Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reflections on the Law of 1813, for Laying an Embargo on All Ships and Vessel: In the Ports and Harbors of the United States We offer the following reflections to the candid, honest, and dispassionate citizens of the congressional districts which we have the honor to represent, with a view to our justification for having voted against the passage of the embargo bill; and we cherish a lively hope that a very large majority of the citizens of our respective districts will be disposed to give our remarks an attentive perusal, and our arguments that consideration which they intrinsically merit: and we trust too, that upon taking such a course, our fellow-citizens will be convinced, that we voted correctly, or that the measure is one so problematical in its nature, that men equally wise and honest might differ on it in their votes. To those who believe in the infallibility of a favorite President, to those who believe that a dominant party under whatever name, will never err, and to those who believe that every remark which they read in a favorite newspaper is just the very language of wisdom, we need not address ourselves with any hope of convincing them that we voted correctly. To those of the first class, we just remark, that they ought to desire to see the attendance of congress dispensed with, because the wages of the members is too much to be paid for the mere formula of registering the views of the President; to those of the second class, we re mark, that they ought to be in haste to take such measures as would perpetuate the power of their favorites; and to those of the third class, we remark, that they ought to labor to bring all the powers of the government directly under the controul of their favorite editor.
