On the 3d of March, fir, I had not forgotten
it wan impossible that I should have forgotti'ii thr
rccotnmcndatiuii in tho rncssago. at tho nCiiing ol
thai scssiun, that power should bo vested in tho
Prcrident to issue letters of marque and reprisal
against Franco, at his d, tension, imtho recess of
Congress. Happily this power was list granted,
llul tuppotc it hnd been, uhnt would then have been
tho true condition of tine Government ? Why, sir,
this condition is very shortly described. Tho whole
vkr power would Imc been in tho hand of the
Prcsidont, for no man can doubt n momcti that
reprisals would bring on immediate war; and the
rcasury, to the amount of line vote, in addition
to all ordinary appropriations, would have been ul
Inn absolute disposal nlso. And i this in the
time of peace. I beseech soboi men, of all parties
I beseech all true lovers of constiliitio:al liberty
tn contemplate thin state of thingi and tell mc
whetner such be a truo republican administration
of this Government. Whether particular conse
quences had ensued or not, is such an accumulation
of pouer in tho hands of the Executive according
to the spirit of our system 1 Is it cither wine or
safe! Han it any warrant in tho practice of for
mer limes ? Or arc gentlemen ready to estab
lish tho practice, as an example for tho benefit of
those who arc to como after us 1
But, air, if the power to mike renrisnU. n,l H,i
mot.oy from tho Treasury, had both been granted
is there not great reason to believe thai wo should
havo been now up to our cars in a hot war 1 I
think thcro is reason to believe this. U will ho
said, know, that if wc had armed the President
with this power of war, and supplied him with this
grant of money, France would have taken this fur
such a proof ol spirit on our part, and thtt she I
would havo paid the indemnity without further do-

Mr. Prcsident.it is the misfortune of tho Senate
to havo differed from tho Prcrident on many great
questions during tho last four or fic years. I
haie regretted this state of things deeply, both on !
personal and on public account; but it has beet)
unavoidable. It is no pleasing employment, it is
no holiday butiness, to maintain opposition against
power and against majorities, and to contend for
stern and sturdy principles, against personal popu

went on commenting upon tho great speech re
cently delivered by Mr. Webster in the Senate, in
tho most severe and cutting manner, denying its
assertions, running on: against its positions and
ridiculing its urgtiments, with tremendous sarcasm
and indignation. Once Mr Adams was called to
urder. Considcrablo confusion and great sensa
tion prevailed. Mr Wise hoped, ho said, the gen
tleman would be permitted to go on, out of order,
or in order. He wished him to divulge all he know
