63298 | But what is their wisdom so willingly imparted? |
63298 | Can we not rationally expect that even more will be given to the movement which is to multiply many times the usefulness of all colleges and churches? |
63298 | Even though they lose millions in attempting some audacious act, do they therefore refuse to attempt another act equally bold? |
63298 | From what follies are they so anxious to guard us? |
63298 | How shall we recover it? |
63298 | How? |
63298 | Is it not a rule in war always to fire in the direction opposite to that advised by your enemies? |
63298 | It may be asked, if the Volunteer Speakers work without pay, many of them living on heroic diet and traveling on foot, what need of money? |
63298 | Questions: Shall I ask a policeman to help me catch the despoiler, or shall I"cease agitating and go to work?" |
63298 | Shall I arm myself and, with the help of friends, take back my own, or shall I return to the farm and"practice industry, frugality and temperance?" |
63298 | What are the best methods of preparation? |
63298 | What but legislation can remove the barriers and allow them again to come together? |
63298 | What is it but legislation that keeps apart in unnatural divorce these two that God hath joined together? |
63298 | What is the result? |
63298 | What should our pious travelers do? |
63298 | Which shall it be? |
63298 | Whose history and statistics are we to believe in this campaign? |
63298 | Why continue to pray and plead for what God has already placed within our reach? |
63298 | Why is this? |
63298 | Why now crawl longer in the dust like worms beneath the feet of tyrants, when God bids us rise and stand erect? |
63298 | Why plan educational and charitable institutions in the slums when the causes that produce the slums are left untouched? |

14104 | Can Congress Tax the Income from State and Municipal Bonds? |
14104 | Our Changing Constitutionand"Is the Federal Corporation Tax Constitutional?" |
14104 | Are the states to be submerged and virtually obliterated in the drift toward centralization? |
14104 | Assuming, then, that this is the real nature of the tax, is it constitutional? |
14104 | CAN CONGRESS TAX THE INCOME FROM STATE AND MUNICIPAL BONDS? |
14104 | Can Congress impose a tax on the exercise of that privilege or franchise? |
14104 | Does Congress possess such a power? |
14104 | How will the women voters meet this test? |
14104 | IS THE FEDERAL CORPORATION TAX CONSTITUTIONAL? |
14104 | IX CAN CONGRESS TAX THE INCOME FROM STATE AND MUNICIPAL BONDS? |
14104 | Is the Constitution hopelessly out of date? |
14104 | Shall the conduct of citizens of Mississippi be prescribed by vote of congressmen from New York, or supervised at the expense of New York taxpayers? |
14104 | Someone may ask,"What effect will the granting of votes to women have on the problem of preserving the constitutional equilibrium?" |
14104 | WHAT OF THE FUTURE? |
14104 | What is the reaction of women voters likely to be toward questions of political theory? |
14104 | What then of the future? |
14104 | What, then, is the privilege with respect to which the tax is imposed? |
14104 | What, then, is this common- law rule which President Taft found so clear? |
14104 | Whatever legal uncertainties have arisen have been chiefly owing to two questions: first, What is_ interstate_ trade within the meaning of the act? |
14104 | Wherein, then, did the novelty and greatness of the Constitution lie? |
14104 | Will an abstract proposition hold its own in their minds against a concrete appeal? |
14104 | Will an educational system suitable for Massachusetts necessarily fit the young of Georgia? |
14104 | Will the people see these things in time? |
14104 | X IS THE FEDERAL CORPORATION TAX CONSTITUTIONAL? |
14104 | XIII WHAT OF THE FUTURE? |
14104 | and second, Did the act enlarge the common- law rule as to what restraints were unlawful? |
816 | Amidst the ruins which surround me, shall I dare to say that revolutions are not what I most fear coming generations? |
816 | But is this really the case? |
816 | But life is slipping away, time is urgent-- to what is he to turn? |
816 | Can anyone fail to recognize the peculiar want of that singular community which was formed for the conquest of the world? |
816 | Can it be wondered that the men of our own time prefer the one to the other? |
816 | Chapter XXIII: Which Is The Most Warlike And Most Revolutionary Class In Democratic Armies? |
816 | Have we more sensibility than our forefathers? |
816 | Is it enough to observe these things separately, or should we not discover the hidden tie which connects them? |
816 | Is this a consequence of contempt of decency or contempt of women? |
816 | Is this the result of accident? |
816 | Out of the pale of the constitution they are nothing: where, when, could they take their stand to effect a change in its provisions? |
816 | That country having no written constitution, who can assert when its constitution is changed? |
816 | Thus 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?) |
816 | Voulez- vous savoir des nouvelles de Rennes? |
816 | Vous avez donc baise toute la Provence? |
816 | What can be expected of a man who has spent twenty years of his life in making heads for pins? |
816 | What could be said more to the purpose at the present day, when the Revolution has achieved what are called its victories in centralization? |
816 | What is this but aristocracy? |
816 | What more is needed by the venal souls which are born in courts, or which are worthy to live there? |
816 | Whence does this arise? |
816 | Which are wrong?--the French of the age of Louis XIV, or their descendants of the present day? |
816 | Which was right?--the English people of the last century, or the English people of the present day? |
816 | Whilst 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? |
816 | Why did the Reformers confine themselves so closely within the circle of religious ideas? |
816 | Why should I say more? |
816 | Why then should he confound his life with theirs, and whence should so strange a surrender of himself proceed? |
816 | Why then should they stand so cautiously apart? |
816 | Will nobody undertake to make them understand how what is right may be useful? |
816 | Will the administration of the country ultimately assume the management of all the manufacturers, which no single citizen is able to carry on? |
816 | does the equality of social conditions habitually and permanently lead men to revolution? |
816 | or is there in reality any necessary connection between the principle of association and that of equality? |
816 | or who does not understand what is about to follow, before I have expressed it? |
35932 | All 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? |
35932 | Are 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? |
35932 | But_ cui bono_ the vast and expensive apparatus now appertaining to the States?" |
35932 | By what considerations are they to be controlled? |
35932 | Had the State courts degenerated? |
35932 | Has the applicant a right to the commission he demanded? |
35932 | How are they to act in the decision of these questions? |
35932 | If he has a right and that right has been violated, do the laws of his country afford him a remedy? |
35932 | If they do afford him a remedy, is it a mandamus from this court? |
35932 | Is it in that sense sacredly obligatory upon all who are subject to its authority? |
35932 | Nam quis nescit primam esse historiæ legem ne quid falsi dicere audeat? |
35932 | Ne qua simultatis? |
35932 | Ne qua suspicio gratiæ sit in scribendo? |
35932 | Now where was his warrant for these scandalous denunciations? |
35932 | On what grounds? |
35932 | Under such circumstances, I ask, what are they to do? |
35932 | Was Hamilton advised of the application to Jefferson, and was it made with his approbation? |
35932 | Was it the intention of the framers of the Constitution that it should be clothed with other powers, and if so, what are they? |
35932 | Was not this giving up the merits of the question, for can there be a good government without a good executive? |
35932 | What are the true principles that should be applied to the construction of the Constitution? |
35932 | What can I do better than withdraw from the scene? |
35932 | What was the nature and what the extent of Washington''s design in this application? |
35932 | What were they, if not of the character I have suggested? |
35932 | Whence this change? |
35932 | deinde, ne quid veri non audeat? |
35932 | to which I have referred? |
27506 | Was 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? |
27506 | But 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? |
27506 | Can it be said that the war she waged against it remained without any result? |
27506 | Did the elderly_ camerara mayor_, already three- score and ten, dare to spread alluring snares wherein to entrap an amorous prince of thirty? |
27506 | Did the young Duchess personally merit that aversion and contempt? |
27506 | How did Italian finesse and cunning blend and harmonize with the quick penetration and delicate tact of the Frenchwoman? |
27506 | How did she consort with an Italian husband? |
27506 | Of what has a good girl to be penitent who has done nothing wrong? |
27506 | The 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? |
27506 | The question was how to guarantee themselves from that untoward eventuality? |
27506 | Was it an attack of cholera, as was said? |
27506 | Was it the hereditary avarice of the house of Condé which thus revealed itself in the odious sentiment of that unworthy son? |
27506 | Was not one single moment given him? |
27506 | Were they in the plot? |
27506 | What did she do there? |
27506 | What explanation, what palliation, can there be for such an enormous outrage to our common humanity? |
27506 | What mysteries did the Medina Coeli palace witness, in which Madame des Ursins shut up closely Philip V. from the gaze of every prying eye? |
27506 | What passed during the eight months of that widowhood so painfully borne? |
27506 | Whatever might have been the personal merit of the wife of the great Condé, did the little she had justify the wretchedness of her destiny? |
27506 | When Louvois had finished writing, Courtin, with some emotion, asked him what that_ lettre de cachet_ was? |
27506 | Who could tell whether, at that court, before the departure of Marie- Louise had removed all hope, her"position might not be menaced"? |
27506 | Who would have dared to remind her of that imprudent proposal in 1640? |
27506 | With what ambition was she soon inspired in the more elevated position in which her second marriage placed her at Rome? |
27506 | and my son?'' |
27506 | did he die upon the spot? |
27506 | if she is such a great lady, why did she condescend to become a_ catin_? |
27506 | mademoiselle, how is my brother?'' |
27506 | mademoiselle, my son, my dear boy, answer me, is he dead?'' |
27506 | to what sort of occupation, madame, have you destined me? |
27506 | when will this horrible effusion of blood cease?" |
27192 | To what conclusion have you come after so long a silence? 27192 What will you do for me, then?" |
27192 | What will you do? |
27192 | AND now what was the actual position of Mazarin on succeeding to power in 1643? |
27192 | And now what gave birth to the Fronde, or what sustained it? |
27192 | And through what motives? |
27192 | And what was that true cause? |
27192 | But how did the Queen gain over Condé, and what part did Madame de Longueville play in the affair? |
27192 | But of what stamp must have been that soul which could find consolation in all this? |
27192 | But what are promises, marriage vows, or even bonds written in blood? |
27192 | But what_ was_ the party in fact then conspiring against Richelieu? |
27192 | But who would accept that satire literally? |
27192 | Did Condé lose a moment in marching against Turenne and pursuing him sword in hand? |
27192 | Did he look forward to an independent principality, as he later on desired to obtain from the Spaniards? |
27192 | Did he not deceive himself as much and for a far longer period than she? |
27192 | Did he show more address in political strategy or courage in the dangerous strife, more intrepidity and constancy in defeat? |
27192 | Did not the French nobility rise to a man against such a state of things? |
27192 | Did the cleverest consider a position as lost? |
27192 | Frenchmen had begun to ask one another, who_ was_ this Mazarin who had come to rule over them? |
27192 | Has the influence of the sex decreased since the days of the dusky beauty whose irresistible fascinations"----lost a world, and bade a hero fly?" |
27192 | In reality, to what did Condé aspire? |
27192 | In the attack of that position, did Napoleon mean to reproach Condé with want of boldness? |
27192 | Now how far had this_ liaison_ of a few days gone? |
27192 | Or rather did he think of snatching from the Duke d''Orleans the lieutenant- generalship? |
27192 | Rather, is it not infinitely more subtle, wider, and more prevailing than ever? |
27192 | That was sufficient, doubtless, to make everybody tremble, but was it enough to inspire confidence in anyone? |
27192 | The young hero arrested for treason, and prisoner to whom? |
27192 | To commence another Fronde? |
27192 | To constitute himself the head of the nobility against the Court? |
27192 | Under these critical circumstances how did it behove Madame de Chevreuse to act? |
27192 | Was it Madame de Longueville who caused the rupture of the projected marriage between the Prince de Conti and Mademoiselle de Chevreuse? |
27192 | Was it not the party of former coalitions-- of the League, of Austria, and of Spain? |
27192 | What could be more_ diverting_? |
27192 | What more adorable mistress could an audacious aspirant dream of? |
27192 | What roused up the old party of the_ Importants_, stifled for some years, it would seem, under the laurels of Rocroy? |
27192 | What separated the princes of the blood from the Crown? |
27192 | What turned against the throne that illustrious house of Condé, which, until then, had been its sword and shield? |
27192 | Who broke off the contracted engagement? |
27192 | Who destroyed the Fronde by dividing it? |
27192 | Who restored them both and for ever to the Queen and Mazarin? |
27192 | Who struck at and wounded by the self- same blow the Palatine and Madame de Chevreuse? |
27192 | Who, then, prevented it? |
35689 | But,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? |
35689 | And what did they do? |
35689 | And why did they resort to women''s methods? |
35689 | Are men responsible for the evil of their upbringing? |
35689 | Are these values in the department of government or in the equally essential departments of education, society, and religion? |
35689 | Better government where? |
35689 | But do the suffragist leaders care a jot about the reforms? |
35689 | But 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? |
35689 | But would they? |
35689 | But, 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? |
35689 | Can any one tell at what moment a child may need unusual attention and thought to guide it aright? |
35689 | Can anyone doubt that radical views are startlingly on the increase? |
35689 | Did 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? |
35689 | Did they form party organizations? |
35689 | Did they vote about it? |
35689 | Do n''t you think she''s struck a great blow for freedom?" |
35689 | Do we not suspect, indeed, that they are turning to new ideals, because they have never tried the old? |
35689 | Do you wish to have that ideal changed? |
35689 | Does this sort of thing tend to increase woman''s influence in uplifting and benefiting her community? |
35689 | How shall it endure? |
35689 | IX ARE SUFFRAGISTS SINCERE REFORMERS? |
35689 | In order to make it unnecessary for legislators to make"ridiculous concessions"to this type of woman, the World advocates-- what? |
35689 | In what way will our young men be safer because their mothers and their wives have the ballot? |
35689 | Is it not their mothers rather, who should bear the heaviest burden of blame? |
35689 | Is it surprising that the anti- suffragist sees a vast, unexhausted field for woman''s influence outside the political? |
35689 | Is it unfair to say such utterances confuse moral values and weaken the sense of individual responsibility? |
35689 | Is there anything here in the State''s charity work which would make any woman other than proud of its record? |
35689 | Is this insincerity or hypocrisy, or mere aberration of mind? |
35689 | Pankhurst?) |
35689 | Shall we not dream of a united American womanhood? |
35689 | The arraignment is severe, but is it not deserved? |
35689 | The financial side must enter into the problem some time; is n''t the present a good time? |
35689 | The question is, will government by the votes of men and women together produce better results than by men alone? |
35689 | The whole question here is: Is it better for her to do this, or to do the things which men do n''t do? |
35689 | Was this boycotting of the peace movement condemned by the suffragists? |
35689 | We do not promise to do great things for women; why should we? |
35689 | What else does it mean when we say we can not enforce the laws? |
35689 | What have the mothers done in these years? |
35689 | What is happening to moral conditions in San Francisco since women vote? |
35689 | What is the chief lesson of the great war? |
35689 | What is the result? |
35689 | What is the work of women? |
35689 | Who would dare deprive our children of this precious heritage? |
35689 | Why have they failed so lamentably? |
35689 | Why were they not taught to control the other fundamental instinct of life at a time when such a thing was possible? |
35689 | Why? |
35689 | With these scenes in Chicago in mind, do you think he will? |
35689 | Would it increase the power which they already hold? |
35689 | Would they have done it in justifiable numbers? |
35689 | Would 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?" |
30051 | Are the men who are to lead a great party as double- faced and untrustworthy as Mr. Roraback paints them? |
30051 | Are these evidences of a wave rapidly receding? |
30051 | At that time the question,"Will the House pass the bill notwithstanding the objections of the Governor?" |
30051 | By what right do you make this assumption? |
30051 | Did 30,000 go to the polls and fail to vote for anybody or anything?" |
30051 | Do you know of any other State where the entire campaign was carried on by but two paid workers-- a manager and a stenographer? |
30051 | Have they any advice to offer? |
30051 | Here the great need of a State organization was very apparent, as legislators constantly asked,"Where are the suffragists from my district?" |
30051 | How came it there? |
30051 | How can woman''s political influence be brought to bear most effectively on Parliaments and governments? |
30051 | How could such differences, each defended as it was by intense conviction, be united in a common platform?... |
30051 | In a symposium, Why Should Representative Governments Enfranchise Women? |
30051 | Many old- timers said:"What would our State have been without the women? |
30051 | Miss Clay''s address, entitled Who Works Against Woman Suffrage? |
30051 | Mrs. Münter gave an address on the Legal Position of Danish Women; Dr. Elizabeth Altmann Gottheiner, Germany, Does the Working Woman Need the Ballot? |
30051 | Old prospectors back in the mountains when approached and asked for their votes would say:"Do you ladies really want to vote? |
30051 | The Speaker, Stanley G. Allson, instead of asking the usual question"Shall the bill pass?" |
30051 | The founder of Smith College said she was led to leave her fortune for that purpose by reading his article, Ought Women Learn the Alphabet? |
30051 | Then why profess such a burden of personal responsibility in the matter? |
30051 | Then you think it would be much better to give the women the right to vote than the men? |
30051 | They gave everything asked for and inquired,"Is there anything else we can do for you?" |
30051 | War and Woman''s Service; What can we do? |
30051 | Were they laughing in their sleeves as they wrote the solemn pledges in the rest of the national platform? |
30051 | What can Men Do to Help the Movement for Woman Suffrage? |
30051 | What political work have the women of the enfranchised countries done, what is their relation to the different parties and how do these treat them? |
30051 | What should be the relation of the suffrage movement to political parties in the unenfranchised countries? |
30051 | What won the State? |
30051 | Who but women fighting for their freedom could ever have had the courage to keep on? |
30051 | Who led those bloodthirsty mobs? |
30051 | Who shrieked loudest in that hurricane of passion? |
30051 | Who were they? |
30051 | Will you be prepared to put it back?..." |
30051 | With the aid of the National Association 10,000 copies of Mrs. Catt''s leaflet, Do You Know? |
30051 | and furnished envelopes and stamps for them; 14,000 pieces of literature for advanced suffragists; 1,000 copies of Do You Know? |
30051 | put the question"Shall the bill be rejected?" |
36579 | And I suppose you intend to vote the straight ticket right along? |
36579 | And what do you think will follow? |
36579 | Are n''t there any Christians in Congress? |
36579 | Are you a Republican? |
36579 | Are you in earnest? |
36579 | Are 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?" |
36579 | But,you may say,"should he have stayed on where he was not wanted?" |
36579 | Do they despise us as much as ever? |
36579 | Do 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?" |
36579 | How are the people abroad thinking of us nowadays? |
36579 | I suppose you have always voted the straight ticket? |
36579 | I wish I could say that I did,he had the effrontery to reply calmly;"but how could I? |
36579 | No 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?" |
36579 | Really? |
36579 | The bright new flags, or the old, ragged flags that have been in the battle? |
36579 | What is the matter, Chester? |
36579 | Where are you going so fast, my little man? |
36579 | Which do you like best, mother? |
36579 | Which do you like best? |
36579 | Why,said the boy quickly,"is n''t that bribery?" |
36579 | And if we decide on a monarchy, where should we get our royal family? |
36579 | And what is more potent in moving the will? |
36579 | Are n''t you afraid it will spoil if you do n''t put it in the ice- chest?" |
36579 | Are the back yards unsanitary? |
36579 | Are the roads bad in your town? |
36579 | Are the schools inferior or managed by politicians? |
36579 | Are the taxes improperly collected? |
36579 | Are the town officers inefficient? |
36579 | But, if we want to become a healthy and powerful people, what is more necessary for us than strong and healthy mothers? |
36579 | CHAPTER VII WORK AS A VITAL PART OF PATRIOTISM Gurowski asked,"Where is the bog? |
36579 | Do n''t you want him to know about tea,--where it grows and how it is prepared for the market?" |
36579 | Do they wish it to look all over like a slum?" |
36579 | Do you exalt in your conversation the prize- fight and the automobile- race? |
36579 | Do you patronize salacious plays? |
36579 | Had he not struck, perhaps, the main reason for the corruption of our politics? |
36579 | Have you not noticed how many laboring men remove their hats when apologizing to you, or offering a seat in a street- car? |
36579 | Have your people no pride in their country? |
36579 | I could n''t deny it, could I? |
36579 | If its government is so rotten that it can not last, what should be done?" |
36579 | Is the air in your parlor or study often thick with tobacco- smoke? |
36579 | Is the town poorly policed? |
36579 | Is wine or beer served there? |
36579 | Must not the night disgorge The ghosts of Bunker Hill, The ghosts of Valley Forge, Or England''s mightier son The ghost of Washington? |
36579 | No ghosts for seeing eyes? |
36579 | Of what use are our hard- won educational advantages, if they are going simply to a band of sickly, half- dead girls and women? |
36579 | One of them asked pleasantly,"Is your mother at home?" |
36579 | Or do you think an oligarchy a better form? |
36579 | Or say,"Excuse me?" |
36579 | Or should we request Europe to send us one?" |
36579 | Should we elect one from candidates that present themselves? |
36579 | Was not that boy deliberately turning over the government of his city to"boodlers"and"grafters"? |
36579 | Was that patriotic? |
36579 | What does one vote amount to anyway? |
36579 | What is that but interest or enthusiasm? |
36579 | What magazines? |
36579 | What newspapers are lying around there? |
36579 | What sort of conversation goes on at your table? |
36579 | What sort of people visit your home? |
36579 | Where do you come from? |
36579 | Why should not every one recite his favorite poem? |
36579 | You may ask,"What do you advise to take the place of the present mode of dress?" |
20439 | Do 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?... |
20439 | Does not the law of the United States give the slaveholder the ownership of the slave? 20439 Have they done as they promised?" |
20439 | I want to know,shouted Frederick Douglass,"if granting you the right of suffrage will change the nature of our sexes?" |
20439 | IS IT A CRIME FOR A CITIZEN... TO VOTE? |
20439 | Is this your usual manner of serving a warrant? |
20439 | My friends, what are we here for? |
20439 | Oh, 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?" |
20439 | Who Were the Voters in the Early History of this Country? |
20439 | Why go pell- mell for Grant,asked_ The Revolution_,"when all admit that he is unfit for the position? |
20439 | Why 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? |
20439 | And do n''t you break it every time you help a slave to Canada? |
20439 | Anthony?" |
20439 | Are these cases heavier than a wash tub filled with water and clothes, or the old cheese tubs?... |
20439 | Can it be that my stammering tongue ever will be loosed?" |
20439 | Enthusiastic over her Albany success, she impetuously wrote Lucy Stone,"Is this not a wonderful time, an era long to be remembered? |
20439 | Garrison in his_ Liberator_ had already asked,"Will the South be so obliging as to secede from the Union?" |
20439 | How about the enfranchisement of Negroes by federal amendment or the enfranchisement of foreigners? |
20439 | How can you not be all on fire? |
20439 | How could such women, she asked herself, hope to represent the earnest, hard- working women who must be the backbone of the equal rights movement? |
20439 | I have been asked along the Pacific coast,''What about Woodhull? |
20439 | Impulsively she came to Victoria''s defense at the convention:"I have been asked by many,''Why did you drag Victoria Woodhull to the front?'' |
20439 | She 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? |
20439 | THE 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? |
20439 | Taking as her subject,"What Is American Slavery?" |
20439 | Then with mounting impatience, she asked them,"How long will this injustice, this outrage continue? |
20439 | They abused him in their newspapers and he, not to be outdone, ridiculed them in his speeches, shouting,"Where is Wendell Phillips, today? |
20439 | This 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? |
20439 | Turning to the men in the front row, Professor Davies then asked,"What is the pleasure of the convention?" |
20439 | Was Merritt among them? |
20439 | Was it for this reason, Susan asked herself, that Mrs. Woodhull was called a"free- lover,"or did she actually advocate promiscuity? |
20439 | Were they forever to be regarded as children or as lower than persons, along with criminals, idiots, and the insane? |
20439 | What did she think of this? |
20439 | What was it, Susan wondered, that kept them from understanding? |
20439 | When this platform is too narrow for all to stand on, I shall not be on it.... Who is to set up a line? |
20439 | Where is Henry Ward Beecher? |
20439 | Where is Horace Greeley in this Kansas war for liberty? |
20439 | Where is William Lloyd Garrison? |
20439 | Who knows? |
20439 | Why did the federal government interfere in her case, instead of leaving it in the hands of the state of New York? |
20439 | Will the vows be kept to them-- will the girls have equal chances with the boys? |
20439 | Will they return quietly to the plantation and patiently endure the old life of bondage with all its degradation, its cruelties, and wrong? |
20439 | You make her your leader?'' |
20439 | [ 293]"Did you have any doubt yourself of your right to vote?" |
20439 | [ 2] Charles B. Waite,"Who Were the Voters in the Early History of This Country?" |
15691 | And why should one desire to undertake this arduous responsibility? |
15691 | Are foreign entanglements necessary or desirable? |
15691 | Are not married women better fitted than celibates to deal with boys and girls in the period of adolescence? |
15691 | Are our interests nearly identical with those of England? |
15691 | Are our republican neighbors to the south to be increasingly recognized as under our protection and direction? |
15691 | Are they able to form political judgments? |
15691 | Are they able to make a wise selection of people to represent them in political action? |
15691 | Are we fitted by the genius of our institutions and by our experience to handle a foreign empire? |
15691 | But how can celibate young women, longing toward the towns, give this? |
15691 | But why should a woman be forced to leave teaching because she marries? |
15691 | Had not St. Paul declared:"It is a shame for women to speak in the church"? |
15691 | Has he serious defects that may cause his failure? |
15691 | Has he the honesty to resist the temptation to exploit me? |
15691 | Has he the leadership to command the best efforts of the subordinates in his department? |
15691 | Have they knowledge of the working of political machinery; or, lacking it, are they prepared to obtain it? |
15691 | Have they need of the protection which government gives? |
15691 | Have they need of the training which participation in political life gives? |
15691 | How can these women train safe citizens for the future if they do not understand the processes involved well enough to use them themselves? |
15691 | How could they combine an independent professional or industrial career with the life of a home and the responsibilities of a mother? |
15691 | How does it work in England, where it has been fairly tried? |
15691 | How does its use affect him? |
15691 | How far must older social restraints be modified in the interest of intellectual and industrial freedom? |
15691 | How would such an alliance affect our relation with England''s present ally, Japan? |
15691 | How, then, is good government achieved? |
15691 | If not, what should we do with the Philippines? |
15691 | If so, how are we to maintain the peace and secure payment of their foreign debts? |
15691 | If so, how can it be reached? |
15691 | If so, with what European or Asiatic nations should we seek to strengthen our friendship? |
15691 | In the past, the partnership of marriage has been incomplete on the property side; why not complete it? |
15691 | Is he an opportune man for the time and place? |
15691 | Is the work of the family more petty or monotonous than the work of the factory, shop or office? |
15691 | On what terms or under what guarantees should they be turned over to individuals or companies, if this is to be done? |
15691 | Shall woman in her time of need turn to a state made up of other women, or to a state made up of men? |
15691 | Should a great corporation pay taxes in proportion to its wealth, and in places where the wealth is protected by the law? |
15691 | Should a man with a cash income of$ 50,000 a year pay more to support government than one with a cash income of$ 500? |
15691 | Should churches, museums, libraries and schools be taxed; if not, why not? |
15691 | Should she be required to stand through hours of continuous work? |
15691 | Should she handle substances that endanger health? |
15691 | Should she have a decent retiring- room? |
15691 | Should she work at night and overtime? |
15691 | Should she work in bad air, due to dust, moisture, or excessive heat or cold? |
15691 | Should she work with dangerous machinery? |
15691 | Should taxes be devised, or continued, to protect such infant industries as now handle our kerosene oil, meat, sugar and steel? |
15691 | Should taxes be laid on flour, meat and eggs, on woolen cloth, on silks, velvets, ostrich plumes and diamonds? |
15691 | Should taxes be laid on whiskey, wines, tobacco, cigars and race- tracks? |
15691 | Should they be thrown away, gambled away, given away as favors, rented, sold, or handled directly by the people? |
15691 | To 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? |
15691 | What are some of the questions, then, on which he must form judgments? |
15691 | What are the effects of direct and indirect taxation? |
15691 | What are the objections to an income tax? |
15691 | What do the national, State and municipal governments own? |
15691 | What does it enable him to accomplish? |
15691 | What line of education should women pursue? |
15691 | What lines of work could they best undertake? |
15691 | What now is the relation of women to the range of political activity described in the last chapter? |
15691 | What qualities does political life presuppose in a participant? |
15691 | What should she do? |
15691 | What then does daily association of a man and woman who belong together do for them? |
15691 | When the work is reasonable, how long should a woman work daily? |
15691 | Who can estimate the value of training in coöperative work and organization which the Civil War gave to the American women? |
15691 | Why do women prefer social to domestic service? |
15691 | Why 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? |
15691 | Why is it that women count it an honor to work and starve for an art, but dishonor to undergo privations for their children? |
15691 | Why should women mass themselves together in vast groups as industrial workers, as teachers, as suffragettes? |
15691 | Why then did not the American Revolution pass on to full freedom and opportunity for women? |
15691 | Would a heavy tax on land force unused lands, including mines and waterways, into use? |
15691 | Would an alliance with England probably draw us into her troubles, if she has any, in Egypt or India? |
15691 | Would not married women do much to strengthen and broaden the calling? |
15691 | [ 27] What then should they do? |
354 | Are n''t you ashamed of yourself,she demanded,"to stop just because you have been laughed at once? |
354 | Are you going to pretend,he demanded,"that it was n''t a put- up job?" |
354 | But how can I promise that? |
354 | But why in Heaven''s name does any sensible Englishwoman want a lot of heathen to prostrate themselves as she goes up the street? |
354 | But why? |
354 | But,I insisted,"if you really believe in polygamy, why is it that some of your husbands have not taken more than one wife?" |
354 | Do n''t you know what a right bower is? |
354 | Do you want me to repeat my promise? |
354 | Have n''t I done any good? |
354 | Have you ever tried? |
354 | Her sermon? |
354 | Hev you got anything agin Miss Shaw? |
354 | How did you get here so soon? |
354 | How far up and down? |
354 | How many of you,I then asked,"are polygamous wives?" |
354 | Oh, did you? |
354 | Oh,he said,"why should I go? |
354 | Say, Miss Shaw,he yelled,"do n''t you want these children put out?" |
354 | Suppose your husband should refuse to allow you to preach? 354 Then may I tell him?" |
354 | Think she''s right, do you? |
354 | To New York? |
354 | Was n''t he very much surprised,demanded Miss Anthony, with growing interest,"to discover that he was not dead?" |
354 | Well,I said,"ca n''t you put your finger on that?" |
354 | What d''ye mean? |
354 | What has happened, Anna? |
354 | What must they think of me? |
354 | What''s that? |
354 | What''s the matter with you? |
354 | What? |
354 | When your aura goes visiting in the other world,she asked, curiously,"does it ever meet your old friend Charles Bradlaugh?" |
354 | Why should they mob me? |
354 | Why, did n''t you whistle before her? |
354 | Why, in that case,she said, cheerfully,"you''ll have to give us two boxes, wo n''t you?" |
354 | Will you agree to arrest the men only? |
354 | Would n''t I? |
354 | Would you like to have a son of yours go to Buffalo Bill''s Wild West Show on Sunday? |
354 | You are proud of your family, are you not? |
354 | You are proud of your great line? |
354 | You think you know me, do n''t you? |
354 | You''re not saying that merely to please me? |
354 | A 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?" |
354 | And do n''t you see how ill she is? |
354 | And he demanded, triumphantly,"How is it possible for you to be the husband of a wife?" |
354 | And she added, scornfully,"What event have you got to reckon from?" |
354 | Anthony?" |
354 | But I added:"I hear you said I have n''t done a thing in seven years that any one can lay a finger on?" |
354 | Could she not select one more person, at least, to share the secret and act with me? |
354 | Do you all believe in it?" |
354 | Do you think I want to talk to you?" |
354 | Has that been charged against any other minister here?" |
354 | How can I preach to any one?" |
354 | I asked,"Can the Ethiopian change his spots or the leopard his skin?" |
354 | I had worked my way in the Northwest; why could I not work my way in Boston? |
354 | I 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?" |
354 | In the old days, when we nominated a candidate we asked,''Can he hold the saloon vote?'' |
354 | Is it the desire of suffragists to force upon us the social equality of black and white women? |
354 | Is that it?" |
354 | Livermore''s husband''?" |
354 | Moreover, if it is unnatural, why did Jesus send a woman out as the first preacher?" |
354 | Now we ask,''Can he hold the women''s vote?'' |
354 | One day at luncheon Miss Thomas asked me, casually:"By the way, how do you raise the money to carry on your work?" |
354 | Shall I bring some books and read to you?" |
354 | She listened to his words with surprise, and then whispered to"Aunt Susan":"How CAN he say that? |
354 | So 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?" |
354 | Was there, perhaps, some lack in me and in my courage? |
354 | What had I said to give him such an impression? |
354 | What have you got there?" |
354 | What then?" |
354 | What was I doing in that rough country, he demanded, and why was I alone with him in those black woods at night? |
354 | What was he doing in the other world?" |
354 | What 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?" |
354 | What, then, were we to do? |
354 | When this announcement had produced its full effect, he straightened up in his chair and asked, solemnly,"Will ye have me?" |
354 | When will men learn that what we ask is not praise, but justice?" |
354 | Where DID you get that subject? |
354 | Who knows? |
354 | Why should we not talk all night? |
354 | Why, then, do n''t they deserve as much credit for his election as the women?" |
34455 | And all that were with him? |
34455 | But 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?" |
34455 | Do 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? |
34455 | How do you have the impudence to ride with me with your hat on? |
34455 | How durst you preach such a sermon? |
34455 | I wonder how you dare come into my house yesterday when I was abroad to offer me such an insult? |
34455 | Is it liberty? 34455 Is it not the wise man''s phrase that a gift will blind the eyes of the wise?... |
34455 | Must we and America be two distinct kingdoms, and that now immediately? |
34455 | Tell me your opinion, may not 500 Virginians beat them, we having the same advantages against them the Indians have against us? |
34455 | What can I do? |
34455 | What has there been in the conduct of the British Ministry for the last ten years to justify hope? 34455 What is this?" |
34455 | What, Governor Gooch, do you lift your hat to a slave? |
34455 | Where, some say, is the King of America? 34455 Who hinders you?" |
34455 | Why is it forced on me? 34455 Why, have not many princes lost their dominions so?" |
34455 | After all, men asked, what authority had Loudoun to give such an order? |
34455 | And 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?" |
34455 | And what injury is done them unless... the whole court combine in a barefaced villainy to defraud them?" |
34455 | Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? |
34455 | Are we sure that it will not be our turn next? |
34455 | Did this mean that the Governor and Council thereafter were to derive their powers, not from the House, but from England? |
34455 | Do not subsequent bills... convince us that the administration is determined to stick at nothing to carry its point? |
34455 | Does he think he is governing the Moors or some other slavish people? |
34455 | Does not the uniform conduct of Parliament for some years past confirm this?... |
34455 | Does your Excellency take me for your rival? |
34455 | Had they been killed by the Indians? |
34455 | Had they fallen victims to disease? |
34455 | Had they starved? |
34455 | How dare you presume to tell me my duty? |
34455 | If so, would the amended bills have to go back to England for the King''s approval? |
34455 | If the King were in Virginia, would not his orders be obeyed? |
34455 | If you let it pass, will you not be ignoring your instructions? |
34455 | In England only property owners could vote, he argued, why have a different practice in Virginia? |
34455 | Is it not easy for the Indians to sneak in between forts to fall upon us and commit their devilish murders? |
34455 | Is it not the right of all Englishmen to address their sovereign? |
34455 | Is it not your duty to reprove them?" |
34455 | Is it right that one who is Governor of the colony should side with her enemies? |
34455 | Is it security to enjoy this wealth when gotten? |
34455 | Is it wealth? |
34455 | Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? |
34455 | Is 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? |
34455 | Might he not overthrow their Assembly? |
34455 | Might he not place over them another Dale or Argall to hang men or break them on the wheel? |
34455 | Might not the new arrival be another Spotswood, or even another Nicholson? |
34455 | Might there not be fatal diseases unknown in Europe? |
34455 | Or would Prince Charles be summoned from exile and placed on the throne of his fathers? |
34455 | Or would there be anarchy? |
34455 | Shall we try argument? |
34455 | The question in everyone''s mind was, would the rest of the country follow? |
34455 | Then why not the orders of his Governor? |
34455 | Then, after a pause, he asked:"Mr. Bacon, have you forgot to be a gentleman?" |
34455 | They knew that savages lived in the dense forests which lined both banks; might not strange wild beasts live there also? |
34455 | Was King Charles still raising funds with which to run the government by means of forced loans? |
34455 | Was he still billeting his soldiers on the people? |
34455 | Was liberty to be overthrown? |
34455 | Was martial law in force? |
34455 | We have been trying that for the last ten years.... Shall we resort to entreaty and supplication? |
34455 | Were the Burgesses to have the right of amending bills? |
34455 | Were they to be subjected again to the brutality of a Dale or an Argall? |
34455 | What had happened to them? |
34455 | What have we to oppose them? |
34455 | What must the world think when these good intentions had been in part defeated by a strange kind of misconduct? |
34455 | What right has he or the Privy Council to introduce bills in this Assembly? |
34455 | What would Charles II have thought had Sir William Berkeley written him, boasting of his influence with the Speaker of the House of Burgesses? |
34455 | Who now would lead the people in their struggle to gain their rights? |
34455 | Would another Dale or Argall be sent over for a new reign of terror? |
34455 | Would he follow the example of Harvey in trying to rule like an Eastern despot? |
34455 | Would he take sides in the quarrels which had divided the colony and resume the persecution of one group or the other? |
34455 | Would he try to set himself above the law? |
34455 | Would it not be better to remain, though he be cut in a thousand pieces, than to desert his charge? |
34455 | Would the King abolish the Assembly? |
34455 | Would 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?" |
34455 | poor Virginia, dost thou send away the ministers of Christ with threatening speeches?" |
6158 | And what is that? |
6158 | But will you allow me to attend you, so that the people will not withdraw their confidence? |
6158 | Can not you give me a plain answer to this plain question-- Did it rain yesterday? |
6158 | Did it rain yesterday? |
6158 | Do you ever wonder why poets talk so much about flowers? 6158 Have I time to catch the Hudson River train?" |
6158 | Have you heard nothing to- day? |
6158 | I have promised to be there--_promised_, do you hear? 6158 Is it yesterday you mean?" |
6158 | My good friend, I do n''t know what you mean about the bog; I only asked you whether it rained yesterday? |
6158 | Of what use? |
6158 | Please your honor, I was n''t at the bog at all yesterday,--wasn''t I after setting my potatoes? |
6158 | Pray, sir,continued Smith,"do you believe in a cook?" |
6158 | True enough,was the prompt reply,"but did I not blacken them well?" |
6158 | Well,said the commissary,"do n''t you know why we have given the contract to you? |
6158 | What can be more palpably absurd and ridiculous than the prospect held out of locomotives traveling twice as fast as horses? |
6158 | What do you like, my little girl? |
6158 | What is the secret of success in business? |
6158 | What makes you work so hard? |
6158 | What now was the cause of this heart- rending event? 6158 Why do n''t you send in a bid?" |
6158 | Yes, sir; what do you want? |
6158 | ''Charley,''he cried,''what are you doing there?'' |
6158 | A 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?" |
6158 | After all, would it not appear that the true theory is that of a golden mean between these two extremes? |
6158 | An Irishman, who had neglected to thatch his cottage, was one day asked by a gentleman with whom he was conversing,"Did it rain yesterday?" |
6158 | And why should we not look for full mental development, and for the most perfect moral maturity? |
6158 | And you, little boy, with dirty hands and low forehead,"What do you like?" |
6158 | At 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?'' |
6158 | Bishop Vincent, writing about boyhood, says,"If I were a boy? |
6158 | But always, What is my duty? |
6158 | But where does he eat his lunch at noon? |
6158 | But who says there are no joys in life? |
6158 | Could anything be more beautiful or noble in public life, where jealousy, and selfishness and double- dealing appear to rule the hour? |
6158 | Did he conclude that he had made a mistake in his calling, and dabble in something else? |
6158 | Did he slink out of sight? |
6158 | Did you ever hear of a poet who did not talk about them? |
6158 | Did you ever read the fable of the magician and the mouse? |
6158 | For example: Have you a hot, passionate temper? |
6158 | He did not ask, Will this course win fame? |
6158 | Hearing a young lady highly praised for her beauty, Gotthold asked,"What kind of beauty do you mean? |
6158 | How can he answer for it to his country? |
6158 | How 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? |
6158 | I said to myself,''Lincoln, when is a thing proved?'' |
6158 | If it is not so, how can it so control them as to develop a pure and noble character? |
6158 | If what is imperfect constitutes the exception in the physical world, why should it be otherwise in the world of mind and of morals? |
6158 | Is it a thing to be preferred, to be stunted, and little, and dwarfish, in our intellectual and moral stature? |
6158 | Is not this a queer city? |
6158 | Leave a little baby to take care of itself, and how long do you suppose it would live? |
6158 | Merely that of the body, or that also of the mind? |
6158 | One of the gentlemen then said to him,"What if one of the lights should chance to go out?" |
6158 | Or do we prefer a state of childhood to that of a perfect man? |
6158 | Or was he up and at it again with a determination that knows no defeat? |
6158 | President Lincoln was asked,"How does Grant impress you as a leading general?" |
6158 | Shall I?" |
6158 | Should he be less particular in selecting his companions? |
6158 | Suppose you go out into the street and ask the first person you meet what he likes? |
6158 | The boy remembered the gentleman, and asked him,"Did n''t I shine your shoes once in the Grand Central Depot?" |
6158 | The general, without returning his salute, asked, roughly:"Have you got the powder?" |
6158 | The mere fact of his failure has interest; but how did he take his defeat? |
6158 | The question might be asked,"Why do some forms and colors please, and others displease?" |
6158 | The question to be settled by most of us is, Shall I steer or drift? |
6158 | Then 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?'' |
6158 | Then 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?'' |
6158 | There may be evidence enough, but wherein consists the proof? |
6158 | To his mind, the first, last, and closest trial question to any living creature is, What do you like? |
6158 | WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD CITIZENSHIP? |
6158 | Was he discouraged? |
6158 | Was it stress of weather, or a contrary wind, or unavoidable accident? |
6158 | Was there a man dismay''d? |
6158 | Washington broke out at first with terrible severity of speech, and then said:"Why did you come back, sir, without it?" |
6158 | What are hardships, ridicule, persecution, toil, or sickness, to a soul throbbing with an overmastering purpose? |
6158 | What constitutes proof? |
6158 | What did he do next? |
6158 | What does he do after supper? |
6158 | What other creature in the world is so helpless as the human infant? |
6158 | What then was the character of these homes? |
6158 | What would become of the world if we could not trust each other''s word? |
6158 | What would now be thought of the greatest chemist or geologist of 1776? |
6158 | What?" |
6158 | When can their glory fade? |
6158 | Where does he go when he leaves his boarding- house at night? |
6158 | Where does he spend his Sundays and holidays? |
6158 | Who 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? |
6158 | Who ever contemplates stunted growth, or any kind of visible deformity, with complacency and satisfaction? |
6158 | Who ever heard of excuses in football- playing? |
6158 | Why? |
6158 | Will this battle add to my earthly glory? |
6158 | Yankee fashion, it might be answered by the question,"Why do we like sugar and dislike wormwood?" |
6158 | You can take a pretty good measure of his character from that answer, can you not? |
6158 | You young rebel, what are you doing there? |
6158 | he asked, seeing that the youth was apparently thunderstruck,"is it you?" |
35016 | 320._ Yes; and why has this power been exercised by"all States and nations,"and"all independent sovereigns"? |
35016 | And do you think they will never get their eyes open to see what blockheads, or impostors, you and your lawmakers are? |
35016 | And why are the lawmakers dangerous to"our liberty"? |
35016 | And why do the employers of home labor advocate this robbery? |
35016 | And why has this been so? |
35016 | And why have all peoples everything to hope from the competition of free labor with free labor? |
35016 | And why have they not told us how false, absurd, and tyrannical are all these lawmaking governments? |
35016 | And why will they do so? |
35016 | And why? |
35016 | And why? |
35016 | And why? |
35016 | And why? |
35016 | Are not all these propositions so self- evident, or so easily demonstrated, that they can not, with any reason, be disputed? |
35016 | Are you prepared to answer that question? |
35016 | But how did the"civilized governments of Europe"become possessed of such"sovereignty"? |
35016 | But will the monopolists of money give up their monopoly? |
35016 | Can any one see any connection between the power of congress"to borrow money,"and its power to establish a monopoly of money? |
35016 | Can you tell me of one that is worse in principle? |
35016 | Could it ever have been necessitated to sell indulgences for crime to either debtors, or creditors, or anybody else? |
35016 | Dare you, or any other man, of common sense and common honesty, dispute the truth of that proposition? |
35016 | Did folly, falsehood, absurdity, assumption, or criminality ever reach a higher point than that? |
35016 | Did you stop to think what that means? |
35016 | Do 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"? |
35016 | Do they not make all the scientific discoveries and mechanical inventions, by which all wealth is created? |
35016 | Do 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? |
35016 | Had the people ever granted it to them? |
35016 | Have they all been mere blockheads, who never read this amendment, or knew nothing of its meaning? |
35016 | Have you anything to say for any of them? |
35016 | Have you been blind, all these years, to the existence, or the effects, of this monopoly of money? |
35016 | How much is such an argument worth? |
35016 | If there are any such, why do we so seldom, or never, hear of them? |
35016 | If there is no science of justice, how do you know that there is any such principle as justice? |
35016 | If they had possessed this knowledge, how many of them would have ever gone to the field? |
35016 | If this is not asserting the right of congress to abolish altogether men''s natural right to make their own contracts, what is it? |
35016 | If 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"? |
35016 | If, now, Marshall did not see, in this amendment, any legal force or authority, what becomes of his reputation as a constitutional lawyer? |
35016 | Is it any wonder that all men live in constant terror of such a government as that? |
35016 | Is it too much to hope for mankind, that they may sometime have courts of justice, instead of such courts of injustice as these? |
35016 | Is not this asserting that governments have all power, and the people no rights? |
35016 | Is not this equivalent to saying that governments have all power, and the people no rights? |
35016 | Is there a government on earth that rests upon a more false, absurd, or tyrannical basis than that? |
35016 | Is there any one of these men, who studies justice as a science, and regards that alone in all his professional exertions? |
35016 | Or have they, too, been perjured tyrants and traitors? |
35016 | Or how do you know what is, and what is not, justice? |
35016 | Or that absolute and irresponsible lawmaking has usurped their place? |
35016 | Thus he says: What is this power? |
35016 | To 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? |
35016 | Was a more absolute, irresponsible government than that ever invented? |
35016 | Was a more shameless avowal ever made? |
35016 | Was a more thorough scheme of national villainy ever invented? |
35016 | Well, suppose, for the sake of the argument, that they have not known what"the obligation of contracts"was, what, then, was their duty? |
35016 | What are these"political parties"but standing armies of robbers, each trying to rob the other, and to prevent being itself robbed by the other? |
35016 | What, then, is a"sovereign"government? |
35016 | What, then, is the remedy? |
35016 | What, then, is to be done? |
35016 | What, then, were these"other rights,"that had not been"enumerated"; but which were nevertheless"retained by the people"? |
35016 | Who appointed him to that trust? |
35016 | Who are ever taxed without their consent? |
35016 | Who are ever taxed? |
35016 | Who can give their consent to be taxed? |
35016 | Who have property that can be taxed? |
35016 | Who, then, are robbed, if taxed without their consent? |
35016 | Why are so many of them so ambitious to become lawmakers and judges themselves? |
35016 | Why have they not told us what impostors and tyrants all these so- called lawmakers, judges, etc., etc., are? |
35016 | Why have they not told us, hundreds of years ago, what are men''s natural rights of person and property? |
35016 | Why, then, is it, that they strike down this right, without ceremony, and without compunction, whenever they are commanded to do so by the lawmakers? |
35016 | Will you dispute the truth of that proposition? |
35016 | Will you dispute the truth of that proposition? |
35016 | Will you dispute the truth of that proposition? |
35016 | Will you dispute the truth of that proposition? |
35016 | Will you dispute the truth of that proposition? |
35016 | Will you dispute the truth of that proposition? |
2053 | Am I my brother''s keeper? |
2053 | Are the States that seceded States in the Union, with no other disability than that of having no legal governments? |
2053 | Are they a national people, really existing outside and independently of their organization into distinct and mutually independent States? |
2053 | Are they the people of the States severally? |
2053 | But in what sense is it true? |
2053 | But what is to be done with the rights of minorities? |
2053 | But where find a nation in this the primitive sense of the word? |
2053 | But who are the people constituting the nation? |
2053 | But who are the people? |
2053 | But who or what determines the country? |
2053 | By majorities? |
2053 | By what right? |
2053 | By what right? |
2053 | By what right? |
2053 | Can a man divest himself of his nature, or lift himself above it? |
2053 | Can my consent, under such circumstances, even if given, be any thing but a forced consent, a consent given under duress, and therefore invalid? |
2053 | Did the sovereignty, which before independence was in Great Britain, pass from Great Britain to the States severally, or to the States united? |
2053 | Do they say reason is natural, and the law of nature is only reason? |
2053 | Extend the power of the government over them? |
2053 | Has it done it without asserting the General government as the supreme, central, or national government? |
2053 | Has it done it without striking a dangerous blow at the federal element of the constitution? |
2053 | Has not one danger been removed only to give place to another? |
2053 | Have they, as yet, solved that problem? |
2053 | How are they constituted, or what the mode and conditions of their political existence? |
2053 | How, from the right of the father to govern his own child, born from his loins, conclude his right to govern one not his child? |
2053 | How, in settling the terms of the compact, will you proceed? |
2053 | If mediately, what is the medium? |
2053 | If partly in the people and partly in the General government, is the part in the General government in Congress, or in the Executive? |
2053 | In suppressing by armed force the doctrine that the States are severally sovereign, what barrier is left against consolidation? |
2053 | In which of these senses is the word to be taken when it is said,"The people are sovereign?" |
2053 | Is it defined and its boundaries fixed? |
2053 | Is it true in a supernatural sense? |
2053 | Is the country the whole territory of the globe? |
2053 | Is the power to reconstruct in the States themselves? |
2053 | Is the remedy in written or paper constitutions? |
2053 | Is the rule of unanimity to be insisted on in the convention and in the government, when it goes into operation? |
2053 | Is the territory indefinite or undefined? |
2053 | Is their reconstruction their erection into new States, or their restoration as States previously in the Union? |
2053 | Is this negro, more like an ape or a baboon than a human being, of the same race with myself? |
2053 | It might have passed to them severally, but did it? |
2053 | Leave them without government? |
2053 | Mediately or immediately? |
2053 | Nay, is he my brother? |
2053 | Shall their identity be revived and preserved, or shall they be new States, regardless of that identity? |
2053 | The freeman asks, why? |
2053 | The government? |
2053 | The great problem of our statesmen has been from the first, How to assert union without consolidation, and State rights without disintegration? |
2053 | The ruler, king, prince, or emperor, holds from God through the people, but how do the people themselves hold from God? |
2053 | The sovereign people? |
2053 | The war has silenced the State sovereignty doctrine, indeed, but has it done so without lesion to State rights? |
2053 | Then, again, the question comes up, who or what determines the territory? |
2053 | Unanimously, or only by a majority? |
2053 | Was Rousseau right in asserting civilization as a fall, as a deterioration of the race? |
2053 | Was the war which followed secession, and which cost so many lives and so much treasure, a civil war or a foreign war? |
2053 | Were the people of the United States who ordained and established the written constitution one people, or were they not? |
2053 | Were these States a part of the American nation, or were they not? |
2053 | What gives to the majority the right to govern the minority who dissent from its action? |
2053 | What is the origin and ground of sovereignty? |
2053 | What is to be done with them? |
2053 | What is to guard against this centralism? |
2053 | What other title to independence and sovereignty, than the fact, can you plead in behalf of any European nation? |
2053 | What people? |
2053 | What right have you to ride in your coach or astride your spirited barb while I am forced to trudge on foot? |
2053 | What then do the people of the several States that seceded lose by secession? |
2053 | What then is the fact? |
2053 | What, then, hinders the State once in the Union from going out or returning to its former condition of territory subject to the Union? |
2053 | When, then, and by what means did they or could they become severally sovereign States? |
2053 | Whence did Rome become a landholder, and the governing people a territorial people? |
2053 | Whence does any nation become a territorial nation and lord of the domain? |
2053 | Whence does government derive its right to govern? |
2053 | Whence does it get its jurisdiction of navigable rivers, lakes, bays, and the seaboard within its territorial limits, as appertaining to its domain? |
2053 | Whence does one- fourth of the population get its right to govern the other three- fourths? |
2053 | Whence its title to vacant or unoccupied lands? |
2053 | Whence, then, comes the sovereign right to govern? |
2053 | Whence, then, does government derive its territorial jurisdiction, and its right of eminent domain claimed by all national governments? |
2053 | Who are the collective people that have the rights of society, or, who are the sovereign people? |
2053 | Who are this people? |
2053 | Who has done it? |
2053 | Why ask me to free him? |
2053 | Will you substitute the rule of the majority, and say the majority must govern? |
2053 | Without government, and destitute alike of habits of obedience and habits of command, how can they initiate, establish, and sustain government? |
2053 | Would the government employ military force to coerce them back to their allegiance? |
2053 | or South Carolina, the land of Rutledge, Moultrie, Laurens, Hayne, Sumter, and Marion? |
2053 | or are they Territories subject to the Union? |
2053 | or is it in the General government? |
815 | How comes it, then, that at the polling- booth this morning I did not perceive a single negro in the whole meeting? |
815 | How 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? |
815 | Am I then, in contradiction with myself? |
815 | And can you live nowhere but under your own sun? |
815 | And if complete equality be our fate, is it not better to be levelled by free institutions than by despotic power? |
815 | Are there no woods, marshes, or prairies, except where you dwell? |
815 | Are we to be guided by what occurs in New England or in Georgia, in Pennsylvania or in the State of Illinois? |
815 | At what time have we made the forfeit? |
815 | Besides, what could they see but a hideous and desolate wilderness, full of wilde beasts, and wilde men? |
815 | 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? |
815 | But if the whites and the negroes do not intermingle in the North of the Union, how should they mix in the South? |
815 | But what now remains of those barriers which formerly arrested the aggressions of tyranny? |
815 | 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? |
815 | Does not this sufficiently show how entirely all human power and greatness is in the soul of man? |
815 | From what cause, then, does so startling a difference arise? |
815 | Has such been the fate of the centuries which have preceded our own? |
815 | How can a populace, unaccustomed to freedom in small concerns, learn to use it temperately in great affairs? |
815 | How comes it, then, that the American republics prosper and maintain their position? |
815 | How is it possible that society should escape destruction if the moral tie be not strengthened in proportion as the political tie is relaxed? |
815 | I do not know whether all the Americans have a sincere faith in their religion, for who can search the human heart? |
815 | I have spoken of the emigration from the older States, but how shall I describe that which takes place from the more recent ones? |
815 | 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? |
815 | If so, why was not this forfeiture declared in the first treaty of peace between the United States and our beloved men? |
815 | In what part of human tradition can be found anything at all similar to that which is occurring under our eyes in North America? |
815 | In what respect is the country you inhabit better than another? |
815 | Is it credible that the democracy which has annihilated the feudal system and vanquished kings will respect the citizen and the capitalist? |
815 | Is it, then, wonderful that he does not resist such repeated impulses? |
815 | Ought such a jury, which represents society, to have more power than the society in which the laws it applies originate? |
815 | Permit us to ask what better right can the people have to a country than the right of inheritance and immemorial peaceable possession? |
815 | Recourse must be had to some other cause; and what other cause can there be except the manners of the people? |
815 | Shall we, who are remnants, share the same fate?" |
815 | They pay the taxes; is it not fair that they should have a vote?" |
815 | Was it when we were hostile to the United States, and took part with the King of Great Britain, during the struggle for independence? |
815 | What are they to do? |
815 | What great crime have we committed, whereby we must forever be divested of our country and rights? |
815 | What influence could they possess over such men as we have described? |
815 | What resistance can be offered by manners of so pliant a make that they have already often yielded? |
815 | 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? |
815 | 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? |
815 | What urges them to take possession of it so soon? |
815 | When an individual or a party is wronged in the United States, to whom can he apply for redress? |
815 | Whence, then, do their characteristic differences arise? |
815 | Where are we then? |
815 | Who can assure them that they will at length be allowed to dwell in peace in their new retreat? |
815 | Who would not suppose that this poor hut is the asylum of rudeness and ignorance? |
815 | Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? |
815 | Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? |
815 | Why, in the Eastern States of the Union, does the republican government display vigor and regularity, and proceed with mature deliberation? |
815 | Will it stop now that it has grown so strong and its adversaries so weak? |
815 | 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? |
815 | and what can be done with a people which is its own master, if it be not submissive to the Divinity? |
815 | and what would become of its immortality, in the midst of perpetual decay? |
815 | or was it necessary to create federal courts? |
815 | then the blacks possess the right of voting in this county?" |
815 | then the majority claims the right not only of making the laws, but of breaking the laws it has made?"] |
815 | where would that respect which belongs to it be paid, amidst the struggles of faction? |
925 | And if not now, when? |
925 | 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? |
925 | And what has been the effect? |
925 | And what object or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the human mind? |
925 | And, after all, why should n''t we believe that? |
925 | Are their rights alone not to be guaranteed by the application of those great principles upon which all our constitutions are founded? |
925 | Are there, indeed, citizens of any of our States who have dreamed of their subjects in the District of Columbia? |
925 | Are we enthralled with material things, less appreciative of the nobility of work and sacrifice? |
925 | Are we nearing the light-- a day of freedom and of peace for all mankind? |
925 | But are we not made better for the effort and sacrifice, and are not those we serve lifted up and blessed? |
925 | But have we changed as a nation even in our time? |
925 | But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? |
925 | But who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may operate effectively? |
925 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
925 | Can anything essential, anything more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds? |
925 | Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? |
925 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
925 | 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? |
925 | Can we solve the problems confronting us? |
925 | Do my countrymen need any assurance that such a catastrophe is not to overtake them while I possess the power to stay it? |
925 | Does he expect to find among the ruins of this Union a happier abode for our swarming millions than they now have under it? |
925 | Has the sword of despots proved to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in government than enlightened reason? |
925 | Have we found our happy valley? |
925 | How did we accomplish the Revolution? |
925 | How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists cherish or tolerate the incapacities it put upon their communities? |
925 | How sustain and pass with glory through the late war? |
925 | I have asked the Cabinet and my staff a question, and now I put the same question to all of you: If not us, who? |
925 | In explaining my sentiments on this subject it may be asked, What raised us to the present happy state? |
925 | In our own lives, let each of us ask-- not just what will government do for me, but what can I do for myself? |
925 | In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right? |
925 | In the challenges we face together, let each of us ask-- not just how can government help, but how can I help? |
925 | Is a new world coming? |
925 | Is it not possible for us now to make a truce with time by anticipating and accepting its inevitable verdict? |
925 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? |
925 | Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied? |
925 | Is our world gone? |
925 | Is there any better or equal hope in the world? |
925 | Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only and prevent renewed secession? |
925 | Let us ask again: Have we reached the goal of our vision of that fourth day of March 1933? |
925 | May Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories? |
925 | May we not cherish this sentiment without presumption when we reflect on the characters by which this war is distinguished? |
925 | Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories? |
925 | On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union? |
925 | One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak-- but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it? |
925 | Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us? |
925 | Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? |
925 | Or that we stopped to ask if a sick child had gotten better, and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship? |
925 | Or, shall we continue on our way? |
925 | Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority? |
925 | Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery continue to hang upon the skirts of progress? |
925 | Shall we call this the promised land? |
925 | Shall we pause now and turn our back upon the road that lies ahead? |
925 | That we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us? |
925 | The central question before us is: How shall we use that peace? |
925 | Timidity asks,"How difficult is the road ahead?" |
925 | To how many thousands of our countrymen has it proved a benefit? |
925 | To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak? |
925 | To what single individual has it ever proved an injury? |
925 | We 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? |
925 | What are the dangers which menace us? |
925 | What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this? |
925 | What do we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there? |
925 | What does the change mean? |
925 | What has been the progress since that time? |
925 | What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love? |
925 | Who dares fail to try? |
925 | Who has been deprived of any right of person or property? |
925 | Who restrained from offering his vows in the mode which he prefers to the Divine Author of his being? |
925 | Who shall assign limits to the achievements of free minds and free hands under the protection of this glorious Union? |
925 | Who shall live up to the great trust? |
925 | Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? |
925 | Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation? |
925 | Will their successors falter and plead organic impotency in the nation? |
925 | Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence? |
925 | Will you join in that historic effort? |
925 | Will 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? |
925 | With which should we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly intercourse? |
925 | Without it what are we individually or collectively? |
7300 | Do you refer to polygamy? |
7300 | Now, was ever a cause fought for under conditions more conducive to success? 7300 What is the pleasure of the convention?" |
7300 | A question constantly and properly asked is:"How does woman suffrage work where it is exercised?" |
7300 | And the Czar, and the erratic German Emperor, are they in the evolutionary agreement? |
7300 | As to the other British colonies, what is the situation? |
7300 | At the time of the passing of Mrs. Stanton''s resolutions she said:"But what is marriage? |
7300 | But a question of real interest is, must the political demand made by women be counted as the chief influence in modifying the laws? |
7300 | But has any Suffrage speaker or meeting denounced them, or deprecated the result of the election? |
7300 | But whom do the women propose to substitute? |
7300 | But, suppose all those mentioned were really exempt, how would that apply to women? |
7300 | Can women marry a ballot, or embrace the franchise, otherwise than by a questionable figure of speech? |
7300 | Could union be more completely pictured? |
7300 | Did they do anything of the kind? |
7300 | Did they mean that their property was taxed, and they had no redress? |
7300 | Do I mean by this that every working- woman in the country sees her own value so clearly that she demands enfranchisement? |
7300 | Does 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? |
7300 | Does she mean to say that the lawmakers have asked the women if they would consent to remain unfranchised? |
7300 | For, after all, what is government, and what are taxation and representation? |
7300 | Has England consented to it? |
7300 | Has 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? |
7300 | Hear you, or not? |
7300 | How came there to be"general improvement in our institutions?" |
7300 | How 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? |
7300 | How could men, admitting these words to be divine revelation, ever have preached the subjection of woman? |
7300 | How far was its introduction into these States the result of advanced legislation in accord with true republicanism? |
7300 | How have these bodies answered this long appeal? |
7300 | How long is it since this comfortable state of things was evolved? |
7300 | IS WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEMOCRATIC? |
7300 | IS WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEMOCRATIC? |
7300 | If it was his selfishness that procured woman civil rights and privileges, was it his unselfishness that formerly denied them? |
7300 | If man wanted clinching arguments to prove his superiority, could he find another to match this one which suffrage has furnished him? |
7300 | If women cease to"weep and wail,"will men not cease to be willing to be"furnished by them to the army?" |
7300 | In speaking of the proprieties of life, Paul said:"Does not nature herself teach you?" |
7300 | In the"History"they say:"It is often asked if political equality-- would not arouse antagonism between the sexes? |
7300 | In which have women made most progress, and showed themselves most likely to understand their rights, privileges and duties? |
7300 | Is it likely, then, that he was taking steps in the direction of the destruction of his own home? |
7300 | Is it the"appropriate legislation"that gives to Congress, or to any other body, the power to enforce the article decided upon by a majority? |
7300 | Is there a ruder mind anywhere than one that could not only think but write a sentiment so revolting and so false? |
7300 | Is this the Individualism of Democracy? |
7300 | It has been asked"If it would be best for man to make over half his sovereignty to woman?" |
7300 | It will show the drift of her work in one direction:"''Is my errand sped, and am I a master on earth?'' |
7300 | Modern 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?" |
7300 | Must adultery and infanticide necessarily be favored by the decisions of female jurors? |
7300 | Of course it can be said at once:"Why, multitudes of men never hold office, why should women?" |
7300 | Or speak I to the deaf?" |
7300 | Other women? |
7300 | Senator Hayes asked him if there was no"difference between a person who was disfranchised and one who never had been enfranchised?" |
7300 | She records that"at length President Davies stepped to the front and said in a tremulous, mocking tone,""What will the lady have?" |
7300 | So the question comes, could American women be soldiers? |
7300 | The 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? |
7300 | Then, as the historical fact is reversed in our day, and the man is now of the woman, shall his place be one of subjection? |
7300 | Think you, women thus educated would long remain the weak, dependent beings we now find them? |
7300 | To do this would raise the character of man.... Why may not housewifery be reduced to a system as well as the other arts? |
7300 | Utah and New York, Wyoming and Massachusetts, which States do Americans hold up as nearest their model? |
7300 | We control the State.... What am I going to do with my children while I am making the laws for the State? |
7300 | What bearing do these facts have upon my claim that woman suffrage is undemocratic? |
7300 | What did that just accusation mean when our fathers uttered it in regard to English tyranny? |
7300 | What has your chivalry done for the weaker sex? |
7300 | What is its record? |
7300 | What is the verdict? |
7300 | What was the Woman- Suffrage Association doing? |
7300 | When and how did society consent to be governed? |
7300 | When did it agree to be taxed and to be represented? |
7300 | Which State can claim that its action rings truest to the stroke of honest metal in finance and in defence of national honor? |
7300 | Who has shorn man of all his portentous rights? |
7300 | Who were trained by women at the fountain sources and household shrines? |
7300 | Who would enforce it? |
7300 | Who would establish the"special plea"for so large a proportion of the voting population? |
7300 | Why do they not try this way of settling their difficulties? |
7300 | Why 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? |
7300 | Why, 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? |
7300 | Will any one contend that in the past the married woman has been held in less honor than the unmarried? |
7300 | Would any Suffragist hold that a clergyman was the inferior of men who do sit in the House of Commons? |
7300 | Would the majority of men submit to the minority of men associated with non- combatants? |
7300 | Would the women be any better off, if the men chose that they should not exercise the vote? |
8690 | How comes it then, that at the polling- booth this morning I did not perceive a single negro in the whole meeting? |
8690 | What, then, the blacks possess the right of voting in this country? |
8690 | What, then, the majority claims the right not only of making the laws, but of breaking the laws it has made? |
8690 | Why 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? |
4938 | Does he expect to find among the ruins of this Union a happier abode for our swarming millions than they now have under it? |
4938 | Has the sword of despots proved to be a safer or surer instrument of reform in government than enlightened reason? |
4938 | Have we found our happy valley? |
4938 | How did we accomplish the Revolution? |
4938 | How long will those who rejoice that slavery no longer exists cherish or tolerate the incapacities it put upon their communities? |
4938 | How sustain and pass with glory through the late war? |
4938 | I have asked the Cabinet and my staff a question, and now I put the same question to all of you: If not us, who? |
4938 | In explaining my sentiments on this subject it may be asked, What raised us to the present happy state? |
4938 | In our own lives, let each of us ask-- not just what will government do for me, but what can I do for myself? |
4938 | In our present differences, is either party without faith of being in the right? |
4938 | In the challenges we face together, let each of us ask-- not just how can government help, but how can I help? |
4938 | Is a new world coming? |
4938 | Is it not possible for us now to make a truce with time by anticipating and accepting its inevitable verdict? |
4938 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? |
4938 | Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied? |
4938 | Is our world gone? |
4938 | Is there any better or equal hope in the world? |
4938 | Is there such perfect identity of interests among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only and prevent renewed secession? |
4938 | Let us ask again: Have we reached the goal of our vision of that fourth day of March 1933? |
4938 | May Congress prohibit slavery in the Territories? |
4938 | May we not cherish this sentiment without presumption when we reflect on the characters by which this war is distinguished? |
4938 | Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories? |
4938 | On whom has oppression fallen in any quarter of our Union? |
4938 | One party to a contract may violate it-- break it, so to speak-- but does it not require all to lawfully rescind it? |
4938 | Or are the shadows of another night closing in upon us? |
4938 | Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? |
4938 | Or that we stopped to ask if a sick child had gotten better, and stayed a moment there to trade a word of friendship? |
4938 | Or, shall we continue on our way? |
4938 | Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by national or by State authority? |
4938 | Shall the prejudices and paralysis of slavery continue to hang upon the skirts of progress? |
4938 | Shall we call this the promised land? |
4938 | Shall we pause now and turn our back upon the road that lies ahead? |
4938 | That we were more driven to succeed than anyone around us? |
4938 | The central question before us is: How shall we use that peace? |
4938 | The challenge of our past remains the challenge of our future-- will we be one nation, one people, with one common destiny, or not? |
4938 | Timidity asks,"How difficult is the road ahead?" |
4938 | To how many thousands of our countrymen has it proved a benefit? |
4938 | To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak? |
4938 | To what single individual has it ever proved an injury? |
4938 | We 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? |
4938 | What are the dangers which menace us? |
4938 | What can be more gratifying than such a retrospect as this? |
4938 | What do we want the men and women who work with us to say when we are no longer there? |
4938 | What does the change mean? |
4938 | What has been the progress since that time? |
4938 | What other form of government, indeed, can so well deserve our esteem and love? |
4938 | Who dares fail to try? |
4938 | Who has been deprived of any right of person or property? |
4938 | Who restrained from offering his vows in the mode which he prefers to the Divine Author of his being? |
4938 | Who shall assign limits to the achievements of free minds and free hands under the protection of this glorious Union? |
4938 | Who shall live up to the great trust? |
4938 | Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? |
4938 | Why, then, should we think that collectively, as a nation, we are not bound by that same limitation? |
4938 | Will their successors falter and plead organic impotency in the nation? |
4938 | Will we all come together, or come apart? |
4938 | Will you hazard so desperate a step while there is any possibility that any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence? |
4938 | Will you join in that historic effort? |
4938 | Will 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? |
4938 | With which should we be most likely to live in harmony and friendly intercourse? |
4938 | Without it what are we individually or collectively? |
11982 | Again, 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?" |
11982 | As we have no conventions,said he,"on hand, what do you say to a ride on horseback this morning?" |
11982 | Before 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?'' |
11982 | Did Miss---- ask you to do so? |
11982 | Did you know that Miss---- had copied that from the book of another young lady? |
11982 | Do 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? |
11982 | Doctor,said I,"which do you like best, boys or girls?" |
11982 | Have you any more thoughts to publish on that bread powder? |
11982 | How does thee do Elizabeth? |
11982 | How is my trunk going? |
11982 | In retrospective vision bright, Can you recall dear Martha Wright Without her work or knitting? 11982 Is Marriage a Failure?" |
11982 | Ladies,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? |
11982 | Oh,I replied,"is that all? |
11982 | Say you,''These are but the opinions of men''? 11982 Suppose I had not found this out, did you intend to keep silent?" |
11982 | Then why did you not read your own? |
11982 | Well, 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? |
11982 | Well,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? |
11982 | Well,said I,"where have you gentlemen been?" |
11982 | What can I do? |
11982 | What do you propose to do? |
11982 | What next? |
11982 | What, pray,said I,"does he know about stoves, sitting in his easy- chair in Washington? |
11982 | Who,said he,"runs this concern?" |
11982 | Why did you not defend yourself on the spot? |
11982 | Why have you allowed yourself to remain in such a false position for a whole week? |
11982 | Why, do n''t you see those boys? |
11982 | Yes, but I would rather have you stay,I replied,"for what can I do when you are gone?" |
11982 | A voice from the corner asked,"Is your bed comfortable?" |
11982 | Are not these delicate matters left wholly to the discretion of courts? |
11982 | Are not women, as a factor in civilization, of more importance than Indians? |
11982 | Are not young women from the first families dragged into our courts,--into assemblies of men exclusively,--the judges all men, the jurors all men? |
11982 | As 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? |
11982 | But how ended that rebellion of weak colonists? |
11982 | But what is the use, say some, of attaching any importance to the customs and teachings of a barbarous people? |
11982 | Can you give me one good reason, nurse, why a child should be bandaged?" |
11982 | Charlotte, what have you been doing?'' |
11982 | Do you not agree with me that a"bread- winner"can be a conscientious reformer? |
11982 | From Coke down to Kent, who can cite one clause of the marriage contract where woman has the advantage? |
11982 | Had I taken the veil in my old age? |
11982 | How can a man know what implements are necessary for the work he never does? |
11982 | How can we discuss all the laws and conditions of marriage, without perceiving its essential essence, end, and aim? |
11982 | How can we get it without involving the arm, is the question?" |
11982 | I exclaimed;"what will you say when he meets you again?" |
11982 | I had just congratulated myself on my power of adaptability to circumstances, when I suddenly started with an emphatic"What is that?" |
11982 | I ran with the rest and exclaimed,"What is it?" |
11982 | I remarked to her, one day,''Are you sure your men vote as they promise?'' |
11982 | I said,"what do you mean?" |
11982 | I was scarcely seated when he said:"Mother, do you know anything about babies?" |
11982 | If the leaders in the Republican and abolition camps could deceive us, whom could we trust? |
11982 | In asking for a voice in the government under which we live, have we been pursuing a shadow for fifty years? |
11982 | In seeking political power, are we abdicating that social throne where they tell us our influence is unbounded? |
11982 | In talking with him on that point, he said:"I suppose your nursing mothers drink beer?" |
11982 | Indeed 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? |
11982 | Is there not something very touching in the fact that she never bought a book or picture for her own enjoyment? |
11982 | It may be, however, that I helped them to get ready; who knows? |
11982 | More than that, as I said before, if there is any tribunal that could give undivided time and dignified attention, is it not this committee? |
11982 | My theme was,"What has Christianity done for Woman?" |
11982 | My wife has presented me with eight beautiful children; is not this a better life- work than that of exercising the right of suffrage?" |
11982 | Now I think this child will remain intact without a bandage, and, if I am willing to take the risk, why should you complain?" |
11982 | On what else, I ask, are the hundreds of women depending, who, this hour, demand in our courts a release from burdensome contracts? |
11982 | Or, like high- church Anglicans and Roman Catholics, had I made this my retreat? |
11982 | Recovering myself, I said,"Is it possible, Mrs. Seward, that you agree with me? |
11982 | She said,"Where is yours that you wrote for that day?" |
11982 | She then asked,"Did you copy it from her book?" |
11982 | Should they ride on Sunday? |
11982 | Should women ride? |
11982 | Sitting 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?" |
11982 | Stove pipe in hand he turned to me with a look of surprise, and said:"Do they ever come without spines?" |
11982 | Suppose a child was born where you could not get a bandage, what then? |
11982 | The needles flying in her hands, On washing rags or baby''s bands, Or other work as fitting? |
11982 | Then why, when I was so hard pressed by foes on every side, did you not come to the defense? |
11982 | Wandering through a gorgeous palace one day, she exclaimed,"What do you find to admire here? |
11982 | Was it not an historic scene which was enacted there in that little courthouse in Canandaigua? |
11982 | We naturally asked the question, As Congress has a special committee on the rights of Indians, why not on those of women? |
11982 | We never had experienced anything like this journey, and how could we help being surprised and delighted? |
11982 | Weary of the trials and tribulations of this world, had I gone there to prepare in solitude for the next? |
11982 | What are"God''s intentions"concerning them? |
11982 | What could I do? |
11982 | What could I say to an audience of lunatics?" |
11982 | What do you think ails it?" |

11982 | Who can describe the varied audiences and social circles she has cheered and interested? |
11982 | Who can sum up all the ills the women of a nation suffer from war? |
11982 | Why not change the system and try the education of the moral and intellectual faculties, cheerful surroundings, inspiring influences? |
11982 | Will you get tickets to- day for me, the nurse, and children?" |
11982 | Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor? |
2810 | Can you fix me up? |
2810 | How did you know that O''Brien had got out? |
2810 | What''s the use of discussin''what''s the best kind of money? |
2810 | A philanthropist? |
2810 | Ai n''t I a fine feller?" |
2810 | Ai n''t it great? |
2810 | Ai n''t it perfectly honest to charge a good price and make a profit on my investment and foresight? |
2810 | And what can they do? |
2810 | And why should they? |
2810 | And why? |
2810 | And, by the way, come to think of it, is there really any upstate Democrats left? |
2810 | And, by the way, what''s become of the good government clubs, the political nurseries of a few years ago? |
2810 | Anything dishonest in that? |
2810 | But if there is any real Democrats up the State, what becomes of them on election day? |
2810 | But it did n''t happen, did it? |
2810 | But, after all, what difference would it make? |
2810 | By cuttin''down the expenses of the State Government? |
2810 | Ca n''t you guess what I did then? |
2810 | Could a search party find R. W. G. Welling? |
2810 | Could anything be clearer than that? |
2810 | Did I get up a hook on municipal government and show it to the leader? |
2810 | Did I offer my services to the district leader as a stump- speaker? |
2810 | Did you ever consider that? |
2810 | Did you ever go up to Albany from this city with a delegation that wanted anything from the Legislature? |
2810 | Did you ever see Tammany Hall decorated for a celebration? |
2810 | Do I forget them? |
2810 | Do you ever hear of Cornell, the iron man, in politics now? |
2810 | Do you ever hear of Good Government Club D and P and Q and Z any more? |
2810 | Do you remember the reformers that got up that league? |
2810 | Do you think the people cared for all that guff? |
2810 | Do 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? |
2810 | Have you any idea what that means? |
2810 | Have you ever heard of them since? |
2810 | Have you seen the name of Fulton McMahon or McMahon Fulton-- I ai n''t sure which-- in the papers lately? |
2810 | He came after me and said:"George, what do you want? |
2810 | He laughed wild again and said:"Liberty? |
2810 | How are we goin''to provide for the thousands of men who worked for the Tammany ticket? |
2810 | How 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? |
2810 | How are you goin''to keep up patriotism if this thing goes On? |
2810 | How did he do it? |
2810 | How many of them travel on their tongues? |
2810 | How many years were you at college? |
2810 | How much do you want us to take off?" |
2810 | How was that? |
2810 | How, then, can you expect what they call"business men"to turn into politics all at once and make a success of it? |
2810 | How? |
2810 | I know that the civil service humbug is stuck into the constitution, too, but, as Tim Campbell said:"What''s the constitution among friends?" |
2810 | I said to myself:"George, has n''t your chance come?" |
2810 | I went to each of the men and said:"How many of these 250,000 stories do you want?" |
2810 | I 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?" |
2810 | If 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? |
2810 | If 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? |
2810 | If it is n''t a fake, then why is n''t the people''s voice obeyed and Tammany men put in all the offices? |
2810 | If opportunities for turnin''an honest dollar comes their''way, why should n''t they take advantage of them, just as I have done? |
2810 | If 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? |
2810 | Is it all a fake that this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people? |
2810 | Is 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? |
2810 | Is it any wonder that scandals do not permanently disable Tammany and that it speedily recovers from what seems to be crushing defeat? |
2810 | Is n''t it right that they should get a share of the campaign money? |
2810 | Is there any part of the Greek language you do n''t know? |
2810 | Is there anything the matter with temperance as a pure business proposition? |
2810 | John Kelly, Richard Croker, and Charles F. Murphy-- what names in American history compares with them, except Washington and Lincoln? |
2810 | Look at all the Tammany heads of city departments? |
2810 | No? |
2810 | Now, how did he come to be lying dead with a Spanish uniform on? |
2810 | Now, what is goin''to happen when civil service crushes out patriotism? |
2810 | Of course, it all cost a pretty penny, but what of that? |
2810 | Once a farmer in Orange County asked him:"How did you do it, Ben?" |
2810 | Or Preble Tucker? |
2810 | Or Richard Croker, or John Kelly, or any other man who has been a real power in the organization? |
2810 | Ought these good people be subjected to the immoral influence of money taken from the saloon tainted money? |
2810 | Say, ai n''t some of the papers awful gullible about politics? |
2810 | Say, honest now; can you answer that argument? |
2810 | Say, that sentence is fine, ai n''t it? |
2810 | See the application? |
2810 | See the distinction? |
2810 | Some 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?" |
2810 | Somehow, I always guessed about right, and should n''t I enjoy the profit of my foresight? |
2810 | Suppose the city had to depend for the last twenty years on irresponsible concerns like the Citizens''Union, where would it be now? |
2810 | Supposin''Tammany turned over the campaigns to the Hill men and then held off, what would happen? |
2810 | That was beginnin''business in a small way, was n''t it? |
2810 | The end came when I caught him-- what do you think I caught him at? |
2810 | The 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? |
2810 | The question has been asked: Is a politician ever justified in going''back on his district leader? |
2810 | Then the auctioneer yelled:"How much am I bid for these 250,000 fine pavin''stones?" |
2810 | There 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''? |
2810 | They did come down here, and what do you think they hit on? |
2810 | They 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? |
2810 | They say:"What''s the use of workin''for your country anyhow? |
2810 | Was I done? |
2810 | Was n''t that outrageous? |
2810 | Was n''t that shameful? |
2810 | What I want to know is, what do you call it when I got left and lost a pot of money? |

2810 | Would n''t he make a mess of it? |
2810 | Would n''t you like to have a job or two in the departments for your friends?" |
2810 | Would n''t you? |
2810 | You do n''t hear of the Citizens''Union people holdin''Fourth- of- July celebrations under a five- pound silk hat, or any other way, do you? |
2810 | You never heard of Charlie Murphy delivering a speech, did you? |

14811 | Are we children, are we wards, are we still such puerile infants that we have to be fed out of a bottle? |
14811 | Are we going to settle the currency question so long as the government listens only to the counsel of those who command the banking situation? |
14811 | Are you going to invite those inside to stay inside? |
14811 | Are you going to own your own premises, or are you not? |
14811 | Are you not eager for the time when the genius and initiative of all the people shall be called into the service of business? |
14811 | Back of the question, What do you want, lies the question,--the fundamental question of all government,--How are you going to get it? |
14811 | Benevolence, or Justice? |
14811 | But what has made us strong? |
14811 | But what is progress going to do with the past, and with the present? |
14811 | But who gets the tariff tax in this case? |
14811 | Can anybody bring them to account? |
14811 | Can the tariff question be decided in favor of the people, so long as the monopolies are the chief counselors at Washington? |
14811 | Did you ever look into the way a trust was made? |
14811 | Did you ever reflect that that word is almost a new one? |
14811 | Do 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? |
14811 | Do n''t you know that this country from one end to the other believes that something is wrong? |
14811 | Do n''t you realize that that is a blind alley? |
14811 | Do n''t you see by that theory that a man never can get redress for negligence on the part of the employer? |
14811 | Do n''t you see that they must capture the government, in order not to be restrained too much by it? |
14811 | Do our masters of industry speak in the spirit and interest even of those whom they employ? |
14811 | Do they even attempt to distinguish between a man''s act as a corporation director and as an individual? |
14811 | Do we dare stand still? |
14811 | Do you find that in their writings? |
14811 | Do you know, have you had occasion to learn, that there is no hospitality for invention nowadays? |
14811 | Does any man doubt that there are grounds and justifications for discontent? |
14811 | Does any man doubt the great discontent in this country? |
14811 | Does anybody now doubt that it was just as much for the benefit of the Public Service Corporation as for the people of the State? |
14811 | Does that mean that this town is socialistic?" |
14811 | Does that upset any ancient foundations? |
14811 | Does the direct election of Senators touch anything except the private control of seats in the Senate? |
14811 | Does the public deal with that president and that board of directors? |
14811 | For has not every ship that has pointed her prow westward borne hither the hopes of generation after generation of the oppressed of other lands? |
14811 | Had he not felt like a neighbor? |
14811 | Had men not consulted him? |
14811 | Had there been no little circles in which public affairs were discussed? |
14811 | Has anybody gone bankrupt since? |
14811 | Has monopoly been very benevolent to its employees? |
14811 | Have n''t you experienced it? |
14811 | Have the trusts had a soft heart for the working people of America? |
14811 | Have you found trusts that cared whether women were sapped of their vitality or not? |
14811 | Have you found trusts that thought as much of their men as they did of their machinery? |
14811 | Have you found trusts that were keen to protect the lungs and the health and the freedom of their employees? |
14811 | Have you found trusts who are very scrupulous about using children in their tender years? |
14811 | Have you no desire to see the markets opened to all? |
14811 | Have you not noticed the growth of socialistic sentiment in the smaller towns? |
14811 | How are they to be understood by the masters of finance, if only the masters of finance are consulted? |
14811 | How are you going to get public servants who will obtain it for you? |
14811 | How does it endanger the rights of the people, and what do we mean to do in order to make our contest against it effectual? |
14811 | How is it going to treat them? |
14811 | I always feel like replying,"What do_ you_ know about it? |
14811 | I said,"What does that mean? |
14811 | I used to meet men who shrugged their shoulders and said:"What difference does it make how we vote? |
14811 | II WHAT IS PROGRESS? |
14811 | IX BENEVOLENCE, OR JUSTICE? |
14811 | If it is a public game, then why not come out into the open and play it in public? |
14811 | If it is a public game, why play it in private? |
14811 | If there is nothing to conceal, then why conceal it? |
14811 | If we die in trying to feed ourselves, why should we eat? |
14811 | If we die trying to get a foothold in the crowd, why not let the crowd trample us sooner and be done with it? |
14811 | If 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? |
14811 | Is it not the most natural and simple thing in the world? |
14811 | Is n''t it about time that we grew up and took charge of our own affairs? |
14811 | Is n''t it true that we know how to make steel in America better than anybody else in the world? |
14811 | Is that freedom? |
14811 | It was probably the same Irishman who, seen digging around the wall of a house, was asked,"Pat, what are you doing?" |
14811 | Liberty for the several parts would consist in the best possible assembling and adjustment of them all, would it not? |
14811 | Monopoly, or Opportunity? |
14811 | Must capture the government? |
14811 | Now, do the workingmen employed by that stock corporation deal with that president and those directors? |
14811 | Or is that your picture of a free, self- governing people? |
14811 | Or why should any man fear competition,--competition either with his fellow- countrymen or with anybody else on earth? |
14811 | Shall we admit that the creature of our own hands is stronger than we are? |
14811 | Shall we not give the people access of sympathy, access of authority, to the instrumentalities which are to be indispensable to their lives? |
14811 | Shall we say that all that we can do is to put government in competition with monopoly and try its strength against it? |
14811 | Shall we withhold our hand and say monopoly is inevitable, that all that we can do is to regulate it? |
14811 | Should it break with them altogether, or rise out of them, with its roots still deep in the older time? |
14811 | So they began to ask:"What is the use of voting? |
14811 | Suppose you consider the citizens of the United States?" |
14811 | Talk of that as inevitable? |
14811 | Talk of that as sound business? |
14811 | The Tariff-"Protection,"or Special Privilege? |
14811 | The government? |
14811 | The moment that begins, there is formed-- what? |
14811 | Then where is your safeguard? |
14811 | Then who is going to convert these men into the chief instruments of justice and benevolence? |
14811 | They said,"What do they know about it?" |
14811 | Through whose instrumentality? |
14811 | VII THE TARIFF--"PROTECTION,"OR SPECIAL PRIVILEGE? |
14811 | VIII MONOPOLY, OR OPPORTUNITY? |
14811 | Very well, then, why was n''t it done? |
14811 | Well, how are they going to raise it? |
14811 | What are the right methods of politics? |
14811 | What are to be the items of our new declaration of independence? |
14811 | What do you mean? |
14811 | What form does the contest between tyranny and freedom take to- day? |
14811 | What good would that do, so long as the Southern Pacific Railroad could substitute others for them? |
14811 | What happened? |
14811 | What hindered us? |
14811 | What is Progress? |
14811 | What is a mob? |
14811 | What is our fear about conservation? |
14811 | What is the present tariff policy of the protectionists? |
14811 | What is the special form of tyranny we now fight? |
14811 | What is the use of having industry, if we perish in producing it? |
14811 | What it liberty? |
14811 | What was in the writings of the men who founded America,--to serve the selfish interests of America? |
14811 | What would our forests be worth without vigorous and intelligent men to make use of them? |
14811 | When did this thing begin? |
14811 | When you have got the market in your hand, does honesty oblige you to turn the palm upside down and empty it? |
14811 | Who are the arch- conservatives nowadays? |
14811 | Who are the men who utter the most fervid praise of the Constitution of the United States and the constitutions of the states? |
14811 | Who have been consulted when important measures of government, like tariff acts, and currency acts, and railroad acts, were under consideration? |
14811 | Who is his employer? |
14811 | Who proposed free trade? |
14811 | Who said free trade? |
14811 | Why are we in the presence, why are we at the threshold, of a revolution? |
14811 | Why did Mr. Gary suggest this very method when he was at the head of the Steel Trust? |
14811 | Why did n''t we get them long ago? |
14811 | Why do the men who do not wish to be disturbed urge the adoption of this program? |
14811 | Why do we continue to permit these things? |
14811 | Why is it that Alaska has lagged in her development? |
14811 | Why is it that we have a labor question at all? |
14811 | Why should any man in free America be afraid of any other man? |
14811 | Why should it be confined to campaign time? |
14811 | Why should political debate go on only when somebody is to be elected? |
14811 | Why should we conserve our natural resources, unless we can by the magic of industry transmute them into the wealth of the world? |
14811 | Why, with unlimited capital and innumerable mines and plants everywhere in the United States, ca n''t they beat the other fellows in the market? |
14811 | Why? |
14811 | Why? |
14811 | Why? |
14811 | With ignominy, or respect? |
14811 | You know the story of the Irishman who, while digging a hole, was asked,"Pat, what are you doing,--digging a hole?" |
14811 | You know your own interest, but who has told you our interests, and what do you know about them?" |
14811 | You say that it does not always work; that the people are too busy or too lazy to bother about voting at primary elections? |
14811 | and every avenue of commercial and industrial activity levelled for the feet of all who would tread it? |
14811 | to see business disentangled from its unholy alliance with politics? |
14811 | to see credit available in due proportion to every man of character and serious purpose who can use it safely and to advantage? |
14811 | to see raw material released from the control of monopolists, and transportation facilities equalized for all? |
14811 | when newcomers with new ideas, new entries with new enthusiasms, independent men, shall be welcomed? |
11114 | Do you desire that your Senators, INGALLS and PLUMB, and your seven Congressmen shall vote for the sixteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution? |
11114 | And 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? |
11114 | And was it a penance, or a setting right, or a promise, or all three? |
11114 | Are not all the men protecting you?" |
11114 | Are women''s votes required because men will not legislate away evils that they do not heartily wish away? |
11114 | Are, then, our rights the property of the majority of a disfranchised class to which we may chance to belong? |
11114 | Bring all questions of choice or duty to this test, will it work at the heart of things, among the realities and forces? |
11114 | Bring all questions of choice or duty to this test; will it work at the heart of things, among the realities and forces? |
11114 | California, in her recent convention, prohibits the Legislature hereafter from enacting any law for woman''s suffrage, does it not? |
11114 | Came it from nature? |
11114 | Can not all expect the direct rule of a home? |
11114 | Did the colonies submit? |
11114 | Did women meet in council and voluntarily give up all their claim to be their own law- makers? |
11114 | Did you all pay your taxes and stay at home and refrain from voting because the Covenanters did not vote? |
11114 | Do they all get it? |
11114 | Do you ask the governing of the nation? |
11114 | Do you say, men have their individual work in the world, and all this beside and of it, and that therefore we may? |
11114 | Do you think this would have no influence? |
11114 | Does a man earn a hundred thousand dollars and lie down and die, saying,"It is all my boys''?" |
11114 | Does anybody propose any other, in case it is done at all by the nation? |
11114 | Does not the former and greater include the latter and less? |
11114 | Does the Senator desire to have it read again? |
11114 | Gentlemen of the committee, do you think it possible that an agitation like this can go on and on forever without a victory? |
11114 | Gentlemen of the committee, will you not recognize the importance of the movement? |
11114 | Gentlemen, are we allowed the opportunity of consent? |
11114 | Has it been read this afternoon? |
11114 | Has the millennium yet dawned? |
11114 | Have they not let go the mainsprings to run after and effectually push with pins the refractory cogs upon the wheel- rims? |
11114 | He was out, and what could we do? |
11114 | How could you reject that petition, even were there but one faint voice beseeching your ear? |
11114 | How was that illiteracy brought upon this country? |
11114 | How would you like it? |
11114 | How, then, would you get Legislatures elected to ratify such a constitutional amendment? |
11114 | I will ask the Senator whether he knows that under the laws of Washington Territory that is a legal excuse from serving on a jury? |
11114 | If no amendment be proposed the question is, shall the joint resolution be engrossed for a third reading? |
11114 | If that which is should therefore remain, why abolish the slavery of men? |
11114 | If the right to vote be not that difference, what is? |
11114 | If women were in the Government do you not think they would protect the economic interests of the nation? |
11114 | In our conventions Miss Anthony was in the habit of putting the following questions to vote:"Are you in favor of equal suffrage for women?" |
11114 | Is all progress at an end? |
11114 | Is government corrupted because men desire shield and opportunity for dishonest speculation; authority and countenance for nefarious combinations? |
11114 | Is it because she is a citizen? |
11114 | Is it because the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments made women citizens? |
11114 | Is it expedient? |
11114 | Is it not well that we should have one sex who have no political ends to serve who can fill responsible positions of public trust? |
11114 | Is it not, Senator? |
11114 | Is it of her own, interior, natural relation, putting her at her true advantage, harmonious with the key to which her life is set? |
11114 | Is it to be the director of a hospital? |
11114 | Is it to the presidency of a board of visitors of an eleemosynary institution? |
11114 | Is not that something that tells for us, and for our right? |
11114 | Is not this exactly, perhaps, just now, for the more universal remedial mothering that in this age is the thing immediately needed? |
11114 | Is that the office to which woman suffragists of this country ask us now to admit them? |
11114 | Is there excess of female population? |
11114 | Is there need that she should do both? |
11114 | Is woman needed at the caucuses, conventions, polls? |
11114 | Let 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?" |
11114 | Many admit the justice of our claim, but will say, Is it safe? |
11114 | May I interrupt you? |
11114 | Must she go to the polls, sick or well, baby or no baby, servant or no servant, strength or no strength, desire or no desire? |
11114 | Not your blood; it was the blood of your forefathers; and were they not our forefathers? |
11114 | Now, were all you men disfranchised because that class or sect up in New York would not vote? |
11114 | Only has not the mistake been made of contending with and grappling results, when causes were in their hands? |
11114 | Preconceived opinions, minds made up, men not so easily beguiled to the pure good, you say? |
11114 | Protect them from whom? |
11114 | Purify politics? |
11114 | Purify the sewers? |
11114 | Said I,"Why do you pay your tax?" |
11114 | Said he,"Why do you keep all the time protesting against paying this small tax?" |
11114 | Shall the joint resolution pass? |
11114 | Shall this go on? |
11114 | Shall we look back to that old third chapter of Genesis? |
11114 | She is an old woman now, and where is she? |
11114 | So 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? |
11114 | Some of you say to us,"Why not leave this matter for settlement in the different States?" |
11114 | Suppose 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? |
11114 | The question is asked how and what would the women do in the State and nation? |
11114 | The question is, can she do both? |
11114 | The question then arises why is the qualification of masculinity required at all? |
11114 | Then and there was the division made; and to which, can we say, was the empire given? |
11114 | Then you ask why we do not get suffrage by the popular- vote method, State by State? |
11114 | Then, if the same blood courses in our veins that courses in yours, dare you expect us to submit? |
11114 | To secure to the poor forsaken wife the right to her earnings? |
11114 | Was this punishment-- as reflected upon the woman-- or the power of a grand retrieval for her? |
11114 | What does this mean? |
11114 | What 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? |
11114 | What is politics after all but the science of government? |
11114 | What is the law of woman- life? |
11114 | What man in his senses would take from woman this sphere? |
11114 | What man would close to her the charitable institutions and eleemosynary establishments of the country? |
11114 | What physician will work with lotion and plaster when he can touch, and control, and heal at the very seat of the disease? |
11114 | What reward the nation bestowed to her faithful services? |
11114 | What says the statesman to the propriety of adding this immense mass of ignorance to the voting population of the Union in its present condition? |
11114 | What was she made woman for, and not man? |
11114 | What, then, is the suffrage, and why is it necessary that woman should possess and exercise this function of freemen? |
11114 | Where are the localities in these Territories where the strain upon popular government must come? |
11114 | Where are their large cities? |
11114 | Where else should a true woman be found? |
11114 | Who among you will be our standard- bearer? |
11114 | Who is so interested in the framing of the law as woman, whose only defense is the law? |
11114 | Who is to care for and train the children while she is absent in the discharge of these masculine duties? |
11114 | Who led those blood- thirsty mobs? |
11114 | Who shrieked loudest in that hurricane of passion? |
11114 | Who stay at home from the election? |
11114 | Whose blood paid for yours? |
11114 | Why did they not ask the negro to do that? |
11114 | Why did they treat those workingmen with respect, and put a greenback plank in their platform, and only table us, and ignore us? |
11114 | Why do not all the fortunate mothers in the land cry out against such a law? |
11114 | Why do you hear no more of women sitting on juries in that Territory? |
11114 | Why is it? |
11114 | Why is the Government, why are the States and the cities, unable to execute those laws? |
11114 | Why not take the yeas and nays on the passage? |
11114 | Why? |
11114 | Why? |
11114 | Will not this apply all the way up, into the arts and the professions even? |
11114 | Will the Senator allow me to ask him a question? |
11114 | Will the women of this country submit? |
11114 | Will you do your duty and give us our liberty, or will you leave it for braver hearts to do what must be done? |
11114 | Will you urge upon the members of the committee the importance of their perusal? |
11114 | Woman quite as apt to make mistakes out of Paradise as in? |
11114 | Would it not be a kind of woman- suffrage to settle the very initials of all that ever bears upon the public question? |
11114 | Would there be no power in that? |
11114 | Would you choose your statesmen? |
11114 | Would you treat it lightly? |
11114 | You may ask,"Do not your husbands protect you? |
11114 | You think there is a majority, as I understand, even in the State of New York, against women suffrage? |
11114 | and amend it by adding,"What is woman, that they never thought of her?" |
11114 | and"Do you desire your Legislature to extend municipal suffrage to women?" |
11114 | but what sort of an office- holder? |
11114 | or are there a hundred other things done when the home contingencies are really met by a woman? |

15220 | Do you mean,said this potentate,"to bring down the whole Beecher family on your head?" |
15220 | How came you to step on it? |
15220 | How much you pity? |
15220 | Is this your usual method of serving a warrant? |
15220 | No,was the reply,"do you mean to bring the whole Smith family on to yours?" |
15220 | Oh, is that so? 15220 Where do you find the strongest antipathy to woman suffrage?" |
15220 | Why so,asked Miss Anthony,"when Mrs. Stanton is first vice- president? |
15220 | Will not Greeley and Beecher and Phillips and Tilton advance the money? |
15220 | Yes, I know it,she replied,"and does not the law of the United States give the slaveholder the ownership of the slave? |
15220 | You 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? |
15220 | After the merriment had subsided, he continued:"When should this inalienable right of suffrage commence for young men and foreigners? |
15220 | Ah, when my"wild heresies"become"fashionable orthodoxies,"wo n''t my acquaintance be a pleasure to other Rochester people, too? |
15220 | And do n''t you break it every time you help a slave to Canada?" |
15220 | And the result-- will the people save the country they love so well, or will the rulers dig the nation''s grave? |
15220 | And what is our position politically? |
15220 | Are 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? |
15220 | Are we, sir, to give the least countenance to claims so preposterous, disgraceful and criminal as are embodied in this address? |
15220 | As an Abolitionist, therefore, I am for the equal rights movement, and as one of the confessedly oppressed race, how could I be otherwise? |
15220 | At this time Parker Pillsbury wrote to Lydia Mott: Is there work down among you for Susan to do? |
15220 | But how did I get into this dissertation? |
15220 | But the woman''s rights meetings already announced by posters, what should be done in regard to them? |
15220 | But to the question, what good our Union has done? |
15220 | But what is love, tenderness, protection, even, unless rooted in justice? |
15220 | Can a ballot in the hand of woman and dignity on her brow, more unsex her than do a scepter and a crown? |
15220 | Can it be that my stammering tongue ever will be loosed? |
15220 | Can you Republicans so utterly stultify yourselves, can you so entirely work against yourselves, as to refuse us a declaratory law? |
15220 | Can you believe that this state of things can last? |
15220 | Conventions and conventions for fifty years, without a break, planned and managed by one woman-- was there ever a similar record? |
15220 | Could I aid in bringing down this splendid entablature from its proud elevation and trailing it in the dust and dirt that surround the pedestal? |
15220 | Did the defendant vote in good faith in that belief? |
15220 | Do tell me what is the matter with me? |
15220 | Do we not claim that here all men and women are nobles-- all heirs apparent to the throne? |
15220 | Do you remember that text of Scripture, which says,''She who by the plow would thrive, herself must either hold or drive''? |
15220 | Do you want to vote and be President?" |
15220 | Does 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?" |
15220 | Does not Channing deserve the blessing of all the race for his fidelity to the cause of women? |
15220 | During a conversation with General Grant one day on Pennsylvania Avenue, she said,"Well, Mr. President, what are you going to do for woman suffrage?" |
15220 | During this controversy the Utica Herald contained a disgraceful editorial, saying: Who does not feel sympathy for Susan Anthony? |
15220 | George William Curtis accepted her invitation in this characteristic letter: I think of no title for your course, but why have any? |
15220 | Had you not better omit my name in 1869? |
15220 | Has my mind advanced either in Virtue or Literature? |
15220 | Has the prisoner anything to say why sentence shall not be pronounced? |
15220 | Have our minds become improved from passing occurences, or do they remain in that dormant- like state which so often degrades the human soul? |
15220 | Have they done as they promised? |
15220 | Have we the right to say when it shall begin?" |
15220 | He replied:"Do you think after the money has been audited to me, I ought to turn around and give it all to her?" |
15220 | He said:"Do n''t you know the law of Massachusetts gives the father the entire guardianship and control of the children?" |
15220 | How can the work be started? |
15220 | How is this great change to be wrought, who are to urge on this vast work of reform? |
15220 | How many husbands who do not applaud? |
15220 | How many wives do you see who are not acting this tragedy? |
15220 | How will the gods make up my record on home affections? |
15220 | I ask you what sort of peace, what sort of prosperity, have we had? |
15220 | I stated my business and he asked:"What are you driving at? |
15220 | If any say to me,"Why will you agitate the woman question when it is the hour for the black man?" |
15220 | If this may be done in one instance, why may it not in all? |
15220 | If we admit this self- evident proposition, then the question is presented, should it be published during his lifetime? |
15220 | If you do not like him because he tastes wine, how can you like Henry Clay who drinks it freely? |
15220 | If you vote, are you ready to fight?" |
15220 | Is it to be wondered that there are such vast numbers of our population who are the votaries of Vice and Dissipation? |
15220 | Is not here a point where you need to be very cautious and guarded? |
15220 | Is not that self- evident? |
15220 | It might also have answered the question,"Should a woman be compelled to leave the land of her nativity because of the injustice of its laws?" |
15220 | Later, thinking to trap her, he asked,"You presented yourself as a female, claiming that you had a right to vote?" |
15220 | Like a man? |
15220 | Men sell their votes; but did any one ever hear of their selling their right to vote? |
15220 | Mr. Douglass--"Will you allow me a question?" |
15220 | Mr. Greeley again asked,"Well, mother, shall I serve the lemonade?" |
15220 | Mrs. Jewell met me in the street and said,"Is it true that you and Mrs. Stowe are going to help The Revolution?" |
15220 | Now I want you to answer these two questions: 1st.--Did you do anything in the way of organizing at the Saturday evening reunion, and if so, what? |
15220 | O, Susan, are you ever coming to visit me again? |
15220 | Oh, if we could but make our meetings ring like those of the anti- slavery people, would n''t the world hear us? |
15220 | On January 11, 1863, Miss Anthony received this letter from Theodore Tilton:"Well, what have you to say to the proclamation? |
15220 | Parker Pillsbury wrote: Can you not make this gathering one of a popular character? |
15220 | Presently Governor Robinson said to her,''Where''s Mrs. Stanton? |
15220 | Shall I tell you a secret? |
15220 | Shall an American Congress pay less honor to the daughter of a President than a British Parliament to the daughter of a King? |
15220 | Shall it not be women, who are most aggrieved by the foul destroyer''s inroads? |
15220 | Shall you be at the May meeting? |
15220 | She was called as a witness and inquired of Judge Hunt:"I should like to know if the testimony of a person convicted of a crime can be taken?" |
15220 | She writes:"Can you begin to imagine my excitement? |
15220 | Should not our petitions command as respectful a hearing in a republican Senate as a speech of Victoria in the House of Lords? |
15220 | Should public sentiment tolerate such a consummation of love-- or passion, if it were not love? |
15220 | Sometimes I exclaim in agony,''Can nothing raise the self- respect of women?'' |
15220 | The judge looked on while they were being unloaded and finally asked,"Why, Anthony, where are the rum barrels?" |
15220 | The query naturally arises, at least to the thoughtful mind, How has our time since the last Annual revolution of the Earth been employed? |
15220 | Then arises the question, how are we to accomplish the end desired? |
15220 | Then what is all your pettifogging about technicalities worth? |
15220 | There was a long pause and Mr. Greeley said,"Well, mother, shall I serve the cake?" |
15220 | To rest? |
15220 | To tell the truth I want to see you very much indeed, to hold your hand in mine, to hear your voice, in a word, I want_ you_--I ca n''t have you? |
15220 | To the question whether she were not very tired, she replied:"Why, what would make me tired? |
15220 | Turning to the few rows of men in front of him, for the women occupied the back seats, he inquired,"What is the pleasure of the convention?" |
15220 | Was the defendant legally entitled to vote at the election in question? |
15220 | We put it on for greater freedom, but what is physical freedom compared with mental bondage?" |
15220 | What I mean is will not some sturdy Republican or Gerrit Smith man preside, another act as secretary and several make addresses? |
15220 | What are a thousand names, and who are the best women in the land? |
15220 | What can we do now when even the motion to retain the mother''s joint guardianship is voted down? |
15220 | What in the name of crying babies does Miss Anthony know about such matters? |
15220 | What is the irresistible power so terrifically pictured in both Hetty and Arthur, which led them on to the very ill they most would shun? |
15220 | What is the love and submission of one manly heart to the woman whose ambition it is to sway the minds of multitudes as did a Demosthenes or a Cicero? |
15220 | What or who can supply the loss?" |
15220 | What think you of the"signs of the times?" |
15220 | When is your agony over?" |
15220 | When she demanded of Judge Selden,"Did you not know that you had estopped me from carrying my case to the Supreme Court?" |
15220 | When will the children of men learn this fact, that nothing pays but that which is obtained fairly, openly and honestly? |
15220 | When will they be truer and nobler? |
15220 | Where was I? |
15220 | Who ever thought that Susan Anthony could get up such an affair? |
15220 | Who is this among us crying''peace, peace, when there is no peace?'' |
15220 | Who of all the public speakers rendered greater aid to the Union than the inspired Anna Dickinson? |
15220 | Who was responsible for the Sabbath breaking?... |
15220 | Why ca n''t I excuse myself from the overpowering and disagreeable struggles? |
15220 | Why can I not learn self- control?... |
15220 | Why can I not put my thought into words?" |
15220 | Why do n''t"secretaries"write the official letters? |
15220 | Why have you deserted the field of action at a time like this, at an hour unparalleled in almost twenty centuries? |
15220 | Why not say simply,"A Course of Independent Lectures?" |
15220 | Why not treat the subject with some show of honesty? |
15220 | Will you give me a full report of the action taken upon it?... |
15220 | Will you let us know what your engagements are, and, if you can enter into this agency, when you will be ready to commence? |
15220 | Will you not write to me, please, soon? |
15220 | Will you see if you can get our petition in your city and county papers? |
15220 | Woman must have a purse of her own, and how can this be so long as the law denies to the wife all right to both the individual and the joint earnings? |

15220 | Would he feel that he was honoring the women of his country by accepting as their representatives women whom they must and do despise? |
15220 | Would it not be more so without Train? |

31125 | Could n''t the employers of the bricklayers have bribed the editors? |
31125 | Did they ridicule and denounce the bricklayers? |

31125 | Do you pray? |
31125 | Does Wifehood Preclude Citizenship? |
31125 | How many less children have you now than ten years ago? |
31125 | In love? |
31125 | Like the Howard Mission? |

31125 | What would you call woman''s best attribute? |
31125 | What''s your favorite motto, or have you one? |
31125 | Why has it been so understood? 31125 Why, Miss Anthony, do you mean that you would actually turn the home of this old family into an orphan asylum?" |
31125 | Would it not be a practical work, then, to make it possible for every mother to support her own children? 31125 You saw the Queen, I suppose?" |
31125 | A.?" |
31125 | Again one inquired,"Did you not grow discouraged in those olden times?" |
31125 | All we ever have asked is simply,"Do you believe in perfect equality for women?" |
31125 | And is not this the precise condition of what men call the"better half"of the human family? |
31125 | And later:"Do any of my wails reach you? |
31125 | And then a few days later:"Have I killed you outright? |
31125 | And what was his offense? |
31125 | And who can give the reason why the sister''s opinion should be ignored and the brother''s honored?... |
31125 | Anna? |
31125 | Are you going to leave your mothers, wives and sisters in that category? |
31125 | At the close of Mrs. Hooker''s verses entitled"Should Auld Acquaintance be Forgot?" |
31125 | Bless the Republicans for slapping us in the face, and blast the Populists for giving us a helping hand? |
31125 | But how could they without finding themselves, as a result, penniless and homeless? |
31125 | But should the Republicans refuse to insert the plank on June 6 and the Populists put a good solid one in their platform on June 12, what then? |
31125 | But suppose there were plenty of money, and there could be a most thorough fall campaign, what then? |
31125 | But who should do it? |
31125 | But, you say, why do you not go to your several States to secure this right? |
31125 | Can it be that she is gone in the very prime of her womanhood? |
31125 | Can we get 5,000 or 10,000 to send on their postals? |
31125 | Can we summon the women from the vasty deeps-- or distances? |
31125 | Could any pen give an adequate idea of the amount of work accomplished by that tireless brain and those never- resting hands? |
31125 | Did the law of supply and demand regulate work and wages in the olden days of slavery? |
31125 | Did we banish Mrs. Rose? |
31125 | Do n''t you see that for Anthony to head the fray, preside and be general master of ceremonies, would reduce it to a mere mutual admiration affair? |
31125 | Do the petitions still come in? |
31125 | Do you mean so satisfy me that I would work, and recommend all women to work, for the success of the Third party ticket? |
31125 | Do you mean to repeat the experiment of 1867? |
31125 | Do you see that they are all Mrs. John and Mrs. George and Mrs. William this and that? |

29870 | Men of the republic, why make life harder for your daughters by these artificial distinctions? |
29870 | Mrs. Mary B. Clay( Ky.) opened the last day''s session with a forcible address entitled, Are American Women Civil and Political Slaves? |
29870 | Must the Twentieth Century be consumed in securing for woman that which man spent a hundred years in obtaining for himself? |
29870 | My friend, who gave you the right to determine what that sphere should be? |
29870 | My friends, what is man''s idea of womanliness? |
29870 | Now I ask you if our religion teaches the dignity of woman? |
29870 | Now, what can be said to such a person? |
29870 | Now, why did he fail us? |
29870 | O, sun, what legend shines your arch above? |
29870 | Of what crime have we been guilty? |
29870 | Olympia Brown replied to the question, Where is the Mistake? |
29870 | Or is it probable that the advocates of territorial expansion will pause a moment to ponder on the woman side of that question? |
29870 | Or is our mere sex a fault for which we must be punished? |
29870 | Or ordered the soldiers to filter and boil their drinking water, without furnishing any filters or any vessels to boil it in? |
29870 | Or provided only one horse and one mule to bring the water for two companies? |
29870 | Ought we not admit that men have wrongs to complain of? |
29870 | Protect them from whom? |
29870 | Second, Is it desirable? |
29870 | Shall Immigration Be Restricted? |
29870 | She exclaimed,"Oh, when did Mrs. A. become a voter? |
29870 | So they have, but, gentlemen, has your sex been more generous to women than they have been generous toward you in their favors? |
29870 | Suffrage is representation, and it has been given in free governments to such class of persons as in their judgment[ whose judgment?] |
29870 | Suppose during these fifty years we had asked only for what we thought we could secure, where should we be now? |
29870 | That is what right bower means, is n''t it?" |
29870 | The day has come when the counsel and service of women are required by the highest interests of the State, and who shall gainsay their conscription? |
29870 | The maternal instinct is stronger in the hearts of most women than any moral sense.... What is the suffrage going to do for motherhood? |
29870 | The query persists in thrusting itself upon my mind, why should I be amenable to a law that does not accord me recognition? |
29870 | The question is, shall we secure that right by fundamental law? |
29870 | The question then arises why is the qualification of masculinity required? |
29870 | The text was chosen from Joshua, 1:9:"Have I not commanded thee? |
29870 | Then you think it would be much better to give the women the right to vote than the men? |
29870 | Then, too, have not men, poor fellows, had to do all the talking since the world began? |
29870 | There are women''s clubs all over the country; did you ever hear of one organized for other than an uplifting purpose? |
29870 | These statistics answer conclusively the question,"Do women want to vote?" |
29870 | These were not all phrased alike, but each asked the recipient:"What can be done to defeat the woman suffrage bill? |
29870 | They have everything they need, why ask the ballot? |
29870 | Third, Is it expedient? |
29870 | This pamphlet of over five thousand words which began,"What is the law of woman- life? |
29870 | To secure to the poor forsaken wife the right to her earnings? |
29870 | Upon what principle in a Government like ours can one- half the minds be denied expression at the polls? |
29870 | VOICE IN THE AUDIENCE: How many women are there in the Colorado Legislature? |
29870 | Valuable discussions were held on State and National Banks, Should the Governor Exercise the Veto Power? |
29870 | Was there ever apparently a more hopeless quest? |
29870 | We are Daughters of Evolution, and who can stop old Dame Evolution?... |
29870 | We ask,"Is the way difficult?" |
29870 | What brought about those improvements? |
29870 | What can they offer to offset the influences behind these bodies? |
29870 | What do these assertions mean? |
29870 | What do we know as yet of the womanly? |
29870 | What does this mean? |
29870 | What does this show if not that women wish to vote? |
29870 | What elections pertain to school matters? |
29870 | What excuse can be made for this monstrous perversion of liberty? |
29870 | What future election could be of more importance to women than this, and why should they hesitate to show their interest? |
29870 | What had she to work from? |
29870 | What had she to work with? |
29870 | What has been the verdict upon the work of those women on the poor- law board? |
29870 | What has caused heretofore the downfall of nations? |
29870 | What have women? |
29870 | What holds the Turkish woman in the harem? |
29870 | What is a republican form of Government? |
29870 | What is education for, what is religion for, but as a means to the end of the development of humanity? |
29870 | What is fanaticism? |
29870 | What is the gift, O winds, that ye have brought? |
29870 | What is the industrial condition of women to- day?... |
29870 | What is the name of it? |
29870 | What man in his senses would take from woman this sphere? |
29870 | What man would close to her the charitable institutions and eleemosynary establishments of the country? |
29870 | What mysterious power has brought it? |
29870 | What power is it that makes the Hindoo woman burn herself on the funeral pyre of her husband? |
29870 | What rights can women expect to have that they do not have now? |
29870 | What shall be the result of this double demand? |
29870 | What sort of a star shall we call Boston? |
29870 | What sort of justice is there in excluding from the basis of representation Indians who are not taxed and including in this basis women who are taxed? |
29870 | What then would be the status of the cases in which Mrs. Leach and other women had acted as attorney? |
29870 | What though it may have meant repression? |
29870 | What was she made woman for, and not man?" |
29870 | What was the result? |
29870 | What would Christianity be if it had only the Ten Commandments and not the Golden Rule? |
29870 | What would a herdsman say if you told him his sheepfold was all that was needed, and refused to give him a gun? |
29870 | What would her Parliament have thought? |
29870 | What would other nations have thought?... |
29870 | What would the farmer say if you gave him a cultivator but no plough? |
29870 | What, say they, shall we do to hasten the work? |
29870 | What, then, is the suffrage, and why is it necessary that woman should possess and exercise this function of freemen? |
29870 | When John Adams went courting Abigail Smith, her proud father said to her:"Who is this young Adams? |
29870 | When a ticket is presented to her, she asks,"Are these good men?" |
29870 | Whence came my right to speak those words? |
29870 | Whenever any of the delegates said,"Why, have n''t you read Maloney''s opinion that a woman can not hold the office or vote for trustee?" |
29870 | Where are the localities in which the strain upon popular government must come? |
29870 | Where are their large cities? |
29870 | Where did he come from?" |
29870 | Where else should a true woman be found? |
29870 | Which Would Benefit Boston Most, License or No License? |
29870 | Which is it? |
29870 | Which would you do? |
29870 | Who are the people? |
29870 | Who are they, and to what class do they belong? |
29870 | Who can tell now whether these commentaries may not prove a great help to woman''s emancipation from old superstitions which have barred its way? |
29870 | Who defends woman''s individuality in our modern State? |
29870 | Who have periled their lives for it? |
29870 | Who is to care for and train the children while she is absent in the discharge of these masculine duties? |
29870 | Who is to draw the line? |
29870 | Who made it? |
29870 | Who shall interpret to a woman the divine element in her being? |
29870 | Who to- day can tell the difference between a Democrat and a Republican? |
29870 | Who would think of calling a new- born infant antique? |
29870 | Why do I believe it? |
29870 | Why 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? |
29870 | Why is this true? |
29870 | Why not reach out a hand to woman and say,"Come and help us make the laws and secure fair play"? |
29870 | Why should I go to one- half of the people and ask whether so clear and explicit a declaration as this includes me? |
29870 | Why should man alone determine these conditions which often counteract all the mother''s training? |
29870 | Why should they not participate in the election of officers who are to govern them? |
29870 | Why should they think that we would pick out fools for our husbands?... |
29870 | Why, indeed, should I owe loyalty and allegiance to a Government that stamps my brow with the badge of servility and inferiority? |
29870 | Why, then, this change? |
29870 | Why? |
29870 | Why? |
29870 | Will not voting destroy the womanly instincts? |
29870 | Will not women be contaminated by going to the polls? |
29870 | Will the possession of the ballot multiply and widen these avenues to self- support and independence? |
29870 | Will they not take away employment from men? |
29870 | Will they not, under this influence, in a little while be driven to the wall and obliged to step down and out? |
29870 | Will this House take a step backward on this question? |
29870 | With the freedom she now has, see how she is arousing the public conscience on all questions of right.... What is conservatism? |
29870 | With this mass of prejudice, selfishness and inertia to overcome is there any hope of future success? |
29870 | Without her what is the prospect in this regard? |
29870 | Would not any body of men look upon disfranchisement as"a cruel and degrading penalty?" |
29870 | Would that be considered honorable-- would it be considered tolerable-- even among prize- fighters? |
29870 | Would they have done so if it had proved injurious to their homes? |
29870 | Would 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? |
29870 | Yet without the weapons of defense what could individuals and nations do in time of war for their own protection? |
29870 | You may ask, What reforms has Wyoming to show? |
29870 | You 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?] |
29870 | and she quickly received the reply,"Why, the hen does not mind it"; and in her heathen innocence she inquired,"Did you ask the hen?" |
29870 | answered the question, Are Women Represented in our Government? |
29870 | but what sort of an office- holder? |
29870 | gave a brilliant address entitled What Answer? |
29870 | gave an eloquent address on The Outlook, answering the four stock questions: Why do not more women ask for the ballot? |
29870 | have you given her an opportunity of saying so? |
29870 | made a strong speech upon Partisan or Patriot? |
29870 | she would answer,"Yes, but have n''t you read my opinion that she can?" |
29870 | suff.? |
29870 | take part in? |
1404 | After 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? |
1404 | And how could it have happened otherwise? |
1404 | And how far does this combination characterize the plan which has been reported by the convention? |
1404 | And it is asked by what authority this bold and radical innovation was undertaken? |
1404 | And what are the different classes of legislators but advocates and parties to the causes which they determine? |
1404 | And what is there in all this that can not as well be performed by the national legislature as by a State legislature? |
1404 | And who is there that will either take the trouble or incur the odium, of a strict scrutiny into the secret springs of the transaction? |
1404 | And will he not, from his own interest in that species of property, be sufficiently prone to resist every attempt to prejudice or encumber it? |
1404 | Are fleets and armies and revenues necessary to this purpose? |
1404 | Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of other irregular and violent propensities? |
1404 | Are not the former administered by MEN as well as the latter? |
1404 | Are suppositions of this sort the sober admonitions of discerning patriots to a discerning people? |
1404 | Are the State governments to be stigmatized as tyrannies, because they possess this power? |
1404 | Are there engagements to the performance of which we are held by every tie respectable among men? |
1404 | Are there not aversions, predilections, rivalships, and desires of unjust acquisitions, that affect nations as well as kings? |
1404 | Are they agreed, are any two of them agreed, in their objections to the remedy proposed, or in the proper one to be substituted? |
1404 | Are they not the genuine and the characteristic means by which republican government provides for the liberty and happiness of the people? |
1404 | Are they not the identical means on which every State government in the Union relies for the attainment of these important ends? |
1404 | Are they only to be met with in the towns or cities? |
1404 | Are we afraid of foreign gold? |
1404 | Are we entitled by nature and compact to a free participation in the navigation of the Mississippi? |
1404 | Are we in a condition to resent or to repel the aggression? |
1404 | Are"the wealthy and the well- born,"as they are called, confined to particular spots in the several States? |
1404 | But SUSPICION may ask, Why then was it introduced? |
1404 | But a right implies a remedy; and where else could the remedy be deposited, than where it is deposited by the Constitution? |
1404 | But are they not all that government will admit, and that human prudence can devise? |
1404 | But could an appeal be made to lie from the State courts to the subordinate federal judicatories? |
1404 | But does it follow because there is a power to lay them that they will actually be laid? |
1404 | But even in that case, may he have no object beyond his present station, to which he may sacrifice his independence? |
1404 | But have they considered whether a better form could have been substituted? |
1404 | But is it a just idea? |
1404 | But is not the fact an alarming proof of the danger resulting from a government which does not possess regular powers commensurate to its objects? |
1404 | But 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? |
1404 | But might not his nomination be overruled? |
1404 | But ought not a more direct and explicit provision to have been made in favor of the State courts? |
1404 | But the question again recurs, upon what pretense could he be put in possession of a force of that magnitude in time of peace? |
1404 | But upon what principle is the discrimination of the places of election to be made, in order to answer the purpose of the meditated preference? |
1404 | But 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? |
1404 | But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme? |
1404 | But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? |
1404 | But what is to be the object of this capricious partiality in the national councils? |
1404 | But what would be the contest in the case we are supposing? |
1404 | But where are the means to be found by the President, or the Senate, or both? |
1404 | But whether made by one side or the other, would each side enjoy equal advantages on the trial? |
1404 | But why is the experiment of an extended republic to be rejected, merely because it may comprise what is new? |
1404 | But why, it is asked, might not the same purpose have been accomplished by the instrumentality of the State courts? |
1404 | But will not this also be possessed in sufficient degree by a very few intelligent men, diffusively elected within the State? |
1404 | But would not her navigation be materially injured by the loss of the important advantage of being her own carrier in that trade? |
1404 | By 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? |
1404 | By what means is this object attainable? |
1404 | Can it be said that the limits of the United States exceed this distance? |
1404 | Can not the like knowledge be obtained in the national legislature from the representatives of each State? |
1404 | Could the Supreme Court have been relied upon as answering this description? |
1404 | Do the monitors deny the reality of her danger? |
1404 | Do these fundamental principles require, particularly, that no tax should be levied without the intermediate agency of the States? |
1404 | Do they begin by exciting the detestation of the very instruments of their intended usurpations? |
1404 | Do they deny the necessity of some speedy and powerful remedy? |
1404 | Do they require that the members of the government should derive their appointment from the legislatures, not from the people of the States? |
1404 | Do they require that the powers of the government should act on the States, and not immediately on individuals? |
1404 | Do they require that, in the establishment of the Constitution, the States should be regarded as distinct and independent sovereigns? |
1404 | Do we owe debts to foreigners and to our own citizens contracted in a time of imminent peril for the preservation of our political existence? |
1404 | Does the American impose on the Congress appropriations for two years? |
1404 | Does the British Constitution restrain the parliamentary discretion to one year? |
1404 | For what inducement could the Senate have to concur in a preference in which itself would not be included? |
1404 | For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? |
1404 | From what quarter can the danger proceed? |
1404 | Had not Congress repeatedly recommended this measure as not inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the Confederation? |
1404 | Had 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? |
1404 | Has commerce hitherto done anything more than change the objects of war? |
1404 | Has it been found that bodies of men act with more rectitude or greater disinterestedness than individuals? |
1404 | Has not the spirit of commerce, in many instances, administered new incentives to the appetite, both for the one and for the other? |
1404 | Have republics in practice been less addicted to war than monarchies? |
1404 | Have they, by some miraculous instinct or foresight, set apart in each of them a common place of residence? |
1404 | Have we not had unequivocal experience of its effects in the course of the revolution which we have just accomplished? |
1404 | Here another question occurs: What relation would subsist between the national and State courts in these instances of concurrent jurisdiction? |
1404 | How can it ever possess either energy or stability, dignity or credit, confidence at home or respectability abroad? |
1404 | How can it undertake or execute any liberal or enlarged plans of public good? |
1404 | How can its administration be any thing else than a succession of expedients temporizing, impotent, disgraceful? |
1404 | How can perfection spring from such materials? |
1404 | How can the trade between the different States be duly regulated, without some knowledge of their relative situations in these and other respects? |
1404 | How could recoveries be enforced? |
1404 | How could the Senate confer a benefit upon the President by the manner of employing their right of negative upon his nominations? |
1404 | How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union? |
1404 | How far can they be combined with those other ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense? |
1404 | How shall we prevent a conflict between charity and conviction? |
1404 | How will it be able to avoid a frequent sacrifice of its engagements to immediate necessity? |
1404 | How would it be possible to agree upon a rule of apportionment satisfactory to all? |
1404 | How, and when, and in what proportion shall aids of men and money be afforded? |
1404 | How, in fact, could a majority in the House of Representatives impeach themselves? |
1404 | I ask, What are these principles? |
1404 | If any question is depending in a State legislature respecting one of the counties, which demands a knowledge of local details, how is it acquired? |
1404 | If 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? |
1404 | If one was attacked, would the others fly to its succor, and spend their blood and money in its defense? |
1404 | If the latter, in what relation will they stand to the national tribunals? |
1404 | If there should be an army to be made use of as the engine of despotism, what need of the militia? |
1404 | If this be the design of it, who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves? |
1404 | If this be their true interest, have they in fact pursued it? |
1404 | If, 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? |
1404 | In relation to what objects? |
1404 | In what does our security consist against usurpation from that quarter? |
1404 | In what manner is this influence to be exerted? |
1404 | Is a bill of rights essential to liberty? |
1404 | Is a law proposed concerning private debts? |
1404 | Is a violent and unnatural decrease in the value of land a symptom of national distress? |
1404 | Is an indefinite power to raise money dangerous in the hands of the federal government? |
1404 | Is an indefinite power to raise troops dangerous? |
1404 | Is another object of a bill of rights to define certain immunities and modes of proceeding, which are relative to personal and private concerns? |
1404 | Is commerce of importance to national wealth? |
1404 | Is it a fair comparison? |
1404 | Is it here that suspicion rests her charge? |
1404 | Is it improper and unsafe to intermix the different powers of government in the same body of men? |
1404 | Is it not designed as a method of NATIONAL INQUEST into the conduct of public men? |
1404 | Is it not( we may ask these projectors in politics) the true interest of all nations to cultivate the same benevolent and philosophic spirit? |
1404 | Is it particularly dangerous to give the keys of the treasury, and the command of the army, into the same hands? |
1404 | Is it possible that foreign nations can either respect or confide in such a government? |
1404 | Is it possible that the people of America will longer consent to trust their honor, their happiness, their safety, on so precarious a foundation? |
1404 | Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all? |
1404 | Is it supported by REASON? |
1404 | Is it to be presumed that any other State, at the same or any other given period, will be exempt from them? |
1404 | Is it to be presumed, that at any future septennial epoch the same State will be free from parties? |
1404 | Is it true that force and right are necessarily on the same side in republican governments? |
1404 | Is not a want of co- operation the infallible consequence of such a system? |
1404 | Is not the love of wealth as domineering and enterprising a passion as that of power or glory? |
1404 | Is not the power of the governor, in this article, on a calculation of political consequences, greater than that of the President? |
1404 | Is not this the true light in which it ought to be regarded? |
1404 | Is private credit the friend and patron of industry? |
1404 | Is public credit an indispensable resource in time of public danger? |
1404 | Is respectability in the eyes of foreign powers a safeguard against foreign encroachments? |
1404 | Is the CONSEQUENCE from this doctrine admissible? |
1404 | Is the administration of justice between the citizens of the same State the proper department of the local governments? |
1404 | Is the aggregate power of the general government greater than ought to have been vested in it? |
1404 | Is the danger apprehended from the other branches of the federal government? |
1404 | Is the doctrine warranted by FACTS? |
1404 | Is the importation of slaves permitted by the new Constitution for twenty years? |
1404 | Is the power of declaring war necessary? |
1404 | Is the power of raising armies and equipping fleets necessary? |
1404 | Is this the way in which usurpers stride to dominion over a numerous and enlightened nation? |
1404 | Is this to be exclusive, or are those courts to possess a concurrent jurisdiction? |
1404 | It has been asked, what is meant by"cases arising under the Constitution,"in contradiction from those"arising under the laws of the United States"? |
1404 | It may be asked, Why, then, could not a time have been fixed in the Constitution? |
1404 | It may be asked, perhaps, what has so long kept this disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces? |
1404 | Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed? |
1404 | May he have no connections, no friends, for whom he may sacrifice it? |
1404 | Must it of necessity be admitted that this power is infringed, so long as a part of the old articles remain? |
1404 | Or are they the inflammatory ravings of incendiaries or distempered enthusiasts? |
1404 | Or shall we say they may be continued as long as the danger which occasioned their being raised continues? |
1404 | Or to what purpose would it be established, in reference to one branch of the legislature, if it could not be extended to the other? |
1404 | Or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one? |
1404 | Or, 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? |
1404 | Shall domestic manufactures be encouraged, and in what degree, by restrictions on foreign manufactures? |
1404 | Shall it be a week, a month, a year? |
1404 | Shall the Union be constituted the guardian of the common safety? |
1404 | Should the people of America divide themselves into three or four nations, would not the same thing happen? |
1404 | The remaining inquiry is: Does it also combine the requisites to safety, in a republican sense-- a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility? |

1404 | The true question to be decided then is, whether the smallness of the number, as a temporary regulation, be dangerous to the public liberty? |
1404 | They must therefore depend on the information of intelligent men, in whom they confide; and how must these men obtain their information? |
1404 | This is the form in which the comparison is usually stated to the public: but is it a just form? |

1404 | Why has government been instituted at all? |
1404 | Why not amend it and make it perfect before it is irrevocably established?" |
1404 | Why should we consent to bear more than our proper share of the common burden? |
1404 | Why should we do more in proportion than those who are embarked with us in the same political voyage? |
1404 | Will 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? |
1404 | Will it be said that the alterations ought not to have touched the substance of the Confederation? |
1404 | Will it lean in favor of the landed interest, or the moneyed interest, or the mercantile interest, or the manufacturing interest? |
1404 | Will not the landholder know and feel whatever will promote or insure the interest of landed property? |
1404 | With what color of propriety could the force necessary for defense be limited by those who can not limit the force of offense? |
1404 | Would Connecticut and New Jersey long submit to be taxed by New York for her exclusive benefit? |
1404 | Would he on any occasion either have demanded or have received the like humiliation from Spain, or Britain, or any other POWERFUL nation? |
1404 | Would 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? |
1404 | Would not similar jealousies arise, and be in like manner cherished? |
1404 | Would not the mere circumstance of freight occasion a considerable deduction? |
1404 | Would not the principal part of its profits be intercepted by the Dutch, as a compensation for their agency and risk? |
1404 | Would she not have been compelled to raise and to maintain a more regular force for the execution of her design? |
1404 | Would the militia, in this supposition, be more ready or more able to support the federal authority than in the case of a general union? |
1404 | Would there not be the greatest reason to apprehend, that error, in the first sentence, would be the parent of error in the second sentence? |
1404 | Would they not be likely to prefer a conduct better adapted to their own immediate aggrandizement? |
18 | After 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? |
18 | And how could it have happened otherwise? |
18 | And how far does this combination characterize the plan which has been reported by the convention? |
18 | And how far does this combination characterize the plan which has been reported by the convention? |
18 | And it is asked by what authority this bold and radical innovation was undertaken? |
18 | And what are the different classes of legislators but advocates and parties to the causes which they determine? |
18 | And what is there in all this that can not as well be performed by the national legislature as by a State legislature? |
18 | And who is there that will either take the trouble or incur the odium, of a strict scrunity into the secret springs of the transaction? |
18 | And who is there that will either take the trouble or incur the odium, of a strict scrunity into the secret springs of the transaction? |
18 | And will he not, from his own interest in that species of property, be sufficiently prone to resist every attempt to prejudice or encumber it? |
18 | Are fleets and armies and revenues necessary to this purpose? |
18 | Are not popular assemblies frequently subject to the impulses of rage, resentment, jealousy, avarice, and of other irregular and violent propensities? |
18 | Are not the former administered by MEN as well as the latter? |
18 | Are suppositions of this sort the sober admonitions of discerning patriots to a discerning people? |
18 | Are the State governments to be stigmatized as tyrannies, because they possess this power? |
18 | Are there engagements to the performance of which we are held by every tie respectable among men? |
18 | Are there not aversions, predilections, rivalships, and desires of unjust acquisitions, that affect nations as well as kings? |
18 | Are they agreed, are any two of them agreed, in their objections to the remedy proposed, or in the proper one to be substituted? |
18 | Are they not the genuine and the characteristic means by which republican government provides for the liberty and happiness of the people? |
18 | Are they not the identical means on which every State government in the Union relies for the attainment of these important ends? |
18 | Are they only to be met with in the towns or cities? |
18 | Are we afraid of foreign gold? |
18 | Are we entitled by nature and compact to a free participation in the navigation of the Mississippi? |
18 | Are we in a condition to resent or to repel the aggression? |
18 | Are"the wealthy and the well- born,"as they are called, confined to particular spots in the several States? |
18 | But SUSPICION may ask, Why then was it introduced? |
18 | But a right implies a remedy; and where else could the remedy be deposited, than where it is deposited by the Constitution? |
18 | But are they not all that government will admit, and that human prudence can devise? |
18 | But could an appeal be made to lie from the State courts to the subordinate federal judicatories? |
18 | But does it follow because there is a power to lay them that they will actually be laid? |
18 | But even in that case, may he have no object beyond his present station, to which he may sacrifice his independence? |
18 | But have they considered whether a better form could have been substituted? |
18 | But is it a just idea? |
18 | But is not the fact an alarming proof of the danger resulting from a government which does not possess regular powers commensurate to its objects? |
18 | But 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? |
18 | But might not his nomination be overruled? |
18 | But ought not a more direct and explicit provision to have been made in favor of the State courts? |
18 | But the question again recurs, upon what pretense could he be put in possession of a force of that magnitude in time of peace? |
18 | But upon what principle is the discrimination of the places of election to be made, in order to answer the purpose of the meditated preference? |
18 | But 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? |
18 | But what inference can be drawn from this, or what would they amount to, if they were not to be supreme? |
18 | But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? |
18 | But what is to be the object of this capricious partiality in the national councils? |
18 | But what would be the contest in the case we are supposing? |
18 | But where are the means to be found by the President, or the Senate, or both? |
18 | But whether made by one side or the other, would each side enjoy equal advantages on the trial? |
18 | But why is the experiment of an extended republic to be rejected, merely because it may comprise what is new? |
18 | But why, it is asked, might not the same purpose have been accomplished by the instrumentality of the State courts? |
18 | But will not this also be possessed in sufficient degree by a very few intelligent men, diffusively elected within the State? |
18 | But would not her navigation be materially injured by the loss of the important advantage of being her own carrier in that trade? |
18 | By 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? |
18 | By what means is this object attainable? |
18 | Can it be said that the limits of the United States exceed this distance? |
18 | Can not the like knowledge be obtained in the national legislature from the representatives of each State? |
18 | Could the Supreme Court have been relied upon as answering this description? |
18 | Do the monitors deny the reality of her danger? |
18 | Do these fundamental principles require, particularly, that no tax should be levied without the intermediate agency of the States? |
18 | Do they begin by exciting the detestation of the very instruments of their intended usurpations? |
18 | Do they deny the necessity of some speedy and powerful remedy? |
18 | Do they require that the members of the government should derive their appointment from the legislatures, not from the people of the States? |
18 | Do they require that the powers of the government should act on the States, and not immediately on individuals? |
18 | Do they require that, in the establishment of the Constitution, the States should be regarded as distinct and independent sovereigns? |
18 | Do we owe debts to foreigners and to our own citizens contracted in a time of imminent peril for the preservation of our political existence? |
18 | Does the American impose on the Congress appropriations for two years? |
18 | Does the British Constitution restrain the parliamentary discretion to one year? |
18 | For what inducement could the Senate have to concur in a preference in which itself would not be included? |
18 | For why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? |
18 | From what quarter can the danger proceed? |
18 | Had not Congress repeatedly recommended this measure as not inconsistent with the fundamental principles of the Confederation? |
18 | Had 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? |
18 | Has commerce hitherto done anything more than change the objects of war? |
18 | Has it been found that bodies of men act with more rectitude or greater disinterestedness than individuals? |
18 | Has not the spirit of commerce, in many instances, administered new incentives to the appetite, both for the one and for the other? |
18 | Have republics in practice been less addicted to war than monarchies? |
18 | Have they, by some miraculous instinct or foresight, set apart in each of them a common place of residence? |
18 | Have we not had unequivocal experience of its effects in the course of the revolution which we have just accomplished? |
18 | Here another question occurs: What relation would subsist between the national and State courts in these instances of concurrent jurisdiction? |
18 | How can it ever possess either energy or stability, dignity or credit, confidence at home or respectability abroad? |
18 | How can it undertake or execute any liberal or enlarged plans of public good? |
18 | How can its administration be any thing else than a succession of expedients temporizing, impotent, disgraceful? |
18 | How can perfection spring from such materials? |
18 | How can the trade between the different States be duly regulated, without some knowledge of their relative situations in these and other respects? |
18 | How could recoveries be enforced? |
18 | How could the Senate confer a benefit upon the President by the manner of employing their right of negative upon his nominations? |
18 | How could they better gratify this, than by raising a creature of their own to the chief magistracy of the Union? |
18 | How far can they be combined with those other ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense? |
18 | How far can they be combined with those other ingredients which constitute safety in the republican sense? |
18 | How shall we prevent a conflict between charity and judgment? |
18 | How will it be able to avoid a frequent sacrifice of its engagements to immediate necessity? |
18 | How would it be possible to agree upon a rule of apportionment satisfactory to all? |
18 | How, and when, and in what proportion shall aids of men and money be afforded? |
18 | How, in fact, could a majority in the House of Representatives impeach themselves? |
18 | I ask, What are these principles? |
18 | If any question is depending in a State legislature respecting one of the counties, which demands a knowledge of local details, how is it acquired? |
18 | If 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? |
18 | If one was attacked, would the others fly to its succor, and spend their blood and money in its defense? |
18 | If the latter, in what relation will they stand to the national tribunals? |
18 | If there should be an army to be made use of as the engine of despotism, what need of the militia? |
18 | If this be the design of it, who can so properly be the inquisitors for the nation as the representatives of the nation themselves? |
18 | If this be their true interest, have they in fact pursued it? |
18 | If, 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? |
18 | Immediately after this clause follows another in these words:"The President shall have power to fill up?? |
18 | Immediately after this clause follows another in these words:"The President shall have power to fill up?? |
18 | In relation to what objects? |
18 | In what does our security consist against usurpation from that quarter? |
18 | In what manner is this influence to be exerted? |
18 | Is a bill of rights essential to liberty? |
18 | Is a law proposed concerning private debts? |
18 | Is a violent and unnatural decrease in the value of land a symptom of national distress? |
18 | Is an indefinite power to raise money dangerous in the hands of the federal government? |
18 | Is an indefinite power to raise troops dangerous? |
18 | Is another object of a bill of rights to define certain immunities and modes of proceeding, which are relative to personal and private concerns? |
18 | Is commerce of importance to national wealth? |
18 | Is it a fair comparison? |
18 | Is it here that suspicion rests her charge? |
18 | Is it improper and unsafe to intermix the different powers of government in the same body of men? |
18 | Is it not designed as a method of NATIONAL INQUEST into the conduct of public men? |
18 | Is it not( we may ask these projectors in politics) the true interest of all nations to cultivate the same benevolent and philosophic spirit? |
18 | Is it particularly dangerous to give the keys of the treasury, and the command of the army, into the same hands? |
18 | Is it possible that foreign nations can either respect or confide in such a government? |
18 | Is it possible that the people of America will longer consent to trust their honor, their happiness, their safety, on so precarious a foundation? |
18 | Is it probable that such a combination would exist at all? |
18 | Is it supported by REASON? |
18 | Is it to be presumed that any other State, at the same or any other given period, will be exempt from them? |
18 | Is it to be presumed, that at any future septennial epoch the same State will be free from parties? |
18 | Is it true that force and right are necessarily on the same side in republican governments? |
18 | Is not a want of co- operation the infallible consequence of such a system? |
18 | Is not the love of wealth as domineering and enterprising a passion as that of power or glory? |
18 | Is not the power of the governor, in this article, on a calculation of political consequences, greater than that of the President? |
18 | Is not this the true light in which it ought to be regarded? |
18 | Is private credit the friend and patron of industry? |
18 | Is public credit an indispensable resource in time of public danger? |
18 | Is respectability in the eyes of foreign powers a safeguard against foreign encroachments? |
18 | Is the CONSEQUENCE from this doctrine admissible? |
18 | Is the administration of justice between the citizens of the same State the proper department of the local governments? |
18 | Is the aggregate power of the general government greater than ought to have been vested in it? |
18 | Is the danger apprehended from the other branches of the federal government? |
18 | Is the doctrine warranted by FACTS? |
18 | Is the importation of slaves permitted by the new Constitution for twenty years? |
18 | Is the power of declaring war necessary? |
18 | Is the power of raising armies and equipping fleets necessary? |
18 | Is this the way in which usurpers stride to dominion over a numerous and enlightened nation? |
18 | Is this to be exclusive, or are those courts to possess a concurrent jurisdiction? |
18 | It 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? |
18 | It has been asked, what is meant by"cases arising under the Constitution,"in contradiction from those"arising under the laws of the United States"? |
18 | It may be asked, Why, then, could not a time have been fixed in the Constitution? |
18 | It may be asked, perhaps, what has so long kept this disjointed machine from falling entirely to pieces? |
18 | Law is defined to be a rule of action; but how can that be a rule, which is little known, and less fixed? |
18 | May he have no connections, no friends, for whom he may sacrifice it? |
18 | Must it of necessity be admitted that this power is infringed, so long as a part of the old articles remain? |
18 | Or are they the inflammatory ravings of incendiaries or distempered enthusiasts? |
18 | Or shall we say they may be continued as long as the danger which occasioned their being raised continues? |
18 | Or to what purpose would it be established, in reference to one branch of the legislature, if it could not be extended to the other? |
18 | Or why is it suggested that three or four confederacies would be better than one? |
18 | Or, 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? |
18 | Shall domestic manufactures be encouraged, and in what degree, by restrictions on foreign manufactures? |
18 | Shall it be a week, a month, a year? |
18 | Shall the Union be constituted the guardian of the common safety? |
18 | Should the people of America divide themselves into three or four nations, would not the same thing happen? |
18 | The remaining inquiry is: Does it also combine the requisites to safety, in a republican sense, a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility? |
18 | The same house will possess the sole right of instituting impeachments: is not this a complete counterbalance to that of determining them? |
18 | The true question to be decided then is, whether the smallness of the number, as a temporary regulation, be dangerous to the public liberty? |

28556 | How can she impart a free spirit when her own is servile? |
28556 | How can that form of government be called republican in which one- half the people are forever deprived of all participation in its affairs? |
28556 | How can you expect them to develop into patriotic American statesmen? |
28556 | How has woman''s work as county superintendent impressed other educators? |
28556 | How shall they estimate the part we bear in the unbroken line of the nation''s progress? |
28556 | How so? |
28556 | How was this to be accomplished? |
28556 | I ask you, therefore, for the sake of your own question, do you think it wise to pick my apples now? |
28556 | I would add,"What can be more universal than the rights of woman?" |
28556 | If any woman shall ask it, who shall deny it because another woman does not ask it? |
28556 | If he had, we usually troubled him no further; if he had not, we asked,"Can you vote for woman suffrage?" |
28556 | If it is not a crime to be a woman, why are women subjected to unequal payment with men for the same service? |
28556 | If 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? |
28556 | If so, why not do it at once? |
28556 | If the United States has no voters of its own creation in the States, what are these men? |
28556 | If there is nothing new to be said in favor of suffrage for women, is there anything new to be urged against it? |
28556 | If they are more efficient as teachers is it not fair to presume that they would excel as committees? |
28556 | If they are really eligible, then why not have them selected and appointed? |
28556 | If they can be elected to that office, is it proper to say they shall have no voice in the elections? |
28556 | If woman asks for the ballot shall man deny it? |
28556 | If woman may fitly determine this question, for what question of public policy is she unfit? |
28556 | If you bring legislation here, what will you bring? |
28556 | In 1851 an order was introduced asking"whether any legislation was necessary concerning the wills of married women?" |
28556 | In asking for a voice in the government under which we live, have we been pursuing a shadow for forty years? |
28556 | In case it should become necessary, may I rely on your valuable services? |
28556 | In closing, I have only to ask, is there no man here present who appreciates the emergencies of this hour? |
28556 | In closing, he said:"But what think you, sisters, of the dangers that threaten the republic? |
28556 | In fact, unless you show that the exercise of your alleged right will be useful, can you logically conclude that you have any? |
28556 | In 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? |
28556 | In seeking political power, are we abdicating that social throne where they tell us our influence is unbounded? |
28556 | In the course of their conversation Professor Dwight said;"Do you think girls know enough to study law?" |
28556 | In the first place-- accepting that prophecy as true-- why will women not marry? |
28556 | In thus affirming Mrs. McFarland''s right to marry Mr. Richardson, has the Supreme Court of the United States sanctioned free- love? |
28556 | In view of the terrible corruption of our politics, people ask, can we maintain universal suffrage? |
28556 | In view of these facts, does it not appear that if there is any one distinctively feminine characteristic, it is the mother- instinct for government? |
28556 | In_ The Revolution_ of March 26, 1868, we find the following: It is often asked, would you make women police officers? |
28556 | Is it a matter of regret to us that they should have these aspirations? |
28556 | Is 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? |
28556 | Is it not time that this aristocracy of sex should be overthrown? |
28556 | Is it possible that the editor regards such a relation of protest and disgust as consistent with the unity of Christian marriage? |
28556 | Is not liberty as sweet to her as to him? |
28556 | Is not the same principle involved in both cases? |
28556 | Is she then half owner of the land? |
28556 | Is the Republican party therefore"low company"? |
28556 | Is the ballot more precious than the soul of your child? |
28556 | Is the meaning this, that all citizens shall have the right to vote, or simply that citizenship shall be the basis of suffrage? |
28556 | Is the oppression to last forever? |
28556 | Is there any remedy? |
28556 | Is 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? |
28556 | Is this all woman is to do? |
28556 | Is to be a wife and mother, and nothing else, the sole end and aim of woman? |
28556 | It has recently been asked in congressional debates,"What is the grand idea of the centennial?" |
28556 | It is a pertinent question now, shall all other contradictory principles be retained in the constitution until they, too, are expounded by civil war? |
28556 | It was impossible, he was out, and what could they do? |
28556 | Just here, in imagination, is heard the question,"How much help could we expect from women on financial questions?" |
28556 | MARY 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? |
28556 | May 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? |
28556 | May this not be one reason why the Swedish legislature has been so liberal toward women? |
28556 | Men of Melrose, Concord and Malden, why persecute us? |
28556 | Miss 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? |
28556 | More than that, as I said before, if there is any tribunal that could give undivided time and dignified attention, is it not this committee? |
28556 | Mr. BAYARD: Is it in order for me to move the reference of the subject to the Committee on the Judiciary? |
28556 | Mr. HARRIS: Did not the senator from Missouri[ Mr. Vest] offer an amendment? |
28556 | Mr. HOAR: Will the senator allow me to interrupt him for a moment? |
28556 | Mr. INGALLS: What is the regular order? |
28556 | Mr. JONES of Florida: I ask for information how long the morning hour is to extend? |
28556 | Mr. MCMILLIN: Then you have no opinion beyond his decision? |
28556 | Mr. MCMILLIN: Will the gentleman permit me to ask him a question? |
28556 | Mr. MCMILLIN: Would you not, as a parliamentarian, concede that this does change the existing rules of the House? |
28556 | Mr. SPRINGER: Can you have a committee without a rule of the House providing for it? |
28556 | Mr. SPRINGER: Does the Chair hold that the making of a new rule is not a change of the existing rules? |
28556 | Mr. SPRINGER: Is this not a new rule? |
28556 | Mr. SPRINGER: It is not? |
28556 | Mr. SPRINGER: What does the Chair decide? |
28556 | Mrs. Blake spoke on the question,"Is it a Crime to be a Woman?" |
28556 | Mrs. Duniway, will you not favor us with a speech?" |
28556 | My theme was,"What has Christianity done for Woman?" |
28556 | N. J. Burton, said:"Has not this convention been a success? |
28556 | Need we tell you where to find this master- hand which has planned so wisely? |
28556 | Now the question is,"Will the women vote for this man, if we nominate him?" |
28556 | Of what use was woman in the ranks of any political party, with no vote outside the caucus? |
28556 | On the other hand, what is centralization? |
28556 | On what authority are women taxed while unrepresented? |
28556 | On what just ground is discrimination made between men and women? |
28556 | On what theory is it less dangerous to defraud twenty million women of their inalienable rights than four million negroes? |
28556 | One day a dude accosted Miss Bridget on the road, and said, in the usual manner:"Beg pardon, but may I walk with you?" |
28556 | One man asked me, though not rudely,"Who is cooking your husband''s dinner?" |
28556 | Or is there not other work in God''s universe which some woman may possibly be called upon to do? |
28556 | Or 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? |
28556 | Ought it not rather to be a subject of satisfaction and of pride? |
28556 | Our course was somewhat as follows: On the approach of a voter, we would ask him,"have you voted?" |
28556 | Perhaps the women would be lenient to you( the sexes do favor each other), but would you be satisfied? |
28556 | Polling places were gaily decorated; banners floated to the breeze, bearing suggestive mottoes:"Are Women Citizens?" |
28556 | Said I,"Why do you pay your tax?" |
28556 | Says the editor of the Boston_ Index_: What is local self- government? |
28556 | Shaking my finger at the clergymen, I exclaimed:"How_ dare_ you make such charges against the mothers of men? |
28556 | Shall I describe this box, twelve inches long and six wide, and originally a grape- box? |
28556 | Shall it not be done? |
28556 | Shall it then be recorded of us that the demand and the protest of the women were not made in vain? |
28556 | Shall we now hold that it can not apply to black men? |
28556 | She has more privileges than she could vote herself into,"says Mr. H. Has she, indeed? |
28556 | Since woman has proved faithful over a few things, need you fear to summon her to your side to assist you in executing the will of the nation? |
28556 | Some may say,"But what is to be the end?" |
28556 | Standing over him, the warrior asked,"Diogenes, what can I do for you?" |
28556 | Suppose many women would not avail themselves of such a function, are those with higher, or other views, to be therefore kept in tutelage? |
28556 | Suppose the court should exclude women, but not on account of sex, then what is their remedy? |
28556 | Suppose they are; have not the masses of all oppressed classes been apathetic and indifferent until partial success crowned the enthusiasm of the few? |
28556 | Ten minutes were given Miss Anthony to plead the cause of 10,000,000--yes, 20,000,000 citizens of this republic(? |
28556 | The PRESIDENT_ pro tempore_: Are there further"concurrent or other resolutions"? |
28556 | The PRESIDENT_ pro tempore_: Does the Chair understand that the senator from Missouri has offered an amendment? |
28556 | The PRESIDENT_ pro tempore_: Is the Senate ready for the question on the motion of the senator from Delaware? |
28556 | The PRESIDENT_ pro tempore_: Is there objection? |
28556 | The VICE- PRESIDENT: The question is, Will the Senate agree to the resolution? |
28556 | The importance of this education to the future-- who can measure it? |
28556 | The method of reasoning is the same, but it do n''t sound quite fair and honorable, does it? |
28556 | The only question was, would the ballot cure these wrongs? |
28556 | The power to fight? |
28556 | The questions presented by the demurrer were:_ First_--Is the defendant eligible to this office, she being neither a practicing nor a learned lawyer? |
28556 | The territorial legislature of Utah conferred upon the females of that territory the right of suffrage, and how have they exercised that right? |
28556 | There are inconveniences and cares in all possessions; but who argues that therefore they should be abandoned? |
28556 | There are many men who do not value their citizenship; shall other men therefore be deprived of the ballot? |
28556 | They are citizens, they are tax- payers; they bear the burdens of government-- why should they be denied the rights of citizens? |
28556 | They have sat as jurors, and have the laws been less faithfully and justly administered, and criminals less promptly and adequately punished? |
28556 | They replied,"What of it? |
28556 | They wore white ribbon badges on which was printed,"Are we citizens?" |
28556 | This raised a delicate question, for how could women take part in celebrating the triumphs of their country whose laws disfranchised them? |
28556 | This we say to all who are contending for liberty, for what is liberty if the claims of women be disregarded? |
28556 | Thus, suppose the question to be,"Is the family or the individual the political basis of the State of Connecticut?" |
28556 | Underhill, Sarah E., i, 308--sketch of, i, 313 United States a nation? |
28556 | Was ever such sublime womanly heroism and self- sacrifice before known? |
28556 | Was ever such worth of culture, such wealth of womanhood, laid on the altar of country and humanity? |
28556 | We may doubt it is policy for women to vote, but who can draw the line and say that naturally she has not a right to do so? |
28556 | We might just as well ask,"Is the climate cold in a State?" |
28556 | Well, I have been examining a little into the conduct of those ladies who do stay at home so much, and what do I find? |
28556 | Well, what of it? |
28556 | Were all you men disfranchised because that class or sect up in New York would not vote? |
28556 | Were his dreams of freedom less real because the stolid masses were not awake to their significance? |
28556 | Were not her talents and virtues too much confined to private, social and domestic life? |

28556 | What more could one expect from such a disturber of public peace? |
28556 | What other city on this continent can present such a showing? |

28556 | What would woman do with the ballot if she had it? |
28556 | What_ is_ a vote? |
28556 | What_ shall_ we say to them? |
28556 | When any man expresses doubt to me as to the use that I or any other woman might make of the ballot if we had it, my answer is, What is that to you? |
28556 | When we say children, do we not mean girls as well as boys? |
28556 | When we say parents, do we not mean mothers as well as fathers? |
28556 | When we say people, do we not mean women as well as men? |
28556 | When will the verdict be rendered and what will it be? |

28039 | But what is we to do? 28039 But would you have woman hold elections like ours"? |
28039 | But,I said,"did n''t he know how black you were before he married you?" |
28039 | But,said Ting,"what is the special object of your preaching Christianity?" |
28039 | Can you let me stay anywhere? |

28039 | Is she to be taxed in South Carolina to support the aristocracy? |
28039 | Shall Maria pay a tax and have no voice? |
28039 | Shall this softer, gentler, more fragile creature be the equal of the ruder, stouter man? |

28039 | Well,said I,"why do n''t he support the children?" |
28039 | What does it mean? 28039 What have you done?" |
28039 | What next? |
28039 | What relations? |
28039 | Why has he left you? |
28039 | Will you walk into my parlor, said the spider to the fly? |
28039 | Would you have a woman participate in the scenes preliminary to an election? |
28039 | ''Who has we but the Lord and you?'' |

28039 | ..."What then, is the next step,"he asks,"in the progress of reconstruction?" |
28039 | 2. Who may act as attorneys? |
28039 | 7: Secondly, who are capable of becoming agents? |
28039 | A LADY: I want to ask the lady who just spoke if the women of the Revolution found it necessary to form Loyal Leagues? |
28039 | A LADY: If the men would give themselves, why not freely? |
28039 | A 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?" |
28039 | A VOICE: Allow me to inquire if men have a right to vote on this question? |
28039 | A VOICE:--Is that not all true about black women? |
28039 | A VOICE:--What are they doing? |
28039 | A 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? |
28039 | A lady of society asked me,"Are you in favor of woman''s rights?" |
28039 | A lady says to me,"What more can be expected of women if men fail to some extent in our military affairs?" |
28039 | A 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?" |
28039 | Again, if the right to share in the joint government is not inherent, from whence does it come? |
28039 | Again, in the trial of the inspectors of election, why were both judge and jurymen so merciful? |
28039 | Amendment apply to her? |
28039 | Amendment declaring that it shall not be denied on account of either race, color, or previous condition of servitude, to be regarded? |
28039 | Amendment speaks of all persons, etc., and declares them to be citizens, it means all male persons and unmarried females? |
28039 | Amendment, are qualified to hold office? |
28039 | Amendment, by what possible authority are they voting by hundreds of thousands throughout this country? |
28039 | Amendment, the privilege of earning a livelihood by practicing at the bar of a judicial court? |
28039 | Amendment? |
28039 | Amendment? |
28039 | Amendment? |
28039 | Amendment? |
28039 | Amendments secured suffrage to women as well as to colored men, who would be willing to admit that they desired to obtain suffrage through trickery? |
28039 | Amendments, 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? |
28039 | Among these is the question,"Are women equal with men?" |
28039 | And I say to the oldest daughter,"Can you shoot?" |
28039 | And are there any intrinsic necessary conditions that go to constitute liberty in society? |
28039 | And do you know why? |
28039 | And has not also the moral and spiritual nature its inalienable rights? |
28039 | And how shall provision be made for us unless we make it ourselves by voting for it? |
28039 | And how shall we acquire this unless we are taught? |
28039 | And how shall we be taught unless provision is made for us? |
28039 | And if a man may divest himself of this right, what right is sacred from his renunciation? |
28039 | And 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? |
28039 | And if exemptions which appertain to males may be recognized as valid, why not similar exemptions for like reason when applied to females? |
28039 | And if it be either of these, shall we say that education has unsphered and unsexed her? |
28039 | And 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? |
28039 | And if not, is there any reason why she should not do directly what she does indirectly? |
28039 | And if suffrage was necessarily one of the absolute rights of citizenship, why confine the operation of the limitation to male inhabitants? |
28039 | And if that be so, how can their admission rightfully depend upon the majority? |
28039 | And is not their political subjection as absolute as was that of the African slaves? |
28039 | And 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? |
28039 | And now, let me ask you, what are these men sent here for and who sent them? |
28039 | And now, may a woman be an artist? |
28039 | And shall an American woman shrink from her duty when there is so much power in her hands for good? |
28039 | And shall it not also be pre- eminently so with woman? |
28039 | And 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? |
28039 | And should not the ballot- box be as respectable, and as respected, and as sacred as the church? |
28039 | And the great question of to- day is, How shall work find leisure, and in leisure knowledge and refinement? |
28039 | And upon what principle ought they to be asked? |
28039 | And what grew there? |
28039 | And what has the great little Napoleon done? |
28039 | And when I say,"Is it so?" |
28039 | And where can there be a virtuous and happy home unless a Christian marriage shall have consecrated it? |
28039 | And who does not know that they govern us? |
28039 | And who, by common consent, is the educator of the world? |
28039 | And why now, and why not ten, fifteen, or twenty years ago? |
28039 | And why should not even Republican government take to itself other modes of administration without infraction of its fundamental liberties? |
28039 | And why so? |
28039 | And why? |
28039 | And why? |
28039 | And will our force all fail, having done that? |
28039 | And would the gentleman also contend that a lack of power to cut off a thing not in existence also creates the thing? |

28039 | Are not all our chief possessions held in common? |
28039 | Are not these interests equal to those of the negro and of his race? |
28039 | Are not women as much interested in good government as men? |
28039 | Are not women people? |
28039 | Are not"the truths as self- evident"to- day to the intelligent public as they were a century ago? |
28039 | Are politicians so pure, politics so exalted, the polls so immaculate, men so moral, that woman would pollute the ballot and contaminate the voters? |
28039 | Are 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? |
28039 | Are the men alone to say? |
28039 | Are 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? |
28039 | Are there seventeen students in Harvard College who take mathematical astronomy, do you think?" |
28039 | Are there two laws in this country, one for the negro, and another for woman? |
28039 | Are these to be excluded from the polls? |
28039 | Are they capacities merely? |
28039 | Are they capacities merely? |
28039 | Are they degraded? |
28039 | Are they lacking in the necessary intelligence? |

28039 | Are they not also rights? |
28039 | Are they not shown to be subjects of the other half, who are the sovereigns? |
28039 | Are we and future generations to be ever imprisoned in the uncouth alternative of monarchical or democratic forms as they now obtain? |
28039 | Are we only a handful? |
28039 | Are we sure that he, once entrenched in all his inalienable rights, may not be an added power to hold us at bay? |
28039 | Are we to have no progress in the modes of government among men? |

28039 | Are women politically oppressed that they need the ballot for their protection? |

28039 | Are you to force prostitution and wrong upon those people by these unjust laws? |
28039 | Are you willing to believe, women, that your girls are sixteen times less valuable than the boys? |
28039 | As I asked one of my friends one day,"What are you rebelling for? |
28039 | As Milton so grandly says in Paradise Lost: What though the field be lost? |
28039 | As capital has ever ground labor to the dust, is it just and generous to disfranchise the poor and ignorant because they are so? |
28039 | As to her not being protected, what lady has ever said that her rights were not protected because she had not the right of suffrage? |
28039 | At that time, in an article entitled,"Can a Judge Direct a Verdict of Guilty? |
28039 | Ay, 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? |
28039 | Aye, more, that a principle He has made true, it is not safe not to apply? |
28039 | Because a man is a father, must he needs be nothing else? |
28039 | Because it is not a natural right, is it any less unjust to deprive a large part of the people of it? |
28039 | Because some women are mothers, shall all women concentrate every thought in that direction? |
28039 | Because the freedman has that talisman in his hands which the politician is looking after? |
28039 | Because they have learned our Constitution? |
28039 | Before the art of printing, were all men fools? |
28039 | But 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?" |
28039 | But are women, who are not infants, ever included in this category? |
28039 | But at what age has any nation of any period or place become wise, rich, or even strong; to say nothing of good? |
28039 | But did any revolution or any special trouble grow out of this recognition of woman''s right? |
28039 | But does this concession belittle the importance of woman''s political rights? |

28039 | But how was it to be obtained? |
28039 | But 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? |
28039 | But if we are to have a new general in his place, we may ask, what has become of Sigel? |
28039 | But is a self- made woman less honorable than a self- made man? |
28039 | But is it enough, if the work for which the war is_ now_ prosecuted is not accomplished? |
28039 | But is it true that the equality of man and woman would not be useful to society? |
28039 | But it is asked, why make this disturbance? |
28039 | But it is asked: What do you want of the ballot? |
28039 | But it may be asked: If this be so, why was not the question sooner raised? |
28039 | But it may be said, if the States had no power to abridge the right of suffrage, why the necessity of prohibiting them? |
28039 | But suppose that a majority do not want the ballot, how does that affect the rights of the minority who do want it? |
28039 | But the question remains, What relief can be granted? |
28039 | But 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? |
28039 | But 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?" |
28039 | But what are compromises, and what is laid down in those constitutions? |
28039 | But what does election day do for him? |
28039 | But what great reformatory movement was ever treated any better at the outset? |
28039 | But what is an organ played with the feet, if all the upper part is left unused? |
28039 | But what political agency has righted so many? |
28039 | But what practical use will the ballot be to women? |
28039 | But what put the dram- bottle out of the home? |
28039 | But what was the result to the country? |
28039 | But what were the rights? |
28039 | But what word can I speak that will not be better spoken? |
28039 | But 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? |
28039 | But when her duties called her there, who ever found her unfaithful to her trust? |
28039 | But when they came to do that, they then asked themselves,"Where are our good right hands?" |
28039 | But when was the consent of woman ever asked to one single act on all the statute books? |
28039 | But who ever heard of a right being conferred by omission? |
28039 | But who shall decide as to"spears?" |
28039 | But who would be willing to banish from the literary world to- day such names as Browning, Hemans, Stowe, and Gage? |
28039 | But why exclude women? |
28039 | But would you, seriously, I am asked, would you drag women down into the mire of politics? |
28039 | But yet I will descend a step lower; and doth not our law, temporal and spiritual, admit of women to be executrixes and administratrixes? |
28039 | But, shall we have a woman for President? |
28039 | But, the objectors continue, would you have women hold office? |
28039 | But, to look at it seriously, what is the defect of this statement? |
28039 | But,"said Sojourner,"where is Theodore Tilton''s paper?" |
28039 | By Judge Selden:_ Q._ Did they advise the registry or did they not? |

28039 | Can it be said that the people acquire their privileges from the instrument that they themselves establish? |
28039 | Can it be that any colored person feels like that?" |
28039 | Can men do less than empty their pockets for the good of the race? |

28039 | Can you think of any model so good as the divine model set before us in the family? |
28039 | Could a State disfranchise and deprive of the right to a vote all citizens who have red hair; or all citizens under six feet in height? |
28039 | Could ideas of justice, and liberty, and equality be more grandly and beautifully expressed than in the preamble to our Federal Constitution? |

28039 | can there be an extreme view, when one is considering individual freedom? |
28039 | or Mrs. Livermore? |
28039 | or Mrs. Stanton? |
28039 | or expired at last in sunsets of serenity and glory, and been embalmed and enshrined in the tears and gratitude of mankind? |
28039 | or has achieved proportionally, so long a life? |
28039 | or not? |
28039 | or why woman as a student, a wife, a mother, a widow, and a citizen, should be held at such a disadvantage? |
28039 | to exalt ignorance above education, vice above virtue, brutality and barbarism above refinement and religion? |
28039 | to 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"? |
28039 | what came of all these dark forebodings of timid men? |
28039 | when he classes adults as fully capable of exercising an enlightened judgment as himself with infants? |
28039 | which commands most respect? |
28039 | why do n''t these brothers of ours call us, the reserves, into action? |
28039 | why do n''t they call the reserves into action? |
40851 | Is there any alternative,says this printer,"between an abandonment of the constitution and resistance?" |
40851 | What 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? |
40851 | 218; amendment will defeat the bill, 218; shall the territory remain defenceless? |
40851 | 453; all the evidence necessary should be obtained, 453; extraordinary resolution-- was the President clerk of the court? |
40851 | 679; what evidence that the Intendant is not authorized by the Spanish or French Government? |
40851 | 681; what is the state of things? |
40851 | 69; this country not equal to support a navy, 69; how can such a navy, be manned? |
40851 | A question was then taken in the following words: Does the matter so communicated require secrecy? |
40851 | Admitting it, I asked then, and I ask now, with what propriety it could be used, even in that sense, in the resolution referred to? |
40851 | Admitting there was such a law, what could the House do? |
40851 | Admitting they could hold it, what security would they have for their commerce? |
40851 | After knowing these facts, will gentlemen have the hardihood to call this a hasty measure? |
40851 | Again, if such a Navy were created, how was it to be manned? |
40851 | Against whom they were to be employed? |
40851 | Against whom, then, are we to arm? |
40851 | Although they may differ in political opinion, as many of us do, is that any reason we should attempt to destroy their reputation? |
40851 | Although this all might be mere matter of opinion, would it not come within the meaning of the law in question? |
40851 | Am I so to consider it? |
40851 | And are gentlemen to be here accused for exercising the constitutional right of election according to the conviction of their own judgments? |
40851 | And are not the emigrations composed of such as require the prompt assistance of the law, to preserve among them regularity? |
40851 | And are not these men property? |
40851 | And are the maxims of experience to become false, when applied to our fate? |
40851 | And are the people to be told that this is a trifling question? |
40851 | And are they pledged for the payment of the public debt? |
40851 | And are they, therefore, in this House to be confounded with each other? |
40851 | And are we not in war? |
40851 | And are we to be told from the house- tops, that the only use of elections is to promote, not public good, but public mischief? |
40851 | And can it be justifiable in the eyes of men, who believe there is nothing so precious or important as national honor? |
40851 | And can there be a greater, a more patriotic purpose than this? |
40851 | And could a potent State be alarmed by the unfounded claim of a single person? |
40851 | And do the citizens of the United States, he asked, wish their First Magistrate to be placed in this situation? |
40851 | And does not the doctrine of our opponents prove that, at every change of administration, the number of your judges are probably to be doubled? |
40851 | And during the time that Holland was separated from the dominion of Spain, was war declared in consequence of any nation trading with Holland? |
40851 | And has England gained nothing by the war? |
40851 | And 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? |
40851 | And here, sir, let me ask, are not these privileges all that are necessary? |
40851 | And how can the truth of things which can not be proved by evidence, be determined by evidence? |
40851 | And how has he proved this? |
40851 | And how is it to be effected? |
40851 | And if granted, why not grant it without assigning reasons, as well as with assigning them? |
40851 | And if so, could any thing afford a more lasting cause for war than an act of this kind? |
40851 | And if the money is to be raised by taxes, to what objects can we turn our attention? |
40851 | And if they are, does that committee mean to impose upon this House, as upon the people of some parts of the Union? |
40851 | And if they can hear in them, can not the stenographers also? |
40851 | And 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? |
40851 | And if they have no objection, why go into a Committee of the Whole; which, if gone into, must be with closed doors? |
40851 | And if they violate the law, where can we apply for redress but to our courts of justice? |
40851 | And if this be important in the general course of things, is it not, under present circumstances, indispensable? |
40851 | And if to either sum, can we with propriety dispense with the internal taxes? |
40851 | And 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? |
40851 | And is not the tenure as completely impaired thereby, as if the other had been taken away also? |
40851 | And is not this most proper? |
40851 | And is the irritation consequent upon the laying of taxes worn off? |
40851 | And may they not, instead of giving their judges two thousand dollars a year, give them two hundred thousand? |
40851 | And must the Executive in every such case make a new appointment? |
40851 | And now that we have gained it, shall we fall from our honor? |
40851 | And on the question on the second division, to wit: Whether so much as provides that the third article shall be expunged, shall stand? |
40851 | And ought a man to be permitted to slander the Government and not an individual? |
40851 | And ought his descendants to be more hardly dealt with because their father had the generosity and magnanimity not to make the demand? |
40851 | And shall not we, as a nation, thank him for keeping us from a state of war? |
40851 | And shall not we, with our great and increasing resources, and the peculiar advantages of our situation, be able to effect still more? |
40851 | And shall we hesitate? |
40851 | And shall we now, when there is no right reason for it, lay hold of the public Treasury, and lavish away$ 14,000? |
40851 | And shall we, for this reason, monopolize a revenue upon it? |
40851 | And then, Is there a Seminary so near the spot contemplated, as to make it hostile in this House to encourage this University? |
40851 | And though we were a commercial Republic, was it not necessary to take care of the agricultural interest? |
40851 | And upon what terms are we to cope with the powers of Europe with respect to any navy? |
40851 | And was Rigaud punished by France for thus exercising his power or not? |
40851 | And 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? |
40851 | And was that salary, he asked, near so valuable now as it was when fixed? |
40851 | And was this, he asked, a subject of regret? |
40851 | And what are these cases? |
40851 | And what courts? |
40851 | And what have they got to do? |
40851 | And what have they said? |
40851 | And what object or consideration more pleasing than this can be presented to the human mind? |
40851 | And what objection could there be to the inquiry? |
40851 | And what was all this power that so much alarmed the gentleman from Massachusetts? |
40851 | And what was the object? |
40851 | And what will be the result of this? |
40851 | And what would be the remedy if he should refuse to comply? |
40851 | And what, he asked, did these expenses amount to? |
40851 | And what, in either case, would become of this boasted protection of the people against themselves? |
40851 | And when we all agree in this, whence the necessity of calling up the animosities of party? |
40851 | And whether help can be extended by law to the one, and consistently refused to the other? |
40851 | And whether it had not been in the contemplation of that gentleman, as well as others, to pay as much as they could yearly? |
40851 | And whether none of them in the Legislature never voted for the resolutions about the western land, nor about post- offices and post- roads? |
40851 | And whether the Executive is not hastening it? |
40851 | And who are the judges? |
40851 | And why is all this to be done? |
40851 | And why shall our judges not ride the circuits? |
40851 | And why were they told this? |
40851 | And will gentlemen act upon this as a sufficient reason for their conduct? |
40851 | And would any gentleman say it was not right to defend our vessels against pirates? |
40851 | And would any one say that it would be proper to rise without providing a military defence for the country? |
40851 | And would it not be extraordinary, he asked, if, before they received these statements, they were to appoint a committee of inquiry? |
40851 | And would not the opening of intercourse with such a place, by relieving the distresses of France, defeat the original intention of the law? |
40851 | And would this, he asked, be doing honor to the Republican Government? |
40851 | And would you take up arms with a millstone hanging around your neck? |
40851 | And yet, after being told of these designs, shall we sit with our arms folded, and make no defence? |
40851 | And, because Congress had a right to enact such a law, would gentlemen say it was for the benefit of trade? |
40851 | And, if Mr. Gerry had powers to treat, how could it be criminal to say that he might treat? |
40851 | And, on motion to agree thereto, a motion was made for the previous question, to wit:"Shall the main question be now put?" |
40851 | And, on the question on the first division, to wit: Whether so much as provides that the second article shall be expunged, shall stand? |
40851 | And, on the question on the fourth division, to wit: Whether that part shall stand which provides a limitation of time to its duration? |
40851 | And, on the question on the third division, to wit: Whether that part shall stand which restrains it from operating against former treaties? |
40851 | And, on the question,"Shall these words stand?" |
40851 | And, on the question,"Will the Senate advise and consent to the adoption of this article?" |
40851 | And, said Mr. G., do we really rely upon this? |
40851 | And, whether to deny it, in this instance, would not be to interfere with that provision of the constitution? |
40851 | Any thing to ruin the country? |
40851 | Are a majority of this House so degraded, so mean, so destitute of honor or morality, as to act at the nod of a President? |
40851 | Are gentlemen disposed to wage war in support of this principle? |
40851 | Are gentlemen then afraid to trust to the discretion of the President? |
40851 | Are gentlemen unwilling to indemnify for such losses? |
40851 | Are gentlemen unwilling to trust themselves, lest their own consciences should compel them to an act of justice? |
40851 | Are gentlemen''s opinions and language thus to be circumscribed? |
40851 | Are honorable gentlemen prepared to accept peace on such terms? |
40851 | Are not its members acting under a responsibility to public opinion, which can and will check their aberrations from duty? |
40851 | Are not the jurisdictions of those courts separate and distinct? |
40851 | Are not those who voted against it fairly to be considered as enemies to the law? |
40851 | Are not, said Mr. G., these papers important to the House? |
40851 | Are not, said Mr. O., the galleries constructed for the express purpose of hearing? |
40851 | Are our arguments to fly from the mouths of our cannon? |
40851 | Are our means equal to hers? |
40851 | Are there any words in that instrument which give the President expressly the power of removing any officer at pleasure? |
40851 | Are there words in the English language more explicit? |
40851 | Are these approaches to revolution and Jacobinic domination, to be observed with the eye of meek submission? |
40851 | Are they apprehensive lest he should communicate that which is improper? |
40851 | Are they not intended for the good people of the United States? |
40851 | Are they paid exclusively by the wealthy and the luxurious part of the community? |
40851 | Are they prepared to repeal the act to which I now refer? |
40851 | Are they willing to let it rest, and lose it? |
40851 | Are we bound hand and foot that we must be witnesses of these deadly thrusts at our liberty? |
40851 | Are we never to be clear of these alarms? |
40851 | Are we then to resort to the ultimate reason of kings? |
40851 | Are we to be the unresisting spectators of these exertions to destroy all that we hold dear? |
40851 | Are we to be told by the gentleman from Virginia, there is no occasion for this call; that we have information enough? |
40851 | Are we to form an exception to the general principles of nature, and to all the examples of history? |
40851 | Are we to legislate for succeeding ages? |
40851 | Are we to see all these acts practised against the repose of our country, and remain passive? |
40851 | Are we to suppose he is unwilling to inform us what they are? |
40851 | Are we to suppose the Executive has not been vigilant in ascertaining the circumstances attending this event? |
40851 | Are we valiant? |
40851 | Are we wise? |
40851 | Are you certain that they will wait the end of negotiation? |
40851 | As 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? |
40851 | At 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? |
40851 | At that day, did we hastily go to war? |
40851 | Attacked and insulted as we had been, do we now, asked Mr. D., call for war? |
40851 | Because they have been once injured with impunity, shall we turn our backs upon them for ever? |
40851 | Because, as our opponents would fain have it believed, we are insensible to the vast interest affected by the obstruction of the Mississippi? |
40851 | Besides, has he the power to do so, in the manner then suggested by the gentleman from Virginia by taking possession of New Orleans? |
40851 | Besides, said Mr. B., were the rates of compensation, when first established, established upon this principle? |
40851 | Besides, said Mr. G., could it be expected that six or ten frigates could convoy all our vessels? |
40851 | Besides, what is the population of the Southern States? |
40851 | Bound to obey what law? |
40851 | Brought to this dilemma, said he, which side will you take? |
40851 | But I ask gentlemen to be candid, and tell me whether they are at this time equally divided? |
40851 | But an extreme case is put; a bill of attainder is passed; are the judges to support the constitution or the law? |
40851 | But are printers at liberty to tell lies about our transactions? |
40851 | But are we always to act by precedent? |
40851 | But are you not the guardians of the public treasure? |
40851 | But by what energy is the constitution to be destroyed? |
40851 | But can it be necessary to give this Senate any other assurance than my word? |
40851 | But 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? |
40851 | But can you examine each distinct case? |
40851 | But could America lay up her ships, and say she would open her ports to all nations? |
40851 | But did the framers of the constitution stop here? |
40851 | But did the gentleman suppose that a war with France could be flattering to pride or ambition? |
40851 | But does this bill, said Mr. S., contemplate any such thing? |
40851 | But gentlemen say, where are your expenses? |
40851 | But had Spain a right to make this cession without our consent? |
40851 | But he would ask if this were the case, if it would not lead directly to war? |
40851 | But how are these objects effected? |
40851 | But how did the case really stand? |
40851 | But how did we vote on the motion for agreeing to the following clause? |
40851 | But how is that gentleman to have foundation for his reflections until a bill is drawn? |
40851 | But how shall we account for the exception which is now exhibited to this hitherto received maxim? |
40851 | But how was this law adopted? |
40851 | But how? |
40851 | But how? |
40851 | But if the evidence was not reported, how could he say that all the witnesses might not again be called before the House? |
40851 | But if the gentleman insisted opinions could not be false, how would he get rid of the conclusion? |
40851 | But if, on the contrary, they coolly looked into the petition, and reported thereon, would it not stop the mouths of these people? |
40851 | But if, sir, they have offended against the constitution or laws of the country, why are they not impeached? |
40851 | But is it unconstitutional to assign new duties to officers already existing? |
40851 | But is this Legislative power in Great Britain usurped by construction? |
40851 | But is this the peace which we ought to seek? |
40851 | But 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?" |
40851 | But of what avail will this be, when Congress may take it away at any moment? |
40851 | But ought this to be said of the subject under consideration? |
40851 | But should we persist under such a possibility of mistake, what do we risk? |
40851 | But suppose it was now in possession of a foreign power, would Georgia attempt to drive them from it? |
40851 | But suppose, said Mr. S., this independence were to take place, would all the danger to this country actually take place which has been stated? |
40851 | But suppose, sir, you agree to divide these States, where is the boundary to be? |
40851 | But supposing there are yet a number of them, what better use can our public armed vessels be put to than to go after them? |
40851 | But the gentleman from South Carolina says, this is the cheapest mode of defence; but does the gentleman prove this? |
40851 | But the question arises, whether a violation of the treaties on the part of France is, of itself, sufficient for setting them aside? |
40851 | But this settlement is now objected to, and what is to be done? |
40851 | But was it necessary these persons should at once become entitled to take a part in the concerns of our Government? |
40851 | But was this the sense of the country? |
40851 | But were they always to expect to have a PRESIDENT who would give his services to his country? |
40851 | But what have we to do with their domestic broils? |
40851 | But what inducement will there be to moneyed men to lend money, except a permanent revenue be made the security? |
40851 | But what is the fact? |
40851 | But what security have we for the truth of the declaration? |
40851 | But what was all this to the United States? |
40851 | But what was now to be done? |
40851 | But what was the issue of this negotiation? |
40851 | But what was the issue of this proposition? |
40851 | But what was the result of experience? |
40851 | But what were the terms upon which they proposed to cede it? |
40851 | But what, said Mr. G., is the language of this section? |
40851 | But what, sir, did the gentleman mean by his X, Y, Z? |
40851 | But when? |
40851 | But where did that gentleman learn that Holland has no navy? |
40851 | But where is the evil complained of? |
40851 | But where was the blame, if any could attach? |
40851 | But where was the crime, the offence, or the impropriety, of the conduct ascribed to the Executive, if it had been adopted? |
40851 | But wherefore this exhibition of a zeal so inordinate as to arrogate to itself all sensibility to the national welfare? |
40851 | But who will say that the crew of a British frigate on the high seas, are within the peace of the United States? |
40851 | But why have they trusted to the imaginary collision of sentiment between the Governor and Intendant of New Orleans? |
40851 | But why is she in that situation? |
40851 | But why speak of British inhumanity, if not to embarrass this bill? |
40851 | But 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? |
40851 | But why, he asked, do these men come here in a body? |
40851 | But why, say gentlemen, fix precisely one Supreme Court, and leave the rest to Legislative discretion? |
40851 | But why? |
40851 | But will it be pretended that a person can commit misprision of treason who can not commit treason itself? |
40851 | But will the House thus be acted upon? |
40851 | But will the gentleman say, that whenever we ask information, we conclude upon measures? |
40851 | But will this alter the justness of my position? |
40851 | But would this have been right? |
40851 | But would this have done? |
40851 | But, 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? |
40851 | But, he asked if the gentleman from Virginia knew the reason why this amount to France appeared so large? |
40851 | But, he asked if the loss we sustained for the want of a naval power could be estimated? |
40851 | But, he would ask them, if, independent of land with its improvements, they possessed any other species of property which could not be eluded? |
40851 | But, in any view, are the sins of the former judges to be fastened upon the new Judicial system? |
40851 | But, it is said, will you suffer a printer to abuse his fellow- citizens with impunity, ascribing his conduct to the very worst of motives? |
40851 | But, said he, shall we fear that we shall be called upon to pay a few more just debts? |
40851 | But, say gentlemen, where will you find revenue? |
40851 | But, sir, are the Secretaries unworthy of confidence? |
40851 | But, sir, are we not as deeply interested in the true exposition of the constitution, as the judges can be? |
40851 | But, supposing the law constitutional, is the crime an infamous one? |
40851 | But, taking things as they are, what course, on this point, is most fair and tolerant? |
40851 | But, to return, was there any thing criminal in that paragraph? |
40851 | But, upon what ground, said Mr. G., do the advocates of this report prove that 11 is not three- fourths of 14? |
40851 | But, what was the fact? |
40851 | But, why had it been so? |
40851 | But, why two, Mr. B. queried, rather than three? |
40851 | By the laws of what nation would the contract be governed? |
40851 | By what are those armies to be opposed? |
40851 | By what authority can any court render such a judgment? |
40851 | By what inspiration could the gentleman form a judgment now? |
40851 | By what law then would such a contract be governed? |
40851 | By what means was this to be accomplished? |
40851 | By whom has this outrage been offered? |
40851 | Can I, said Mr. J., represent as effectually Massachusetts, or Vermont, as Pennsylvania? |
40851 | Can any other meaning be applied to the words"from time to time?" |
40851 | Can any thing essential, any thing more than mere ornament and decoration, be added to this by robes and diamonds? |
40851 | Can gentlemen hear these things and lie quietly on their pillows? |
40851 | Can he commit and imprison without a trial? |
40851 | Can he prove that £10,000,000 sterling is only the third part of the expense of defence, as he says? |
40851 | Can he then be trusted with the government of others? |
40851 | Can it be any thing more than the right of uttering and doing what is not injurious to others? |
40851 | Can it be done without power? |
40851 | Can 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? |
40851 | Can it be possible, sir, that the gentleman was really serious when he talked about an injury to women and children? |
40851 | Can it be shown, or even said, that the judgment of the court was a false construction of the constitution? |
40851 | Can it be, that an act, which, if perpetrated by an individual, would be robbery, can be justifiable in a nation? |
40851 | Can it have this effect? |
40851 | Can it mean that an office may exist, although its duties are extinct? |
40851 | Can it mean, in short, that the shadow, to wit, the judge, can remain, when the substance, to wit, the office, is removed? |
40851 | Can it mean, that his tenure should be limited by behaving well in an office which did not exist? |
40851 | Can not the logical talents of the gentleman from Massachusetts( Mr. BACON) distinguish between information and measures? |
40851 | Can stones show gratitude? |
40851 | Can the honorable gentleman be serious in all this? |
40851 | Can the usefulness or convenience of any acquisition justify us in taking from another by force what we have no sort of right to? |
40851 | Can this admission make us responsible for the conduct of men we do not know, and over whom we have no control? |
40851 | Can 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? |
40851 | Can we expect this, said Mr. N.? |
40851 | Can you impair its force by impeaching the motives of any member who voted for it? |
40851 | Could any gentleman conceive that these were not too great powers to be intrusted to any State whatever? |
40851 | Could any gentleman pretend to say that no inference might be drawn from this source and the concomitant facts? |
40851 | Could any man desire to place the citizens of the District in such a state? |
40851 | Could any office be at the same time in the possession of two persons? |
40851 | Could any possible inconvenience accrue from allowing him to obtain the information he desired? |
40851 | Could gentlemen be serious in making this objection? |
40851 | Could gentlemen hear it and not shudder? |
40851 | Could he say we were at peace with them now? |
40851 | Could he use the public force to redress our wrongs? |
40851 | Could his successor, on the receipt of his commission, exercise the functions of judge, prior to the resignation of the former incumbent? |
40851 | Could it be necessary then to_ increase_ courts when suits were_ decreasing_? |
40851 | Could it be necessary to multiply judges, when their duties were diminishing? |
40851 | Could it then be supposed these gentlemen could, in this instance, so change their opinion? |
40851 | Could it, then, with any reason be called premature to act upon such information? |
40851 | Could the President proceed further, even if he thought more vigorous measures proper and expedient? |
40851 | Could the Speaker desire this? |
40851 | Could the framers of the constitution intend to guarantee, as a sacred principle, the liberty of lying against the Government? |
40851 | Could they alone go to war with France and Spain? |
40851 | Could they declare a law of North Carolina null and void? |
40851 | Could they fear injustice when opposed to a feeble individual? |
40851 | Could they hold Orleans, were they to take possession of it, without the aid of the United States? |
40851 | Could this be correct? |
40851 | Could this be liberty? |
40851 | Could this give offence, because we feel pleasure in being at peace? |
40851 | Could we refuse a tribute of respect to a man who had served his country so much? |
40851 | Could, then, gentlemen talk of moral obligation, and say that this was a just debt? |
40851 | Dangerous to Europe and to the world, what will be the effect of a great increase of that power? |

40851 | Did gentlemen want an age to express an opinion which every member feels-- which the whole nation feels? |
40851 | Did he carry his purpose into effect? |
40851 | Did he mean to set all slaves at liberty, or receive petitions from all? |
40851 | Did he not embark his all for this country? |
40851 | Did he then ask any thing which was unreasonable or improper? |
40851 | Did his constituents, he asked, wish this? |
40851 | Did not he know that the doctrine applied to the Senate as well as to that House? |
40851 | Did not our situation, and the circumstances in which we stand, compel us to turn our attention to this object? |
40851 | Did not the United States trade with all the nations of the earth? |
40851 | Did not the gentleman know that the most solemn decision had taken place last session on this subject, by a large majority? |
40851 | Did not the gentleman''s friends immediately state the impropriety of passing those resolutions? |

40851 | Did not the members of the convention know that a great quantity of public treasure would be drawn together into this place? |
40851 | Did not the silence of the bill on this point show the ignorance of gentlemen? |
40851 | Did not this go to sanction a report which was as false and malignant as even jacobinism could invent? |
40851 | Did the acts of cession by the States, and of acceptance by Congress, take away the jurisdiction of those States, and vest it in Congress? |
40851 | Did the city afford the Government a defence? |

40851 | Did the gentleman suppose that the number would be so great as to make a demand on their seats? |
40851 | Did the military send its aid? |
40851 | Did the people of America vest all power in the Legislature? |
40851 | Did the people? |
40851 | Did the petition go any farther than this? |
40851 | Did they attempt to counteract the Executive? |
40851 | Did they imagine that, without the expression of a murmur by them, the mover would himself rise and oppose his own motion? |
40851 | Did they know how far we would reduce the Army, the Navy, or the Judiciary? |
40851 | Did they not consider the number of persons attached to the Government worthy of the special regard of the national Legislature? |
40851 | Did they not hold them under the Spanish Government? |
40851 | Did they rest here the most important branch of our Government? |
40851 | Did they risk on these grammatical niceties the fate of America? |

40851 | Did we drive them to the measures that made such immense expenditures of the public money necessary? |
40851 | Did we object to a syllable contained in this part of the resolution? |
40851 | Did we refuse our assent? |
40851 | Did we then hesitate? |
40851 | Did we then make war? |
40851 | Did we then wait for foreign alliance? |
40851 | Do gentlemen appeal to our fears, rather than to our understanding? |
40851 | Do gentlemen mean to decide at once thus precipitately against all indemnity whatever? |
40851 | Do gentlemen say opinions can be false which do not contain matter of fact? |
40851 | Do gentlemen themselves think that the persons, whom I see around me, ought to be trusted with such powers? |
40851 | Do not gentlemen know that our Government is in possession of testimony, demonstrating beyond all kind of doubt, that this is not the fact? |
40851 | Do not gentlemen know that peace or war is not in our power? |
40851 | Do not the people in this territory hold them as such? |
40851 | Do not we know that we may safely rely upon them? |
40851 | Do 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? |

40851 | Do we not every day call upon particular officers to perform duties not previously assigned to, or required of them? |
40851 | Do 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? |
40851 | Do we not know, said Mr. B., that he is among the persons proscribed by France? |
40851 | Do we not see the nation with whom we are at variance find quarrels with every country who is not strong enough to resist her? |
40851 | Do you not tremble when you look at it? |
40851 | Do you prefer peace to independence? |
40851 | Does any body expect any thing from the terrible generosity of the Great Nation? |
40851 | Does any gentleman on this floor know who confined him, or by order of what government? |
40851 | Does he mean to say that Congress did wrong in funding the public debt? |
40851 | Does he mean to say that the price of our liberty and independence ought not to have been paid? |
40851 | Does he remember when we passed this law? |
40851 | Does he wish unreasonable concessions to be made? |
40851 | Does it affect the case? |
40851 | Does it alter the fact? |
40851 | Does it embrace any point of fact on which a committee is to make inquiry? |
40851 | Does it follow, that a law is bad because all those who concurred in it can not give good reasons for their votes? |
40851 | Does 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? |
40851 | Does it not say that the agents must be under the Government of France? |
40851 | Does it result that we have a right to pass a law beforehand to contemplate such an event? |
40851 | Does not the President refer to them as important to enlighten us? |
40851 | Does not the power that cedes give up all right whatever to that which accepts? |
40851 | Does not the selection of the best objects to which to appropriate it devolve on you? |
40851 | Does not this look as though the United States are to patronize and support the establishment? |
40851 | Does not this manifest precipitation? |
40851 | Does not this show that the gentlemen themselves have not confided in the estimate of the artist? |
40851 | Does she not injure us on every side? |

40851 | Does the gentleman wish to suppress the history of the political events of 1776? |
40851 | Does 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? |
40851 | Does this question involve an inquiry either into matter of expediency or of fact? |
40851 | Else why was the provision for exclusive jurisdiction made? |
40851 | Establish thus the dependence of the Judiciary Department, who will resort to them for protection against you? |
40851 | For by what rule of evidence could he discover and know what was really the writer''s belief? |
40851 | For fear of_ offending_ foreign nations we are not to ask or know what is our relative situation with such nations? |
40851 | For what do we ask? |
40851 | For what purpose was this great mass to be raised? |
40851 | For what purpose, said he, should they be finished, unless it were intended to man them? |
40851 | For what, sir, are elections held, if it be not that the people should change their representatives when they do not like them? |
40851 | For what? |
40851 | For when the powers and duties are taken away, what, let me ask, is left but a salary? |
40851 | From whence do they derive their authority? |
40851 | From whence, said Mr. V., is this reasoning drawn? |
40851 | From whom is a corrupt decision most to be feared? |
40851 | Gentlemen asked whether war is not approaching? |
40851 | Gentlemen 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? |
40851 | Gentlemen say, we are happier than though we were at war; are we at peace? |
40851 | Had Congress, then, a right to do any thing to bind the sovereignties of the independent States? |
40851 | Had any objection been made to the old Congress under the Confederation, that was federally organized, for the want of talents or integrity? |
40851 | Had not the citizens lived happily for a hundred years under the State Governments? |
40851 | Had she no navy in the American war, when with great gallantry, though with unequal success, she fought the English at sea? |
40851 | Had the public affairs been conducted with less ability than they are at present? |
40851 | Had they not an equal right to be heard with other petitioners? |
40851 | Has a great man reason to fear from a poor one? |

40851 | Has he any documents or proof to render the suspicion colorable? |
40851 | Has he heard of no commercial distresses, when violations so unprecedented have of late occurred? |
40851 | Has it been passed in a manner which wounded your pride, or aroused your resentment? |
40851 | Has it been the practice of this Government heretofore to break lances on the spot with any nation who injured or insulted her? |
40851 | Has the King of Spain, has the First Consul of France, no means of making such communication to the President of the United States? |
40851 | Have not the judges, in the same manner, been deprived of one of their offices? |
40851 | Have the French Government expressed any inclination to settle the differences subsisting between them and us? |
40851 | Have the Senate any authority to advise him as to the faithful execution of the laws? |
40851 | Have they not been wholly maritime? |
40851 | Have they not seen the letter of the Governor of New Orleans to the Governor of the Mississippi Territory? |
40851 | Have we a better prospect than that nation? |
40851 | Have we given our vote that we would not defend the free navigation of the Mississippi? |
40851 | Have we heretofore been considered as responsible? |
40851 | Have we not been ready to unite in adopting those measures which the infraction of treaties and our violated rights demand? |
40851 | Have we not heard this doctrine supported in the memorable case of the mandamus, lately before the Supreme Court? |
40851 | Have we not passed a variety of bills which gentlemen have declared amount to war? |
40851 | Have we not seen sedition laws? |
40851 | Have we not uniformly adhered to the principle that those who exercise power_ de facto_ are the only persons that we are bound to recognize? |
40851 | Have we not within these few days passed a law to prevent the importation of certain dangerous characters? |
40851 | Have we one common language, and are we united under one head? |
40851 | Have we such evidence as should incline us to rely upon it? |
40851 | Have you a judiciary system extending over this immense country, matured by the wisdom of your ablest and best men? |
40851 | Have you any thing to say in excuse or extenuation for said publication? |
40851 | Have you here the opportunities for valuable information which might be had elsewhere? |
40851 | Have you not done more? |
40851 | Have you not then established a new office by the destruction of the old one? |
40851 | Have you taxes which have been laid since the commencement of the Government? |
40851 | Have 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? |
40851 | He again asked, have we the means? |
40851 | He asked if our Government did not know that nothing was to be obtained here without money? |
40851 | He asked the decision of the question, whether, previously to offering his resolutions, the doors ought not to be closed? |
40851 | He 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? |
40851 | He asked whether any gentlemen in this House, who are so frequently called disorganizers, had ever broached a doctrine like this? |
40851 | He asked whether gentlemen did not believe the Executive had taken measures which would lead to war? |
40851 | He 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? |
40851 | He asked whether this was consonant to the principles of the constitution? |
40851 | He asked whether, where men wanted every thing, and were in proportion of 29 to 1, it was possible they could be trusted with power? |
40851 | He asked, what necessity for the exercise of power by Congress? |
40851 | He called upon gentlemen to say whether a temper of revolt was not more perceptible in that quarter? |
40851 | He himself saw it with concern; but where was the difference in crime between the French Republic and the Emperor? |
40851 | He should be glad to know where he saw the signature to know it? |
40851 | He then asked if this was not the very state in which we now were? |
40851 | He wished also to know whether it was intended that the Senate should declare that the publication was a breach of privilege? |
40851 | He 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? |
40851 | He wished to know how a distinction was to be made on this subject? |
40851 | He wished to know what difficulty there would have been in defining the time here referred to in this bill? |
40851 | He wished to know what was meant? |
40851 | He wished to know whence he derived his information? |
40851 | He wished to know whether the House had not jurisdiction over this matter? |
40851 | He wished to know whether the people have not a right to say, if they choose, that the administration of justice is corrupt? |
40851 | He wished, therefore, to know what these unusual severities were which, upon our own ideas of Government, we could retaliate? |
40851 | He 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? |
40851 | He would ask the gentleman just up whether he knew any thing about the expense of a mausoleum? |
40851 | He would ask the gentleman whether that act of ours should have any influence on our situation with France? |
40851 | He would ask whether, in countries over which the Government had complete jurisdiction, worse things had not happened? |
40851 | He would ask, Was there any thing in the name of Government, if it operated in this manner? |
40851 | He would ask, could not an appropriation be made for the use of the Military Establishment in general terms? |
40851 | He would ask, how, under these circumstances, a jury could be struck in a federal court in that State agreeably to law? |
40851 | He would not deny that frauds were committed, but for this should the honest debtor be eternally fettered with his debts? |
40851 | He would wish to know what advantage there could be in giving this legislative agency to those States? |
40851 | Hence arises the advantages from public contributions; and would that House, he asked, refuse their assistance? |
40851 | Here 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? |
40851 | How can the retrocession be made? |
40851 | How could any thing, then, be due to them? |
40851 | How could he know what part would awaken that idea of disrespect? |
40851 | How could it be fairly argued, because gentlemen desired to limit the duration of this law, that they were unwilling to defend their country? |
40851 | How could that little island( England) command such influence in foreign dominions? |
40851 | How could that share be estimated? |
40851 | How could the motion be necessary-- how be useful? |
40851 | How could they be collected? |
40851 | How could this be, when they had no right to be deprived of? |
40851 | How could this be? |
40851 | How could we say what our relation is, except we determine what is our relation with respect to the treaties subsisting between the two countries? |
40851 | How did the bankrupt law operate upon the planter? |
40851 | How did the gentleman mean to go, and how take peaceable possession? |
40851 | How did the matter stand? |
40851 | How does that honorable gentleman get his information? |
40851 | How does the gentleman from Virginia know what light this information may throw on the subject? |
40851 | How does the matter now stand? |
40851 | How is a naval force to guard us, which Great Britain can destroy, whenever she pleases, even in time of war? |
40851 | How is it to operate? |
40851 | How is that to be formed? |
40851 | How is the independence of the judge more affected by the one act than by the other? |
40851 | How is this question to be decided? |
40851 | How is this to be done? |
40851 | How long can we expect to maintain the other distinctive qualities of the magistracy of the two countries, when this sameness is established? |
40851 | How long is it since we have discovered the malignant qualities which are now ascribed to this law? |
40851 | How must they, then, get support? |
40851 | How progressing? |
40851 | How so? |
40851 | How then can this House meddle with that part of our property? |
40851 | How then can we commiserate with it as an unfortunate country? |
40851 | How then can we deliberate on this subject, unless we know the degree of probability there is, that it will be carried into effect? |
40851 | How then could it be expected that, at such a period, even the semblance of justice could be done to the subject? |
40851 | How then could the gentleman from Pennsylvania say that Holland has no navy? |
40851 | How was it terminated? |
40851 | How was this to be ascertained but by inquiry? |
40851 | How was this to be done? |
40851 | How was this to be done? |
40851 | How would this resolution then stand? |
40851 | How would you bear up, not only against the force of the enemy, but against the irresistible current of public opinion? |
40851 | How, he asked, would this operate? |
40851 | How, he would ask gentlemen, could this be granted, and yet retained? |
40851 | How, then, can the gentleman with truth say that we have deviated from the law of nations? |
40851 | How, then, could the respective States of Virginia and Maryland a moment longer possess the jurisdiction? |
40851 | How, then, he asked, could they make their observations on it as they had done? |
40851 | How, then, he asks, can we expect to protect our commerce by a navy? |
40851 | How, then, is the nomination of a Minister to be understood? |
40851 | How, then, was it possible to do without accredited agents to attend to our concerns in foreign countries? |
40851 | I ask gentlemen, what is there in the constitution to prove their signification to this end alone? |
40851 | I ask him how he would remedy this evil as he calls it? |
40851 | I ask you, Mr. Chairman, if any system could be devised more likely to produce vexation and delay? |
40851 | I ask, gentlemen, is it not unfriendly and wrongful? |
40851 | I ask, if you do not, by such treatment, put the Government entirely into their hands? |
40851 | I ask, was this a public treaty? |
40851 | I say, sir, these were her motives in agreeing to that measure; and did she not evince a magnanimous spirit by doing it? |
40851 | I wish to know if the establishment of this principle requires facts? |
40851 | If Congress can derive no solid benefit from the exercise of this power, why keep the people in this degraded situation? |
40851 | If Congress exercise exclusive legislation, does it not follow that no other body can exercise any legislation whatever? |
40851 | If Congress had not power to legislate on the African trade, then why did they say it was with a committee? |
40851 | If a man is to be subject to a prosecution for his opinions, what will be the consequence? |
40851 | If 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? |
40851 | If an opinion upon a fact be expressed, and that opinion is false, scandalous, and malicious, ought it not to be subject to prosecution? |
40851 | If as a constitutional organ of the Government, where is the power given to the Senate? |
40851 | If from the cabinet, are we, the representatives of the people, to obtain it from him? |
40851 | If gentlemen are against finishing these frigates, why do they not come forward and declare it? |
40851 | If gentlemen were then wrong, is that a reason why they should continue to act wrong? |
40851 | If it was desirable, who could undertake it, who encourage it, like this House? |
40851 | If it were, why pass such a bill at this time, when it could not go into operation? |
40851 | If 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? |
40851 | If not, what did all that had been said amount to? |
40851 | If nothing was intended but a mere incorporation, why not apply to the State that could incorporate such a body? |
40851 | If 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? |
40851 | If receded, what would be the situation of the Territory? |
40851 | If the House decide that the Government is bound to relieve in one case, are they not bound to afford relief in all similar cases? |
40851 | If the Intendant is to be controlled by the Minister, would he have taken a step so important without his advice? |
40851 | If the United States were to become underwriters to the whole Union, where must the line be drawn when their assistance might be claimed? |
40851 | If the debtor States were not to pay their balances, why settle the accounts? |
40851 | If the doors shall be closed, can not we still agree to the resolution? |
40851 | If the expense is to be provided for, how is it to be done? |
40851 | If the gentleman from Delaware, or other gentlemen thought so, why not combat a decision at the time? |
40851 | If the permission were once granted to one, would it not be necessary to extend it to all? |
40851 | If the sentiments were agreeable to the minds of the House, why waste our time to alter mere expressions while the sentiment is preserved? |
40851 | If the spirit which last session gave existence to sixteen new judges continued, who could say by what number they would be limited? |
40851 | If there was nothing improper, why should they fear to trust the Senate with it? |
40851 | If these expenses were to be incurred for five thousand men, what would be the expense of an Army of thirty thousand men? |
40851 | If these sentiments were true, why not express them? |
40851 | If they had not a right to permit it, whether they are not bound to prohibit it? |
40851 | If they had power, where was the impropriety of referring, at least that part which could be considered? |
40851 | If they have the right to punish libels, or false, or malicious attacks, why include them in this act? |
40851 | If 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? |
40851 | If they were, the only difference between us now is, what are the proper means to obtain this great end? |
40851 | If they will not say this, must they not allow that the constitution is positive in prohibiting any change in this respect? |
40851 | If they, then, were compelled to protect commerce, he asked if there was any other way of doing it than by a Navy? |
40851 | If this diversity of sentiment exists, ought not the evils under the judiciary law to be very great before we touch it? |
40851 | If this exercise were to be allowed in any case, why could it not be allowed in the present? |
40851 | If this is the case, and the House knew it, why not say so, and make preparations accordingly? |
40851 | If this reasoning is correct, can you repeal a law establishing an inferior court, under the constitution? |
40851 | If this were not the intention, why resist the amendment? |
40851 | If we agree to the resolution, do we not pledge ourselves to increase this force? |
40851 | If we are bound by the acts of the old Congress, are we not equally bound by those of the last session? |
40851 | If we thus give away the people''s money, said he, shall we not be charged with rapaciously putting our hands into their pockets? |
40851 | If you destroy all law and government, can the few oppress the many, or will the many oppress the few? |
40851 | If, said he, you incorporate men to build a University, are you not pledging yourselves to make up any deficiency? |
40851 | In a Republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? |
40851 | In a court from which no one had an appeal and to whom it belonged to establish the leading principles of national jurisprudence? |
40851 | In 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? |
40851 | In making treaties he wished to know what was meant by two- thirds of the members of the Senate present? |
40851 | In short, does it appear that even Spain herself thought it an object of any importance? |
40851 | In what part of the constitution is it declared to be adopted? |
40851 | In what part of the constitution is such power delegated to this House? |
40851 | Indeed, can it, in the nature of things, be one of the rights of freemen to do injury? |
40851 | Instead 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? |
40851 | Institutions for promoting it grow up, supported by the public purse; and to what object can it be dedicated with greater propriety? |
40851 | Is America, said he, arrived at this melancholy state? |
40851 | Is American character worth nothing, that we should thus, in my judgment, improperly, attempt to destroy it on this floor? |
40851 | Is a law that has received the varied assent required by the constitution, and is clothed with all the needful formalities, thereby invalidated? |
40851 | Is he a strict common lawyer, or a special pleader? |
40851 | Is he acquainted with chancery law? |
40851 | Is he bold enough to denounce this measure as one of the Federal victims marked for destruction? |
40851 | Is he prepared to say it will throw no light on this subject? |
40851 | Is it a license to injure others or the Government, by calumnies, with impunity? |
40851 | Is it a strange thing, I would ask gentlemen, for a State to grant charters? |
40851 | Is it at present for the public convenience? |
40851 | Is it because the Legislature may, at pleasure, set aside a treaty? |
40851 | Is it less expensive for individuals, or for the public, than it would be in some of your commercial cities? |
40851 | Is it necessary, when the whole nation is alive, to be moderate in the expression of our ideas? |
40851 | Is it not because popular opinion was called on to decide every thing, until those who wore bayonets decided for all the rest? |
40851 | Is it not before us? |
40851 | Is it not natural for the people to ask why Congress do not call for this information? |
40851 | Is it not rather a degraded state? |
40851 | Is it not reasonable, then, that an institution of this kind should be established in that place? |
40851 | Is it not time to gain information? |
40851 | Is it not well known that those debts were part of the price of our Revolution? |
40851 | Is it not your great duty to promote the public good; and can that be more completely promoted in any other way? |
40851 | Is it possible for any man to read the constitution with attention, and then suppose that such could have been its design? |
40851 | Is it possible that twelve thousand dollars can be necessary for the two Houses? |
40851 | Is it proper, Mr. N. asked, for legislators to be placed on this ground? |
40851 | Is it safe? |
40851 | Is 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? |
40851 | Is it the law of England, at any particular period, which is adopted? |
40851 | Is it then for this House to say they will not attend to the petitions of our citizens? |
40851 | Is it to be a river, or a line of marked trees? |
40851 | Is it too much to say of such a calculation, that it is a paltry calculation, unworthy of a statesman, and befitting only a schoolboy? |
40851 | Is murder prohibited, and may you shut a man up, and deprive him of sustenance, till he dies, and this not be denominated murder? |
40851 | Is no punishment to be inflicted on such a person? |
40851 | Is not this a strange situation? |
40851 | Is not this, said Mr. N., an acknowledgment of the effect which this law will have? |
40851 | Is our present situation calculated to produce this effect? |
40851 | Is such a thing possible? |
40851 | Is that a Government of laws which leaves us no security but in the confidence we have in the moderation and patriotism of one man? |
40851 | Is that a measure of general defence which has diminished confidence in the Government and produced disunion among the States and among the people? |
40851 | Is that formed by the constitution? |
40851 | Is that wonderful man who presides over the destinies of France, ignorant or unmindful of these forms? |
40851 | Is the creation of judicial officers the only thing committed to their discretion? |
40851 | Is the gentleman really in earnest in his inquiries at this time? |
40851 | Is the idea of a separation of these States so light and trifling an affair, as to be uttered with calmness in this deliberate assembly? |
40851 | Is the power claimed proper for Congress to possess? |
40851 | Is there a State in the Union which has not adopted it, and in which it is not in force? |
40851 | Is there an offensive sentence either to the Court of Spain or the Republic of France? |
40851 | Is there any condition annexed to the judge''s tenure of office, other than good behavior? |
40851 | Is there any doubt that we shall not stand in need of information when we come to discuss points connected with this subject? |
40851 | Is there no instance of a similar situation to be found in history? |
40851 | Is there not reason to believe gentlemen hope to conceal the full extent of their principles, by bringing them into operation only by degrees? |
40851 | Is there then nothing more? |
40851 | Is 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? |
40851 | Is this House free from it? |
40851 | Is this a desirable state of things? |
40851 | Is this all our boasted acquisition, in return for the struggle we have made for our country? |
40851 | Is this an Address or an insult? |
40851 | Is this conciliation? |
40851 | Is this equitable? |
40851 | Is this fair, sir? |
40851 | Is this not calumny of the darkest hue? |
40851 | Is this not war? |
40851 | Is this system so very vicious, that it deserves nothing but abhorrence and destruction? |
40851 | Is this the case? |
40851 | Is this the language of irritation? |
40851 | Is this the mark of respect we ought to show to the first man in the nation? |
40851 | Is this the way in which six hundred thousand men are to be stigmatized? |
40851 | Is this to control succeeding rulers in their wild, their mad career? |
40851 | Is this wise? |
40851 | Is this, said he, a desirable state for the Legislature to be placed in? |
40851 | It is not want of respect that should prevent us, but are we provided to go into all the consequences attending a new negotiation? |
40851 | It 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? |
40851 | It may be said that you print your journals; but who reads them? |
40851 | It was a Judicial question, and the House ought not to pretend to determine the point; why, then, should they take up time upon it? |
40851 | Let me ask if this was not a vicious construction of a court of the highest authority and greatest importance in the nation? |
40851 | Let me ask, is there any thing in this calculated to gratify the courtly delicacy of a Castilian? |
40851 | Let me ask, sir, what could the judges do? |
40851 | Let me now ask, if the compensation allowed to these judges is extravagant? |
40851 | Let the gentleman from New York classify the claims as he pleases, can he tell the extent of the demands? |
40851 | Let the inquiry be made, of whom do the judges hold? |
40851 | May not equal oppression be imposed upon the people by giving your judges exorbitant salaries as by increasing their numbers? |
40851 | May 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? |
40851 | May they not amount to five million or ten million of dollars? |
40851 | Might not sixty as well as sixteen, with salaries of twenty thousand, instead of two thousand dollars, be provided for in this way? |
40851 | Might there not be other applications? |
40851 | Mr. B. asked, would these gentlemen admit that Nash was guilty of the dreadful murders committed on board the British frigate? |
40851 | Mr. B. said, he would inquire whether the present salaries were a reasonable and just compensation for the services performed? |
40851 | Mr. B. wished to know to whom they are to be attached? |
40851 | Mr. BAYARD asked for information whether it was in order for him to state that he withdrew his resolution? |
40851 | Mr. BUCK asked if, when on the question on the resolution,( if, adopted,) a separate vote could be given? |
40851 | Mr. COIT wished to know whether it was necessary for the United States to intermeddle with this? |
40851 | Mr. DANA thought this a most extraordinary resolution indeed? |
40851 | Mr. DAWSON asked if these resolutions were not necessarily connected with a subject which the House had determined should be discussed in private? |
40851 | Mr. DAWSON inquired if the same rules that applied to the House, did not also apply to Committees of the Whole? |
40851 | Mr. GALLATIN asked whether he understood the SPEAKER rightly, that a motion for a reference to a committee superseded a motion for postponement? |
40851 | Mr. GALLATIN inquired from what document Mr. SMITH took his calculations? |
40851 | Mr. GORDON wished to know what part of the resolution the gentleman from Virginia was not ready to act upon? |
40851 | Mr. H. asked on which branch of this rule could the arguments of gentlemen be predicated? |
40851 | Mr. HARPER asked, if the report of the committee should not be agreed to, whether the resolution might not then be agreed to? |
40851 | Mr. HARPER had yesterday said that the impressments were few; but how were we to be certain of that? |
40851 | Mr. HARPER inquired of the SPEAKER whether that was the usual mode of proceeding? |
40851 | Mr. LIVINGSTON desired to know wherein he had attempted to ridicule the resources of this country? |
40851 | Mr. MURRAY inquired when the fire happened at Lexington? |
40851 | Mr. N. asked whether this bill did not go to the abridgment of the freedom of speech and of the press? |
40851 | Mr. N. asked whether we could ever hope to succeed in a plan of this kind? |
40851 | Mr. 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? |
40851 | Mr. 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? |
40851 | Mr. NICHOLAS asked whether it would not then be in order to postpone the consideration of the subject? |
40851 | Mr. O. inquired if the House was ready to do the first? |
40851 | Mr. President, are we then to understand that opposition to the majority in the two Houses of Congress, is improper, is indecent? |
40851 | Mr. R. WILLIAMS wished to know whether the new census proposed to be taken was to affect the representation as well as the tax? |
40851 | Mr. R. said, if he had not, how was he to know whether it was good or bad? |
40851 | Mr. RANDOLPH said he would ask the gentleman from Delaware, whether he had seen any indisposition in that House to discuss the subject? |
40851 | Mr. S. SMITH asked if this were not the precise motion decided yesterday by the House? |
40851 | Mr. S. asked if this mode was not perfectly just and fair? |
40851 | Mr. SMILIE would ask whether the Supreme Court in such a case as this could be denominated an impartial tribunal? |
40851 | Mr. SPRIGGS said it had been inquired why the Legislature of Maryland could not have granted the commissioners what they now pray for? |
40851 | Mr. SWANWICK asked the gentleman what security there was in a peace with Algiers? |
40851 | Mr. SWANWICK considered the question to be to this effect: whether the debates be under the sanction of the House or not? |
40851 | Mr. W. LYMAN said, the question was, whether the House would incur the expense of$ 1,600 to supply the members with copies or not? |
40851 | Must it be acknowledged as the prerogative of that State to impose a Chief Magistrate on the Union? |
40851 | Must they hire a man for this purpose? |
40851 | Must we not judge of it by its intrinsic merit? |
40851 | Must you resort to Maryland for protection, and wait on her measures? |
40851 | No, said he, you have not: what is your answer? |
40851 | Now of what do courts consist? |
40851 | Now the question is whether, if the offices are abolished, those who filled them before they were abolished are entitled to salaries? |
40851 | Now what has the information desired by gentlemen to do with any such negotiation? |
40851 | Now when there were no services to be performed, what salary could there be allowed, or what retribution demanded? |
40851 | Now, sir, is it not our duty to consult our country''s interest, before we take this rash step, which we can not recall? |
40851 | Now, suppose in the French Treaty there were the same provisions as in the British Treaty, would this have produced payment? |
40851 | Now, what could possibly be in possession of that Department? |
40851 | Of any resignations of the office of judge of the circuit court, in order"that a salutary system might take effect?" |
40851 | Of what nature should these be? |
40851 | Of what use, Mr. G. asked, had been the reference of a set of resolutions made some days ago by Mr. SITGREAVES? |
40851 | Of whom shall your judges be independent? |
40851 | On the other hand, what do you see? |
40851 | On the passage of the law of last session, did we hear any protest against its unconstitutionality from the Supreme or district courts? |
40851 | On the question whether the Senate would advise and consent to the ratification of the third article of the convention? |
40851 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
40851 | On the question, Shall this bill pass? |
40851 | On the question, whether the Senate would advise and consent to the ratification of the third article? |
40851 | On the question, whether the Senate would advise and consent to the said additional article, as amended? |
40851 | On the question,"Will the Senate advise and consent to the adoption of this article?" |
40851 | Once take that step, and what obligation was there in Congress to remain here? |
40851 | Or could they say that no part of the 80,000 militia, ordered to be held in readiness, would not be called into service? |
40851 | Or does he believe that these events will be handed down in association with the bloody buoy, and Porcupine''s works? |
40851 | Or had the PRESIDENT set a bad example, by living in a style of extravagance and splendor? |
40851 | Or has he had time to examine whether that decree is really in force, or not? |
40851 | Or has not the invariable course been to seek reparation in the first place by negotiation? |
40851 | Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? |
40851 | Or is it abridged by a law to restrain lying? |
40851 | Or is the judgment of this House so feeble, that it may not be trusted? |
40851 | Or was he the very leader of the band that broke down these constitutional ramparts? |
40851 | Or was the power placed in them to be exercised like other duties, according to justice and propriety? |
40851 | Or was there a difference of right, because Virginia, with its extent and population, could make more clamor than any other State? |
40851 | Or 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? |
40851 | Or would they be ready to forfeit the revenue arising from it? |
40851 | Or would you be bound to retain them, lest it should infringe a private right? |
40851 | Or, if they could, can they find time to hear and decide causes? |
40851 | Or, that there were in that case no measures adopted? |
40851 | Or, will gentlemen say it was their intention to place themselves in this situation? |
40851 | Ought it to be rejected on the ground of jurisdiction? |
40851 | Ought not the House to be possessed of all the important information in the power of the Executive to give? |
40851 | Ought not this person to perform the object, although the particular mode of using the means has not been prescribed? |
40851 | Ought our country to remain in such cases dependent on foreign supply, precarious, because liable to be interrupted? |
40851 | Ought 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? |
40851 | Ought they, then, to support the doctrine which hereafter may be practised on to the full extent? |
40851 | Ought we not to aim at harmonizing, instead of dividing our citizens? |
40851 | Ought we not, therefore, on such a subject, to take immediate means to gain information? |
40851 | Our trade became so insecure, that it was necessary to do-- what? |
40851 | Patriotism could not be purchased, and should they despair of getting a man to fill the office of PRESIDENT without they increased the salary? |
40851 | Perhaps he has formed from his own mind a proper selection for our children, and is against the press handing down any thing else? |
40851 | Perhaps he might be asked, if we were, then, to be left without protection? |
40851 | Put the case to its consequences, and what becomes of the check? |
40851 | Questions arise whether both descriptions of sufferers ought not to be provided for? |
40851 | Returning to the question of foreign political intercourse: Was it proper to bring it back to what it was eighteen months ago? |
40851 | Shall he, and he only, have the public ear? |
40851 | Shall it be confided to men immediately responsible to the people, or to those who are irresponsible? |
40851 | Shall oppressed humanity find no asylum on this globe? |
40851 | Shall the Speaker have the discretion of saying what debates shall be taken and what shall not? |
40851 | Shall then a mistaken spirit of economy, and a still more mistaken jealousy arrest us? |
40851 | Shall they obey God or Mammon? |
40851 | Shall we abandon our duty? |
40851 | Shall we repress truth? |
40851 | Shall we sacrifice the interests of our constituents to a sense of politeness to these gentlemen? |
40851 | Shall we send a Minister hampered by such a resolution? |
40851 | Shall we shut the door against individual benevolence? |
40851 | Shall we sit down contented under the imputation of lukewarmness in this cause? |
40851 | Shall we thereby invite her aggressions? |
40851 | Shall we, said Mr. D., because our seamen have been first injured by Great Britain, when France uses them still worse, abandon them? |
40851 | Shall we, said he, treat the citizens of Savannah with more disrespect than the people of St. Domingo? |
40851 | Should I be doing right, said Mr. G., to say that I believe that this section of the bill is an effect of that negotiation? |
40851 | Should he, from unavoidable accidents, be cast into prison, and his family reduced to misery and distress? |
40851 | Should we now say they should be at our direction, and that we would not grant money without? |
40851 | Since our treaties were always made by special Envoys, what advantage could it be to have numerous Ministers Plenipotentiary in Europe? |
40851 | Sir, after a declaration of this kind, can you retract? |
40851 | Sir, said Mr. R., whom does this infraction of the treaty and the natural rights of this country most intimately affect? |
40851 | So we are told!--But if there be blame, on whom does it fall? |
40851 | Still, if the gentlemen would not agree with him as to the unconstitutionality of the measure proposed, he would ask, was it expedient? |
40851 | Suppose Georgia had a title to this territory, had not the United States the power of depriving Georgia of it? |
40851 | Suppose a libel were written against the PRESIDENT, where is it most probable that such an offence would receive an impartial trial? |
40851 | Suppose a majority of_ one_ was obtained on the report, what end would be produced? |
40851 | Suppose such an alliance was formed, would it not be said that Congress are bound to carry it into effect? |
40851 | Suppose the PRESIDENT should, after this, appoint officers to enlist men for the frigates, how could the House refuse to pay them? |
40851 | Suppose the persons deny your power-- how are your committee to enforce their mandates? |
40851 | Suppose these taxes are removed, are not the products of the country increasing? |
40851 | Suppose this power is doubted? |
40851 | Suppose we go into a Committee of the Whole, what light can we expect from their deliberation? |
40851 | Suppose we pass a law which calls upon the PRESIDENT to act, what ought the PRESIDENT to do? |
40851 | Suppose you had no law at all, could the rich oppress the poor? |
40851 | Suppose your courts of law claim cognizance as a case of libel, are you to have two prosecutions and two trials for the same offence? |
40851 | Suppose your reliance had been altogether on this broken staff, and not on the elective principle? |
40851 | Suppose, as the gentlemen wish, we say we will indemnify, does that pay the claims? |
40851 | Suppose, said Mr. H., we were to give thirty thousand dollars towards this loss, what would it be when divided among the whole Union? |
40851 | Suppose, said he, persons should claim to be Electors, who had never been_ properly_ appointed, should their vote be received? |
40851 | Surely it would not; and is it not the duty of every good citizen to heal, as far as possible, the wounds of society? |
40851 | That he would be punishable for concealing a treason who could not be punished for plotting it? |
40851 | That the moment they throw off the French yoke, they will receive all the assistance from this country which a free commerce can give them? |
40851 | The CHAIRMAN asked what Message? |
40851 | The SPEAKER asked, whether it was the pleasure of the House that the Sergeant- at- arms should be sent for Mr. LYON? |
40851 | The SPEAKER said the question was, whether it should be committed or not? |
40851 | The SPEAKER said, then you do accordingly agree to this proposition? |
40851 | The United States intend to exercise jurisdiction over that Territory, and was there any more reason for excepting this jurisdiction than any other? |
40851 | The 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?" |
40851 | The charge is easily made, but has the gentleman the means of supporting it? |
40851 | The fires at New York, Baltimore, and Charleston, had been mentioned; but what were the means of Savannah when compared with New York? |
40851 | The first inquiry was, whether the law of nations permitted the merchant vessels of neutral nations to arm? |
40851 | The first question was, then, whether that Administration had been marked with wisdom, firmness, and patriotism? |
40851 | The first thing he should ask was, Is such a thing desirable? |
40851 | The following question was then put,"Shall this bill pass?" |
40851 | The gentleman from Connecticut had said, why send a Minister Plenipotentiary to London or Paris, any more than the other Courts? |
40851 | The gentleman from Georgia had objected to the reference because the petition contained a system of facts which_ he said_ was not true? |
40851 | The gentleman from New York has asked, triumphantly asked, what power exists in our courts to deliver up an individual to a foreign Government? |
40851 | The law for authorizing the building of the three frigates? |
40851 | The only question is, How it shall be performed? |
40851 | The only question is, whether it will promote the taking of French privateers? |
40851 | The only question, said he, is, if your property is unjustly attacked, will you defend it? |
40851 | The previous question was then put in this form:"Shall the main question( viz: the resolution for reprimanding the offending members) now be put?" |
40851 | The previous question was then put,"Shall the main question be now put?" |
40851 | The question arises, by what tenure? |
40851 | The question before the House was not, Will we resent it? |
40851 | The question being,"Shall this bill pass?" |
40851 | The question is, what power is thus to be limited and checked? |
40851 | The question was put,"Is the decision of the Chair right?" |
40851 | The question was then put, shall the bill pass? |
40851 | The question was, whether the papers before them afforded reason to believe that legal evidence of the title did exist? |
40851 | The question was, whether they were to go over the same ground every four or eight years of furnishing the house of a new PRESIDENT? |
40851 | The second is, if further provisions are necessary, must they be made by amendment to the constitution? |
40851 | The simple question was, which of the two grounds the House would take? |
40851 | The true question is, were there courts enough under the old system, to do the business of the nation? |
40851 | The truth of these despatches admitted, what was your Government to do? |
40851 | The words are general,"all treasons, felonies,& c."Why are they confined in construction to British subjects? |
40851 | The yeas and nays were taken on the question,"Shall this bill be postponed till the first Monday in December next?" |
40851 | Then gentlemen get up and ask what we are to do with three frigates? |
40851 | Then why postpone it? |
40851 | Then, how could any gentleman say this was a trifling question, and one with which the House had nothing at all to do? |
40851 | These are my objects; do they not entitle us to the information asked? |
40851 | They certainly will not; for who would consent to sit here, or of what use would it be, under such conditions? |
40851 | They could appoint Commissioners to settle the accounts, but could they impose the debts upon the States? |
40851 | They 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? |
40851 | This being established, the inquiry was, to what department was the power in question allotted? |
40851 | This being the case, he asked gentlemen which they would choose? |
40851 | This is, Shall the amendment be received or not? |
40851 | This was novel, and what result did it lead to? |
40851 | To calm those irritations which disturb its repose? |
40851 | To deprive them of the common right of participating in the passage of laws which all the citizens enjoyed? |
40851 | To remove all things which may alarm, torment, or exacerbate? |
40851 | To take a fair view of the resolutions, what did they amount to? |
40851 | To the Judiciary: What is the language applied to them? |
40851 | To what point, therefore, could these discussions lead? |
40851 | To what source, then, shall we resort for a knowledge of what constitutes this thing, called misbehavior in office? |
40851 | To what will not this dangerous doctrine lead? |
40851 | To whom are these appearances to be made? |
40851 | To whom are these services to be rendered? |
40851 | To whom were they pledged, and for what? |
40851 | Under all these grievances, what, said he, are we called upon to do? |
40851 | Under these circumstances, Mr. S. wished to know why their petitions should not be taken into consideration? |
40851 | Upon this subject, so very important, are they to be kept in the dark? |
40851 | Upon what ground could he found such charges? |

40851 | Why, then, refer this resolution calling for information to a committee? |
40851 | Why, then, rise for the purpose of referring it to a secret committee? |
40851 | Why, then, shall we proceed to measures which must inevitably involve the country in war? |
40851 | Why, then, should we hazard the being involved in European broils? |
40851 | Why? |
40851 | Why? |
40851 | Why? |
40851 | Will any gentleman say it is for our personal convenience that the seat of Government is now at this place? |
40851 | Will any man undertake to say, that the privilege of the Parliament of Great Britain ought to be that of the Congress of this country? |
40851 | Will any one say that a man who does not keep the laws ought to be allowed to make them? |
40851 | Will gentlemen look back to the histories of other countries, and then tell us the people here have nothing to apprehend from themselves? |
40851 | Will gentlemen say it is to be found in the force of this wise precedent? |
40851 | Will gentlemen say that the same liberty of writing and speaking did not exist then that now exists? |
40851 | Will gentlemen say they will pay all demands before they know any thing of their nature or amount? |
40851 | Will gentlemen sit here and shut their eyes to the state and condition of their country? |
40851 | Will 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? |
40851 | Will he say that premises and conclusions are the same thing? |
40851 | Will it be contended that such great trusts ought to be reposed in feeble or incapable hands? |
40851 | Will it be expected, that I should quote Sidney, De Lolme, Montesquieu, and a host of elementary writers, to prove this assertion? |
40851 | Will it be made a question whether it is proper to ask for information? |
40851 | Will 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? |
40851 | Will it be said, that although you can not remove the judge from office, yet you can remove his office from him? |
40851 | Will it not be a declaration to the remaining judges that they hold their offices subject to your will and pleasure? |
40851 | Will 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? |
40851 | Will the adoption of these resolutions give us a single ship or gun? |
40851 | Will the gentleman say, that the direct tax was laid in order to enlarge the bounds of patronage? |
40851 | Will the gentlemen say that these judges are ambassadors, other public ministers or consuls, or that they are a state? |
40851 | Will the judges rudely declare that you have violated the constitution, unmindful of your duty, and regardless of your oath? |
40851 | Will the present repeal of the internal taxes interfere with the doing substantial justice to our merchants? |
40851 | Will the same navy be more efficacious in our case, than in the case of Holland, or Spain, or Portugal? |
40851 | Will these resolutions, then, said he, if adopted, tend to this point? |
40851 | Will they not say the President has done his duty in stating the fact? |
40851 | Will they remedy the evil by excluding the stenographers from places within the bar? |
40851 | Will this Government not be chargeable with having assisted in detaching such a colony from its Government? |
40851 | Will this satisfy the just expectation of our country? |
40851 | Will we not be classed with the robbers and destroyers of mankind? |
40851 | Will you call the militia from the North to assist their Southern brethren? |
40851 | Will you give up commerce, or build a Navy to protect it? |
40851 | Will you not, then, be obliged to make a general provision that all claims, so circumstanced, shall be allowed? |
40851 | Will you remember, sir, that they held the power of life and death, without appeal? |
40851 | Will you secure their seasonable aid, bring them early to the fields they are ordered to defend? |
40851 | Will you then confine the President, in relation to these powers, to a Peace Establishment? |
40851 | Will, then, Mr. Chairman, any gentleman hesitate a moment to pronounce the rule of apportionment which was adopted unjust, unequal, and erroneous? |
40851 | With all the deference to their talents, is not Congress as capable of forming a correct opinion as they are? |
40851 | With respect to the motion, Mr. L. asked, to whom was application to be made? |
40851 | With 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? |
40851 | With that meek and peaceful spirit now so strongly recommended, we submitted to this insult, and what followed? |
40851 | With this knowledge, so plainly derivable from the policy pursued by the Legislature, what was the Secretary of the Navy to do? |
40851 | Without meeting? |
40851 | Wonderful indeed is this sudden disposition to confidence? |
40851 | Would any gentleman say that it was policy not to legislate about 700,000 enemies in the very body of the United States? |
40851 | Would any man, said Mr. H., who shall read this passage, say that the system of these gentlemen is a peace system? |
40851 | Would any person deny that, through the agency of the Executive, constitutionally exercised, the injury was redressed? |
40851 | Would calmness be consistent if entering wedges were prepared to ruin the property of whole estates? |
40851 | Would 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? |
40851 | Would gentlemen feel calm if measures were taken to destroy most of their property? |
40851 | Would gentlemen say that the Executive ought to appoint persons to office who professed an opinion contrary to its own? |
40851 | Would he have had the people of the United States relinquish without a struggle those liberties which had cost so much blood and treasure? |
40851 | Would he march at the head of the_ posse comitatus_? |
40851 | Would he place the memory of WASHINGTON on a footing with that of a rich man''s mistress? |
40851 | Would it be more respectful that an answer should be sent by this House, which, for want of time, had not been sufficiently considered? |
40851 | Would it have been a proper return for the unanimity with which your committee was chosen? |
40851 | Would it have tended to conciliate? |
40851 | Would it not be absurd still to say, that the removed judge held his office during good behavior? |
40851 | Would it not involve an inconsistency, that ought not certainly to be chargeable upon the framers of the constitution? |
40851 | Would it not place the Territory in the situation of a conquered country? |
40851 | Would not public opinion be as ready to sanction the one as the other of these detestable acts? |
40851 | Would 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? |
40851 | Would not the French say, if they were applied to for redress,"You knew these were pirates; why did you not defend yourselves against them?" |
40851 | Would not the House have contravened the constitution, by taking from the President the power which by it is placed in him? |
40851 | Would 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? |
40851 | Would not these two give to the legislature a majority? |
40851 | Would not this be a most extraordinary doctrine? |
40851 | Would not this be to acknowledge that there our regulation pinched her? |
40851 | Would 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? |
40851 | Would such a procedure meet the approbation of even our own citizens, whose lives and fortunes would be risked in the conflict? |
40851 | Would the civil jurisdiction of the town have repelled the bayonet? |
40851 | Would the committee be willing that Savannah should be erased from the revenue? |
40851 | Would the decree stop the importation of British goods? |
40851 | Would the gentleman yet wish to leave the District without laws, and merely lest it should take away their suffrage? |
40851 | Would the gentleman, then, inform the House what point he wished to ascertain, or in what he expected additional proof? |
40851 | Would there be a power in Virginia and Maryland, if receded, to prevent a resumption? |
40851 | Would they admit that he falsely made the claim? |
40851 | Would they discard the property of that class of citizens who depended upon it for their support and their wealth? |
40851 | Would they not laugh at you when you told them their term of office was out? |
40851 | Would 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? |
40851 | Would they not say, we belong to inferior courts? |
40851 | Would this be the way to keep the Government together, or to preserve harmony in the country? |
40851 | Would you annihilate a system because some men under part of it had acted wrong? |
40851 | Would you know the sentiment of England? |
40851 | Would your national honor be free from imputation by a conduct of such inconsistency and duplicity? |
40851 | Yes, he would answer; else how could an appropriation in general terms have been made for the intercourse with foreign nations? |
40851 | Yes, sir, we wish for peace; but how is that blessing to be preserved? |
40851 | Yet, what superior advantage have they in the Government generally? |
40851 | You are to inquire how he became possessed of a certain bill which he published; what kind of an inquiry is this? |
40851 | Your 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? |
40851 | and are not our resources increasing with our population? |
40851 | and asking those whose duty it was to inquire, is there no sedition here? |
40851 | and 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? |
40851 | and have we not done all we can conveniently do for the defence of our commerce? |
40851 | and if the effect of his resolution should be to show that the stipulations are injurious to our rights, would he know how to act? |
40851 | and in what cases they were to defend themselves? |
40851 | and of course are we not prohibited from establishing one system in one place, and a different system in another? |
40851 | and that however flagrant that abuse of power, it is remediless, and must be submitted to? |
40851 | and whether, if they do say so, the fact ought not to be inquired into? |
40851 | and will you punish every man who shall repeat, print, or publish what is made public on this floor? |
40851 | and, if Congress had that cognizance before that time, have those amendments taken it away? |
40851 | asked, could be placed in a nation which one day makes a treaty, and the next violates it? |
40851 | but 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? |
40851 | conquer France? |
40851 | did the Government say it? |
40851 | for money from the poor without law? |
40851 | is it no crime to publish a bill while before this House? |
40851 | is it possible that I have heard such a sentiment in this body? |
40851 | on the duties which he now pays? |
40851 | on what did this claim rest? |
40851 | or a murder committed on board such a frigate, against the peace of any other than the British Government? |
40851 | or in a court independent of any influence whatever? |
40851 | or what connection had we with, any other, besides commercial? |
40851 | or, Thirdly, whether they can be made by law? |
40851 | said 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?" |
40851 | said 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? |
40851 | to collect it; but what was twenty- five compared with three hundred per cent.? |
40851 | was it not enough to submit to injury; shall we not only receive the stripes, but kiss the rod that inflicts them? |
40851 | with restrictions, perhaps, to guard against the fraudulent usurpation of our flag? |
40499 | If it should be the judgment of Congress that it would be most expedient--what can be more explicit than this language? |
40499 | In 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? |
40499 | 112; difficult to see where the danger lies, 112; what is meant by responsibility? |
40499 | 116; is five thousand dollars in proportion to the services of the Vice President? |
40499 | 197; can two parties exist in a well organized government to dispute about property and have no judge? |
40499 | 197; is not the want of consideration a good plea? |
40499 | 230; plans of the friends of emancipation, 231; negroes are inferior race, 231; slavery is no new thing, 231; does slavery weaken the Southern States? |
40499 | 231; is public opinion against slavery? |
40499 | 232; this squeamishness is very extraordinary, 232; consequences of emancipation, 233; if importation prohibited, will that species become extinct? |
40499 | 233; does slavery vitiate and debase the mind of the owner? |
40499 | 233; does toleration of slavery bring reproach on America? |
40499 | 233; will the abolition strengthen South Carolina? |
40499 | 234; was South Carolina wanting in patriotism? |
40499 | 318; peace concluded April, 1783, 318; what was the intention of the parties in this contract? |
40499 | 318; what does the law of nations say? |
40499 | 318; when did the war end? |
40499 | 324; is it expedient to do it? |
40499 | 59; what are the objects of Government-- revenue one of the first? |
40499 | 647; view of legislative and treaty- making powers, 648; how is the will of the people expressed in the constitution to be understood? |
40499 | 676; is it paramount to a law, and can it repeal law, although itself can not be acted upon by the legislative power? |
40499 | 89; the power of removal exists somewhere, and where? |
40499 | A Treaty is a bargain between nations binding in good faith; and what makes a bargain? |
40499 | A gentleman has asked, what is meant by responsibility? |
40499 | A gentleman has said, that Parliament interfered, not to violate, but to perfect the contract: but what did Parliament do? |
40499 | A sufficient force must be raised for their defence; and the only question now to be considered is, what that force shall be? |
40499 | AMES.--I wish the committee may consider, with the attention the subject demands, whether the duties are too high or not? |
40499 | AMES.--If we are to go to war, will it not be a prodigious saving of expense to have all matters ready beforehand? |
40499 | After a silence of some minutes, Mr. LIVERMORE asked, what part of the report it was expected that gentlemen should speak to? |
40499 | After all, however, should the unlimited powers he had mentioned( and such powers must always be unlimited) be wantonly abused, was there no remedy? |
40499 | After having thus formed his opinion relative to the Treaty, his next inquiry was, is the Treaty constitutional? |
40499 | After these preliminary observations, Mr. H. proceeded to inquire, not what ought to be, but what was the Constitution of the United States? |
40499 | Again, what may be the result of the precedent relating to the session of Congress? |
40499 | Also, gentlemen declared they would not recede from their former determinations; did they expect that the majority would recede? |
40499 | And On the previous question,"Shall the said main question be now put?" |
40499 | And although the excise may be somewhat unpopular, although money may still be wanted; what is the excise? |
40499 | And are we( said Mr. S.) to stand up here, and tell the world that we dare not perform an act of benevolence? |
40499 | And are we, meanwhile, to remain inactive and irresolute, and make no efforts to repel their intended attacks? |
40499 | And between the Vice President and the Senate? |
40499 | And can an act possibly meet the disapprobation of a single person which does not infringe his rights, and which puts money into his pocket? |
40499 | And 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? |
40499 | And can we be so unreasonable as to suppose that they would ever consent to a Treaty that had not such terms of reciprocity? |
40499 | And demanded, if, by the purchase, they were divested of that quality? |
40499 | And did the United States pass laws to punish the counterfeiting the notes of that bank? |
40499 | And do not all those nations, as well as every other, come into our ports on the same terms with the British? |
40499 | And do we, in the last case, say to these unfortunate sufferers, commence suits against those who have injured you? |
40499 | And does not the constitution expressly declare that the House solely shall exercise the power of originating revenue bills? |
40499 | And had all their professions been only a veil to hide their love of power? |
40499 | And had the prosecution succeeded, would the Secretary have had an appeal to the public? |
40499 | And have we not the volunteers, sir, in this country to protect our rights? |
40499 | And here he would inquire if the Codorus Creek, which runs through Yorktown into the Susquehanna, was, or could be made navigable? |
40499 | And how can you discriminate such claims from those rising from savage depredations on your frontier settlers? |
40499 | And how would it be relished by them? |
40499 | And if they are given up, how are we to form seamen to man our future navy? |
40499 | And if war had been the consequence, how were we to have recovered the amount of the spoliations committed on the property of our merchants? |
40499 | And if, of right, they can carry these into effect, will they regard the means, though they be expressly pointed out? |
40499 | And if, under these circumstances, abused, would the injury be more tolerable? |
40499 | And is it not a principle that taxation and representation ought to go hand and hand? |
40499 | And is it not strange? |
40499 | And is not the sum now proposed more than either the first or last holder, till within these few days, supposed would be paid him? |
40499 | And 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? |
40499 | And is this indiscriminate charge, without the least respect to characters, a decent or a just return for a conduct like this? |
40499 | And on the previous question,"Shall the main question be now put?" |
40499 | And on the previous question,"Shall the said main question be now put?" |
40499 | And on the question, Shall the main question be now put? |
40499 | And on the question, shall the main question be now put? |
40499 | And pray, sir, what in the world is equal to it? |
40499 | And shall we now hesitate, and tamely suffer them to dictate to us? |
40499 | And the question was then put, Shall this bill be rejected? |
40499 | And then the main question being put, Do the House agree to the said third resolution, as reported by the Committee of the whole House? |
40499 | And then the main question,"That the House do agree to the said resolution?" |
40499 | And to guard herself against such measures, may we not expect she will lay her hand upon all our property on the ocean? |
40499 | And were they not partial ministers of their own acknowledged principles? |
40499 | And were they to judge for the whole Continent? |
40499 | And what might not be the consequence of their awakening from their lethargy? |
40499 | And 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? |
40499 | And what was the slender basis on which the presumption was built? |
40499 | And what, sir, would otherwise be the result? |
40499 | And whether certain tracts of land should be reserved by Congress for certain purposes? |
40499 | And whom, sir, do we mean to gratify? |
40499 | And why depend on Portugal? |
40499 | And why, let me ask, shall we go and fix upon the banks of a rapid river, when we can have a more healthful situation? |
40499 | And will the enemy wait till they can be collected? |
40499 | And would gentlemen say that the negotiation had not been attended with beneficial consequences to this country? |
40499 | And 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? |
40499 | And, 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? |
40499 | And, if we have, are we not to make use of it in judging of the expediency or inexpediency of the Treaty? |
40499 | And, secondly, Were there 60,000 inhabitants in the Territory? |
40499 | And, secondly, will such a construction warrant the establishment of the Bank? |
40499 | Are Republicans irresponsible? |
40499 | Are crimes more frequent in that country than in the other States? |
40499 | Are crimes more frequently committed there? |
40499 | Are despots alone to be reproached for unfeeling indifference to the tears and blood of their subjects? |
40499 | Are gentlemen afraid to leave them to their own unbiased judgment? |
40499 | Are gentlemen apprehensive we shall be led by this officer to adopt plans we should otherwise reject? |
40499 | Are not the annual revenues sufficient? |
40499 | Are not their capitals for trade larger than ours? |
40499 | Are our debts ascertained? |
40499 | Are taxes to be paid exclusively by the rich? |
40499 | Are the PRESIDENT and two- thirds of the Senate Congress? |
40499 | Are the eastern members to dictate in this business, and fix the seat of Government of the United States? |
40499 | Are the posts to remain for ever in the possession of Great Britain? |
40499 | Are the services of the Senate of more importance than those of the Representatives? |
40499 | Are the truths in it applicable to the great object we are about to decide? |
40499 | Are the very clods where we tread entitled to this ardent preference because they are greener? |
40499 | Are there more executions? |
40499 | Are these the men, asked Mr. C., who ought to have all this mass of Congressional odium cast upon them? |
40499 | Are they amenable to the people for their conduct? |
40499 | Are they not a polished people, sensible of the rights of mankind, and actuated by proper sentiments of humanity? |
40499 | Are 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? |
40499 | Are they the men to swallow their resentments, who so lately were choking with them? |
40499 | Are they the only people whose feelings are to be consulted on this occasion? |
40499 | Are they the only persons who possess religion and morality? |
40499 | Are they to look into another bill for that purpose? |
40499 | Are they, for the stealing of a horse, or some such thing, to cross the line in armed bodies, and act just as they please? |
40499 | Are we afraid that the President and Senate are not sufficiently informed to know their respective duties? |
40499 | Are we never to stand upon a certain and solid foundation? |
40499 | Are we not now sitting, in our sober discretion, a General Government, without the semblance of restraint? |
40499 | Are we not so deeply in debt as to give us reason to believe that it will require many years to emancipate ourselves? |
40499 | Are we not the sole judges; have we not a right to determine for ourselves? |
40499 | Are we sure that it will come back into our possession again? |
40499 | Are we to apply to foreign banks or individuals? |
40499 | Are we to apply to the banks already established in the States for loans? |
40499 | Are we to depend, then, on taxes for commanding money in cases of urgent necessity? |
40499 | Are 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? |
40499 | Are we to send a special committee to inform them? |
40499 | Are we to take the circuitous route of impeachment? |
40499 | Are you prepared to do so just now? |
40499 | Are you ready to answer? |
40499 | Are you ready to speak in your defence? |
40499 | As to the flag, how can it require an answer from the Senate? |
40499 | As to the third point, should not his estate be indemnified? |
40499 | BOUDINOT.--The question seems to turn merely on this point, whether the Vice President shall receive a per diem allowance, or an annual salary? |
40499 | Be it so-- what follows? |
40499 | Besides, where will this business of censorship end? |
40499 | But I ask gentlemen, whether Great Britain ever laid such a high duty in the first instance, as we are about to impose? |
40499 | But I would ask if there is any power under heaven which could not be exercised within the extensive limits of this preamble? |
40499 | But a distrust of the States is shown in every movement of Congress-- will not this implant distrust also in the States? |
40499 | But admitting that they would not fight, to what would the argument lead? |
40499 | But am I reduced to the necessity of proving this point? |
40499 | But are not gentlemen who come from the most distant parts of the Union, compelled to relinquish every thing to attend here? |
40499 | But are, he asked, gentlemen serious in these observations? |
40499 | But can public necessity be urged in the present case to justify this kind of political robbery? |
40499 | But did all this put an end to the war? |
40499 | But did they want to bring forward an impeachment? |
40499 | But do gentlemen consider the consequences of throwing all internal defence and distant expeditions upon the militia? |
40499 | But from which of these measures is danger to be apprehended? |
40499 | But gentlemen say,"Have we not as much power as the House of Commons in Great Britain?" |
40499 | But he asked, if such would not be a vain attempt? |
40499 | But he would ask those gentlemen, by whom the Government was to be dissolved? |
40499 | But how do gentlemen handle this question? |
40499 | But how does Congress get this power? |
40499 | But how does it interpose and compel? |
40499 | But how is it they are more concerned in this business than others? |
40499 | But how will you prevent them? |
40499 | But if it be partial or oppressive, are there not many instances in which we have laid taxes of this nature? |
40499 | But if it was politic to lay an impost on cordage, would it not be the same with regard to hemp? |
40499 | But if this were doubtful, where should they look for information? |
40499 | But if you have two hands, both in the fire at once, will you pull out one before the other? |
40499 | But is Congress going to legislate by strength of arm? |
40499 | But is not the Secretary of the Treasury subject to blame? |
40499 | But is there occasion for amendments to the Treaty- making power? |
40499 | But is this the case of the domestic creditor of the United States? |
40499 | But it is asked, if this Treaty be so unfavorable to commerce, why are the merchants so much in favor of it? |
40499 | But it may be demanded, how are the frontiers to be protected, if the army was disbanded? |
40499 | But it might be objected that a power so enormous, and comprehending such essential interests, might be abused, and thence asked, where is the remedy? |
40499 | But let me ask, will not this as effectually destroy some parts, as if the correction had been made by way of incorporation? |
40499 | But on what are a committee to confer? |
40499 | But suppose they decline doing what you require, what is next to be done? |
40499 | But supposing it to be done away, how do the constitutions of the different States stand on this head? |
40499 | But the question is, what is that will, as expressed in the constitution? |
40499 | But was South Carolina, at the commencement of the war, with all her slaves, backward in her resistance to Great Britain? |
40499 | But was there no justice also due to the people of the United States? |
40499 | But was this done by striking out and inserting other words in the great charter? |
40499 | But were there no other ways of cancelling a Treaty? |
40499 | But what are their immediate representatives to do, in case the bill be made perpetual? |
40499 | But what did he do? |
40499 | But what did the gentlemen who have delivered their sentiments say? |
40499 | But what does this signify? |
40499 | But what effect do these men suppose will arise from their exertions? |
40499 | But what funds are to defray the increased expense of maintaining such a force as is now contemplated? |
40499 | But what has been the practice? |
40499 | But what has been the result of the system which has been pursued ever since? |
40499 | But what has the House to do with this; or why should it become the censor and promulgator of the speeches of its own members? |
40499 | But what have been the fruits of it? |
40499 | But what have the citizens of the other States to do with our slaves? |
40499 | But what is a law? |
40499 | But what is the necessity of having a numerous representation? |
40499 | But what is the object of the motion? |
40499 | But what is the objection? |
40499 | But what is this general welfare? |
40499 | But what is this liberty which some appear to be so fond of? |
40499 | But what is to prevent the greatest imposition in this business? |
40499 | But what more can we do than pass a law for the purpose? |
40499 | But what occasion is there for adopting such a resolution? |
40499 | But what was the case? |
40499 | But what would become of the acts of Congress? |
40499 | But what, in this state of things, would restrain their piratical cruisers in the West Indies? |
40499 | But where is the necessity of raising the impost to this degree? |
40499 | But where was the government that had funded its debts under the circumstances of the American debt? |
40499 | But who started this question? |
40499 | But why did the creditors part with their acknowledgment of the debt? |
40499 | But why do these men set themselves up in such a particular manner against slavery? |
40499 | But why is this degree of caution necessary? |
40499 | But why is this desirable? |
40499 | But why should we lose time to examine the theory when it is in our power to resort to experience? |
40499 | But why will gentlemen contend for incorporating amendments into the constitution? |
40499 | But why, Mr. Chairman, should we hasten on this business of funding? |
40499 | But would gentlemen infer from hence, that no alteration ought to take place if the manufactures were well established? |
40499 | But, asked he, are precedents in war to justify violations of private and State rights in a time of peace? |
40499 | But, if the sum voted was too small, what would be the consequence? |
40499 | But, in taking the principle of territory, are the House to calculate on the uninhabited wilderness? |
40499 | But, instead of this, what is proposed? |
40499 | But, let me ask, if the Treaty should not be carried into effect, will that relieve that deserving class of our citizens? |
40499 | But, said Mr. W., let us waive this subject, and inquire if negotiation had failed, whether war would not have been the consequence? |
40499 | But, say those who hide the absurdity under the cover of ambiguous phrases, have we no discretion? |
40499 | But, sir, is the whole morality of the United States confined to the Quakers? |
40499 | But, sir, what is the situation of the people who hold these bills? |
40499 | By applying proper rules of interpretation? |
40499 | By emissions of bills of credit? |
40499 | By loans at home? |
40499 | By taxes? |
40499 | By what magic can it be made to appear it will be more proper at the end of ten years? |
40499 | By what provision of the constitution is the Treaty- making power, agreeably to the construction of the gentlemen, limited? |
40499 | By whom, then, he would ask again, was the Government to be dissolved? |
40499 | Can a market be obtained without the merchant? |
40499 | Can any body of men to be raised in this country tread down the substantial yeomanry? |
40499 | Can any of the Secretary''s plans be called bills? |
40499 | Can any person, who has read our constitution, believe that it is in our power to pass a law without limitation? |
40499 | Can any reason be assigned for making this distinction? |
40499 | Can any solid argument against the resolution on the table arise from a conduct of this kind? |
40499 | Can any thing show more friendly to the Union than adopting the constitution, and sending us here to administer it? |
40499 | Can 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? |
40499 | Can gentlemen state more serious apprehensions in the former than the latter case? |
40499 | Can it be supposed it would be necessary, said he, to give any member of this House double pay to accept of the office? |
40499 | Can it be supposed that a part will be more desirous of promoting the good of the whole than the whole will of the part? |
40499 | Can it be supposed that such a character as this is influenced by such a motive? |
40499 | Can it be supposed that the name of Senators will render those members superior to their fellow- citizens? |
40499 | Can not his friends introduce it as their own, by making and seconding a motion for that purpose? |
40499 | Can the House listen seriously to such a proposition? |
40499 | Can the advocates of the amendment even affect apprehensions that there is any intention to introduce a foreign nobility as a privileged order? |
40499 | Can the human mind retain, with any great degree of decision, objects so extensive and multifarious upon a mere oral communication? |
40499 | Can there be any foundation for alarm, when Congress expressly declare, that they have no power of interference prior to the year 1808? |
40499 | Can they expect the planters to come in a body, and take off their goods upon their arrival? |
40499 | Can things certain be balanced by things uncertain? |
40499 | Can this Government, said he, protect its officers from the resentment of any one State in the Union? |
40499 | Can this be the inference of common sense? |
40499 | Can this possibly be a true construction of the Treaty- making power? |
40499 | Can this, then, he would ask, be a bill proper to perpetuate, or fit for the restoration of the credit of the United States? |
40499 | Can two parties exist in a well organized Government to dispute about property, and have no judge? |
40499 | Can we desire any thing more ardently than a termination of the Indian war? |
40499 | Can we find that she ever imposed a duty of six cents per gallon on molasses? |
40499 | Can we retribute the sufferings which have been caused by the depreciation of our currency? |
40499 | Can you then recover the money back again? |
40499 | Certainly gentlemen would not pretend to bestow a privilege upon a man which he is incapable of using? |
40499 | Congress having no money to give them, offered something; what? |
40499 | Constituents made no scruple to tell Representatives of their faults, and he saw no reason why Representatives might not tell constituents of theirs? |
40499 | Could any man tell? |
40499 | Could any possible wrong be done to those who hold the domestic debt, by estimating it at its current value? |
40499 | Could he look with affection and veneration to such a country as his parent? |
40499 | Could it be pretended there was a shadow of authority given to the House of Representatives? |
40499 | Could the House, in this case, exercise its discretion, whether or no a Convention should be called? |
40499 | Could this be the fair construction of our so much boasted constitution? |
40499 | Could we say, in such a case, that the tax had been uniform? |
40499 | Did France before this war give us free trade to her colonies? |
40499 | Did Holland, before the present war, open to us all her rich possessions in the East Indies? |

40499 | Did any member wish at this period to attempt this inquiry? |
40499 | Did gentlemen wish to re- establish a temporary Territorial Government there? |
40499 | Did he imagine that, as it is, they are not kept in a perpetual state of alarm, of exertion, and of danger? |
40499 | Did it authorize a perpetual tax, irrepealable by the whole Legislature, without a breach of faith, according to received doctrine? |
40499 | Did it authorize a plan for supplying former deficiencies, which it is admitted do not exist? |
40499 | Did it authorize an entire provision for the public debt, past, present, and to come? |
40499 | Did 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? |
40499 | Did it condemn the doctrine of the majority? |
40499 | Did it encourage the hopes of those who wished the establishment of Government upon the principle of equal rights? |
40499 | Did it lead to a discovery of truth? |
40499 | Did it not rivet the chains upon the people of England? |
40499 | Did it render the people of Ireland more respectable in the eyes of the people of the United States? |
40499 | Did not New York dispose of lands within her chartered limits, and from the sales become wealthy, as she has large sums in the funds? |
40499 | Did not duty require a provision for the defence and safety of the United States by_ internal_ resources? |
40499 | Did not this mean something more than the bare discharge of their expenses? |
40499 | Did the General enter into these engagements out of personal regard to individuals, without a view to the public interest? |
40499 | Did the House imagine that their censure, like the wand of a magician, would lay a spell on these people? |
40499 | Did the Secretary apply the money borrowed in Europe agreeably to the legal appropriations and the instructions of the PRESIDENT? |
40499 | Did the Secretary of the Treasury apply the money to other uses than the law directed? |
40499 | Did the soldier accept of this offer? |
40499 | Did these acts originate with the Executive? |
40499 | Did they consider this House as the only branch from which any danger was to be apprehended? |
40499 | Did they contribute to strengthen the country against invasion by staying at home and joining the invader as soon as he was successful? |
40499 | Did they mean to rob the Almighty of what they call his prerogative? |
40499 | Did they mean, that the first event which would put an end to their own authority should be the last act of Government? |
40499 | Did they not refuse to correspond with any society that aided, or in any manner abetted, the insurrection? |
40499 | Did they not, in the most pointed manner, discountenance any such proceeding? |
40499 | Did they suspect the Legislature of doing wrong? |
40499 | Did they turn themselves to industry and useful pursuits? |
40499 | Did they, by their arms or contributions, establish our independence? |
40499 | Did this act of submission render them more respectable in the eyes of the people of England? |
40499 | Did this passage show that the PRESIDENT wanted them to intermeddle? |
40499 | Did we go to the Emperor of Morocco, or to the Dey of Algiers, and challenge a passage for our ships up the Mediterranean? |
40499 | Did we intend to rival the military establishments in Europe? |
40499 | Did we judiciously examine whether the spirit of the law accords with the habits and manners of the people? |
40499 | Do gentlemen conceive that on any occasion instructions would be so general as to proceed from all our constituents? |
40499 | Do gentlemen contemplate to what issue these principles would lead? |
40499 | Do gentlemen foresee the extent of these words? |
40499 | Do gentlemen imagine that State will join the Union? |
40499 | Do gentlemen mean that he shall give it piecemeal, by way of question and answer? |
40499 | Do gentlemen suppose our laws, like those of the Medes and Persians, unchangeable? |
40499 | Do gentlemen, said he, consider the importance of the power they give the officer by the clause? |
40499 | Do the United States avenge these murders? |
40499 | Do these gentlemen require any thing more respecting the powers of Congress, than a description of the ends of government? |
40499 | Do these men expect a general emancipation of slaves by law? |
40499 | Do they believe the capitals of those banks adequate to the exigencies of the nation? |
40499 | Do they demand back the property carried off? |
40499 | Do they leave their State and relinquish their occupations? |
40499 | Do they mean to purchase their freedom? |
40499 | Do they not admit that He is the source of all good, and can they refuse to acknowledge it? |
40499 | Do they not observe that the fate of the Government is deeply involved in the decision? |
40499 | Do they understand the rights of mankind, and the disposition of Providence, better than others? |
40499 | Do we charge bribery or corruption? |
40499 | Do we ever originate any money bill? |
40499 | Do we impeach the Executive? |
40499 | Do you know one Robert Randall? |
40499 | Do you mean to pay the principal and interest now due? |
40499 | Do you think we should pay the tax? |
40499 | Does Portugal open the Brazils? |
40499 | Does Spain open her rich islands in the East and West Indies, and her immense possessions in South America? |
40499 | Does any gentleman expect, while we have a public debt, to prevent speculation in our funds? |
40499 | Does any gentleman imagine that an officer is entitled to his office as to an estate? |
40499 | Does experience sanction such an opinion? |
40499 | Does he infer that the people can, in detached bodies, contravene an act established by the whole people? |
40499 | Does he mean that it shall lie dormant and never be exercised? |
40499 | Does it consist in the exaltation of one man, and the humiliation of the rest? |
40499 | Does it contain any thing which is not true? |
40499 | Does not that new order prohibit, as much as ever, American vessels from carrying provisions to the West India Islands? |
40499 | Does not the British Government wish to deprive us of this branch also? |
40499 | Does she not receive every thing which she could have demanded in relation to that Treaty? |
40499 | Does she, in the Treaty lately made, open even Florida, as Great Britain has Canada? |
40499 | Does the House believe this? |
40499 | Does the dignity of a nation consist in the distance between the first magistrate and his citizens? |
40499 | Does the gentleman conceive that such only are delegated as are expressed? |
40499 | Does the lawyer neglect his client? |
40499 | Does the merchant forego his commerce, or the farmer his agriculture? |
40499 | Does this look like a democracy, when one of the first acts of the two branches of the Legislature is to confer titles? |
40499 | Does this mean a part of the people in a township or district, or does it mean the representatives in the State Legislatures? |
40499 | First, what article shall be the subject of a particular tax, and what shall remain in the common mass liable to an impost_ ad valorem_? |
40499 | For what is the tendency of this counterfeit alarm? |
40499 | For what purpose, then, shall it be committed? |
40499 | For what reason have we made a difference between the President and Vice President? |
40499 | For what rights of a citizen will be deemed inviolable when a State renounces the principles that constitute their security? |
40499 | From whence, he asked, do we acquire the authority to exercise this power? |
40499 | Gentlemen had said, Shall this House not have as much power respecting Treaties as the House of Commons in Great Britain? |
40499 | Gentlemen on the other side had spoken of their feelings; did they suppose, he asked, that those who were in the majority had not feelings? |
40499 | Gentlemen say it will work injustice; but are we not as much bound to repair the injustice done by the United States? |
40499 | Gentlemen say the Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for the information he gives the House-- in what manner does this responsibility act? |
40499 | Gentlemen say-- why provide the money if it be not wanted? |
40499 | Gentlemen talked about impeachment? |
40499 | Government, in the most solemn manner, pledged itself to make compensation to the soldiers, have they done it? |
40499 | Grant it; but can they say that we shall never have a war with any European power? |
40499 | Great Britain obtained no soldiers from her East and West India settlements, were they therefore useless? |
40499 | Had experience proved that the negroes would not make good soldiers? |
40499 | Had it a concurrent right with the States? |
40499 | Had not our neutrality been the occasion of our wealth and prosperity? |
40499 | Had not the managers of our Government kept a watchful eye on our affairs? |
40499 | Had she a claim under the Treaty of 1783, which is forgotten? |
40499 | Had the Executive avowed the plan of the Secretary of War, or his reasoning? |
40499 | Had the public mind been less disturbed on the late Treaty than in 1793? |
40499 | Had 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? |
40499 | Had they done so? |
40499 | Had 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? |
40499 | Had this done any good to the cause? |
40499 | Has not the Legislature done so before? |
40499 | Has that been altered since by the incorporation of amendments? |
40499 | Has the constitution made this House a diplomatic body, invested with the powers of negotiation? |
40499 | Have any nations in the present European war, premised their operations by a declaration? |
40499 | Have not express charges, as well as vague rumors, been brought against him at the bar of the public? |
40499 | Have not the public a right to know the sentiments of the House on every question? |
40499 | Have the newspapers reprobated it? |
40499 | Have the principles on which you ground the reproach upon Cabinets and Kings no practical influence-- no binding force? |
40499 | Have there not bills originated in this House which have caused the expenditure of much money to very little purpose? |
40499 | Have these people here( the Democratic societies) any such opportunity? |
40499 | Have they any right to interfere with our internal policy? |
40499 | Have they not pushed conquests into the Indian country north- west of the Ohio? |
40499 | Have they precedent for this assertion? |
40499 | Have we heard any complaints against it? |
40499 | Have we not laid extra duties on various articles, expressly for the purpose of encouraging various branches of our own manufactures? |
40499 | Have we not, said he, been one of the happiest nations upon earth? |
40499 | Have we received a power to exercise in wantonly oppressing those who gave it? |
40499 | Have we, in truth, originated this money bill? |
40499 | Have you any proof to cite that you are not guilty? |
40499 | Have you got any new associates in this city? |
40499 | Having stated these preliminaries, Mr. B. proceeded to inquire what were the powers attempted to be exercised by this bill? |
40499 | Having this advantage, can it be doubted that we have not industry and enterprise to improve it? |
40499 | He adverted to the idea of direct taxation, and inquired, on what principle will gentlemen consent to this mode of raising the necessary supplies? |
40499 | He appealed to the feelings of every honorable man in the committee, whether demands for justice and reparation for injuries were enforced by threats? |
40499 | He asked if any of the States had ever established various rates for their lands? |
40499 | He asked if the Creeks performed a single tittle of the treaty of New York, about which there had been so much parade? |
40499 | He asked if, before the purchase, the certificates were debts due from the United States? |
40499 | He asked if, in the present situation of the country, all dependence was to be placed on commerce? |
40499 | He asked what better time there was than the present for settling the amount of these claims? |
40499 | He asked what would this countervail be? |
40499 | He asked whether this Government was intended for a temporary or a lasting one? |
40499 | He 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? |
40499 | He 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? |
40499 | He asked, upon parallel principles, what might Congress not do? |
40499 | He asked, what was the authority of the United States? |
40499 | He asked, who would lend us money, if there was such a difficulty in establishing funds to pay the interest of it? |
40499 | He 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? |
40499 | He had said, how could they determine whether the Treaty was constitutional or not, or whether an impeachment was necessary, without information? |
40499 | He inquired how the gentleman proposed to get information? |
40499 | He inquired of him whether the House itself went into an investigation of facts in the first instance? |
40499 | He inquired whether the House were to sanction and authorize the reports of the proposed stenographer? |
40499 | He 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? |
40499 | He only wanted to ask whether the call for yeas and nays was withdrawn or not? |
40499 | He proceeded to inquire whether this clause gives them the right to make Treaties the supreme law of the land? |
40499 | He said, gentlemen asked who would be offended or hurt by this plan? |
40499 | He then inquired what better time there could be for learning the number and extent of the losses than the present? |
40499 | He then inquired whether, under the existing state of things, the Treaty ought to be rejected? |
40499 | He then inquired, of what right does this incorporation deprive a single citizen? |
40499 | He thought it advisable to guard against abuses; but has this abuse not already taken place? |
40499 | He was next interrogated by the SPEAKER, as follows: Are you guilty, or not guilty? |
40499 | He was then asked, whether the call of yesterday was valid to- day, or if it was necessary for the members to rise over again? |
40499 | He would inquire how they became so? |
40499 | He would inquire what Treaties could be entered into by the PRESIDENT and Senate, without infringing upon the powers placed in Congress? |
40499 | His first inquiry, he said, should be, whether negroes were to be considered as property? |
40499 | How are the judges to determine in the case; are they to be guided in their decisions by the rules of expediency? |
40499 | How are those sentiments reconcilable to the oath we have taken? |
40499 | How are we to form one? |
40499 | How can gentlemen answer for this, who call themselves representatives, on the broad basis of national interest? |
40499 | How 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? |
40499 | How can the business originate in this House, if we have it reported to us by the Minister of Finance? |
40499 | How can they reconcile their conduct? |
40499 | How can we help it? |
40499 | How could certain members reconcile this proceeding with their former votes and language? |
40499 | How could it then bear a comparison with that House, who were chosen by the whole people every two years? |
40499 | How could they annul a State law, when the State would be able to plead a precedent on the part of Congress? |
40499 | How could they be called freemen, if they were, against their consent, to be expelled from the country? |
40499 | How could they delegate a power to others which they did not possess themselves? |
40499 | How did that appear? |
40499 | How is this to be done? |
40499 | How long could an enlightened people remain in such a state of insensibility and torpor? |
40499 | How many of them are springing up in the Northern States? |
40499 | How many ways of proceeding lie open before us? |
40499 | How retaliate? |
40499 | How then can gentlemen assert that the powers of appointment and removal are incident to the Executive Department of Government? |
40499 | How then do you propose to restrain the Secretary of the Treasury? |
40499 | How then was he to find evidence of his behavior during such a length of time? |
40499 | How was that money applied, and what will now be necessary? |
40499 | How was this done? |
40499 | How was this to settle the principle of excise? |
40499 | How were they to regulate commerce? |
40499 | How were we to act? |
40499 | How will he please both? |
40499 | How will they know the laws, if we do not understand the constitution after it has been in operation for nearly eight years? |
40499 | How will this doctrine operate upon the power of appropriation? |
40499 | How would he embarrass his family and property in such engagements? |
40499 | How, then, can gentlemen from those States contend that the proposed duty is so much too high as to occasion the fatal consequences they foretell? |
40499 | How, then, can gentlemen reconcile their conduct of this day to the liberality they have hitherto shown? |
40499 | How, then, can gentlemen suppose the revenue ought to be perpetual, in order to be commensurate with the object? |
40499 | How, then, is it possible they can continue their trade, when you lop off another part of their capital? |
40499 | I am sensible this Treaty presents itself with an unfavorable aspect, and what is the reason? |
40499 | I ask again, Mr. Chairman, if the people of this country possess less power than the people of that despotic Government? |
40499 | I ask gentlemen, can there be a greater evil than this in any Government? |
40499 | I ask, further, when such attempts have been made, have they not failed of success? |
40499 | I 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? |
40499 | I asked, is not the assignment of certificates confirmed by the motion? |
40499 | I asked, of what is the assignee deprived but of his late sanguine expectations? |
40499 | I 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? |
40499 | I asked, whether the proposition before us does not rather establish confidence in Government than the contrary? |
40499 | I can not, for my part, conceive how any person can be said to acquire a property in another; is it by virtue of conquest? |
40499 | I 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? |
40499 | I resort especially to the convictions of the Western gentlemen, whether, supposing no posts and no Treaty, the settlers will remain in security? |
40499 | I say, would not such reflections, with ruin before our eyes, produce a degree of irritation in the most calm amongst us? |
40499 | I 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? |
40499 | I will ask the gentleman by what precise authority he borrowed the money in Amsterdam and Antwerp, and paid it in Paris? |
40499 | I will ask, are they more? |
40499 | I will ask, though, is this country ever to be in a settled and quiet state? |
40499 | I will ask, was it ever known in a Treaty, that a stipulation was made to give up property plundered after the peace? |
40499 | I wish, therefore, to be ascertained of one fact, do the army wish a measure of this kind to take place? |
40499 | I wonder where they are going so cheerfully?" |
40499 | I would ask what state we were in then? |
40499 | I would ask, if the other members of the Union are not also to be consulted? |
40499 | I would beg to ask those, then, who are desirous of freeing the negroes, if they have funds sufficient to pay for them? |
40499 | If I receive a favor, what but the sentiment of gratitude ought to direct me in my acknowledgments? |
40499 | If a cargo of nails were to be sent to Carolina, I would be glad to know how we are to purchase it? |
40499 | If a law is the expression of the will, must not an appropriation law be equally so? |
40499 | If a permanent seat is established, why not go to it immediately? |
40499 | If a war should suddenly break out, how is Congress to provide for it? |
40499 | If a wish of Congress can bring them into the Union, why should we decline to express such a wish? |
40499 | If any article is warranted on this account, how much more are we authorized to proceed on this occasion? |
40499 | If authority beyond this is assumed, however trifling the encroachment at first, where will it stop? |
40499 | If by the ill- timed promulgation of this report, we have laid the foundation for the calamity, ought we not to counteract it? |
40499 | If every member is to be bound by instructions how to vote, what are gentlemen from the extremities of the continent to do? |
40499 | If future difficulties should involve that nation still further, what must be the consequence? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If his father had lived a few years longer, would there have arisen any question on this subject? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If it is, is the conclusion not obvious, that Congress have power to pass laws for carrying these powers into effect? |
40499 | If merchants can not get insurance, will they send their vessels out? |
40499 | If not, then, 2dly, Whether both, or either, and which of them, ought to be ratified? |
40499 | If our Senate should take any unwarrantable stride towards aristocracy, have we not the power to check them? |
40499 | If sequestration is hostility, as he had heard it called, what, he asked, is condemnation? |
40499 | If so, to what an extent must they go? |
40499 | If so, what was that expense, or what will be the probable increase? |
40499 | If so, will there be any economy in this mode of procedure? |
40499 | If suspicion had so long existed against the integrity of the Secretary, why was not information called for at the beginning of the session? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If the House undertake to censure particular classes of men, who can tell where they will stop? |
40499 | If the Indians are to be kept in peace by bribes, why not, in this, as in other similar cases, by presents and pecuniary rewards? |
40499 | If the PRESIDENT and two- thirds of the Senate have a right to make a law, do Congress make all laws? |
40499 | If the Potomac is struck out, are you sure of getting Baltimore? |
40499 | If the Secretary has paid what was due, what then is the complaint? |
40499 | If the Treaty had been the most complete and satisfactory, would it not be necessary to leave something to enforce its execution? |
40499 | If the controlling influence of this House was added, would the power be less? |
40499 | If the country had been plunged into a war, would it be as flourishing as it is? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If the next Legislature were disposed to violate the public honor, would the law now under consideration stand in their way? |
40499 | If the officer misbehaves, he can be removed by impeachment; but in this case is impeachment the only mode of removal? |
40499 | If the power flows from the nature and necessity of the case, it may be demanded, is the renot equal authority for the Bank? |
40499 | If the thing is in itself right, why refuse to vote directly for it? |
40499 | If then the fishermen ask you to restore only their own money, will you deny them? |
40499 | If these facts are established by the committee, would it give equal satisfaction as if they were established by the House? |
40499 | If these were really their sentiments, why did they not abide by them? |
40499 | If they are, will they take them by force? |
40499 | If they come here with badges at their button- holes, can you forbid them? |
40499 | If they do, what is the injury arising from the adoption of the resolution intended to be submitted to the committee? |
40499 | If they had such an abhorrence for slavery, why, said Mr. S., did they not cast us off and reject our alliance? |
40499 | If they intermeddle in the business of sailors, why not in that of manufacturers and farmers? |
40499 | If they will not be content with that, shall it be committed to investigate facts? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If this doctrine prevails, to what a situation would the Representatives of a free people be reduced? |
40499 | If this is the case, does it not imply a censure by the House on certain characters? |
40499 | If this is the case, is there any person of humanity that would not wish to prevent them? |
40499 | If this is the case, will a revenue law for one or two years bring that relief which is expected? |
40499 | If 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? |
40499 | If this right was denied them, where would the principle stop? |
40499 | If this system should prevail, were we to receive British productions through other countries? |
40499 | If to continue in session be an evil, why are we here? |
40499 | If we are parties, what would be the decision before a court of justice? |
40499 | If we do not mean to deceive, why not make the provision commensurate to the occasion? |
40499 | If we pay this attention to them, in one instance, what good reason is there for contemning them in another? |
40499 | If we refuse to say that the act itself is a crime, how can we condemn Randall as criminal? |
40499 | If we relinquish this branch of the cod fishery, what is left us? |
40499 | If we should go as far South as Baltimore, why not an equal distance south- west to the Potomac? |
40499 | If what he said was not sufficient to disprove it, he asked where is the evidence to support it? |
40499 | If you do not mean to indemnify, why inquire at all? |
40499 | If, then, they chose to yield one species of property, might they not another? |
40499 | If, therefore, some interpretation of the constitution must be indulged, by what rules is it to be governed? |
40499 | If, therefore, we are forewarned, ought we not to be forearmed? |
40499 | In addition to the loss of this Government, would not every member of the Legislature, he asked, lose his character, credit, and reputation? |
40499 | In 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? |
40499 | In cases of a more serious kind, is not sentiment the only prompt and enlightened guide of our conduct? |
40499 | In discussing the question, he inquired, What has Congress already done? |
40499 | In favor of the militia, it may be asked, who fought the battle of Bunker''s Hill? |
40499 | In 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? |
40499 | In short, was not this a kind of argument infinitely more tending to the production of prejudice than to the discovery of truth? |
40499 | In 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? |
40499 | In such case, may not titles do an injury to the Union? |
40499 | In this case a question arises: What is, upon the whole, most just and expedient? |
40499 | In what does the case differ between the depreciated paper and the certificates? |
40499 | In what manner had this trust been carried into execution? |
40499 | In what mode are the memorialists to be informed of our humane dispositions? |
40499 | Instead of Baltimore, is it not probable we may have Susquehanna inserted, perhaps the Delaware? |
40499 | Is Congress vested with power to grant privileges contained in the bill? |
40499 | Is he absolutely bound to perform what he is instructed to do? |
40499 | Is his maxim supported by precedent drawn from the practice of the individual States? |
40499 | Is it a narrow affection for the spot where a man was born? |
40499 | Is it among the archives? |
40499 | Is it because the feelings of the Friends will be hurt to have their affair conducted in the usual course of business? |
40499 | Is it contended to be out of order? |
40499 | Is it expected that a Senator shall eat more, or drink more costly liquors, than a member of the House of Representatives? |
40499 | Is it expected, said Mr. N., that I am to abandon my independence for the sake of the PRESIDENT? |
40499 | Is it for the_ undaunted_ and_ energetic_ countenance of the cause of France, in her struggle for freeing herself from despotic shackles? |
40499 | Is it from such a nation( he asked) that we are to hope for justice? |
40499 | Is it limited by any law past? |
40499 | Is it limited by the provisions with respect to appropriations? |
40499 | Is 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? |

40499 | Is it not on account of his superior station and his dignity? |
40499 | Is it not our business to inquire into the cause of this strange conduct? |
40499 | Is it not part of our legislative authority? |
40499 | Is it not sufficient that their time and talents are given to the public? |
40499 | Is it not the duty of the House to check this spirit of devastation? |
40499 | Is it our present President? |
40499 | Is it polite, is it generous, to force him to renounce it? |
40499 | Is it politic and wise, then, Mr. Chairman, to exert the power contended for, even if it be authorized by the constitution? |
40499 | Is it possible that any man can be hardy enough to avow them, and their ridiculous consequences? |
40499 | Is it possible that these societies can exist, for any length of time, when they are of no real use to the country? |
40499 | Is it possible to transport the revenue from one end of the continent to the other? |
40499 | Is it pretended that the services and supplies were an inadequate compensation? |
40499 | Is it reasonable to expect that men should sacrifice domestic ease and the interests of their families to serve their country? |
40499 | Is it supposed that all this matter can go off without any noise or combustion? |
40499 | Is it the_ manly_ demand of restitution made of Great Britain for her accumulated injuries that called forth the praise? |
40499 | Is it to rouse again the sleeping apparitions which have disturbed the back country? |
40499 | Is it to show that the mock dangers which they have pretended to dread are real? |
40499 | Is it to them we owe our present happiness? |
40499 | Is it true, that an unwillingness to pay debts hath been the principal cause of opposition to this Treaty? |
40499 | Is it within the powers of this Congress to grant bounties? |
40499 | Is it worthy the attention of Government that the cod fishery should be preserved? |
40499 | Is it written? |
40499 | Is not our public credit totally gone? |
40499 | Is not the assignment of the certificates confirmed by the nation? |
40499 | Is not the present a most favorable opportunity for holding up these people to popular resentment? |
40499 | Is not this House excluded? |
40499 | Is not this, as a principle, as novel, as improper, as that which alarms our opponents? |
40499 | Is not, therefore, eight cents disproportioned to the rates fixed, or intended to be imposed on other articles? |
40499 | Is that nation more debased than others? |
40499 | Is the House to be told that, for the sake of harmony, they must give up their own powers and opinions? |
40499 | Is the House to consider the present, or the expected population? |
40499 | Is 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? |
40499 | Is the confidence of the people in the services, and patriotism, and wisdom of the Chief Magistrate diminished? |
40499 | Is the power of establishing an incorporated bank among the powers vested by the constitution in the Legislature of the United States? |
40499 | Is the zeal of gentlemen, who oppose this design, influenced by their despair of removing the seat of Government afterwards? |

40499 | Is there a reciprocal stipulation by Great Britain with respect to the articles unexecuted by her? |
40499 | Is there another point of law and justice for the Government? |
40499 | Is there any difference in effect between lodging general powers in a government, and permitting the exercise of them by subtle constructions? |
40499 | Is there any fair construction by which the bill can be deemed an exercise of the power to borrow money? |
40499 | Is there any impropriety in desiring them to consider a question which they have not yet decided? |
40499 | Is there any impropriety in paying this mark of respect to a man to whom all America owes such indelible obligations? |
40499 | Is there any other head proposed to be on the coin but the President''s? |
40499 | Is there any thing improper or unwise in this determination? |
40499 | Is there any thing wrong in this? |
40499 | Is there any time when the civil list will cease its demand? |
40499 | Is there not more responsibility in one man than in large bodies? |
40499 | Is this House to negotiate the Treaty over again? |

40499 | Is this exciting mobs? |
40499 | Is this fair? |
40499 | Is this gratitude or insult? |
40499 | Is this language to be used within the United States? |
40499 | Is this pursuing a liberal system of politics? |
40499 | Is this right, is this just, that all our rights should be thus bartered away under a Treaty- making power? |
40499 | Is this so? |
40499 | Is this the peace gentlemen undertake, with such fearless confidence, to maintain? |
40499 | Is this to be the style of an American Congress? |
40499 | Is this, he asked, consonant to the feelings of the House, and shall they not attempt to counteract its effects in the only constitutional manner? |
40499 | It does not call for any thing to be done, then why a reference? |

40499 | It had been asked why the call for information had not been sooner made? |
40499 | It had been asked, what control the House were to have over this officer? |
40499 | It has been asked, Is not the Senate as worthy of the confidence of the citizens of the United States as this House? |
40499 | It has, indeed, been said, it will shorten our sessions; but would this be a benefit? |
40499 | It is more than probable she will, and if she should, what remedy have we? |
40499 | It is not for his gratification; for whose, then, are we to do this? |
40499 | It is only to be inquired, then, whether this was a proper subject of retaliation? |
40499 | It is said we have not done much, and what we have done is merely our duty, for which we receive wages? |
40499 | It is the commercial importance of the city of London which makes it the seat of Government; and what is the consequence? |
40499 | It is true, we may live for two dollars a day; but how? |
40499 | It may be a future question, also, whether he is to be dismissed when the galleries are cleared? |
40499 | It was a payment of our_ bona fide_ debts; what could we do? |

40499 | It was asked, by what means is the Government to administer redress? |
40499 | It was asked, what would be the consequence of refusing to carry the Treaty into effect? |
40499 | It was enough to fix the general principles, viz: Whether there shall be a General Land Officer and two subordinates? |
40499 | It was nothing more or less than, would they or would they not now appropriate moneys to carry the British Treaty into effect? |
40499 | It was true, that a proposition for postponement was made, but what was the extent of that postponement? |
40499 | JACKSON.--Do not gentlemen think there is some danger on the other side? |
40499 | Lastly, did it authorize an extensive increase of the Sinking Fund, which we are informed is one of the principal objects? |
40499 | Let me ask gentlemen, if they, or any of their connections, would accept an appointment under this law, with such an exceptionable clause in it? |
40499 | Let me ask, why there is for ever so much complaint against Great Britain because she does not open all her colonies freely to us? |
40499 | Let us pause for a moment, and ask, Was this possible? |
40499 | Let us, then, inquire, is the constituting a public bank necessary to these important and essential ends of Government? |
40499 | Lewis.--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? |
40499 | Little or nothing: how then could he ascertain who was a proper person to legislate or judge of the laws? |
40499 | Look at the constitution of Great Britain; is that all contained in one instrument? |
40499 | MADISON?) |
40499 | Major Torrey died in September, 1783; shall this body decide against the settled rule of all the law courts? |
40499 | Many 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? |
40499 | May no other place be proposed? |
40499 | May not Congress with equal propriety, undertake to regulate the tobacco, the rice, and indigo trade, as well as that of the fisheries? |
40499 | May we promise ourselves more success in negotiation by laying down our arms, or by retaining them? |
40499 | Might they not say that they were betwixt nations what bargains were betwixt individuals? |

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

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

40499 | What is the centre of wealth, population, and territory? |

40499 | What is the purport of the memorial? |

40499 | What is your usual place of residence? |
40499 | What justifies these harsh epithets? |
40499 | What kind of a business would this be? |
40499 | What kind of reasoning was this, or how did the gentleman propose to reconcile it? |
40499 | What man is there here that can be wicked enough to involve his country in such incalculable miseries? |
40499 | What may Great Britain expect, if we will not settle our differences by negotiation? |

47289 | 28; what plans are offered for replenishing it? |
47289 | 294; what did mechanics here say relative to granting this charter? |
47289 | 29; consequences of non- intercourse under such circumstances, 30; who has been the first aggressor? |
47289 | 29; if we are to have war, with whom is it to be prosecuted? |
47289 | 29; under these circumstances what is the course that policy would dictate to this country to pursue? |
47289 | 2d, is it expedient? |
47289 | 354; as to France, what are the edicts revoked, and how? |
47289 | 359; are we prepared for those conditions? |
47289 | 368; are we bound by any faithful performance had on the part of France? |
47289 | 368; have either France or Great Britain complied with the condition? |
47289 | 369; is this an honest neutrality to revive the restrictive system against Great Britain, while the French decrees are still in force? |
47289 | 369; must this sacrifice be made in order to bolster up the President''s proclamation so prematurely issued? |
47289 | 369; the present measure is intended as a propitiatory sacrifice to conciliate Napoleon, 369; is it calculated to produce this effect? |
47289 | 372; under the act of May, 1810, 372; what is its character and the obligations arising under it? |
47289 | 373; the occurrence of the fact of revocation involves the propriety of the proclamation, 373; has the fact occurred? |
47289 | 388; has a similar temper and disposition been shown to Great Britain as to France, in the interpretation of the Cadore letter? |
47289 | 407; who are most interested in commerce; the growers of the articles, or the factors, or freighters employed in their exchange? |
47289 | 434; it would be necessary to know the ulterior views of the committee, 434; for what purpose are these troops wanted? |
47289 | 448; gentlemen will not say, we have not a good cause for war, but insist that it is our duty to define it, 448; what do they mean by this? |
47289 | 475; in such statutes there are always exceptions, 475; what would be the course of an individual? |
47289 | 600; where is your commerce to protect? |
47289 | 603; what were the preparations for the Revolutionary war? |
47289 | 624; is there probability of obtaining a recognition of this principle by a continuance of the war? |
47289 | 636; were ever a body of men so abandoned in the hour of need as the American Cabinet by Bonaparte? |
47289 | 698; what did an elevated fitness of character and conduct require of this nation when war was declared? |
47289 | 6; it was a farce, 6; ample time had been given for her to make other arrangements, 6; what accounts have we from there? |
47289 | 70; what are the reasons why the embargo has not come fully up to the expectations of its supporters? |
47289 | 70; yet it has been particularly serviceable in many instances? |
47289 | 75 Blind Alice; A Tale for Good Children, 38 Ellen Leslie; or, The Reward of Self- Control, 38 Florence Arnott; or, Is She Generous? |
47289 | 84; it is not expedient to adopt the second resolution, 84; what will be the effect of the embargo, if continued, as respects ourselves? |
47289 | A people presenting such an aspect, what have they to expect abroad? |
47289 | A possession_ by force_? |
47289 | A serious invasion? |
47289 | Accompanied with this most consequential inquiry:"Is not this a new State to be admitted? |
47289 | After the declaration of war, had they any disposition to assail us? |
47289 | After the declaration of war, what has been the conduct of the Executive? |
47289 | Again, I ask, were the principles of the embargo submission in 1774-''5-''6? |
47289 | Again, 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? |
47289 | Again, sir, has the gentleman no feeling for the sufferings, no ear for the groans of our suffering seamen? |
47289 | Again, what was the effect of the non- intercourse in 1809 upon our Treasury? |
47289 | Against France? |
47289 | Against whom were these charges brought? |
47289 | Against whom? |
47289 | All 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? |
47289 | Am I not, then, Mr. Speaker, authorized to say, that the condition of the law of May, 1810, has not been complied with? |
47289 | Am I then required to vote for a measure of this kind? |
47289 | Am I to conclude that they are really Americans in principle? |
47289 | An 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? |
47289 | And I would ask whether either of these events had happened when this corps of militia were ordered out? |
47289 | And about what? |
47289 | And are gentlemen considering the restoration of the seamen taken from the Chesapeake as a reason why we should continue the interdict? |
47289 | And are gentlemen prepared to obey? |
47289 | And are we not in the act of yielding obedience? |
47289 | And are we prepared to pronounce so heavy a denunciation on our predecessors, on ourselves, and the other great Departments of our Government? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And are we, he asked, to be deprived of it when we come to this House-- when we enter this temple of liberty? |
47289 | And are we, under such circumstances, to renew negotiation by extra missions? |
47289 | And are you now about again to jeopardize the peace of this nation, without any cause whatever? |
47289 | And are you ready to repeal the embargo under such a threat as this? |
47289 | And as to excuse, will it be said that there is nothing of the sort in this case? |
47289 | And by whom was it opposed? |
47289 | And by whom were they made? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And did this state of prosperity exist at a time when your commerce was protected by vessels of war? |
47289 | And do I enjoy my right of walking the street by making myself a prisoner? |
47289 | And do gentlemen believe Great Britain is willing to sacrifice all these considerations to a refusal to do you justice? |
47289 | And does she not remain sole mistress? |
47289 | And for whom? |
47289 | And from what premises is such a conclusion drawn? |
47289 | And have we adopted the monkish plan of scourging ourselves for the sins of others? |
47289 | And have we no means of doing this? |
47289 | And here, Mr. Speaker, let me ask what other class of men in our society can you find who would have acted thus nobly? |
47289 | And how do I prove it? |
47289 | And how has it been regarded by the belligerents? |
47289 | And how is this proved to be a remedy? |
47289 | And how was it to be effected? |
47289 | And how would this bill, Mr. Q. asked, less violate the constitution than such an act would have done? |
47289 | And how, sir, is it attempted to rebut this fact? |
47289 | And if it did, and this power was offensive, why was it not stricken out when the amendment was made? |
47289 | And if it has, is it proper so to decide it? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And if they be, sir, what inducement can possibly prevent unanimity on the present occasion? |
47289 | And if they do not intend thus to rely, in what possible way could it serve that Government thus darkly to insinuate it? |
47289 | And in comparing this bill with those declarations, will it be possible to conceive that we are consistent? |
47289 | And in fact does it not so demand in many instances? |
47289 | And is it come to this? |
47289 | And is it not better to submit to some inconveniences, eventually to insure a free trade? |
47289 | And is not a man thereby to be deprived of property without due process of law? |
47289 | And is not here an express authority?" |
47289 | And is the President to judge from the thanks of the House that he has done his duty? |
47289 | And is this bill a pioneer to the new swarms of"continental"locusts? |
47289 | And it may be fairly asked here, what measures Great Britain has taken to prevent her officers from impressing our seamen? |
47289 | And lastly, will the force be an economical one? |
47289 | And may we not suppose that these proud Spaniards, as they are called, may have feelings of a like nature? |
47289 | And must this sacrifice be made in order to bolster up the President''s proclamation so prematurely issued? |
47289 | And now, let me ask, whether we are prepared for these conditions? |
47289 | And on the question, Shall this bill pass? |
47289 | And on the question,"Shall the bill pass?" |
47289 | And on the question,"Shall this bill pass?" |
47289 | And on what, sir, does this circulation rest? |
47289 | And pray, Mr. Speaker, what has Mr. Foster been sent for? |
47289 | And shall we be told about the profitable commerce with Great Britain? |
47289 | And shall we disparage our ancestors?--shall we bastardize ourselves by placing them even below the brigands of St. Domingo? |
47289 | And shall we now refuse admission to the vessels of France? |
47289 | And surely he will not contend that this advance of premium was caused by the embargo? |
47289 | And that from mere obstinacy-- an obstinacy not encouraged by the least glimmering of hope? |
47289 | And that too, sir, at an expense to their own country so enormous in amount? |
47289 | And thus situated, what are the projects offered for replenishing the public coffers in future? |
47289 | And we may triumphantly ask, where is the nation or people that enjoy these with more freedom and safety than the American people? |
47289 | And were not French ships of war then, and have they not since been riding quietly at Annapolis, Norfolk, and elsewhere? |
47289 | And what advantage do they derive from it? |
47289 | And what are those objects? |
47289 | And what do we? |
47289 | And what do we? |
47289 | And what does he claim? |
47289 | And what does this committee do? |
47289 | And what has this sarcastic Minister of Great Britain given us in exchange? |
47289 | And what have we done in return? |
47289 | And what have we to propose, according to the principles of reprisal, to obtain the restoration? |
47289 | And what injury has the Emperor of Russia done to him? |
47289 | And what is it now? |
47289 | And what is its character? |
47289 | And what is our opinion? |
47289 | And what is the answer to all this out of doors? |
47289 | And what is the argument by which this position is maintained? |
47289 | And what is the language of George the Third, when our Minister presents to his consideration the embargo laws? |
47289 | And what is the relation in which you stand to France? |
47289 | And what is to justify this measure of imposing silence? |
47289 | And what more, sir, could have been asked of us, required, or granted, than is contained in these offers? |
47289 | And what real benefit has resulted from it to the Government? |
47289 | And what says Mr. Jackson in reply? |
47289 | And what security have we that she will not do so? |
47289 | And what substitute have we for this when it shall be destroyed? |
47289 | And what was the fact in regard to them? |
47289 | And what would you think of one individual who had thus conducted to another, and should then retreat? |
47289 | And what, Mr. Speaker, is now proposed for the future-- what is to retrieve our affairs-- on what are our hopes to rest? |
47289 | And what, sir, are you doing? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And when war came, what said the people? |
47289 | And where are these insults, these injuries, these vital attempts of the enemy to be found? |
47289 | And where do you send him? |
47289 | And whether we are prepared to go to war for them? |
47289 | And while these measures were going on, could Congress, by staying here constantly, add to the number of men, or expedite the loan? |
47289 | And who is prepared to say that American seamen shall be surrendered the victims to the British principle of impressment? |
47289 | And who would pay it? |
47289 | And whose money, asked Mr. R., is this? |
47289 | And why did they not? |
47289 | And why draw that into the debate on the impressment of American citizens from American vessels? |
47289 | And why should this bank be dissolved? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And why was not a provision inserted to prevent foreigners from purchasing additional stock? |
47289 | And why? |
47289 | And will she be insensible to the efforts of our little Navy? |
47289 | And will you plunge yourselves in war, because you have passed a foolish and ruinous law, and are ashamed to repeal it? |
47289 | And will you refuse it? |
47289 | And with a standing army, what security for our liberties?" |
47289 | And would gentlemen favor this French population at the expense of their own interests and rights? |
47289 | And would he advise the nation to pursue a course disgraceful, and to which he would not expose himself? |
47289 | And would not the doing this place us in precisely the same situation as we were in before the Revolution? |
47289 | And would these persons believe that they were going on an unlawful expedition? |
47289 | And yet, how does this differ from invading Canada, for the purpose of defending our maritime rights? |
47289 | And 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? |
47289 | And, I ask, is this resistance? |
47289 | And, I ask, sir, why, then, admit the vessels of England standing in the same relation to us? |
47289 | And, I wish to know, sir, what control we have over the Bank of the United States? |
47289 | And, 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? |
47289 | And, are we to endeavor to negotiate, as neutrals, with France, upon this ground, with any reasonable prospect of success? |
47289 | And, doing that, how could you expect an amicable result? |
47289 | And, is this course of policy now to be condemned, and regrets entered up that we have not been at war years ago? |
47289 | And, said Mr. O., shall the Government be less willing to discharge its just debts than an honest individual? |
47289 | And, 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? |
47289 | And, sir, what does this bank or its branches when resort is had to it? |
47289 | And, sir, what is the mighty boon which these brave and indigent tars ask from you? |
47289 | And, sir, what is this principle? |
47289 | And, sir, what was our"restrictive"system? |
47289 | And, sir, when these messengers of hell are sent here shall we not look at them? |
47289 | And, upon whom does the loss fall? |
47289 | Are gentlemen aware how extensive is the province of master and apprentice? |
47289 | Are gentlemen ready to injure their country, weaken our Federal Union, the sheet- anchor of our political safety, to reach their political opponents? |
47289 | Are gentlemen serious? |
47289 | Are gentlemen willing to submit to this? |
47289 | Are gentlemen, possessing the feelings of Americans, prepared to submit to such degradation? |
47289 | Are new States desired? |
47289 | Are not these cases equally strong? |
47289 | Are not these searches and seizures, without warrant, on the mere suspicion of a collector, unreasonable searches and seizures? |
47289 | Are our Ocean rights there? |
47289 | Are the bounty lands to be given in Canada? |
47289 | Are the countries of the Baltic and Caspian Seas no longer cultivated? |
47289 | Are the extravagant prices of articles of the first necessity, superadded to their former embarrassments, to operate as a bounty on their trade? |
47289 | Are the gentlemen from Georgia and Kentucky the only Senators who have had their feelings wounded by the conduct of the press upon this subject? |
47289 | Are the merchants the guardians of the public honor? |
47289 | Are the merchants to be told we will protect their commerce? |
47289 | Are the old chimerical notions of_ starving_ the enemy, yet floating in the brains of gentlemen? |
47289 | Are the orders and decrees altered? |
47289 | Are the people of this country suspected of an intention to abandon their rights or their independence? |
47289 | Are the wishes of this nation to be unattended to? |
47289 | Are these apprehensions founded in reason, or are they the chimeras of a fervid and perturbed imagination? |
47289 | Are these blessings not worth preserving? |
47289 | Are these not sufficient for the recruiting service? |
47289 | Are these savings not worth notice? |
47289 | Are these the blockades which are intended? |
47289 | Are they likely to happen? |
47289 | Are they not murderers? |
47289 | Are they prepared to say the embargo shall be raised, while our commerce is subjected to this kind of depredation? |
47289 | Are they reduced to that situation, that they will become the vassals of a foreign power-- for what? |
47289 | Are they to be held as conquered territories? |
47289 | Are they to be scourged out of us by the birch of the unfledged political pedagogues of the day? |
47289 | Are they unfit for the East India trade? |
47289 | Are we bound to adopt this measure on account of the faith of Government being pledged to France by the law of May last? |
47289 | Are we guilty because we resist the British scalping knife? |
47289 | Are we in France? |
47289 | Are we not aware, sir, of the immense sums now invested and actively employed in the different manufactories distributed over our extensive country? |
47289 | Are we not officially notified that the French leeward islands are declared by proclamation in a state of blockade? |
47289 | Are we prepared to ingraft these arbitrary principles into our constitution, and cherish them when practised in so arbitrary a manner? |
47289 | Are we ready to submit to be taxed by Great Britain and France, as if we were their colonies? |
47289 | Are we sure the State banks can or will do this? |
47289 | Are we to adhere to the embargo forever, sir? |
47289 | Are we to renew negotiation, then, when every circumstance manifests that it would be useless? |
47289 | Are we to understand that the_ salus populi_ shall rule without control? |
47289 | Are we, gentlemen,( said Mr. R.,) to have a Speaker of the House of Representatives without any election? |
47289 | Are you prepared to see a foreign power seize what belongs to us? |
47289 | Are you provided with means to annoy the enemy, or to defend yourselves? |
47289 | Are you to leave them unprotected, or will you draw the sword in their behalf? |
47289 | Are you to spend four or five millions of dollars, in addition to your present extraordinary expenditures, to protect commerce? |
47289 | Are your exposed towns fortified and garrisoned? |
47289 | Are your seamen safe from impressment? |
47289 | Arm your merchantmen, as has been proposed, send them out, and you have war directly? |
47289 | As his Minister said to the King of Epirus,"may we not as well take our bottle of wine before as after this exploit?" |
47289 | As it does now, through the operation of your embargo, on the planter, on the farmer, on the mechanic, on the day- laborer? |
47289 | As the proper authority, he thrust it from him as unworthy the coffers of his country; and did not his doing so meet general approbation? |
47289 | As to France, sir, what were the edicts to be revoked, and how revoked? |
47289 | As to preparation at home, which is the only preparation contemplated to make, what or whom is it against? |
47289 | As to respect abroad, what course can be more certain to insure it? |
47289 | As to the objection which had been offered to receiving the statement of their commanders, what were gentlemen afraid of? |
47289 | As to the opportunity which the answers afforded for debate, could any one say that sufficient latitude had not been taken in debate? |
47289 | At 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? |
47289 | Aware of the impropriety of his deciding, he tells you-- what? |
47289 | Aye, sir-- and is that true? |
47289 | Because he is not a gentleman, shall we assert a falsehood? |
47289 | Because we can not guard against every possible danger, shall we provide against none? |
47289 | Because we can not, are we to succumb to others? |
47289 | Begin this system of abstract legislation, and where are you to stop? |
47289 | Being questioned if Henry had mentioned the names of any person with whom he had conferred? |
47289 | But I am asked, how will you contend with a maritime nation, without a navy? |
47289 | But I may ask, what on the ocean did we enjoy but by the sufferance of Great Britain? |
47289 | But 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? |
47289 | But are not your privateers as much a part of the naval force of the nation as your ships of war? |
47289 | But are we unreasonable in expecting, before we give up the old opinion, to hear some argument in favor of the new one? |
47289 | But by whom had they been suppressed when they ran counter to the interests of his country? |
47289 | But can any man imagine that, if we invade the British colonies, the war will be there? |
47289 | But did an atom of it flow in from the operation of the embargo? |
47289 | But does that justify this resolution? |
47289 | But gentlemen were desirous now to fix the number of souls which should entitle to a Representative-- and why? |
47289 | But has he shown that it is necessary in order to make a preliminary arrangement similar to that entered into? |
47289 | But have the people of Spain acquiesced? |
47289 | But have they shown, by a train of argument, that their overthrow was, in any degree, ascribable to their maritime greatness? |
47289 | But how are we to cause these rights to be respected? |
47289 | But how can this be done? |
47289 | But how has this plea been supported? |
47289 | But how is this protection to be afforded? |
47289 | But how was it received by the American Cabinet? |
47289 | But how, Mr. Speaker, are we to cause our rights to be respected? |
47289 | But if it were not, where is the impropriety of an inquiry? |
47289 | But in this instance is the territory vacant-- or uninhabited-- or abandoned by its proprietors? |
47289 | But is it possible that an intolerant spirit of party has prepared us for this? |
47289 | But 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? |
47289 | But is that the case in relation to the Executive, on whose future dispositions rest the best interests of this nation? |
47289 | But is war the true remedy? |
47289 | But of what value would these provinces be to us, if they could be easily acquired? |
47289 | But on whose side has this intrigue been? |
47289 | But 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? |
47289 | But shall we therefore abandon the ocean, yield our birthright, our goodly heritage, without a struggle? |
47289 | But should he, on great questions, be denied the privilege of speaking? |
47289 | But should we have been prepared by winter, the time to which gentlemen wished to have deferred the declaration of war? |
47289 | But some gentlemen affect a sympathy for the Canadians-- why, say they, will you make war on them? |
47289 | But suppose they do not; suppose they fail, and are captured in the attempt; what is that to us? |
47289 | But the question recurs, needful for what? |
47289 | But to what does this doctrine lead? |
47289 | But was there that fatal necessity; that command from Jove,"Ye fates fulfil it, and ye powers approve,"to erect corporations? |
47289 | But we are told that the enterprising merchant is deprived of an opportunity-- of what? |
47289 | But we must inquire, what is a just and necessary war? |
47289 | But were there not other decrees? |
47289 | But what are the reasons why it has not fully come up to the expectations of its supporters, as a measure of coercion? |
47289 | But what blow are you prepared to strike? |
47289 | But what can we do with four seventy- fours? |
47289 | But what does the correspondence referred to prove? |
47289 | But what has_ Revolutionary_ Spain done? |
47289 | But what have the British Government done on the subject? |
47289 | But what is here proposed? |
47289 | But what is the fact? |
47289 | But what is the law of nature and the dictate of wisdom, on this subject? |
47289 | But what is the nature of the defence which one of our large States may be supposed interested to obtain from the General Government? |
47289 | But what is the principle in contest between the two Governments? |
47289 | But what is their situation at present? |
47289 | But what is this law as modified by the practice of nations? |
47289 | But what obliges Congress to give credit at all? |
47289 | But what was left, as to her, for the surrender or repeal of which she had any anxiety? |
47289 | But what was the style in which gentlemen spoke at our last summer session, when the subject of approbation was then before us? |
47289 | But 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? |
47289 | But what, said Mr. C, has been the history of claims for four or five years past? |
47289 | But what, sir, is the price we have at length paid for the repeal? |
47289 | But whence, Mr. Chairman, proceeds this system of slander and abuse? |
47289 | But where is the difference between that and suffering yourself to be controlled by the arbitrary act of another nation? |
47289 | But 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? |
47289 | But who was ever the friend of non- intercourse? |
47289 | But why is it necessary to know, on this occasion, whether the President did call for these powers or not? |
47289 | But why is it to be continued? |
47289 | But why this argument of despair? |
47289 | But why this change? |
47289 | But why, sir, are the injuries these nations have done contrasted, and those of the one made an apology for those of the other? |
47289 | But why, sir, should this House give an expression of approbation of the President? |
47289 | But will you trust your funds with an institution thus precarious, and whose solidity is distrusted even by its best friends? |
47289 | But"where, and what was this execrable shape-- if shape it may be called, which shape has none?" |
47289 | But, I ask, sir, if the State Governments do not possess this gigantic power? |
47289 | But, I would ask the gentleman from Connecticut, and the gentleman from Pennsylvania, also, if this be one of their abstract propositions? |
47289 | But, Is it necessary that a resolution containing it should be passed by this House? |
47289 | But, Mr. President, what is the real cause of those failures? |
47289 | But, Mr. Speaker, what was the fact? |
47289 | But, Mr. Speaker, wherefore change the term of enlistment, from five years, or during the war, to one year? |
47289 | But, are not the measures which have been adopted, submission? |
47289 | But, decide it either way, how is trading as far as we have ability, made less abject than not trading at all? |
47289 | But, 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? |
47289 | But, for what purpose are you to send them out? |
47289 | But, is it in this nation, and at this time, that it can be supposed that the profits of commerce are confined to the merchant? |
47289 | But, it seems we have changed all this-- we have perverted the whole course of procedure-- and why? |
47289 | But, it would be well to inquire, on what principle the belligerents pretend to justify these commercial restrictions? |
47289 | But, 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? |
47289 | But, on the second head, can your law be executed? |
47289 | But, said Mr. R., is time now so precious? |
47289 | But, said he, for what purpose, I feel impelled to ask, are you going to build these vessels? |
47289 | But, says the gentleman, will you take the child from the parent? |
47289 | But, since that election, another has taken place for members of Congress; and how has that turned out? |
47289 | But, sir, admit for a moment the bank may be formed to collect the revenue, ought it not to be exclusively used for that object? |
47289 | But, sir, admit the gentleman''s statement; will a war with Great Britain increase the danger? |
47289 | But, sir, can we quit this subject without looking more particularly at the consequences which result from this series of injuries? |
47289 | But, sir, gentlemen may ask, where is the remedy? |
47289 | But, sir, has this unparalleled enterprise, this gallant spirit, been carried on by a navy? |
47289 | But, sir, how happens it that we still remain under the distresses occasioned by the belligerents? |
47289 | But, sir, how have those orders at last been repealed? |
47289 | But, sir, is it prudent to rely upon an institution that may refuse you assistance? |
47289 | But, sir, let me ask what sort of possession? |
47289 | But, sir, let me ask, whether the disposition to lend be not as necessary a means towards accomplishing a loan as the ability? |
47289 | But, sir, let us admit the fact and the whole force of the argument, I ask whose is the fault? |
47289 | But, sir, what has been the state of the country since the declaration of war? |
47289 | But, sir, what is now the state of things? |
47289 | But, suppose they had been manned in other ways, were not privateers as useful in annoying the enemy as public ships? |
47289 | But, what are the principles more specifically asserted by Great Britain? |
47289 | But, what best consults the honor of a Republican Government? |
47289 | But, what have we done? |
47289 | But, what is that to us? |
47289 | But, what security did those ships afford? |
47289 | But, what was it sent there for? |
47289 | But, why, I pray you? |
47289 | By Mary Howitt, 38 Who Shall be Greatest? |
47289 | By 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? |
47289 | By force? |
47289 | By gentlemen who are for active offence? |
47289 | By granting them a right which nature has already given to them? |
47289 | By putting in force the non- importation law? |
47289 | By showing a physical disability in the country to avail itself of this force? |
47289 | By the law of''98, the President certainly could direct relative to the age and size of a recruit-- yet to whom did he apply? |
47289 | By what ligament, on what basis, on what possible foundation, does it rest? |
47289 | By what? |
47289 | By whom is it so called? |
47289 | By whom is this immense power wielded? |
47289 | By whom, would you listen to them, are they most keenly felt? |
47289 | By whom? |
47289 | Can England complain of our giving credit to a man with whom her first Secretary of State and the Governor General of Canada correspond? |
47289 | Can a violation of a solemn pledge confer an obligation which was only intended to be created on the complete fulfilment of that pledge? |
47289 | Can an agreement arising from the exercise of this power, supersede the right of exercising the power expressly delegated by the constitution itself? |
47289 | Can any man do this, and not realize that the destiny of the people inhabiting such a country is essentially maritime? |
47289 | Can any man tell what would be the consequence of war, in these times? |
47289 | Can any one doubt that our Cabinet meant that it should have this effect? |
47289 | Can any submission be more palpable, more"abject, more disgraceful?" |
47289 | Can any thing be more in direct subserviency to the views of the French Emperor? |
47289 | Can any thing be more obviously at variance with the spirit of the constitution and the first principles of civil liberty? |
47289 | Can any thing be more palpable than this? |
47289 | Can arming our merchant vessels, by resisting the whole navy of Great Britain, oppose force to force? |
47289 | Can it be any thing but the revolutions in Spain and Portugal? |
47289 | Can it be because Bonaparte has said he loves the Americans? |
47289 | Can it be conceived that all this could have been carried on, if General Miranda had not meant to conceal it from the Government? |
47289 | Can it be necessary gravely to answer these assertions? |
47289 | Can it then be said, that with treble the population, and in an offensive war, necessity requires the dangerous innovation? |
47289 | Can one million of militia be overpowered by thirty thousand regulars? |
47289 | Can such conduct be called American? |
47289 | Can such men pretend that peace is their object? |
47289 | Can that be true which gives the greatest violence to party animosity? |
47289 | Can that be true which, when the whole physical force of the country is needed, withdraws half of that force? |
47289 | Can that, then, be true in relation to war which would be reprobated in every other case? |
47289 | Can the Legislature give me a moral right to violate the Constitution of the United States, which I have sworn to support? |
47289 | Can the President be as well acquainted with the qualifications and abilities of officers in the militia as the Governors of the States? |
47289 | Can the fundamental principles of the constitution, rendering contracts sacred, be thus uprooted and destroyed? |
47289 | Can there be any necessity for this? |
47289 | Can they sell these lots, these brick houses, these canal shares? |
47289 | Can they touch no nerve in which Britons feel? |
47289 | Can they, or will they, prevent the march of an enemy''s forces through that territory into the United States? |
47289 | Can this be a desirable state of things? |
47289 | Can this be done? |
47289 | Can this ever be an alternative? |
47289 | Can this interdiction be defended on this ground? |
47289 | Can we do too much for this man? |
47289 | Can we wonder that it should be cherished by its master? |
47289 | Can you expect system and order unless you pay for it? |
47289 | Can you have economy when you go into market to bid for what you want? |
47289 | Can you punish them for not doing it? |
47289 | Can your law fail of producing more injury and loss to the United States, than benefit? |
47289 | Contending themselves for the right of naturalization, can the British Government deny it to others? |
47289 | Could America expect to starve this nation? |
47289 | Could Congress transfer to him legislative power, and authorize him to declare of how many members this body should consist? |
47289 | Could any man say that it was not proper that he should have it? |
47289 | Could any man say what would take place between this day and the third of March? |
47289 | Could it not demand prompt payment of the duties? |
47289 | Could not a single foreign frigate enter almost any of our harbors now and batter down our towns? |
47289 | Could not even a single gunboat sweep some of them? |
47289 | Could not the Territory of Columbia have been governed without erecting a single corporation in it? |
47289 | Could one be added to the catalogue? |
47289 | Could seven millions of people obtain glory by precipitating themselves upon half a million, and trampling them into the dust? |
47289 | Could that gentleman repose his head upon his pillow without returning thanks to God that he was descended from English parentage? |
47289 | Could they have chosen a more appropriate phraseology? |
47289 | Could this doctrine be asserted by any gentleman? |
47289 | Did Venice owe her decline, or fall, to her navy? |
47289 | Did a British gallery ever exhibit such a spectacle? |
47289 | Did ever one Government exhibit towards any people a more bloody and relentless spirit of rancor? |
47289 | Did he too oppose this proposition on the ground of resisting the belligerents or of making war with England? |
47289 | Did it arrest the promulgation, or has it abrogated the Orders in Council-- those orders which have given birth to a new era in commerce? |
47289 | Did it declare to how many Representatives each State should be entitled? |
47289 | Did it enter into the conception of the people when its principles were discussed? |
47289 | Did it follow that minor considerations should be placed out of view or yielded up entirely? |
47289 | Did it not interdict all trade with France under the most severe and heavy penalties? |
47289 | Did it prevent Mr. Jefferson from taking a war course? |
47289 | Did it prevent the unmanly attack upon the Chesapeake? |
47289 | Did it produce starvation in the West Indies? |
47289 | Did not the honor, the character, the independence of the country require of us to go back to our original neutral ground? |
47289 | Did 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? |
47289 | Did not this bill completely come up to their wishes? |
47289 | Did our fathers either effect a change in her injurious policy or prevent a war by non- intercourse? |
47289 | Did that make no difference? |
47289 | Did the nation call it submission when it was enacted under General Washington? |
47289 | Do gentlemen believe it to be true? |
47289 | Do gentlemen consider harpooning a vessel to be like harpooning a whale, which has no men on board of it to take out the harpoon? |
47289 | Do gentlemen mean an abject acquiescence to those iniquitous decrees and Orders in Council? |
47289 | Do gentlemen of the"old school"undertake to say that the Father of their country submitted then to George III.? |
47289 | Do gentlemen plead the necessity of the case? |
47289 | Do gentlemen say that there is no insult in this? |
47289 | Do gentlemen suppose that boats can approach without the most imminent danger? |
47289 | Do not gentlemen perceive the tendency of this measure to involve us with the States upon delicate points? |
47289 | Do the wrongs of this nation end with this outrage? |
47289 | Do these gentlemen come forward and tell you that that the embargo is submission? |
47289 | Do these two declarations hang together, sir? |
47289 | Do they contend that the causes which rendered it necessary have been removed? |
47289 | Do they mean that it should be relinquished to our former masters without a struggle? |
47289 | Do they not bear a hostile aspect? |
47289 | Do we doubt the inveteracy of the French hatred of the British navy when it has existed so many years? |
47289 | Do we not pay an annual tribute to Algiers for liberty to navigate the sea safer from its corsairs? |
47289 | Do we want plunder? |
47289 | Do you intend again to stretch them on the rack, again to cover the country with sackcloth and ashes? |
47289 | Do you make this declaration to the enemy at the outset? |
47289 | Do you mean to submit? |
47289 | Do you persevere in the conquest of Canada? |
47289 | Do you see one gentleman, one solitary gentleman of one party, discriminated generally as a Federal, who does not vote for this measure throughout? |
47289 | Do you yet contend that the object is to protect commerce? |
47289 | Does France purchase your tobacco or cotton, which heretofore have found a market there? |
47289 | Does a necessity exist superior to the laws? |
47289 | Does a proffer of settlement, connected with such language, look like a disposition or an intention to conciliate? |
47289 | Does an unprotected seacoast of two thousand miles afford her no opportunities of attacking us? |
47289 | Does 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? |
47289 | Does any man believe it? |
47289 | Does any man believe that this frontier traffic is not as beneficial to us as to our enemies? |
47289 | Does any man doubt that the war is justly undertaken? |
47289 | Does he believe he has all this time been deceiving the Legislature? |
47289 | Does he discharge as he ought the duties of a friend, a brother in society? |
47289 | Does he recollect the invasion of the Spaniards two years ago? |
47289 | Does it comport with our honor and dignity to admit into our ports and harbors the very vessels destroying our commerce? |
47289 | Does it fall within the power to pay the debts of the United States? |
47289 | Does it follow, from that, that they are entitled to all the rights of hospitality that one nation could possibly show to another? |
47289 | Does it follow, in all cases, that that which would have prevented the war in the first instance should terminate the war? |
47289 | Does it not confine the legality of arming to resident citizens alone? |
47289 | Does it not go, not only to the abandonment of the ocean, but to the seacoast also? |
47289 | Does it not then result, inevitably, as the dictate of common prudence, that we should, as soon as possible, commence our naval preparations? |
47289 | Does it, then, become the representatives of the nation to leave the nation at the mercy of a corporation? |
47289 | Does not England naturalize foreigners? |
47289 | Does not flour find a great proportion of its consumption on the continent? |
47289 | Does not the constitution say, no laws shall be passed abrogating contracts? |
47289 | Does not the industry of the country languish? |
47289 | Does not the right to create a bank, which shall issue this representative of money, come within the same reason? |
47289 | Does not this prove that so much danger existed on the ocean that it was next to impossible to pass without seizure and condemnation? |
47289 | Does she not naturalize your citizens? |
47289 | Does she produce them at home? |
47289 | Does the bank affect the people locally? |
47289 | Does the gentleman mean to assimilate a tribute exacted by Great Britain with that paid to Algiers? |
47289 | Does the gentleman mean to excite our fears for the loss of our property? |
47289 | Does the gentleman say that it was atrocious in 1798 to defend ourselves against the French? |
47289 | Does the history of the past in our own, or any other country, warrant such an expectation? |
47289 | Does the prospect of security there flatter us? |
47289 | Does this prove a change? |
47289 | Does this prove that the embargo was the cause of the change of the politics of the Maryland Legislature? |
47289 | Does this, sir, comport with the principles of justice? |
47289 | Does your flag float afterwards in honor? |
47289 | Even if the price was as low as eight, or say seven dollars, wherefore should the soldier receive less than any other man? |
47289 | First, has the United States a claim, either real or disputed, to this territory? |
47289 | For I would ask, what are we to promise to ourselves from such a system as this; what will be the probable effects of it? |
47289 | For a private, unassisted, insulated, unallied individual? |
47289 | For any great boon that this Government has received from the hands of Great Britain? |
47289 | For gallons will you spill torrents; or am I to understand that we shall have war without bloodshed? |
47289 | For what have you given money to build fortifications? |
47289 | For what purpose were protections given to American seamen? |
47289 | For what purpose, sir, let me ask, have we adopted the resolution preceding this? |
47289 | For what purpose, then, could they be wanted? |
47289 | For what reason are we to subject even our coasters to plunder and abuse? |
47289 | For what was he contending? |
47289 | For what was the object of the opposition in this debate? |
47289 | For what, sir, are we assembled here under a constitution the purest in the world? |
47289 | For whose benefit, sir, is the Government to strip itself of this right, so essential for the due administration of its finances? |
47289 | For why? |
47289 | Forty thousand? |
47289 | From these principles what desertions have we not witnessed? |
47289 | From whence was this conclusion drawn? |
47289 | From which decision Mr. RANDOLPH moved an appeal; which being seconded, the question was put,"Is the decision of the Chair correct?" |
47289 | From which of these stations, said Mr. C., could she have spared, with safety and prudence, a portion of the force employed? |
47289 | GOLD.--The first object with a wise Legislature is, Is the law expedient? |
47289 | Gentlemen ask, has there not been a satisfactory adjustment of our differences with Great Britain? |
47289 | Gentlemen get up and abuse the Spanish Government and people, and what then? |
47289 | Good heavens, between what, Mr. Speaker? |
47289 | Ground their arms and surrender themselves prisoners of war; or are they, sir, to drop their muskets and take to their heels? |
47289 | Had Congress that power? |
47289 | Had he done it? |
47289 | Had it not been more injurious to the United States than to foreign nations? |
47289 | Had not a special court been refused in relation to a property of much greater value than this? |
47289 | Had not gentlemen even called others by name, and introduced every subject on any question? |
47289 | Had not the Navy of Great Britain a beginning? |
47289 | Had the decrees been so modified, under present circumstances, as that they had ceased to violate our neutral commerce? |
47289 | Had the interdiction been confined to British vessels by this law, what would Great Britain have said to this discrimination? |
47289 | Had they not amply redressed the insult of the individual? |
47289 | Had they not had them in other countries? |
47289 | Had we, when all the rest of Louisiana was surrendered to us, obtained possession of Florida? |
47289 | Has France herself agreed to bury her surplus breadstuffs in the earth? |
47289 | Has Great Britain held out the hand of friendship, and have we refused to meet her? |
47289 | Has a picaroon or a buccaneer ever been chastised by them? |
47289 | Has any capitalist said he would venture out in the present tempest which blackens the ocean? |
47289 | Has any malediction of Heaven doomed them to perpetual vassalage? |
47289 | Has it come to this? |
47289 | Has it occurred? |
47289 | Has it operated upon the present Executive? |
47289 | Has it operated, to any perceptible extent, except upon ourselves, during the twelvemonth it has been in existence? |
47289 | Has it released from galling and ignominious bondage one solitary American seaman, bleeding under British oppression? |
47289 | Has not Congress solemnly pledged itself to the world not to surrender our rights? |
47289 | Has not Great Britain driven them all from the ocean? |
47289 | Has not our country increased in wealth and population, in a superior degree to any country on earth? |
47289 | Has not the British army increased with equal pace with her navy? |
47289 | Has not the United States''Bank produced serious alarm? |
47289 | Has not, in fact, the gallant Captain Decatur taken our own seamen out of one of them? |
47289 | Has our hospitality been violated and our officers insulted in our very ports by the vessels of France? |
47289 | Has she not seized every vessel which has arrived at her ports since that period? |
47289 | Has she withdrawn her Orders in Council, and have we insisted on a continuance of our commercial restrictions? |
47289 | Has the Nile ceased to fructify the fields of Egypt? |
47289 | Has the President acted correctly or not? |
47289 | Has the President given any such information? |
47289 | Has the embargo answered? |
47289 | Has the experiment been tried? |
47289 | Has the love of gain superseded every other motive in the breasts of Americans? |
47289 | Has the navy of Russia protected her commerce? |
47289 | Has there been any thing of the kind on our part? |
47289 | Have Sicily and the Barbary coasts returned to a barren state of nature? |
47289 | Have either complied? |
47289 | Have gentlemen reflected on the disastrous consequences of such a system at the present time? |
47289 | Have our citizens been restored to their country? |
47289 | Have they attempted even to show that there exists in the nature of this power a necessary tendency to destroy the nation using it? |
47289 | Have they been committed within our waters? |
47289 | Have they brought forward the mass of their voters as signers to petitions? |
47289 | Have they disturbed the quiet of either House? |
47289 | Have they ever refused supplies because a war was unpopular, since their revolution? |
47289 | Have they not considered it a delicate one? |
47289 | Have they not done so in Baltimore? |
47289 | Have they not in their conduct given us the most sound and wholesome advice on the subject? |
47289 | Have they not more troops on and near the line than we have? |
47289 | Have they not told you, continually, to let them alone; that they knew their own business best? |
47289 | Have they taken a single man out of a ship of war, or one man out of the dungeons of Paris or Arras? |
47289 | Have this Government, and the people of this country, no interest in the prosperity of these manufactories? |
47289 | Have those causes wrought on her a perseverance in her measures? |
47289 | Have those certificates, or protections, as they are commonly called, been confined to_ bona fide_ American citizens? |
47289 | Have those contingencies happened? |
47289 | Have we any French frigates now in our seas? |
47289 | Have we any other evidence of the disposition of the Executive in relation to this bill than that certain gentlemen are in favor of it? |
47289 | Have we constitutional authority to legislate on this subject, and is it expedient so to do? |
47289 | Have we done nothing? |
47289 | Have we done this, as respects Great Britain? |
47289 | Have we from the effects of their trial any lively hope of success in our present attempt? |
47289 | Have we gone to insurance companies or corporations of one kind or another? |
47289 | Have we indeed received no answer? |
47289 | Have we intrigued with the people to induce them to take sides with us? |
47289 | Have we made an impression on the Prince Regent and his Ministry? |
47289 | Have we no country of our own? |
47289 | Have we not already territory enough? |
47289 | Have we not an undoubted right to navigate the Mediterranean? |
47289 | Have we not conclusive evidence to the contrary? |
47289 | Have we not, moreover, the best recorded proof that the present President holds similar opinions on this subject? |
47289 | Have we obtained the objects for which it was commenced? |
47289 | Have we opened our ports to her traders? |
47289 | Have we renewed commercial intercourse with her? |
47289 | Have we stirred up the people into town meetings to aid us by memorials? |
47289 | Have you an army or navy which can make any impression? |
47289 | Have you any thing to hope, by operating upon the minds of the rulers of that nation, a conviction that you are boasting no longer? |
47289 | Have you ever heard of an army on earth that was carried into the field before it had been seasoned in the camp? |
47289 | Have you not as good a right to do that as to pass this law? |
47289 | Have you the least prospect, if you declare war, of attacking Canada this season? |
47289 | He asked if we were prepared to violate the public faith? |
47289 | He asked what will be the situation of this people in sixty days? |
47289 | He asked whether we were prepared to assail our enemy, or repel her attacks? |
47289 | He 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? |
47289 | He asked, what security had the United States, if they did all this, if they submitted to such abject humiliation, that Great Britain would treat? |
47289 | He asked, whether it is wise in an unarmed nation, as we are, to commence hostilities against one so completely prepared? |
47289 | He asked, why rush with this precipitancy into the war? |
47289 | He demanded what there is in the nature and construction of maritime power to excite the fears that have been indulged? |
47289 | He had satisfied his mind that they had engaged in this business unknowingly and unwillingly-- and, what was now asked of the Government? |
47289 | He said, there were two parties in this House; and asked, is it ever known how a question will be decided, until it is taken? |
47289 | He sees the danger clearly? |
47289 | He supposes a sally from a Spanish garrison upon the American forces, and asks what is to be done? |
47289 | He sympathized with the sufferings of his impressed and incarcerated fellow- citizens; but would a territorial war exempt them from impressment? |
47289 | He was asked if any essential alterations would be made within sixty days, in the defence of our maritime frontier or seaports? |
47289 | He wished to know, in point of principle, what difference gentlemen could point out between the abandonment of this or of that maritime right? |
47289 | He would ask that gentleman if he was, during the last embargo, a ship owner? |
47289 | He would, for instance, ask whether so much as related to sacked towns, bombarded cities, ruined commerce, and revolting blacks, had been realized? |
47289 | How abstract, I pray you? |
47289 | How are these orders and decrees to be opposed but by war, except we keep without their reach? |
47289 | How are these pacific advances met by the other party? |
47289 | How are they to be supplied with the article of salt? |
47289 | How are we to get things right? |
47289 | How can we get rid of the war, if we may not say that it is inexpedient, impolitic, and ruinous? |
47289 | How can we make a sacrifice of our own opinions? |
47289 | How comes he in the ranks against us, with his tomahawk and scalping knife? |
47289 | How could one committee properly attend to the mass of business before the Committee of Commerce and Manufactures? |
47289 | How could they be made one with the United States unless by the use of the same language? |
47289 | How did this happen? |
47289 | How distressed? |
47289 | How had it turned out? |
47289 | How had this indisposition for war got into the House? |
47289 | How happens all this? |
47289 | How has it been applied? |
47289 | How has the President performed this constitutional duty? |
47289 | How has this prediction been verified? |
47289 | How is he to know that they have expressed their sense of his conduct from proper motives? |
47289 | How is it now? |
47289 | How is it submission, then, to these orders for us to trade to Gottenburg, when neither France nor Britain command, nor prohibit it? |
47289 | How is our faith plighted? |
47289 | How is our honor affected by removing it? |
47289 | How is that to be done? |
47289 | How many were unable to apply? |
47289 | How shall the law be repealed? |
47289 | How shall we best do it? |
47289 | How stand the people of the British Empire? |
47289 | How then can any encouragement be drawn from that precedent, to support us under the privations of the present system of commercial suspension? |
47289 | How then can we trust to the future predictions of gentlemen? |
47289 | How then has it happened that Congress has taken upon itself the right to erect light- houses, under their general power to regulate commerce? |
47289 | How was it in the conspiracy of Blount and Liston? |
47289 | How wide- spread the relation in the community? |
47289 | How, I ask, could the President act a different part, from the evidence in the case? |
47289 | How, let me ask you, sir, is your Government constituted? |
47289 | How, sir, can I make this matter plainer? |
47289 | How, sir, is it with the State banks? |
47289 | How, then, could the gentleman, after his admissions, with the facts before him and the nation, complain? |
47289 | How, then, is the national faith plighted to France by that law? |
47289 | How, then, sir, are we to account for their late conduct? |
47289 | I ask gentlemen, if her ability to carry on a distant war by land or sea, has diminished? |
47289 | I ask him whether he considers the impressment of American seamen"a violation of an essential right of this country?" |
47289 | I ask if it is necessary? |
47289 | I ask the gentlemen on the other side of the House, whether we have not gained something in this respect by the war? |
47289 | I ask then what physical ability we have to discharge the State taxes, or any other? |
47289 | I ask this House and this nation, whether their hopes or wishes extend beyond what we then enjoyed? |
47289 | I ask whether, under such circumstances, the question ought not to be considered settled? |
47289 | I ask you, sir, where is the strength of which these nations formerly boasted? |
47289 | I ask you, then, sir, why do we hesitate? |
47289 | I ask, did any nation ever do more? |
47289 | I ask, now, whether the impression made by the gentleman from New York was a just one? |
47289 | I 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? |
47289 | I have been asked, shall Congress rise and do nothing? |
47289 | I have no idea of laughing the subject out of the House; but how can gentlemen see the least probability of success in the invention? |
47289 | I know, sir, that there are men who condemn the conduct of the President in issuing the proclamation; and why? |
47289 | I make the appeal to gentlemen, I demand of the chairman of the committee who reported this bill, why and wherefore it is presented? |
47289 | I might trace the scheme a little further back, and ask, whence the outrages? |
47289 | I now solemnly appeal to gentlemen, why shall we, at this moment, make this marked distinction? |
47289 | I pray you, was not that the condition of the country when Mr. Rose arrived? |
47289 | I request gentlemen to reflect, whether this is not, in point of fact, an abandonment of the other points in dispute? |
47289 | I say, perish the heart, the head and the tongue, that will attempt her justification or apology? |
47289 | I shall, however, examine the non- intercourse system from the date of the law of March, 1809, and inquire what was its professed object? |
47289 | I 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? |
47289 | I will ask how many regiments you have in your present establishment? |
47289 | I will ask the gentleman from South Carolina, what has the nation benefited for this enormous expenditure? |
47289 | I will ask the honorable gentleman from Maryland whether he does not know that letters have been written for that purpose? |
47289 | I will ask, how we succeeded in the Revolutionary war? |
47289 | I will ask, in return, when an officer is appointed to collect the customs, has he not a salary and emoluments? |
47289 | I will ask, what would be the case if such laws had not been passed by the States? |
47289 | I will now proceed, Mr. President, to inquire whether the facts stated in the resolution are supported by the correspondence upon which it is founded? |
47289 | I will put this question to gentlemen: what has Britain done which would require a discrimination as to her public vessels? |
47289 | I wish to know of gentlemen, whether trading with the belligerents, under their present restrictions on commerce, would not be submission? |
47289 | I would ask, how can it be contended to the contrary? |
47289 | I would ask, in a few words, if we ought to continue this establishment in its present state? |
47289 | If B refuses, does A, under the circumstances of such a declaration, violate any obligation, should he refuse to permit the passage? |
47289 | If France has revoked her decrees, is not a non- importation with Great Britain inevitable, and does it not exist? |
47289 | If France revoked her decrees, she was entitled to a non- importation against Great Britain, and if she failed to revoke, what? |
47289 | If a gentleman from Baltimore gives his agent instructions to provide every thing necessary for an East India voyage, what would he expect? |
47289 | If a man submits, of what use are calculations of money, for it may be drawn from him at the pleasure of his master? |
47289 | If done, has it been so done as to amount to an honorable fulfilment or acceptance of our terms? |
47289 | If gentlemen will have it that this is the accepted time for war, how has it happened that we have not had it before? |
47289 | If he did not feel perfectly comfortable in a cold day, should he therefore divest himself of all clothing? |
47289 | If he wished to promote division, how could he better attain his object than by denouncing the people of a particular section? |
47289 | If her Legislature possess it not, can they give it to a Senator? |
47289 | If it is possible to operate on France by commercial restrictions, let me ask if this bill will not accomplish that object? |
47289 | If it was indispensably necessary a day or two ago to provide a revenue, what had since occurred obviating that necessity? |
47289 | If it was not to have influence, why thus evade a decision on the prayer of the petitioner? |
47289 | If it would, to what amount? |
47289 | If justice be not already established in our country, can there be any probability that a more formidable army will effect an object so desirable? |
47289 | If not, then what is meant by this grant to take the property of your constituents, and leave them no remedy for the injury? |
47289 | If obligations of friendship do exist, why does Great Britain rend those ties asunder, and open the bleeding wounds of former conflicts? |
47289 | If obtained, will it accomplish the end proposed? |
47289 | If on such a question the House was to be governed by individual interests, what was the nation to expect from them? |
47289 | If our Government takes away our liberty, is it necessary to contend with a foreign Government for our rights? |
47289 | If our towns could not be defended by fortifications, he asked, would ten frigates defend them? |
47289 | If provision was made for trying this case, must it not be extended to all others? |
47289 | If 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? |
47289 | If she has it not, can she give it to her Legislature? |
47289 | If so, did he not go to England during the embargo? |
47289 | If so, how can we rely on them against a foe invading our country? |
47289 | If so, how did he go? |
47289 | If so, what will be the effect on the articles of cession and agreement between you and Georgia? |
47289 | If so, why not give the same credence to the letters of the Duke of Massa and the Duc de Gaete? |
47289 | If so, why not unite against the one as well as against the other? |
47289 | If so, would not a fleet secure us from attack also? |
47289 | If such doctrine is to be admitted, when should we have had a moment''s peace? |
47289 | If the alleged principle of retaliation be not the true one, what is? |
47289 | If the article of the constitution, however, did not mean that Congress might take States out of new Territories, what did it mean? |
47289 | If the decree existed in April, 1811, why was it not communicated to this nation, the only one interested in the subject? |
47289 | If the present establishment is not full, what is the reason? |
47289 | If the right to land be indefeasible, could the Government run a road through it? |
47289 | If their existence had been known at the time, would the President in his message recommending an embargo have failed to notice the fact? |
47289 | If then assistance should be offered on the part of the constitutionalists, what is your army to do? |
47289 | If this law were passed, Mr. W. asked, was it perfect? |
47289 | If this law were to pass, could the Secretary of State be authorized to declare the number of Representatives to which each State was entitled? |
47289 | If this principle, then, be equally urged by both, who is to judge between them? |
47289 | If 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? |
47289 | If this were not her object, why such a continued system of illegitimate blockades? |
47289 | If we are to have war, with whom is it to be prosecuted-- not in terms I mean, but in fact? |
47289 | If you did not at once return blow for blow, and injury for injury, would you not at least take a little time to consider? |
47289 | If you mean war, if the spirit of the country is up to it, why have you been spending five months in idle debate? |
47289 | If 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? |
47289 | If your citizens are united, you can capture Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick; when you have effected this, what remains next to be done? |
47289 | If, 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? |
47289 | If, 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? |
47289 | If, 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? |
47289 | If, sir, the sufferers under the sedition law did suffer contrary to the constitution, ought not their expenses to be reimbursed? |
47289 | If, then, it be inexpedient to make this discrimination against Great Britain, how is it less so, when directed against France? |
47289 | If, then, while creating a public debt, we neglect to provide the means of payment, what will be the consequence? |
47289 | In a word, is resistance submission? |
47289 | In 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? |
47289 | In bank bills, the credit of which is at least doubtful? |
47289 | In despite of experience, do they yet believe that our blessed country_ alone_ can produce food for the world? |
47289 | In 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? |
47289 | In peace we require no defence, and shall we declare war in order to defend ourselves? |
47289 | In performance of their lofty promises, in disregard of sacred duties, what have they done? |
47289 | In point of revenue how does it work? |
47289 | In relation to negotiating with measures of coercion in existence, Mr. N. asked, when did the violations of our rights commence? |
47289 | In spite of all its boasted effects, are not the two nations brought to the very brink of war? |
47289 | In such case, what will you do? |
47289 | In 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? |
47289 | In the Revolutionary war how did England stand-- how her islands? |
47289 | In the commencement of this inquiry, Mr. Chairman, we naturally ask ourselves, what edicts are to be revoked, and how are they to be revoked? |
47289 | In the days of terror, we shrunk at standing armies; and what is the object now-- defence? |
47289 | In the intermediate period, what aspect does a Union, thus destitute of cement, present? |
47289 | In the name of God, Mr. Speaker, what grounds had he for this presumption? |
47289 | In the name of common sense, how can this be true? |
47289 | In this view can you be prepared for war at the expiration of the embargo? |
47289 | In this way, I grant, our conduct may be impartial; but what has become of our American rights to navigate the ocean? |
47289 | In what are these ten millions of dollars to be collected? |
47289 | In what condition do they leave the country, which, eight years since,"in the full tide of successful experiment,"fell into their hands? |
47289 | In what do they differ, to their advantage from other felons? |
47289 | In what does it consist? |
47289 | In what does your export to that region consist? |
47289 | In what mode, or by what_ means_ are they to be effected? |
47289 | In what respect, then, are they to be compared to Aaron Burr? |
47289 | In what school had these illustrious men formed those noble principles of civil liberty asserted by their eloquence and maintained by their arms? |
47289 | In what situation would she have stood in relation to the United States? |
47289 | In what situation would you then place some of the best men of the nation? |
47289 | In what way are we bound again to launch our country into this dark sea of restriction; surrounded on all sides with perils and penalties? |
47289 | In what way will the public coffers be filled? |
47289 | In what will this Government consist? |
47289 | Indeed, sir, and in what respect is it entitled to this definition of self- evident? |
47289 | Independently of the obvious propriety of this proceeding in itself, have we, sir, no examples of the course of conduct recommended by the resolution? |
47289 | Is Canada so far conquered that you can now reduce the term of enlistment? |
47289 | Is Great Britain less powerful now, than she was twenty years ago? |
47289 | Is Napoleon our king? |
47289 | Is a question of construction never to be at rest? |
47289 | Is all this trade of no importance to trading people? |
47289 | Is another brood of"restrictive"harpies, more unseemly and more hungry than their predecessors, to be let loose among them? |
47289 | Is any advantage to be derived from complaining of this? |
47289 | Is any disposition evidenced to omit tearing them from their homes and families in future? |
47289 | Is any gentleman prepared to say a smaller penalty will effect the object? |
47289 | Is commerce to be protected by abridging the natural rights of the people? |
47289 | Is he a man of truth? |
47289 | Is it a fact, that greater injuries exist from France than from Great Britain? |
47289 | Is it a land force? |
47289 | Is it a restoration of French property seized under the law of non- intercourse? |
47289 | Is it a want of capacity? |
47289 | Is it admitted that the British fleet secures her from attack? |
47289 | Is it an enjoyment of our rights, or a direct, full submission? |
47289 | Is it because the British officers impress from our vessels others besides natives? |
47289 | Is it because you have power on your side, sir, that you will not submit to a judicial decision of this question? |
47289 | Is it by merely reviving the law of May last, as is the object of this amendment? |
47289 | Is it calculated to produce this effect? |
47289 | Is it come to this, that a law constitutionally enacted, even after a formal decision in favor of its constitutionality, can not be enforced? |
47289 | Is it denied that the Government can take property from an individual, making him compensation therefor? |
47289 | Is it equal and exact justice to those two nations? |
47289 | Is it extinct? |
47289 | Is it for the benefit of the great mass of the American people? |
47289 | Is it for the honor of the nation to remove the embargo, without taking any other measure, and to bear with every indignity? |
47289 | Is it for the honor or happiness of this nation that we should again pass under the yoke of Great Britain? |
47289 | Is it from his past treatment of us? |
47289 | Is it from the correspondence in the genius of the two governments? |
47289 | Is it indeed guilty to defend our country? |
47289 | Is it lost to this nation? |
47289 | Is it necessary as a measure of self- defence, as the only mode of resistance which will bring England to terms? |
47289 | Is it necessary for me at this time of day to make a declaration of the principles of the Republican party? |
47289 | Is it necessary for me to allude to the reduction of the Army-- to say by whom it was made? |
47289 | Is it necessary for me to descant upon the topics of difference which then separated the two great parties in the Government? |
47289 | Is it necessary to show that the right which was exclusive during the patent, is now the common right of all? |
47289 | Is it not a convenient agent for paying and receiving money? |
47289 | Is it not a spirit of war? |
47289 | Is it not admitted that we may lawfully exclude or admit the vessels of both belligerents? |
47289 | Is it not an abandonment of those rights to which we are entitled? |
47289 | Is it not an exclusive privilege secured to the stockholders of this bank? |
47289 | Is it not for the purpose of promoting"the general welfare"of the nation which we represent? |
47289 | Is it not important that the men who live on the seaboard should know that we have a force to repel attack? |
47289 | Is it not known that all the surplus product of the agriculture of this country finds its vent on the Continent of Europe? |
47289 | Is it not known that, of the whole of our tobacco, seven out of eight parts are consumed on the continent? |
47289 | Is it not obvious that England will not comply with her part of the condition, and that the Emperor never expected that she would? |
47289 | Is it not obvious, from the very terms of the letter, that it contains a condition that the repeal is a qualified one? |
47289 | Is it not presumable that the President would choose to have some communication with our Ministers abroad before the meeting of Congress? |
47289 | Is it not rewarding the perfidy of the one at the expense of the other, and at the expense of ourselves? |
47289 | Is it not surprising, then, that we are called upon to give him the approbation of this House? |
47289 | Is it not then our duty, as guardians of the public interest, to provide this powerful, this necessary means of defence? |
47289 | Is it not these acts which have shut us out from a market? |
47289 | Is it nothing to us to extinguish the torch that lights up savage warfare? |
47289 | Is it on similarity of language? |
47289 | Is it on the ocean that the impression is to be made? |
47289 | Is it possible such doctrine should be advocated on the floor of Congress? |
47289 | Is it possible that such a declaration could be deemed orthodox when proceeding from lips so unholy as those of an excommunicant from that church? |
47289 | Is it possible that this Government will sanction such arbitrary practices? |
47289 | Is it pretended to enter into any stipulations with Great Britain as to our conduct? |
47289 | Is it right to take from one part of the community ten millions of dollars and put it into the hands of another part? |
47289 | Is it so believed by the Administration? |
47289 | Is it that of a nation keen to discern, and strong to resist, violations of its sovereignty? |
47289 | Is it to be imagined that a power so vast would have been left by the wisdom of the constitution to doubtful inference? |
47289 | Is it to be supposed that the people of the United States will agree to this? |
47289 | Is it to our advantage to be excluded from the trade of the continent? |
47289 | Is it to secure the independence of the people, to suffer a foreign nation to impose upon them any terms which it thinks proper? |
47289 | Is it to tell us she never will redress our wrongs; or is it to divert us from a prosecution of our rights? |
47289 | Is it to the interest of the Administration that these abuses should continue, and that loans and taxes should be resorted to to cover them? |
47289 | Is it to walk about this earth, to breathe this air, and to partake the common blessings of God''s providence? |
47289 | Is it unjust to continue the war, till this demand is complied with? |
47289 | Is it want of pecuniary or want of physical capacity? |
47289 | Is it, that we have suffered the non- intercourse law to expire? |
47289 | Is it_ Le Roi s''avisera_? |
47289 | Is no respect due to the opinions of our predecessors? |

47289 | Is not the authority of the marshals competent to the execution of the laws? |
47289 | Is not the course a just and necessary one? |
47289 | Is not the income of every man impaired? |
47289 | Is not the war- worn soldier calling on us every day with his demands? |
47289 | Is not this a consideration that ought to be taken into account? |
47289 | Is not this feature modelled after the feature in the Government of England? |
47289 | Is not this proof that the merchants did not consider the risk very great? |
47289 | Is not this sufficient to induce us to take away from Governors this prerogative? |
47289 | Is not, then, the exemption from these liabilities an important immunity? |
47289 | Is such an act calculated to induce the belief that the embargo operates as a bounty on British trade? |
47289 | Is that a consideration to have no weight upon such a question as this? |
47289 | Is that a fact? |
47289 | Is that a mere idle discussion? |
47289 | Is the Administration for negotiation? |
47289 | Is the American nation ready to bow the neck? |
47289 | Is the Executive to infer from the proviso that something exists in the law which the friends of the proviso declare does not exist? |
47289 | Is the Secretary of the President of the United States knocking at the door for admittance? |
47289 | Is the South of easier access than the North, and is the circle of hostility to be extended to that quarter? |
47289 | Is the embargo submission? |
47289 | Is the enemy at the gate? |
47289 | Is the gentleman who represents that district( Mr. SEYBERT) willing that they shall absolve themselves from their contract by enlisting in the Army? |
47289 | Is the gentleman willing to surrender the carrying trade to Great Britain? |
47289 | Is the last effort to preserve the peace of the nation, to be abandoned from these considerations? |
47289 | Is the minority thus to be dragooned into this measure? |
47289 | Is the new and before unheard- of system of blockade abandoned? |
47289 | Is the object of this bill to promote science or the useful arts? |
47289 | Is the power to create this paper medium, or national currency, an attribute of State or national sovereignty? |
47289 | Is the removal of the non- importation act, and the admission of British vessels, nothing? |
47289 | Is then a refraining from so doing, submission? |
47289 | Is there a land upon the globe so fair, so happy, and so free? |
47289 | Is there a man who hears us who has not experienced its utility? |
47289 | Is there any liberty left among the people of France, or of those countries that France has conquered? |
47289 | Is there any limitation to the law on the statute book? |
47289 | Is there any probability that there will be any? |
47289 | Is there any probability, the slightest indication, that it will answer? |
47289 | Is there any provision in the constitution directing it? |
47289 | Is there any provision now made? |
47289 | Is there any thing in the last communication from the President, calculated to produce such an effect? |
47289 | Is there any thing yet wanting to fill up the full measure of injustice you have sustained? |
47289 | Is there no danger that we shall become enervated by the spirit of avarice, unfortunately so predominant? |
47289 | Is 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? |
47289 | Is there no difference in the price under these circumstances? |
47289 | Is there not in this some proof that the evil has been magnified? |
47289 | Is there not time, I beseech you, gentlemen, to proceed in the regular mode to the election of our officers? |
47289 | Is there, indeed, a physical impossibility of removing them? |
47289 | Is this a justification for such an atrocious and exorbitant grasp at power? |
47289 | Is this a novel doctrine, either as to time, or the nation who now attempts to enforce it? |
47289 | Is this an honest neutrality? |
47289 | Is this coincidence of members, this exclusively Federal petitioning, no mark of party? |
47289 | Is this embargo what it pretends to be-- preparation for war? |
47289 | Is this great continent and the free millions who inhabit it, again to become appendages of the British Crown? |
47289 | Is this measure no abridgment of their rights? |
47289 | Is this no argument for reduction? |
47289 | Is this republican? |
47289 | Is this the period of all others to be selected to incorporate unmeaning laws in the body of your statute book? |
47289 | Is your course along the highway of nations unobstructed? |
47289 | It appears to be limited to sixty days; at the expiration of that time will any one say we shall be prepared for war? |
47289 | It had been asked, why was the country unprepared for defence? |
47289 | It has been asked whether the embargo has not operated more on the United States than on the European Powers? |
47289 | It 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? |
47289 | It is asked of us, why admit the vessels of France, whilst injuries which she has done us are unatoned for? |
47289 | It was possible, but was it probable that any event would occur to alter our situation for the better? |
47289 | It was then read a third time; and on the question, Shall the bill pass? |
47289 | It would rise, on a removal of the embargo, to ten or twelve dollars; and how long would that price last? |
47289 | Let me ask him, if Administration should not take this course, whether it would not be perfectly proper that Congress should be in session? |
47289 | Let me ask if an American vessel under it can go to any port of France? |
47289 | Let me ask if it be not better to admit them? |
47289 | Let me ask the gentleman who asked that question, what mighty good our Army has done by land? |
47289 | Let me ask who will buy them when put into the market? |
47289 | Let me ask you, sir, what else he did, or could intend? |
47289 | Let me ask, what will be your export while that war continues? |
47289 | Let me ask, which have we placed in the best situation, France or England? |
47289 | Let me, therefore, inquire, in what this horrible act of substitution, as Mr. Jackson would make it appear, consists? |
47289 | Man is frail, and why should not, at times of public agitation and concussion of parties, abuses arise? |
47289 | May I not trust their confutation to that general knowledge of the subject which every member of the House possesses? |
47289 | May we not cherish this sentiment, without presumption, when we reflect on the characters by which this war was distinguished? |
47289 | May we not, in time, have the whole of South America, some of the West India islands, and, possibly, Great Britain? |
47289 | Mr. Chairman, is it for an infant nation, or a popular Government, to be deterred by the want of preparation? |
47289 | Mr. D. asked if the nation was to be saved by long speeches? |
47289 | Mr. MACON asked under what clause of the constitution Captain Murray and others had been remunerated? |
47289 | Mr. STANFORD said:--Mr. Speaker, I would ask if my colleague''s motion of amendment can be in order? |
47289 | Mr. Speaker, are we to be thus amused? |
47289 | Mr. Speaker, can any argument be more conclusive? |
47289 | Mr. Speaker, what would be your conduct on such an occasion? |
47289 | Mr. Speaker: What is this liberty of which so much is said? |
47289 | Must I not, then, deplore the feebleness of voice, the want of force, of manner, and promptness of mind and thought, which limit me? |
47289 | Must the best interests of the nation be put to hazard to save him the mortification of acknowledging his error and retracing his steps? |
47289 | My colleague( Mr. CLAY) has asked for the congeniality between a bank and the collection of our revenue? |
47289 | Need 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? |
47289 | Need I say any thing further on the subject? |
47289 | Need I undertake to prove that, from the moment Whitney''s patent expired, his exclusive right ceased to exist? |
47289 | No doubt, sir, when the embargo is taken off, a momentary spur will be given to exportation; but how long will it continue? |
47289 | No; it has the ability, that is admitted; but will it not have the disposition? |
47289 | No; it was intended by this bounty to make us a great commercial people; and shall we ungratefully reject the enjoyment of his unexampled beneficence? |
47289 | Now 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? |
47289 | Now suppose we should look over our former exports to this island in any one year, what should we find the amount to be? |
47289 | Now the questions which result are, has the act been done? |
47289 | Now what is proposed by denying a renewal of the United States''Bank charter? |
47289 | Now, I ask, if they dare not resort to a direct tax, excise laws, and stamp acts, where will they obtain money? |
47289 | Now, he asked, whether men who had any regard to national honor would consent to navigate the ocean on terms so disgraceful? |
47289 | Now, if it became a State, would not all right of negotiation on the subject be taken from the President? |
47289 | Now, is not here an essential right to be alienated? |
47289 | Now, is there any reason to suppose that the contingent expenses of our navy would be greater in proportion to its force than this? |
47289 | Now, sir, I ask when we have made this country a State if we can do this? |
47289 | Now, sir, after thus stripping this extraordinary sentence of all its disguises, and translating it into plain English, to what does it amount? |
47289 | Now, sir, as to the non- intercourse system-- how does that operate? |
47289 | Now, sir, did this decree exist at the time of its date? |
47289 | Now, that the State which the gentleman represents is almost in arms against us? |
47289 | Now, what is the fact? |
47289 | Now, what reliance could be placed on this patriotism? |
47289 | Now, when a vile spirit of party has gone abroad and distracted the Union? |
47289 | Of what avail is the proclamation of the Prince Regent in this country, ordering the British subjects home? |
47289 | Of what consequence is it to us what way the Gottenburg merchant disposes of our products, after he has paid us our price? |
47289 | Of what materials will this army be composed? |
47289 | Of what nature are the rights in contest? |
47289 | On commercial intercourse? |
47289 | On the question, Shall the bill be read a third time as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall the bill pass to the third reading as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass as amended? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this bill pass? |
47289 | On the question, Shall this resolution pass? |
47289 | On the question,"Shall this bill be engrossed and read a third time, as amended?" |
47289 | On the question: Shall this bill pass to a third reading, as amended? |
47289 | On 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? |
47289 | On the subject of maritime law, has he not stated things which before were unheard of? |
47289 | On what does the ability of a nation depend? |
47289 | On what ground can this discrimination be defended? |
47289 | On what ground does this rest? |
47289 | On what principle is it that British ships were first excluded and on which their exclusion was confirmed by the non- intercourse law? |
47289 | On what, sir, is the honor of this nation now suspended? |
47289 | Or against England, who, with the monopoly of commerce which you leave her to enjoy, has no object further to annoy you? |
47289 | Or by what right do we create a military school? |
47289 | Or does the obligation of friendship exist on the part of the United States alone? |
47289 | Or in what section of the Union does the gentleman presume to say the American people will not submit to the law? |
47289 | Or is he the President of the United States? |
47289 | Or is he to get that information from inofficial sources? |
47289 | Or is it there our seamen are held in captivity? |
47289 | Or was it ever contended that had not the embargo been raised, the terms of Jay''s treaty would have been worse? |
47289 | Or was the Administration conducted in such a manner as to make the firmness and patriotism of the nation itself doubted abroad? |
47289 | Or, are we to tantalize their hopes with energy in one law and imbecility in another? |
47289 | Or, if it be one of those unmeaning propositions, the discussion of which could answer no good to this House? |
47289 | Ought it not, then, to follow, that the rights of those employed on land or water should also be inseparable? |
47289 | Ought the impending calamities to be left to the hazard of a contingent remedy? |
47289 | Ought we not to relieve its anxieties? |
47289 | Ought we, sir, to depend upon these men to man our fleets, or to defend our ports and harbors? |
47289 | Our privateers; will they have no effect on Great Britain? |
47289 | Pay tribute-- for what? |
47289 | Permit me here to endeavor to illustrate my idea by a reference to the constitution itself? |
47289 | Permit me to ask, how has it been ascertained that a bank is necessary to the operations of the Government? |
47289 | Permit me to inquire of that gentleman whether he ever saw a law authorizing one man to give another his promissory note? |
47289 | Permit me to inquire, in the first place, how the object of the constitution may be attained? |
47289 | Porter,"Free trade and sailor''s rights,"617; is there a man doubts the war was justly undertaken? |
47289 | Public property; and what species? |
47289 | Put down this bank, and how then are your revenues to be collected? |
47289 | Question 2--At what place was the conversation held? |
47289 | Question 3--Have you seen the members alluded to, or any of them, since you first appeared before this committee on Saturday last? |
47289 | Question by the committee-- From the conversation of what members did you collect the information of which you have spoken? |
47289 | Question, shall the Senate adhere to their amendments? |
47289 | Question-- Do you know where Henry is now? |
47289 | Respectable merchants, I observe, form a part of the bank deputies-- for what? |
47289 | Retain the qualified veto, and take away the power to prorogue and dissolve, and what will be the consequence? |
47289 | Reverse this picture, admitting that you have a war with Great Britain, what will be its consequences? |
47289 | SIR: Before I reply to your question,"how many major generals and brigadiers are necessary for an army of thirty- five thousand men?" |
47289 | Say thirty- five, and you add twenty, making together fifty- five: what use is there in multiplying regiments without men? |
47289 | Say, if you please, that you had those ships built, could you send them to sea? |
47289 | Seamen, who shall be attached by every tie to this country, and on whom we can depend for its defence in time of danger? |
47289 | Shall I be obliged by a laborious process of reasoning to prove the obligation of Government to rescue him from such suffering? |
47289 | Shall I be pardoned, sir, when I fear our vessels will only tend to swell the present catalogue of the British navy? |
47289 | Shall I be told the President had discovered that the blockade had been"avowed to be comprehended in, and identified with, the orders in council?" |
47289 | Shall I not attempt to arrest your progress in the path where lies a serpent that will sting you to death? |
47289 | Shall it again be held, in its orbit by the attractive, the corruptive influence of the petty island of Great Britain? |
47289 | Shall it lie unproductive in the public vaults? |
47289 | Shall negotiation be spun out further? |
47289 | Shall the majority govern, or shall a few wicked and abandoned men drive this nation from the ground it has taken? |
47289 | Shall the nation give way to an opposition of a few, and those the most profligate part of the community? |
47289 | Shall the revenue be reduced? |
47289 | Shall this bill pass to a third reading as amended? |
47289 | Shall we after this be told that Congress can not constitutionally exercise any right by implication? |
47289 | Shall we always shrink from the contest? |
47289 | Shall we always yield? |
47289 | Shall we exclude both, admit both, or discriminate? |
47289 | Shall we have companies without captains, or shall the United States pay for two captains? |
47289 | Shall we sit here with our arms folded until the enemy is at our gates? |
47289 | Shall we then abandon commerce, or shall we strive to support it? |
47289 | Shall we then believe the one and not the other? |
47289 | Shall we thereby secure our commercial rights? |
47289 | Shall we turn a deaf ear to the claims of individuals upon Government because of this statute? |
47289 | Shall we vindicate our independence at the expense of our social or moral obligations? |
47289 | Shall we, by their conquest, obtain the objects for which this war is waged? |
47289 | Shall we, sir, continue the war for these men? |
47289 | Shall we, then, by passing this resolution, sanction an idea that Lieutenant- Colonel Washington was entitled to more respect than others? |
47289 | Shall we, then, utter this libel on the nation? |
47289 | Should France have been selected? |
47289 | Sir, are we to continue in this state any longer? |
47289 | Sir, can men thus situated, solvent as they ought to be ten times over, find relief from the State banks? |
47289 | Sir, have I moved you a nauseous, sickening resolution, stuffed with adulation? |
47289 | Sir, have we no rights to defend? |
47289 | Sir, have we not been for years contending against the tyranny of the ocean? |
47289 | Sir, how is this to be done? |
47289 | Sir, if simplicity was not originally contemplated by the framers of the constitution, why the imposition on the people in publishing it to the world? |
47289 | Sir, if this be the fact, of whom does this wealthy population consist? |
47289 | Sir, is it possible that Congress can so far forget their duties to the people and their respect for themselves? |
47289 | Sir, shall I not be permitted to point to the yawning gulf beneath? |
47289 | Sir, what can gentlemen flatter themselves by suffering this discussion to be protracted to so unwarrantable a length? |
47289 | Sir, what has been the cause of our present condition? |
47289 | Sir, what in such a case would be true honor? |
47289 | Sir, what is the nature and import of this proclamation? |
47289 | Sir, what is this power we propose now to usurp? |
47289 | Sir, what sort of title is this? |
47289 | Sir, what would be the effect of passing by unnoticed these gross and insidious insults to both the people and Government? |
47289 | Sir, where is your commerce now to protect? |
47289 | Sir, will not the same reasoning apply against the maritime towns being taxed to support the army of 10,000 men in the West? |
47289 | Sir, will your money, when collected, be safe in the State banks? |
47289 | Sir, without indulging in vague conjectures, what are the best data we have to form an estimate of the amount of specie in the country? |
47289 | Sir, would Great Britain rely for her oracles on the newspapers or pamphlets of this country? |
47289 | Sixty thousand? |
47289 | So far from it, would not the danger of French influence be resounded throughout the nation? |
47289 | Some gentlemen indulge great expectations from privateers; but has Great Britain any unarmed or unprotected trade which they can attack? |
47289 | Strip the proposition, and what language does it speak? |
47289 | Suppose an attack upon any portion of the American army within the acknowledged limits of the United States by a Spanish force? |
47289 | Suppose an attempt to subvert this Government, would not the traitor first aim, by force or corruption, to acquire the treasure of this company? |
47289 | Suppose it ours, are we any nearer to our point? |
47289 | Suppose that the whole fine in any particular case had been paid by individual subscription, what has the Government to do with that? |
47289 | Suppose these men had been arrested and tried in this country, what would have been their lot? |
47289 | Suppose they should neglect or refuse to make these appointments, can you compel them to do it? |
47289 | Suppose this expectation disappointed-- suppose the harbor of New York blockaded by two seventy- fours? |
47289 | Suppose you make this transmission once, can you do it a second time? |
47289 | Surely; and yet we pay annually a tribute for permission to do it-- and why? |
47289 | Surrender your independence-- for what? |
47289 | Take a landsman on board a ship, and what sort of a sailor will he make? |
47289 | Take off the embargo, they cry-- for what? |
47289 | Take, then, the population of Canada to be 300,000 souls; what number of militia should this population furnish? |
47289 | Tell me, said he, what is to keep a great proportion of them from your coast in 1813? |
47289 | That 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? |
47289 | That of our cotton, at least one- half finds its market there? |
47289 | That she can admit that we have her always perfectly in our power? |
47289 | That 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? |
47289 | That they should expend large sums of money for the purpose of buying them out? |
47289 | That we should repel insults and respect ourselves? |
47289 | That, because we can not submit to the edicts of the belligerents, we will therefore open a free trade with them? |
47289 | That, under the pretext of a purchase from an Indian, named Double Head, people have gone over to settle lands, is true; but from where? |
47289 | The Orders in Council-- and what were they worth to him? |
47289 | The SPEAKER inquired whether Mr. G. yielded the floor? |
47289 | The 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?" |
47289 | The amendments made by the House having been agreed to, the question was stated, Shall the bill be engrossed, and read a third time? |
47289 | The avowed principle is retaliation, but is it the true principle? |
47289 | The basis of all commerce is calculation; what calculation can be found for distant enterprises when the data are perpetually shifting? |
47289 | The commerce of that city, which exists only by commerce, destroyed? |
47289 | The committee rose and reported the bill without amendment, and the question was, Shall it be engrossed for a third reading? |
47289 | The gentleman from Kentucky( Mr. CLAY) asked, if banks are necessary for collecting the public revenues, why give them any other power? |
47289 | The gentleman from Pennsylvania asked yesterday, why not repeal the embargo laws, and provide for the enforcement of this system by a new law? |
47289 | The gentleman had appealed to the House to know why they would retain them? |
47289 | The gentleman says, suppose they were to return to their country, would they not be punished? |
47289 | The great subject for the contemplation of every reflecting mind in America was, what that remedy should be? |
47289 | The inquiry has been made, with some solicitude, what will you do with_ naturalized foreigners_? |
47289 | The majority now stand on high ground-- what will be said, and what will be the consequence of a refusal? |
47289 | The merchants? |
47289 | The negotiation opens, and what is done? |
47289 | The only question is, do they cease to violate our neutral commerce? |
47289 | The only question that presents itself is, Is the information useful to us? |
47289 | The press is groaning with pamphlets-- for what? |
47289 | The proceeding was unanimous; and what benefit did the British nation receive from this unanimous and prompt proceeding? |
47289 | The proper extent of the discussion growing out of this bill seemed to be confined to these inquiries: Can the force contemplated be obtained? |
47289 | The protection of the General Government claimed? |
47289 | The question is, Has he told the truth? |
47289 | The question is, how many marines are necessary, and in what battles are they employed? |
47289 | The question is, what regulation shall we make respecting public ships, and one of three courses is to be pursued? |
47289 | The question is, what should be done? |
47289 | The question ought always to be, What becomes the nation? |
47289 | The question then arises, what, under these circumstances, ought the officers and crew to be allowed? |
47289 | The question then presents itself, has Congress the power to divest the people of that right? |
47289 | The question was stated thus:"Is the decision of the SPEAKER correct?" |
47289 | The question was then taken--"Shall the amendments be engrossed, and, together with the bill, be read a third time?" |
47289 | The question was then, on what day shall it be read? |
47289 | The question which at once presents itself to every mind disposed to inquire, is, what is the object of this vast military force? |
47289 | The question"Shall the bill be engrossed for a third reading?" |
47289 | The right of not being vexed or endangered by paper blockades? |
47289 | The said bill was, accordingly, read the third time: Whereupon, Mr. SPEAKER stated the question from the chair, that the same do pass? |
47289 | The second object, which should never for a moment escape attention, Can the law be executed? |
47289 | The ship owners, the East and West India merchants, and what cause have they for war? |
47289 | The spoliation of your property? |
47289 | The true question is not, Is the matter expressed in this abstract proposition true? |
47289 | The violation of the personal liberty of your citizens and the degradation of the ensign of your sovereignty? |
47289 | The whole estate or my moiety only? |
47289 | Then the question results, has Congress a right, in order to determine its title, to refer it to any tribunal whatever? |
47289 | Then, to my mind, the only question is, shall we defend ourselves, or shall we submit? |
47289 | There ought to be no question as to what stock they sprung from; the true question was, ought they to be a State? |
47289 | They ask where are the men-- where is the money to be obtained? |
47289 | They asked--"What do we want of Canada? |
47289 | They complained of the first embargo; what did they get? |
47289 | They have been delivered to you by my honorable colleague-- what are they? |
47289 | They were gaining strength daily, and what was the situation of our Southern borders? |
47289 | They were repealed, finally, in consequence-- of what? |
47289 | Thirty thousand? |
47289 | This being the case, who would now be most likely to be supplied with it? |
47289 | This decree did not exist; and why was it not issued? |
47289 | This decree purports to be an act of reprisal on this country, and for what cause? |
47289 | This heaped up measure of legislative contumely is prepared; for whom? |
47289 | Through the medium of the State banks? |
47289 | To break up your infant manufactories, and to deprive poor children at once of a useful employment, and a home? |
47289 | To defeat the passage of this bill? |
47289 | To promote the public good or advance the national prosperity? |
47289 | To protect the constituents of my worthy colleague, in the enjoyment of their peace of mind? |
47289 | To provide no protection against smaller powers? |
47289 | To such favored beings what would be the suggestions of love, truly parental? |
47289 | To the Baltic, sir? |
47289 | To what is it owing that we are at this moment deliberating under the forms of a free representative government? |
47289 | To what purpose do we keep up the Marines, another branch of the Establishment? |
47289 | To what was our superiority owing? |
47289 | To whom will you confide the charge of leading the flower of our youth to the Heights of Abraham? |
47289 | Under all these circumstances was it wise and prudent to discharge the Navy? |
47289 | Under such circumstances is it not to be expected that this measure of the Executive will result in war? |
47289 | Under such circumstances, what should hurry us into the war? |
47289 | Under these circumstances what ought I to do? |
47289 | Under these circumstances, Mr. R. asked the House if it were not necessary for a committee to be appointed to probe into this business? |
47289 | Under this grant, Congress can pass laws to carry into effect the powers vested in the judicial department? |
47289 | Under what clause money paid into the Treasury had been returned in various instances? |
47289 | Upon meeting with this gentleman he inquired of me what had been done? |
47289 | Upon what ground, then, sir, is it that we are called on to pass this additional non- importation act against Great Britain? |
47289 | Upon whom are they dependent for legal existence and for length of days? |
47289 | Virginia has the physical force, but has she a moral right to violate the Constitution of the United States? |
47289 | War 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? |
47289 | Was Holland ruined by her navy? |
47289 | Was any nation ever less prepared for war? |
47289 | Was ever any body of men so cruelly wounded in the house of their friend? |
47289 | Was he expected to answer this question? |
47289 | Was he to set at defiance the law of the land? |
47289 | Was it believed that the gentleman from Pennsylvania( Mr. SMILIE) was disposed to submit to the belligerents? |
47289 | Was it competent, he asked, to the Government to receive as testimony the statement of the commander or crew of an American corsair? |
47289 | Was it for the purpose of destroying the Government? |
47289 | Was it for this the martyrs of the Revolution died? |
47289 | Was it not for want of unanimity in support of the measure? |

47289 | how is it so influenced? |

47289 | or does any American wish to see his country prostrated still lower? |
