the men chose that they should not exercise the vote?
8690How comes it then, that at the polling- booth this morning I did not perceive a single negro in the whole meeting?
8690What, then, the blacks possess the right of voting in this country?
8690What, then, the majority claims the right not only of making the laws, but of breaking the laws it has made?
8690Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? 8690 Am I, then, in contradiction with myself? 8690 And can you live nowhere but under your own sun? 8690 And if complete equality be our fate, is it not better to be levelled by free institutions than by despotic power? 8690 Are there no woods, marshes, or prairies, except where you dwell? 8690 At what time have we made the forfeit? 8690 Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wilde beasts, and wilde men? 8690 But can it be affirmed that the turmoil of revolution is not actually the most natural state of the South American Spaniards at the present time? 8690 But if the whites and the negroes do not intermingle in the north of the Union, how should they mix in the south? 8690 But to sum up the whole in one word, can it be possible that our author did not visit the patent office at Washington? 8690 But what now remains of those barriers which formerly arrested the aggressions of tyranny? 8690 But when patrimonial estates are divided, and when a few years suffice to confound the distinctions of a race, where can family feeling be found? 8690 Can they be accused of laboring in the cause of despotism, when they are defending of the revolution? 8690 Does not this sufficiently show that all human power and greatness is in the soul of man? 8690 From what cause, then, does so startling a difference arise? 8690 Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own? 8690 How can a populace, unaccustomed to freedom in small concerns, learn to use it temperately in great affairs? 8690 How comes it, then, that the American republics prosper, and maintain their position? 8690 How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie be not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? 8690 I do not know whether all the Americans have a sincere faith in their religion; for who can search the human heart? 8690 I have spoken of the emigration from the older states, but how shall I describe that which takes place from the more recent ones? 8690 If he were free, and obliged to provide for his own subsistence, would it be possible for him to remain without these things and to support life? 8690 If so, why was not this forfeiture declared in the first treaty which followed that war? 8690 In what part of human tradition can be found anything at all similar to that which is occurring under our eyes in North America? 8690 In what respect is the country you inhabit better than another? 8690 Is it credible that the democracy which has annihilated the feudal system, and vanquished kings, will respect the citizen and the capitalist? 8690 Is it, then, wonderful that he does not resist such repeated impulses? 8690 Ought such a jury, which represents society, to have more power than the society in which the laws it applies originate? 8690 Out of the pale of the constitution, they are nothing; where, then, could they take their stand to effect a change in its provisions? 8690 Permit us to ask what better right can the people have to a country than the right of inheritance and immemorial peaceable possession? 8690 Recourse must be had to some other cause; and what other cause can there be except the manners of the people? 8690 Shall we, who are remnants, share the same fate? 8690 Was it when we were hostile to the United States, and took part with the king of Great Britain, during the struggle for independence? 8690 What are they to do? 8690 What could be said more to the purpose at the present day, when the revolution has achieved what are called its victories in centralization? 8690 What great crime have we committed, whereby we must for ever be divested of our country and rights? 8690 What influence could they possess over such men as we have described? 8690 What resistance can be offered by manners of so pliant a make, that they have already often yielded? 8690 What resistance can be offered to tyranny in a country where every private individual is impotent, and where the citizens are united by no common tie? 8690 What then is the cause of this strange contrast, and why are the most able citizens to be found in one assembly rather than in the other? 8690 What urges them to take possession of it so soon? 8690 When an individual or a party is wronged in the United States, to whom can he apply for redress? 8690 Whence, then, do their characteristic differences arise? 8690 Where are we then? 8690 Who can assure them that they will at length be allowed to dwell in peace in their new retreat? 8690 Who would not suppose that this poor hut is the asylum of rudeness and ignorance? 8690 Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? 8690 Why, in the eastern states of the Union, does the republican government display vigor and regularity, and proceed with mature deliberation? 8690 Will it stop now that it has grown so strong and its adversaries so weak? 8690 Would it, then, be wise to imagine that a social impulse which dates from so far back, can be checked by the efforts of a generation? 8690 [ 176] How, then, can the inhabitant of the Union be called upon to contribute as largely as the inhabitant of France? 8690 [ 299] What cause can prevent the United States from having as numerous a population in time? 8690 and what can be done with a people which is its own master, if it be not submissive to the Divinity? 8690 and what would become of its immortality in the midst of perpetual decay? 8690 or was it necessary to create federal courts? 8690 where would that respect which belongs to it be paid, amid the struggles of faction? 4938 And did our character bring credit to that cause? 4938 And if not now, when? 4938 And should anyone in any case be content that his oath shall go unkept on a merely unsubstantial controversy as to how it shall be kept? 4938 And what has been the effect? 4938 And what object or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the human mind? 4938 And, after all, why should n''t we believe that? 4938 Are their rights alone not to be guaranteed by the application of those great principles upon which all our constitutions are founded? 4938 Are there, indeed, citizens of any of our States who have dreamed of their subjects in the District of Columbia? 4938 Are we enthralled with material things, less appreciative of the nobility of work and sacrifice? 4938 Are we nearing the light-- a day of freedom and of peace for all mankind? 4938 But are we not made better for the effort and sacrifice, and are not those we serve lifted up and blessed? 4938 But have we changed as a nation even in our time? 4938 But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? 4938 But who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may operate effectively? 4938 Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? 4938 Can anything essential, anything more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds? 4938 Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? 4938 Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? 4938 Can we forge against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West, that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? 4938 Can we solve the problems confronting us? 4938 Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? 4938 Do my countrymen need any assurance that such a catastrophe is not to overtake them while I possess the power to stay it? 4938 Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?
4938Does he expect to find among the ruins of this Union a happier abode for our swarming millions than they now have under it?
4938Has the sword of despots proved to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in government than enlightened reason?
4938Have we found our happy valley?
4938How did we accomplish the Revolution?
4938How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists cherish or tolerate the incapacities it put upon their communities?
4938How sustain and pass with glory through the late war?
4938I have asked the Cabinet and my staff a question, and now I put the same question to all of you: If not us, who?
4938In explaining my sentiments on this subject it may be asked, What raised us to the present happy state?
4938In our own lives, let each of us ask-- not just what will government do for me, but what can I do for myself?
4938In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right?
4938In the challenges we face together, let each of us ask-- not just how can government help, but how can I help?
4938Is a new world coming?
4938Is it not possible for us now to make a truce with time by anticipating and accepting its inevitable verdict?
4938Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
4938Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied?
4938Is our world gone?
4938Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
4938Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only and prevent renewed secession?
4938Let us ask again: Have we reached the goal of our vision of that fourth day of March 1933?
4938May Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories?
4938May we not cherish this sentiment without presumption when we reflect on the characters by which this war is distinguished?
4938Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
4938On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union?
4938One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak-- but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it?
4938Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us?
4938Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him?
4938Or that we stopped to ask if a sick child had gotten better, and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship?
4938Or, shall we continue on our way?
4938Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority?
4938Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery continue to hang upon the skirts of progress?
4938Shall we call this the promised land?
4938Shall we pause now and turn our back upon the road that lies ahead?
4938That we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us?
4938The central question before us is: How shall we use that peace?
4938The challenge of our past remains the challenge of our future-- will we be one nation, one people, with one common destiny, or not?
4938Timidity asks,"How difficult is the road ahead?"
4938To how many thousands of our countrymen has it proved a benefit?
4938To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
4938To what single individual has it ever proved an injury?
4938We bring all our wit and all our will to meet the question: How far have we come in man''s long pilgrimage from darkness toward light?
4938What are the dangers which menace us?
4938What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this?
4938What do we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there?
4938What does the change mean?
4938What has been the progress since that time?
4938What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love?
4938Who dares fail to try?
4938Who has been deprived of any right of person or property?
4938Who restrained from offering his vows in the mode which he prefers to the Divine Author of his being?
4938Who shall assign limits to the achievements of free minds and free hands under the protection of this glorious Union?
4938Who shall live up to the great trust?
4938Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
4938Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation?
4938Will their successors falter and plead organic impotency in the nation?
4938Will we all come together, or come apart?
4938Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
4938Will you join in that historic effort?
4938Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from, will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
4938With which should we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly intercourse?
4938Without it what are we individually or collectively?
11982Again, I ask, is it possible to discuss all the laws of a relation, and not touch the relation itself? 11982 Are you one of them?"
11982As we have no conventions,said he,"on hand, what do you say to a ride on horseback this morning?"
11982Before that Committee on Revolutionary Claims why could not this most revolutionary of all claims receive immediate and ample attention? 11982 Dear Eliza:"In a recent letter to Mrs. Miller, speaking of the time when we last met, you say,''Why was Mrs. Stanton so solemn?''
11982Did Miss---- ask you to do so?
11982Did you know that Miss---- had copied that from the book of another young lady?
11982Do not the above citations clearly prove inequality? 11982 Do you think,"said I,"any of your friends would enjoy a present you made at the risk of your health?
11982Doctor,said I,"which do you like best, boys or girls?"
11982Have you any more thoughts to publish on that bread powder?
11982How does thee do Elizabeth?
11982How is my trunk going?
11982In retrospective vision bright, Can you recall dear Martha Wright Without her work or knitting? 11982 Is Marriage a Failure?"
11982Ladies,I said,"it takes me no longer to speak, than you to listen; what have you done with your children the two hours you have been sitting here?
11982Oh,I replied,"is that all?
11982Say you,''These are but the opinions of men''? 11982 Suppose I had not found this out, did you intend to keep silent?"
11982Then why did you not read your own?
11982Well, do you know that I agreed to pay twenty dollars to have that bread powder advertised for one month, and then you condemn it editorially?
11982Well,said I to the landlord,"I must be at Maquoketa at eight o''clock to- night; have you a sleigh, a span of fleet horses, and a skillful driver?
11982Well,said I,"where have you gentlemen been?"
11982What can I do?
11982What do you propose to do?
11982What next?
11982What, pray,said I,"does he know about stoves, sitting in his easy- chair in Washington?
11982Who,said he,"runs this concern?"
11982Why did you not defend yourself on the spot?
11982Why have you allowed yourself to remain in such a false position for a whole week?
11982Why, do n''t you see those boys?
11982Yes, but I would rather have you stay,I replied,"for what can I do when you are gone?"
11982A voice from the corner asked,"Is your bed comfortable?"
11982Are not these delicate matters left wholly to the discretion of courts?
11982Are not women, as a factor in civilization, of more importance than Indians?
11982Are not young women from the first families dragged into our courts,--into assemblies of men exclusively,--the judges all men, the jurors all men?
11982As the historical fact is that, as far back as history dates, the man has been of the woman, should he therefore be forever in bondage to her?
11982But how ended that rebellion of weak colonists?
11982But what is the use, say some, of attaching any importance to the customs and teachings of a barbarous people?
11982Can you give me one good reason, nurse, why a child should be bandaged?"
11982Charlotte, what have you been doing?''
11982Do you not agree with me that a"bread- winner"can be a conscientious reformer?
11982From Coke down to Kent, who can cite one clause of the marriage contract where woman has the advantage?
11982Had I taken the veil in my old age?
11982How can a man know what implements are necessary for the work he never does?
11982How can we discuss all the laws and conditions of marriage, without perceiving its essential essence, end, and aim?
11982How can we get it without involving the arm, is the question?"
11982I exclaimed;"what will you say when he meets you again?"
11982I had just congratulated myself on my power of adaptability to circumstances, when I suddenly started with an emphatic"What is that?"
11982I ran with the rest and exclaimed,"What is it?"
11982I remarked to her, one day,''Are you sure your men vote as they promise?''
11982I said,"what do you mean?"
11982I was scarcely seated when he said:"Mother, do you know anything about babies?"
11982If the leaders in the Republican and abolition camps could deceive us, whom could we trust?
11982In asking for a voice in the government under which we live, have we been pursuing a shadow for fifty years?
11982In seeking political power, are we abdicating that social throne where they tell us our influence is unbounded?
11982In talking with him on that point, he said:"I suppose your nursing mothers drink beer?"
11982Indeed as we run the mind back over the pages of history, what queen came to a more triumphant throne in the hearts of a grateful people?
11982Is there not something very touching in the fact that she never bought a book or picture for her own enjoyment?
11982It may be, however, that I helped them to get ready; who knows?
11982More than that, as I said before, if there is any tribunal that could give undivided time and dignified attention, is it not this committee?
11982My theme was,"What has Christianity done for Woman?"
11982My wife has presented me with eight beautiful children; is not this a better life- work than that of exercising the right of suffrage?"
11982Now I think this child will remain intact without a bandage, and, if I am willing to take the risk, why should you complain?"
11982On what else, I ask, are the hundreds of women depending, who, this hour, demand in our courts a release from burdensome contracts?
11982Or, like high- church Anglicans and Roman Catholics, had I made this my retreat?
11982Recovering myself, I said,"Is it possible, Mrs. Seward, that you agree with me?
11982She said,"Where is yours that you wrote for that day?"
11982She then asked,"Did you copy it from her book?"
11982Should they ride on Sunday?
11982Should women ride?
11982Sitting next to Mrs. Mott, I said:"As there is a Quaker in the chair now, what could he do if the spirit should move you to speak?"
11982Stove pipe in hand he turned to me with a look of surprise, and said:"Do they ever come without spines?"
11982Suppose a child was born where you could not get a bandage, what then?
11982The needles flying in her hands, On washing rags or baby''s bands, Or other work as fitting?
11982Then why, when I was so hard pressed by foes on every side, did you not come to the defense?
11982Wandering through a gorgeous palace one day, she exclaimed,"What do you find to admire here?
11982Was it not an historic scene which was enacted there in that little courthouse in Canandaigua?
11982We naturally asked the question, As Congress has a special committee on the rights of Indians, why not on those of women?
11982We never had experienced anything like this journey, and how could we help being surprised and delighted?
11982Weary of the trials and tribulations of this world, had I gone there to prepare in solitude for the next?
11982What are"God''s intentions"concerning them?
11982What could I do?
11982What could I say to an audience of lunatics?"
11982What do you think ails it?"
11982What is that compared with a good stove 365 days in the year?
11982What is there to pay for the one insertion?"
11982What should they wear?
11982Where did you learn this lesson?"
11982Who can describe the varied audiences and social circles she has cheered and interested?
11982Who can sum up all the ills the women of a nation suffer from war?
11982Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences?
11982Will you get tickets to- day for me, the nurse, and children?"
11982Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor?
2810Can you fix me up?
2810How did you know that O''Brien had got out?
2810What''s the use of discussin''what''s the best kind of money?
2810A philanthropist?
2810Ai n''t I a fine feller?"
2810Ai n''t it great?
2810Ai n''t it perfectly honest to charge a good price and make a profit on my investment and foresight?
2810And what can they do?
2810And why should they?
2810And why?
2810And, by the way, come to think of it, is there really any upstate Democrats left?
2810And, by the way, what''s become of the good government clubs, the political nurseries of a few years ago?
2810Anything dishonest in that?
2810But if there is any real Democrats up the State, what becomes of them on election day?
2810But it did n''t happen, did it?
2810But, after all, what difference would it make?
2810By cuttin''down the expenses of the State Government?
2810Ca n''t you guess what I did then?
2810Could a search party find R. W. G. Welling?
2810Could anything be clearer than that?
2810Did I get up a hook on municipal government and show it to the leader?
2810Did I offer my services to the district leader as a stump- speaker?
2810Did you ever consider that?
2810Did you ever go up to Albany from this city with a delegation that wanted anything from the Legislature?
2810Did you ever see Tammany Hall decorated for a celebration?
2810Do I forget them?
2810Do you ever hear of Cornell, the iron man, in politics now?
2810Do you ever hear of Good Government Club D and P and Q and Z any more?
2810Do you remember the reformers that got up that league?
2810Do you think the people cared for all that guff?
2810Do you understand now, why it is that a reformer goes down and out in the first or second round, while a politician answers to the gong every time?
2810Have you any idea what that means?
2810Have you ever heard of them since?
2810Have you seen the name of Fulton McMahon or McMahon Fulton-- I ai n''t sure which-- in the papers lately?
2810He came after me and said:"George, what do you want?
2810He laughed wild again and said:"Liberty?
2810How are we goin''to provide for the thousands of men who worked for the Tammany ticket?
2810How are you goin''to interest our young men in their country if you have no offices to give them when they work for their party?
2810How are you goin''to keep up patriotism if this thing goes On?
2810How did he do it?
2810How many of them travel on their tongues?
2810How many years were you at college?
2810How much do you want us to take off?"
2810How was that?
2810How, then, can you expect what they call"business men"to turn into politics all at once and make a success of it?
2810How?
2810I know that the civil service humbug is stuck into the constitution, too, but, as Tim Campbell said:"What''s the constitution among friends?"
2810I said to myself:"George, has n''t your chance come?"
2810I went to each of the men and said:"How many of these 250,000 stories do you want?"
2810I went to him and said:"Tommy, I''m goin''to be a politician, and I want to get a followin''; can I count on you?"
2810If I have a good thing to hand out in private life, I give it to a friend-- Why should n''t I do the same in public life?
2810If a corporation sends in a check to help the good work of the Tammany Society, why should n''t we take it like other missionary societies?
2810If it is n''t a fake, then why is n''t the people''s voice obeyed and Tammany men put in all the offices?
2810If opportunities for turnin''an honest dollar comes their''way, why should n''t they take advantage of them, just as I have done?
2810If that''s the case, how can you expect legislators to fare who are not the fathers of the parks, the Washington Bridge, the Speedway and the Viaduct?
2810Is it all a fake that this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people?
2810Is it any wonder that he has a tender spot in his heart for old New York when he is on its salary list the mornin''after he lands?
2810Is it any wonder that scandals do not permanently disable Tammany and that it speedily recovers from what seems to be crushing defeat?
2810Is n''t it right that they should get a share of the campaign money?
2810Is there any part of the Greek language you do n''t know?
2810Is there anything the matter with temperance as a pure business proposition?
2810John Kelly, Richard Croker, and Charles F. Murphy-- what names in American history compares with them, except Washington and Lincoln?
2810Look at all the Tammany heads of city departments?
2810No?
2810Now, how did he come to be lying dead with a Spanish uniform on?
2810Now, what is goin''to happen when civil service crushes out patriotism?
2810Of course, it all cost a pretty penny, but what of that?
2810Once a farmer in Orange County asked him:"How did you do it, Ben?"
2810Or Preble Tucker?
2810Or Richard Croker, or John Kelly, or any other man who has been a real power in the organization?
2810Ought these good people be subjected to the immoral influence of money taken from the saloon tainted money?
2810Say, ai n''t some of the papers awful gullible about politics?
2810Say, honest now; can you answer that argument?
2810Say, that sentence is fine, ai n''t it?
2810See the application?
2810See the distinction?
2810Some persons might say:"But how about it if the hayseed politicians moved down here and went in to get control of the government of the new state?"
2810Somehow, I always guessed about right, and should n''t I enjoy the profit of my foresight?
2810Suppose the city had to depend for the last twenty years on irresponsible concerns like the Citizens''Union, where would it be now?
2810Supposin''Tammany turned over the campaigns to the Hill men and then held off, what would happen?
2810That was beginnin''business in a small way, was n''t it?
2810The end came when I caught him-- what do you think I caught him at?
2810The fact is, that the fillin''in was a good thing for the city, and if it helped the New York Central, too, what of it?
2810The question has been asked: Is a politician ever justified in going''back on his district leader?
2810Then the auctioneer yelled:"How much am I bid for these 250,000 fine pavin''stones?"
2810There was an awful howl by the reformers, but do n''t you know that Tammany gains ten votes for every one it lost by salary raisin''?
2810They did come down here, and what do you think they hit on?
2810They expected to be servin''their city, but when we tell them that we ca n''t place them, do you think their patriotism is goin''to last?
2810They say:"What''s the use of workin''for your country anyhow?
2810Was I done?
2810Was n''t that outrageous?
2810Was n''t that shameful?
2810What I want to know is, what do you call it when I got left and lost a pot of money?
2810What became of the 400 or 500 Citizens''Union enrolled voters in my district?
2810What could be more polite and, at the same time, more to the point?
2810What credit was there in bein''honest under them circumstances''?
2810What did the district leader say then when I called at headquarters?
2810What did the people mean when they voted for Tammany?
2810What do I mean by marketable goods?
2810What do I mean by that?
2810What do you think happened?
2810What is representative government, anyhow?
2810What is there in it for them?
2810What man would n''t rather face a cannon for a minute or two than thirst for four hours, with champagne and beer almost under his nose?
2810What of it?
2810What was the great big black shadow?
2810What will he answer?

14811***** Shall we try to get the grip of monopoly away from our lives, or shall we not?
14811***** Well, then, in this new sense and meaning of it, are we preserving freedom in this land of ours, the hope of all the earth?
14811***** What is liberty?
14811And do our laws take note of this curious state of things?
14811And we are good fellows, we are good company; why does n''t he come along?
14811And what was accomplished?
14811And when we ask,"Where is our prosperity lodged?"
14811And who are outsiders?
14811And whose negligence could conceivably come in there?
14811Are Americans ready to ask the trusts to give us in pity what we ought, in justice, to take?
14811Are these men to continue to stand at the elbow of government and tell us how we are to save ourselves,--from themselves?
14811Are those thoughtful men who fear that we are now about to disturb the ancient foundations of our institutions justified in their fear?
14811Are we children, are we wards, are we still such puerile infants that we have to be fed out of a bottle?
14811Are we going to settle the currency question so long as the government listens only to the counsel of those who command the banking situation?
14811Are you going to invite those inside to stay inside?
14811Are you going to own your own premises, or are you not?
14811Are you not eager for the time when the genius and initiative of all the people shall be called into the service of business?
14811Back of the question, What do you want, lies the question,--the fundamental question of all government,--How are you going to get it?
14811Benevolence, or Justice?
14811But what has made us strong?
14811But what is progress going to do with the past, and with the present?
14811But who gets the tariff tax in this case?
14811Can anybody bring them to account?
14811Can the tariff question be decided in favor of the people, so long as the monopolies are the chief counselors at Washington?
14811Did you ever look into the way a trust was made?
14811Did you ever reflect that that word is almost a new one?
14811Do n''t you know that some man with eloquent tongue, without conscience, who did not care for the nation, could put this whole country into a flame?
14811Do n''t you know that this country from one end to the other believes that something is wrong?
14811Do n''t you realize that that is a blind alley?
14811Do n''t you see by that theory that a man never can get redress for negligence on the part of the employer?
14811Do n''t you see that they must capture the government, in order not to be restrained too much by it?
14811Do our masters of industry speak in the spirit and interest even of those whom they employ?
14811Do they even attempt to distinguish between a man''s act as a corporation director and as an individual?
14811Do we dare stand still?
14811Do you find that in their writings?
14811Do you know, have you had occasion to learn, that there is no hospitality for invention nowadays?
14811Does any man doubt that there are grounds and justifications for discontent?
14811Does any man doubt the great discontent in this country?
14811Does anybody now doubt that it was just as much for the benefit of the Public Service Corporation as for the people of the State?
14811Does that mean that this town is socialistic?"
14811Does that upset any ancient foundations?
14811Does the direct election of Senators touch anything except the private control of seats in the Senate?
14811Does the public deal with that president and that board of directors?
14811For has not every ship that has pointed her prow westward borne hither the hopes of generation after generation of the oppressed of other lands?
14811Had he not felt like a neighbor?
14811Had men not consulted him?
14811Had there been no little circles in which public affairs were discussed?
14811Has anybody gone bankrupt since?
14811Has monopoly been very benevolent to its employees?
14811Have n''t you experienced it?
14811Have the trusts had a soft heart for the working people of America?
14811Have you found trusts that cared whether women were sapped of their vitality or not?
14811Have you found trusts that thought as much of their men as they did of their machinery?
14811Have you found trusts that were keen to protect the lungs and the health and the freedom of their employees?
14811Have you found trusts who are very scrupulous about using children in their tender years?
14811Have you no desire to see the markets opened to all?
14811Have you not noticed the growth of socialistic sentiment in the smaller towns?
14811How are they to be understood by the masters of finance, if only the masters of finance are consulted?
14811How are you going to get public servants who will obtain it for you?
14811How does it endanger the rights of the people, and what do we mean to do in order to make our contest against it effectual?
14811How is it going to treat them?
14811I always feel like replying,"What do_ you_ know about it?
14811I said,"What does that mean?
14811I used to meet men who shrugged their shoulders and said:"What difference does it make how we vote?
14811II WHAT IS PROGRESS?
14811IX BENEVOLENCE, OR JUSTICE?
14811If it is a public game, then why not come out into the open and play it in public?
14811If it is a public game, why play it in private?
14811If there is nothing to conceal, then why conceal it?
14811If we die in trying to feed ourselves, why should we eat?
14811If we die trying to get a foothold in the crowd, why not let the crowd trample us sooner and be done with it?
14811If you want money to build your plant and advertise your product and employ your agents and make a market for it, where are you going to get it?
14811Is it not the most natural and simple thing in the world?
14811Is n''t it about time that we grew up and took charge of our own affairs?
14811Is n''t it true that we know how to make steel in America better than anybody else in the world?
14811Is that freedom?
14811It was probably the same Irishman who, seen digging around the wall of a house, was asked,"Pat, what are you doing?"
14811Liberty for the several parts would consist in the best possible assembling and adjustment of them all, would it not?
14811Monopoly, or Opportunity?
14811Must capture the government?
14811Now, do the workingmen employed by that stock corporation deal with that president and those directors?
14811Or is that your picture of a free, self- governing people?
14811Or why should any man fear competition,--competition either with his fellow- countrymen or with anybody else on earth?
14811Shall we admit that the creature of our own hands is stronger than we are?
14811Shall we not give the people access of sympathy, access of authority, to the instrumentalities which are to be indispensable to their lives?
14811Shall we say that all that we can do is to put government in competition with monopoly and try its strength against it?
14811Shall we withhold our hand and say monopoly is inevitable, that all that we can do is to regulate it?
14811Should it break with them altogether, or rise out of them, with its roots still deep in the older time?
14811So they began to ask:"What is the use of voting?
14811Suppose you consider the citizens of the United States?"
14811Talk of that as inevitable?
14811Talk of that as sound business?
14811The Tariff-"Protection,"or Special Privilege?
14811The government?
14811The moment that begins, there is formed-- what?
14811Then where is your safeguard?
14811Then who is going to convert these men into the chief instruments of justice and benevolence?
14811They said,"What do they know about it?"
14811Through whose instrumentality?
14811VII THE TARIFF--"PROTECTION,"OR SPECIAL PRIVILEGE?
14811VIII MONOPOLY, OR OPPORTUNITY?
14811Very well, then, why was n''t it done?
14811Well, how are they going to raise it?
14811What are the right methods of politics?
14811What are to be the items of our new declaration of independence?
14811What do you mean?
14811What form does the contest between tyranny and freedom take to- day?
14811What good would that do, so long as the Southern Pacific Railroad could substitute others for them?

14811What is the use of having industry, if we perish in producing it?
14811What it liberty?
14811What was in the writings of the men who founded America,--to serve the selfish interests of America?
14811What would our forests be worth without vigorous and intelligent men to make use of them?
14811When did this thing begin?
14811When you have got the market in your hand, does honesty oblige you to turn the palm upside down and empty it?
14811Who are the arch- conservatives nowadays?
14811Who are the men who utter the most fervid praise of the Constitution of the United States and the constitutions of the states?
14811Who have been consulted when important measures of government, like tariff acts, and currency acts, and railroad acts, were under consideration?
14811Who is his employer?
14811Who proposed free trade?
14811Who said free trade?
14811Why are we in the presence, why are we at the threshold, of a revolution?
14811Why did Mr. Gary suggest this very method when he was at the head of the Steel Trust?
14811Why did n''t we get them long ago?
14811Why do the men who do not wish to be disturbed urge the adoption of this program?
14811Why do we continue to permit these things?
14811Why is it that Alaska has lagged in her development?
14811Why is it that we have a labor question at all?
14811Why should any man in free America be afraid of any other man?
14811Why should it be confined to campaign time?
14811Why should political debate go on only when somebody is to be elected?
14811Why should we conserve our natural resources, unless we can by the magic of industry transmute them into the wealth of the world?
14811Why, with unlimited capital and innumerable mines and plants everywhere in the United States, ca n''t they beat the other fellows in the market?
14811Why?
14811Why?
14811Why?
14811With ignominy, or respect?
14811You know the story of the Irishman who, while digging a hole, was asked,"Pat, what are you doing,--digging a hole?"
14811You know your own interest, but who has told you our interests, and what do you know about them?"
14811You say that it does not always work; that the people are too busy or too lazy to bother about voting at primary elections?
14811and every avenue of commercial and industrial activity levelled for the feet of all who would tread it?
14811to see business disentangled from its unholy alliance with politics?
14811to see credit available in due proportion to every man of character and serious purpose who can use it safely and to advantage?
14811to see raw material released from the control of monopolists, and transportation facilities equalized for all?
14811when newcomers with new ideas, new entries with new enthusiasms, independent men, shall be welcomed?
11114Do you desire that your Senators, INGALLS and PLUMB, and your seven Congressmen shall vote for the sixteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution?
11114And to bring that sort of woman on the stage, and to the front, is there not enough work to do, and enough"higher education"to insist on and secure?
11114And was it a penance, or a setting right, or a promise, or all three?
11114Are not all the men protecting you?"
11114Are women''s votes required because men will not legislate away evils that they do not heartily wish away?
11114Are, then, our rights the property of the majority of a disfranchised class to which we may chance to belong?
11114Bring all questions of choice or duty to this test, will it work at the heart of things, among the realities and forces?
11114Bring all questions of choice or duty to this test; will it work at the heart of things, among the realities and forces?
11114California, in her recent convention, prohibits the Legislature hereafter from enacting any law for woman''s suffrage, does it not?
11114Came it from nature?
11114Can not all expect the direct rule of a home?
11114Did the colonies submit?
11114Did women meet in council and voluntarily give up all their claim to be their own law- makers?
11114Did you all pay your taxes and stay at home and refrain from voting because the Covenanters did not vote?
11114Do they all get it?
11114Do you ask the governing of the nation?
11114Do you say, men have their individual work in the world, and all this beside and of it, and that therefore we may?
11114Do you think this would have no influence?
11114Does a man earn a hundred thousand dollars and lie down and die, saying,"It is all my boys''?"
11114Does anybody propose any other, in case it is done at all by the nation?
11114Does not the former and greater include the latter and less?
11114Does the Senator desire to have it read again?
11114Gentlemen of the committee, do you think it possible that an agitation like this can go on and on forever without a victory?
11114Gentlemen of the committee, will you not recognize the importance of the movement?
11114Gentlemen, are we allowed the opportunity of consent?
11114Has it been read this afternoon?
11114Has the millennium yet dawned?
11114Have they not let go the mainsprings to run after and effectually push with pins the refractory cogs upon the wheel- rims?
11114He was out, and what could we do?
11114How could you reject that petition, even were there but one faint voice beseeching your ear?
11114How was that illiteracy brought upon this country?
11114How would you like it?
11114How, then, would you get Legislatures elected to ratify such a constitutional amendment?
11114I will ask the Senator whether he knows that under the laws of Washington Territory that is a legal excuse from serving on a jury?
11114If no amendment be proposed the question is, shall the joint resolution be engrossed for a third reading?
11114If that which is should therefore remain, why abolish the slavery of men?
11114If the right to vote be not that difference, what is?
11114If women were in the Government do you not think they would protect the economic interests of the nation?
11114In our conventions Miss Anthony was in the habit of putting the following questions to vote:"Are you in favor of equal suffrage for women?"
11114Is all progress at an end?
11114Is government corrupted because men desire shield and opportunity for dishonest speculation; authority and countenance for nefarious combinations?
11114Is it because she is a citizen?
11114Is it because the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments made women citizens?
11114Is it expedient?
11114Is it not well that we should have one sex who have no political ends to serve who can fill responsible positions of public trust?
11114Is it not, Senator?
11114Is it of her own, interior, natural relation, putting her at her true advantage, harmonious with the key to which her life is set?
11114Is it to be the director of a hospital?
11114Is it to the presidency of a board of visitors of an eleemosynary institution?
11114Is not that something that tells for us, and for our right?
11114Is not this exactly, perhaps, just now, for the more universal remedial mothering that in this age is the thing immediately needed?
11114Is that the office to which woman suffragists of this country ask us now to admit them?
11114Is there excess of female population?
11114Is there need that she should do both?
11114Is woman needed at the caucuses, conventions, polls?
11114Let the wise Congress of to- day take the eighth chapter and the fourth verse of the Psalms, which says,"What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?"
11114Many admit the justice of our claim, but will say, Is it safe?
11114May I interrupt you?
11114Must she go to the polls, sick or well, baby or no baby, servant or no servant, strength or no strength, desire or no desire?
11114Not your blood; it was the blood of your forefathers; and were they not our forefathers?
11114Now, were all you men disfranchised because that class or sect up in New York would not vote?
11114Only has not the mistake been made of contending with and grappling results, when causes were in their hands?
11114Preconceived opinions, minds made up, men not so easily beguiled to the pure good, you say?
11114Protect them from whom?
11114Purify politics?
11114Purify the sewers?
11114Said I,"Why do you pay your tax?"
11114Said he,"Why do you keep all the time protesting against paying this small tax?"
11114Shall the joint resolution pass?
11114Shall this go on?
11114Shall we look back to that old third chapter of Genesis?
11114She is an old woman now, and where is she?
11114So they have, but, gentlemen, has your sex been more generous in its favors to women than women have been generous toward your sex in their favors?
11114Some of you say to us,"Why not leave this matter for settlement in the different States?"
11114Suppose women would not live in houses, or wear jewels and gowns, that are bought for them out of wicked millions made upon the stock exchange?
11114The question is asked how and what would the women do in the State and nation?
11114The question is, can she do both?
11114The question then arises why is the qualification of masculinity required at all?
11114Then and there was the division made; and to which, can we say, was the empire given?
11114Then you ask why we do not get suffrage by the popular- vote method, State by State?
11114Then, if the same blood courses in our veins that courses in yours, dare you expect us to submit?
11114To secure to the poor forsaken wife the right to her earnings?
11114Was this punishment-- as reflected upon the woman-- or the power of a grand retrieval for her?
11114What does this mean?
11114What has been the strong motive that has taken us away from the quiet and comfort of our own homes and brought us before you to- day?
11114What is politics after all but the science of government?
11114What is the law of woman- life?
11114What man in his senses would take from woman this sphere?

11114What physician will work with lotion and plaster when he can touch, and control, and heal at the very seat of the disease?
11114What reward the nation bestowed to her faithful services?
11114What says the statesman to the propriety of adding this immense mass of ignorance to the voting population of the Union in its present condition?
11114What was she made woman for, and not man?
11114What, then, is the suffrage, and why is it necessary that woman should possess and exercise this function of freemen?
11114Where are the localities in these Territories where the strain upon popular government must come?
11114Where are their large cities?
11114Where else should a true woman be found?
11114Who among you will be our standard- bearer?

11114Who is to care for and train the children while she is absent in the discharge of these masculine duties?
11114Who led those blood- thirsty mobs?
11114Who shrieked loudest in that hurricane of passion?
11114Who stay at home from the election?
11114Whose blood paid for yours?
11114Why did they not ask the negro to do that?
11114Why did they treat those workingmen with respect, and put a greenback plank in their platform, and only table us, and ignore us?
11114Why do not all the fortunate mothers in the land cry out against such a law?
11114Why do you hear no more of women sitting on juries in that Territory?
11114Why is it?
11114Why is the Government, why are the States and the cities, unable to execute those laws?
11114Why not take the yeas and nays on the passage?
11114Why?
11114Why?
11114Will not this apply all the way up, into the arts and the professions even?
11114Will the Senator allow me to ask him a question?
11114Will the women of this country submit?
11114Will you do your duty and give us our liberty, or will you leave it for braver hearts to do what must be done?
11114Will you urge upon the members of the committee the importance of their perusal?
11114Woman quite as apt to make mistakes out of Paradise as in?
11114Would it not be a kind of woman- suffrage to settle the very initials of all that ever bears upon the public question?
11114Would there be no power in that?
11114Would you choose your statesmen?
11114Would you treat it lightly?
11114You may ask,"Do not your husbands protect you?
11114You think there is a majority, as I understand, even in the State of New York, against women suffrage?
11114and amend it by adding,"What is woman, that they never thought of her?"
11114and"Do you desire your Legislature to extend municipal suffrage to women?"
11114but what sort of an office- holder?

15220Are Friends careful to refrain from tale- bearing and detraction?
15220Are Friends careful to send their children to school, and all children in their employ?
15220Do you mean,said this potentate,"to bring down the whole Beecher family on your head?"
15220How came you to step on it?
15220How much you pity?
15220Is this your usual method of serving a warrant?
15220No,was the reply,"do you mean to bring the whole Smith family on to yours?"
15220Oh, is that so? 15220 Where do you find the strongest antipathy to woman suffrage?"
15220Why so,asked Miss Anthony,"when Mrs. Stanton is first vice- president?
15220Will not Greeley and Beecher and Phillips and Tilton advance the money?
15220Yes, I know it,she replied,"and does not the law of the United States give the slaveholder the ownership of the slave?
15220You do n''t expect to keep store without rum, do you? 15220 ''What do I understand is the full order, sir, for your party?'' 15220 2d.--If Mrs. Stanton will not go West to a series of meetings this fall and winter, would you dare undertake it with me alone? 15220 After Phillips had left, she overheard Tilton say to Mrs. Stanton,What does ail Susan?
15220After the merriment had subsided, he continued:"When should this inalienable right of suffrage commence for young men and foreigners?
15220Ah, when my"wild heresies"become"fashionable orthodoxies,"wo n''t my acquaintance be a pleasure to other Rochester people, too?
15220And do n''t you break it every time you help a slave to Canada?"
15220And the result-- will the people save the country they love so well, or will the rulers dig the nation''s grave?
15220And what is our position politically?
15220Are we to put the stamp of truth upon the libel here set forth, that men and women in the matrimonial relation are to be equal?
15220Are we, sir, to give the least countenance to claims so preposterous, disgraceful and criminal as are embodied in this address?
15220As an Abolitionist, therefore, I am for the equal rights movement, and as one of the confessedly oppressed race, how could I be otherwise?
15220At this time Parker Pillsbury wrote to Lydia Mott: Is there work down among you for Susan to do?
15220But how did I get into this dissertation?
15220But the woman''s rights meetings already announced by posters, what should be done in regard to them?
15220But to the question, what good our Union has done?
15220But what is love, tenderness, protection, even, unless rooted in justice?
15220Can a ballot in the hand of woman and dignity on her brow, more unsex her than do a scepter and a crown?
15220Can it be that my stammering tongue ever will be loosed?
15220Can you Republicans so utterly stultify yourselves, can you so entirely work against yourselves, as to refuse us a declaratory law?
15220Can you believe that this state of things can last?
15220Conventions and conventions for fifty years, without a break, planned and managed by one woman-- was there ever a similar record?
15220Could I aid in bringing down this splendid entablature from its proud elevation and trailing it in the dust and dirt that surround the pedestal?

15220Do we not claim that here all men and women are nobles-- all heirs apparent to the throne?
15220Do you remember that text of Scripture, which says,''She who by the plow would thrive, herself must either hold or drive''?

15220Does he see me, will he, can he, come to me in my calm, still moments and gently minister and lift me up into nobler living and working?"
15220Does not Channing deserve the blessing of all the race for his fidelity to the cause of women?
15220During a conversation with General Grant one day on Pennsylvania Avenue, she said,"Well, Mr. President, what are you going to do for woman suffrage?"
15220During this controversy the Utica Herald contained a disgraceful editorial, saying: Who does not feel sympathy for Susan Anthony?
15220George William Curtis accepted her invitation in this characteristic letter: I think of no title for your course, but why have any?
15220Had you not better omit my name in 1869?
15220Has my mind advanced either in Virtue or Literature?
15220Has the prisoner anything to say why sentence shall not be pronounced?
15220Have our minds become improved from passing occurences, or do they remain in that dormant- like state which so often degrades the human soul?
15220Have they done as they promised?
15220Have we the right to say when it shall begin?"
15220He replied:"Do you think after the money has been audited to me, I ought to turn around and give it all to her?"
15220He said:"Do n''t you know the law of Massachusetts gives the father the entire guardianship and control of the children?"
15220How can the work be started?
15220How is this great change to be wrought, who are to urge on this vast work of reform?
15220How many husbands who do not applaud?
15220How many wives do you see who are not acting this tragedy?
15220How will the gods make up my record on home affections?
15220I ask you what sort of peace, what sort of prosperity, have we had?
15220I stated my business and he asked:"What are you driving at?
15220If any say to me,"Why will you agitate the woman question when it is the hour for the black man?"
15220If this may be done in one instance, why may it not in all?
15220If we admit this self- evident proposition, then the question is presented, should it be published during his lifetime?

29870Is not the right of petition a constitutional right?
29870Is not this symbol a mockery while the women of the country are held in political slavery?

29870Is that fair to Americans?
29870Is that the office to which woman suffragists of this country ask us now to admit them?
29870Is the recognition of this right desirable?
29870Is there any reason why women should not have a vote in regard to water- works?

29870The maternal instinct is stronger in the hearts of most women than any moral sense.... What is the suffrage going to do for motherhood?
29870The query persists in thrusting itself upon my mind, why should I be amenable to a law that does not accord me recognition?

29870The question then arises why is the qualification of masculinity required?
29870The text was chosen from Joshua, 1:9:"Have I not commanded thee?

29870Why do I believe it?
29870Why is it that, having accomplished so much, the woman suffrage movement does not force itself as a vital issue into the thoughts of the masses?
29870Why is this true?
29870Why not reach out a hand to woman and say,"Come and help us make the laws and secure fair play"?
29870Why should I go to one- half of the people and ask whether so clear and explicit a declaration as this includes me?
29870Why should man alone determine these conditions which often counteract all the mother''s training?
29870Why should they not participate in the election of officers who are to govern them?
29870Why should they think that we would pick out fools for our husbands?...
29870Why, indeed, should I owe loyalty and allegiance to a Government that stamps my brow with the badge of servility and inferiority?
29870Why, then, this change?
29870Why?
29870Why?
29870Will not voting destroy the womanly instincts?
29870Will not women be contaminated by going to the polls?
29870Will the possession of the ballot multiply and widen these avenues to self- support and independence?
29870Will they not take away employment from men?
29870Will they not, under this influence, in a little while be driven to the wall and obliged to step down and out?
29870Will this House take a step backward on this question?
29870With the freedom she now has, see how she is arousing the public conscience on all questions of right.... What is conservatism?
29870With this mass of prejudice, selfishness and inertia to overcome is there any hope of future success?
29870Without her what is the prospect in this regard?
29870Would not any body of men look upon disfranchisement as"a cruel and degrading penalty?"
29870Would that be considered honorable-- would it be considered tolerable-- even among prize- fighters?
29870Would they have done so if it had proved injurious to their homes?
29870Would this be possible had they been obliged to have the duly recorded permission of a majority of all the men over twenty- one years old?
29870Yet without the weapons of defense what could individuals and nations do in time of war for their own protection?
29870You may ask, What reforms has Wyoming to show?
29870You who have not hitherto been woman suffragists, why not espouse this cause now, when it is in the full flush of its heroic struggle?
29870[ 171] Immediately afterwards the ladies said to one of the members,"Why did you break your pledge to us and vote against the bill?"
29870[ 38] As every private family urgently needs the man and the woman, why are both not needed in this"great aggregation?"
29870[ 39] Do women have no hardships or hazards in time of war?
29870[ 40] If her duties are just as laborious, responsible and important as man''s, do they not entitle her to a voice in the Government?
29870[ 43] Would any man be willing to exchange his influence for that of a woman in the affairs of government?
29870[ 8] If a mother can confer this right on a son, why not on a daughter?
29870[ Which?]
29870and she quickly received the reply,"Why, the hen does not mind it"; and in her heathen innocence she inquired,"Did you ask the hen?"
29870answered the question, Are Women Represented in our Government?
29870but what sort of an office- holder?
29870gave a brilliant address entitled What Answer?
29870gave an eloquent address on The Outlook, answering the four stock questions: Why do not more women ask for the ballot?
29870have you given her an opportunity of saying so?
29870made a strong speech upon Partisan or Patriot?
29870she would answer,"Yes, but have n''t you read my opinion that she can?"
29870suff.?
29870take part in?
1404After all, may not another ground be taken on which this article of the Constitution will admit of a still more ready defense? 1404 Why,"say they,"should we adopt an imperfect thing?
1404( 1) Are we even in a condition to remonstrate with dignity?
1404And how could it have happened otherwise?
1404And how far does this combination characterize the plan which has been reported by the convention?
1404And it is asked by what authority this bold and radical innovation was undertaken?
1404And what are the different classes of legislators but advocates and parties to the causes which they determine?
1404And what is there in all this that can not as well be performed by the national legislature as by a State legislature?
1404And who is there that will either take the trouble or incur the odium, of a strict scrutiny into the secret springs of the transaction?
1404And will he not, from his own interest in that species of property, be sufficiently prone to resist every attempt to prejudice or encumber it?
1404Are fleets and armies and revenues necessary to this purpose?
1404Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of other irregular and violent propensities?
1404Are not the former administered by MEN as well as the latter?
1404Are suppositions of this sort the sober admonitions of discerning patriots to a discerning people?
1404Are the State governments to be stigmatized as tyrannies, because they possess this power?
1404Are there engagements to the performance of which we are held by every tie respectable among men?
1404Are there not aversions, predilections, rivalships, and desires of unjust acquisitions, that affect nations as well as kings?
1404Are they agreed, are any two of them agreed, in their objections to the remedy proposed, or in the proper one to be substituted?
1404Are they not the genuine and the characteristic means by which republican government provides for the liberty and happiness of the people?
1404Are they not the identical means on which every State government in the Union relies for the attainment of these important ends?
1404Are they only to be met with in the towns or cities?
1404Are we afraid of foreign gold?
1404Are we entitled by nature and compact to a free participation in the navigation of the Mississippi?
1404Are we in a condition to resent or to repel the aggression?
1404Are"the wealthy and the well- born,"as they are called, confined to particular spots in the several States?
1404But SUSPICION may ask, Why then was it introduced?
1404But a right implies a remedy; and where else could the remedy be deposited, than where it is deposited by the Constitution?
1404But are they not all that government will admit, and that human prudence can devise?
1404But could an appeal be made to lie from the State courts to the subordinate federal judicatories?
1404But does it follow because there is a power to lay them that they will actually be laid?
1404But even in that case, may he have no object beyond his present station, to which he may sacrifice his independence?
1404But have they considered whether a better form could have been substituted?
1404But is it a just idea?
1404But is not the fact an alarming proof of the danger resulting from a government which does not possess regular powers commensurate to its objects?
1404But it may be again asked, Who is to judge of the NECESSITY and PROPRIETY of the laws to be passed for executing the powers of the Union?
1404But might not his nomination be overruled?
1404But ought not a more direct and explicit provision to have been made in favor of the State courts?
1404But the question again recurs, upon what pretense could he be put in possession of a force of that magnitude in time of peace?
1404But upon what principle is the discrimination of the places of election to be made, in order to answer the purpose of the meditated preference?
1404But was it necessary to give an INDEFINITE POWER of raising TROOPS, as well as providing fleets; and of maintaining both in PEACE, as well as in WAR?
1404But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme?
1404But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?
1404But what is to be the object of this capricious partiality in the national councils?
1404But what would be the contest in the case we are supposing?
1404But where are the means to be found by the President, or the Senate, or both?
1404But whether made by one side or the other, would each side enjoy equal advantages on the trial?
1404But why is the experiment of an extended republic to be rejected, merely because it may comprise what is new?
1404But why, it is asked, might not the same purpose have been accomplished by the instrumentality of the State courts?
1404But will not this also be possessed in sufficient degree by a very few intelligent men, diffusively elected within the State?
1404But would not her navigation be materially injured by the loss of the important advantage of being her own carrier in that trade?
1404By way of answer to this, it has been triumphantly asked, Why not in the first instance omit that ambiguous power, and rely upon the latter resource?
1404By what means is this object attainable?
1404Can it be said that the limits of the United States exceed this distance?
1404Can not the like knowledge be obtained in the national legislature from the representatives of each State?
1404Could the Supreme Court have been relied upon as answering this description?
1404Do the monitors deny the reality of her danger?
1404Do these fundamental principles require, particularly, that no tax should be levied without the intermediate agency of the States?
1404Do they begin by exciting the detestation of the very instruments of their intended usurpations?
1404Do they deny the necessity of some speedy and powerful remedy?
1404Do they require that the members of the government should derive their appointment from the legislatures, not from the people of the States?
1404Do they require that the powers of the government should act on the States, and not immediately on individuals?
1404Do they require that, in the establishment of the Constitution, the States should be regarded as distinct and independent sovereigns?
1404Do we owe debts to foreigners and to our own citizens contracted in a time of imminent peril for the preservation of our political existence?
1404Does the American impose on the Congress appropriations for two years?
1404Does the British Constitution restrain the parliamentary discretion to one year?
1404For what inducement could the Senate have to concur in a preference in which itself would not be included?
1404For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do?
1404From what quarter can the danger proceed?
1404Had not Congress repeatedly recommended this measure as not inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the Confederation?
1404Had not every State but one; had not New York herself, so far complied with the plan of Congress as to recognize the PRINCIPLE of the innovation?
1404Has commerce hitherto done anything more than change the objects of war?
1404Has it been found that bodies of men act with more rectitude or greater disinterestedness than individuals?
1404Has not the spirit of commerce, in many instances, administered new incentives to the appetite, both for the one and for the other?
1404Have republics in practice been less addicted to war than monarchies?
1404Have they, by some miraculous instinct or foresight, set apart in each of them a common place of residence?
1404Have we not had unequivocal experience of its effects in the course of the revolution which we have just accomplished?
1404Here another question occurs: What relation would subsist between the national and State courts in these instances of concurrent jurisdiction?
1404How can it ever possess either energy or stability, dignity or credit, confidence at home or respectability abroad?
1404How can it undertake or execute any liberal or enlarged plans of public good?
1404How can its administration be any thing else than a succession of expedients temporizing, impotent, disgraceful?
1404How can perfection spring from such materials?
1404How can the trade between the different States be duly regulated, without some knowledge of their relative situations in these and other respects?
1404How could recoveries be enforced?
1404How could the Senate confer a benefit upon the President by the manner of employing their right of negative upon his nominations?
1404How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union?
1404How far can they be combined with those other ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense?
1404How shall we prevent a conflict between charity and conviction?
1404How will it be able to avoid a frequent sacrifice of its engagements to immediate necessity?
1404How would it be possible to agree upon a rule of apportionment satisfactory to all?
1404How, and when, and in what proportion shall aids of men and money be afforded?
1404How, in fact, could a majority in the House of Representatives impeach themselves?
1404I ask, What are these principles?
1404If any question is depending in a State legislature respecting one of the counties, which demands a knowledge of local details, how is it acquired?
1404If it should break forth into a storm, who can insure us that in its progress a part of its fury would not be spent upon us?
1404If one was attacked, would the others fly to its succor, and spend their blood and money in its defense?
1404If the latter, in what relation will they stand to the national tribunals?
1404If there should be an army to be made use of as the engine of despotism, what need of the militia?
1404If this be the design of it, who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?
1404If this be their true interest, have they in fact pursued it?
1404If, on the contrary, we ought to exceed this point, where can we stop, short of an indefinite power of providing for emergencies as they may arise?
1404In relation to what objects?
1404In what does our security consist against usurpation from that quarter?
1404In what manner is this influence to be exerted?
1404Is a bill of rights essential to liberty?
1404Is a law proposed concerning private debts?
1404Is a violent and unnatural decrease in the value of land a symptom of national distress?
1404Is an indefinite power to raise money dangerous in the hands of the federal government?
1404Is an indefinite power to raise troops dangerous?
1404Is another object of a bill of rights to define certain immunities and modes of proceeding, which are relative to personal and private concerns?
1404Is commerce of importance to national wealth?
1404Is it a fair comparison?
1404Is it here that suspicion rests her charge?
1404Is it improper and unsafe to intermix the different powers of government in the same body of men?
1404Is it not designed as a method of NATIONAL INQUEST into the conduct of public men?
1404Is it not( we may ask these projectors in politics) the true interest of all nations to cultivate the same benevolent and philosophic spirit?
1404Is it particularly dangerous to give the keys of the treasury, and the command of the army, into the same hands?
1404Is it possible that foreign nations can either respect or confide in such a government?
1404Is it possible that the people of America will longer consent to trust their honor, their happiness, their safety, on so precarious a foundation?
1404Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all?
1404Is it supported by REASON?
1404Is it to be presumed that any other State, at the same or any other given period, will be exempt from them?
1404Is it to be presumed, that at any future septennial epoch the same State will be free from parties?
1404Is it true that force and right are necessarily on the same side in republican governments?
1404Is not a want of co- operation the infallible consequence of such a system?
1404Is not the love of wealth as domineering and enterprising a passion as that of power or glory?
1404Is not the power of the governor, in this article, on a calculation of political consequences, greater than that of the President?
1404Is not this the true light in which it ought to be regarded?
1404Is private credit the friend and patron of industry?
1404Is public credit an indispensable resource in time of public danger?
1404Is respectability in the eyes of foreign powers a safeguard against foreign encroachments?
1404Is the CONSEQUENCE from this doctrine admissible?
1404Is the administration of justice between the citizens of the same State the proper department of the local governments?
1404Is the aggregate power of the general government greater than ought to have been vested in it?
1404Is the danger apprehended from the other branches of the federal government?
1404Is the doctrine warranted by FACTS?
1404Is the importation of slaves permitted by the new Constitution for twenty years?
1404Is the power of declaring war necessary?
1404Is the power of raising armies and equipping fleets necessary?
1404Is this the way in which usurpers stride to dominion over a numerous and enlightened nation?
1404Is this to be exclusive, or are those courts to possess a concurrent jurisdiction?
1404It has been asked, what is meant by"cases arising under the Constitution,"in contradiction from those"arising under the laws of the United States"?
1404It may be asked, Why, then, could not a time have been fixed in the Constitution?
1404It may be asked, perhaps, what has so long kept this disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces?
1404Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?
1404May he have no connections, no friends, for whom he may sacrifice it?
1404Must it of necessity be admitted that this power is infringed, so long as a part of the old articles remain?
1404Or are they the inflammatory ravings of incendiaries or distempered enthusiasts?
1404Or shall we say they may be continued as long as the danger which occasioned their being raised continues?
1404Or to what purpose would it be established, in reference to one branch of the legislature, if it could not be extended to the other?
1404Or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one?
1404Or, if such a trial of firmness between the two branches were hazarded, would not the one be as likely first to yield as the other?
1404Shall domestic manufactures be encouraged, and in what degree, by restrictions on foreign manufactures?
1404Shall it be a week, a month, a year?
1404Shall the Union be constituted the guardian of the common safety?
1404Should the people of America divide themselves into three or four nations, would not the same thing happen?
1404The remaining inquiry is: Does it also combine the requisites to safety, in a republican sense-- a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility?
1404The same house will possess the sole right of instituting impeachments: is not this a complete counterbalance to that of determining them?
1404The true question to be decided then is, whether the smallness of the number, as a temporary regulation, be dangerous to the public liberty?
1404They must therefore depend on the information of intelligent men, in whom they confide; and how must these men obtain their information?
1404This is the form in which the comparison is usually stated to the public: but is it a just form?
1404To what purpose then require the co- operation of the Senate?
1404To what purpose would it be to authorize suits against States for the debts they owe?
1404Upon what principle, then, ought they to be taken into the federal estimate of representation?

1404What is the ability to do a thing, but the power of employing the MEANS necessary to its execution?
1404What is the liberty of the press?
1404What is the power of laying and collecting taxes, but a LEGISLATIVE POWER, or a power of MAKING LAWS, to lay and collect taxes?
1404What is the reason on which this proverbial observation is founded?
1404What is the spirit that has in general characterized the proceedings of Congress?
1404What more could be desired by an enlightened and reasonable people?

1404What relation is to subsist between the nine or more States ratifying the Constitution, and the remaining few who do not become parties to it?
1404What shall we think of the motives which could induce men of sense to reason in this manner?
1404What signifies a declaration, that"the liberty of the press shall be inviolably preserved"?
1404What then are we to understand by the objection which this paper has combated?
1404What then( it may be asked) is the use of such a provision, if it cease to operate the moment there is an inclination to disregard it?
1404What time shall be requisite to ascertain the violation?
1404What will be the conclusion?
1404What will be the consequence, if we are not able to avail ourselves of the resource in question in its full extent?
1404What would be the probable conduct of the government in such an emergency?
1404What, but that he might be unequal to the task which the Constitution assigns him?
1404What, it may be asked, is the true spirit of the institution itself?
1404What, then, are the distinctive characters of the republican form?
1404When armies are once raised what shall be denominated"keeping them up,"contrary to the sense of the Constitution?
1404Whence is the dreaded augmentation of expense to spring?
1404Where else than in the Senate could have been found a tribunal sufficiently dignified, or sufficiently independent?
1404Where in the name of common- sense, are our fears to end if we may not trust our sons, our brothers, our neighbors, our fellow- citizens?
1404Where is the standard of perfection to be found?
1404Where more desirable or more essential than in the first magistrate of a nation?
1404Whether any part of the powers transferred to the general government be unnecessary or improper?
1404Whether the entire mass of them be dangerous to the portion of jurisdiction left in the several States?
1404Which the end; which the means?
1404Which was the more important, which the less important part?
1404Who are to be the electors of the federal representatives?
1404Who are to be the objects of popular choice?
1404Who can determine what might have been the issue of her late convulsions, if the malcontents had been headed by a Caesar or by a Cromwell?
1404Who can give it any definition which would not leave the utmost latitude for evasion?
1404Who can pretend that commercial imposts are, or would be, alone equal to the present and future exigencies of the Union?
1404Who shall command the allied armies, and from which of them shall he receive his orders?
1404Who shall judge of the continuance of the danger?
1404Who shall settle the terms of peace, and in case of disputes what umpire shall decide between them and compel acquiescence?
1404Who would be the parties?
1404Who would be willing to stake his life and his estate upon the verdict of a jury acting under the auspices of judges who had predetermined his guilt?
1404Who would not prefer that possibility to the unceasing agitations and frequent revolutions which are the continual scourges of petty republics?
1404Why has government been instituted at all?
1404Why not amend it and make it perfect before it is irrevocably established?"
1404Why should we consent to bear more than our proper share of the common burden?
1404Why should we do more in proportion than those who are embarked with us in the same political voyage?
1404Will it be said that the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES of the Confederation were not within the purview of the convention, and ought not to have been varied?
1404Will it be said that the alterations ought not to have touched the substance of the Confederation?
1404Will it lean in favor of the landed interest, or the moneyed interest, or the mercantile interest, or the manufacturing interest?
1404Will not the landholder know and feel whatever will promote or insure the interest of landed property?
1404With what color of propriety could the force necessary for defense be limited by those who can not limit the force of offense?
1404Would Connecticut and New Jersey long submit to be taxed by New York for her exclusive benefit?
1404Would he on any occasion either have demanded or have received the like humiliation from Spain, or Britain, or any other POWERFUL nation?
1404Would it have been an improvement of the plan, to have united the Supreme Court with the Senate, in the formation of the court of impeachments?
1404Would not similar jealousies arise, and be in like manner cherished?
1404Would not the mere circumstance of freight occasion a considerable deduction?
1404Would not the principal part of its profits be intercepted by the Dutch, as a compensation for their agency and risk?
1404Would she not have been compelled to raise and to maintain a more regular force for the execution of her design?
1404Would the militia, in this supposition, be more ready or more able to support the federal authority than in the case of a general union?
1404Would there not be the greatest reason to apprehend, that error, in the first sentence, would be the parent of error in the second sentence?
1404Would they not be likely to prefer a conduct better adapted to their own immediate aggrandizement?
18After all, may not another ground be taken on which this article of the Constitution will admit of a still more ready defense? 18 Why,"say they,"should we adopt an imperfect thing?
18And how could it have happened otherwise?
18And how far does this combination characterize the plan which has been reported by the convention?
18And how far does this combination characterize the plan which has been reported by the convention?
18And it is asked by what authority this bold and radical innovation was undertaken?
18And what are the different classes of legislators but advocates and parties to the causes which they determine?
18And what is there in all this that can not as well be performed by the national legislature as by a State legislature?
18And who is there that will either take the trouble or incur the odium, of a strict scrunity into the secret springs of the transaction?
18And who is there that will either take the trouble or incur the odium, of a strict scrunity into the secret springs of the transaction?
18And will he not, from his own interest in that species of property, be sufficiently prone to resist every attempt to prejudice or encumber it?
18Are fleets and armies and revenues necessary to this purpose?
18Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of other irregular and violent propensities?
18Are not the former administered by MEN as well as the latter?
18Are suppositions of this sort the sober admonitions of discerning patriots to a discerning people?
18Are the State governments to be stigmatized as tyrannies, because they possess this power?
18Are there engagements to the performance of which we are held by every tie respectable among men?
18Are there not aversions, predilections, rivalships, and desires of unjust acquisitions, that affect nations as well as kings?
18Are they agreed, are any two of them agreed, in their objections to the remedy proposed, or in the proper one to be substituted?
18Are they not the genuine and the characteristic means by which republican government provides for the liberty and happiness of the people?
18Are they not the identical means on which every State government in the Union relies for the attainment of these important ends?
18Are they only to be met with in the towns or cities?
18Are we afraid of foreign gold?
18Are we entitled by nature and compact to a free participation in the navigation of the Mississippi?
18Are we in a condition to resent or to repel the aggression?
18Are"the wealthy and the well- born,"as they are called, confined to particular spots in the several States?
18But SUSPICION may ask, Why then was it introduced?
18But a right implies a remedy; and where else could the remedy be deposited, than where it is deposited by the Constitution?
18But are they not all that government will admit, and that human prudence can devise?
18But could an appeal be made to lie from the State courts to the subordinate federal judicatories?
18But does it follow because there is a power to lay them that they will actually be laid?
18But even in that case, may he have no object beyond his present station, to which he may sacrifice his independence?
18But have they considered whether a better form could have been substituted?
18But is it a just idea?
18But is not the fact an alarming proof of the danger resulting from a government which does not possess regular powers commensurate to its objects?
18But it may be again asked, Who is to judge of the NECESSITY and PROPRIETY of the laws to be passed for executing the powers of the Union?
18But might not his nomination be overruled?
18But ought not a more direct and explicit provision to have been made in favor of the State courts?
18But the question again recurs, upon what pretense could he be put in possession of a force of that magnitude in time of peace?
18But upon what principle is the discrimination of the places of election to be made, in order to answer the purpose of the meditated preference?
18But was it necessary to give an INDEFINITE POWER of raising TROOPS, as well as providing fleets; and of maintaining both in PEACE, as well as in war?
18But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme?
18But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature?
18But what is to be the object of this capricious partiality in the national councils?
18But what would be the contest in the case we are supposing?
18But where are the means to be found by the President, or the Senate, or both?
18But whether made by one side or the other, would each side enjoy equal advantages on the trial?
18But why is the experiment of an extended republic to be rejected, merely because it may comprise what is new?
18But why, it is asked, might not the same purpose have been accomplished by the instrumentality of the State courts?
18But will not this also be possessed in sufficient degree by a very few intelligent men, diffusively elected within the State?
18But would not her navigation be materially injured by the loss of the important advantage of being her own carrier in that trade?
18By way of answer to this, it has been triumphantly asked, Why not in the first instance omit that ambiguous power, and rely upon the latter resource?
18By what means is this object attainable?
18Can it be said that the limits of the United States exceed this distance?
18Can not the like knowledge be obtained in the national legislature from the representatives of each State?
18Could the Supreme Court have been relied upon as answering this description?
18Do the monitors deny the reality of her danger?
18Do these fundamental principles require, particularly, that no tax should be levied without the intermediate agency of the States?
18Do they begin by exciting the detestation of the very instruments of their intended usurpations?
18Do they deny the necessity of some speedy and powerful remedy?
18Do they require that the members of the government should derive their appointment from the legislatures, not from the people of the States?
18Do they require that the powers of the government should act on the States, and not immediately on individuals?
18Do they require that, in the establishment of the Constitution, the States should be regarded as distinct and independent sovereigns?
18Do we owe debts to foreigners and to our own citizens contracted in a time of imminent peril for the preservation of our political existence?
18Does the American impose on the Congress appropriations for two years?
18Does the British Constitution restrain the parliamentary discretion to one year?
18For what inducement could the Senate have to concur in a preference in which itself would not be included?
18For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do?
18From what quarter can the danger proceed?
18Had not Congress repeatedly recommended this measure as not inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the Confederation?
18Had not every State but one; had not New York herself, so far complied with the plan of Congress as to recognize the PRINCIPLE of the innovation?
18Has commerce hitherto done anything more than change the objects of war?
18Has it been found that bodies of men act with more rectitude or greater disinterestedness than individuals?
18Has not the spirit of commerce, in many instances, administered new incentives to the appetite, both for the one and for the other?
18Have republics in practice been less addicted to war than monarchies?
18Have they, by some miraculous instinct or foresight, set apart in each of them a common place of residence?
18Have we not had unequivocal experience of its effects in the course of the revolution which we have just accomplished?
18Here another question occurs: What relation would subsist between the national and State courts in these instances of concurrent jurisdiction?
18How can it ever possess either energy or stability, dignity or credit, confidence at home or respectability abroad?
18How can it undertake or execute any liberal or enlarged plans of public good?
18How can its administration be any thing else than a succession of expedients temporizing, impotent, disgraceful?
18How can perfection spring from such materials?
18How can the trade between the different States be duly regulated, without some knowledge of their relative situations in these and other respects?
18How could recoveries be enforced?
18How could the Senate confer a benefit upon the President by the manner of employing their right of negative upon his nominations?
18How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union?
18How far can they be combined with those other ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense?
18How far can they be combined with those other ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense?
18How shall we prevent a conflict between charity and judgment?
18How will it be able to avoid a frequent sacrifice of its engagements to immediate necessity?
18How would it be possible to agree upon a rule of apportionment satisfactory to all?
18How, and when, and in what proportion shall aids of men and money be afforded?
18How, in fact, could a majority in the House of Representatives impeach themselves?
18I ask, What are these principles?
18If any question is depending in a State legislature respecting one of the counties, which demands a knowledge of local details, how is it acquired?
18If it should break forth into a storm, who can insure us that in its progress a part of its fury would not be spent upon us?
18If one was attacked, would the others fly to its succor, and spend their blood and money in its defense?
18If the latter, in what relation will they stand to the national tribunals?
18If there should be an army to be made use of as the engine of despotism, what need of the militia?
18If this be the design of it, who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves?
18If this be their true interest, have they in fact pursued it?
18If, on the contrary, we ought to exceed this point, where can we stop, short of an indefinite power of providing for emergencies as they may arise?
18Immediately after this clause follows another in these words:"The President shall have power to fill up??
18Immediately after this clause follows another in these words:"The President shall have power to fill up??
18In relation to what objects?
18In what does our security consist against usurpation from that quarter?
18In what manner is this influence to be exerted?
18Is a bill of rights essential to liberty?
18Is a law proposed concerning private debts?
18Is a violent and unnatural decrease in the value of land a symptom of national distress?
18Is an indefinite power to raise money dangerous in the hands of the federal government?
18Is an indefinite power to raise troops dangerous?
18Is another object of a bill of rights to define certain immunities and modes of proceeding, which are relative to personal and private concerns?
18Is commerce of importance to national wealth?
18Is it a fair comparison?
18Is it here that suspicion rests her charge?
18Is it improper and unsafe to intermix the different powers of government in the same body of men?
18Is it not designed as a method of NATIONAL INQUEST into the conduct of public men?
18Is it not( we may ask these projectors in politics) the true interest of all nations to cultivate the same benevolent and philosophic spirit?
18Is it particularly dangerous to give the keys of the treasury, and the command of the army, into the same hands?
18Is it possible that foreign nations can either respect or confide in such a government?
18Is it possible that the people of America will longer consent to trust their honor, their happiness, their safety, on so precarious a foundation?
18Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all?
18Is it supported by REASON?
18Is it to be presumed that any other State, at the same or any other given period, will be exempt from them?
18Is it to be presumed, that at any future septennial epoch the same State will be free from parties?
18Is it true that force and right are necessarily on the same side in republican governments?
18Is not a want of co- operation the infallible consequence of such a system?
18Is not the love of wealth as domineering and enterprising a passion as that of power or glory?
18Is not the power of the governor, in this article, on a calculation of political consequences, greater than that of the President?
18Is not this the true light in which it ought to be regarded?

18Is the doctrine warranted by FACTS?
18Is the importation of slaves permitted by the new Constitution for twenty years?
18Is the power of declaring war necessary?
18Is the power of raising armies and equipping fleets necessary?
18Is this the way in which usurpers stride to dominion over a numerous and enlightened nation?
18Is this to be exclusive, or are those courts to possess a concurrent jurisdiction?
18It has also been asked, what need of the word"equity What equitable causes can grow out of the Constitution and laws of the United States?
18It has been asked, what is meant by"cases arising under the Constitution,"in contradiction from those"arising under the laws of the United States"?
18It may be asked, Why, then, could not a time have been fixed in the Constitution?
18It may be asked, perhaps, what has so long kept this disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces?
18Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed?
18May he have no connections, no friends, for whom he may sacrifice it?
18Must it of necessity be admitted that this power is infringed, so long as a part of the old articles remain?
18Or are they the inflammatory ravings of incendiaries or distempered enthusiasts?
18Or shall we say they may be continued as long as the danger which occasioned their being raised continues?
18Or to what purpose would it be established, in reference to one branch of the legislature, if it could not be extended to the other?
18Or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one?
18Or, if such a trial of firmness between the two branches were hazarded, would not the one be as likely first to yield as the other?
18Shall domestic manufactures be encouraged, and in what degree, by restrictions on foreign manufactures?

18The remaining inquiry is: Does it also combine the requisites to safety, in a republican sense, a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility?

18The true question to be decided then is, whether the smallness of the number, as a temporary regulation, be dangerous to the public liberty?
18They must therefore depend on the information of intelligent men, in whom they confide; and how must these men obtain their information?
18This is the form in which the comparison is usually stated to the public: but is it a just form?
18To what purpose then require the co- operation of the Senate?
18To what purpose would it be to authorize suits against States for the debts they owe?
18Upon what principle, then, ought they to be taken into the federal estimate of representation?

28556Do you think the majority of women want to vote?
28556Has your wife helped you in any way to earn it?
28556Have I not just brought about a reconciliation between Tammany and the rest of New York?
28556How can we soonest convince the demons that we have rights which must be respected?
28556How long have you been married?
28556How many children have you had?
28556I do not; but is that any reason why you should deprive the one who does? 28556 Is English spoken in Connecticut?"
28556Is it cold in Russia?
28556Is she the only wife you ever had?
28556Mr. President,I exclaimed,"by what right do you refuse to recognize women when their names are called?
28556On what grounds do you refuse?
28556Well, Jo,said Mrs. Stewart,"what did you do?"
28556Where is my shawl? 28556 Why should I,"he continued,"bring this charge?
28556Will not the ballot be used rather by that class who would not use it wisely than by those who are most competent?
28556*** Mr. GARLAND: I should like to ask the senator from California if the courts of the United States can not admit them upon their own motion anyhow?
28556--and I would add with emphasis, Without an education, what is woman?"

28556And having the best means for deciding this question, have they not the right to decide?
28556And how is it if she remains on this until her continued residence upon it has enabled her husband to prove up?
28556And how was this most successful experiment in equal rights received and treated by the press and the people out of the territory?
28556And if it was illegal in women and deserving of punishment, why should men escape?
28556And if so, is it not better for the women delegates to go home?"
28556And if, forsooth, they had, would not each one of you have declared such act unconstitutional and unjust?
28556And now perhaps some materially- minded person will ask,"What are you going to do about it?
28556And now, friends, in view of the present status of our cause, have we not much to encourage us in our work?
28556And the other person I want to speak of?
28556And what is this family impediment which is thus set up as a female disability?

28556And, says Charles Sumner,"What can be more universal than the rights of man?"
28556Are men the only lawful members of this Alliance?
28556Are not all the men protecting you?"
28556Are not the political disabilities of sex as grievous as those of color?
28556Are our women less capable than these?

28556Are the rights of women in all the Southern States, whose slaves are now their rulers, less sacred than those of the men of Louisiana?
28556Are they in your prayers?
28556Are they not rather intelligence, virtue, truth and patriotism?
28556Are you willing to stand a legal prosecution?"
28556As to its justice, who shall deny it?
28556At the house of one of the members a discussion was held on this subject:"Does the Private Character of the Actor Concern the Public?"
28556Before that Committee on Revolutionary Claims why could not this most revolutionary of all claims receive immediate and ample attention?
28556Breathes there a woman with soul so dead that she would bring forth slaves?
28556But do we want such men?
28556But let me ask why, then, a large class of men remained disfranchised after these States again took up local government?
28556But there are some who would say:"Would you have woman enjoy all the political rights of men?"
28556But what is love, tenderness, protection, even, unless rooted in justice?
28556But where slept his"sworn duty"when he recorded his vote in the Senate against woman suffrage?
28556But who will tell me they would not have gained them sooner, with less heart- breaking labor, if they had had the political franchise?
28556But why peer into the future?
28556But would Mr. Leatham guarantee that the 2,000,000 men he proposes to enfranchise shall be perfectly pure and moral men?
28556By brute force alone?
28556By what authority do the police call women"abandoned"and arrest them because they are patrolling any public park or square?
28556By what principle of democracy do men assume to legislate for women?
28556By what right do men declare themselves invested with power to legislate for women?
28556By what right?
28556C. G. Ames concluded the course, November 18, with"What Does it Mean?"
28556Can a future legislature, by the passage of a law not liable to the objection, that it violates the obligation of contracts, take away those rights?
28556Can our friends inform us what is our crime, that we are denied the right of representation?
28556Can the legislature repeal or modify this mandate?
28556Can the sex, ordinarily so quick to pronounce pre- judgments, divest itself of them sufficiently to enter the jury- box with unbiased minds?
28556Can there be any possible danger in trusting those who have trusted us?
28556Can they point to any mental or moral deficiency, to render justifiable our being denied political rights?
28556Certainly they would not be guilty of deceiving, for are they not"all honorable men"?
28556Could any woman withstand that?
28556Could satire go farther?
28556Could the absoluteness of this right be expressed in plainer or more energetic terms?
28556Did his honorable friend ask him to admit that the question deserved the fullest consideration?
28556Did not this woman also suffer?
28556Did not this woman bear her portion of the martyrdom?
28556Did you all pay your taxes and stay at home and refrain from voting because the Covenanters did not vote?
28556Do they deserve the classification?
28556Do they enter into your plans?
28556Do they lie on your hearts?
28556Do they not deserve a share of its glories also?
28556Do you doubt that I would use the ballot in the interests of order, retrenchment, and reform?
28556Do you not believe I feel the duties it demands of its citizens?
28556Do you think such women would not change the laws of inheritance if they had the power?
28556Do you think, gentlemen, said Mrs. Stewart, that such women as attend our conventions, and speak from our platform, could make so ludicrous a blunder?
28556Does Senator Wadleigh know nothing of that woman''s"experience in politics"?
28556Does a man earn a hundred thousand dollars and lie down and die, saying,"It is all my boys''"?
28556Does any one pretend to say that men alone constitute races and peoples?
28556Does it become us to lay additional burdens on those who are already overweighted?"
28556Does it need a prophet to tell us where to begin this work?
28556Does it not affect to control the legislature in the exercise of its powers?
28556Does not the physical and intellectual condition of the women of a nation decide the capacity and power of its men?
28556Does not this suggest reasons why woman should wish to represent herself?
28556Does our constitution provide any remedy whatever?
28556Does she then share in its benefits?
28556Does that mean the ballot_ for men only_ or the ballot_ for the people_, men and women too?
28556Does this prove that Dr. Lord and every other Democrat in the State of Vermont is brutal and ignorant and disloyal?
28556Dr. See-- May we have a season of prayer, sir?
28556Finding ourselves quite in accord, I said,"how did you get those ideas in Georgia?"
28556For what would not the patient, energetic mind of woman accomplish, when once resolved?
28556Freedom to men and women alike is but a question of time-- is America now equal to the great occasion?
28556Gentlemen, what does it all amount to?
28556Graceful return for her devotion, was n''t it?
28556H. R. The question is often asked, why are women so much more desirous than men to see their children educated?
28556Had he ever read:"I will be master of what is my own; She is my goods, my chattels-- My horse, my ox, my ass, my anything"?
28556Has her development expanded to that degree where her legislators can say in very truth, as of the colored man,"Let the oppressed go free"?
28556Have they not equal right with bad men, to self- government?
28556Have you the election law by you?"
28556How can a mother give birth to a noble soul while herself a slave?
28556How can justice be expected from those who instinctively combine to preserve their privilege to abuse women?
28556How can men appreciate their injury?
28556How can men justly judge a woman?
28556How can she impart a free spirit when her own is servile?
28556How can that form of government be called republican in which one- half the people are forever deprived of all participation in its affairs?
28556How can you expect them to develop into patriotic American statesmen?
28556How has woman''s work as county superintendent impressed other educators?
28556How shall they estimate the part we bear in the unbroken line of the nation''s progress?
28556How so?
28556How was this to be accomplished?
28556I ask you, therefore, for the sake of your own question, do you think it wise to pick my apples now?
28556I would add,"What can be more universal than the rights of woman?"
28556If any woman shall ask it, who shall deny it because another woman does not ask it?
28556If he had, we usually troubled him no further; if he had not, we asked,"Can you vote for woman suffrage?"
28556If it is not a crime to be a woman, why are women subjected to unequal payment with men for the same service?
28556If one woman shall ask for a voice in the regulation of society of which she is at least one- half, who shall say her nay?
28556If so, why not do it at once?
28556If the United States has no voters of its own creation in the States, what are these men?
28556If there is nothing new to be said in favor of suffrage for women, is there anything new to be urged against it?
28556If they are more efficient as teachers is it not fair to presume that they would excel as committees?
28556If they are really eligible, then why not have them selected and appointed?
28556If they can be elected to that office, is it proper to say they shall have no voice in the elections?
28556If woman asks for the ballot shall man deny it?
28556If woman may fitly determine this question, for what question of public policy is she unfit?
28556If you bring legislation here, what will you bring?
28556In 1851 an order was introduced asking"whether any legislation was necessary concerning the wills of married women?"
28556In asking for a voice in the government under which we live, have we been pursuing a shadow for forty years?
28556In case it should become necessary, may I rely on your valuable services?
28556In closing, I have only to ask, is there no man here present who appreciates the emergencies of this hour?
28556In closing, he said:"But what think you, sisters, of the dangers that threaten the republic?
28556In fact, unless you show that the exercise of your alleged right will be useful, can you logically conclude that you have any?
28556In replying, read between the lines of my tedious story and bear in mind the words of Voltaire:"Who would dare change a law that time has consecrated?
28556In seeking political power, are we abdicating that social throne where they tell us our influence is unbounded?
28556In the course of their conversation Professor Dwight said;"Do you think girls know enough to study law?"
28556In the first place-- accepting that prophecy as true-- why will women not marry?
28556In thus affirming Mrs. McFarland''s right to marry Mr. Richardson, has the Supreme Court of the United States sanctioned free- love?
28556In view of the terrible corruption of our politics, people ask, can we maintain universal suffrage?
28556In view of these facts, does it not appear that if there is any one distinctively feminine characteristic, it is the mother- instinct for government?
28556In_ The Revolution_ of March 26, 1868, we find the following: It is often asked, would you make women police officers?
28556Is it a matter of regret to us that they should have these aspirations?
28556Is it at all more indelicate for a woman to go to the polls, than it is for her to go to the court- house and pay her taxes?
28556Is it not time that this aristocracy of sex should be overthrown?
28556Is it possible that the editor regards such a relation of protest and disgust as consistent with the unity of Christian marriage?
28556Is not liberty as sweet to her as to him?
28556Is not the same principle involved in both cases?
28556Is she then half owner of the land?
28556Is the Republican party therefore"low company"?
28556Is the ballot more precious than the soul of your child?
28556Is the meaning this, that all citizens shall have the right to vote, or simply that citizenship shall be the basis of suffrage?
28556Is the oppression to last forever?
28556Is there any remedy?
28556Is there no one among you who will rise on the floor of congress as the champion of this unrepresented half of the people of the United States?
28556Is this all woman is to do?
28556Is to be a wife and mother, and nothing else, the sole end and aim of woman?
28556It has recently been asked in congressional debates,"What is the grand idea of the centennial?"
28556It is a pertinent question now, shall all other contradictory principles be retained in the constitution until they, too, are expounded by civil war?
28556It was impossible, he was out, and what could they do?
28556Just here, in imagination, is heard the question,"How much help could we expect from women on financial questions?"
28556MARY A. STEWART of Delaware said: The negroes are a race inferior, you must admit, to your daughters, and yet that race has the ballot, and why?
28556May I ask you to bring to that labor as fair a spirit, as unprejudiced an outlook, as just a decision as he would have done?
28556May this not be one reason why the Swedish legislature has been so liberal toward women?
28556Men of Melrose, Concord and Malden, why persecute us?
28556Miss SMITH said:_ Gentlemen of the Committee_--This is the first time in my life that I have trod these halls, and what has brought me here?
28556More than that, as I said before, if there is any tribunal that could give undivided time and dignified attention, is it not this committee?
28556Mr. BAYARD: Is it in order for me to move the reference of the subject to the Committee on the Judiciary?
28556Mr. HARRIS: Did not the senator from Missouri[ Mr. Vest] offer an amendment?
28556Mr. HOAR: Will the senator allow me to interrupt him for a moment?
28556Mr. INGALLS: What is the regular order?
28556Mr. JONES of Florida: I ask for information how long the morning hour is to extend?
28556Mr. MCMILLIN: Then you have no opinion beyond his decision?
28556Mr. MCMILLIN: Will the gentleman permit me to ask him a question?
28556Mr. MCMILLIN: Would you not, as a parliamentarian, concede that this does change the existing rules of the House?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: Can you have a committee without a rule of the House providing for it?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: Does the Chair hold that the making of a new rule is not a change of the existing rules?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: Is this not a new rule?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: It is not?
28556Mr. SPRINGER: What does the Chair decide?
28556Mrs. Blake spoke on the question,"Is it a Crime to be a Woman?"
28556Mrs. Duniway, will you not favor us with a speech?"
28556My theme was,"What has Christianity done for Woman?"
28556N. J. Burton, said:"Has not this convention been a success?
28556Need we tell you where to find this master- hand which has planned so wisely?
28556Now the question is,"Will the women vote for this man, if we nominate him?"
28556Of what use was woman in the ranks of any political party, with no vote outside the caucus?
28556On the other hand, what is centralization?
28556On what authority are women taxed while unrepresented?
28556On what just ground is discrimination made between men and women?
28556On what theory is it less dangerous to defraud twenty million women of their inalienable rights than four million negroes?
28556One day a dude accosted Miss Bridget on the road, and said, in the usual manner:"Beg pardon, but may I walk with you?"
28556One man asked me, though not rudely,"Who is cooking your husband''s dinner?"
28556Or is there not other work in God''s universe which some woman may possibly be called upon to do?
28556Or will it, as so repeatedly in the past, turn a deaf ear to reason, and still continue to deny the rights of half the human family?
28556Ought it not rather to be a subject of satisfaction and of pride?
28556Our course was somewhat as follows: On the approach of a voter, we would ask him,"have you voted?"
28556Perhaps the women would be lenient to you( the sexes do favor each other), but would you be satisfied?

28020Ought not we to raise him up; and is there one in this Hall who sees nothing for himself to do?
28020Perhaps, had the person making this demand had this question put to him, namely:"What reasons are there why men should vote?"

28020Shall we accept it, or shall we strive against it?
28020Shall we block the way to any individual aspiration?
28020Shall we not, then, at once demand of them-- demand of every sovereign State in the Union-- the elective franchise for woman?
28020Shall we talk of failure, because forty, twenty, or seven years have not perfected all things?

28020What, then, is the substance of our demand?
28020When and where have they yet been recognized by society, or by themselves, as equals?
28020When did the North ever stand, as now, defiant of slavery?

28020Where then did man get the authority that he now claims over one- half of humanity?

28020Where, under our Declaration of Independence, does the white Saxon man get his power to deprive all women and negroes of their inalienable rights?
28020Where?
28020Wherein are her rights infringed, or her liberties curtailed?"
28020Wherein, your remonstrant would inquire, is the justice, equality, or wisdom of this?
28020Which ground shall we take?

28020Why am I in the prime of life in such feeble health?
28020Why are the press and the pulpit, with all their eulogiums of her virtues, so oblivious to the humiliating fact of her disfranchisement?
28020Why are there so many women in the Church?
28020Why did you make that issue at that time?
28020Why do women talk thus?
28020Why do you not do something?"
28020Why does she claim them?
28020Why go to the Bible to settle this question?
28020Why go to the Bible?
28020Why have they so little practical effect?
28020Why have we come from the East and from the West, and from the North?
28020Why is it brought here but to kindle up sectarian fires?
28020Why is it that one- half the people of this nation are held in abject dependence-- civilly, politically, socially, the slaves of man?
28020Why is it worse to go to the ballot- box with our male friends, than to the church, parties, or picnics, etc.?
28020Why may not women claim to be tried by a jury of their peers, with exactly the same right as men claim to be and actually are?
28020Why may she not obey this impulse, and bear the tidings of a world''s salvation to those perishing in darkness and sin?
28020Why must they?
28020Why not go to work?"
28020Why not treat the subject with some show of honesty?
28020Why not vote, then?
28020Why proclaim our sex on the house- tops, seeing that it is a badge of degradation, and deprives us of so many rights and privileges wherever we go?
28020Why refer this to the Bible?
28020Why should it not be so?
28020Why should not the polls, also, be civilized by her presence?
28020Why should not wives, equally with husbands, be entitled to their own earnings?
28020Why should not woman seek to be a reformer?
28020Why should not woman''s work be paid for according to the quality of the work done, and not the sex of the worker?
28020Why should she not be?
28020Why should women vote?
28020Why should women, any more than men, be taxed without representation?
28020Why talk?
28020Why then should the wife, at the death of her husband, not be his heir to the same extent that he is heir to her?
28020Why, said he, are there no young women sitting at the reporters''desks, taking note of the proceedings of this Convention?
28020Why?
28020Why?
28020Wider and deeper its ravages threaten to extend themselves; and to every benevolent mind comes the earnest question, What must now be done?
28020Will He who led our fathers across the stormy winter seas forsake their children who have put their trust in Him?
28020Will Mr. Beecher go to the Bible for his justification?
28020Will Mr. Beecher limit his wife and sisters in the given case to their pens?
28020Will he pay John fifty cents for cooking, and take the rest himself?
28020Will it be answered that we are factious, discontented spirits, striving to disturb the public order, and tear up the old fastnesses of society?
28020Will our American brethren put us in this position?
28020Will that be, to us, an argument that the tyrant is in the right?
28020Will you correct your error?
28020Will you give me your authority?"
28020Will you give me your reasons?"
28020Will you go to St. Joseph and lecture on woman''s rights?
28020Will you not teach them to do so?
28020Will you permit me to answer and remark upon a few of his inquiries?
28020Will you tell us, that women have no Newtons, Shakespeares, and Byrons?
28020Wirt on this subject:"Is not_ our_ conduct toward this sex ill- advised and foolish in relation to our own happiness?
28020With a humorous, give- it- up sort of laugh, he remarked, abruptly:"You are an editor; do you ever lecture?"
28020With what decent show of justice, then, can man, thus dishonored, claim a continuance of this suicidal confidence?
28020Woman is a part of the human commonwealth; why deprive her of a voice in its government?
28020Would any gentleman like to have that law reversed?
28020Would any of you like such power as that to be placed in our hands?
28020Would he have taken the place he has now?
28020Would he impose it?
28020Would not one code answer for all of like needs and wants?
28020Would not your whole soul revolt from such an union?
28020Would you find room for some of my lucubrations?
28020Yes, she can assert it, but does that assertion constitute a true marriage?
28020Yet what is there in the highest range of intellectual pursuits, to which woman may not rightfully aspire?
28020Yet, is it not as fair that married women should dispose of their property, as that married men should dispose of theirs?
28020You ask, would you have woman, by engaging in political party bickerings and noisy strife, sacrifice her integrity and purity?
28020You open to her the door of science: why should she enter?
28020You say she_ can not_ do this and that, but if so, what need of a law to prevent her?
28020Your pastoral rights and powers from harm, Think ye, can words alone preserve them?
28020_ Reverend_ for what?
28020_ Reverend_ for what?
28020and often more?
28020and yet shall she find there no woman''s face or voice to pity and defend?
28020and"How shall we do it?"
28020are there not sorrows enough in our best condition?
28020do you hope thus to break the force of my argument?"
28020have we not temptations strong enough within and without?
28020is this not adding insult to injury?
28020my dear Horace, it is done; now say, what shall woman: do next?"
28020said I,"women?"
28020that all these sad, miserable people are bound together by God?
28020that under our present laws married women have no right to the wages they earn?
28020the Spirit or the Convention?"
28020the insane, the idiot, the deaf and dumb for his asylum?
28020to have at their disposal their own children, without being subject to the constant interference and tyranny of an idle, worthless profligate?
28020what are the motives that impel them to this course of action?
28020what do they want?
28020what does she do out?"
28020what does the term mean?
28020what would the breaking of every window be?
28020where is the home- shelter that guards the delicacy of the drunkard''s wife and daughter?
28020where is thy glory?
28020where the law office, the bar, or the bench, now urging them to take part in the jurisprudence of the nation?
28020who hires bullies to fight for her?
28020with so much bribery, so much corruption, so much quarrelling in the domestic councils?
28020would have made every thirty- fifth voter a rum- seller?
28020your frail ones, taught to lean lovingly and confidingly on man?
28039But Theodore is not a weekly; why did he not come to the Convention and tell us what he thought?
28039But what is we to do? 28039 But would you have woman hold elections like ours"?
28039But,I said,"did n''t he know how black you were before he married you?"
28039But,said Ting,"what is the special object of your preaching Christianity?"
28039Can you let me stay anywhere?
28039How many have you?
28039Is she to be taxed in South Carolina to support the aristocracy?
28039Shall Maria pay a tax and have no voice?
28039Shall this softer, gentler, more fragile creature be the equal of the ruder, stouter man?
28039Well, dare you?
28039Well, then, why do you try to convert the women?
28039Well,said I,"why do n''t he support the children?"
28039What does it mean? 28039 What have you done?"
28039What next?
28039What relations?
28039Why has he left you?
28039Will you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly?
28039Would you have a woman participate in the scenes preliminary to an election?
28039''Who has we but the Lord and you?''
28039''s misapprehension of his rights justify his act?
28039..."What then, is the next step,"he asks,"in the progress of reconstruction?"
280392. Who may act as attorneys?
280397: Secondly, who are capable of becoming agents?
28039A LADY: I want to ask the lady who just spoke if the women of the Revolution found it necessary to form Loyal Leagues?
28039A LADY: If the men would give themselves, why not freely?
28039A MAN IN THE AUDIENCE: The question was asked, as I entered this house,"Is it right for women to meet here and intermeddle in our public affairs?"
28039A VOICE: Allow me to inquire if men have a right to vote on this question?
28039A VOICE:--Is that not all true about black women?
28039A VOICE:--What are they doing?
28039A change might come-- even to them, but if it did not, ought they not to pity other women whose situation was less comfortable than their own?
28039A lady of society asked me,"Are you in favor of woman''s rights?"
28039A lady says to me,"What more can be expected of women if men fail to some extent in our military affairs?"
28039A thousand times in the last years, in this struggle for bread, have I been asked,"Why do n''t you let your sons support you?"
28039Again, if the right to share in the joint government is not inherent, from whence does it come?
28039Again, in the trial of the inspectors of election, why were both judge and jurymen so merciful?
28039Amendment apply to her?
28039Amendment declaring that it shall not be denied on account of either race, color, or previous condition of servitude, to be regarded?
28039Amendment speaks of all persons, etc., and declares them to be citizens, it means all male persons and unmarried females?
28039Amendment, are qualified to hold office?
28039Amendment, by what possible authority are they voting by hundreds of thousands throughout this country?
28039Amendment, the privilege of earning a livelihood by practicing at the bar of a judicial court?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendment?
28039Amendments secured suffrage to women as well as to colored men, who would be willing to admit that they desired to obtain suffrage through trickery?
28039Amendments, in some way or other, the colored man came into possession of this right of suffrage; and the question is, where did he get it?
28039Among these is the question,"Are women equal with men?"
28039And I say to the oldest daughter,"Can you shoot?"
28039And are there any intrinsic necessary conditions that go to constitute liberty in society?
28039And do you know why?
28039And has not also the moral and spiritual nature its inalienable rights?
28039And how shall provision be made for us unless we make it ourselves by voting for it?
28039And how shall we acquire this unless we are taught?
28039And how shall we be taught unless provision is made for us?
28039And if a man may divest himself of this right, what right is sacred from his renunciation?
28039And if a woman is bad enough to commit a heinous crime, must we absurdly assume that women are too good to know that there is such a crime?
28039And if exemptions which appertain to males may be recognized as valid, why not similar exemptions for like reason when applied to females?
28039And if it be either of these, shall we say that education has unsphered and unsexed her?
28039And if men can not live in this country in safe homes, except their neighbor men are enfranchised, can they live without enfranchised women any more?
28039And if not, is there any reason why she should not do directly what she does indirectly?
28039And if suffrage was necessarily one of the absolute rights of citizenship, why confine the operation of the limitation to male inhabitants?
28039And if that be so, how can their admission rightfully depend upon the majority?
28039And is not their political subjection as absolute as was that of the African slaves?
28039And is there a man who does not know, that when questions of justice and humanity are blended, woman''s instinct is better than man''s judgment?
28039And now, let me ask you, what are these men sent here for and who sent them?
28039And now, may a woman be an artist?
28039And shall an American woman shrink from her duty when there is so much power in her hands for good?
28039And shall it not also be pre- eminently so with woman?
28039And shall we say that a woman may properly command an army, and yet can not vote for a Common Councilman in the city of Washington?
28039And should not the ballot- box be as respectable, and as respected, and as sacred as the church?
28039And the great question of to- day is, How shall work find leisure, and in leisure knowledge and refinement?
28039And upon what principle ought they to be asked?
28039And what grew there?
28039And what has the great little Napoleon done?
28039And when I say,"Is it so?"
28039And where can there be a virtuous and happy home unless a Christian marriage shall have consecrated it?
28039And who does not know that they govern us?
28039And who, by common consent, is the educator of the world?
28039And why now, and why not ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago?
28039And why should not even Republican government take to itself other modes of administration without infraction of its fundamental liberties?
28039And why so?
28039And why?
28039And why?
28039And will our force all fail, having done that?
28039And would the gentleman also contend that a lack of power to cut off a thing not in existence also creates the thing?
28039Are lawyers, merchants, tailors, cobblers, bootblacks less skilled in their specialties because they vote?
28039Are not all our chief possessions held in common?
28039Are not these interests equal to those of the negro and of his race?
28039Are not women as much interested in good government as men?
28039Are not women people?
28039Are not"the truths as self- evident"to- day to the intelligent public as they were a century ago?
28039Are politicians so pure, politics so exalted, the polls so immaculate, men so moral, that woman would pollute the ballot and contaminate the voters?
28039Are the instincts of woman so low that unless man puts up a bar, she will immediately fall into man''s obscene conversation and disreputable habits?
28039Are the men alone to say?
28039Are there not large classes even among men in this country who are exempt from service in our armies for physical incapacity and for other reasons?
28039Are there seventeen students in Harvard College who take mathematical astronomy, do you think?"
28039Are there two laws in this country, one for the negro, and another for woman?
28039Are these to be excluded from the polls?
28039Are they capacities merely?
28039Are they capacities merely?
28039Are they degraded?
28039Are they lacking in the necessary intelligence?
28039Are they not also rights?
28039Are they not also rights?
28039Are they not shown to be subjects of the other half, who are the sovereigns?
28039Are we and future generations to be ever imprisoned in the uncouth alternative of monarchical or democratic forms as they now obtain?
28039Are we only a handful?
28039Are we sure that he, once entrenched in all his inalienable rights, may not be an added power to hold us at bay?
28039Are we to have no progress in the modes of government among men?
28039Are women not Saxons?
28039Are women politically oppressed that they need the ballot for their protection?
28039Are you a rich man, afraid of your money?
28039Are you to compel wickedness and crime?
28039Are you to force prostitution and wrong upon those people by these unjust laws?
28039Are you willing to believe, women, that your girls are sixteen times less valuable than the boys?
28039As I asked one of my friends one day,"What are you rebelling for?
28039As Milton so grandly says in Paradise Lost: What though the field be lost?
28039As capital has ever ground labor to the dust, is it just and generous to disfranchise the poor and ignorant because they are so?
28039As to her not being protected, what lady has ever said that her rights were not protected because she had not the right of suffrage?
28039At that time, in an article entitled,"Can a Judge Direct a Verdict of Guilty?
28039Ay, sir, did it not only respond to a demand which was there pressed, but did it not imply a duty, a pledge which this party ought to redeem?
28039Aye, more, that a principle He has made true, it is not safe not to apply?
28039Because a man is a father, must he needs be nothing else?
28039Because it is not a natural right, is it any less unjust to deprive a large part of the people of it?
28039Because some women are mothers, shall all women concentrate every thought in that direction?
28039Because the freedman has that talisman in his hands which the politician is looking after?
28039Because they have learned our Constitution?
28039Before the art of printing, were all men fools?
28039But I ask you, to- day,"Is it safe to bring in a million black men to vote, and not safe to bring in your mother, your wife, and your sister to vote?"
28039But are women, who are not infants, ever included in this category?
28039But at what age has any nation of any period or place become wise, rich, or even strong; to say nothing of good?
28039But did any revolution or any special trouble grow out of this recognition of woman''s right?
28039But does this concession belittle the importance of woman''s political rights?
28039But have they done as they promised?
28039But have women, then, no sphere as women?
28039But how could the amendment be written without the word"male"?
28039But how is it with men?
28039But how was it to be obtained?
28039But if she can make two dollars to his one, allowing him to carry out his part of the appointments of life, why should not she do it?
28039But if we are to have a new general in his place, we may ask, what has become of Sigel?
28039But is a self- made woman less honorable than a self- made man?
28039But is it enough, if the work for which the war is_ now_ prosecuted is not accomplished?
28039But is it true that the equality of man and woman would not be useful to society?
28039But it is asked, why make this disturbance?
28039But it is asked: What do you want of the ballot?
28039But it may be asked: If this be so, why was not the question sooner raised?
28039But it may be said, if the States had no power to abridge the right of suffrage, why the necessity of prohibiting them?
28039But suppose that a majority do not want the ballot, how does that affect the rights of the minority who do want it?
28039But the question remains, What relief can be granted?
28039But the war being over, and a new million of black males being added to the many million white males as rulers of the land, what do we find to- day?
28039But they can load all the four rifles, and he can not fire half as fast as they can load; and I say to the mother,"Can you shoot?"
28039But what are compromises, and what is laid down in those constitutions?
28039But what does election day do for him?
28039But what great reformatory movement was ever treated any better at the outset?
28039But what is an organ played with the feet, if all the upper part is left unused?
28039But what political agency has righted so many?
28039But what practical use will the ballot be to women?
28039But what put the dram- bottle out of the home?
28039But what was the result to the country?
28039But what were the rights?
28039But what word can I speak that will not be better spoken?
28039But what would it be if every foreigner and every ignorant man could not go out on election day, and prove that he was as good as anybody?
28039But when her duties called her there, who ever found her unfaithful to her trust?
28039But when they came to do that, they then asked themselves,"Where are our good right hands?"
28039But when was the consent of woman ever asked to one single act on all the statute books?
28039But who ever heard of a right being conferred by omission?
28039But who shall decide as to"spears?"
28039But who would be willing to banish from the literary world to- day such names as Browning, Hemans, Stowe, and Gage?
28039But why exclude women?
28039But would you, seriously, I am asked, would you drag women down into the mire of politics?

28039Why is he not seen in the convention?''
28039Why is it that every father in this country is educating his daughter as well as his son in all branches of science?
28039Why is it that labor is oppressed and that working women and working men are in some respects worse off than ever before?
28039Why is it, my friends, that Congress has enacted laws to give the negro of the South the right to vote?
28039Why is this term"male"used in the constitutions, pray?
28039Why is this?
28039Why may a colored citizen be admitted to the bar?
28039Why may a colored citizen buy, hold, and sell land in any State of the Union?
28039Why not begin the experiment?
28039Why not further amelioration and adaptation?
28039Why not go back to the tribal custom of the desert, and let the patriarch do all the voting?
28039Why not let a woman, if it is desired that she should be a student, inquire of her husband?
28039Why not try it in North Carolina?
28039Why not, Mr. President?
28039Why not?
28039Why not?
28039Why not?
28039Why ought she?
28039Why say a man can not be a member of the Senate until he is thirty years of age?
28039Why should I not be sincere?
28039Why should I or any person be forbidden to select the agent whom we think the most competent and truly representative of our will?
28039Why should n''t they?
28039Why should not large reductions transpire in those opportunities that invite the most sinister combination for offices and spoils?
28039Why should not the landlady of that hotel over the way share the profits of their joint labors with the landlord?
28039Why should the African prove more just and generous than his Saxon compeers?
28039Why should the head of the household, or rather the_ hand_ of the household, be masculine rather than feminine?
28039Why should the woman who does not care to vote prevent the voting of her neighbor who does?
28039Why should the word_ male_ be in it?
28039Why should there be any restriction?
28039Why should they desire to overturn the existing order of things?
28039Why should this church be granted for such a meeting as this, but for the progress of the cause?
28039Why should we?
28039Why should women, whose supple fingers can set type-- why should not they be type- setters?
28039Why should you not throw them in?
28039Why such zeal, such more than Roman sternness?
28039Why this partiality to the black man?
28039Why this, if it was not in the power of the Legislature to deny the right of suffrage to some male inhabitants?
28039Why was it limited to those three causes?
28039Why, do n''t you know that a woman had seven devils in her: and do you suppose a woman is fit to rule the nation?"
28039Why, in organizing a system of liberality and justice, not recognize in the case of free women as well as free negroes the right of representation?
28039Why, in this hour of reconstruction, with the experience of generations before us, make another experiment in the same direction?
28039Why, then, should not the females have a right to participate in their construction as well as the male part of the community?
28039Why?
28039Why?
28039Why?
28039Why?
28039Why?
28039Why?
28039Will America obey heaven''s voice, or does republicanism exist only in name?
28039Will God perform a miracle to feed this multitude?
28039Will Mrs. Griffing let Mr. Sumner know what institution or person should disburse the money appropriated?
28039Will it be said that the renunciation of allegiance to the former implies or draws after it a renunciation of allegiance to the latter?
28039Will it be said that this sex does not claim a right to representation?
28039Will it not in fact sever those relations to which I have referred as being essential for the virtue and safety of a State?
28039Will men never learn that a principle which God has made true He has also made it safe to apply?
28039Will not their weakness render them subservient to the strong and their ignorance to the artful?
28039Will not these new electors you propose to introduce be more approachable than men who now vote to all corrupt influences?
28039Will that ever be remedied until woman has the right to vote?
28039Will the Clerk poll the jury?
28039Will the gentleman accept an amendment to that resolution that there shall be no distinction in regard to sex?
28039Will they not be more easily caught and enraptured by superficial declamation, because more incapable of profound reflection?
28039Will they not be more passionate, and therefore more easily influenced by the demagogue?
28039Will woman be deprived of the guarantees in this section and the right of trial by jury because the masculine pronoun is used?
28039Will you also give me the names of members whom you think would present petitions for us?
28039Will you be good enough to tell me which woman you think to- day is the superior?
28039Will you have Rome?
28039Will you let me know distinctly if you propose to commit yourselves to the idea of loyalty to the present Government?
28039Will you not give to every woman the power to maintain the integrity of her womanhood-- the ownership of herself?
28039Will you pay the debt that has been incurred?"
28039Will you tell me Democracy, Republicanism, consecrated by Christianity, is the remedy for all these ills?
28039Will you, sir, please send me whatever is said or done with our petitions?
28039With all this equity in their favor, may they not be allowed, without censure, to avail themselves of a legal right?
28039With its 75,000 subscribers, and five times that number of readers, what can the poor little_ Standard_ do for us, compared with that?
28039With the argument all on our side, the only question that remains is, does woman herself demand the right of suffrage at this hour?
28039Woman has been fined, whipped, branded with red- hot irons, imprisoned and hung; but when was woman ever tried by a jury of her peers?
28039Woman has been tried in every office from the throne to the position of the humblest servant; and where has she been found remiss?
28039Women of the North, will you not strive for your own enfranchisement?
28039Women of the South, will you not work for your own freedom?
28039Would he contend that therefore every new- born baby might at once grasp a musket?
28039Would it not be well for the women of to- day to emulate Deborah in her zeal and love of country?
28039Would it not turn the blackguard into a gentleman, so that we should have nothing but good conduct?
28039Would not the charge of cowardice, certain to be brought against you, prove more damaging than that of amalgamation?
28039Would revolvers, bowie- knives, whisky barrels, profane oaths, brutal rowdyism, be the feature of elections if women were present?
28039Would that policy in any way conduce to their peace, their purity, and their happiness?
28039Would the Senator argue from that, that they had no natural rights, or that they were consenting to their bondage?
28039Would you have it otherwise?
28039Would you not be branded all over the land as dastardly hypocrites, professing principles which you have no wish or intention of carrying out?
28039You may, perhaps, ask me, before I go any further,"What is the use of preaching to us that we_ ought_ to do it, when we are not permitted to do it?"
28039You might as well ask,"Are all men equal to each other?"
28039You say what of course you can not know, but even if it were so, what then?
28039You say you find the defendant guilty of the offense whereof she stands indicted, and so say you all?
28039_ First Clown._ How can that be, unless she drowned herself in her own defense?

28039_ Second Clown._ But is this law?
28039_ What can woman do?_ has been with me from the beginning of this war a question of the uppermost importance.
28039and can those who are mothers be nothing else?
28039and did she not answer,"Not a particle"?
28039and how can any give what he has not got?
28039and what effect did it produce?
28039and what they would do if any class attempted to usurp that power?
28039and when was the choice made?
28039but what does that mean?
28039can there be an extreme view, when one is considering individual freedom?
28039or Mrs. Livermore?
28039or Mrs. Stanton?
28039or expired at last in sunsets of serenity and glory, and been embalmed and enshrined in the tears and gratitude of mankind?
28039or has achieved proportionally, so long a life?
28039or not?
28039or why woman as a student, a wife, a mother, a widow, and a citizen, should be held at such a disadvantage?
28039to exalt ignorance above education, vice above virtue, brutality and barbarism above refinement and religion?
28039to which the reply was,"Yes, now and ever heart and soul a woman"; that Judge Hunt should ask her"if she voted as a female"?
28039what came of all these dark forebodings of timid men?
28039when he classes adults as fully capable of exercising an enlightened judgment as himself with infants?
28039which commands most respect?
28039why do n''t these brothers of ours call us, the reserves, into action?
28039why do n''t they call the reserves into action?
40851Is there any alternative,says this printer,"between an abandonment of the constitution and resistance?"
40851What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love? 40851 relying with perfect confidence in the Executive"--is this the language of the constitution, as it respects any man?
40851218; amendment will defeat the bill, 218; shall the territory remain defenceless?
40851453; all the evidence necessary should be obtained, 453; extraordinary resolution-- was the President clerk of the court?
40851679; what evidence that the Intendant is not authorized by the Spanish or French Government?
40851681; what is the state of things?
4085169; this country not equal to support a navy, 69; how can such a navy, be manned?
40851A question was then taken in the following words: Does the matter so communicated require secrecy?
40851Admitting it, I asked then, and I ask now, with what propriety it could be used, even in that sense, in the resolution referred to?
40851Admitting there was such a law, what could the House do?
40851Admitting they could hold it, what security would they have for their commerce?
40851After knowing these facts, will gentlemen have the hardihood to call this a hasty measure?
40851Again, if such a Navy were created, how was it to be manned?
40851Against whom they were to be employed?
40851Against whom, then, are we to arm?
40851Although they may differ in political opinion, as many of us do, is that any reason we should attempt to destroy their reputation?
40851Although this all might be mere matter of opinion, would it not come within the meaning of the law in question?
40851Am I so to consider it?
40851And are gentlemen to be here accused for exercising the constitutional right of election according to the conviction of their own judgments?
40851And are not the emigrations composed of such as require the prompt assistance of the law, to preserve among them regularity?
40851And are not these men property?
40851And are the maxims of experience to become false, when applied to our fate?
40851And are the people to be told that this is a trifling question?
40851And are they pledged for the payment of the public debt?
40851And are they, therefore, in this House to be confounded with each other?
40851And are we not in war?
40851And are we to be told from the house- tops, that the only use of elections is to promote, not public good, but public mischief?
40851And can it be justifiable in the eyes of men, who believe there is nothing so precious or important as national honor?
40851And can there be a greater, a more patriotic purpose than this?
40851And could a potent State be alarmed by the unfounded claim of a single person?
40851And do the citizens of the United States, he asked, wish their First Magistrate to be placed in this situation?
40851And does not the doctrine of our opponents prove that, at every change of administration, the number of your judges are probably to be doubled?
40851And during the time that Holland was separated from the dominion of Spain, was war declared in consequence of any nation trading with Holland?
40851And has England gained nothing by the war?
40851And here, sir, let it be asked, why should a Government that means well, or is confident in its uprightness and ability, ever fear the press?
40851And here, sir, let me ask, are not these privileges all that are necessary?
40851And how can the truth of things which can not be proved by evidence, be determined by evidence?
40851And how has he proved this?
40851And how is it to be effected?
40851And if granted, why not grant it without assigning reasons, as well as with assigning them?
40851And if so, could any thing afford a more lasting cause for war than an act of this kind?
40851And if the money is to be raised by taxes, to what objects can we turn our attention?
40851And if they are, does that committee mean to impose upon this House, as upon the people of some parts of the Union?
40851And if they can hear in them, can not the stenographers also?
40851And if they could delegate the power of raising an army to the PRESIDENT, why not do the same with respect to the power of raising taxes?
40851And if they have no objection, why go into a Committee of the Whole; which, if gone into, must be with closed doors?
40851And if they violate the law, where can we apply for redress but to our courts of justice?
40851And if this be important in the general course of things, is it not, under present circumstances, indispensable?
40851And if to either sum, can we with propriety dispense with the internal taxes?
40851And in these circumstances, said he, are the people of the United States to be led on from step to step, until they are irrevocably involved in war?
40851And is not the tenure as completely impaired thereby, as if the other had been taken away also?
40851And is not this most proper?
40851And is the irritation consequent upon the laying of taxes worn off?
40851And may they not, instead of giving their judges two thousand dollars a year, give them two hundred thousand?
40851And must the Executive in every such case make a new appointment?
40851And now that we have gained it, shall we fall from our honor?
40851And on the question on the second division, to wit: Whether so much as provides that the third article shall be expunged, shall stand?
40851And ought a man to be permitted to slander the Government and not an individual?
40851And ought his descendants to be more hardly dealt with because their father had the generosity and magnanimity not to make the demand?
40851And shall not we, as a nation, thank him for keeping us from a state of war?
40851And shall not we, with our great and increasing resources, and the peculiar advantages of our situation, be able to effect still more?
40851And shall we hesitate?
40851And shall we now, when there is no right reason for it, lay hold of the public Treasury, and lavish away$ 14,000?
40851And shall we, for this reason, monopolize a revenue upon it?
40851And then, Is there a Seminary so near the spot contemplated, as to make it hostile in this House to encourage this University?
40851And though we were a commercial Republic, was it not necessary to take care of the agricultural interest?
40851And upon what terms are we to cope with the powers of Europe with respect to any navy?
40851And was Rigaud punished by France for thus exercising his power or not?
40851And was it to be considered, he asked, that they enjoyed the powers committed to them in their own right, as barons of empire, as sovereign despots?
40851And was that salary, he asked, near so valuable now as it was when fixed?
40851And was this, he asked, a subject of regret?
40851And what are these cases?
40851And what courts?
40851And what have they got to do?
40851And what have they said?
40851And what object or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the human mind?
40851And what objection could there be to the inquiry?
40851And what was all this power that so much alarmed the gentleman from Massachusetts?
40851And what was the object?
40851And what will be the result of this?
40851And what would be the remedy if he should refuse to comply?
40851And what, he asked, did these expenses amount to?
40851And what, in either case, would become of this boasted protection of the people against themselves?
40851And when we all agree in this, whence the necessity of calling up the animosities of party?
40851And whether help can be extended by law to the one, and consistently refused to the other?
40851And whether it had not been in the contemplation of that gentleman, as well as others, to pay as much as they could yearly?
40851And whether none of them in the Legislature never voted for the resolutions about the western land, nor about post- offices and post- roads?
40851And whether the Executive is not hastening it?
40851And who are the judges?
40851And why is all this to be done?
40851And why shall our judges not ride the circuits?
40851And why were they told this?
40851And will gentlemen act upon this as a sufficient reason for their conduct?
40851And would any gentleman say it was not right to defend our vessels against pirates?
40851And would any one say that it would be proper to rise without providing a military defence for the country?
40851And would it not be extraordinary, he asked, if, before they received these statements, they were to appoint a committee of inquiry?
40851And would not the opening of intercourse with such a place, by relieving the distresses of France, defeat the original intention of the law?
40851And would this, he asked, be doing honor to the Republican Government?
40851And would you take up arms with a millstone hanging around your neck?
40851And yet, after being told of these designs, shall we sit with our arms folded, and make no defence?
40851And, because Congress had a right to enact such a law, would gentlemen say it was for the benefit of trade?
40851And, if Mr. Gerry had powers to treat, how could it be criminal to say that he might treat?
40851And, on motion to agree thereto, a motion was made for the previous question, to wit:"Shall the main question be now put?"
40851And, on the question on the first division, to wit: Whether so much as provides that the second article shall be expunged, shall stand?
40851And, on the question on the fourth division, to wit: Whether that part shall stand which provides a limitation of time to its duration?
40851And, on the question on the third division, to wit: Whether that part shall stand which restrains it from operating against former treaties?
40851And, on the question,"Shall these words stand?"
40851And, on the question,"Will the Senate advise and consent to the adoption of this article?"
40851And, said Mr. G., do we really rely upon this?
40851And, whether to deny it, in this instance, would not be to interfere with that provision of the constitution?
40851Any thing to ruin the country?
40851Are a majority of this House so degraded, so mean, so destitute of honor or morality, as to act at the nod of a President?
40851Are gentlemen disposed to wage war in support of this principle?
40851Are gentlemen then afraid to trust to the discretion of the President?
40851Are gentlemen unwilling to indemnify for such losses?
40851Are gentlemen unwilling to trust themselves, lest their own consciences should compel them to an act of justice?
40851Are gentlemen''s opinions and language thus to be circumscribed?
40851Are honorable gentlemen prepared to accept peace on such terms?
40851Are not its members acting under a responsibility to public opinion, which can and will check their aberrations from duty?
40851Are not the jurisdictions of those courts separate and distinct?
40851Are not those who voted against it fairly to be considered as enemies to the law?
40851Are not, said Mr. G., these papers important to the House?
40851Are not, said Mr. O., the galleries constructed for the express purpose of hearing?
40851Are our arguments to fly from the mouths of our cannon?
40851Are our means equal to hers?
40851Are there any words in that instrument which give the President expressly the power of removing any officer at pleasure?
40851Are there words in the English language more explicit?
40851Are these approaches to revolution and Jacobinic domination, to be observed with the eye of meek submission?
40851Are they apprehensive lest he should communicate that which is improper?
40851Are they not intended for the good people of the United States?
40851Are they paid exclusively by the wealthy and the luxurious part of the community?
40851Are they prepared to repeal the act to which I now refer?
40851Are they willing to let it rest, and lose it?
40851Are we bound hand and foot that we must be witnesses of these deadly thrusts at our liberty?
40851Are we never to be clear of these alarms?
40851Are we then to resort to the ultimate reason of kings?
40851Are we to be the unresisting spectators of these exertions to destroy all that we hold dear?
40851Are we to be told by the gentleman from Virginia, there is no occasion for this call; that we have information enough?
40851Are we to form an exception to the general principles of nature, and to all the examples of history?
40851Are we to legislate for succeeding ages?
40851Are we to see all these acts practised against the repose of our country, and remain passive?
40851Are we to suppose he is unwilling to inform us what they are?
40851Are we to suppose the Executive has not been vigilant in ascertaining the circumstances attending this event?
40851Are we valiant?
40851Are we wise?
40851Are you certain that they will wait the end of negotiation?
40851As to the State which he represented, he would ask if the first blood that had been spilled after that shed at Boston was not in North Carolina?
40851At a time when the enemy''s vessels are within our own jurisdiction, are we to withhold the necessary instructions to the commanders of our vessels?
40851At that day, did we hastily go to war?
40851Attacked and insulted as we had been, do we now, asked Mr. D., call for war?
40851Because they have been once injured with impunity, shall we turn our backs upon them for ever?
40851Because, as our opponents would fain have it believed, we are insensible to the vast interest affected by the obstruction of the Mississippi?
40851Besides, has he the power to do so, in the manner then suggested by the gentleman from Virginia by taking possession of New Orleans?
40851Besides, said Mr. B., were the rates of compensation, when first established, established upon this principle?
40851Besides, said Mr. G., could it be expected that six or ten frigates could convoy all our vessels?
40851Besides, what is the population of the Southern States?
40851Bound to obey what law?
40851Brought to this dilemma, said he, which side will you take?
40851But I ask gentlemen to be candid, and tell me whether they are at this time equally divided?
40851But an extreme case is put; a bill of attainder is passed; are the judges to support the constitution or the law?
40851But are printers at liberty to tell lies about our transactions?
40851But are we always to act by precedent?
40851But are you not the guardians of the public treasure?
40851But by what energy is the constitution to be destroyed?
40851But can it be necessary to give this Senate any other assurance than my word?
40851But can liberty, such as we understand and enjoy, exist in societies where the few only have property, and the many are both ignorant and licentious?
40851But can you examine each distinct case?
40851But could America lay up her ships, and say she would open her ports to all nations?
40851But did the framers of the constitution stop here?
40851But did the gentleman suppose that a war with France could be flattering to pride or ambition?
40851But does this bill, said Mr. S., contemplate any such thing?
40851But gentlemen say, where are your expenses?
40851But had Spain a right to make this cession without our consent?
40851But he would ask if this were the case, if it would not lead directly to war?
40851But how are these objects effected?
40851But how did the case really stand?
40851But how did we vote on the motion for agreeing to the following clause?
40851But how is that gentleman to have foundation for his reflections until a bill is drawn?
40851But how shall we account for the exception which is now exhibited to this hitherto received maxim?
40851But how was this law adopted?
40851But how?
40851But how?
40851But if the evidence was not reported, how could he say that all the witnesses might not again be called before the House?
40851But if the gentleman insisted opinions could not be false, how would he get rid of the conclusion?
40851But if, on the contrary, they coolly looked into the petition, and reported thereon, would it not stop the mouths of these people?
40851But if, sir, they have offended against the constitution or laws of the country, why are they not impeached?
40851But is it unconstitutional to assign new duties to officers already existing?
40851But is this Legislative power in Great Britain usurped by construction?
40851But is this the peace which we ought to seek?
40851But no, said the gentlemen,"We will not have it examined into, because it will make us out to be as_ black_ as the petitioners themselves?"
40851But of what avail will this be, when Congress may take it away at any moment?
40851But ought this to be said of the subject under consideration?
40851But should we persist under such a possibility of mistake, what do we risk?
40851But suppose it was now in possession of a foreign power, would Georgia attempt to drive them from it?
40851But suppose, said Mr. S., this independence were to take place, would all the danger to this country actually take place which has been stated?
40851But suppose, sir, you agree to divide these States, where is the boundary to be?
40851But supposing there are yet a number of them, what better use can our public armed vessels be put to than to go after them?
40851But the gentleman from South Carolina says, this is the cheapest mode of defence; but does the gentleman prove this?
40851But the question arises, whether a violation of the treaties on the part of France is, of itself, sufficient for setting them aside?
40851But this settlement is now objected to, and what is to be done?
40851But was it necessary these persons should at once become entitled to take a part in the concerns of our Government?
40851But was this the sense of the country?
40851But were they always to expect to have a PRESIDENT who would give his services to his country?
40851But what have we to do with their domestic broils?
40851But what inducement will there be to moneyed men to lend money, except a permanent revenue be made the security?
40851But what is the fact?
40851But what security have we for the truth of the declaration?
40851But what was all this to the United States?
40851But what was now to be done?
40851But what was the issue of this negotiation?
40851But what was the issue of this proposition?
40851But what was the result of experience?
40851But what were the terms upon which they proposed to cede it?
40851But what, said Mr. G., is the language of this section?
40851But what, sir, did the gentleman mean by his X, Y, Z?
40851But when?
40851But where did that gentleman learn that Holland has no navy?
40851But where is the evil complained of?
40851But where was the blame, if any could attach?
40851But where was the crime, the offence, or the impropriety, of the conduct ascribed to the Executive, if it had been adopted?
40851But wherefore this exhibition of a zeal so inordinate as to arrogate to itself all sensibility to the national welfare?
40851But who will say that the crew of a British frigate on the high seas, are within the peace of the United States?
40851But why have they trusted to the imaginary collision of sentiment between the Governor and Intendant of New Orleans?
40851But why is she in that situation?
40851But why speak of British inhumanity, if not to embarrass this bill?
40851But why was the army mentioned on this occasion, unless to fore- warn us of the fate which awaits them, and to tell us that their days are numbered?
40851But why, he asked, do these men come here in a body?
40851But why, say gentlemen, fix precisely one Supreme Court, and leave the rest to Legislative discretion?
40851But why?
40851But will it be pretended that a person can commit misprision of treason who can not commit treason itself?
40851But will the House thus be acted upon?
40851But will the gentleman say, that whenever we ask information, we conclude upon measures?
40851But will this alter the justness of my position?
40851But would this have been right?
40851But would this have done?
40851But, as this is not the case, as we are only asked to permit its encouragement, by allowing these people to receive benefactions, how can we refuse?
40851But, he asked if the gentleman from Virginia knew the reason why this amount to France appeared so large?
40851But, he asked if the loss we sustained for the want of a naval power could be estimated?
40851But, he would ask them, if, independent of land with its improvements, they possessed any other species of property which could not be eluded?
40851But, in any view, are the sins of the former judges to be fastened upon the new Judicial system?
40851But, it is said, will you suffer a printer to abuse his fellow- citizens with impunity, ascribing his conduct to the very worst of motives?
40851But, said he, shall we fear that we shall be called upon to pay a few more just debts?
40851But, say gentlemen, where will you find revenue?
40851But, sir, are the Secretaries unworthy of confidence?
40851But, sir, are we not as deeply interested in the true exposition of the constitution, as the judges can be?
40851But, supposing the law constitutional, is the crime an infamous one?
40851But, taking things as they are, what course, on this point, is most fair and tolerant?
40851But, to return, was there any thing criminal in that paragraph?
40851But, upon what ground, said Mr. G., do the advocates of this report prove that 11 is not three- fourths of 14?
40851But, what was the fact?
40851But, why had it been so?
40851But, why two, Mr. B. queried, rather than three?
40851By the laws of what nation would the contract be governed?
40851By what are those armies to be opposed?
40851By what authority can any court render such a judgment?
40851By what inspiration could the gentleman form a judgment now?
40851By what law then would such a contract be governed?
40851By what means was this to be accomplished?
40851By whom has this outrage been offered?
40851Can I, said Mr. J., represent as effectually Massachusetts, or Vermont, as Pennsylvania?
40851Can any other meaning be applied to the words"from time to time?"
40851Can any thing essential, any thing more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds?
40851Can gentlemen hear these things and lie quietly on their pillows?
40851Can he commit and imprison without a trial?
40851Can he prove that £10,000,000 sterling is only the third part of the expense of defence, as he says?
40851Can he then be trusted with the government of others?
40851Can it be any thing more than the right of uttering and doing what is not injurious to others?
40851Can it be done without power?
40851Can it be expected that any country will be peopled as fast, from a nation at the distance of three thousand miles, as our Western country has been?
40851Can it be possible, sir, that the gentleman was really serious when he talked about an injury to women and children?
40851Can it be shown, or even said, that the judgment of the court was a false construction of the constitution?
40851Can it be, that an act, which, if perpetrated by an individual, would be robbery, can be justifiable in a nation?
40851Can it have this effect?
40851Can it mean that an office may exist, although its duties are extinct?
40851Can it mean, in short, that the shadow, to wit, the judge, can remain, when the substance, to wit, the office, is removed?
40851Can it mean, that his tenure should be limited by behaving well in an office which did not exist?
40851Can not the logical talents of the gentleman from Massachusetts( Mr. BACON) distinguish between information and measures?
40851Can stones show gratitude?
40851Can the honorable gentleman be serious in all this?
40851Can the usefulness or convenience of any acquisition justify us in taking from another by force what we have no sort of right to?
40851Can this admission make us responsible for the conduct of men we do not know, and over whom we have no control?
40851Can we expect any thing from their justice, or, rather, have we not every thing to expect from their vengeance, if not prepared to meet it?
40851Can we expect this, said Mr. N.?
40851Can you impair its force by impeaching the motives of any member who voted for it?
40851Could any gentleman conceive that these were not too great powers to be intrusted to any State whatever?
40851Could any gentleman pretend to say that no inference might be drawn from this source and the concomitant facts?
40851Could any man desire to place the citizens of the District in such a state?
40851Could any office be at the same time in the possession of two persons?
40851Could any possible inconvenience accrue from allowing him to obtain the information he desired?
40851Could gentlemen be serious in making this objection?
40851Could gentlemen hear it and not shudder?
40851Could he say we were at peace with them now?
40851Could he use the public force to redress our wrongs?
40851Could his successor, on the receipt of his commission, exercise the functions of judge, prior to the resignation of the former incumbent?
40851Could it be necessary then to_ increase_ courts when suits were_ decreasing_?
40851Could it be necessary to multiply judges, when their duties were diminishing?
40851Could it then be supposed these gentlemen could, in this instance, so change their opinion?
40851Could it, then, with any reason be called premature to act upon such information?
40851Could the President proceed further, even if he thought more vigorous measures proper and expedient?
40851Could the Speaker desire this?
40851Could the framers of the constitution intend to guarantee, as a sacred principle, the liberty of lying against the Government?
40851Could they alone go to war with France and Spain?
40851Could they declare a law of North Carolina null and void?
40851Could they fear injustice when opposed to a feeble individual?
40851Could they hold Orleans, were they to take possession of it, without the aid of the United States?
40851Could this be correct?
40851Could this be liberty?
40851Could this give offence, because we feel pleasure in being at peace?
40851Could we refuse a tribute of respect to a man who had served his country so much?
40851Could, then, gentlemen talk of moral obligation, and say that this was a just debt?
40851Dangerous to Europe and to the world, what will be the effect of a great increase of that power?
40851Did a nation ever make a declaration that it was not at war?
40851Did any thing appear in the conduct of the French Directory to show that our Ministers were not possessed of ample powers?
40851Did gentlemen mean that if we should make use of force against lawless violence, it is war?
40851Did gentlemen want an age to express an opinion which every member feels-- which the whole nation feels?
40851Did he carry his purpose into effect?
40851Did he mean to set all slaves at liberty, or receive petitions from all?
40851Did he not embark his all for this country?
40851Did he then ask any thing which was unreasonable or improper?
40851Did his constituents, he asked, wish this?
40851Did not he know that the doctrine applied to the Senate as well as to that House?
40851Did not our situation, and the circumstances in which we stand, compel us to turn our attention to this object?
40851Did not the United States trade with all the nations of the earth?
40851Did not the gentleman know that the most solemn decision had taken place last session on this subject, by a large majority?
40851Did not the gentleman''s friends immediately state the impropriety of passing those resolutions?
40851Did not the insolvent laws of the Southern States hold out the same allurements to fraud as the general bankrupt law?
40851Did not the members of the convention know that a great quantity of public treasure would be drawn together into this place?
40851Did not the silence of the bill on this point show the ignorance of gentlemen?
40851Did not this go to sanction a report which was as false and malignant as even jacobinism could invent?
40851Did the acts of cession by the States, and of acceptance by Congress, take away the jurisdiction of those States, and vest it in Congress?
40851Did the city afford the Government a defence?
40851Did the gentleman mean to insinuate, that this war was invited by the United States?
40851Did the gentleman suppose that the number would be so great as to make a demand on their seats?
40851Did the military send its aid?
40851Did the people of America vest all power in the Legislature?
40851Did the people?
40851Did the petition go any farther than this?
40851Did they attempt to counteract the Executive?
40851Did they imagine that, without the expression of a murmur by them, the mover would himself rise and oppose his own motion?
40851Did they know how far we would reduce the Army, the Navy, or the Judiciary?
40851Did they not consider the number of persons attached to the Government worthy of the special regard of the national Legislature?
40851Did they not hold them under the Spanish Government?
40851Did they rest here the most important branch of our Government?
40851Did they risk on these grammatical niceties the fate of America?
40851Did those gentlemen consider what it was to deprive the country of a rich mine of ship timber?
40851Did we drive them to the measures that made such immense expenditures of the public money necessary?
40851Did we object to a syllable contained in this part of the resolution?
40851Did we refuse our assent?
40851Did we then hesitate?
40851Did we then make war?
40851Did we then wait for foreign alliance?
40851Do gentlemen appeal to our fears, rather than to our understanding?
40851Do gentlemen mean to decide at once thus precipitately against all indemnity whatever?
40851Do gentlemen say opinions can be false which do not contain matter of fact?
40851Do gentlemen themselves think that the persons, whom I see around me, ought to be trusted with such powers?
40851Do not gentlemen know that our Government is in possession of testimony, demonstrating beyond all kind of doubt, that this is not the fact?
40851Do not gentlemen know that peace or war is not in our power?
40851Do not the people in this territory hold them as such?
40851Do not we know that we may safely rely upon them?
40851Do they imagine that any particular place can be assigned to which they can ensure a profound silence, and from which every person can be withheld?
40851Do they mean to prevent the publication of their sentiments to their constituents and to the world?
40851Do we not every day call upon particular officers to perform duties not previously assigned to, or required of them?
40851Do we not hear of depredatory threats, and the mischiefs she has the power of doing us, urged as reasons why we should submit to her?
40851Do we not know, said Mr. B., that he is among the persons proscribed by France?
40851Do we not see the nation with whom we are at variance find quarrels with every country who is not strong enough to resist her?
40851Do you not tremble when you look at it?
40851Do you prefer peace to independence?
40851Does any body expect any thing from the terrible generosity of the Great Nation?
40851Does any gentleman on this floor know who confined him, or by order of what government?
40851Does he mean to say that Congress did wrong in funding the public debt?
40851Does he mean to say that the price of our liberty and independence ought not to have been paid?
40851Does he remember when we passed this law?
40851Does he wish unreasonable concessions to be made?
40851Does it affect the case?
40851Does it alter the fact?
40851Does it embrace any point of fact on which a committee is to make inquiry?
40851Does it follow, that a law is bad because all those who concurred in it can not give good reasons for their votes?
40851Does it not rather appear as if they intended to alienate the affections of the people from their Government, in order to effect their own views?
40851Does it not say that the agents must be under the Government of France?
40851Does it result that we have a right to pass a law beforehand to contemplate such an event?
40851Does not the President refer to them as important to enlighten us?
40851Does not the power that cedes give up all right whatever to that which accepts?
40851Does not the selection of the best objects to which to appropriate it devolve on you?
40851Does not this look as though the United States are to patronize and support the establishment?
40851Does not this manifest precipitation?
40851Does not this show that the gentlemen themselves have not confided in the estimate of the artist?
40851Does she not injure us on every side?
40851Does such a commission empower one to exercise the functions of the whole in opposition to the opinions of his colleagues?
40851Does the gentleman by this mean to give the lie to the Executive?
40851Does the gentleman from Connecticut recollect the words of that decree?
40851Does the gentleman say opinions can not be false?
40851Does the gentleman wish to suppress the history of the political events of 1776?
40851Does this mean, said he, that there are a majority of members in this House who must always be in the right, and a minority always in the wrong?
40851Does this question involve an inquiry either into matter of expediency or of fact?
40851Else why was the provision for exclusive jurisdiction made?
40851Establish thus the dependence of the Judiciary Department, who will resort to them for protection against you?
40851For by what rule of evidence could he discover and know what was really the writer''s belief?
40851For fear of_ offending_ foreign nations we are not to ask or know what is our relative situation with such nations?
40851For what do we ask?
40851For what purpose was this great mass to be raised?
40851For what purpose, said he, should they be finished, unless it were intended to man them?
40851For what, sir, are elections held, if it be not that the people should change their representatives when they do not like them?
40851For what?
40851For when the powers and duties are taken away, what, let me ask, is left but a salary?
40851From whence do they derive their authority?
40851From whence, said Mr. V., is this reasoning drawn?
40851From whom is a corrupt decision most to be feared?
40851Gentlemen asked whether war is not approaching?
40851Gentlemen catch at this; but what is it but an attempt to arrest the arm of the Government of this country, just when it was about to strike a blow?
40851Gentlemen say, we are happier than though we were at war; are we at peace?
40851Had Congress, then, a right to do any thing to bind the sovereignties of the independent States?
40851Had any objection been made to the old Congress under the Confederation, that was federally organized, for the want of talents or integrity?
40851Had not the citizens lived happily for a hundred years under the State Governments?
40851Had she no navy in the American war, when with great gallantry, though with unequal success, she fought the English at sea?
40851Had the public affairs been conducted with less ability than they are at present?
40851Had they not an equal right to be heard with other petitioners?
40851Has a great man reason to fear from a poor one?
40851Has a nation a right to put these States in a dangerous situation?
40851Has he any documents or proof to render the suspicion colorable?
40851Has he heard of no commercial distresses, when violations so unprecedented have of late occurred?
40851Has it been passed in a manner which wounded your pride, or aroused your resentment?
40851Has it been the practice of this Government heretofore to break lances on the spot with any nation who injured or insulted her?
40851Has the King of Spain, has the First Consul of France, no means of making such communication to the President of the United States?
40851Have not the judges, in the same manner, been deprived of one of their offices?
40851Have the French Government expressed any inclination to settle the differences subsisting between them and us?
40851Have the Senate any authority to advise him as to the faithful execution of the laws?
40851Have they not been wholly maritime?
40851Have they not seen the letter of the Governor of New Orleans to the Governor of the Mississippi Territory?
40851Have we a better prospect than that nation?
40851Have we given our vote that we would not defend the free navigation of the Mississippi?
40851Have we heretofore been considered as responsible?
40851Have we not been ready to unite in adopting those measures which the infraction of treaties and our violated rights demand?
40851Have we not heard this doctrine supported in the memorable case of the mandamus, lately before the Supreme Court?
40851Have we not passed a variety of bills which gentlemen have declared amount to war?
40851Have we not seen sedition laws?
40851Have we not uniformly adhered to the principle that those who exercise power_ de facto_ are the only persons that we are bound to recognize?
40851Have we not within these few days passed a law to prevent the importation of certain dangerous characters?
40851Have we one common language, and are we united under one head?
40851Have we such evidence as should incline us to rely upon it?
40851Have you a judiciary system extending over this immense country, matured by the wisdom of your ablest and best men?
40851Have you any thing to say in excuse or extenuation for said publication?
40851Have you here the opportunities for valuable information which might be had elsewhere?
40851Have you not done more?
40851Have you not then established a new office by the destruction of the old one?
40851Have you taxes which have been laid since the commencement of the Government?
40851Have you, said Mr. L., no greater objects to engage your attention than whether this man or that man shall go out of your bar, or remain within it?
40851He again asked, have we the means?
40851He asked if our Government did not know that nothing was to be obtained here without money?
40851He asked the decision of the question, whether, previously to offering his resolutions, the doors ought not to be closed?
40851He asked those gentlemen whether the PRESIDENT had not a right to man the frigates, and if so, whether they should not be_ obliged_ to find the money?
40851He asked whether any gentlemen in this House, who are so frequently called disorganizers, had ever broached a doctrine like this?
40851He asked whether gentlemen did not believe the Executive had taken measures which would lead to war?
40851He asked whether the United States might not as well lose revenue in the first instance, as put money into the people''s pockets to pay it with?
40851He asked whether this was consonant to the principles of the constitution?
40851He asked whether, where men wanted every thing, and were in proportion of 29 to 1, it was possible they could be trusted with power?
40851He asked, what necessity for the exercise of power by Congress?
40851He called upon gentlemen to say whether a temper of revolt was not more perceptible in that quarter?
40851He himself saw it with concern; but where was the difference in crime between the French Republic and the Emperor?
40851He should be glad to know where he saw the signature to know it?
40851He then asked if this was not the very state in which we now were?
40851He wished also to know whether it was intended that the Senate should declare that the publication was a breach of privilege?
40851He wished he could see the breasts of gentlemen now glow with the patriotism which then animated them; but, instead of this, what do we see?
40851He wished to know how a distinction was to be made on this subject?
40851He wished to know what difficulty there would have been in defining the time here referred to in this bill?
40851He wished to know what was meant?
40851He wished to know whence he derived his information?
40851He wished to know whether the House had not jurisdiction over this matter?
40851He wished to know whether the people have not a right to say, if they choose, that the administration of justice is corrupt?
40851He wished, therefore, to know what these unusual severities were which, upon our own ideas of Government, we could retaliate?
40851He would appeal to the gentleman whether it was more honorable to desert his duty and fly a vote, than to act as he had done?
40851He would ask the gentleman just up whether he knew any thing about the expense of a mausoleum?
40851He would ask the gentleman whether that act of ours should have any influence on our situation with France?
40851He would ask whether, in countries over which the Government had complete jurisdiction, worse things had not happened?
40851He would ask, Was there any thing in the name of Government, if it operated in this manner?
40851He would ask, could not an appropriation be made for the use of the Military Establishment in general terms?
40851He would ask, how, under these circumstances, a jury could be struck in a federal court in that State agreeably to law?
40851He would not deny that frauds were committed, but for this should the honest debtor be eternally fettered with his debts?
40851He would wish to know what advantage there could be in giving this legislative agency to those States?
40851Hence arises the advantages from public contributions; and would that House, he asked, refuse their assistance?
40851Here Mr. C. was called to order by Mr. BINGHAM, of Pennsylvania, who inquired what the liberty of the press had to do on a question of postponement?
40851How can the retrocession be made?
40851How could any thing, then, be due to them?
40851How could he know what part would awaken that idea of disrespect?
40851How could it be fairly argued, because gentlemen desired to limit the duration of this law, that they were unwilling to defend their country?
40851How could that little island( England) command such influence in foreign dominions?
40851How could that share be estimated?
40851How could the motion be necessary-- how be useful?
40851How could they be collected?
40851How could this be, when they had no right to be deprived of?
40851How could this be?
40851How could we say what our relation is, except we determine what is our relation with respect to the treaties subsisting between the two countries?
40851How did the bankrupt law operate upon the planter?
40851How did the gentleman mean to go, and how take peaceable possession?
40851How did the matter stand?
40851How does that honorable gentleman get his information?
40851How does the gentleman from Virginia know what light this information may throw on the subject?
40851How does the matter now stand?
40851How is a naval force to guard us, which Great Britain can destroy, whenever she pleases, even in time of war?
40851How is it to operate?
40851How is that to be formed?
40851How is the independence of the judge more affected by the one act than by the other?
40851How is this question to be decided?
40851How is this to be done?
40851How long can we expect to maintain the other distinctive qualities of the magistracy of the two countries, when this sameness is established?
40851How long is it since we have discovered the malignant qualities which are now ascribed to this law?
40851How must they, then, get support?
40851How progressing?
40851How so?
40851How then can this House meddle with that part of our property?
40851How then can we commiserate with it as an unfortunate country?
40851How then can we deliberate on this subject, unless we know the degree of probability there is, that it will be carried into effect?
40851How then could it be expected that, at such a period, even the semblance of justice could be done to the subject?
40851How then could the gentleman from Pennsylvania say that Holland has no navy?
40851How was it terminated?
40851How was this to be ascertained but by inquiry?
40851How was this to be done?
40851How was this to be done?
40851How would this resolution then stand?
40851How would you bear up, not only against the force of the enemy, but against the irresistible current of public opinion?
40851How, he asked, would this operate?
40851How, he would ask gentlemen, could this be granted, and yet retained?
40851How, then, can the gentleman with truth say that we have deviated from the law of nations?
40851How, then, could the respective States of Virginia and Maryland a moment longer possess the jurisdiction?
40851How, then, he asked, could they make their observations on it as they had done?
40851How, then, he asks, can we expect to protect our commerce by a navy?
40851How, then, is the nomination of a Minister to be understood?
40851How, then, was it possible to do without accredited agents to attend to our concerns in foreign countries?
40851I ask gentlemen, what is there in the constitution to prove their signification to this end alone?
40851I ask him how he would remedy this evil as he calls it?
40851I ask you, Mr. Chairman, if any system could be devised more likely to produce vexation and delay?
40851I ask, gentlemen, is it not unfriendly and wrongful?
40851I ask, if you do not, by such treatment, put the Government entirely into their hands?
40851I ask, was this a public treaty?
40851I say, sir, these were her motives in agreeing to that measure; and did she not evince a magnanimous spirit by doing it?
40851I wish to know if the establishment of this principle requires facts?
40851If Congress can derive no solid benefit from the exercise of this power, why keep the people in this degraded situation?
40851If Congress exercise exclusive legislation, does it not follow that no other body can exercise any legislation whatever?
40851If Congress had not power to legislate on the African trade, then why did they say it was with a committee?
40851If a man is to be subject to a prosecution for his opinions, what will be the consequence?
40851If all these parties are agreed to revoke their act, I wish to know who is to dissent to it, or what obstacle can prevent its being rescinded?
40851If an opinion upon a fact be expressed, and that opinion is false, scandalous, and malicious, ought it not to be subject to prosecution?
40851If as a constitutional organ of the Government, where is the power given to the Senate?
40851If from the cabinet, are we, the representatives of the people, to obtain it from him?
40851If gentlemen are against finishing these frigates, why do they not come forward and declare it?
40851If gentlemen were then wrong, is that a reason why they should continue to act wrong?
40851If it was desirable, who could undertake it, who encourage it, like this House?
40851If it were, why pass such a bill at this time, when it could not go into operation?
40851If not, how could it be improper for us to seize the only moment which was left for the then majority to do what they deemed a necessary act?
40851If not, what did all that had been said amount to?
40851If nothing was intended but a mere incorporation, why not apply to the State that could incorporate such a body?
40851If one person in particular has the sale of his debates to this House, will it not destroy the advantages any other can derive from it?
40851If receded, what would be the situation of the Territory?
40851If the House decide that the Government is bound to relieve in one case, are they not bound to afford relief in all similar cases?
40851If the Intendant is to be controlled by the Minister, would he have taken a step so important without his advice?
40851If the United States were to become underwriters to the whole Union, where must the line be drawn when their assistance might be claimed?
40851If the debtor States were not to pay their balances, why settle the accounts?
40851If the doors shall be closed, can not we still agree to the resolution?
40851If the expense is to be provided for, how is it to be done?
40851If the gentleman from Delaware, or other gentlemen thought so, why not combat a decision at the time?
40851If the permission were once granted to one, would it not be necessary to extend it to all?
40851If the sentiments were agreeable to the minds of the House, why waste our time to alter mere expressions while the sentiment is preserved?
40851If the spirit which last session gave existence to sixteen new judges continued, who could say by what number they would be limited?
40851If there was nothing improper, why should they fear to trust the Senate with it?
40851If these expenses were to be incurred for five thousand men, what would be the expense of an Army of thirty thousand men?
40851If these sentiments were true, why not express them?
40851If they had not a right to permit it, whether they are not bound to prohibit it?
40851If they had power, where was the impropriety of referring, at least that part which could be considered?
40851If they have the right to punish libels, or false, or malicious attacks, why include them in this act?
40851If they were to pay at this rate for overlooking the timber for one ship, what might they expect would be the expense of a navy yard?
40851If they were, the only difference between us now is, what are the proper means to obtain this great end?
40851If they will not say this, must they not allow that the constitution is positive in prohibiting any change in this respect?
40851If they, then, were compelled to protect commerce, he asked if there was any other way of doing it than by a Navy?
40851If this diversity of sentiment exists, ought not the evils under the judiciary law to be very great before we touch it?
40851If this exercise were to be allowed in any case, why could it not be allowed in the present?
40851If this is the case, and the House knew it, why not say so, and make preparations accordingly?
40851If this reasoning is correct, can you repeal a law establishing an inferior court, under the constitution?
40851If this were not the intention, why resist the amendment?
40851If we agree to the resolution, do we not pledge ourselves to increase this force?
40851If we are bound by the acts of the old Congress, are we not equally bound by those of the last session?
40851If we thus give away the people''s money, said he, shall we not be charged with rapaciously putting our hands into their pockets?
40851If you destroy all law and government, can the few oppress the many, or will the many oppress the few?
40851If, said he, you incorporate men to build a University, are you not pledging yourselves to make up any deficiency?
40851In a Republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important?
40851In a court from which no one had an appeal and to whom it belonged to establish the leading principles of national jurisprudence?
40851In a court, the judges of which are appointed by the PRESIDENT, by a jury selected by an officer holding his office at the will of the PRESIDENT?
40851In making treaties he wished to know what was meant by two- thirds of the members of the Senate present?
40851In short, does it appear that even Spain herself thought it an object of any importance?
40851In what part of the constitution is it declared to be adopted?
40851In what part of the constitution is such power delegated to this House?
40851Indeed, can it, in the nature of things, be one of the rights of freemen to do injury?
40851Instead of inducing them to behave better to us, had it not been with a knowledge of this that they have offered us fresh insult and indignity?
40851Institutions for promoting it grow up, supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety?
40851Is America, said he, arrived at this melancholy state?
40851Is American character worth nothing, that we should thus, in my judgment, improperly, attempt to destroy it on this floor?
40851Is a law that has received the varied assent required by the constitution, and is clothed with all the needful formalities, thereby invalidated?
40851Is he a strict common lawyer, or a special pleader?
40851Is he acquainted with chancery law?
40851Is he bold enough to denounce this measure as one of the Federal victims marked for destruction?
40851Is he prepared to say it will throw no light on this subject?
40851Is it a license to injure others or the Government, by calumnies, with impunity?
40851Is it a strange thing, I would ask gentlemen, for a State to grant charters?
40851Is it at present for the public convenience?
40851Is it because the Legislature may, at pleasure, set aside a treaty?
40851Is it less expensive for individuals, or for the public, than it would be in some of your commercial cities?
40851Is it necessary, when the whole nation is alive, to be moderate in the expression of our ideas?
40851Is it not because popular opinion was called on to decide every thing, until those who wore bayonets decided for all the rest?
40851Is it not before us?
40851Is it not natural for the people to ask why Congress do not call for this information?
40851Is it not rather a degraded state?
40851Is it not reasonable, then, that an institution of this kind should be established in that place?
40851Is it not time to gain information?
40851Is it not well known that those debts were part of the price of our Revolution?
40851Is it not your great duty to promote the public good; and can that be more completely promoted in any other way?
40851Is it possible for any man to read the constitution with attention, and then suppose that such could have been its design?
40851Is it possible that twelve thousand dollars can be necessary for the two Houses?
40851Is it proper, Mr. N. asked, for legislators to be placed on this ground?
40851Is it safe?
40851Is it the design to tell us that its day has not yet come, but is approaching; and that the funding system is to add to the pile of Federal ruins?
40851Is it the law of England, at any particular period, which is adopted?
40851Is it then for this House to say they will not attend to the petitions of our citizens?
40851Is it to be a river, or a line of marked trees?
40851Is it too much to say of such a calculation, that it is a paltry calculation, unworthy of a statesman, and befitting only a schoolboy?
40851Is murder prohibited, and may you shut a man up, and deprive him of sustenance, till he dies, and this not be denominated murder?
40851Is no punishment to be inflicted on such a person?
40851Is not this a strange situation?
40851Is not this, said Mr. N., an acknowledgment of the effect which this law will have?
40851Is our present situation calculated to produce this effect?
40851Is such a thing possible?
40851Is that a Government of laws which leaves us no security but in the confidence we have in the moderation and patriotism of one man?
40851Is that a measure of general defence which has diminished confidence in the Government and produced disunion among the States and among the people?
40851Is that formed by the constitution?
40851Is that wonderful man who presides over the destinies of France, ignorant or unmindful of these forms?
40851Is the creation of judicial officers the only thing committed to their discretion?
40851Is the gentleman really in earnest in his inquiries at this time?
40851Is the idea of a separation of these States so light and trifling an affair, as to be uttered with calmness in this deliberate assembly?
40851Is the power claimed proper for Congress to possess?
40851Is there a State in the Union which has not adopted it, and in which it is not in force?
40851Is there an offensive sentence either to the Court of Spain or the Republic of France?
40851Is there any condition annexed to the judge''s tenure of office, other than good behavior?
40851Is there any doubt that we shall not stand in need of information when we come to discuss points connected with this subject?
40851Is there no instance of a similar situation to be found in history?
40851Is there not reason to believe gentlemen hope to conceal the full extent of their principles, by bringing them into operation only by degrees?
40851Is there then nothing more?
40851Is there, then, I ask you, any other mode for perpetuating the memory of such transcendent virtues so strong, so impressive as that which we propose?
40851Is this House free from it?
40851Is this a desirable state of things?
40851Is this all our boasted acquisition, in return for the struggle we have made for our country?
40851Is this an Address or an insult?
40851Is this conciliation?
40851Is this equitable?
40851Is this fair, sir?
40851Is this not calumny of the darkest hue?
40851Is this not war?
40851Is this system so very vicious, that it deserves nothing but abhorrence and destruction?
40851Is this the case?
40851Is this the language of irritation?
40851Is this the mark of respect we ought to show to the first man in the nation?
40851Is this the way in which six hundred thousand men are to be stigmatized?
40851Is this to control succeeding rulers in their wild, their mad career?
40851Is this wise?
40851Is this, said he, a desirable state for the Legislature to be placed in?
40851It is not want of respect that should prevent us, but are we provided to go into all the consequences attending a new negotiation?
40851It is true, this place may be settled by foreigners; but can we suppose that any native citizen, who values his political rights, will come here?
40851It may be said that you print your journals; but who reads them?
40851It was a Judicial question, and the House ought not to pretend to determine the point; why, then, should they take up time upon it?
40851Let me ask if this was not a vicious construction of a court of the highest authority and greatest importance in the nation?
40851Let me ask, is there any thing in this calculated to gratify the courtly delicacy of a Castilian?
40851Let me ask, sir, what could the judges do?
40851Let me now ask, if the compensation allowed to these judges is extravagant?
40851Let the gentleman from New York classify the claims as he pleases, can he tell the extent of the demands?
40851Let the inquiry be made, of whom do the judges hold?
40851May not equal oppression be imposed upon the people by giving your judges exorbitant salaries as by increasing their numbers?
40851May not the same corrupt and unprincipled motive which would lead men to the raising of an army of judges lead them to squander the public money?
40851May they not amount to five million or ten million of dollars?
40851Might not sixty as well as sixteen, with salaries of twenty thousand, instead of two thousand dollars, be provided for in this way?
40851Might there not be other applications?
40851Mr. B. asked, would these gentlemen admit that Nash was guilty of the dreadful murders committed on board the British frigate?
40851Mr. B. said, he would inquire whether the present salaries were a reasonable and just compensation for the services performed?
40851Mr. B. wished to know to whom they are to be attached?
40851Mr. BAYARD asked for information whether it was in order for him to state that he withdrew his resolution?
40851Mr. BUCK asked if, when on the question on the resolution,( if, adopted,) a separate vote could be given?
40851Mr. COIT wished to know whether it was necessary for the United States to intermeddle with this?
40851Mr. DANA thought this a most extraordinary resolution indeed?
40851Mr. DAWSON asked if these resolutions were not necessarily connected with a subject which the House had determined should be discussed in private?
40851Mr. DAWSON inquired if the same rules that applied to the House, did not also apply to Committees of the Whole?
40851Mr. GALLATIN asked whether he understood the SPEAKER rightly, that a motion for a reference to a committee superseded a motion for postponement?
40851Mr. GALLATIN inquired from what document Mr. SMITH took his calculations?
40851Mr. GORDON wished to know what part of the resolution the gentleman from Virginia was not ready to act upon?
40851Mr. H. asked on which branch of this rule could the arguments of gentlemen be predicated?
40851Mr. HARPER asked, if the report of the committee should not be agreed to, whether the resolution might not then be agreed to?
40851Mr. HARPER had yesterday said that the impressments were few; but how were we to be certain of that?
40851Mr. HARPER inquired of the SPEAKER whether that was the usual mode of proceeding?
40851Mr. LIVINGSTON desired to know wherein he had attempted to ridicule the resources of this country?
40851Mr. MURRAY inquired when the fire happened at Lexington?
40851Mr. N. asked whether this bill did not go to the abridgment of the freedom of speech and of the press?
40851Mr. N. asked whether we could ever hope to succeed in a plan of this kind?
40851Mr. NICHOLAS asked whether it had heretofore been usual, in the case of a new House, to swear the members before the choice of a Speaker?
40851Mr. NICHOLAS asked whether it was in order to abuse any class of citizens in this manner, and particularly since no motion was before the committee?
40851Mr. NICHOLAS asked whether it would not then be in order to postpone the consideration of the subject?
40851Mr. O. inquired if the House was ready to do the first?
40851Mr. President, are we then to understand that opposition to the majority in the two Houses of Congress, is improper, is indecent?
40851Mr. R. WILLIAMS wished to know whether the new census proposed to be taken was to affect the representation as well as the tax?
40851Mr. R. said, if he had not, how was he to know whether it was good or bad?
40851Mr. RANDOLPH said he would ask the gentleman from Delaware, whether he had seen any indisposition in that House to discuss the subject?
40851Mr. S. SMITH asked if this were not the precise motion decided yesterday by the House?
40851Mr. S. asked if this mode was not perfectly just and fair?
40851Mr. SMILIE would ask whether the Supreme Court in such a case as this could be denominated an impartial tribunal?
40851Mr. SPRIGGS said it had been inquired why the Legislature of Maryland could not have granted the commissioners what they now pray for?
40851Mr. SWANWICK asked the gentleman what security there was in a peace with Algiers?
40851Mr. SWANWICK considered the question to be to this effect: whether the debates be under the sanction of the House or not?
40851Mr. W. LYMAN said, the question was, whether the House would incur the expense of$ 1,600 to supply the members with copies or not?
40851Must it be acknowledged as the prerogative of that State to impose a Chief Magistrate on the Union?
40851Must they hire a man for this purpose?
40851Must we not judge of it by its intrinsic merit?
40851Must you resort to Maryland for protection, and wait on her measures?
40851No, said he, you have not: what is your answer?
40851Now of what do courts consist?
40851Now the question is whether, if the offices are abolished, those who filled them before they were abolished are entitled to salaries?
40851Now what has the information desired by gentlemen to do with any such negotiation?
40851Now when there were no services to be performed, what salary could there be allowed, or what retribution demanded?
40851Now, sir, is it not our duty to consult our country''s interest, before we take this rash step, which we can not recall?
40851Now, suppose in the French Treaty there were the same provisions as in the British Treaty, would this have produced payment?
40851Now, what could possibly be in possession of that Department?
40851Of any resignations of the office of judge of the circuit court, in order"that a salutary system might take effect?"
40851Of what nature should these be?
40851Of what use, Mr. G. asked, had been the reference of a set of resolutions made some days ago by Mr. SITGREAVES?
40851Of whom shall your judges be independent?
40851On the other hand, what do you see?
40851On the passage of the law of last session, did we hear any protest against its unconstitutionality from the Supreme or district courts?
40851On the question whether the Senate would advise and consent to the ratification of the third article of the convention?
40851On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
40851On the question, Shall this bill pass?
40851On the question, whether the Senate would advise and consent to the ratification of the third article?
40851On the question, whether the Senate would advise and consent to the said additional article, as amended?
40851On the question,"Will the Senate advise and consent to the adoption of this article?"
40851Once take that step, and what obligation was there in Congress to remain here?
40851Or could they say that no part of the 80,000 militia, ordered to be held in readiness, would not be called into service?
40851Or does he believe that these events will be handed down in association with the bloody buoy, and Porcupine''s works?
40851Or had the PRESIDENT set a bad example, by living in a style of extravagance and splendor?
40851Or has he had time to examine whether that decree is really in force, or not?
40851Or has not the invariable course been to seek reparation in the first place by negotiation?
40851Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him?
40851Or is it abridged by a law to restrain lying?
40851Or is the judgment of this House so feeble, that it may not be trusted?
40851Or was he the very leader of the band that broke down these constitutional ramparts?
40851Or was the power placed in them to be exercised like other duties, according to justice and propriety?
40851Or was there a difference of right, because Virginia, with its extent and population, could make more clamor than any other State?
40851Or would it be proper to sit down, satisfied that our enemy will not invade us, though they see we are not prepared to meet them?
40851Or would they be ready to forfeit the revenue arising from it?
40851Or would you be bound to retain them, lest it should infringe a private right?
40851Or, if they could, can they find time to hear and decide causes?
40851Or, that there were in that case no measures adopted?
40851Or, will gentlemen say it was their intention to place themselves in this situation?
40851Ought it to be rejected on the ground of jurisdiction?
40851Ought not the House to be possessed of all the important information in the power of the Executive to give?
40851Ought not this person to perform the object, although the particular mode of using the means has not been prescribed?
40851Ought our country to remain in such cases dependent on foreign supply, precarious, because liable to be interrupted?
40851Ought they not, then, he asked, to devise some species of tax by which to draw some part of the revenue from the inhabitants of the back country?
40851Ought they, then, to support the doctrine which hereafter may be practised on to the full extent?
40851Ought we not to aim at harmonizing, instead of dividing our citizens?
40851Ought we not, therefore, on such a subject, to take immediate means to gain information?
40851Our trade became so insecure, that it was necessary to do-- what?
40851Patriotism could not be purchased, and should they despair of getting a man to fill the office of PRESIDENT without they increased the salary?
40851Perhaps he has formed from his own mind a proper selection for our children, and is against the press handing down any thing else?
40851Perhaps he might be asked, if we were, then, to be left without protection?
40851Put the case to its consequences, and what becomes of the check?
40851Questions arise whether both descriptions of sufferers ought not to be provided for?
40851Returning to the question of foreign political intercourse: Was it proper to bring it back to what it was eighteen months ago?
40851Shall he, and he only, have the public ear?
40851Shall it be confided to men immediately responsible to the people, or to those who are irresponsible?
40851Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe?
40851Shall the Speaker have the discretion of saying what debates shall be taken and what shall not?
40851Shall then a mistaken spirit of economy, and a still more mistaken jealousy arrest us?
40851Shall they obey God or Mammon?
40851Shall we abandon our duty?
40851Shall we repress truth?
40851Shall we sacrifice the interests of our constituents to a sense of politeness to these gentlemen?
40851Shall we send a Minister hampered by such a resolution?
40851Shall we shut the door against individual benevolence?
40851Shall we sit down contented under the imputation of lukewarmness in this cause?
40851Shall we thereby invite her aggressions?
40851Shall we, said Mr. D., because our seamen have been first injured by Great Britain, when France uses them still worse, abandon them?
40851Shall we, said he, treat the citizens of Savannah with more disrespect than the people of St. Domingo?
40851Should I be doing right, said Mr. G., to say that I believe that this section of the bill is an effect of that negotiation?
40851Should he, from unavoidable accidents, be cast into prison, and his family reduced to misery and distress?
40851Should we now say they should be at our direction, and that we would not grant money without?
40851Since our treaties were always made by special Envoys, what advantage could it be to have numerous Ministers Plenipotentiary in Europe?
40851Sir, after a declaration of this kind, can you retract?
40851Sir, said Mr. R., whom does this infraction of the treaty and the natural rights of this country most intimately affect?
40851So we are told!--But if there be blame, on whom does it fall?
40851Still, if the gentlemen would not agree with him as to the unconstitutionality of the measure proposed, he would ask, was it expedient?
40851Suppose Georgia had a title to this territory, had not the United States the power of depriving Georgia of it?
40851Suppose a libel were written against the PRESIDENT, where is it most probable that such an offence would receive an impartial trial?
40851Suppose a majority of_ one_ was obtained on the report, what end would be produced?
40851Suppose such an alliance was formed, would it not be said that Congress are bound to carry it into effect?
40851Suppose the PRESIDENT should, after this, appoint officers to enlist men for the frigates, how could the House refuse to pay them?
40851Suppose the persons deny your power-- how are your committee to enforce their mandates?
40851Suppose these taxes are removed, are not the products of the country increasing?
40851Suppose this power is doubted?
40851Suppose we go into a Committee of the Whole, what light can we expect from their deliberation?
40851Suppose we pass a law which calls upon the PRESIDENT to act, what ought the PRESIDENT to do?
40851Suppose you had no law at all, could the rich oppress the poor?
40851Suppose your courts of law claim cognizance as a case of libel, are you to have two prosecutions and two trials for the same offence?
40851Suppose your reliance had been altogether on this broken staff, and not on the elective principle?
40851Suppose, as the gentlemen wish, we say we will indemnify, does that pay the claims?
40851Suppose, said Mr. H., we were to give thirty thousand dollars towards this loss, what would it be when divided among the whole Union?
40851Suppose, said he, persons should claim to be Electors, who had never been_ properly_ appointed, should their vote be received?
40851Surely it would not; and is it not the duty of every good citizen to heal, as far as possible, the wounds of society?
40851That he would be punishable for concealing a treason who could not be punished for plotting it?
40851That the moment they throw off the French yoke, they will receive all the assistance from this country which a free commerce can give them?
40851The CHAIRMAN asked what Message?
40851The SPEAKER asked, whether it was the pleasure of the House that the Sergeant- at- arms should be sent for Mr. LYON?
40851The SPEAKER said the question was, whether it should be committed or not?
40851The SPEAKER said, then you do accordingly agree to this proposition?
40851The United States intend to exercise jurisdiction over that Territory, and was there any more reason for excepting this jurisdiction than any other?
40851The bill having been determined to be read a third time, the usual question was put by the SPEAKER,"For what day shall it be made the order?"
40851The charge is easily made, but has the gentleman the means of supporting it?
40851The fires at New York, Baltimore, and Charleston, had been mentioned; but what were the means of Savannah when compared with New York?
40851The first inquiry was, whether the law of nations permitted the merchant vessels of neutral nations to arm?
40851The first question was, then, whether that Administration had been marked with wisdom, firmness, and patriotism?
40851The first thing he should ask was, Is such a thing desirable?
40851The following question was then put,"Shall this bill pass?"
40851The gentleman from Connecticut had said, why send a Minister Plenipotentiary to London or Paris, any more than the other Courts?
40851The gentleman from Georgia had objected to the reference because the petition contained a system of facts which_ he said_ was not true?
40851The gentleman from New York has asked, triumphantly asked, what power exists in our courts to deliver up an individual to a foreign Government?
40851The law for authorizing the building of the three frigates?
40851The only question is, How it shall be performed?
40851The only question is, whether it will promote the taking of French privateers?
40851The only question, said he, is, if your property is unjustly attacked, will you defend it?
40851The previous question was then put in this form:"Shall the main question( viz: the resolution for reprimanding the offending members) now be put?"
40851The previous question was then put,"Shall the main question be now put?"
40851The question arises, by what tenure?
40851The question before the House was not, Will we resent it?
40851The question being,"Shall this bill pass?"
40851The question is, what power is thus to be limited and checked?
40851The question was put,"Is the decision of the Chair right?"
40851The question was then put, shall the bill pass?
40851The question was, whether the papers before them afforded reason to believe that legal evidence of the title did exist?
40851The question was, whether they were to go over the same ground every four or eight years of furnishing the house of a new PRESIDENT?
40851The second is, if further provisions are necessary, must they be made by amendment to the constitution?
40851The simple question was, which of the two grounds the House would take?
40851The true question is, were there courts enough under the old system, to do the business of the nation?
40851The truth of these despatches admitted, what was your Government to do?
40851The words are general,"all treasons, felonies,& c."Why are they confined in construction to British subjects?
40851The yeas and nays were taken on the question,"Shall this bill be postponed till the first Monday in December next?"
40851Then gentlemen get up and ask what we are to do with three frigates?
40851Then why postpone it?
40851Then, how could any gentleman say this was a trifling question, and one with which the House had nothing at all to do?
40851These are my objects; do they not entitle us to the information asked?
40851They certainly will not; for who would consent to sit here, or of what use would it be, under such conditions?
40851They could appoint Commissioners to settle the accounts, but could they impose the debts upon the States?
40851They might do, sir, for a tribe of starving Indians; but is this the rank that we are to hold among the nations of the world?
40851This being established, the inquiry was, to what department was the power in question allotted?
40851This being the case, he asked gentlemen which they would choose?
40851This is, Shall the amendment be received or not?
40851This was novel, and what result did it lead to?
40851To calm those irritations which disturb its repose?
40851To deprive them of the common right of participating in the passage of laws which all the citizens enjoyed?
40851To remove all things which may alarm, torment, or exacerbate?
40851To take a fair view of the resolutions, what did they amount to?
40851To the Judiciary: What is the language applied to them?
40851To what point, therefore, could these discussions lead?
40851To what source, then, shall we resort for a knowledge of what constitutes this thing, called misbehavior in office?
40851To what will not this dangerous doctrine lead?
40851To whom are these appearances to be made?
40851To whom are these services to be rendered?
40851To whom were they pledged, and for what?
40851Under all these grievances, what, said he, are we called upon to do?
40851Under these circumstances, Mr. S. wished to know why their petitions should not be taken into consideration?
40851Upon this subject, so very important, are they to be kept in the dark?
40851Upon what ground could he found such charges?
40851Upon what ground does the member from Vermont stand?
40851Wanting wisdom and morals, how would they use it?
40851Was a loan of money accomplished?
40851Was any gentleman in the House bound to be satisfied, with the gentleman from New York, that all the facts necessary to be known were furnished?
40851Was any gentleman prepared to say how many would be made?
40851Was contempt the way to recommend attachment to the Government?
40851Was every gentleman in the House bound to confine himself solely to the resolutions before the House?
40851Was he forgetful of his duty?
40851Was he to determine the point whether France has authorized hostilities against the United States?
40851Was he to send forward to the seat of Government to be instructed what to do?
40851Was he to stand still without making any attempt to avert the danger?
40851Was it a circumstance which must ever be remembered with mortification, and which therefore will never be forgiven?
40851Was it a desirable object to do away a great evil?
40851Was it adopted by the courts?
40851Was it announced to the President of the United States, in the usual forms of civility between nations who duly respect each other?
40851Was it by the constitution?
40851Was it conceivable that to her the place could be of any importance?
40851Was it criminal to say that the Executive is supported by a party?
40851Was it erroneous or criminal to say that debts and taxes were the ruinous consequences of war?
40851Was it in his power to repel and punish the indignity put upon the nation?
40851Was it intended by this resolution to charge the committee with inquiring into a breach of privilege as it respected the majority of this body?
40851Was it not an order to bring France to terms by distressing her islands?
40851Was it not as well to decide on this resolution in this committee as in any other committee?
40851Was it not clear to every one that the country was going fast into a state of war, and( in the words of Mr. SITGREAVES) was it not to be expected?
40851Was it not probable then, he would ask, that the PRESIDENT would proceed to complete those frigates, according to the power given him?
40851Was it not to be supposed that contracts were entered into for that purpose?
40851Was it not true?
40851Was it not, therefore, prudent to keep a watchful eye in this respect?
40851Was it possible, he asked, for a Government to exist, when this confidence was refused to one of its branches?
40851Was it proper for this country, he asked, to turn its attention towards marine strength?
40851Was it that the members of Congress were assembled on the banks of the Potomac, with Virginia in view on the other side?
40851Was it the opinion of those gentlemen that the record was to be found in the charge of murder against that illustrious character?
40851Was it the sense of that House?
40851Was it warranted by any act of Congress, or by the practice of the State?
40851Was it when three- fourths or four- fifths of a town was destroyed, or what other proportion?
40851Was it, that one of the candidates was a Virginian?
40851Was not every advance, on our part, for an adjustment of differences, met with new injuries and new insults?
40851Was not such an opinion of things, he asked, calculated to induce France to believe that she might make her own terms with us?
40851Was not this, he said, encouragement to put a period to that man''s existence?
40851Was not, then, this spot become the permanent seat of the Government of the Union?
40851Was official notice of it given to the Government of this country?
40851Was that opinion then correct, and now false, in the estimation of gentlemen?
40851Was the President of the United States the clerk of the court, to keep the records of it?
40851Was the argument not in point; or was it the declaration of his own opinion, as he went along, that was out of order?
40851Was the gentleman serious when he made this remark?
40851Was the gentleman, sir, acquainted with the fact when he made this statement?
40851Was the intention of the committee to have reference to the taking of free negroes and selling them as slaves, or the taking slaves to make them free?
40851Was the memory of that great man to be perpetuated by a heap of large inanimate objects?
40851Was then, he asked, a question of war a card of politeness?
40851Was there any reason since to alter our opinion?
40851Was there any thing in these men, he asked, that should prevent every kind of assistance being bestowed on them?
40851Was there not cause for anxiety, when a nation, contending for the right of self- government, was thus attacked?
40851Was there nothing, Mr. R. asked, to admonish us to take a measure of this kind?
40851Was there nothing, he asked, which called for a declaration of the kind proposed?
40851Was this decent or indecent?
40851Was this defensive?
40851Was this indecent in them?
40851Was this indecent?
40851Was this, he asked, the state of society?
40851We are asked by the gentleman from Virginia if the people want judges to protect them?
40851We are asked, why relinquish these balances before we are solicited by the States?
40851We are averse to take up the motion of the gentleman from Connecticut, and wherefore?
40851We asked if cards of hospitality were in the mean time necessary?
40851We asked what had led to our present conversation?
40851We have been asked, if we are afraid of having an army of judges?
40851We may tell him of his wisdom and his firmness, but what of all that unless we connect it with his Administration?
40851Were his nerves unstrung?
40851Were not gentlemen any longer to express their difference of opinion?
40851Were not the Detroit, and several other forts within our territory, held ten or a dozen years by Great Britain, in direct violation of a treaty?
40851Were not the different departments, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial, assembled, according to the constitution, in this District?
40851Were there none of these judges ready to plunge their swords in the American heart?
40851Were there not great doubts existing throughout the United States?
40851Were they asleep on their post?
40851Were they not, then, to be called upon for money to man the frigates?
40851Were they so at present?
40851Were they then to act as if the law had been repealed?
40851Were they to go to war to avenge this partition?
40851Were troops ever raised in a different manner?
40851Were we to give up our commerce?
40851Were we to suppose that the President had already taken measures to_ revenge_ the injuries of the United States?

40851What are their duties?
40851What are they given for?
40851What are we to understand by this remark of the gentleman?
40851What are we to understand by this right, given by God and nature?
40851What avail our toasts-- our boasted recollections of him, and regret at his fate-- if we take not every opportunity to alleviate that distress?
40851What but this compact-- what but this specific part of it, can save us from ruin?

40851What disguise?
40851What do gentlemen understand by"the freedom of speech and of the press?"
40851What do the gentlemen tell us?

40851What does all this mean, sir?
40851What does the constitution say?
40851What does the resolution call for?
40851What effect could a discussion have, but to show the world that there were_ parties_ in the House, and to raise a rancorous disposition?

40851Whether he is in any way connected with the British Government, or not?
40851Whether his ideas go to independence or not?

40851Who will venture on it; because, where will you draw the line?
40851Who would withhold a few dollars from his purse to facilitate it?
40851Who, said he, is the man who has this proof?
40851Who, sir, I would ask the gentleman, are my coadjutors?
40851Who, sir, proved fatal to the liberties of Rome?
40851Who, then, are, in reality, the advocates of a limited authority, and who are the champions of a dangerous and uncontrollable power?
40851Why are we told of the inconsistency of our means?
40851Why can not they obtain this power which is asked of us of the State where it is wanted?
40851Why combine it with considerations connected with negotiation?
40851Why did they commit spoliations upon our commerce long before the British Treaty was ever dreamt of?
40851Why do gentlemen tell the House of the danger of irritating France?
40851Why do not gentlemen give away that which they have some authority or right to bestow?
40851Why do not these"express acts of Parliament"change the law as to others than"British subjects?"
40851Why do we hear of such things on this floor?
40851Why do we want information, but that we may have a more clear view of the general subject?
40851Why does the PRESIDENT communicate these things to us, if we are not allowed to express any sentiments about them?
40851Why give one a privilege more than another?
40851Why has he first learnt this offensive act from those who suffer by it?
40851Why has this document been so sedulously kept from the public eye?
40851Why insinuate that the Government had been wrong?
40851Why is he thus held up to contempt and derision?
40851Why is it now deemed requisite to abrogate the treaties by which this country has been connected with France?
40851Why is it refused to the Federal Constitution?
40851Why is the gentleman from Pennsylvania so very anxious on the subject?
40851Why is this practice, hitherto unopposed, now to be broken in upon?
40851Why lock him up there?
40851Why not decide its other proportions?
40851Why not furnish the American people at once with the real and the whole project of himself and his friends?
40851Why not seize then what is so essential to us as a nation?
40851Why not then restore the people to their former condition?
40851Why object then, in a case where there was a difference of opinion, to refer the decision to an impartial tribunal?
40851Why pass acts fitted for a state of war, without declaring that that is the state of the country?
40851Why postpone it?
40851Why prevent his being able to support his family?
40851Why send him to jail?
40851Why should a heavy fine and imprisonment be made the penalty for carrying on a trade so advantageous?
40851Why should it not be sent there, and a profitable return be made?
40851Why should the House trouble itself to sanction any particular work?
40851Why should the individual members of either branch, or either branch itself, have more privileges than him?
40851Why silent on the Legislature?
40851Why such declamation?
40851Why take it to a select committee?
40851Why then divide it into little detached parts?
40851Why then do gentlemen, who on those occasions approved of these measures, now despair of negotiation?
40851Why then go into a committee?
40851Why then put off the decision of a claim in his opinion just, and to which the House ought not to shut their ears?
40851Why this provision?
40851Why was that State to be selected out from all others?
40851Why was the boundary of the United States always fixed at 31?
40851Why were they silent till within a few weeks before the election of our President?
40851Why, asked Mr. N., was this law originally passed?
40851Why, he asked, did foreigners seek a residence in this country?
40851Why, is there any crime in printing a minute of our transactions?
40851Why, said he, shall we, who are a Confederacy of the Democratic Republicans, everlastingly keep our eyes upon the pageantry of Eastern Courts?
40851Why, then, ask for it?
40851Why, then, do gentlemen complain?
40851Why, then, endeavor to stir up the feelings of the public against it by alleging it to be just cause of complaint?
40851Why, then, mask his proposition?
40851Why, then, refer this resolution calling for information to a committee?
40851Why, then, rise for the purpose of referring it to a secret committee?
40851Why, then, shall we proceed to measures which must inevitably involve the country in war?
40851Why, then, should we hazard the being involved in European broils?
40851Why?
40851Why?
40851Why?
40851Will any gentleman say it is for our personal convenience that the seat of Government is now at this place?
40851Will any man undertake to say, that the privilege of the Parliament of Great Britain ought to be that of the Congress of this country?
40851Will any one say that a man who does not keep the laws ought to be allowed to make them?
40851Will gentlemen look back to the histories of other countries, and then tell us the people here have nothing to apprehend from themselves?
40851Will gentlemen say it is to be found in the force of this wise precedent?
40851Will gentlemen say that the same liberty of writing and speaking did not exist then that now exists?
40851Will gentlemen say they will pay all demands before they know any thing of their nature or amount?
40851Will gentlemen sit here and shut their eyes to the state and condition of their country?
40851Will he deny that this was a measure to which we had been urged for years by our adversaries, because they foresaw in it the ruin of Federal power?
40851Will he say that premises and conclusions are the same thing?
40851Will it be contended that such great trusts ought to be reposed in feeble or incapable hands?
40851Will it be expected, that I should quote Sidney, De Lolme, Montesquieu, and a host of elementary writers, to prove this assertion?
40851Will it be made a question whether it is proper to ask for information?
40851Will it be said that there is a security to the freedom of mankind from the moderation with which this enormous power is to be exercised?
40851Will it be said, that although you can not remove the judge from office, yet you can remove his office from him?
40851Will it not be a declaration to the remaining judges that they hold their offices subject to your will and pleasure?
40851Will it not manifest more magnanimity, more rationality, to abide by it until we try it; instead of taking up a pen and dashing it out of existence?
40851Will the adoption of these resolutions give us a single ship or gun?
40851Will the gentleman say, that the direct tax was laid in order to enlarge the bounds of patronage?
40851Will the gentlemen say that these judges are ambassadors, other public ministers or consuls, or that they are a state?
40851Will the judges rudely declare that you have violated the constitution, unmindful of your duty, and regardless of your oath?
40851Will the present repeal of the internal taxes interfere with the doing substantial justice to our merchants?
40851Will the same navy be more efficacious in our case, than in the case of Holland, or Spain, or Portugal?
40851Will these resolutions, then, said he, if adopted, tend to this point?
40851Will they not say the President has done his duty in stating the fact?
40851Will they remedy the evil by excluding the stenographers from places within the bar?
40851Will this Government not be chargeable with having assisted in detaching such a colony from its Government?
40851Will this satisfy the just expectation of our country?
40851Will we not be classed with the robbers and destroyers of mankind?
40851Will you call the militia from the North to assist their Southern brethren?
40851Will you give up commerce, or build a Navy to protect it?
40851Will you not, then, be obliged to make a general provision that all claims, so circumstanced, shall be allowed?
40851Will you remember, sir, that they held the power of life and death, without appeal?
40851Will you secure their seasonable aid, bring them early to the fields they are ordered to defend?
40851Will you then confine the President, in relation to these powers, to a Peace Establishment?
40851Will, then, Mr. Chairman, any gentleman hesitate a moment to pronounce the rule of apportionment which was adopted unjust, unequal, and erroneous?
40851With all the deference to their talents, is not Congress as capable of forming a correct opinion as they are?
40851With respect to the motion, Mr. L. asked, to whom was application to be made?
40851With respect to the price of salt at Fort Pitt, as a gentleman had observed, it might be high, but was this occasioned by a duty?
40851With that meek and peaceful spirit now so strongly recommended, we submitted to this insult, and what followed?
40851With this knowledge, so plainly derivable from the policy pursued by the Legislature, what was the Secretary of the Navy to do?
40851Without meeting?
40851Wonderful indeed is this sudden disposition to confidence?
40851Would any gentleman say that it was policy not to legislate about 700,000 enemies in the very body of the United States?
40851Would any man, said Mr. H., who shall read this passage, say that the system of these gentlemen is a peace system?
40851Would any person deny that, through the agency of the Executive, constitutionally exercised, the injury was redressed?
40851Would calmness be consistent if entering wedges were prepared to ruin the property of whole estates?
40851Would conduct like this comport with the gentleman''s ideas of national honor, about which we have heard so much in the course of this debate?
40851Would gentlemen feel calm if measures were taken to destroy most of their property?
40851Would gentlemen say that the Executive ought to appoint persons to office who professed an opinion contrary to its own?
40851Would he have had the people of the United States relinquish without a struggle those liberties which had cost so much blood and treasure?
40851Would he march at the head of the_ posse comitatus_?
40851Would he place the memory of WASHINGTON on a footing with that of a rich man''s mistress?
40851Would it be more respectful that an answer should be sent by this House, which, for want of time, had not been sufficiently considered?
40851Would it have been a proper return for the unanimity with which your committee was chosen?
40851Would it have tended to conciliate?
40851Would it not be absurd still to say, that the removed judge held his office during good behavior?
40851Would it not involve an inconsistency, that ought not certainly to be chargeable upon the framers of the constitution?
40851Would it not place the Territory in the situation of a conquered country?
40851Would not public opinion be as ready to sanction the one as the other of these detestable acts?
40851Would not such a procedure subject us to the just censure of the world, and to the strongest jealousy of those who have possessions near to us?
40851Would not the French say, if they were applied to for redress,"You knew these were pirates; why did you not defend yourselves against them?"
40851Would not the House have contravened the constitution, by taking from the President the power which by it is placed in him?
40851Would not the people of this country think it their duty to destroy a power which could not be trusted; and would not foreigners despise it?
40851Would not these two give to the legislature a majority?
40851Would not this be a most extraordinary doctrine?
40851Would not this be to acknowledge that there our regulation pinched her?
40851Would not this be to impair the tenure of the office which was abolished, or to which another officer might have been appointed by a new regulation?
40851Would such a procedure meet the approbation of even our own citizens, whose lives and fortunes would be risked in the conflict?
40851Would the civil jurisdiction of the town have repelled the bayonet?
40851Would the committee be willing that Savannah should be erased from the revenue?
40851Would the decree stop the importation of British goods?
40851Would the gentleman yet wish to leave the District without laws, and merely lest it should take away their suffrage?
40851Would the gentleman, then, inform the House what point he wished to ascertain, or in what he expected additional proof?
40851Would there be a power in Virginia and Maryland, if receded, to prevent a resumption?
40851Would they admit that he falsely made the claim?
40851Would they discard the property of that class of citizens who depended upon it for their support and their wealth?
40851Would they not laugh at you when you told them their term of office was out?
40851Would they not say, in the language of the gentleman from New York, though the law that creates us is temporary, we are in by the constitution?
40851Would they not say, we belong to inferior courts?
40851Would this be the way to keep the Government together, or to preserve harmony in the country?
40851Would you annihilate a system because some men under part of it had acted wrong?
40851Would you know the sentiment of England?
40851Would your national honor be free from imputation by a conduct of such inconsistency and duplicity?
40851Yes, he would answer; else how could an appropriation in general terms have been made for the intercourse with foreign nations?
40851Yes, sir, we wish for peace; but how is that blessing to be preserved?
40851Yet, what superior advantage have they in the Government generally?
40851You are to inquire how he became possessed of a certain bill which he published; what kind of an inquiry is this?
40851Your press might have been enchained till doomsday, your citizens incarcerated for life, and where is your remedy?
40851[ Mr. ALLEN exclaimed, who said it?]
40851[ Mr. HARPER asked if there was any question before the committee?]
40851[ Mr. OTIS asked who were to be the judges?]
40851[ Mr. RUTLEDGE asked whether this had been done?
40851and are not our resources increasing with our population?
40851and asking those whose duty it was to inquire, is there no sedition here?
40851and did he not see that that would be a check upon the abuse of it in either House, since it was a weapon which both could use?
40851and have we not done all we can conveniently do for the defence of our commerce?
40851and if the effect of his resolution should be to show that the stipulations are injurious to our rights, would he know how to act?
40851and in what cases they were to defend themselves?
40851and of course are we not prohibited from establishing one system in one place, and a different system in another?
40851and that however flagrant that abuse of power, it is remediless, and must be submitted to?
40851and whether, if they do say so, the fact ought not to be inquired into?
40851and will you punish every man who shall repeat, print, or publish what is made public on this floor?
40851and, if Congress had that cognizance before that time, have those amendments taken it away?
40851asked, could be placed in a nation which one day makes a treaty, and the next violates it?
40851but I do not think it is any evil; would he have these people turned out in the United States to ravage, murder, and commit every species of crime?
40851conquer France?
40851did the Government say it?
40851for money from the poor without law?
40851is it no crime to publish a bill while before this House?
40851is it possible that I have heard such a sentiment in this body?
40851on the duties which he now pays?
40851on what did this claim rest?
40851or a murder committed on board such a frigate, against the peace of any other than the British Government?
40851or in a court independent of any influence whatever?
40851or what connection had we with, any other, besides commercial?
40851or, Thirdly, whether they can be made by law?
40851said Mr. S., would it be to carry humility in his front to say,"I come to place you on the same footing with the most favored nation?"
40851said he, can it be supposed that three frigates would give us that ridiculous kind of spirit which would induce us at any rate to go to war?
40851to collect it; but what was twenty- five compared with three hundred per cent.?
40851was it not enough to submit to injury; shall we not only receive the stripes, but kiss the rod that inflicts them?
40851with restrictions, perhaps, to guard against the fraudulent usurpation of our flag?
40499If it should be the judgment of Congress that it would be most expedient--what can be more explicit than this language?
40499In this case, shall a secure port be stipulated, and the pecuniary and honorary considerations granted?
40499--The question, I apprehend, is whether we will take the petition up for a second reading, and not whether it shall be committed?
40499112; difficult to see where the danger lies, 112; what is meant by responsibility?
40499116; is five thousand dollars in proportion to the services of the Vice President?
40499197; can two parties exist in a well organized government to dispute about property and have no judge?
40499197; is not the want of consideration a good plea?
40499230; plans of the friends of emancipation, 231; negroes are inferior race, 231; slavery is no new thing, 231; does slavery weaken the Southern States?
40499231; is public opinion against slavery?
40499232; this squeamishness is very extraordinary, 232; consequences of emancipation, 233; if importation prohibited, will that species become extinct?
40499233; does slavery vitiate and debase the mind of the owner?
40499233; does toleration of slavery bring reproach on America?
40499233; will the abolition strengthen South Carolina?
40499234; was South Carolina wanting in patriotism?
40499318; peace concluded April, 1783, 318; what was the intention of the parties in this contract?
40499318; what does the law of nations say?
40499318; when did the war end?
40499324; is it expedient to do it?
4049959; what are the objects of Government-- revenue one of the first?
40499647; view of legislative and treaty- making powers, 648; how is the will of the people expressed in the constitution to be understood?
40499676; is it paramount to a law, and can it repeal law, although itself can not be acted upon by the legislative power?
4049989; the power of removal exists somewhere, and where?
40499A Treaty is a bargain between nations binding in good faith; and what makes a bargain?
40499A gentleman has asked, what is meant by responsibility?
40499A gentleman has said, that Parliament interfered, not to violate, but to perfect the contract: but what did Parliament do?
40499A sufficient force must be raised for their defence; and the only question now to be considered is, what that force shall be?
40499AMES.--I wish the committee may consider, with the attention the subject demands, whether the duties are too high or not?
40499AMES.--If we are to go to war, will it not be a prodigious saving of expense to have all matters ready beforehand?
40499After a silence of some minutes, Mr. LIVERMORE asked, what part of the report it was expected that gentlemen should speak to?
40499After all, however, should the unlimited powers he had mentioned( and such powers must always be unlimited) be wantonly abused, was there no remedy?
40499After having thus formed his opinion relative to the Treaty, his next inquiry was, is the Treaty constitutional?
40499After these preliminary observations, Mr. H. proceeded to inquire, not what ought to be, but what was the Constitution of the United States?
40499Again, what may be the result of the precedent relating to the session of Congress?
40499Also, gentlemen declared they would not recede from their former determinations; did they expect that the majority would recede?
40499And On the previous question,"Shall the said main question be now put?"
40499And although the excise may be somewhat unpopular, although money may still be wanted; what is the excise?
40499And are we( said Mr. S.) to stand up here, and tell the world that we dare not perform an act of benevolence?
40499And are we, meanwhile, to remain inactive and irresolute, and make no efforts to repel their intended attacks?
40499And between the Vice President and the Senate?
40499And can an act possibly meet the disapprobation of a single person which does not infringe his rights, and which puts money into his pocket?
40499And can not he infuse his dangerous and specious arguments and information into them as well in the closet, as by a public and official communication?
40499And can we be so unreasonable as to suppose that they would ever consent to a Treaty that had not such terms of reciprocity?
40499And demanded, if, by the purchase, they were divested of that quality?
40499And did the United States pass laws to punish the counterfeiting the notes of that bank?
40499And do not all those nations, as well as every other, come into our ports on the same terms with the British?
40499And do we, in the last case, say to these unfortunate sufferers, commence suits against those who have injured you?
40499And does not the constitution expressly declare that the House solely shall exercise the power of originating revenue bills?
40499And had all their professions been only a veil to hide their love of power?
40499And had the prosecution succeeded, would the Secretary have had an appeal to the public?
40499And have we not the volunteers, sir, in this country to protect our rights?
40499And here he would inquire if the Codorus Creek, which runs through Yorktown into the Susquehanna, was, or could be made navigable?
40499And how can you discriminate such claims from those rising from savage depredations on your frontier settlers?
40499And how would it be relished by them?
40499And if they are given up, how are we to form seamen to man our future navy?
40499And if war had been the consequence, how were we to have recovered the amount of the spoliations committed on the property of our merchants?
40499And if, of right, they can carry these into effect, will they regard the means, though they be expressly pointed out?
40499And if, under these circumstances, abused, would the injury be more tolerable?
40499And is it not a principle that taxation and representation ought to go hand and hand?
40499And is it not strange?
40499And is not the sum now proposed more than either the first or last holder, till within these few days, supposed would be paid him?
40499And is not the sum now proposed, more than either the first or last assignee ever contemplated, till within a few days past, would ever be paid him?
40499And is this indiscriminate charge, without the least respect to characters, a decent or a just return for a conduct like this?
40499And on the previous question,"Shall the main question be now put?"
40499And on the previous question,"Shall the said main question be now put?"
40499And on the question, Shall the main question be now put?
40499And on the question, shall the main question be now put?
40499And pray, sir, what in the world is equal to it?
40499And shall we now hesitate, and tamely suffer them to dictate to us?
40499And the question was then put, Shall this bill be rejected?
40499And then the main question being put, Do the House agree to the said third resolution, as reported by the Committee of the whole House?
40499And then the main question,"That the House do agree to the said resolution?"
40499And to guard herself against such measures, may we not expect she will lay her hand upon all our property on the ocean?
40499And were they not partial ministers of their own acknowledged principles?
40499And were they to judge for the whole Continent?
40499And what might not be the consequence of their awakening from their lethargy?
40499And what must be their astonishment when they hear that some people amongst us think that Great Britain has conferred no favor upon us by doing it?
40499And what was the slender basis on which the presumption was built?
40499And what, sir, would otherwise be the result?
40499And whether certain tracts of land should be reserved by Congress for certain purposes?
40499And whom, sir, do we mean to gratify?
40499And why depend on Portugal?
40499And why, let me ask, shall we go and fix upon the banks of a rapid river, when we can have a more healthful situation?
40499And will the enemy wait till they can be collected?
40499And would gentlemen say that the negotiation had not been attended with beneficial consequences to this country?
40499And would not this be a greater advantage to the United States than if they went up the rivers St. Lawrence or Mississippi, and paid no duty?
40499And, after he had employed an agent to make a contract, with full discretion, and he had in pursuance of his authority made it, was it not binding?
40499And, if we have, are we not to make use of it in judging of the expediency or inexpediency of the Treaty?
40499And, secondly, Were there 60,000 inhabitants in the Territory?
40499And, secondly, will such a construction warrant the establishment of the Bank?
40499Are Republicans irresponsible?
40499Are crimes more frequent in that country than in the other States?
40499Are crimes more frequently committed there?
40499Are despots alone to be reproached for unfeeling indifference to the tears and blood of their subjects?
40499Are gentlemen afraid to leave them to their own unbiased judgment?
40499Are gentlemen apprehensive we shall be led by this officer to adopt plans we should otherwise reject?
40499Are not the annual revenues sufficient?
40499Are not their capitals for trade larger than ours?
40499Are our debts ascertained?
40499Are taxes to be paid exclusively by the rich?
40499Are the PRESIDENT and two- thirds of the Senate Congress?
40499Are the eastern members to dictate in this business, and fix the seat of Government of the United States?
40499Are the posts to remain for ever in the possession of Great Britain?
40499Are the services of the Senate of more importance than those of the Representatives?
40499Are the truths in it applicable to the great object we are about to decide?
40499Are the very clods where we tread entitled to this ardent preference because they are greener?
40499Are there more executions?
40499Are these the men, asked Mr. C., who ought to have all this mass of Congressional odium cast upon them?
40499Are they amenable to the people for their conduct?
40499Are they not a polished people, sensible of the rights of mankind, and actuated by proper sentiments of humanity?
40499Are they not continuing to do so, and is it not in contemplation to sell large quantities of lands in that country, that have never been purchased?
40499Are they the men to swallow their resentments, who so lately were choking with them?
40499Are they the only people whose feelings are to be consulted on this occasion?
40499Are they the only persons who possess religion and morality?
40499Are they to look into another bill for that purpose?
40499Are they, for the stealing of a horse, or some such thing, to cross the line in armed bodies, and act just as they please?
40499Are we afraid that the President and Senate are not sufficiently informed to know their respective duties?
40499Are we never to stand upon a certain and solid foundation?
40499Are we not now sitting, in our sober discretion, a General Government, without the semblance of restraint?
40499Are we not so deeply in debt as to give us reason to believe that it will require many years to emancipate ourselves?
40499Are we not the sole judges; have we not a right to determine for ourselves?
40499Are we sure that it will come back into our possession again?
40499Are we to apply to foreign banks or individuals?
40499Are we to apply to the banks already established in the States for loans?
40499Are we to depend, then, on taxes for commanding money in cases of urgent necessity?
40499Are we to say, we will not be bound by your transfer, we will not treat with your representative, but insist upon a resettlement with you alone?
40499Are we to send a special committee to inform them?
40499Are we to take the circuitous route of impeachment?
40499Are you prepared to do so just now?
40499Are you ready to answer?
40499Are you ready to speak in your defence?
40499As to the flag, how can it require an answer from the Senate?
40499As to the third point, should not his estate be indemnified?
40499BOUDINOT.--The question seems to turn merely on this point, whether the Vice President shall receive a per diem allowance, or an annual salary?
40499Be it so-- what follows?
40499Besides, where will this business of censorship end?
40499But I ask gentlemen, whether Great Britain ever laid such a high duty in the first instance, as we are about to impose?
40499But I would ask if there is any power under heaven which could not be exercised within the extensive limits of this preamble?
40499But a distrust of the States is shown in every movement of Congress-- will not this implant distrust also in the States?
40499But admitting that they would not fight, to what would the argument lead?
40499But am I reduced to the necessity of proving this point?
40499But are not gentlemen who come from the most distant parts of the Union, compelled to relinquish every thing to attend here?
40499But are, he asked, gentlemen serious in these observations?
40499But can public necessity be urged in the present case to justify this kind of political robbery?
40499But did all this put an end to the war?
40499But did they want to bring forward an impeachment?
40499But do gentlemen consider the consequences of throwing all internal defence and distant expeditions upon the militia?
40499But from which of these measures is danger to be apprehended?
40499But gentlemen say,"Have we not as much power as the House of Commons in Great Britain?"
40499But he asked, if such would not be a vain attempt?
40499But he would ask those gentlemen, by whom the Government was to be dissolved?
40499But how do gentlemen handle this question?
40499But how does Congress get this power?
40499But how does it interpose and compel?
40499But how is it they are more concerned in this business than others?
40499But how will you prevent them?
40499But if it be partial or oppressive, are there not many instances in which we have laid taxes of this nature?
40499But if it was politic to lay an impost on cordage, would it not be the same with regard to hemp?
40499But if this were doubtful, where should they look for information?
40499But if you have two hands, both in the fire at once, will you pull out one before the other?
40499But is Congress going to legislate by strength of arm?
40499But is not the Secretary of the Treasury subject to blame?
40499But is there occasion for amendments to the Treaty- making power?
40499But is this the case of the domestic creditor of the United States?
40499But it is asked, if this Treaty be so unfavorable to commerce, why are the merchants so much in favor of it?
40499But it may be demanded, how are the frontiers to be protected, if the army was disbanded?
40499But it might be objected that a power so enormous, and comprehending such essential interests, might be abused, and thence asked, where is the remedy?
40499But let me ask, will not this as effectually destroy some parts, as if the correction had been made by way of incorporation?
40499But on what are a committee to confer?
40499But suppose they decline doing what you require, what is next to be done?
40499But supposing it to be done away, how do the constitutions of the different States stand on this head?
40499But the question is, what is that will, as expressed in the constitution?
40499But was South Carolina, at the commencement of the war, with all her slaves, backward in her resistance to Great Britain?
40499But was there no justice also due to the people of the United States?
40499But was this done by striking out and inserting other words in the great charter?
40499But were there no other ways of cancelling a Treaty?
40499But what are their immediate representatives to do, in case the bill be made perpetual?
40499But what did he do?
40499But what did the gentlemen who have delivered their sentiments say?
40499But what does this signify?
40499But what effect do these men suppose will arise from their exertions?
40499But what funds are to defray the increased expense of maintaining such a force as is now contemplated?
40499But what has been the practice?
40499But what has been the result of the system which has been pursued ever since?
40499But what has the House to do with this; or why should it become the censor and promulgator of the speeches of its own members?
40499But what have been the fruits of it?
40499But what have the citizens of the other States to do with our slaves?
40499But what is a law?
40499But what is the necessity of having a numerous representation?
40499But what is the object of the motion?
40499But what is the objection?
40499But what is this general welfare?
40499But what is this liberty which some appear to be so fond of?
40499But what is to prevent the greatest imposition in this business?
40499But what more can we do than pass a law for the purpose?
40499But what occasion is there for adopting such a resolution?
40499But what was the case?
40499But what would become of the acts of Congress?
40499But what, in this state of things, would restrain their piratical cruisers in the West Indies?
40499But where is the necessity of raising the impost to this degree?
40499But where was the government that had funded its debts under the circumstances of the American debt?
40499But who started this question?
40499But why did the creditors part with their acknowledgment of the debt?
40499But why do these men set themselves up in such a particular manner against slavery?
40499But why is this degree of caution necessary?
40499But why is this desirable?
40499But why should we lose time to examine the theory when it is in our power to resort to experience?
40499But why will gentlemen contend for incorporating amendments into the constitution?
40499But why, Mr. Chairman, should we hasten on this business of funding?
40499But would gentlemen infer from hence, that no alteration ought to take place if the manufactures were well established?
40499But, asked he, are precedents in war to justify violations of private and State rights in a time of peace?
40499But, if the sum voted was too small, what would be the consequence?
40499But, in taking the principle of territory, are the House to calculate on the uninhabited wilderness?
40499But, instead of this, what is proposed?
40499But, let me ask, if the Treaty should not be carried into effect, will that relieve that deserving class of our citizens?
40499But, said Mr. W., let us waive this subject, and inquire if negotiation had failed, whether war would not have been the consequence?
40499But, say those who hide the absurdity under the cover of ambiguous phrases, have we no discretion?
40499But, sir, is the whole morality of the United States confined to the Quakers?
40499But, sir, what is the situation of the people who hold these bills?
40499By applying proper rules of interpretation?
40499By emissions of bills of credit?
40499By loans at home?
40499By taxes?
40499By what magic can it be made to appear it will be more proper at the end of ten years?
40499By what provision of the constitution is the Treaty- making power, agreeably to the construction of the gentlemen, limited?
40499By whom, then, he would ask again, was the Government to be dissolved?
40499Can a market be obtained without the merchant?
40499Can any body of men to be raised in this country tread down the substantial yeomanry?
40499Can any of the Secretary''s plans be called bills?
40499Can any person, who has read our constitution, believe that it is in our power to pass a law without limitation?
40499Can any reason be assigned for making this distinction?
40499Can any solid argument against the resolution on the table arise from a conduct of this kind?
40499Can any thing show more friendly to the Union than adopting the constitution, and sending us here to administer it?
40499Can any thing tend more to make men think themselves mean, or degrade to a lower point their estimation of virtue and their standard of action?
40499Can gentlemen state more serious apprehensions in the former than the latter case?
40499Can it be supposed it would be necessary, said he, to give any member of this House double pay to accept of the office?
40499Can it be supposed that a part will be more desirous of promoting the good of the whole than the whole will of the part?
40499Can it be supposed that such a character as this is influenced by such a motive?
40499Can it be supposed that the name of Senators will render those members superior to their fellow- citizens?
40499Can not his friends introduce it as their own, by making and seconding a motion for that purpose?
40499Can the House listen seriously to such a proposition?
40499Can the advocates of the amendment even affect apprehensions that there is any intention to introduce a foreign nobility as a privileged order?
40499Can the human mind retain, with any great degree of decision, objects so extensive and multifarious upon a mere oral communication?
40499Can there be any foundation for alarm, when Congress expressly declare, that they have no power of interference prior to the year 1808?
40499Can they expect the planters to come in a body, and take off their goods upon their arrival?
40499Can things certain be balanced by things uncertain?
40499Can this Government, said he, protect its officers from the resentment of any one State in the Union?
40499Can this be the inference of common sense?
40499Can this possibly be a true construction of the Treaty- making power?
40499Can this, then, he would ask, be a bill proper to perpetuate, or fit for the restoration of the credit of the United States?
40499Can two parties exist in a well organized Government to dispute about property, and have no judge?
40499Can we desire any thing more ardently than a termination of the Indian war?
40499Can we find that she ever imposed a duty of six cents per gallon on molasses?
40499Can we retribute the sufferings which have been caused by the depreciation of our currency?
40499Can you then recover the money back again?
40499Certainly gentlemen would not pretend to bestow a privilege upon a man which he is incapable of using?
40499Congress having no money to give them, offered something; what?
40499Constituents made no scruple to tell Representatives of their faults, and he saw no reason why Representatives might not tell constituents of theirs?
40499Could any man tell?
40499Could any possible wrong be done to those who hold the domestic debt, by estimating it at its current value?
40499Could he look with affection and veneration to such a country as his parent?
40499Could it be pretended there was a shadow of authority given to the House of Representatives?
40499Could the House, in this case, exercise its discretion, whether or no a Convention should be called?
40499Could this be the fair construction of our so much boasted constitution?
40499Could we say, in such a case, that the tax had been uniform?
40499Did France before this war give us free trade to her colonies?
40499Did Holland, before the present war, open to us all her rich possessions in the East Indies?
40499Did any gentleman think there was sufficient evil in the late Treaty with Great Britain to authorize them in refusing to carry it into effect?
40499Did any member wish at this period to attempt this inquiry?
40499Did gentlemen wish to re- establish a temporary Territorial Government there?
40499Did he imagine that, as it is, they are not kept in a perpetual state of alarm, of exertion, and of danger?
40499Did it authorize a perpetual tax, irrepealable by the whole Legislature, without a breach of faith, according to received doctrine?
40499Did it authorize a plan for supplying former deficiencies, which it is admitted do not exist?
40499Did it authorize an entire provision for the public debt, past, present, and to come?
40499Did it bear a proportion to his services, or was it in proportion to what the members of the Senate and this House were to be allowed?
40499Did it condemn the doctrine of the majority?
40499Did it encourage the hopes of those who wished the establishment of Government upon the principle of equal rights?
40499Did it lead to a discovery of truth?
40499Did it not rivet the chains upon the people of England?
40499Did it render the people of Ireland more respectable in the eyes of the people of the United States?
40499Did not New York dispose of lands within her chartered limits, and from the sales become wealthy, as she has large sums in the funds?
40499Did not duty require a provision for the defence and safety of the United States by_ internal_ resources?
40499Did not this mean something more than the bare discharge of their expenses?
40499Did the General enter into these engagements out of personal regard to individuals, without a view to the public interest?
40499Did the House imagine that their censure, like the wand of a magician, would lay a spell on these people?
40499Did the Secretary apply the money borrowed in Europe agreeably to the legal appropriations and the instructions of the PRESIDENT?
40499Did the Secretary of the Treasury apply the money to other uses than the law directed?
40499Did the soldier accept of this offer?
40499Did these acts originate with the Executive?
40499Did they consider this House as the only branch from which any danger was to be apprehended?
40499Did they contribute to strengthen the country against invasion by staying at home and joining the invader as soon as he was successful?
40499Did they mean to rob the Almighty of what they call his prerogative?
40499Did they mean, that the first event which would put an end to their own authority should be the last act of Government?
40499Did they not refuse to correspond with any society that aided, or in any manner abetted, the insurrection?
40499Did they not, in the most pointed manner, discountenance any such proceeding?
40499Did they suspect the Legislature of doing wrong?
40499Did they turn themselves to industry and useful pursuits?
40499Did they, by their arms or contributions, establish our independence?
40499Did this act of submission render them more respectable in the eyes of the people of England?
40499Did this passage show that the PRESIDENT wanted them to intermeddle?
40499Did we go to the Emperor of Morocco, or to the Dey of Algiers, and challenge a passage for our ships up the Mediterranean?
40499Did we intend to rival the military establishments in Europe?
40499Did we judiciously examine whether the spirit of the law accords with the habits and manners of the people?
40499Do gentlemen conceive that on any occasion instructions would be so general as to proceed from all our constituents?
40499Do gentlemen contemplate to what issue these principles would lead?
40499Do gentlemen foresee the extent of these words?
40499Do gentlemen imagine that State will join the Union?
40499Do gentlemen mean that he shall give it piecemeal, by way of question and answer?
40499Do gentlemen suppose our laws, like those of the Medes and Persians, unchangeable?
40499Do gentlemen, said he, consider the importance of the power they give the officer by the clause?
40499Do the United States avenge these murders?
40499Do these gentlemen require any thing more respecting the powers of Congress, than a description of the ends of government?
40499Do these men expect a general emancipation of slaves by law?
40499Do they believe the capitals of those banks adequate to the exigencies of the nation?
40499Do they demand back the property carried off?
40499Do they leave their State and relinquish their occupations?
40499Do they mean to purchase their freedom?
40499Do they not admit that He is the source of all good, and can they refuse to acknowledge it?
40499Do they not observe that the fate of the Government is deeply involved in the decision?
40499Do they understand the rights of mankind, and the disposition of Providence, better than others?
40499Do we charge bribery or corruption?
40499Do we ever originate any money bill?
40499Do we impeach the Executive?
40499Do you know one Robert Randall?
40499Do you mean to pay the principal and interest now due?
40499Do you think we should pay the tax?
40499Does Portugal open the Brazils?
40499Does Spain open her rich islands in the East and West Indies, and her immense possessions in South America?
40499Does any gentleman expect, while we have a public debt, to prevent speculation in our funds?
40499Does any gentleman imagine that an officer is entitled to his office as to an estate?
40499Does experience sanction such an opinion?
40499Does he infer that the people can, in detached bodies, contravene an act established by the whole people?
40499Does he mean that it shall lie dormant and never be exercised?
40499Does it consist in the exaltation of one man, and the humiliation of the rest?
40499Does it contain any thing which is not true?
40499Does not that new order prohibit, as much as ever, American vessels from carrying provisions to the West India Islands?
40499Does not the British Government wish to deprive us of this branch also?
40499Does she not receive every thing which she could have demanded in relation to that Treaty?
40499Does she, in the Treaty lately made, open even Florida, as Great Britain has Canada?
40499Does the House believe this?
40499Does the dignity of a nation consist in the distance between the first magistrate and his citizens?
40499Does the gentleman conceive that such only are delegated as are expressed?
40499Does the lawyer neglect his client?
40499Does the merchant forego his commerce, or the farmer his agriculture?
40499Does this look like a democracy, when one of the first acts of the two branches of the Legislature is to confer titles?
40499Does this mean a part of the people in a township or district, or does it mean the representatives in the State Legislatures?
40499First, what article shall be the subject of a particular tax, and what shall remain in the common mass liable to an impost_ ad valorem_?
40499For what is the tendency of this counterfeit alarm?
40499For what purpose, then, shall it be committed?
40499For what reason have we made a difference between the President and Vice President?
40499For what rights of a citizen will be deemed inviolable when a State renounces the principles that constitute their security?
40499From whence, he asked, do we acquire the authority to exercise this power?
40499Gentlemen had said, Shall this House not have as much power respecting Treaties as the House of Commons in Great Britain?
40499Gentlemen on the other side had spoken of their feelings; did they suppose, he asked, that those who were in the majority had not feelings?
40499Gentlemen say it will work injustice; but are we not as much bound to repair the injustice done by the United States?
40499Gentlemen say the Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for the information he gives the House-- in what manner does this responsibility act?
40499Gentlemen say-- why provide the money if it be not wanted?
40499Gentlemen talked about impeachment?
40499Government, in the most solemn manner, pledged itself to make compensation to the soldiers, have they done it?
40499Grant it; but can they say that we shall never have a war with any European power?
40499Great Britain obtained no soldiers from her East and West India settlements, were they therefore useless?
40499Had experience proved that the negroes would not make good soldiers?
40499Had it a concurrent right with the States?
40499Had not our neutrality been the occasion of our wealth and prosperity?
40499Had not the managers of our Government kept a watchful eye on our affairs?
40499Had she a claim under the Treaty of 1783, which is forgotten?
40499Had the Executive avowed the plan of the Secretary of War, or his reasoning?
40499Had the public mind been less disturbed on the late Treaty than in 1793?
40499Had they a right to assist in the formation of Treaties in such a manner as that a Treaty would be incomplete without their sanction officially given?
40499Had they done so?
40499Had they not a claim on the House to adopt such means as would enable the citizens in every State to judge of the propriety of public measures?
40499Had this done any good to the cause?
40499Has not the Legislature done so before?
40499Has that been altered since by the incorporation of amendments?
40499Has the constitution made this House a diplomatic body, invested with the powers of negotiation?
40499Have any nations in the present European war, premised their operations by a declaration?
40499Have not express charges, as well as vague rumors, been brought against him at the bar of the public?
40499Have not the public a right to know the sentiments of the House on every question?
40499Have the newspapers reprobated it?
40499Have the principles on which you ground the reproach upon Cabinets and Kings no practical influence-- no binding force?
40499Have there not bills originated in this House which have caused the expenditure of much money to very little purpose?
40499Have these people here( the Democratic societies) any such opportunity?
40499Have they any right to interfere with our internal policy?
40499Have they not pushed conquests into the Indian country north- west of the Ohio?
40499Have they precedent for this assertion?
40499Have we heard any complaints against it?
40499Have we not laid extra duties on various articles, expressly for the purpose of encouraging various branches of our own manufactures?
40499Have we not, said he, been one of the happiest nations upon earth?
40499Have we received a power to exercise in wantonly oppressing those who gave it?
40499Have we, in truth, originated this money bill?
40499Have you any proof to cite that you are not guilty?
40499Have you got any new associates in this city?
40499Having stated these preliminaries, Mr. B. proceeded to inquire what were the powers attempted to be exercised by this bill?
40499Having this advantage, can it be doubted that we have not industry and enterprise to improve it?
40499He adverted to the idea of direct taxation, and inquired, on what principle will gentlemen consent to this mode of raising the necessary supplies?
40499He appealed to the feelings of every honorable man in the committee, whether demands for justice and reparation for injuries were enforced by threats?
40499He asked if any of the States had ever established various rates for their lands?
40499He asked if the Creeks performed a single tittle of the treaty of New York, about which there had been so much parade?
40499He asked if, before the purchase, the certificates were debts due from the United States?
40499He asked if, in the present situation of the country, all dependence was to be placed on commerce?
40499He asked what better time there was than the present for settling the amount of these claims?
40499He asked what would this countervail be?
40499He asked whether this Government was intended for a temporary or a lasting one?
40499He asked whether words could be devised that would place the new Government more precisely in the same relation to the real creditors with the old?
40499He asked, if, in such a case, it was competent to the House rightfully to withhold the means necessary for the performance of the public engagement?
40499He asked, upon parallel principles, what might Congress not do?
40499He asked, what was the authority of the United States?
40499He asked, who would lend us money, if there was such a difficulty in establishing funds to pay the interest of it?
40499He had asked, why, since the PRESIDENT had proclaimed a Treaty as the law of the land, which was not the law of the land, why he was not impeached?
40499He had said, how could they determine whether the Treaty was constitutional or not, or whether an impeachment was necessary, without information?
40499He inquired how the gentleman proposed to get information?
40499He inquired of him whether the House itself went into an investigation of facts in the first instance?
40499He inquired whether the House were to sanction and authorize the reports of the proposed stenographer?
40499He noticed the objection from banks banishing the specie; he said the surplus only would be sent out of the country; but is it given away?
40499He only wanted to ask whether the call for yeas and nays was withdrawn or not?
40499He proceeded to inquire whether this clause gives them the right to make Treaties the supreme law of the land?
40499He said, gentlemen asked who would be offended or hurt by this plan?
40499He then inquired what better time there could be for learning the number and extent of the losses than the present?
40499He then inquired whether, under the existing state of things, the Treaty ought to be rejected?
40499He then inquired, of what right does this incorporation deprive a single citizen?
40499He thought it advisable to guard against abuses; but has this abuse not already taken place?
40499He was next interrogated by the SPEAKER, as follows: Are you guilty, or not guilty?
40499He was then asked, whether the call of yesterday was valid to- day, or if it was necessary for the members to rise over again?
40499He would inquire how they became so?
40499He would inquire what Treaties could be entered into by the PRESIDENT and Senate, without infringing upon the powers placed in Congress?
40499His first inquiry, he said, should be, whether negroes were to be considered as property?
40499How are the judges to determine in the case; are they to be guided in their decisions by the rules of expediency?
40499How are those sentiments reconcilable to the oath we have taken?
40499How are we to form one?
40499How can gentlemen answer for this, who call themselves representatives, on the broad basis of national interest?
40499How can it be such an_ ex post facto_ law as is prescribed by the constitution, when that expression is conjunctive with a bill of attainder?
40499How can the business originate in this House, if we have it reported to us by the Minister of Finance?
40499How can they reconcile their conduct?
40499How can we help it?
40499How could certain members reconcile this proceeding with their former votes and language?
40499How could it then bear a comparison with that House, who were chosen by the whole people every two years?
40499How could they annul a State law, when the State would be able to plead a precedent on the part of Congress?
40499How could they be called freemen, if they were, against their consent, to be expelled from the country?
40499How could they delegate a power to others which they did not possess themselves?
40499How did that appear?
40499How is this to be done?
40499How long could an enlightened people remain in such a state of insensibility and torpor?
40499How many of them are springing up in the Northern States?
40499How many ways of proceeding lie open before us?
40499How retaliate?
40499How then can gentlemen assert that the powers of appointment and removal are incident to the Executive Department of Government?
40499How then do you propose to restrain the Secretary of the Treasury?
40499How then was he to find evidence of his behavior during such a length of time?
40499How was that money applied, and what will now be necessary?
40499How was this done?
40499How was this to settle the principle of excise?
40499How were they to regulate commerce?
40499How were we to act?
40499How will he please both?
40499How will they know the laws, if we do not understand the constitution after it has been in operation for nearly eight years?
40499How will this doctrine operate upon the power of appropriation?
40499How would he embarrass his family and property in such engagements?
40499How, then, can gentlemen from those States contend that the proposed duty is so much too high as to occasion the fatal consequences they foretell?
40499How, then, can gentlemen reconcile their conduct of this day to the liberality they have hitherto shown?
40499How, then, can gentlemen suppose the revenue ought to be perpetual, in order to be commensurate with the object?
40499How, then, is it possible they can continue their trade, when you lop off another part of their capital?
40499I am sensible this Treaty presents itself with an unfavorable aspect, and what is the reason?
40499I ask again, Mr. Chairman, if the people of this country possess less power than the people of that despotic Government?
40499I ask gentlemen, can there be a greater evil than this in any Government?
40499I ask, further, when such attempts have been made, have they not failed of success?
40499I asked those, as I might ask my colleague now, who of our constituents could calculate what he would save by any proposed reduction of our pay?
40499I asked, is not the assignment of certificates confirmed by the motion?
40499I asked, of what is the assignee deprived but of his late sanguine expectations?
40499I asked, where is the injustice of the State''s complying with its engagements made to the first holders of certificates as far as the case admits?
40499I asked, whether the proposition before us does not rather establish confidence in Government than the contrary?
40499I can not, for my part, conceive how any person can be said to acquire a property in another; is it by virtue of conquest?
40499I fear war as much as any man, when a pretext is given; but can it be seriously said a rejection of this Treaty is a cause of war?
40499I resort especially to the convictions of the Western gentlemen, whether, supposing no posts and no Treaty, the settlers will remain in security?
40499I say, would not such reflections, with ruin before our eyes, produce a degree of irritation in the most calm amongst us?
40499I trust it is neither too presumptuous, nor too late to ask, can you put the dearest interest of society at risk without guilt, and without remorse?
40499I will ask the gentleman by what precise authority he borrowed the money in Amsterdam and Antwerp, and paid it in Paris?
40499I will ask, are they more?
40499I will ask, though, is this country ever to be in a settled and quiet state?
40499I will ask, was it ever known in a Treaty, that a stipulation was made to give up property plundered after the peace?
40499I wish, therefore, to be ascertained of one fact, do the army wish a measure of this kind to take place?
40499I wonder where they are going so cheerfully?"
40499I would ask what state we were in then?
40499I would ask, if the other members of the Union are not also to be consulted?
40499I would beg to ask those, then, who are desirous of freeing the negroes, if they have funds sufficient to pay for them?
40499If I receive a favor, what but the sentiment of gratitude ought to direct me in my acknowledgments?
40499If a cargo of nails were to be sent to Carolina, I would be glad to know how we are to purchase it?
40499If a law is the expression of the will, must not an appropriation law be equally so?
40499If a permanent seat is established, why not go to it immediately?
40499If a war should suddenly break out, how is Congress to provide for it?
40499If a wish of Congress can bring them into the Union, why should we decline to express such a wish?
40499If any article is warranted on this account, how much more are we authorized to proceed on this occasion?
40499If authority beyond this is assumed, however trifling the encroachment at first, where will it stop?
40499If by the ill- timed promulgation of this report, we have laid the foundation for the calamity, ought we not to counteract it?
40499If every member is to be bound by instructions how to vote, what are gentlemen from the extremities of the continent to do?
40499If future difficulties should involve that nation still further, what must be the consequence?
40499If he can not be removed, I should suppose he can not be suspended; and what security have the people against the machinations of a bad man in office?
40499If his father had lived a few years longer, would there have arisen any question on this subject?
40499If it be true, then, can the PRESIDENT repeal, as he has by the Treaty, the laws of Congress, although by the constitution he can not negative them?
40499If it is inquired where we are to draw the line of a liberal construction, I will also inquire where the line of restriction is to be drawn?
40499If it is, is the conclusion not obvious, that Congress have power to pass laws for carrying these powers into effect?
40499If merchants can not get insurance, will they send their vessels out?
40499If not, then, 2dly, Whether both, or either, and which of them, ought to be ratified?
40499If our Senate should take any unwarrantable stride towards aristocracy, have we not the power to check them?
40499If sequestration is hostility, as he had heard it called, what, he asked, is condemnation?
40499If so, to what an extent must they go?
40499If so, what was that expense, or what will be the probable increase?
40499If so, will there be any economy in this mode of procedure?
40499If suspicion had so long existed against the integrity of the Secretary, why was not information called for at the beginning of the session?
40499If that was done, the Government would be removed to the Potomac; if not, we should stop short of it; and what would be the consequence?
40499If the House undertake to censure particular classes of men, who can tell where they will stop?
40499If the Indians are to be kept in peace by bribes, why not, in this, as in other similar cases, by presents and pecuniary rewards?
40499If the PRESIDENT and two- thirds of the Senate have a right to make a law, do Congress make all laws?
40499If the Potomac is struck out, are you sure of getting Baltimore?
40499If the Secretary has paid what was due, what then is the complaint?
40499If the Treaty had been the most complete and satisfactory, would it not be necessary to leave something to enforce its execution?
40499If the controlling influence of this House was added, would the power be less?
40499If the country had been plunged into a war, would it be as flourishing as it is?
40499If the member from Virginia( Mr. GILES) had been opposed to the Treaty going into operation, why did he not take the proper mode to prevent it?
40499If the next Legislature were disposed to violate the public honor, would the law now under consideration stand in their way?
40499If the officer misbehaves, he can be removed by impeachment; but in this case is impeachment the only mode of removal?
40499If the power flows from the nature and necessity of the case, it may be demanded, is the renot equal authority for the Bank?
40499If the thing is in itself right, why refuse to vote directly for it?
40499If then the fishermen ask you to restore only their own money, will you deny them?
40499If these facts are established by the committee, would it give equal satisfaction as if they were established by the House?
40499If these were really their sentiments, why did they not abide by them?
40499If they are, will they take them by force?
40499If they come here with badges at their button- holes, can you forbid them?
40499If they do, what is the injury arising from the adoption of the resolution intended to be submitted to the committee?
40499If they had such an abhorrence for slavery, why, said Mr. S., did they not cast us off and reject our alliance?
40499If they intermeddle in the business of sailors, why not in that of manufacturers and farmers?
40499If they will not be content with that, shall it be committed to investigate facts?
40499If this argument was founded in fact, it would put an end to all debates on all the new taxes; but what was this notable discovery?
40499If this doctrine prevails, to what a situation would the Representatives of a free people be reduced?
40499If this is the case, does it not imply a censure by the House on certain characters?
40499If this is the case, is there any person of humanity that would not wish to prevent them?
40499If this is the case, will a revenue law for one or two years bring that relief which is expected?
40499If this is to be adduced as a proof of the popularity of a measure, what are we to say with respect to a tax on tea?
40499If this right was denied them, where would the principle stop?
40499If this system should prevail, were we to receive British productions through other countries?
40499If to continue in session be an evil, why are we here?
40499If we are parties, what would be the decision before a court of justice?
40499If we do not mean to deceive, why not make the provision commensurate to the occasion?
40499If we pay this attention to them, in one instance, what good reason is there for contemning them in another?
40499If we refuse to say that the act itself is a crime, how can we condemn Randall as criminal?
40499If we relinquish this branch of the cod fishery, what is left us?
40499If we should go as far South as Baltimore, why not an equal distance south- west to the Potomac?
40499If what he said was not sufficient to disprove it, he asked where is the evidence to support it?
40499If you do not mean to indemnify, why inquire at all?
40499If, then, they chose to yield one species of property, might they not another?
40499If, therefore, some interpretation of the constitution must be indulged, by what rules is it to be governed?
40499If, therefore, we are forewarned, ought we not to be forearmed?
40499In addition to the loss of this Government, would not every member of the Legislature, he asked, lose his character, credit, and reputation?
40499In case of an army establishment, for example, suppose the PRESIDENT or Senate were to refuse their assent to the repeal of a law establishing it?
40499In cases of a more serious kind, is not sentiment the only prompt and enlightened guide of our conduct?
40499In discussing the question, he inquired, What has Congress already done?
40499In favor of the militia, it may be asked, who fought the battle of Bunker''s Hill?
40499In many cases the Executives are not in particular vested with the power of appointment; and do they exercise that power by virtue of their office?
40499In short, was not this a kind of argument infinitely more tending to the production of prejudice than to the discovery of truth?
40499In spite of this mock solemnity, I demand, if the House will not concur in the measure to execute the Treaty, what other course shall we take?
40499In such case, may not titles do an injury to the Union?
40499In this case a question arises: What is, upon the whole, most just and expedient?
40499In what does the case differ between the depreciated paper and the certificates?
40499In what manner had this trust been carried into execution?
40499In what mode are the memorialists to be informed of our humane dispositions?
40499Instead of Baltimore, is it not probable we may have Susquehanna inserted, perhaps the Delaware?
40499Is Congress vested with power to grant privileges contained in the bill?
40499Is he absolutely bound to perform what he is instructed to do?
40499Is his maxim supported by precedent drawn from the practice of the individual States?
40499Is it a narrow affection for the spot where a man was born?
40499Is it among the archives?
40499Is it because the feelings of the Friends will be hurt to have their affair conducted in the usual course of business?
40499Is it contended to be out of order?
40499Is it expected that a Senator shall eat more, or drink more costly liquors, than a member of the House of Representatives?
40499Is it expected, said Mr. N., that I am to abandon my independence for the sake of the PRESIDENT?
40499Is it for the_ undaunted_ and_ energetic_ countenance of the cause of France, in her struggle for freeing herself from despotic shackles?
40499Is it from such a nation( he asked) that we are to hope for justice?
40499Is it limited by any law past?
40499Is it limited by the provisions with respect to appropriations?
40499Is it necessary to add, that a powerful body of seamen, at some future day, may save us from the vast expense and danger of a standing army?
40499Is it necessary, or was it ever thought so, to make it a stipulation by Treaty?
40499Is it not an established principle amongst all civilized nations, that plundered property shall be given up?
40499Is it not because we have entertained too exalted ideas of our own national importance?
40499Is it not implied by all of them, that certain oaths, residence, and property, make the requisites to form citizenship?
40499Is it not on account of his superior station and his dignity?
40499Is it not our business to inquire into the cause of this strange conduct?
40499Is it not part of our legislative authority?
40499Is it not sufficient that their time and talents are given to the public?
40499Is it not the duty of the House to check this spirit of devastation?
40499Is it our present President?
40499Is it polite, is it generous, to force him to renounce it?
40499Is it politic and wise, then, Mr. Chairman, to exert the power contended for, even if it be authorized by the constitution?
40499Is it possible that any man can be hardy enough to avow them, and their ridiculous consequences?
40499Is it possible that these societies can exist, for any length of time, when they are of no real use to the country?
40499Is it possible to transport the revenue from one end of the continent to the other?
40499Is it pretended that the services and supplies were an inadequate compensation?
40499Is it reasonable to expect that men should sacrifice domestic ease and the interests of their families to serve their country?
40499Is it supposed that all this matter can go off without any noise or combustion?
40499Is it the_ manly_ demand of restitution made of Great Britain for her accumulated injuries that called forth the praise?
40499Is it to rouse again the sleeping apparitions which have disturbed the back country?
40499Is it to show that the mock dangers which they have pretended to dread are real?
40499Is it to them we owe our present happiness?
40499Is it true, that an unwillingness to pay debts hath been the principal cause of opposition to this Treaty?
40499Is it within the powers of this Congress to grant bounties?
40499Is it worthy the attention of Government that the cod fishery should be preserved?
40499Is it written?
40499Is not our public credit totally gone?
40499Is not the assignment of the certificates confirmed by the nation?
40499Is not the present a most favorable opportunity for holding up these people to popular resentment?
40499Is not this House excluded?
40499Is not this, as a principle, as novel, as improper, as that which alarms our opponents?
40499Is not, therefore, eight cents disproportioned to the rates fixed, or intended to be imposed on other articles?
40499Is that nation more debased than others?
40499Is the House to be told that, for the sake of harmony, they must give up their own powers and opinions?
40499Is the House to consider the present, or the expected population?
40499Is the Treaty- making power not a power vested by the constitution in the Government of the United States, or in a department or officer thereof?
40499Is the confidence of the people in the services, and patriotism, and wisdom of the Chief Magistrate diminished?
40499Is the power of establishing an incorporated bank among the powers vested by the constitution in the Legislature of the United States?
40499Is the zeal of gentlemen, who oppose this design, influenced by their despair of removing the seat of Government afterwards?
40499Is the_ habeas corpus_ act, or the statute_ De Tallagio non concedendo_ incorporated in_ magna charta_?
40499Is there a common centre?
40499Is there a man who does not believe that, had the treaty not been ratified, we should have had war?
40499Is there a reciprocal stipulation by Great Britain with respect to the articles unexecuted by her?
40499Is there another point of law and justice for the Government?
40499Is there any difference in effect between lodging general powers in a government, and permitting the exercise of them by subtle constructions?
40499Is there any fair construction by which the bill can be deemed an exercise of the power to borrow money?
40499Is there any impropriety in desiring them to consider a question which they have not yet decided?

40499Is there any time when the civil list will cease its demand?
40499Is there not more responsibility in one man than in large bodies?
40499Is this House to negotiate the Treaty over again?
40499Is this bill to borrow money?
40499Is this exciting mobs?
40499Is this fair?
40499Is this gratitude or insult?
40499Is this language to be used within the United States?
40499Is this pursuing a liberal system of politics?
40499Is this right, is this just, that all our rights should be thus bartered away under a Treaty- making power?
40499Is this so?
40499Is this the peace gentlemen undertake, with such fearless confidence, to maintain?
40499Is this to be the style of an American Congress?
40499Is this, he asked, consonant to the feelings of the House, and shall they not attempt to counteract its effects in the only constitutional manner?
40499It does not call for any thing to be done, then why a reference?
40499It had been asked if the PRESIDENT was responsible for the contents of this Report from the Secretary of War?
40499It had been asked why the call for information had not been sooner made?
40499It had been asked, what control the House were to have over this officer?
40499It has been asked, Is not the Senate as worthy of the confidence of the citizens of the United States as this House?
40499It has, indeed, been said, it will shorten our sessions; but would this be a benefit?
40499It is more than probable she will, and if she should, what remedy have we?
40499It is not for his gratification; for whose, then, are we to do this?
40499It is only to be inquired, then, whether this was a proper subject of retaliation?
40499It is said we have not done much, and what we have done is merely our duty, for which we receive wages?
40499It is the commercial importance of the city of London which makes it the seat of Government; and what is the consequence?
40499It is true, we may live for two dollars a day; but how?
40499It may be a future question, also, whether he is to be dismissed when the galleries are cleared?
40499It was a payment of our_ bona fide_ debts; what could we do?
40499It was acknowledged by every gentleman that the Treaty of 1783 was broken by the United States; and, if so, what could their negotiator do?
40499It was asked if the Treaty power could receive any check?
40499It was asked, by what means is the Government to administer redress?
40499It was asked, what would be the consequence of refusing to carry the Treaty into effect?
40499It was enough to fix the general principles, viz: Whether there shall be a General Land Officer and two subordinates?
40499It was nothing more or less than, would they or would they not now appropriate moneys to carry the British Treaty into effect?
40499It was true, that a proposition for postponement was made, but what was the extent of that postponement?
40499JACKSON.--Do not gentlemen think there is some danger on the other side?
40499Lastly, did it authorize an extensive increase of the Sinking Fund, which we are informed is one of the principal objects?
40499Let me ask gentlemen, if they, or any of their connections, would accept an appointment under this law, with such an exceptionable clause in it?
40499Let me ask, why there is for ever so much complaint against Great Britain because she does not open all her colonies freely to us?
40499Let us pause for a moment, and ask, Was this possible?
40499Let us, then, inquire, is the constituting a public bank necessary to these important and essential ends of Government?
40499Lewis.--Then it was, he said, that if it was not convenient for Mr. MURRAY to be concerned in a share in land, he might have it in money?
40499Little or nothing: how then could he ascertain who was a proper person to legislate or judge of the laws?
40499Look at the constitution of Great Britain; is that all contained in one instrument?
40499MADISON?)
40499Major Torrey died in September, 1783; shall this body decide against the settled rule of all the law courts?
40499Many exertions had he to make to feed the hungry and cover the naked; were not these for the public good, and shall his private property suffer?
40499May no other place be proposed?
40499May not Congress with equal propriety, undertake to regulate the tobacco, the rice, and indigo trade, as well as that of the fisheries?
40499May we promise ourselves more success in negotiation by laying down our arms, or by retaining them?
40499Might they not say that they were betwixt nations what bargains were betwixt individuals?
40499Mr. AMES then asked, whether it was not competent to put the previous question, viz: Shall this call be now taken?
40499Mr. BALDWIN asked if the Government of the United States of America was four or five times worse to be administered than the Governments in Europe?
40499Mr. BENSON wished the committee to consider what he judged to be a previous question, namely, how many departments there should be established?
40499Mr. BOUDINOT asked what assurance we have that Britain will not play the same game over again that she has done already?

40499Mr. DAYTON rose and asked,"Who shall decide, when doctors disagree?"
40499Mr. DEXTER interrupted Mr. HARTLEY to inquire whether, by the laws of this State, the property of an insurgent is forfeited for his crime?

40499Mr. GILES said this subject had struck him in two points of view: whether Congress are not precluded from exercising any discretion on the subject?
40499Mr. GOODHUE wished to ask Mr. CLAIBORNE one question,"Whether he found himself growing rich?"
40499Mr. JACKSON said, in reply to the inquiry of Mr. SEDGWICK--"Why have we made a difference between the President and the Vice President?"
40499Mr. LAWRENCE would inquire for what purpose the cession, mentioned in the constitution, was required?

40499Mr. MADISON asked if the quantity of rum so exported was very considerable?
40499Mr. NICHOLAS inquired if there was any law on this head?
40499Mr. PARKER wanted to know what was the object of gentlemen in the appointment of a Committee of Conference?
40499Mr. S. asked him, whether in the Senate?
40499Mr. S. asked, what, then, were they?
40499Mr. SMITH was asked whether the offer was that they were to be granted at an inferior rate?
40499Mr. STONE asked the gentleman last up, how he meant to have the amendments incorporated?
40499Mr. T. said, this is all the length which we mean to go, and can any body object to this?
40499Mr. Tilghman asked what Mr. MURRAY expressed to Randall when it was proposed to him to engage in the land scheme?
40499Mr. Tilghman asked, whether Mr. MURRAY did not, to get the man''s whole secret from him, go beyond his views to draw him on?
40499Mr. Tilghman then, through the SPEAKER, asked Mr. MURRAY whether he understood he was to pay for his share of land as the other associates or not?
40499Mr. W. SMITH then asked Randall, whether it was not true, that he spoke to Mr. SAMUEL SMITH before he spoke to himself?
40499Mr. W. asked, was this not done?
40499Mr. WHITNEY was next asked at what time he would be ready to proceed with his defence?
40499Must every transaction that took place, during the course of the last war, be ripped up?
40499Must they pay their expenses too?
40499My colleague says that he is not a man of fortune; but, has he not a profession by which he can make more than by his attendance on this House?
40499Need I say that we fly in the face of that resolution when we pretend that the acts of that power are not valid until we have concurred in them?
40499Negroes, it was said, would not fight; but he would ask whether it was owing to their being black or to their being slaves?
40499Ninety thousand dollars was all the money at stake; but what has since been seen?
40499No, sir; and is it in the contemplation of gentlemen to lay duties so high as to produce this equality?
40499No; but we solicited, and pay dear for that passage; or did we go to the King of Spain, and demand a free navigation of the Mississippi?
40499Now he would be glad to know if the distilleries and fisheries would not be precisely in the same situation, let which would take place?
40499Now will you urge in argument for taxing the poor, that they already practise that temperance which you desire to bring universally about?
40499Now, I ask gentlemen, whether the professed design of those duties was to raise a revenue, or to prevent the importation of those articles?
40499Now, he wished to know, what principle of justice authorized the committee to lay a duty of six cents on molasses?
40499Now, he would ask, if gentlemen could expect that the northern people would incline to go so far south?
40499Now, if these people were to petition Congress to pass a law prohibiting matrimony, would gentlemen agree to refer such a petition?
40499Now, in this case, what would you do?
40499Now, is it intended to determine a centre from these three centres?
40499Now, said he, do we think of refusing this privilege to all heretics in respect to political doctrines?
40499Now, what is meant by reporting plans?
40499Now, what more than this is required by the clause?
40499Now, will any Government take such measures in gathering in its harvest, as to ruin the soil?
40499Of individuals?
40499Of the Treasury Department, too, which is considered in other countries as possessing and exercising the means of corruption?
40499Of what use, then, was it to establish principles which could not govern the conduct of the House?
40499Of what?
40499On a division, shall the committee now rise?
40499On motion for the previous question, to wit: Shall the question be now put on the following preliminary resolutions?
40499On the first of June, the British were to give up the Western posts; if money was not appropriated, would they not be deceived?
40499On the other hand, were not a Greene and a Mifflin furnished from the Society of the Quakers?
40499On the other hand, whether it was not the most effectual mean of preserving his popularity, and of keeping him in office?
40499On their Representatives?
40499On what ground could this assumption have been made?
40499On what principle can this distinction then be contended for?
40499On what principle did he accept it?
40499On what then do the people depend for checking encroachments, or preventing abuses?
40499Once, however, he did see him; the first question of Mr. SEDGWICK was, from what State did he come?
40499Or does it speak the same language now, as it did at the time it was obtained?
40499Or does the Legislature establish them for the convenience of an individual?
40499Or how can they say it is more expensive to establish it in this way than in another?
40499Or is it wise to stand by and depend upon such a resource?
40499Or is the Speaker to write them a letter, or the Sergeant- at- Arms with the mace to wait on them?
40499Or rather, as my colleague has proposed, if they are incapable to pay both, will they not prefer a composition?
40499Or shall we send across the sea for loans?
40499Or shall we, by a candid and liberal construction of the powers expressed in the constitution, promote the great and important objects thereof?
40499Or should we drive all printers from us who take notes, for the inaccuracies of some?
40499Or the ruin of thousands and thousands by our delays of payment, and the consequent depreciation of our securities?
40499Or was it true, that this power was competent to treat with every government on earth but that of Great Britain?
40499Or was there any use for it but that the sentiments of every member might be known?
40499Or where is the justice of doing more for the assignee than he, or his assignor, expected could or would be done?
40499Or whether it restrained the States from exercising that power?
40499Or whether there was any authority given to the Union, with which the exercise of this right by any State would be inconsistent?
40499Or, if his life should not be invaded, what would its enjoyments be in a country odious to the eyes of strangers and dishonored in his own?
40499Or, will the Government of the United States support the claim of the injured against her own Executive?
40499Or, will you say that Congress might issue paper money?
40499Ought they, from their remoteness, to be kept in the dark, or to be furnished with such light as would only mislead?
40499Ought we to have at once acceded to hers?
40499Our understandings have been addressed, it is true, and with ability and effect; but, I demand, has any corner of the heart been left unexplored?
40499Perhaps I may be asked, Did not the States depend chiefly upon their own exertion for the defence of the frontiers under the old Congress?
40499Pray, let me ask, if Great Britain have not equally tied their hands?
40499Pray, would it not be a proper bar to the recovery of damages in a court of law to say Government has paid you?
40499Provisions had been made by this House to carry Indian Treaties into effect; but why?
40499SCOTT.--Has not this Government a right to restrain every wild- goose excursion into the woods?
40499SEDGWICK.--Has it not been said that there was a party in the United States, not only for aristocracy, but even for monarchy?
40499SWIFT) that, by paying these claims in the first instance, you are cutting the sinews of civil process?
40499Shall a Treaty repeal a law or a law a Treaty?
40499Shall his family be reduced to beggary, be stripped of their all, to discharge what the United States are in honor and in justice bound to pay?
40499Shall it be said, that the House have a discretion as to appropriations, and yet they must make them as directed by a Treaty?
40499Shall the House take no further measures on the subject, and receive the answer of the PRESIDENT as obligatory with regard to the question?
40499Shall the Senate, because they may think it in one case trifling, or conceive the power ought to be placed in them, assume it?
40499Shall the United States stipulate solemnly to guarantee the new boundary which may be arranged?
40499Shall they not declare their own and their constituents''confidence undiminished in that officer of the Government?
40499Shall they take the Lake of the Woods on one side, and the Missouri on the other, and find a geographical centre?
40499Shall we hazard an entire loss of this revenue?
40499Shall we intrust the conduct of that matter to the very persons who it has been alleged are often the aggressors?
40499Shall we leave it to the fisherman, to be determined by his oath?
40499Shall we make it an excuse for refusing to pass this vote, that we establish the principle of thanking nobody?
40499Shall we never have done with the settlement and liquidation of our accounts?
40499Shall we not let them see the end of their burthen in the law itself?
40499Shall we put our hands into the pockets of our constituents, and appropriate moneys for uses we are undetermined of?
40499Shall we say that man ought to have been made otherwise?
40499Shall we say that the evidence carries on its face fraud and deception?
40499Shall we sit still and bear it?
40499Shall we then give up to a body, who has already a superiority over us, those superior powers which we possess relative to revenue?
40499Shall we then proceed without them?
40499Shall we then restrain a man from having an agency in the disposal of his own money?
40499Shall we, dreading to become the blind instruments of power, yield ourselves the blinder dupes of mere sounds of imposture?
40499Should Government, said Mr. V., come forward and show their imbecility by censuring what we can not punish?
40499Should any thing be done at this time in the way of commercial regulations towards vindicating and advancing our national interests?
40499Should that credit be destroyed( he asked) by destroying the confidence of foreigners in our faith?
40499Should these fifty dollars fall to the Government, or to me?
40499Should they then pass the law in such a manner as almost to warrant the people in resisting it?
40499Should this bill pass, what can it be denominated but a delusion, a deception, sanctioned by Congress itself?
40499Should those of our citizens who furnished the supplies, or loaned their money, be the only class who are injured?
40499Since the bounty is to cease by this bill, what advantage in striking it out?
40499Sir, did we fight for this?
40499Suppose a person in office, not possessing the talents he was judged to have at the time of the appointment, is the error not to be corrected?
40499Suppose he dislikes them, and will not have them, he is guilty of a breach of the law, is it intended by the House to impeach him for it?
40499Suppose he refuses, will his vote be the less valid, or the community be disengaged from that obedience which is due to the laws of the Union?
40499Suppose that all the Indians were driven over the Mississippi to- morrow, to whom would the lands which they now possess belong?
40499Suppose that authority were in this way to grant millions upon millions, must the House, at all events, be compelled to provide for their payment?
40499Suppose that, on the arrival of the definitive treaty, Congress had not agreed to the terms, would the war have then been considered as at an end?
40499Suppose the revenue should fall short of his estimate, is he responsible for the balance?
40499Suppose they instruct a representative, by his vote, to violate the constitution; is he at liberty to obey such instructions?
40499Suppose, however, that it were omitted, and our country invaded, would a decision in Congress against raising armies be safer than the affirmative?
40499Suppose, then, a vessel of thirty tons obtains, in a season, six hundred quintals of fish?
40499Surely the substance ought not to pay at this rate-- then what good reason can be offered for the measure?
40499Take all these together, is it not to be doubted that twelve hundred and fifty- six dollars will remain of the forty- four thousand in the Treasury?
40499That gentleman wished to know to what point this information was to apply?
40499That is not the question; but whether, organized as we are, under the constitution, we have a right to make such a grant?
40499That it has been contrived with a view to lead them on by degrees to that kind of government which they have thrown off with abhorrence?
40499The British Parliament has now no pay; but have they been as independent as their countrymen wished them under the British Government?
40499The British had gone past them, and what was to hinder the Algerines, or such a man as Mr. Cooper, from getting past them?
40499The French wished to be paid here, and it being no loss, but rather a profit, to comply with their wish, where was the harm in so doing?
40499The House asked a question; the PRESIDENT answered in the negative-- for what purpose refer the answer?
40499The House divided on the question,"Shall the delegate take an oath as a member?"
40499The PRESIDENT asserts it; in the Address reported, the Senate assent; a motion is made to strike out; is it because the truth of it is doubted?
40499The Romans and Greeks had slaves, and are not their glorious achievements held up as excitements to great and magnanimous actions?
40499The SPEAKER asked what time he wanted?
40499The SPEAKER then interrogated the prisoner, whether these charges were true or false?
40499The SPEAKER then said, Is this the prisoner?
40499The Treaty makes war indispensable, as the only redress of injuries, and how will war from the United States reach Great Britain?
40499The United States owe the value they received, which they acknowledge, and which they have promised to pay: what is that value?
40499The bill says it shall cease; and have gentlemen any objection to the bounty''s ceasing?
40499The bill was then read the third time; and on the question, Shall the bill pass?
40499The call for the question being now very general, it was put, shall the words"to be removable by the President,"be struck out?
40499The debt is the price of our liberties, and can not be diminished a farthing, the gentleman from Virginia says; and why?
40499The first of these was, whether the Algerines acted from their own impulse in this matter?
40499The first question is, how much does Government receive by the duty on the salt used in curing the fish which is exported?
40499The first question then was, is Congress vested with a power to grant the privileges contained in the bill?
40499The first questions that offer themselves, are: Was the money in question appropriated to special and distinct purposes?
40499The gentleman from Connecticut wished to know why he had brought this resolution before the House?
40499The gentleman from New Hampshire asked, what do the PRESIDENT and two- thirds of the Senate operate upon?
40499The gentleman says further, that the people have the right of instructing their representatives; if so, why not declare it?
40499The government of that territory is a corporation; and who will deny that Congress may lawfully establish a bank beyond the Ohio?
40499The grand question now is, did the State, by acceding to the confederation, give up her right of legislation?
40499The law is to supply the necessary means of executing the principle laid down; for how can it be carried into effect in any other manner?
40499The member asked, if the House were to close their understandings, and refuse all information from that quarter?
40499The merit of the amendment depends on its adaptedness to the end proposed by the bill, and what is that?
40499The next inquiry is, what rights will this company enjoy in this new character, that they do not enjoy independent of it?
40499The next question is, to what amount the public are at present indebted?
40499The only constant agents in political affairs are the passions of men-- shall we complain of our nature?
40499The only question now is, whether this be a direct bounty, or simply a commutation of the allowance already granted by Congress?
40499The only question, therefore, which appears to be before the committee is, whether we shall give this power to the President alone?
40499The point to be settled is whether it shall be done by an oral communication, or transmitted in writing?
40499The previous question being insisted upon, was put--"Shall the main question be now put?"
40499The previous question thereon was called for by five members, to wit:"Shall the main question, to agree to the said resolution, be now put?"
40499The previous question was called for by five members, to wit:"Shall the main question, to agree to the said resolution, be now put?"
40499The previous question was now called for, by five members, viz:"Shall the main question to agree to the said resolution, be now put?"
40499The previous question was then demanded by five members: Shall the main question be now put?
40499The previous question,"Shall the main question now be put?"
40499The principal inquiry is, will the institution facilitate the management of the finances?
40499The question before the committee was, have the United States taken away any claim which the purchasers of these lands had?
40499The question is, did he continue in service to the end of the war?
40499The question is, what shall be the duty on any particular article?
40499The question now to be determined, he conceived, was this-- is an addition to the present amount of the revenue necessary?
40499The question then is, by whom?
40499The question then is, whether the highest sum can be collected?
40499The question then recurred, what Treaties were made under the authority of the United States?
40499The question was called for, and put by the Chairman, Shall the committee now rise, and report progress?
40499The question was taken,"Whether the President of the United States shall be addressed by the title of_ His Excellency_?"
40499The question was then put by the SPEAKER, Shall the committee have leave to sit again?
40499The question was then put, Shall the committee now rise and report progress?
40499The question was then stated, to wit:"Shall the said bill be rejected?"
40499The question was then taken, do the House agree to the amendment?
40499The question was whether they were in a situation in which they could claim to be a State?
40499The question was, had the Secretary violated a law?
40499The question will only be, what powers has the constitution given, and to what departments have the same been distributed?
40499The question, then, is reduced to its expediency, whether it is good policy to exercise the power or not?
40499The remainder, viz:"If not, shall a temporary boundary be marked, making the Oconee the line, and the other parts of the treaty be concluded?"
40499The right of Congress to regulate trade is adduced as an argument in favor of this of creating a corporation; but what has this bill to do with trade?
40499The second, what the sum is that is proper for the article we select?
40499Their present inexperience will soon be done away by a proper mode of discipline, and why may not these troops be soon instructed?
40499Then they deemed war nearly inevitable, and would not this adjustment have been considered at that day as a happy escape from the calamity?
40499Then was it proper, he asked, that the Executive should be requested to make a second answer, and nearly in the same words?
40499Then why all this abuse of this particular sect, without discrimination?
40499Then why disturb the tranquillity of the people?
40499Then why not, for the sake of conciliation, grant it?
40499Then why should the poor of Massachusetts be taxed for the beverage they use of spruce, molasses and water?
40499Then you are bound, by this precedent, to indemnify him; and how can you distinguish what was the real motive to that outrage?
40499There appeared to him only two things as necessary to be inquired into: First, Was the new Government Republican?
40499There is a river, it is said, which runs two hundred miles into the country as far as the Allegany mountains; what advantage can this be to Congress?
40499There is no doubt, sir, but it will; but does this tend to show that the constituent has no right to instruct?
40499There is to be but one head; but does not our Government consist of three parts?
40499Therefore, why involve in this indiscriminate censure men who have deserved so well of their country?
40499These are the commercial acquisitions we have obtained by the Treaty; and let me ask, what have we given to Britain in return for them?
40499They must come in ballast: and will the mere transportation of our crop be a sufficient inducement to engage them to come here?
40499They, indeed, afford an exception to the cases above mentioned; but how far were they successful?
40499This being the fact, he inquired, what could be done with the Southern produce, in case of the exclusion of foreign bottoms?
40499This was a pleasing situation; but what was the situation of the British debtors?
40499This was true, he believed; but how would it apply in the sense the gentleman wished?
40499To others I will urge, can any circumstance mark upon a people more turpitude and debasement?
40499To such a nation was it proper to trust a latitude of that extent?
40499To the first of these I ask, against whom is the suit to commence?
40499To what purpose then to sound the alarm, and to ring the tocsin from Georgia to New Hampshire?
40499To what should they compare Treaties?
40499To what, he asked, would a contrary doctrine lead?
40499To what?
40499To whom was the care of our prisoners in Philadelphia committed?
40499True, it might be asked, why say negroes or other property?
40499Under all circumstances, should not his estate be indemnified?
40499Under it money may be borrowed, as well as commerce regulated; and why not money appropriated?
40499Under these circumstances, do gentlemen contend that an indiscriminate conduct is due to Great Britain and to Holland?
40499Under these circumstances, what was to be expected but complaints from the people, and a consequent repeal of the bill?
40499Under those circumstances what could we have done?
40499Upon what ground, then, do gentlemen stand?
40499VINING.--Why do gentlemen say that such an office is unnecessary, when they are forced to admit that all the duties are essential?
40499Was Government to be burdened with them, and derive no compensation?
40499Was he the author of the Funding System?
40499Was he the author of the plan for establishing the National Bank?
40499Was he the author of the report on the fisheries?
40499Was he to be both judge and executioner in his own case?
40499Was he to manufacture it himself, or in what way could he better obtain it than from the Heads of the Departments?
40499Was it a sufficient reason for exempting a district from public burdens to say that the people are poor?
40499Was it any unusual thing to call for the yeas and nays?
40499Was it consistent with the warmth which had been discovered, to say that all this discussion, all this length of time, had been consumed upon nothing?
40499Was it for this the soldier watched his numerous nights, and braved the inclemency of the seasons?
40499Was it in the opposition to the minority of the Senate and the general voice of the people against the treaty that that_ firmness_ was displayed?
40499Was it intended to have the constitution republished, and the alterations inserted in their proper places?
40499Was it not already settled in the constitution and by existing laws?
40499Was it not better to fill up the old corps, than to put ourselves to the inconvenience of raising a new one?
40499Was it not necessary for them to consult, and fix upon a proper place?
40499Was it not the ecclesiastical corporations and perpetual monopolies of England and Scotland?
40499Was it not then urged by members of that House that the British nation refused to negotiate with them?
40499Was it not to substantiate the truth of them by a vote?
40499Was it right that when a man had led our armies to victory, and returned, that he should be immediately stripped of his commission?
40499Was it they who formed the constitution?
40499Was it to be wondered at, if this swarm should raise a buzz about him?
40499Was it to remain as a pledge for the performance of the other?
40499Was it wantonly to throw away a privilege and natural right?
40499Was merit, then, to be the less regarded, because it was modest?
40499Was not peace the most to be desired, especially in our present situation?
40499Was not the good of the public his principal object?
40499Was not this representation true, he asked; could it be controverted?
40499Was not this returning good for evil?
40499Was not this true of all the great and essential powers of government?
40499Was one branch to be judges of discretion for another?
40499Was the Executive to trust the defence of a country to a militia formed under such a law?
40499Was the Message then alone referred as it is now proposed by some gentlemen?
40499Was the money, he asked, to have remained in the hands of the banker in Europe?
40499Was the property less changed by the law of a sovereign and independent State, than by the proclamation of a British commander?
40499Was there any other country which could give us the same supplies we wanted?
40499Was there no security against a wanton abuse of these enormous powers?
40499Was there no security in the watchful guardianship of such a character?
40499Was this depreciated paper freely accepted?
40499Was this insinuation pointed at Congress or the Executive?
40499Was this paper equal in value to gold or silver?
40499Was this the case?
40499Was this the object of the reference to the Secretary?
40499Was this, he asked, an exposition of the meaning of the constitution?
40499We have no doubt been cruelly treated; but we have made proper application for redress, and received an answer?
40499We refer, said he, to the wisdom of the Senate; but how is this superior wisdom to be discerned?
40499Were dollars, he asked, to be balanced by absolute appropriations?
40499Were not hundreds of Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and almost of every other denomination, among our enemies?
40499Were not the archives, records, deeds,& c., which had also fallen into the hands of the enemy, their property?
40499Were not the latter as necessary as the former?
40499Were our citizens in a state of organization as militia?
40499Were our magazines and arsenals properly supplied?
40499Were our ports and harbors in any tolerable state of defence?
40499Were the Committee of the Whole to turn authors and write a dissertation on part of the constitution?
40499Were the Senate so chosen?
40499Were the advocates of this doctrine aware of its consequences, when they advanced it?
40499Were the citizens of the Northern and Eastern States to dictate to Congress on a measure in which the Southern States were so deeply interested?
40499Were the people jealous of this House, and not of the other branches?
40499Were there any petitions on the subject excepting that from the Pennsylvania Society and a few Quakers?
40499Were they called upon to give an opinion?
40499Were they to propose such a plan as this to us, would it not be received with indignation?
40499Were we not bound to take as much care of our own interest, as of that of other people?
40499Were we to demand satisfaction?
40499Were women and fatherless children to be regarded as traitors?
40499What are the emigrant nobility to renounce?
40499What are the rights of conquest?
40499What are these powers?
40499What are they to bring back in return?
40499What are they to do if they are discharged?
40499What are you?
40499What authority has this House to explain the law?
40499What clause is it that gives this power in express terms?

40499What did the House meet for at all?
40499What did they want to do with it?
40499What difference, he asked, was there on that occasion and the present, when the French just adopted and organized a new government?
40499What does it import?
40499What effect would this doctrine, if admitted, have upon the State governments?
40499What equivalent do we receive for this sacrifice?
40499What evidence have we that the demand will stop there?
40499What good did his renunciation of title do, excepting that it afforded him a short opportunity of deceiving his fellow- citizens?
40499What good end could have been answered by a war?
40499What had been our situation ever since the negotiation?
40499What had been the custom of the House heretofore?
40499What has been the conduct of Great Britain, in relation to her funds?
40499What has carried the credit of that kingdom to a superior eminence, but the attention she has paid to public credit?
40499What has he left her to ask, what has he not surrendered?
40499What have Congress to do with the acts of States?
40499What if he refuses to answer at all?
40499What is a law?
40499What is now his answer?

40499What is there to discharge the Government from the payment?
40499What is to be done for compensation?
40499What is to be done while the impeachment is depending?
40499What is your name?
40499What is your usual place of residence?
40499What justifies these harsh epithets?
40499What kind of a business would this be?
40499What kind of reasoning was this, or how did the gentleman propose to reconcile it?
40499What man is there here that can be wicked enough to involve his country in such incalculable miseries?
40499What may Great Britain expect, if we will not settle our differences by negotiation?
40499What may be the consequence of binding a man to vote in all cases according to the will of others?
40499What may we expect will be the conduct of our own citizens?
40499What must have passed, he asked, between the soldier, the militiaman, or farmer, and the purchaser?
40499What occasion, then, can there be for them?
40499What reason could be adduced for acting?
40499What reason could the purchaser assign for offering £10 for a paper which specified an obligation to pay £100?
40499What reason is there for any such supposition?
40499What right had the House to say to a particular class of people, you shall not have that kind of property which other people have?
40499What security can there be for a commerce thus precariously conducted, in which your rivals are your judge?
40499What then are we called upon to do?
40499What then is the officer to be responsible for, which should induce the House to vest in him such extraordinary powers?
40499What then remains of your constitution, except its mode of organization?
40499What then should we have done?
40499What then will be the case?

40499What were the powers and privileges of the House on the subject?
40499What were the steps then taken in that parallel case?
40499What will the assignee lose by the measure?
40499What will their constituents think of them?
40499What will this comprehend, or, rather, what will it not comprehend?
40499What would be the consequence, said Mr. B., of refusing at this time, and under these circumstances, to receive this State into the Union?
40499What would be the effect of a contrary doctrine?
40499What would be the effect of such an act of Parliament?
40499What would follow from this?
40499What( he asked) was their situation, and what had they to fear in case of an open rupture with Great Britain?
40499What, he asked, could be the end of all these things but war?
40499What, he asked, were these?
40499What, he further asked, would become of our produce, in the event contemplated?
40499What, let me inquire, will be the pernicious consequences resulting from the establishment of this doctrine?
40499What, said he, are we about to do?
40499What, said he, is its object?
40499What, said he, would be the consequence of such construction?
40499What, sir, is the intention of this business?
40499What, then, becomes of its strength?
40499What, then, permit me to inquire, can the power of treating effect?
40499When Britain has been at the trouble of stipulating a peace for Portugal, will she suffer that nation to assist us?
40499When a million of dollars had been expended, were the House to give them fifteen or twenty thousand dollars more?
40499When an exasperated militia went out, what were we to expect, but that the first man with a red skin whom they met would be shot?
40499When did their citizenship commence?
40499When it was laid before them, it was then contended that the House had a right to interfere in the Treaty, or why ask for it?
40499When you first cut a man''s throat, and thereafter call him a rascal, do you suppose that your accusation will affect the man''s reputation?
40499Whence arises, then, the opposition?

40499Where, then, are the real profits anticipated?
40499Where, then, is the danger of expressing a general approbation?
40499Wherefore was it provided that no duty should be laid on exports?
40499Whether a like conciliatory conduct has not been observed by the advocates of manufactures?
40499Whether it was to be a fleeting vision, or to continue for ages?
40499Whether the public opinion was four or five times more unfavorable to such an administration?
40499Whether they shall be under the direction of Commissioners?
40499Which of these alternatives have they elected to do?

40499Who, under mere motives of friendship, would have done so?
40499Why a reference?

40499Why leave it only to be implied?
40499Why not also fix the principles of Government?
40499Why not choose the Speaker of this House?
40499Why not come forward, and demand of us the power of Legislation, and say, give us up your privileges, and we will govern you?
40499Why not protect this property as well?
40499Why not tell them at once, and in plain English, you must renounce your titles before you can have the privileges of an American citizen?
40499Why not?
40499Why shall we liquidate a debt which is established upon a complete and final settlement?
40499Why should a man take a dangerous and a doubtful path, when a safe one presents itself?
40499Why should we interfere with the concerns of our sister States who have not yet joined the new Government?
40499Why so little jealousy of the Executive Department, separated by the constitution with so much care from us?
40499Why so?
40499Why then provide for it a second time?
40499Why then should we interfere in the business?

40499Why were the resolutions brought before the House?
40499Why were these rights ever maintained and so scrupulously attended to by the people of those countries?
40499Why were we afraid to intrust the PRESIDENT with the power of raising ten thousand men?
40499Why were you so long in presenting your petition?
40499Why will these people, then, make use of arguments to induce the slave to turn his hand against his master?
40499Why, especially, he asked, should they give rise to invidious comparisons between themselves and the other branch?
40499Why, let me ask gentlemen, shall we commit an infraction of the constitution for fear the Senate or President should not comply with its directions?
40499Why, only that this was his opinion; but is that authority here?
40499Why, said Mr. L., communicate the instructions to the Ministers?
40499Why, said Mr. S., will not the Eastern members indulge us in this trifle?
40499Why, then fix the price as if the whole Army was to be kept there?
40499Why, then, are we called upon to propose amendments subversive of the principles of the constitution, which were never desired?

40499Why, then, will gentlemen advocate a doctrine so obnoxious to the principles of the constitution, when a more favorable construction is at hand?
40499Why, therefore, all this extraneous argument about a point of so easy decision?
40499Why_ firmness_?
40499Will Virginia set all her negroes free?
40499Will a duty of ten dollars diminish the importation?
40499Will any one answer by a sneer, that all this is idle preaching?
40499Will any one deny that we are bound-- and I would hope to good purpose-- by the most solemn sanctions of duty for the vote we give?
40499Will gentlemen say it is"We the people"in this case?
40499Will gentlemen then say, that to gratify a thoughtless regard for economy, they will risk the most invaluable part of the Government?
40499Will gentlemen, said he, blast this prospect by rejecting the bill?
40499Will gentlemen, then, comply with the one, and neglect the other?

40499Will it not be subversive of every principle on which public contracts are founded?
40499Will it not give them just cause of alarm?

40499Will they refuse to sell us their manufactures?
40499Will they submit to an excise?
40499Will they tamely submit to be robbed of their property, when they lose all hope of aid or protection from the Government?
40499Will this prevent an increase of the public debt?
40499Will this reconcile the minds of our people to the General Government?
40499Will you adopt a charge against him, which is in its nature an imputation that however lightly and wickedly made, will implicate perhaps innocent men?
40499Will you gain by this contest?
40499Will you restrain him from having access to the members out of doors?

40499Would gentlemen narrow the operation of the constitution in this manner, and render it impossible to be executed?
40499Would he have pledged his honor, his reputation, had he been interested?
40499Would he not, though absent, have acquired, according to the petitioner''s own positions, a right of citizenship?
40499Would it add to his fame to be called after the petty and insignificant princes of Europe?
40499Would it be proper to give an approbation that can not be appropriate, and that has no definite meaning?
40499Would it be prudent to trust a foreigner, perhaps a rival, if not an enemy, with your supply of what has emphatically been called the sinews of war?
40499Would it have been best to have traded with them upon sufferance, and so to have maintained a precarious kind of commerce?
40499Would it not expose us to exorbitant demands, and often a refusal?
40499Would not Congress have been in the same situation as before the signing of the provisional articles?
40499Would not a Treaty made under it be clearly the law of England?
40499Would not such a step be injurious even to the slaves themselves?
40499Would not the end of impeachment be defeated by this means?
40499Would not the measures have been reprobated with one voice, and the Treaty considered as a nullity?
40499Would our foreign creditors believe we were scrupulously fulfilling our engagements with them?

40499Would the citizens of that country tamely suffer their property to be torn from them?
40499Would the makers of shoes be content to go there and retail them?
40499Would they not say, a vote of thanks has been rejected?
40499Would twelve of this House, or would any jury in the country say that the war continued longer than hostilities?
40499Yes, said he, we have still a constitution, but where is it to be found?
40499Yet are they not thought to be justified by national policy?
40499You declare yourself not guilty?
40499_ Executive Departments._--Resolution respecting, 85; debate thereon, 85; how many departments shall be established?
40499_ Treasury Department._--Debate, 90; shall this important department be in the hands of a single officer or in a Board of Commissioners?

40499and that the hope of the justice we now ask for has delayed the sale of all the rest, to satisfy his creditors-- his Southern creditors?
40499and was not the member from Virginia( Mr. MADISON) of this opinion, as I have before stated?
40499and was not this merely because the Indians were unable to pay for themselves?
40499and whether, if they are not, it is expedient for them to exercise this discretion at this time?
40499and would not all acts of Parliament, prior and repugnant to it, be repealed by it?
40499and, had not his colleague( Mr. LIVINGSTON) quoted the secret Journals of the House?
40499duty, with freight and shipping charges, be sufficient encouragement?
40499if not, what proportion?"
40499interest should be paid on it, 196; if the Government is one party and the individual the other, who is the judge?
40499on his capital; and that capital tenfold?
40499on his capital?
40499or the plundering of the high seas legalized under the name of privateering?
40499or to whom?
40499or using such harsh expressions as have issued like a torrent from a gentleman on the other side of the House?
40499or whether we shall tamely supplicate for justice, and suffer the most effectual means of compulsion to elude our grasp?
40499or will posterity have a more favorable opinion of the original, because it has been amended by distinct acts?
40499that Mr. Rutledge has prevented executions from taking the Georgia estate by his personal interference?
40499that all the estates in Rhode Island and New Jersey are sold?
40499then is it wrong to express their confidence?

47289Is she?
47289To what effect have you so written? 47289 Washington, sir, was not a lawyer, and who can wonder that his fair mind was alarmed by such a solemn declaration?
47289What is the reason that the Orders in Council prevent the witness sending our cotton goods in ships in ballast? 47289 Who can be so cruel as to refuse him this favor?"
47289Why not? 47289 Would the Orders in Council have any other effect as to discouraging the trade?

47289After the declaration of war, had they any disposition to assail us?
47289After the declaration of war, what has been the conduct of the Executive?
47289Again, I ask, were the principles of the embargo submission in 1774-''5-''6?
47289Again, sir, I would ask the advocates of the doctrine I am reprobating, when will it be proper to show the folly and ruinous consequences of the war?
47289Again, sir, has the gentleman no feeling for the sufferings, no ear for the groans of our suffering seamen?
47289Again, what was the effect of the non- intercourse in 1809 upon our Treasury?
47289Against France?
47289Against whom were these charges brought?
47289Against whom?
47289All the evasions of the embargo have been made with a view to that supply; enforce it, and from whence will they procure the article of lumber?
47289Am I not, then, Mr. Speaker, authorized to say, that the condition of the law of May, 1810, has not been complied with?
47289Am I then required to vote for a measure of this kind?
47289Am I to conclude that they are really Americans in principle?
47289An ambitious General might corrupt his army, and seize the Capitol-- but will an Admiral reduce us to subjection by bringing his ships up the Potomac?

47289And about what?
47289And are gentlemen considering the restoration of the seamen taken from the Chesapeake as a reason why we should continue the interdict?
47289And are gentlemen prepared to obey?
47289And are we not in the act of yielding obedience?
47289And are we prepared to pronounce so heavy a denunciation on our predecessors, on ourselves, and the other great Departments of our Government?
47289And are we so sunk in the estimation of the mighty conqueror, that he thinks it necessary and proper to use this as his official language towards us?
47289And are we, he asked, to be deprived of it when we come to this House-- when we enter this temple of liberty?
47289And are we, under such circumstances, to renew negotiation by extra missions?
47289And are you now about again to jeopardize the peace of this nation, without any cause whatever?
47289And are you ready to repeal the embargo under such a threat as this?
47289And as to excuse, will it be said that there is nothing of the sort in this case?
47289And by whom was it opposed?
47289And by whom were they made?
47289And could any thing be gathered from any thing they had ever written or said, to induce a belief that this Government had not acted with sincerity?
47289And did this state of prosperity exist at a time when your commerce was protected by vessels of war?
47289And do I enjoy my right of walking the street by making myself a prisoner?
47289And do gentlemen believe Great Britain is willing to sacrifice all these considerations to a refusal to do you justice?
47289And does she not remain sole mistress?
47289And for whom?
47289And from what premises is such a conclusion drawn?
47289And have we adopted the monkish plan of scourging ourselves for the sins of others?
47289And have we no means of doing this?
47289And here, Mr. Speaker, let me ask what other class of men in our society can you find who would have acted thus nobly?
47289And how do I prove it?
47289And how has it been regarded by the belligerents?
47289And how is this proved to be a remedy?
47289And how was it to be effected?
47289And how would this bill, Mr. Q. asked, less violate the constitution than such an act would have done?
47289And how, sir, is it attempted to rebut this fact?
47289And if it did, and this power was offensive, why was it not stricken out when the amendment was made?
47289And if it has, is it proper so to decide it?
47289And if not greater, has not an allowance been made for the capture of some of our ships, or, in other words, for the building of new ones?
47289And if they be, sir, what inducement can possibly prevent unanimity on the present occasion?
47289And if they do not intend thus to rely, in what possible way could it serve that Government thus darkly to insinuate it?
47289And in comparing this bill with those declarations, will it be possible to conceive that we are consistent?
47289And in fact does it not so demand in many instances?
47289And is it come to this?
47289And is it not better to submit to some inconveniences, eventually to insure a free trade?
47289And is not a man thereby to be deprived of property without due process of law?
47289And is not here an express authority?"
47289And is the President to judge from the thanks of the House that he has done his duty?
47289And is this bill a pioneer to the new swarms of"continental"locusts?
47289And it may be fairly asked here, what measures Great Britain has taken to prevent her officers from impressing our seamen?
47289And lastly, will the force be an economical one?
47289And may we not suppose that these proud Spaniards, as they are called, may have feelings of a like nature?
47289And must this sacrifice be made in order to bolster up the President''s proclamation so prematurely issued?
47289And now, let me ask, whether we are prepared for these conditions?
47289And on the question, Shall this bill pass?
47289And on the question,"Shall the bill pass?"
47289And on the question,"Shall this bill pass?"
47289And on what, sir, does this circulation rest?
47289And pray, Mr. Speaker, what has Mr. Foster been sent for?
47289And shall we be told about the profitable commerce with Great Britain?
47289And shall we disparage our ancestors?--shall we bastardize ourselves by placing them even below the brigands of St. Domingo?
47289And shall we now refuse admission to the vessels of France?
47289And surely he will not contend that this advance of premium was caused by the embargo?
47289And that from mere obstinacy-- an obstinacy not encouraged by the least glimmering of hope?
47289And that too, sir, at an expense to their own country so enormous in amount?
47289And thus situated, what are the projects offered for replenishing the public coffers in future?
47289And we may triumphantly ask, where is the nation or people that enjoy these with more freedom and safety than the American people?
47289And were not French ships of war then, and have they not since been riding quietly at Annapolis, Norfolk, and elsewhere?
47289And what advantage do they derive from it?
47289And what are those objects?
47289And what do we?
47289And what do we?
47289And what does he claim?
47289And what does this committee do?
47289And what has this sarcastic Minister of Great Britain given us in exchange?
47289And what have we done in return?
47289And what have we to propose, according to the principles of reprisal, to obtain the restoration?
47289And what injury has the Emperor of Russia done to him?
47289And what is it now?
47289And what is its character?
47289And what is our opinion?
47289And what is the answer to all this out of doors?
47289And what is the argument by which this position is maintained?
47289And what is the language of George the Third, when our Minister presents to his consideration the embargo laws?
47289And what is the relation in which you stand to France?
47289And what is to justify this measure of imposing silence?
47289And what more, sir, could have been asked of us, required, or granted, than is contained in these offers?
47289And what real benefit has resulted from it to the Government?
47289And what says Mr. Jackson in reply?
47289And what security have we that she will not do so?
47289And what substitute have we for this when it shall be destroyed?
47289And what was the fact in regard to them?
47289And what would you think of one individual who had thus conducted to another, and should then retreat?
47289And what, Mr. Speaker, is now proposed for the future-- what is to retrieve our affairs-- on what are our hopes to rest?
47289And what, sir, are you doing?
47289And what, sir, was the conduct of the opposition in the British House of Commons, when their King and country were insulted by a foreign Minister?
47289And when war came, what said the people?
47289And where are these insults, these injuries, these vital attempts of the enemy to be found?
47289And where do you send him?
47289And whether we are prepared to go to war for them?
47289And while these measures were going on, could Congress, by staying here constantly, add to the number of men, or expedite the loan?
47289And who is prepared to say that American seamen shall be surrendered the victims to the British principle of impressment?
47289And who would pay it?
47289And whose money, asked Mr. R., is this?
47289And why did they not?
47289And why draw that into the debate on the impressment of American citizens from American vessels?
47289And why should this bank be dissolved?
47289And why should this clamor be raised on the question whether you will or will not make a formal renunciation of the old articles of political faith?
47289And why should we make a sort of hotch- potch of two subjects, on which we do not think alike, for the purpose of getting us all united against both?
47289And why was not a provision inserted to prevent foreigners from purchasing additional stock?
47289And why?
47289And will she be insensible to the efforts of our little Navy?
47289And will you plunge yourselves in war, because you have passed a foolish and ruinous law, and are ashamed to repeal it?
47289And will you refuse it?
47289And with a standing army, what security for our liberties?"
47289And would gentlemen favor this French population at the expense of their own interests and rights?
47289And would he advise the nation to pursue a course disgraceful, and to which he would not expose himself?
47289And would not the doing this place us in precisely the same situation as we were in before the Revolution?
47289And would these persons believe that they were going on an unlawful expedition?
47289And yet, how does this differ from invading Canada, for the purpose of defending our maritime rights?
47289And yet, sir, who ever heard of two nations_ going to war_ about a single case of capture, though admitted not to be justified by the laws?
47289And, I ask, is this resistance?
47289And, I ask, sir, why, then, admit the vessels of England standing in the same relation to us?
47289And, I wish to know, sir, what control we have over the Bank of the United States?
47289And, after that, is it proposed that we shall continue the measure of hostility when the cause alone which led to it is completely done away?
47289And, are we to endeavor to negotiate, as neutrals, with France, upon this ground, with any reasonable prospect of success?
47289And, doing that, how could you expect an amicable result?
47289And, is this course of policy now to be condemned, and regrets entered up that we have not been at war years ago?
47289And, said Mr. O., shall the Government be less willing to discharge its just debts than an honest individual?
47289And, shall I be charged with deserting the standard of the people, while I am treading in the footsteps of the great Father of his Country?
47289And, sir, what does this bank or its branches when resort is had to it?
47289And, sir, what is the mighty boon which these brave and indigent tars ask from you?
47289And, sir, what is this principle?
47289And, sir, what was our"restrictive"system?
47289And, sir, when these messengers of hell are sent here shall we not look at them?
47289And, upon whom does the loss fall?
47289Are gentlemen aware how extensive is the province of master and apprentice?
47289Are gentlemen ready to injure their country, weaken our Federal Union, the sheet- anchor of our political safety, to reach their political opponents?
47289Are gentlemen serious?
47289Are gentlemen willing to submit to this?
47289Are gentlemen, possessing the feelings of Americans, prepared to submit to such degradation?
47289Are new States desired?
47289Are not these cases equally strong?
47289Are not these searches and seizures, without warrant, on the mere suspicion of a collector, unreasonable searches and seizures?
47289Are our Ocean rights there?
47289Are the bounty lands to be given in Canada?
47289Are the countries of the Baltic and Caspian Seas no longer cultivated?
47289Are the extravagant prices of articles of the first necessity, superadded to their former embarrassments, to operate as a bounty on their trade?
47289Are the gentlemen from Georgia and Kentucky the only Senators who have had their feelings wounded by the conduct of the press upon this subject?
47289Are the merchants the guardians of the public honor?
47289Are the merchants to be told we will protect their commerce?
47289Are the old chimerical notions of_ starving_ the enemy, yet floating in the brains of gentlemen?
47289Are the orders and decrees altered?
47289Are the people of this country suspected of an intention to abandon their rights or their independence?
47289Are the wishes of this nation to be unattended to?
47289Are these apprehensions founded in reason, or are they the chimeras of a fervid and perturbed imagination?
47289Are these blessings not worth preserving?
47289Are these not sufficient for the recruiting service?
47289Are these savings not worth notice?
47289Are these the blockades which are intended?
47289Are they likely to happen?
47289Are they not murderers?
47289Are they prepared to say the embargo shall be raised, while our commerce is subjected to this kind of depredation?
47289Are they reduced to that situation, that they will become the vassals of a foreign power-- for what?
47289Are they to be held as conquered territories?
47289Are they to be scourged out of us by the birch of the unfledged political pedagogues of the day?
47289Are they unfit for the East India trade?
47289Are we bound to adopt this measure on account of the faith of Government being pledged to France by the law of May last?
47289Are we guilty because we resist the British scalping knife?
47289Are we in France?
47289Are we not aware, sir, of the immense sums now invested and actively employed in the different manufactories distributed over our extensive country?
47289Are we not officially notified that the French leeward islands are declared by proclamation in a state of blockade?
47289Are we prepared to ingraft these arbitrary principles into our constitution, and cherish them when practised in so arbitrary a manner?
47289Are we ready to submit to be taxed by Great Britain and France, as if we were their colonies?
47289Are we sure the State banks can or will do this?
47289Are we to adhere to the embargo forever, sir?
47289Are we to renew negotiation, then, when every circumstance manifests that it would be useless?
47289Are we to understand that the_ salus populi_ shall rule without control?
47289Are we, gentlemen,( said Mr. R.,) to have a Speaker of the House of Representatives without any election?
47289Are you prepared to see a foreign power seize what belongs to us?
47289Are you provided with means to annoy the enemy, or to defend yourselves?
47289Are you to leave them unprotected, or will you draw the sword in their behalf?
47289Are you to spend four or five millions of dollars, in addition to your present extraordinary expenditures, to protect commerce?
47289Are your exposed towns fortified and garrisoned?
47289Are your seamen safe from impressment?
47289Arm your merchantmen, as has been proposed, send them out, and you have war directly?
47289As his Minister said to the King of Epirus,"may we not as well take our bottle of wine before as after this exploit?"
47289As it does now, through the operation of your embargo, on the planter, on the farmer, on the mechanic, on the day- laborer?
47289As the proper authority, he thrust it from him as unworthy the coffers of his country; and did not his doing so meet general approbation?
47289As to France, sir, what were the edicts to be revoked, and how revoked?
47289As to preparation at home, which is the only preparation contemplated to make, what or whom is it against?
47289As to respect abroad, what course can be more certain to insure it?
47289As to the objection which had been offered to receiving the statement of their commanders, what were gentlemen afraid of?
47289As to the opportunity which the answers afforded for debate, could any one say that sufficient latitude had not been taken in debate?
47289At the very moment, said Mr. B., that we know that the blacks of St. Domingo are building vessels, shall we dispose of Our public armed vessels?
47289Aware of the impropriety of his deciding, he tells you-- what?
47289Aye, sir-- and is that true?
47289Because he is not a gentleman, shall we assert a falsehood?
47289Because we can not guard against every possible danger, shall we provide against none?
47289Because we can not, are we to succumb to others?
47289Begin this system of abstract legislation, and where are you to stop?
47289Being questioned if Henry had mentioned the names of any person with whom he had conferred?
47289But I am asked, how will you contend with a maritime nation, without a navy?
47289But I may ask, what on the ocean did we enjoy but by the sufferance of Great Britain?
47289But I will suppose that you could export without interruption; would the whole of the exportable produce pay for the war during the continuance of it?
47289But are not your privateers as much a part of the naval force of the nation as your ships of war?
47289But are we unreasonable in expecting, before we give up the old opinion, to hear some argument in favor of the new one?
47289But by whom had they been suppressed when they ran counter to the interests of his country?
47289But can any man imagine that, if we invade the British colonies, the war will be there?
47289But did an atom of it flow in from the operation of the embargo?
47289But does that justify this resolution?
47289But gentlemen were desirous now to fix the number of souls which should entitle to a Representative-- and why?
47289But has he shown that it is necessary in order to make a preliminary arrangement similar to that entered into?
47289But have the people of Spain acquiesced?
47289But have they shown, by a train of argument, that their overthrow was, in any degree, ascribable to their maritime greatness?
47289But how are we to cause these rights to be respected?
47289But how can this be done?
47289But how has this plea been supported?
47289But how is this protection to be afforded?
47289But how was it received by the American Cabinet?
47289But how, Mr. Speaker, are we to cause our rights to be respected?
47289But if it were not, where is the impropriety of an inquiry?
47289But in this instance is the territory vacant-- or uninhabited-- or abandoned by its proprietors?
47289But is it possible that an intolerant spirit of party has prepared us for this?
47289But is it true that according to the usages of nations this is a novel system, or one now, for the first time, put in use by the British?
47289But is that the case in relation to the Executive, on whose future dispositions rest the best interests of this nation?
47289But is war the true remedy?
47289But of what value would these provinces be to us, if they could be easily acquired?
47289But on whose side has this intrigue been?
47289But receiving all the sanctions of a law, and as such containing a rule of conduct in certain specified cases, what was the Executive to do?
47289But shall we therefore abandon the ocean, yield our birthright, our goodly heritage, without a struggle?
47289But should he, on great questions, be denied the privilege of speaking?
47289But should we have been prepared by winter, the time to which gentlemen wished to have deferred the declaration of war?
47289But some gentlemen affect a sympathy for the Canadians-- why, say they, will you make war on them?
47289But suppose they do not; suppose they fail, and are captured in the attempt; what is that to us?
47289But the question recurs, needful for what?
47289But to what does this doctrine lead?
47289But was there that fatal necessity; that command from Jove,"Ye fates fulfil it, and ye powers approve,"to erect corporations?
47289But we are told that the enterprising merchant is deprived of an opportunity-- of what?
47289But we must inquire, what is a just and necessary war?
47289But were there not other decrees?
47289But what are the reasons why it has not fully come up to the expectations of its supporters, as a measure of coercion?
47289But what blow are you prepared to strike?
47289But what can we do with four seventy- fours?
47289But what does the correspondence referred to prove?
47289But what has_ Revolutionary_ Spain done?
47289But what have the British Government done on the subject?
47289But what is here proposed?
47289But what is the fact?
47289But what is the law of nature and the dictate of wisdom, on this subject?
47289But what is the nature of the defence which one of our large States may be supposed interested to obtain from the General Government?
47289But what is the principle in contest between the two Governments?
47289But what is their situation at present?
47289But what is this law as modified by the practice of nations?
47289But what obliges Congress to give credit at all?
47289But what was left, as to her, for the surrender or repeal of which she had any anxiety?
47289But what was the style in which gentlemen spoke at our last summer session, when the subject of approbation was then before us?
47289But what will the merchants of Salem, and Boston, and New York, and Philadelphia, and Baltimore, the men of Marblehead and Cape Cod, say to this?
47289But what, said Mr. C, has been the history of claims for four or five years past?
47289But what, sir, is the price we have at length paid for the repeal?
47289But whence, Mr. Chairman, proceeds this system of slander and abuse?
47289But where is the difference between that and suffering yourself to be controlled by the arbitrary act of another nation?
47289But while we are searching for the means of annoying the commerce of Britain, does it become us to overlook at this moment the condition of our own?
47289But who was ever the friend of non- intercourse?
47289But why is it necessary to know, on this occasion, whether the President did call for these powers or not?
47289But why is it to be continued?
47289But why this argument of despair?
47289But why this change?
47289But why, sir, are the injuries these nations have done contrasted, and those of the one made an apology for those of the other?
47289But why, sir, should this House give an expression of approbation of the President?
47289But will you trust your funds with an institution thus precarious, and whose solidity is distrusted even by its best friends?
47289But"where, and what was this execrable shape-- if shape it may be called, which shape has none?"
47289But, I ask, sir, if the State Governments do not possess this gigantic power?
47289But, I would ask the gentleman from Connecticut, and the gentleman from Pennsylvania, also, if this be one of their abstract propositions?
47289But, Is it necessary that a resolution containing it should be passed by this House?
47289But, Mr. President, what is the real cause of those failures?
47289But, Mr. Speaker, what was the fact?
47289But, Mr. Speaker, wherefore change the term of enlistment, from five years, or during the war, to one year?
47289But, are not the measures which have been adopted, submission?
47289But, decide it either way, how is trading as far as we have ability, made less abject than not trading at all?
47289But, for these things, we must stipulate an equivalent; and what can that be, but to unite in striking England from the list of independent nations?
47289But, for what purpose are you to send them out?
47289But, is it in this nation, and at this time, that it can be supposed that the profits of commerce are confined to the merchant?
47289But, it seems we have changed all this-- we have perverted the whole course of procedure-- and why?
47289But, it would be well to inquire, on what principle the belligerents pretend to justify these commercial restrictions?
47289But, on the other hand, should we not be ready to act on that day, is it not pledging ourselves that we will then act, whether we are ready or not?
47289But, on the second head, can your law be executed?
47289But, said Mr. R., is time now so precious?
47289But, said he, for what purpose, I feel impelled to ask, are you going to build these vessels?
47289But, says the gentleman, will you take the child from the parent?
47289But, since that election, another has taken place for members of Congress; and how has that turned out?
47289But, sir, admit for a moment the bank may be formed to collect the revenue, ought it not to be exclusively used for that object?
47289But, sir, admit the gentleman''s statement; will a war with Great Britain increase the danger?
47289But, sir, can we quit this subject without looking more particularly at the consequences which result from this series of injuries?
47289But, sir, gentlemen may ask, where is the remedy?
47289But, sir, has this unparalleled enterprise, this gallant spirit, been carried on by a navy?
47289But, sir, how happens it that we still remain under the distresses occasioned by the belligerents?
47289But, sir, how have those orders at last been repealed?
47289But, sir, is it prudent to rely upon an institution that may refuse you assistance?
47289But, sir, let me ask what sort of possession?
47289But, sir, let me ask, whether the disposition to lend be not as necessary a means towards accomplishing a loan as the ability?
47289But, sir, let us admit the fact and the whole force of the argument, I ask whose is the fault?
47289But, sir, what has been the state of the country since the declaration of war?
47289But, sir, what is now the state of things?
47289But, suppose they had been manned in other ways, were not privateers as useful in annoying the enemy as public ships?
47289But, what are the principles more specifically asserted by Great Britain?
47289But, what best consults the honor of a Republican Government?
47289But, what have we done?
47289But, what is that to us?
47289But, what security did those ships afford?
47289But, what was it sent there for?
47289But, why, I pray you?
47289By Mary Howitt, 38 Who Shall be Greatest?
47289By a suitable instrument I reconvey or retrocede the estate called Louisiana to you as I now hold it, and as you held it; what passes to you?
47289By force?
47289By gentlemen who are for active offence?
47289By granting them a right which nature has already given to them?
47289By putting in force the non- importation law?
47289By showing a physical disability in the country to avail itself of this force?
47289By the law of''98, the President certainly could direct relative to the age and size of a recruit-- yet to whom did he apply?
47289By what ligament, on what basis, on what possible foundation, does it rest?
47289By what?
47289By whom is it so called?
47289By whom is this immense power wielded?
47289By whom, would you listen to them, are they most keenly felt?
47289By whom?
47289Can England complain of our giving credit to a man with whom her first Secretary of State and the Governor General of Canada correspond?
47289Can a violation of a solemn pledge confer an obligation which was only intended to be created on the complete fulfilment of that pledge?
47289Can an agreement arising from the exercise of this power, supersede the right of exercising the power expressly delegated by the constitution itself?
47289Can any man do this, and not realize that the destiny of the people inhabiting such a country is essentially maritime?
47289Can any man tell what would be the consequence of war, in these times?
47289Can any one doubt that our Cabinet meant that it should have this effect?
47289Can any submission be more palpable, more"abject, more disgraceful?"
47289Can any thing be more in direct subserviency to the views of the French Emperor?
47289Can any thing be more obviously at variance with the spirit of the constitution and the first principles of civil liberty?
47289Can any thing be more palpable than this?
47289Can arming our merchant vessels, by resisting the whole navy of Great Britain, oppose force to force?
47289Can it be any thing but the revolutions in Spain and Portugal?
47289Can it be because Bonaparte has said he loves the Americans?
47289Can it be conceived that all this could have been carried on, if General Miranda had not meant to conceal it from the Government?
47289Can it be necessary gravely to answer these assertions?
47289Can it then be said, that with treble the population, and in an offensive war, necessity requires the dangerous innovation?
47289Can one million of militia be overpowered by thirty thousand regulars?
47289Can such conduct be called American?
47289Can such men pretend that peace is their object?
47289Can that be true which gives the greatest violence to party animosity?
47289Can that be true which, when the whole physical force of the country is needed, withdraws half of that force?
47289Can that, then, be true in relation to war which would be reprobated in every other case?
47289Can the Legislature give me a moral right to violate the Constitution of the United States, which I have sworn to support?
47289Can the President be as well acquainted with the qualifications and abilities of officers in the militia as the Governors of the States?
47289Can the fundamental principles of the constitution, rendering contracts sacred, be thus uprooted and destroyed?
47289Can there be any necessity for this?
47289Can they sell these lots, these brick houses, these canal shares?
47289Can they touch no nerve in which Britons feel?

47289Can you have economy when you go into market to bid for what you want?
47289Can you punish them for not doing it?
47289Can your law fail of producing more injury and loss to the United States, than benefit?

47289Could any man say what would take place between this day and the third of March?

47289Could not the Territory of Columbia have been governed without erecting a single corporation in it?
47289Could one be added to the catalogue?

47289Could they have chosen a more appropriate phraseology?
47289Could this doctrine be asserted by any gentleman?
47289Did Venice owe her decline, or fall, to her navy?
47289Did a British gallery ever exhibit such a spectacle?
47289Did ever one Government exhibit towards any people a more bloody and relentless spirit of rancor?
47289Did he too oppose this proposition on the ground of resisting the belligerents or of making war with England?
47289Did it arrest the promulgation, or has it abrogated the Orders in Council-- those orders which have given birth to a new era in commerce?
47289Did it declare to how many Representatives each State should be entitled?
47289Did it enter into the conception of the people when its principles were discussed?
47289Did it follow that minor considerations should be placed out of view or yielded up entirely?
47289Did it not interdict all trade with France under the most severe and heavy penalties?
47289Did it prevent Mr. Jefferson from taking a war course?
47289Did it prevent the unmanly attack upon the Chesapeake?
47289Did it produce starvation in the West Indies?
47289Did not the honor, the character, the independence of the country require of us to go back to our original neutral ground?
47289Did not the late President, when he came into place, refuse to let such money come into the treasury in the case of the worthless Callender?
47289Did not this bill completely come up to their wishes?
47289Did our fathers either effect a change in her injurious policy or prevent a war by non- intercourse?
47289Did that make no difference?
47289Did the nation call it submission when it was enacted under General Washington?
47289Do gentlemen believe it to be true?
47289Do gentlemen consider harpooning a vessel to be like harpooning a whale, which has no men on board of it to take out the harpoon?
47289Do gentlemen mean an abject acquiescence to those iniquitous decrees and Orders in Council?
47289Do gentlemen of the"old school"undertake to say that the Father of their country submitted then to George III.?
47289Do gentlemen plead the necessity of the case?
47289Do gentlemen say that there is no insult in this?
47289Do gentlemen suppose that boats can approach without the most imminent danger?
47289Do not gentlemen perceive the tendency of this measure to involve us with the States upon delicate points?
47289Do the wrongs of this nation end with this outrage?
47289Do these gentlemen come forward and tell you that that the embargo is submission?
47289Do these two declarations hang together, sir?
47289Do they contend that the causes which rendered it necessary have been removed?
47289Do they mean that it should be relinquished to our former masters without a struggle?
47289Do they not bear a hostile aspect?
47289Do we doubt the inveteracy of the French hatred of the British navy when it has existed so many years?
47289Do we not pay an annual tribute to Algiers for liberty to navigate the sea safer from its corsairs?

47289Do you make this declaration to the enemy at the outset?
47289Do you mean to submit?
47289Do you persevere in the conquest of Canada?
47289Do you see one gentleman, one solitary gentleman of one party, discriminated generally as a Federal, who does not vote for this measure throughout?
47289Do you yet contend that the object is to protect commerce?
47289Does France purchase your tobacco or cotton, which heretofore have found a market there?
47289Does a necessity exist superior to the laws?
47289Does a proffer of settlement, connected with such language, look like a disposition or an intention to conciliate?
47289Does an unprotected seacoast of two thousand miles afford her no opportunities of attacking us?
47289Does any gentlemen believe, even allowing the pressure of the embargo to be great upon her, that she can yield, that she can afford to yield?
47289Does any man believe it?
47289Does any man believe that this frontier traffic is not as beneficial to us as to our enemies?
47289Does any man doubt that the war is justly undertaken?
47289Does he believe he has all this time been deceiving the Legislature?
47289Does he discharge as he ought the duties of a friend, a brother in society?
47289Does he recollect the invasion of the Spaniards two years ago?
47289Does it comport with our honor and dignity to admit into our ports and harbors the very vessels destroying our commerce?
47289Does it fall within the power to pay the debts of the United States?
47289Does it follow, from that, that they are entitled to all the rights of hospitality that one nation could possibly show to another?
47289Does it follow, in all cases, that that which would have prevented the war in the first instance should terminate the war?
47289Does it not confine the legality of arming to resident citizens alone?
47289Does it not go, not only to the abandonment of the ocean, but to the seacoast also?
47289Does it not then result, inevitably, as the dictate of common prudence, that we should, as soon as possible, commence our naval preparations?
47289Does it, then, become the representatives of the nation to leave the nation at the mercy of a corporation?
47289Does not England naturalize foreigners?
47289Does not flour find a great proportion of its consumption on the continent?
47289Does not the constitution say, no laws shall be passed abrogating contracts?
47289Does not the industry of the country languish?
47289Does not the right to create a bank, which shall issue this representative of money, come within the same reason?
47289Does not this prove that so much danger existed on the ocean that it was next to impossible to pass without seizure and condemnation?
47289Does she not naturalize your citizens?
47289Does she produce them at home?
47289Does the bank affect the people locally?
47289Does the gentleman mean to assimilate a tribute exacted by Great Britain with that paid to Algiers?
47289Does the gentleman mean to excite our fears for the loss of our property?
47289Does the gentleman say that it was atrocious in 1798 to defend ourselves against the French?
47289Does the history of the past in our own, or any other country, warrant such an expectation?
47289Does the prospect of security there flatter us?
47289Does this prove a change?
47289Does this prove that the embargo was the cause of the change of the politics of the Maryland Legislature?
47289Does this, sir, comport with the principles of justice?
47289Does your flag float afterwards in honor?
47289Even if the price was as low as eight, or say seven dollars, wherefore should the soldier receive less than any other man?
47289First, has the United States a claim, either real or disputed, to this territory?
47289For I would ask, what are we to promise to ourselves from such a system as this; what will be the probable effects of it?
47289For a private, unassisted, insulated, unallied individual?
47289For any great boon that this Government has received from the hands of Great Britain?
47289For gallons will you spill torrents; or am I to understand that we shall have war without bloodshed?
47289For what have you given money to build fortifications?
47289For what purpose were protections given to American seamen?
47289For what purpose, sir, let me ask, have we adopted the resolution preceding this?
47289For what purpose, then, could they be wanted?
47289For what reason are we to subject even our coasters to plunder and abuse?
47289For what was he contending?
47289For what was the object of the opposition in this debate?
47289For what, sir, are we assembled here under a constitution the purest in the world?
47289For whose benefit, sir, is the Government to strip itself of this right, so essential for the due administration of its finances?
47289For why?
47289Forty thousand?
47289From these principles what desertions have we not witnessed?
47289From whence was this conclusion drawn?
47289From which decision Mr. RANDOLPH moved an appeal; which being seconded, the question was put,"Is the decision of the Chair correct?"
47289From which of these stations, said Mr. C., could she have spared, with safety and prudence, a portion of the force employed?
47289GOLD.--The first object with a wise Legislature is, Is the law expedient?
47289Gentlemen ask, has there not been a satisfactory adjustment of our differences with Great Britain?
47289Gentlemen get up and abuse the Spanish Government and people, and what then?
47289Good heavens, between what, Mr. Speaker?
47289Ground their arms and surrender themselves prisoners of war; or are they, sir, to drop their muskets and take to their heels?
47289Had Congress that power?
47289Had he done it?
47289Had it not been more injurious to the United States than to foreign nations?
47289Had not a special court been refused in relation to a property of much greater value than this?
47289Had not gentlemen even called others by name, and introduced every subject on any question?
47289Had not the Navy of Great Britain a beginning?
47289Had the decrees been so modified, under present circumstances, as that they had ceased to violate our neutral commerce?
47289Had the interdiction been confined to British vessels by this law, what would Great Britain have said to this discrimination?
47289Had they not amply redressed the insult of the individual?
47289Had they not had them in other countries?
47289Had we, when all the rest of Louisiana was surrendered to us, obtained possession of Florida?
47289Has France herself agreed to bury her surplus breadstuffs in the earth?
47289Has Great Britain held out the hand of friendship, and have we refused to meet her?
47289Has a picaroon or a buccaneer ever been chastised by them?
47289Has any capitalist said he would venture out in the present tempest which blackens the ocean?
47289Has any malediction of Heaven doomed them to perpetual vassalage?
47289Has it come to this?
47289Has it occurred?
47289Has it operated upon the present Executive?
47289Has it operated, to any perceptible extent, except upon ourselves, during the twelvemonth it has been in existence?
47289Has it released from galling and ignominious bondage one solitary American seaman, bleeding under British oppression?
47289Has not Congress solemnly pledged itself to the world not to surrender our rights?
47289Has not Great Britain driven them all from the ocean?
47289Has not our country increased in wealth and population, in a superior degree to any country on earth?
47289Has not the British army increased with equal pace with her navy?
47289Has not the United States''Bank produced serious alarm?
47289Has not, in fact, the gallant Captain Decatur taken our own seamen out of one of them?
47289Has our hospitality been violated and our officers insulted in our very ports by the vessels of France?
47289Has she not seized every vessel which has arrived at her ports since that period?
47289Has she withdrawn her Orders in Council, and have we insisted on a continuance of our commercial restrictions?
47289Has the Nile ceased to fructify the fields of Egypt?
47289Has the President acted correctly or not?
47289Has the President given any such information?
47289Has the embargo answered?
47289Has the experiment been tried?
47289Has the love of gain superseded every other motive in the breasts of Americans?
47289Has the navy of Russia protected her commerce?
47289Has there been any thing of the kind on our part?
47289Have Sicily and the Barbary coasts returned to a barren state of nature?
47289Have either complied?
47289Have gentlemen reflected on the disastrous consequences of such a system at the present time?
47289Have our citizens been restored to their country?
47289Have they attempted even to show that there exists in the nature of this power a necessary tendency to destroy the nation using it?
47289Have they been committed within our waters?
47289Have they brought forward the mass of their voters as signers to petitions?
47289Have they disturbed the quiet of either House?
47289Have they ever refused supplies because a war was unpopular, since their revolution?
47289Have they not considered it a delicate one?
47289Have they not done so in Baltimore?
47289Have they not in their conduct given us the most sound and wholesome advice on the subject?
47289Have they not more troops on and near the line than we have?
47289Have they not told you, continually, to let them alone; that they knew their own business best?
47289Have they taken a single man out of a ship of war, or one man out of the dungeons of Paris or Arras?
47289Have this Government, and the people of this country, no interest in the prosperity of these manufactories?
47289Have those causes wrought on her a perseverance in her measures?
47289Have those certificates, or protections, as they are commonly called, been confined to_ bona fide_ American citizens?
47289Have those contingencies happened?
47289Have we any French frigates now in our seas?
47289Have we any other evidence of the disposition of the Executive in relation to this bill than that certain gentlemen are in favor of it?
47289Have we constitutional authority to legislate on this subject, and is it expedient so to do?
47289Have we done nothing?
47289Have we done this, as respects Great Britain?
47289Have we from the effects of their trial any lively hope of success in our present attempt?
47289Have we gone to insurance companies or corporations of one kind or another?
47289Have we indeed received no answer?
47289Have we intrigued with the people to induce them to take sides with us?
47289Have we made an impression on the Prince Regent and his Ministry?
47289Have we no country of our own?
47289Have we not already territory enough?
47289Have we not an undoubted right to navigate the Mediterranean?
47289Have we not conclusive evidence to the contrary?
47289Have we not, moreover, the best recorded proof that the present President holds similar opinions on this subject?
47289Have we obtained the objects for which it was commenced?
47289Have we opened our ports to her traders?
47289Have we renewed commercial intercourse with her?
47289Have we stirred up the people into town meetings to aid us by memorials?
47289Have you an army or navy which can make any impression?
47289Have you any thing to hope, by operating upon the minds of the rulers of that nation, a conviction that you are boasting no longer?
47289Have you ever heard of an army on earth that was carried into the field before it had been seasoned in the camp?
47289Have you not as good a right to do that as to pass this law?
47289Have you the least prospect, if you declare war, of attacking Canada this season?
47289He asked if we were prepared to violate the public faith?
47289He asked what will be the situation of this people in sixty days?
47289He asked whether we were prepared to assail our enemy, or repel her attacks?
47289He asked, how efficient could that species of force be, of which the Chief Magistrate did not think it worth while to have a record kept?
47289He asked, what security had the United States, if they did all this, if they submitted to such abject humiliation, that Great Britain would treat?
47289He asked, whether it is wise in an unarmed nation, as we are, to commence hostilities against one so completely prepared?
47289He asked, why rush with this precipitancy into the war?
47289He demanded what there is in the nature and construction of maritime power to excite the fears that have been indulged?
47289He had satisfied his mind that they had engaged in this business unknowingly and unwillingly-- and, what was now asked of the Government?
47289He said, there were two parties in this House; and asked, is it ever known how a question will be decided, until it is taken?
47289He sees the danger clearly?
47289He supposes a sally from a Spanish garrison upon the American forces, and asks what is to be done?
47289He sympathized with the sufferings of his impressed and incarcerated fellow- citizens; but would a territorial war exempt them from impressment?
47289He was asked if any essential alterations would be made within sixty days, in the defence of our maritime frontier or seaports?
47289He wished to know, in point of principle, what difference gentlemen could point out between the abandonment of this or of that maritime right?
47289He would ask that gentleman if he was, during the last embargo, a ship owner?
47289He would, for instance, ask whether so much as related to sacked towns, bombarded cities, ruined commerce, and revolting blacks, had been realized?
47289How abstract, I pray you?
47289How are these orders and decrees to be opposed but by war, except we keep without their reach?
47289How are these pacific advances met by the other party?
47289How are they to be supplied with the article of salt?
47289How are we to get things right?
47289How can we get rid of the war, if we may not say that it is inexpedient, impolitic, and ruinous?
47289How can we make a sacrifice of our own opinions?
47289How comes he in the ranks against us, with his tomahawk and scalping knife?
47289How could one committee properly attend to the mass of business before the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures?
47289How could they be made one with the United States unless by the use of the same language?
47289How did this happen?
47289How distressed?
47289How had it turned out?
47289How had this indisposition for war got into the House?
47289How happens all this?
47289How has it been applied?
47289How has the President performed this constitutional duty?
47289How has this prediction been verified?
47289How is he to know that they have expressed their sense of his conduct from proper motives?
47289How is it now?
47289How is it submission, then, to these orders for us to trade to Gottenburg, when neither France nor Britain command, nor prohibit it?
47289How is our faith plighted?
47289How is our honor affected by removing it?
47289How is that to be done?
47289How many were unable to apply?
47289How shall the law be repealed?
47289How shall we best do it?
47289How stand the people of the British Empire?
47289How then can any encouragement be drawn from that precedent, to support us under the privations of the present system of commercial suspension?
47289How then can we trust to the future predictions of gentlemen?
47289How then has it happened that Congress has taken upon itself the right to erect light- houses, under their general power to regulate commerce?
47289How was it in the conspiracy of Blount and Liston?
47289How wide- spread the relation in the community?
47289How, I ask, could the President act a different part, from the evidence in the case?
47289How, let me ask you, sir, is your Government constituted?
47289How, sir, can I make this matter plainer?
47289How, sir, is it with the State banks?
47289How, then, could the gentleman, after his admissions, with the facts before him and the nation, complain?
47289How, then, is the national faith plighted to France by that law?
47289How, then, sir, are we to account for their late conduct?
47289I ask gentlemen, if her ability to carry on a distant war by land or sea, has diminished?
47289I ask him whether he considers the impressment of American seamen"a violation of an essential right of this country?"
47289I ask if it is necessary?
47289I ask the gentlemen on the other side of the House, whether we have not gained something in this respect by the war?
47289I ask then what physical ability we have to discharge the State taxes, or any other?
47289I ask this House and this nation, whether their hopes or wishes extend beyond what we then enjoyed?
47289I ask whether, under such circumstances, the question ought not to be considered settled?
47289I ask you, sir, where is the strength of which these nations formerly boasted?
47289I ask you, then, sir, why do we hesitate?
47289I ask, did any nation ever do more?
47289I ask, now, whether the impression made by the gentleman from New York was a just one?
47289I beg to be excused for asking him( for I know he scorns submission as much as any man) if submission will pay the public debt?
47289I have been asked, shall Congress rise and do nothing?
47289I have no idea of laughing the subject out of the House; but how can gentlemen see the least probability of success in the invention?
47289I know, sir, that there are men who condemn the conduct of the President in issuing the proclamation; and why?
47289I make the appeal to gentlemen, I demand of the chairman of the committee who reported this bill, why and wherefore it is presented?
47289I might trace the scheme a little further back, and ask, whence the outrages?
47289I now solemnly appeal to gentlemen, why shall we, at this moment, make this marked distinction?
47289I pray you, was not that the condition of the country when Mr. Rose arrived?
47289I request gentlemen to reflect, whether this is not, in point of fact, an abandonment of the other points in dispute?
47289I say, perish the heart, the head and the tongue, that will attempt her justification or apology?
47289I shall, however, examine the non- intercourse system from the date of the law of March, 1809, and inquire what was its professed object?
47289I will admit, sir, that this is not the time or place to institute the general inquiry, whether banks are or are not beneficial to a nation?
47289I will ask how many regiments you have in your present establishment?
47289I will ask the gentleman from South Carolina, what has the nation benefited for this enormous expenditure?
47289I will ask the honorable gentleman from Maryland whether he does not know that letters have been written for that purpose?
47289I will ask, how we succeeded in the Revolutionary war?
47289I will ask, in return, when an officer is appointed to collect the customs, has he not a salary and emoluments?
47289I will ask, what would be the case if such laws had not been passed by the States?
47289I will now proceed, Mr. President, to inquire whether the facts stated in the resolution are supported by the correspondence upon which it is founded?
47289I will put this question to gentlemen: what has Britain done which would require a discrimination as to her public vessels?
47289I wish to know of gentlemen, whether trading with the belligerents, under their present restrictions on commerce, would not be submission?
47289I would ask, how can it be contended to the contrary?
47289I would ask, in a few words, if we ought to continue this establishment in its present state?
47289If B refuses, does A, under the circumstances of such a declaration, violate any obligation, should he refuse to permit the passage?
47289If France has revoked her decrees, is not a non- importation with Great Britain inevitable, and does it not exist?
47289If France revoked her decrees, she was entitled to a non- importation against Great Britain, and if she failed to revoke, what?
47289If a gentleman from Baltimore gives his agent instructions to provide every thing necessary for an East India voyage, what would he expect?
47289If a man submits, of what use are calculations of money, for it may be drawn from him at the pleasure of his master?
47289If done, has it been so done as to amount to an honorable fulfilment or acceptance of our terms?
47289If gentlemen will have it that this is the accepted time for war, how has it happened that we have not had it before?
47289If he did not feel perfectly comfortable in a cold day, should he therefore divest himself of all clothing?
47289If he wished to promote division, how could he better attain his object than by denouncing the people of a particular section?
47289If her Legislature possess it not, can they give it to a Senator?
47289If it is possible to operate on France by commercial restrictions, let me ask if this bill will not accomplish that object?
47289If it was indispensably necessary a day or two ago to provide a revenue, what had since occurred obviating that necessity?
47289If it was not to have influence, why thus evade a decision on the prayer of the petitioner?
47289If it would, to what amount?
47289If justice be not already established in our country, can there be any probability that a more formidable army will effect an object so desirable?
47289If not, then what is meant by this grant to take the property of your constituents, and leave them no remedy for the injury?
47289If obligations of friendship do exist, why does Great Britain rend those ties asunder, and open the bleeding wounds of former conflicts?
47289If obtained, will it accomplish the end proposed?
47289If on such a question the House was to be governed by individual interests, what was the nation to expect from them?
47289If our Government takes away our liberty, is it necessary to contend with a foreign Government for our rights?
47289If our towns could not be defended by fortifications, he asked, would ten frigates defend them?
47289If provision was made for trying this case, must it not be extended to all others?
47289If she can turn our vessels into her ports to pay duty and take out license, what prohibits us from doing the same as to her vessels?
47289If she has it not, can she give it to her Legislature?
47289If so, did he not go to England during the embargo?
47289If so, how can we rely on them against a foe invading our country?
47289If so, how did he go?
47289If so, what will be the effect on the articles of cession and agreement between you and Georgia?
47289If so, why not give the same credence to the letters of the Duke of Massa and the Duc de Gaete?
47289If so, why not unite against the one as well as against the other?
47289If so, would not a fleet secure us from attack also?
47289If such doctrine is to be admitted, when should we have had a moment''s peace?
47289If the alleged principle of retaliation be not the true one, what is?
47289If the article of the constitution, however, did not mean that Congress might take States out of new Territories, what did it mean?
47289If the decree existed in April, 1811, why was it not communicated to this nation, the only one interested in the subject?
47289If the present establishment is not full, what is the reason?
47289If the right to land be indefeasible, could the Government run a road through it?
47289If their existence had been known at the time, would the President in his message recommending an embargo have failed to notice the fact?
47289If then assistance should be offered on the part of the constitutionalists, what is your army to do?
47289If this law were passed, Mr. W. asked, was it perfect?
47289If this law were to pass, could the Secretary of State be authorized to declare the number of Representatives to which each State was entitled?
47289If this principle, then, be equally urged by both, who is to judge between them?
47289If this was the fact, as the committee appear to have believed, I ask, in what their case differs from that of men taken captives by the Algerines?
47289If this were not her object, why such a continued system of illegitimate blockades?
47289If we are to have war, with whom is it to be prosecuted-- not in terms I mean, but in fact?
47289If you did not at once return blow for blow, and injury for injury, would you not at least take a little time to consider?
47289If you mean war, if the spirit of the country is up to it, why have you been spending five months in idle debate?
47289If you settled at all, might you not consider it your duty in some way to make him feel the consequences of his strange intemperance of passion?
47289If your citizens are united, you can capture Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick; when you have effected this, what remains next to be done?
47289If, as some gentlemen say, it is a precursor to war, there were some very serious questions to be asked-- What is the situation of our fortresses?
47289If, at so early a period, the right of search for men was objected to by this Government, how much more forcible is the objection now?
47289If, said Mr. C, we are not able to meet the wolves of the forest, shall we put up with the barking of every petty fox that trips across our way?
47289If, sir, the sufferers under the sedition law did suffer contrary to the constitution, ought not their expenses to be reimbursed?
47289If, then, it be inexpedient to make this discrimination against Great Britain, how is it less so, when directed against France?
47289If, then, while creating a public debt, we neglect to provide the means of payment, what will be the consequence?
47289In a word, is resistance submission?
47289In a year from the time of enlistment their term expires, and what becomes of your conquest, without force to keep it, supposing it to be made?
47289In bank bills, the credit of which is at least doubtful?
47289In despite of experience, do they yet believe that our blessed country_ alone_ can produce food for the world?
47289In other words, why the number of officers should now be fixed agreeably to the act of April 21, 1806, rather than that of the 3d of March, 1801?
47289In peace we require no defence, and shall we declare war in order to defend ourselves?
47289In performance of their lofty promises, in disregard of sacred duties, what have they done?
47289In point of revenue how does it work?
47289In relation to negotiating with measures of coercion in existence, Mr. N. asked, when did the violations of our rights commence?
47289In spite of all its boasted effects, are not the two nations brought to the very brink of war?
47289In such case, what will you do?
47289In such case, would staying at home, and refusing any more to go upon the sea, be an exercise of independence in the citizens of New York?
47289In the Revolutionary war how did England stand-- how her islands?
47289In the commencement of this inquiry, Mr. Chairman, we naturally ask ourselves, what edicts are to be revoked, and how are they to be revoked?
47289In the days of terror, we shrunk at standing armies; and what is the object now-- defence?
47289In the intermediate period, what aspect does a Union, thus destitute of cement, present?
47289In the name of God, Mr. Speaker, what grounds had he for this presumption?
47289In the name of common sense, how can this be true?
47289In this view can you be prepared for war at the expiration of the embargo?
47289In this way, I grant, our conduct may be impartial; but what has become of our American rights to navigate the ocean?
47289In what are these ten millions of dollars to be collected?
47289In what condition do they leave the country, which, eight years since,"in the full tide of successful experiment,"fell into their hands?
47289In what do they differ, to their advantage from other felons?
47289In what does it consist?
47289In what does your export to that region consist?
47289In what mode, or by what_ means_ are they to be effected?
47289In what respect, then, are they to be compared to Aaron Burr?
47289In what school had these illustrious men formed those noble principles of civil liberty asserted by their eloquence and maintained by their arms?
47289In what situation would she have stood in relation to the United States?
47289In what situation would you then place some of the best men of the nation?
47289In what way are we bound again to launch our country into this dark sea of restriction; surrounded on all sides with perils and penalties?
47289In what way will the public coffers be filled?
47289In what will this Government consist?
47289Indeed, sir, and in what respect is it entitled to this definition of self- evident?
47289Independently of the obvious propriety of this proceeding in itself, have we, sir, no examples of the course of conduct recommended by the resolution?
47289Is Canada so far conquered that you can now reduce the term of enlistment?
47289Is Great Britain less powerful now, than she was twenty years ago?
47289Is Napoleon our king?
47289Is a question of construction never to be at rest?
47289Is all this trade of no importance to trading people?
47289Is another brood of"restrictive"harpies, more unseemly and more hungry than their predecessors, to be let loose among them?
47289Is any advantage to be derived from complaining of this?
47289Is any disposition evidenced to omit tearing them from their homes and families in future?
47289Is any gentleman prepared to say a smaller penalty will effect the object?
47289Is commerce to be protected by abridging the natural rights of the people?
47289Is he a man of truth?
47289Is it a fact, that greater injuries exist from France than from Great Britain?
47289Is it a land force?
47289Is it a restoration of French property seized under the law of non- intercourse?
47289Is it a want of capacity?
47289Is it admitted that the British fleet secures her from attack?
47289Is it an enjoyment of our rights, or a direct, full submission?
47289Is it because the British officers impress from our vessels others besides natives?
47289Is it because you have power on your side, sir, that you will not submit to a judicial decision of this question?
47289Is it by merely reviving the law of May last, as is the object of this amendment?
47289Is it calculated to produce this effect?
47289Is it come to this, that a law constitutionally enacted, even after a formal decision in favor of its constitutionality, can not be enforced?
47289Is it denied that the Government can take property from an individual, making him compensation therefor?
47289Is it equal and exact justice to those two nations?
47289Is it extinct?
47289Is it for the benefit of the great mass of the American people?
47289Is it for the honor of the nation to remove the embargo, without taking any other measure, and to bear with every indignity?
47289Is it for the honor or happiness of this nation that we should again pass under the yoke of Great Britain?
47289Is it from his past treatment of us?
47289Is it from the correspondence in the genius of the two governments?
47289Is it indeed guilty to defend our country?
47289Is it lost to this nation?
47289Is it necessary as a measure of self- defence, as the only mode of resistance which will bring England to terms?
47289Is it necessary for me at this time of day to make a declaration of the principles of the Republican party?
47289Is it necessary for me to allude to the reduction of the Army-- to say by whom it was made?
47289Is it necessary for me to descant upon the topics of difference which then separated the two great parties in the Government?
47289Is it necessary to show that the right which was exclusive during the patent, is now the common right of all?
47289Is it not a convenient agent for paying and receiving money?
47289Is it not a spirit of war?
47289Is it not admitted that we may lawfully exclude or admit the vessels of both belligerents?
47289Is it not an abandonment of those rights to which we are entitled?
47289Is it not an exclusive privilege secured to the stockholders of this bank?
47289Is it not for the purpose of promoting"the general welfare"of the nation which we represent?
47289Is it not important that the men who live on the seaboard should know that we have a force to repel attack?
47289Is it not known that all the surplus product of the agriculture of this country finds its vent on the Continent of Europe?
47289Is it not known that, of the whole of our tobacco, seven out of eight parts are consumed on the continent?
47289Is it not obvious that England will not comply with her part of the condition, and that the Emperor never expected that she would?
47289Is it not obvious, from the very terms of the letter, that it contains a condition that the repeal is a qualified one?
47289Is it not presumable that the President would choose to have some communication with our Ministers abroad before the meeting of Congress?
47289Is it not rewarding the perfidy of the one at the expense of the other, and at the expense of ourselves?
47289Is it not surprising, then, that we are called upon to give him the approbation of this House?
47289Is it not then our duty, as guardians of the public interest, to provide this powerful, this necessary means of defence?
47289Is it not these acts which have shut us out from a market?
47289Is it nothing to us to extinguish the torch that lights up savage warfare?
47289Is it on similarity of language?
47289Is it on the ocean that the impression is to be made?
47289Is it possible such doctrine should be advocated on the floor of Congress?
47289Is it possible that such a declaration could be deemed orthodox when proceeding from lips so unholy as those of an excommunicant from that church?
47289Is it possible that this Government will sanction such arbitrary practices?
47289Is it pretended to enter into any stipulations with Great Britain as to our conduct?
47289Is it right to take from one part of the community ten millions of dollars and put it into the hands of another part?
47289Is it so believed by the Administration?
47289Is it that of a nation keen to discern, and strong to resist, violations of its sovereignty?
47289Is it to be imagined that a power so vast would have been left by the wisdom of the constitution to doubtful inference?
47289Is it to be supposed that the people of the United States will agree to this?
47289Is it to our advantage to be excluded from the trade of the continent?
47289Is it to secure the independence of the people, to suffer a foreign nation to impose upon them any terms which it thinks proper?
47289Is it to tell us she never will redress our wrongs; or is it to divert us from a prosecution of our rights?
47289Is it to the interest of the Administration that these abuses should continue, and that loans and taxes should be resorted to to cover them?
47289Is it to walk about this earth, to breathe this air, and to partake the common blessings of God''s providence?
47289Is it unjust to continue the war, till this demand is complied with?
47289Is it want of pecuniary or want of physical capacity?
47289Is it, that we have suffered the non- intercourse law to expire?
47289Is it_ Le Roi s''avisera_?
47289Is no respect due to the opinions of our predecessors?
47289Is not a bank a proper place for the deposit and safe- keeping of money-- more so than the custom- house?
47289Is not every office in law called a franchise or a particular privilege?
47289Is not the authority of the marshals competent to the execution of the laws?
47289Is not the course a just and necessary one?
47289Is not the income of every man impaired?
47289Is not the war- worn soldier calling on us every day with his demands?
47289Is not this a consideration that ought to be taken into account?
47289Is not this feature modelled after the feature in the Government of England?
47289Is not this proof that the merchants did not consider the risk very great?
47289Is not this sufficient to induce us to take away from Governors this prerogative?
47289Is not, then, the exemption from these liabilities an important immunity?
47289Is such an act calculated to induce the belief that the embargo operates as a bounty on British trade?
47289Is that a consideration to have no weight upon such a question as this?
47289Is that a fact?
47289Is that a mere idle discussion?
47289Is the Administration for negotiation?
47289Is the American nation ready to bow the neck?
47289Is the Executive to infer from the proviso that something exists in the law which the friends of the proviso declare does not exist?
47289Is the Secretary of the President of the United States knocking at the door for admittance?
47289Is the South of easier access than the North, and is the circle of hostility to be extended to that quarter?
47289Is the embargo submission?
47289Is the enemy at the gate?
47289Is the gentleman who represents that district( Mr. SEYBERT) willing that they shall absolve themselves from their contract by enlisting in the Army?
47289Is the gentleman willing to surrender the carrying trade to Great Britain?
47289Is the last effort to preserve the peace of the nation, to be abandoned from these considerations?
47289Is the minority thus to be dragooned into this measure?
47289Is the new and before unheard- of system of blockade abandoned?
47289Is the object of this bill to promote science or the useful arts?
47289Is the power to create this paper medium, or national currency, an attribute of State or national sovereignty?
47289Is the removal of the non- importation act, and the admission of British vessels, nothing?
47289Is then a refraining from so doing, submission?
47289Is there a land upon the globe so fair, so happy, and so free?
47289Is there a man who hears us who has not experienced its utility?
47289Is there any liberty left among the people of France, or of those countries that France has conquered?
47289Is there any limitation to the law on the statute book?
47289Is there any probability that there will be any?
47289Is there any probability, the slightest indication, that it will answer?
47289Is there any provision in the constitution directing it?
47289Is there any provision now made?
47289Is there any thing in the last communication from the President, calculated to produce such an effect?
47289Is there any thing yet wanting to fill up the full measure of injustice you have sustained?
47289Is there no danger that we shall become enervated by the spirit of avarice, unfortunately so predominant?
47289Is there no difference between protecting an existing right, and taking away a right from one party for the purpose of vesting it in another party?
47289Is there no difference in the price under these circumstances?
47289Is there not in this some proof that the evil has been magnified?
47289Is there not time, I beseech you, gentlemen, to proceed in the regular mode to the election of our officers?
47289Is there, indeed, a physical impossibility of removing them?
47289Is this a justification for such an atrocious and exorbitant grasp at power?
47289Is this a novel doctrine, either as to time, or the nation who now attempts to enforce it?
47289Is this an honest neutrality?
47289Is this coincidence of members, this exclusively Federal petitioning, no mark of party?
47289Is this embargo what it pretends to be-- preparation for war?
47289Is this great continent and the free millions who inhabit it, again to become appendages of the British Crown?
47289Is this measure no abridgment of their rights?
47289Is this no argument for reduction?
47289Is this republican?
47289Is this the period of all others to be selected to incorporate unmeaning laws in the body of your statute book?
47289Is your course along the highway of nations unobstructed?
47289It appears to be limited to sixty days; at the expiration of that time will any one say we shall be prepared for war?
47289It had been asked, why was the country unprepared for defence?
47289It has been asked whether the embargo has not operated more on the United States than on the European Powers?
47289It has been rejected by France, and rejected by England after an expense of hundreds of thousands of dollars-- and now are we to take it up?
47289It is asked of us, why admit the vessels of France, whilst injuries which she has done us are unatoned for?
47289It was possible, but was it probable that any event would occur to alter our situation for the better?
47289It was then read a third time; and on the question, Shall the bill pass?
47289It would rise, on a removal of the embargo, to ten or twelve dollars; and how long would that price last?
47289Let me ask him, if Administration should not take this course, whether it would not be perfectly proper that Congress should be in session?
47289Let me ask if an American vessel under it can go to any port of France?
47289Let me ask if it be not better to admit them?
47289Let me ask the gentleman who asked that question, what mighty good our Army has done by land?
47289Let me ask who will buy them when put into the market?
47289Let me ask you, sir, what else he did, or could intend?
47289Let me ask, what will be your export while that war continues?
47289Let me ask, which have we placed in the best situation, France or England?
47289Let me, therefore, inquire, in what this horrible act of substitution, as Mr. Jackson would make it appear, consists?
47289Man is frail, and why should not, at times of public agitation and concussion of parties, abuses arise?
47289May I not trust their confutation to that general knowledge of the subject which every member of the House possesses?
47289May we not cherish this sentiment, without presumption, when we reflect on the characters by which this war was distinguished?
47289May we not, in time, have the whole of South America, some of the West India islands, and, possibly, Great Britain?
47289Mr. Chairman, is it for an infant nation, or a popular Government, to be deterred by the want of preparation?
47289Mr. D. asked if the nation was to be saved by long speeches?
47289Mr. MACON asked under what clause of the constitution Captain Murray and others had been remunerated?
47289Mr. STANFORD said:--Mr. Speaker, I would ask if my colleague''s motion of amendment can be in order?
47289Mr. Speaker, are we to be thus amused?
47289Mr. Speaker, can any argument be more conclusive?
47289Mr. Speaker, what would be your conduct on such an occasion?
47289Mr. Speaker: What is this liberty of which so much is said?
47289Must I not, then, deplore the feebleness of voice, the want of force, of manner, and promptness of mind and thought, which limit me?
47289Must the best interests of the nation be put to hazard to save him the mortification of acknowledging his error and retracing his steps?
47289My colleague( Mr. CLAY) has asked for the congeniality between a bank and the collection of our revenue?
47289Need I remind you, said Mr. R., of the millions of victims sacrificed to commercial cupidity on the plains of Hindostan, by means of this navy?
47289Need I say any thing further on the subject?
47289Need I undertake to prove that, from the moment Whitney''s patent expired, his exclusive right ceased to exist?
47289No doubt, sir, when the embargo is taken off, a momentary spur will be given to exportation; but how long will it continue?
47289No; it has the ability, that is admitted; but will it not have the disposition?
47289No; it was intended by this bounty to make us a great commercial people; and shall we ungratefully reject the enjoyment of his unexampled beneficence?
47289Now I would ask, whether it is probable, that the British subjects would be willing to lend us money to carry on war against their sovereign?
47289Now suppose we should look over our former exports to this island in any one year, what should we find the amount to be?
47289Now the questions which result are, has the act been done?
47289Now what is proposed by denying a renewal of the United States''Bank charter?
47289Now, I ask, if they dare not resort to a direct tax, excise laws, and stamp acts, where will they obtain money?
47289Now, he asked, whether men who had any regard to national honor would consent to navigate the ocean on terms so disgraceful?
47289Now, if it became a State, would not all right of negotiation on the subject be taken from the President?
47289Now, is not here an essential right to be alienated?
47289Now, is there any reason to suppose that the contingent expenses of our navy would be greater in proportion to its force than this?
47289Now, sir, I ask when we have made this country a State if we can do this?
47289Now, sir, after thus stripping this extraordinary sentence of all its disguises, and translating it into plain English, to what does it amount?
47289Now, sir, as to the non- intercourse system-- how does that operate?
47289Now, sir, did this decree exist at the time of its date?
47289Now, that the State which the gentleman represents is almost in arms against us?
47289Now, what is the fact?
47289Now, what reliance could be placed on this patriotism?
47289Now, when a vile spirit of party has gone abroad and distracted the Union?
47289Of what avail is the proclamation of the Prince Regent in this country, ordering the British subjects home?
47289Of what consequence is it to us what way the Gottenburg merchant disposes of our products, after he has paid us our price?
47289Of what materials will this army be composed?
47289Of what nature are the rights in contest?
47289On commercial intercourse?
47289On the question, Shall the bill be read a third time as amended?
47289On the question, Shall the bill pass to the third reading as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass?
47289On the question, Shall this bill pass?
47289On the question, Shall this resolution pass?
47289On the question,"Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time, as amended?"
47289On the question: Shall this bill pass to a third reading, as amended?
47289On the subject of impressments, for which alone the war is now to be continued, what, let me ask, is the principle for which our Government contends?
47289On the subject of maritime law, has he not stated things which before were unheard of?
47289On what does the ability of a nation depend?
47289On what ground can this discrimination be defended?
47289On what ground does this rest?
47289On what principle is it that British ships were first excluded and on which their exclusion was confirmed by the non- intercourse law?
47289On what, sir, is the honor of this nation now suspended?
47289Or against England, who, with the monopoly of commerce which you leave her to enjoy, has no object further to annoy you?
47289Or by what right do we create a military school?
47289Or does the obligation of friendship exist on the part of the United States alone?
47289Or in what section of the Union does the gentleman presume to say the American people will not submit to the law?
47289Or is he the President of the United States?
47289Or is he to get that information from inofficial sources?
47289Or is it there our seamen are held in captivity?
47289Or was it ever contended that had not the embargo been raised, the terms of Jay''s treaty would have been worse?
47289Or was the Administration conducted in such a manner as to make the firmness and patriotism of the nation itself doubted abroad?
47289Or, are we to tantalize their hopes with energy in one law and imbecility in another?
47289Or, if it be one of those unmeaning propositions, the discussion of which could answer no good to this House?
47289Ought it not, then, to follow, that the rights of those employed on land or water should also be inseparable?
47289Ought the impending calamities to be left to the hazard of a contingent remedy?
47289Ought we not to relieve its anxieties?
47289Ought we, sir, to depend upon these men to man our fleets, or to defend our ports and harbors?
47289Our privateers; will they have no effect on Great Britain?
47289Pay tribute-- for what?
47289Permit me here to endeavor to illustrate my idea by a reference to the constitution itself?
47289Permit me to ask, how has it been ascertained that a bank is necessary to the operations of the Government?
47289Permit me to inquire of that gentleman whether he ever saw a law authorizing one man to give another his promissory note?
47289Permit me to inquire, in the first place, how the object of the constitution may be attained?
47289Porter,"Free trade and sailor''s rights,"617; is there a man doubts the war was justly undertaken?
47289Public property; and what species?
47289Put down this bank, and how then are your revenues to be collected?
47289Question 2--At what place was the conversation held?
47289Question 3--Have you seen the members alluded to, or any of them, since you first appeared before this committee on Saturday last?
47289Question by the committee-- From the conversation of what members did you collect the information of which you have spoken?
47289Question, shall the Senate adhere to their amendments?
47289Question-- Do you know where Henry is now?
47289Respectable merchants, I observe, form a part of the bank deputies-- for what?
47289Retain the qualified veto, and take away the power to prorogue and dissolve, and what will be the consequence?
47289Reverse this picture, admitting that you have a war with Great Britain, what will be its consequences?
47289SIR: Before I reply to your question,"how many major generals and brigadiers are necessary for an army of thirty- five thousand men?"
47289Say thirty- five, and you add twenty, making together fifty- five: what use is there in multiplying regiments without men?
47289Say, if you please, that you had those ships built, could you send them to sea?
47289Seamen, who shall be attached by every tie to this country, and on whom we can depend for its defence in time of danger?
47289Shall I be obliged by a laborious process of reasoning to prove the obligation of Government to rescue him from such suffering?
47289Shall I be pardoned, sir, when I fear our vessels will only tend to swell the present catalogue of the British navy?
47289Shall I be told the President had discovered that the blockade had been"avowed to be comprehended in, and identified with, the orders in council?"
47289Shall I not attempt to arrest your progress in the path where lies a serpent that will sting you to death?
47289Shall it again be held, in its orbit by the attractive, the corruptive influence of the petty island of Great Britain?
47289Shall it lie unproductive in the public vaults?
47289Shall negotiation be spun out further?
47289Shall the majority govern, or shall a few wicked and abandoned men drive this nation from the ground it has taken?
47289Shall the nation give way to an opposition of a few, and those the most profligate part of the community?
47289Shall the revenue be reduced?
47289Shall this bill pass to a third reading as amended?
47289Shall we after this be told that Congress can not constitutionally exercise any right by implication?
47289Shall we always shrink from the contest?
47289Shall we always yield?
47289Shall we exclude both, admit both, or discriminate?
47289Shall we have companies without captains, or shall the United States pay for two captains?
47289Shall we sit here with our arms folded until the enemy is at our gates?
47289Shall we then abandon commerce, or shall we strive to support it?
47289Shall we then believe the one and not the other?
47289Shall we thereby secure our commercial rights?
47289Shall we turn a deaf ear to the claims of individuals upon Government because of this statute?
47289Shall we vindicate our independence at the expense of our social or moral obligations?
47289Shall we, by their conquest, obtain the objects for which this war is waged?
47289Shall we, sir, continue the war for these men?
47289Shall we, then, by passing this resolution, sanction an idea that Lieutenant- Colonel Washington was entitled to more respect than others?
47289Shall we, then, utter this libel on the nation?
47289Should France have been selected?
47289Sir, are we to continue in this state any longer?
47289Sir, can men thus situated, solvent as they ought to be ten times over, find relief from the State banks?
47289Sir, have I moved you a nauseous, sickening resolution, stuffed with adulation?
47289Sir, have we no rights to defend?
47289Sir, have we not been for years contending against the tyranny of the ocean?
47289Sir, how is this to be done?
47289Sir, if simplicity was not originally contemplated by the framers of the constitution, why the imposition on the people in publishing it to the world?
47289Sir, if this be the fact, of whom does this wealthy population consist?
47289Sir, is it possible that Congress can so far forget their duties to the people and their respect for themselves?
47289Sir, shall I not be permitted to point to the yawning gulf beneath?
47289Sir, what can gentlemen flatter themselves by suffering this discussion to be protracted to so unwarrantable a length?
47289Sir, what has been the cause of our present condition?
47289Sir, what in such a case would be true honor?
47289Sir, what is the nature and import of this proclamation?
47289Sir, what is this power we propose now to usurp?
47289Sir, what sort of title is this?
47289Sir, what would be the effect of passing by unnoticed these gross and insidious insults to both the people and Government?
47289Sir, where is your commerce now to protect?
47289Sir, will not the same reasoning apply against the maritime towns being taxed to support the army of 10,000 men in the West?
47289Sir, will your money, when collected, be safe in the State banks?
47289Sir, without indulging in vague conjectures, what are the best data we have to form an estimate of the amount of specie in the country?
47289Sir, would Great Britain rely for her oracles on the newspapers or pamphlets of this country?
47289Sixty thousand?
47289So far from it, would not the danger of French influence be resounded throughout the nation?
47289Some gentlemen indulge great expectations from privateers; but has Great Britain any unarmed or unprotected trade which they can attack?
47289Strip the proposition, and what language does it speak?
47289Suppose an attack upon any portion of the American army within the acknowledged limits of the United States by a Spanish force?
47289Suppose an attempt to subvert this Government, would not the traitor first aim, by force or corruption, to acquire the treasure of this company?
47289Suppose it ours, are we any nearer to our point?
47289Suppose that the whole fine in any particular case had been paid by individual subscription, what has the Government to do with that?
47289Suppose these men had been arrested and tried in this country, what would have been their lot?
47289Suppose they should neglect or refuse to make these appointments, can you compel them to do it?
47289Suppose this expectation disappointed-- suppose the harbor of New York blockaded by two seventy- fours?
47289Suppose you make this transmission once, can you do it a second time?
47289Surely; and yet we pay annually a tribute for permission to do it-- and why?
47289Surrender your independence-- for what?
47289Take a landsman on board a ship, and what sort of a sailor will he make?
47289Take off the embargo, they cry-- for what?
47289Take, then, the population of Canada to be 300,000 souls; what number of militia should this population furnish?
47289Tell me, said he, what is to keep a great proportion of them from your coast in 1813?
47289That is out of the question; then, the only question is, whether in the present state of the world, the embargo or war is the best for us?
47289That of our cotton, at least one- half finds its market there?
47289That she can admit that we have her always perfectly in our power?
47289That the gentlemen on the other side of the House were divided on that subject, as they were upon the question of the reduction of the Navy?
47289That they should expend large sums of money for the purpose of buying them out?
47289That we should repel insults and respect ourselves?
47289That, because we can not submit to the edicts of the belligerents, we will therefore open a free trade with them?
47289That, under the pretext of a purchase from an Indian, named Double Head, people have gone over to settle lands, is true; but from where?
47289The Orders in Council-- and what were they worth to him?
47289The SPEAKER inquired whether Mr. G. yielded the floor?
47289The SPEAKER then decided that the main question to now put, was:"Will the House concur with the Senate in the amendments made to the bill?"
47289The amendments made by the House having been agreed to, the question was stated, Shall the bill be engrossed, and read a third time?
47289The avowed principle is retaliation, but is it the true principle?
47289The basis of all commerce is calculation; what calculation can be found for distant enterprises when the data are perpetually shifting?
47289The commerce of that city, which exists only by commerce, destroyed?
47289The committee rose and reported the bill without amendment, and the question was, Shall it be engrossed for a third reading?
47289The gentleman from Kentucky( Mr. CLAY) asked, if banks are necessary for collecting the public revenues, why give them any other power?
47289The gentleman from Pennsylvania asked yesterday, why not repeal the embargo laws, and provide for the enforcement of this system by a new law?
47289The gentleman had appealed to the House to know why they would retain them?
47289The gentleman says, suppose they were to return to their country, would they not be punished?
47289The great subject for the contemplation of every reflecting mind in America was, what that remedy should be?
47289The inquiry has been made, with some solicitude, what will you do with_ naturalized foreigners_?
47289The majority now stand on high ground-- what will be said, and what will be the consequence of a refusal?
47289The merchants?
47289The negotiation opens, and what is done?
47289The only question is, do they cease to violate our neutral commerce?
47289The only question that presents itself is, Is the information useful to us?
47289The press is groaning with pamphlets-- for what?
47289The proceeding was unanimous; and what benefit did the British nation receive from this unanimous and prompt proceeding?
47289The proper extent of the discussion growing out of this bill seemed to be confined to these inquiries: Can the force contemplated be obtained?
47289The protection of the General Government claimed?
47289The question is, Has he told the truth?
47289The question is, how many marines are necessary, and in what battles are they employed?
47289The question is, what regulation shall we make respecting public ships, and one of three courses is to be pursued?
47289The question is, what should be done?
47289The question ought always to be, What becomes the nation?
47289The question then arises, what, under these circumstances, ought the officers and crew to be allowed?
47289The question then presents itself, has Congress the power to divest the people of that right?
47289The question was stated thus:"Is the decision of the SPEAKER correct?"
47289The question was then taken--"Shall the amendments be engrossed, and, together with the bill, be read a third time?"
47289The question was then, on what day shall it be read?
47289The question which at once presents itself to every mind disposed to inquire, is, what is the object of this vast military force?
47289The question"Shall the bill be engrossed for a third reading?"
47289The right of not being vexed or endangered by paper blockades?
47289The said bill was, accordingly, read the third time: Whereupon, Mr. SPEAKER stated the question from the chair, that the same do pass?
47289The second object, which should never for a moment escape attention, Can the law be executed?
47289The ship owners, the East and West India merchants, and what cause have they for war?
47289The spoliation of your property?
47289The true question is not, Is the matter expressed in this abstract proposition true?
47289The violation of the personal liberty of your citizens and the degradation of the ensign of your sovereignty?
47289The whole estate or my moiety only?
47289Then the question results, has Congress a right, in order to determine its title, to refer it to any tribunal whatever?
47289Then, to my mind, the only question is, shall we defend ourselves, or shall we submit?
47289There ought to be no question as to what stock they sprung from; the true question was, ought they to be a State?
47289They ask where are the men-- where is the money to be obtained?
47289They asked--"What do we want of Canada?
47289They complained of the first embargo; what did they get?
47289They have been delivered to you by my honorable colleague-- what are they?
47289They were gaining strength daily, and what was the situation of our Southern borders?
47289They were repealed, finally, in consequence-- of what?
47289Thirty thousand?
47289This being the case, who would now be most likely to be supplied with it?
47289This decree did not exist; and why was it not issued?
47289This decree purports to be an act of reprisal on this country, and for what cause?
47289This heaped up measure of legislative contumely is prepared; for whom?
47289Through the medium of the State banks?
47289To break up your infant manufactories, and to deprive poor children at once of a useful employment, and a home?
47289To defeat the passage of this bill?
47289To promote the public good or advance the national prosperity?
47289To protect the constituents of my worthy colleague, in the enjoyment of their peace of mind?
47289To provide no protection against smaller powers?
47289To such favored beings what would be the suggestions of love, truly parental?
47289To the Baltic, sir?
47289To what is it owing that we are at this moment deliberating under the forms of a free representative government?
47289To what purpose do we keep up the Marines, another branch of the Establishment?
47289To what was our superiority owing?
47289To whom will you confide the charge of leading the flower of our youth to the Heights of Abraham?
47289Under all these circumstances was it wise and prudent to discharge the Navy?
47289Under such circumstances is it not to be expected that this measure of the Executive will result in war?
47289Under such circumstances, what should hurry us into the war?
47289Under these circumstances what ought I to do?
47289Under these circumstances, Mr. R. asked the House if it were not necessary for a committee to be appointed to probe into this business?
47289Under this grant, Congress can pass laws to carry into effect the powers vested in the judicial department?
47289Under what clause money paid into the Treasury had been returned in various instances?
47289Upon meeting with this gentleman he inquired of me what had been done?
47289Upon what ground, then, sir, is it that we are called on to pass this additional non- importation act against Great Britain?
47289Upon whom are they dependent for legal existence and for length of days?
47289Virginia has the physical force, but has she a moral right to violate the Constitution of the United States?
47289War has been declared by a law of the land; and what would be thought of similar attempts to defeat any other law, however inconsiderable its object?
47289Was Holland ruined by her navy?
47289Was any nation ever less prepared for war?
47289Was ever any body of men so cruelly wounded in the house of their friend?
47289Was he expected to answer this question?
47289Was he to set at defiance the law of the land?
47289Was it believed that the gentleman from Pennsylvania( Mr. SMILIE) was disposed to submit to the belligerents?
47289Was it competent, he asked, to the Government to receive as testimony the statement of the commander or crew of an American corsair?
47289Was it for the purpose of destroying the Government?
47289Was it for this the martyrs of the Revolution died?
47289Was it not for want of unanimity in support of the measure?
47289Was it not in consequence of its having been wantonly, shamefully, and infamously violated?
47289Was it not, he asked, infinitely absurd and a direct violation of the constitution, to apportion the representation before these numbers were known?
47289Was it obtained_ bona fide_ for a fair and full consideration?
47289Was it proposed now to declare war?
47289Was it so considered by the Republicans, when resorted to for redress against the primary violations in 1793?
47289Was it such a repeal as the gentleman contends ought to have taken place of the Berlin and Milan decrees, viz: under the sign manual of the Emperor?
47289Was it taken from an impression which had gone abroad in the country?
47289Was it that the members of that Army should sheath their swords in the bowels of the liberties of their country?
47289Was it then for the first time, that a division of sentiment appeared on this floor?
47289Was not the President, in good faith, bound to believe the fact, and, believing it, bound to act as he did?
47289Was not the first vessel which ever doubled the Cape of Good Hope, under the flag of the United States, the old frigate Alliance?
47289Was not the royal family decoyed by artifice from Madrid to Bayonne?
47289Was the President of the United States presumed to have turned a deaf ear to the cries of our suffering countrymen in captivity in a foreign nation?
47289Was the batture ceded to the United States?
47289Was the embargo principle considered submission in the days of the stamp act?
47289Was the fact so?
47289Was the gentleman from Maryland( Mr. KEY) who represented the adjacent district, in the same belligerent temper?
47289Was the letter of Mr. Erskine a repeal of the British orders?
47289Was the right of the citizen to fall prostrate before such an_ ex parte_ opinion or statement as that might be?
47289Was there not some difficulty, under the proclamation, in the admission of the Statira frigate, bearing that Minister into our waters?
47289Was this a necessary of life without which they could not subsist?
47289Was this an avowed object in the Convention when it formed this article?
47289Was this blockade such a violation of the neutral rights of the United States as to come decidedly within the act of the last session?
47289Was this body calculated for that branch of Government?
47289Was this the ground on which the subject was placed?
47289We are farther told that impressment of seamen was not considered a sufficient cause of war; and are asked why should it be continued on that account?
47289We are not only, sir, to ruin many innocent and unoffending individuals, but to derange the national finances; and for what is all this to be done?
47289We are now going to war for the protection of these rights; but in what way, and under what circumstances?
47289We are, sir, in a state of war; and what is evidently the course which we should pursue whilst in that situation?
47289We asked, What were the emoluments?
47289We create a military school-- for what purpose?
47289We have been asked, Mr. Speaker, why not lay upon your table a proposition to go to war?
47289We have been asked,"What are some of the small States when compared with the Mississippi Territory?"
47289We lay an embargo-- is there any clause in the constitution authorizing us to lay embargoes?
47289We say we will not trade-- with whom?
47289We take off the embargo, and trade on their terms; what will be the consequence?
47289Well, sir, how does she dispose of it?
47289Well, sir, how was this miracle brought about?
47289Well, sir, if the bank promptly calls in its loan of four hundred thousand dollars, will the debtors be enabled to meet their payments?
47289Well, sir, was there ever a crisis calling on a people for vigorous exertions more awful than that which impends over us now?
47289Well, sir, what then?
47289Well, what then, say my friends?
47289Well, what then?
47289Were I to affirm the House is now in session, would it be reasonable to ask for proof?
47289Were ever a body of men so abandoned in the hour of need, as the American Cabinet, in this instance by Bonaparte?
47289Were gentlemen willing to submit to this: to raise the embargo, and subject our trade to this depredation?
47289Were not parties arrayed against each other in 1796 on the subject of the British Treaty, and in 1798-''9, on the question of a war with France?
47289Were not the disputes in this House, in those times, as long and as bitter as they have ever been since?
47289Were the islands starved during these years?
47289Were these people to be starved out, when they could actually purchase cheaper now from other places than they had formerly done from us?
47289Were they to have resisted, and how?
47289Were we more regardful of the property than the personal liberty of the citizen?
47289Were we not to resist Great Britain because of her 1,130 sail of armed vessels?
47289Were we to redress those wrongs, those commercial injuries, on the land?
47289Were you able in the summer to recruit your army of twenty- five thousand men, could it be employed in any service in the course of this year?

47289Which is best-- to keep them at home, to a certain loss and probable ruin, or adventure them abroad to a possible loss and highly probable gain?
47289While we facilitate negotiations with the British, why should we embarrass and prevent the same with the French?
47289While we throw wide open the door of negotiation to England, why should we shut it against France?

47289Who, sir, can estimate the complicated mischiefs of a depreciated paper currency, without specie for its redemption?
47289Who, sir, will be most likely to avail himself of this privilege, or rather of this course?
47289Who?
47289Whose products, then, would Great Britain carry?
47289Why are we partisans of either?
47289Why are your Ministers now loitering in foreign Courts?
47289Why do it, then?
47289Why give to Congress the right to coin money and regulate its value?
47289Why has it so happened that this necessity has never existed until the last session of Congress?
47289Why has the gentleman shielded British instigation of their outrages?
47289Why has the measure failed of expected success?
47289Why invest it with a capital immense in amount, and sovereign in its control over the external and internal commerce of the country?
47289Why is a judge, sworn to support the laws and constitution of the country, bound by a train of decisions contrary to his own opinions?

47289Why is it out of order?
47289Why keep them up at this place, whence they could not get out of the river perhaps in three weeks or a month?

47289Why need they decide this business immediately?
47289Why not, it was asked, wait for the actual census of the territory?
47289Why not, sir?
47289Why not?
47289Why should our sympathies be awakened in favor of Spain?
47289Why should such a power have been delegated?
47289Why should they come here then?
47289Why should we hurry into a war from which nothing but calamity can be expected?
47289Why so many vexatious restrictions upon neutral trade, tending to destroy competition on our part in the continental markets?
47289Why then is it, that we are called upon to make a new declaration of independence?
47289Why then should they not be manned and put in readiness for service?
47289Why then, in this awful crisis, shall we not look to the same quarter?
47289Why then, sir, should we not have union, when it is so easy and efficacious a remedy for all our difficulties?

47289Why was he not hanged as a traitor?
47289Why was not that mercy which is so pathetically called for bestowed on them by that tribunal before whom the case was examined?
47289Why was the evidence of the repeal of the decrees withheld?
47289Why were they not liberated?
47289Why, and for what was the constitution made?
47289Why, sir, do you think the merchants will believe that you really intend to go to war?
47289Why, sir, does the gentleman disapprove of the President''s proclamation?
47289Why, sir, is it strange?
47289Why, sir, was justice so long delayed, and why was it at last obtained?
47289Why, then, should it be condemned?
47289Why, then, should it be now determined at all events to abandon this measure?
47289Why, then, sir, shall he now affect not to understand us?
47289Why, then, will gentlemen persist in that course where danger is almost unavoidable, and shun that where safety is almost certain?
47289Will a navy have this effect?
47289Will any gentleman regret that this twenty- six gun ship has been built, though the mastery of the Lakes has been acquired without it?
47289Will gentlemen be good enough to condescend so far as to assign some object that the Executive could have had in view from such conduct?
47289Will gentlemen suffer me to turn their attention to this last fact?
47289Will gentlemen tell us from whence they are to procure the principal articles of provisions and lumber?
47289Will he explain it?
47289Will he pretend to say, that this is an offensive war; a war of conquest?
47289Will it be less difficult or unpopular to do this after the debt has accumulated to an enormous amount?
47289Will it be said, that when the arrangement was made with Mr. Erskine the President had no knowledge of the blockading orders of May, 1806?
47289Will it come from the Eastward, in bills of the State banks?
47289Will it compel the great belligerent Powers to do us justice for past injuries and secure us for the future?
47289Will it contradict itself by taking away the seamen?
47289Will it not be prudent to diminish the extent of this evil by putting down this bank which is the fountain from which the whole system flows?
47289Will it then be asked, shall we not go to war and fight our way?
47289Will not the alarm be increased by its continuance at this time?
47289Will not the officer be also liable to the State laws?
47289Will not the same causes produce the same effects now as then?
47289Will she learn nothing from the loss of three or four hundred ships?
47289Will she make no diversions in their favor?
47289Will she suffer us to carry the war into her territories, and not retort upon us?
47289Will she then respect our rights?
47289Will the country be less able to repress insurrection?
47289Will the gentleman say she values the principles of the Orders in Council, as she did the sovereignty of her colonies?
47289Will the gentleman trust the merchants with the guardianship of his own honor?
47289Will the honorable gentleman tell us why?
47289Will they deign to listen to the voice of history, and learn how chimerical are their apprehensions?
47289Will they not forever hereafter compel us to trade as they please?
47289Will they prove us by the_ waters_, and reject all such as will not lap as the dog lappeth?
47289Will this old argument, in favor of a navy, now be used, which we have so often heard heretofore?
47289Will you call upon her to leave your ports and harbors untouched, only just till you can return from Canada to defend them?
47289Will you find him in the person of an acquitted felon?
47289Will you have a list of them?
47289Will you have any?
47289Will you keep house forever, rather than make choice of the path through which you will resume your external rights?
47289Will you not only go to war, but wage a_ bellum ad internecinum_ for it?
47289Will you open your campaign at mid- summer?
47289Will you protect that clandestinely destined to Great Britain?
47289Will you protect that destined to the coast of France?
47289Will you refuse to do yours?"
47289Will you say that your provocations were less then than now?
47289Will you say to England,"end the war when you please, give us the direct trade in our own produce, we are content?"
47289Will you seek for the deep foundations of her power in the frozen deserts of Labrador?
47289Will you tax the great agricultural community for the purpose of protecting this extraneous commerce?
47289Will you, sir, have the goodness to direct an inquiry, and order the release of such as are citizens of the United States?
47289Will, then, any injury, or any combination of injuries, authorize or require national resentment?
47289With them alone?
47289With these facts staring him in the face, how could he do otherwise than urge an early session?
47289With this discriminating, permanent, municipal law, could we expect Great Britain to treat with us as a neutral?
47289With what sentiment, think you, would such doctrines have been received?
47289Without her maritime strength, would she have aspired to balance the scales of power on the Continent?
47289Would a tax on salt, he asked, be equal?
47289Would any gentleman who regarded his honor tell the House that there were 30,000 inhabitants in the undisputed Territory?
47289Would he not be right to suspect those who vote for, and more especially those who bring forward such a proposition, of improper motives?
47289Would he not have used it as one of the strongest inducements to the adoption of this system?
47289Would he respect us more than England would?
47289Would it be good policy, he asked, to let our means of carrying on war on the ocean rot in our docks, and not make use of them?
47289Would it be possible that foreign powers could look up with any reverence to their acts?
47289Would it establish our neutral rights?
47289Would it have been proper for the Government to have entered into no stipulations for the security of American seamen?
47289Would it have had that power, if this right had not been expressly delegated?
47289Would it not prove beyond doubt that the Administration was sincere in its wishes for peace?
47289Would it, in your opinion, be advisable to increase the duty on foreign tonnage?
47289Would not the passage of this resolution be considered as an indirect censure on the other Revolutionary characters who have gone from us?
47289Would not these carriers supply their own manufacturers?
47289Would she carry products of other nations, and let her own manufacturers starve?
47289Would she have become a party to the infamous conspiracy of Pilnitz?
47289Would she have broken the peace of Amiens whence her present dangers arise?
47289Would she have wantonly plotted the dismemberment of France?
47289Would the English nation have endured it?
47289Would the chivalry of gentlemen on the other side of the House have suggested an invasion of France?
47289Would the conquest of those colonies shake the policy of the British cabinet?
47289Would the remedy for this interference with our rights be abandoning the ocean altogether?
47289Would they have been permitted in favor of the United States, could those wants be supplied from any other quarter?
47289Would they suffer cotton to go elsewhere, until they themselves were supplied?
47289Would this satisfy the Emperor?
47289Would you be apt to look as much at the nature of the propositions, as at the temper of the assailant?
47289Would you consent to see a scuffle at the gallows between the civil authority and the military for the body of that wretch?
47289Would you have excluded British vessels since 1793, for taking the vessels engaged in your lawful trade, and for impressing your seamen?
47289Would you not tell such an assailant, that you were not to be bullied nor beaten into any concession?
47289Would you ratify such an arrangement if you could help it?
47289Would you ship your commerce there merely to surrender so much property into the grasp of the Emperor?
47289Yes, Mr. President, I reiterate, are they not murderers?
47289Yes, sir, ask yourself this question in regard to any man, to whom you are about to confide important trusts: Does he pay his just debts?
47289Yet, I ask the question: is not the spirit which it breathes disgraceful?
47289You have always got the better of the argument; you have better proclamations; but what avails all this?
47289You have been heretofore told your paper measures were worth nothing: now that it is proposed to give blow for blow, what is said?
47289You have taken Quebec-- have you conquered England?
47289You will wage war, and not to rescue your fellow- citizens from imprisonment and stripes?
47289Your trade was, a few years ago, unrestrained and flourishing-- did it not enrich the most distant parts of your country?
47289[ 34] For these injuries and insults what atonement has been made?
47289_ Blank ballots, shall they be counted?_--In the House on election for Speaker two blank ballots were cast, shall they be counted?
47289_ In the House_, bill taken up, 547; is it such as to require secrecy?
47289_ Now_, where are we?
47289above the legal rate of interest?
47289and has she not always refused to make any arrangement about them?
47289and that, too, from a nation at all times disposed to depress this growing country?
47289and what would be the probable addition to the revenue applicable to the year 1814 by such increase?
47289are they now more disposed to succumb and accept your terms than before the war?
47289debate become angry and be prolonged?
47289did they fall?
47289for relieving him from a dreadful captivity?
47289has the gentleman received any such, even informally, from any officer of this Government?
47289how is it so influenced?
47289how?
47289if so, whence did it arise?
47289is this that_ bona fide_ performance of the condition?
47289or does any American wish to see his country prostrated still lower?
47289or from the unofficial conversation of the members of the House?
47289or how can Mr. Jackson reconcile it to himself to say that in adhering to these gross insinuations, he did not intend to give offence?
47289or is her hostility merely commercial?
47289or should even endeavor to teach others to venerate, to cherish, to support it?
47289shall our militia be commanded by officers commissioned by the President?
47289the orders of June and November, 1793, which produced Jay''s treaty?
47289to engage every man who is willing to serve his country?
47289to place a recruiting officer in almost every town and village in the United States?
47289were parties never before heard of in this country?
47289what injury have we not suffered?
47289what''s that?
47289what''s that?"
47289where would have been that proud spirit of resistance to Ministerial encroachment on our rights and liberties, which achieved our independence?
47289whether, by our laws, and the practice under them, we have afforded them all that protection and security to which they are entitled?
47289who are they?"
