Chapter I: A. Coles (64)

_Representation, ratio of._--In the House, resolution to apportion one
Representative to forty-five thousand inhabitants offered, 224;
motion to postpone, 224;
better be decided at the next session, 224;
better to decide the ratio now than after the result of the census
was known, 224;
if a law is now passed, the fractions would cause an alteration,
224;
this is an attempt to settle a principle before the facts are known,
224;
if postponed till after the census and a particular ratio should
suit the three large States, they would carry it without regard
to fractions in the small States, 224;
if made now it will enable the Legislatures to district the States,
224;
extreme difficulty in settling it after the results of the census
were known, 225;
its settlement heretofore had ended in a bargain between the members
from the different States, 225;
laid on the table, 225;
question on filling the blank with the number of souls which should
entitle to a Representative, 316;
it should be filled before the result of the census is known, 316;
better if the bill declare that the House should consist of a
certain number of members to be apportioned hereafter, 316;
a very important bill fixing the construction of a provision of the
constitution, 317;
important considerations in favor of a large number, 317;
the present Congress may fix the ratio, but it will not be
obligatory upon the next Congress, 318;
the bill premature, 318;
violation of the constitution to pass this bill, 318;
it establishes a ratio which must be abortive, 318;
the apportionment must be according to the numbers in each State,
318;
the numbers are as yet unknown, 318;
idea of its unconstitutionality unwarranted, 318;
bill fixes only the ratio, 318;
object of declaring the ratio is that the State Legislatures may
proceed to district their States, 318;
postponement opposed, 319;
postponement urged, 319;
bill laid on the table, 319;
question on filling the blank for the number of inhabitants to a
Representation, 432;
37,000 moved, 432;
bill ordered to be engrossed for a third reading, 432.

_Sedition Law._--In the House, resolution offered for an inquiry as to
what prosecutions for libels had been instituted under the act
to punish certain crimes against the United States, 133;
if the committee inquire in the case of libels at common law it is
proper they should inquire in the other case, 133;
one member been a sufferer under the sedition law, 133;
resolution moved, 133;
amendment proposed relating to any private compensation to such
sufferers, 133;
Government could not rightfully inquire into this, 134;
the disclosure might be amusing if the House had power to make it,
134;
who compensated Callender? 134;
prosecutions under the common law and the sedition law essentially
different, 134;
who contributed to the gentleman from Kentucky (Lyon), 134;

those who paid the tax should also be remunerated, 137;
this principle has not been assumed, 138;
where is the difference in the cases of any of these sufferers? 138;
is this House sitting as a body to remunerate those who violated the
laws? 138;
moved to postpone indefinitely, 138;
the whole discussion of the sedition law turned on its
constitutionality, 138;
if unconstitutional, can it be viewed in the same light as if
constitutional? 138;
the subject of contribution considered, 139;
let the inquiry be made, 139;
what good purpose can it answer? 139;
under what clause of the constitution was Capt. Murray remunerated,
139;
duty of the House to make the inquiry, 139
further debates, 140;

_Territorial Governments, ordinance of 1787._--In the House, bill
reported to take away from Governors of Territories the power of
proroguing or dissolving their legislature, 39;
moved to engross for a third reading, 39;
a decision of a question of this kind should not be precipitated,
39;
the ordinance for the government of territories should be treated
with as much delicacy as the constitution of the General
Government, 39;
this is a mistake; the ordinance is a mere statute, 40;
these ordinances should be regarded as a compact between the General
Government and the territories, 40;
questionable whether an alteration could be made without their
consent, 40;
mature deliberation, not procrastination, was what was wanted, 40;
the ordinance is considered as a compact equally sacred with the
Constitution of the United States, and as unalterable, without
the consent of the parties to it, 40;
opinion of St. George Tucker, 40;
effect of taking away this power, 40;
taking away the power to prorogue would not deprive the governors of
their veto on laws, 40;
now, if there is any misunderstanding, the Governor sends them home,
40;
right of this House to pass the bill denied, 42;

this principle must have been adopted originally without any
discussion, 44;
this was an objection to George III., in the Declaration of
Independence, 44;
opinion of Judge Tucker read, 44;
parties to the present compact, 44;
what was the policy of the ordinance, and what the object of its
framers? 44;
if you have a right to repeal one part of the ordinance, you can
another part, 44;
the Constitution of the United States does not give to the people of
the territories the same rights as the people of the States, 45;
the articles of this ordinance were enacted previous to the adoption
of the constitution, and are made binding by that instrument,
45;
the old Congress wisely reserved the right to control the people of
the territories, 45;
the state of things now existing in Mississippi noticed, 45;
what part of these articles is unalterable? 45;
the articles of ordinance and not the form of government, 45;
application of the opinion of Judge Tucker, 45;
situation of the people will be improved, 45;
whatever leads to the conclusion that the people are always wrong
and the Executive right, strikes at the root of republican
institutions, 45;
facts respecting the people of Mississippi, 45;
no proposition for the good of this territory, but has met the
opposition of Georgia, 46;
a compact exists between the United States and Georgia, and let it
be adhered to, 46;
indefinite postponement moved, 46;
carried, 46.

_Territory of Louisiana._--In the House, bill for the government of
the Louisiana Territory considered, 430;
moved to strike out the section requiring a freehold to be possessed
by all voters, 430;
moved to amend by striking out every qualification but that of free
white male citizens, &c., 430;
question considered, whether it is better to require voters to hold
freehold property, or to suffer every man to possess the
privilege who is twenty-one years old, 430;
life and liberty are superior to property, 430;
dearer to the poor man than all his property to the rich, 430;
impossible to carry the principle of equality to its fullest extent,
430;
remonstrance of the inhabitants of St. Louis, 434.

_Territory of Mississippi._--In the House, petition for the division
of, 141;
moved to lay on the table, 141;
consent of three parties necessary to a division, 141;
the Territory, Georgia, and the United States, neither has
consented, 141;
if the request was improper, the report of a committee would settle
it, 141;
no harm can arise from the inquiry, 141;
certain facts might be inquired into, such as population, their
character, &c., 141;
petition laid on the table, 142;
report in favor of admitting the Mississippi Territory into the
Union, 352;
have sufficient population before a representative is elected, 352;
Orleans when admitted had a minor population, 352;
some respect due to the feelings of the Eastern States, 352;
admission of one State during a session was sufficient, 352;
why not wait for the actual census of the territory? 352;
resolution agreed to, 352.

_In the Senate._--Bill to authorize Mississippi to form State
Government referred, 411;
report on, 411.

_In the House._--Bill to authorize the people of Mississippi
Territory to form a State Government, 519;
the population is sufficient, and authority has heretofore wisely
been conferred in all such cases, 519;
particulars respecting the limits, 520;
amendment offered relative to the Territory of West Florida, 520;
debate thereon, 521;
carried, 522;
bill passed, 522;
bill to authorize the people to form a State government considered,
592;
inexpedient to give a territory with so small a population an equal
representation in the Senate with a State, 592;
proposes to include Mobile, now in possession of a foreign power,
592;
population greater than represented, 592;
anxious to bear their share of the burdens of the war, 592;
bill ordered to third reading and passed, 592.

_Territory of Orleans._--In Senate, bill to authorize the Territory
of Orleans to form a State Government, 265;
various amendments proposed, 265;
bill read a third time, 265.

_In the House._--Bill for admitting the Territory of Orleans as a
State into the Union, 320;
the bill proposes to include in the State all that part of the
territory lying west of the Perdido, the right to this part is
declared to be subject to negotiation; if it becomes a State,
this right of negotiation will be taken from the President, 320;
the necessity of a State government calls for this measure, 320;
it is a point of country particularly important to the Union, 320;
power of self-preservation necessary to the people there, 321;
the objection of title does not meet the merits of the bill, 321;
not ready to transfer the inheritance purchased by the blood of our
fathers to foreigners, 321;
doubtful if 30,000 inhabitants in the territory, 321;
these people are a part of the nation, and should so be considered,
321;
the great object is to make us one people, 321.

Have we constitutional authority to legislate on this subject, and
is it expedient so to do? 321;
by the enacting clause of our constitution it was ordained and
established for the _then_ United States, 322;
its framers and those who adopted it never intended its immediate
operation should extend to any people that did not then, or
should not thereafter, be included in the limits of the United
States, 322;
they did not intend to enter into partnership of this sort, 322;
Orleans was not within these limits when the constitution was
established, 322;
upon this principle we may form all the territories into States,
then what will become of the old United States? 322;
the constitution requires that Senators should have been citizens
nine years, a period longer than the people of this territory
have belonged to the Union, 322;
it is said, several new States have been formed by Congress, 322;
these were formed out of territories within the limits of the Union
on the adoption of the constitution, 322;
even if constitutional, it is an extremely impolitic and inexpedient
measure, 323;
two applications pending, neither has sufficient population, 323;
it is objected to this bill that the population of the State will
not be American, 323;
what power have we to negotiate about the territory of any of the
States? 323;
objections to annexing West Florida to Orleans, 323;
amendment moved to consolidate the Orleans and Mississippi
Territories, 323;
a stipulation in the treaty of cession, 324;
to waste the territories would violate previous engagements, 324;
the consent of Georgia would be necessary, 324;
meaning of the constitution, 324;
the right to become States was conceded to the old territories
before the adoption of the constitution, 325;
the article of the constitution was unnecessary unless it applied to
new territory, 325;
not for us to consider who shall be their Senators, 325;
Mobile and Orleans should not be under the same government, 325;
the trust embraced in the amendment is too extensive for a local
State government, 325;
other geographical limits proposed, 325;
amendment disagreed to, 326;
claims of the United States respecting the western limits of the
Orleans Territory, 326;
this bill extends jurisdiction over the province of Texas, 326;
remarks relative to arranging the western boundary, 326;
the principle of this bill materially affects the liberties and
rights of the whole people of the United States, 327;
it would justify a revolution in this country, 327;
if this bill passes, the bonds of the Union are virtually dissolved,
327;
called to order, 327;
repeated, that its passage is virtually a dissolution of the Union,
&c., 327;
decision of the Speaker on the propriety of the expression demanded,
327;
decision that a portion of the remarks are in order, and a portion
not, 327;
appeal from the decision, 327;
Speaker not sustained, 327;
the separation of the States resulting from a violation of the
constitution, is a necessity deeply to be deprecated, 327;
the bill assumes that this National government without recurrence to
conventions of the people or Legislatures of the States, can
admit new portions in countries out of the original limits of
the United States, 328;
if this authority is delegated by the constitution, it results from
its general nature as from its particular provisions, 328;
the preamble examined, 328;
its meaning, the extent of the country at that time, Louisiana not
then in the limits, 328;
if any particular power exists, it is the treaty-making power, 329;
this power examined, 329;
this question goes to the very seat of the power and influence of
the present members of the Union, 329;
the term, "New States," applies to territory within the then limits
of the Union, 329;
evidence of history, 329;
resolution passed, July 3d, 1788, is further authority, 329;
its meaning, 330;
the evidence should be very strong to prove the terms intended
something else besides this obvious purpose, 330;
its meaning can be proved, both affirmatively, with regard to new
States from the existing limits, and negatively, against new
States without those limits, 330;
this assertion examined, 330;
is it possible that such a power, if it had been intended to be
given by the people, should have been left dependent upon the
effect of general expressions, 331;
it is not so much a question concerning the exercise of sovereignty,
as it is who shall be sovereign, 331;
the treaty-making power has limitations, 331;
the situation of New Orleans, 332;
the moral and political consequences of usurping this power, 332;
what is this liberty of which so much is said? 333;
no fear of analyzing the nature of this love of our Union, 333;
this bill, if passed is a death-blow to the constitution, 334;
the bill will neither justify a dissolution of the Union nor lead
any citizen attached to it to contemplate it, 334;
our authority to erect new States is proved by theory and practice,
334;
the articles of confederation are evidence, 334;
similarity of the constitution and the articles of confederation in
many sections, 324;
further debate, 324;
indefinite postponement lost, 335;
bill passed, 335.

_Torpedo Experiments._--In the House, letter from Robert Fulton, 213;
the author a man of science and successful experiment, 214;
letter referred, 214;
report on do., 214;
resolution to grant Mr. Fulton use of the Hall for a public lecture,
214;
the Hall is exclusively appropriated to legislative purposes, 214;
an injurious precedent, 214;
hold out the idea that the House sanctioned it, 214;
words "public lecture" struck out and "explaining" inserted, 215;
bill making an appropriation for an experiment on the practical use
of the Torpedo, or submarine explosion, 218;
is this such a proposition that we can step out of the ordinary
course of encouragement given to inventors? 218;
is the experiment worthy to be made? 218;
this resolution appropriates money for an experiment, 219;
nothing new in it, 219;
the invention of David Bushnell, 219;
difference between the two, 219;
all-important to defend our ports and harbors, 219;
Mr. Fulton has little merit in originating this thing, 220;
alarm occasioned to the British during the Revolutionary war, 220;
verses of Hopkinson, 220;
if one of these machines in a hundred should take effect, the object
would be perfectly gained, 220;
nothing result from it of service to the country, 220;
if a fair experiment is intended, the appropriation is totally
inefficient, 220;
why has not the invention been patronized by the French, 221;
an actual experiment should be made on an enemy's vessel, 221;
experience during the war, 221;
the experiment should not be made, 221;
bill passed, 222.

_Vote of Approbation._--In the House, to approve the conduct of the
President, considered, 127;
an alteration has taken place in the manner of doing business at the
commencement of Congress, 127;
message of Jefferson to Congress, 127;
wisdom of suspending the speech of the President to Congress, 127;
an answer to the address was in fact the greatest opportunity which
the opposition to the measures of the administration had of
sifting and canvassing those measures, 127;
whatever goes to take away this opportunity, goes to narrow down the
minority, or opposition, 127;
the present is an occasion which behoves this House to express its
opinion on public affairs, 128;
it is due to the executive, 128;
resolution moved, 128;
this proposition contemplates a novelty in our legislative
proceedings, 128;
where would it end if the House were now to make a solemn
resolution, approving the conduct of the President, 128;
to adopt the resolution at this time would not comport with the
object of the mover, 128;
the conduct of the last administration in this respect met the
approbation of the country, 129;
postponement moved, 129;
in his proclamation the President has deserved well of his country,
127;
is this an abstract proposition? 128;
is this House to have no influence on the conduct of the Executive?
130;
the President is condemned by some for his proclamation, 130;
how the non-importation act was repealed, 131;
prospect of good terms with Great Britain, 132;
this act of duty which the President has done is only an ordinary
one, 132;
why then give him our approbation? 133;
indefinitely postponed, 133.

W

_War, Declaration of, against Great Britain._--Confidential message
sent to the Senate by the President, 415;

amendment proposed, 416;
motion to postpone to the first Monday in November, 416;

of the situation and relative strength of the country we are
required to make war upon, 416, 417;
our situation upon the lakes to Detroit and Fort Malden, 418;
motion lost, 418;
amended to authorize privateering on Great Britain and France, 418;
bill passed on committee, 418;
reported to the Senate, correctly engrossed, 418;
moved to postpone to October thirty-first, 418;
not a time to declare war, 418;
the Senate should not act from passion or any considerations which
do not arise out of an extended and distinct view of the
interests of the country, 418;
neither the government nor the people had expected or were prepared
for war, 418;
you have an immense property abroad, a great portion in England, and
part on the ocean, hastening home, 419;
the question of war had been doubtful till the present moment, 419;
it was supposed they were obliged to advance, or become the object
of reproach and scorn to friends and foes, 419;
if we were doubtful as to war, how could, how was it to be known by
merchants and others that the nation would be wantonly plunged
in war, 419;
we should select the time when the first shock should be least
disastrous and best resisted, 419;
what should hurry us into war, 420;
question on postponement lost, 420;
motion to adjourn carried, 420.

_Whitney's Patent Right to the Cotton Gin; renewal of._--In the bill
for the relief of Eli Whitney considered, 533;
moved to strike out so much as related to a renewal, 533;
although the bill assumed the character of a private act, it
involved considerations of great national importance, 533;
source of authority over the subject, 534;
here is a delegation of power to promote science and art, and a
description of the _mean_ authorized to be employed, 534;
the distinction between the _mean_ and the _object_ should be kept
constantly in view, 534;
this renewal is not intended or calculated to promote science or
useful arts, 534;
the object of the constitution is attained by granting monopolies
for a limited time to _future_ and not to _past_ inventions,
534;
the passage of the bill is a departure from the intent of the
constitution, 534;
the operation of this bill will levy a tax on Georgia and
Mississippi and Louisiana Territories only, which is not a
uniform tax throughout the country, 534;
the right of using has been purchased by the Legislatures of some of
the States, 535;
the patent expired four years ago, and an unqualified right then
vested in the people of the United States, 535;
the famous case of Miller _vs._ Taylor, 536;
English decisions, 536;
has Congress the right to divest the people of their right? 536;
the passage of this bill will render justice to Whitney, 537;
he has received but trifling compensation, 537;
case of Whitney _vs._ Carter, 537;
absolute necessity of the gin to bring the cotton of the United
States to market, 538;
extract from Edwards' History of the West Indies, 538;
