Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Speeches of Mr. Ross and Mr. Morris, &C That he be authorised to call into actual service any number of the militia of the states of South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio, and the Mississippi territory, which he may think proper not exceeding 50,000, and ´0 employ them, together with the naval and military force of the union, for effecting the object above mentioned, and that that sum of five millions of dollars be appropriated to the carrying into effect the foregoing resolutions, and that the whole or any part of that sum be paid or applied on warrants drawn in pursuance of such directions as the President may from time to time think proper to give to the secretary of the treasury. On the 23d, the resolutions were taken into consideration, and several senators delivered their sentiments upon the subject. On the 24th, after Mr. Wright, of Maryland had made a very long speech in opposition to the resolutions, Mr. Ross rose and spoke in substance as follows: He said that the propriety of introducing these resolutions became every day more apparent. - Since they had been laid on the table, our national councils had taken a new direction, and had assumed a much more promising aspect. - Until these resolutions were brought forward, there had been no military preparation; - No proposal to detach militia; - to build arsenals on the western waters; - to provide armed boats for the protection of our trade on the Mississippi. - He was happy in seeing gentlemen on the opposite side, pursuing a more vigorous course than they were at first inclined to adopt, and he hoped they would, before long, consent to take stronger and more effectual measures for the security of what was in hazard. As he had, on a late occasion, stated at large his reasons for presenting the resolutions, he would not detain the senate with a repetition of them, except where they had been misrepresented or distorted during the debate. - He could not suppose that any gentlemen would intentionally mistate what had been said; but it was very certain that sentiments and assertions had been ascribed to him, in the course of the discussion, not warranted by any thing he had advanced.
