Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. M´lane, of Delaware The dazzling reward of popular favour, invested wi hall its fascinations, has been held up on the one hand, and the appalling spectre of public denunciation, with all its frightfulness, on the other. The sincere and humane, actuated, I am sure, by the best and purest motives; the; spiring demagogue nd ambitious politician; those who wish well to their country;. nd those who seek power on the troubled sea of popular commotion; have promiscuously united in these public agitations, until the press has teemed, a id our tables groaned, with a mass of pamphlets and memorials beyond example. The state which I have the honor, in part, to represent, has been the theatre of a full share of this agitation; and the Ir.norable legislature of that respectable state has been pleased recently, to take up the subject, and have unanimously resolved that, in their opinion, Congress have the constitution 1 power, and ought, to impose this restriction upon the new states. Entertaining the respect I do for the intelligence of the people of my own state, and the character of their legis ature, I cannot find my npinion in opposition to theirs without the most unfeigned regret. For, although I do not concede to the legislature of a state the right of instructing the representatives of the people in Congress, or of emptying its official character to influence their conduct or to affect their responsibility, yet, viewing their acts, in thit respect, as the opinion? of the individual members inertly, I cannot regard them with indifference, selected, as they undoubtedly should be, from their fellow citizens, as distinguished for some portion both of virtue and intelligence.
