' country. I wish npon this subject to prae-
tiee upon the old deliuition of morality of
.doing to others as I would be douel by, I
want no interference of foreign Status and
UoverumeiitK in our internal affairs any
where, and therefore! am not willing to set
the practical example of such interference
ou our bchali with their internal concerns.
I know, Mr. President, that this resolution
spring's from the highest and best motives.
1 know that my honorable friend, who has
modified it, at lca.-t in my judgment, has no
superior in knowledge of the honorable and
elevated sentiments which belong to the hu
man heart. But it was well remarked, as
I think, by Sallu.-t, or some of those old
llonian writers, that Caesar onee said in the
Roman Senate that there was never any
course of measures which had brought ruin
upon a couutry which at their first outset
did not spring trom some good motive, aud
in the initiative were intended to accomplish
some good end. Seeing, then, Mr. Presi
dent, as I think I do, that the ttep which it
is asked of us to take may lead to the un
pleasant and disagreeable consequence to
which I have alluded, I eanuot, for myself,
vote for this resolution.
I beg to say, before going further, that in
the illustration I have selected for the pur-
pose of conveying to the Senate the notion
which I have of the evils to which we may
be subjected, I do not mean at all to inti
mate that those gentlemen to whom this re
solution refers are to be, in any single in
stance, confounded with the Christiana riot
ers that I have mentioned. Par otherwise ;
I intended no such thing. It was an un
pleasant comparison; but I selected it as an
illustration of the principle upon which we
may hereafter be assailed through a pro
ceeding instituted by ourselves.
The honorable Senator from New York,
in the remarks he has submitted to the Sen
ate this morning, after assuring us that
there was no danger that Great Britain
would take any offence at this proceeding,
hieaiue exceedingly bold, and holds in very
slight regard and estimation any offence or

some little salutary tear before hand ol the

may require.
liat, Mr. President, I have an objection
to this resolution of another and different
kind from that suge-ted by the honorable
S -nator trom New York. It has 1 een said
1 v tho Sciiat or from Michigan (Mr. Cas)
that lireat IJfit'iin will not .card this iu
tin., light of an official iiifrpo-itioe. with her
, , ..rieerns. We hear from various quarters
taut tiie probability is that the Jinti-h dot-
t tmin nt, aetin.' upon this intimation of the
wi-hes of the American people, may gladly
interpose and discharge these gentlemen
Irom their hard captiv ity. For one, I should
be a little s- rry that that iov rmueiit
should, at our inti rpoition ami as a favor
to u, ii.t rpo-o ami si t these; gentli-men at
liberty. And why? IJi-cau-e -ir.it is very
olavioiis that it places ih under an obliga
tion to the Priti-h liovermm nt. It only en-tlt.-s
them to iiit -rferc by way of interced
ing in behiilf of our p. a-.ple, if any of tliem
-b'.iild be convinced of offences similar to
tint whicli I have referred not only to in
terfere by way of ititi-reedin-r. but to come
vv Ith a elaiit, upon Us that she shall be heard.
1. fir one, am not willing tint this country
-hall lay it-elf under any eu'h obligation
by tie- clemency, courtoy, and kindness of
the British (hii- n.
I do not join in the denunciation which
' tia L moia!.!.. Senator from New Vork has
tin- moriiini' poun d forth upon the conduct
and charae o-r of the British ioverimient, or
tin- (oiidui.t and character of the British
church. But, while I .do not choose to en
P r into such tirade' of condemnation upon
any foreign nation or e-tabli-hmcnt, I iiy-i-i

complaint upon our part, and in the next
place ith the ri,'bt of complaint upon theirs,
it
Jo not treat their inti rpo-ition as fa
voi-ihly as they have treated our-. But,
Mi. I'r'i-ident, if I did pronounce the de
niii.clu'ioii which the honorable Senator has
this morning pronounced upon the Kngli.-ti
iiovcriiine nt and j.eople, I would not make
the di-e laiiitcr which he has made. He
-peaks of In land and the Iri-h as b( in-i
victim-, of the most detestable, barbarous,
and unprincipled oppression and persecut oii
I do not mean to quote- his words, hut
that i the substance of what he has said-
and at the same la; savs he has no nredin-
dices agai.vt the oppressor. I do not un-
der-.tand how a man can extend his nympa-
thy equally to the oj pressor and the op-
nre-.seu. eo jallv it the wron-doer anil the
wronged. If the lint of what he sabl is
correct, it appears to me that be cannot
con-wteutlv do other ue than not merel
to denounce that ijovernment, hut to have, i
if that is the nrorior word, rirriiiilieea niri.f

condition of exiles from their country. It
is sufficient for mo here whatever opinion
as an individual I way eutcrttuu upou this
gubject to soy that, as a Senator of tho
Cuiteu Mates, i cannot consum, iur n.y
part, to support
measure which, whether
it gives offence or U wet by approbation
and accordance upou Uio part ol tue.iMiu n
Government, seems to me to be followed iu
cither case, aud in the latter principally
aud chiefly, with consequences which wo
may sec occasion to regret.
'i'here is one sentiment which was express
ed by the honorable Senator from Michigan
(Mr. Cass) which commands my mo t cor
dial assent. I was struck with it. I felt its
force and propriety, and its applicabiiity to
the question now under con-ineration, and
some kindred subject, which, tliojgli not
now before the Senate, lie upou your table.
It is in these words :
" It is best to let a little common sense
into our diplomatic questions."
I know no case which, according to my
judgment, more requires that we should let
that wholesome, souud propo-ition have due
weight and influence upou us to exercise
little common sense in the regulation of
I our concerns. Let us not be carried away
captive with emotions which are generous
! and noble in themselves, but which do not
furnish a proper guidance for reprcscnta
tive conduct. A nun in the private trans
actions of life maallow a protuse generosi
ty to prevent him from relusing any of the
applications for helji, aud thus cxhau.-t his
purse and beggar hiflt-elf for tifo. Wlieu it
is done, however severely we disapprove,
we are obliged to have a sympathy tor him
w ho, under such impulses, has sacrificed his
own and himself. But those who represent
