And if I knowrtl e lligs of my own heart, I

UAae that in the diUharke ol this duty I meet the

approbation of my fe low men But, Sir, if thit
approbation is only to be obtrned by the uncon-
'ditional futrender of my uiiJerftanding, and the

the Fiehdeiit from difmiflitig .you from office, and
not the UgiHuore irons dcttroying y ur otRcc. 'Do

tak-nto decide on a q icftion not ncccffai ily before

moment to be ieve the meafirc origina-el in a want
of confidence in thole who tepr- feut the ll.iie and
the pMple in this aflsmbly. And yet, if that con
fidence exiflt, the icafont f r this procedure do not
iinmcdiately ptefent ihemfalv'S to the mind.'
I hope, an, it win not oe anoentooci tn.t i

proceed to an examination 'ol the queflion under

two puis : f rfl, ihe exprdirn.y ; and Secondly, the
authoii'y of congrefs to p.' the bill on the table.
Thii ii natural and enrrtft dicifion; but I fhail
in. ft the order of confidering the queftio::, and
firfl examine our power to aft, before we confi ler
the rtpedieucy ol act on. A id if alter a calm and
