Observations of Mr. Cushmw, of Mas sachusetts, on the amend mcnt to the bill virtually to repeal 44 an act to pro vide for ctrtain persons engaged iti the land and naval service of the Uni ted States, in the revolutionary war." Mr. Chairman: 1 am opposed to the amendment now under consideration, as well as to most oi the provisions of tfu bill, ad reported by the committee of w*y* and means; lor, as much as 1 re gret that the revenue should be bur dened with a list of pensioner.*, of al most every description, 1 should more deeply regret that ihe law granting aid to th?- revolutionary soldier, in teduqed circumsiar-Ces should be repeaieu, or even modified to his detriment. This reprul, sir, or mbdific tion, would be at tended with consequences to be deprc cat' d. It would shake a coi.fi ier.ee in the promises of governments and excite suspicions injurious to its reputation for wisdom or -rectitude. What, sir! will yo^i, of your own grod will and pleasure, make a gratuity, and guarantee your bounty for life, by all the formalities of I.iw and justice, and, upon experiencing some trivial inconvenience, some tem porary scantiness of funds, some del?.) in collecting your revenue, rescind your solemn engageim nt? Who hereafter will h3v<* any reliance on your plighted faith? Such a conduct would degrade an individual, and will it comport with the honor and di^ui'y of a great nation, if not with an overflowing treasury,- rich in resources? Will it not serve to strengthen the opinion, too readily adopted, t fiat a government, by the peo ple, is unstable and fluctuating; that it is characteristic of all republics to be ungrateful? It belongs to the American republic, by a magnanimous policy, to wipe away this vile reproach ? to pre vent this foul stain. The present generation, living in ease and basking in the sunshine of prospe rity, can form no adequate conception of what the army of the revolution sut fered in the cause of liberty, to prevent the tyranny meditated for this country. In the first years of the war tne sol diers enlisted with little or no oounty: served with little or no pay; frrqiun 1) subsisted on scanty rations ? >ar.d, hun ijry, thirsty, a?d without convcnieiu clothing, endured the severest fatigue. They took the field in the lowest eb^ of their country's fortune, with no prv-. pert before them but victory or death. Amidst the inclemency of the seasons they performed difficult marches, while the falling snows were discolored, or the froz n ground bespringtcd, with the blood issuing from their lacerated feet. On the co d earth they bivouacked, ex posed to the beating storms, with no other covering but the canopy of tin Heavrns. Under every discouragement tiny persevered, and in every scene of action or distress displayed a patience and fortitude, a patriotism and valour, which no obstacles could overcome, no dangers appal. They suffered, they fought and bled, not to swell the tri umphs of a proud conqueror? not to enslave any portion of mankind? hut in the cause of justice and humanity ? to ameliorate the condition of their tellow men: aud their achievements were such as to astonish and delight the world. They broke the rod of the oppressor, and procured for an aggrieved people freedom, sovereignty, and indepen dence. I o an honorable gentleman trom Ma ryland, as well as to an honorable gen tleman from New-Jersey, (general* Smith and Bloomfiv.:\) who pa rook in the sufferings, and aided the t ni iip is of the revolutionary army, 1 dan - peal for the general corn cinest of w.iat 1 have here affirmed. !?? it credible; does it not rather exceed belief, tha' a single murmur should be heart!, an un pleasant sensation indulged, because mt soldier, who devoted the bloom and vi gor of life to save his country froiTTop pression, should reccivc from that coun try a small boon? Is it manly; is it ge nerous; docs it comport even with equity, to take from him this boon, ami leave him nothing to show for his prow ess and toils, but poverty, wretchedness, and scars? Let no such injustice, sir, staiu your journals. Let it nrver be recorded by history's golden ptn. Does it becomc those who, privileged with a seat within these magnificent walls; who behold the splendours of the capitot; who solacc themselves in the elegant pleasures, the refined luxuries of the city; whose every sense is regarded with its brilliant scenes: does it become those who, by the courtesy of the people, are clothed with the robes of office, and bv their bouuty fare sumptuously every day: docs it, sir, become such to grudge the plain morsel, the homely meal, tu the war-worn soldier, by whose suffer ings and blood they are enanled to par ticipitc in thos* eltvatcO enjoy mcnts) Honor, ?nd every ennobling sensation o t the generous mind) must recoil from the attempt. It should be the policy of our government, as 1 trust it is, to coun tenance manly virtue, to aherish exalt ed merit, to allure to uncommon excel lence by motives calculated to opetaid on liberal minds, and generously to re ward the patriotic and brave, who, for the public safety, expose their own lives. In advocating the cause of the revo lutionaiy soldiers, 1 feel a confidence in the rectitude of my sentiments. They are supported 'by those ol the gn at | Washington, so justly styled the la ther of his c ountry; which, 'air, with your h ave, I will recite. They are to be found in a letter addressed to the President of Congress, dated H? ad Q urers, N wburfj, M ?ch 18, 1783. They are thesi : 4 If, besideN the simple payment of their wages, fuither com p;* nation is not o ie to the suffering* <tnd sacrifices ot the office rs, then have | I been mistaken indeed. If me whole army have not merited whatrv . l a g: ; tc? ' ful people can bestow, th? n havr 1 been beguiled by prejudice, and buJ' an op inion on the basis of error." " And if, retiring from the field, they are to grow old in poverty, wretchedness, and con kcmpU if they are to wa through the I vile mire of dependency, and owe the miserable remnant of that life to cha rity, which hitherto has be? n spent in honoi; then shall I have. learnt wliat in gratitude is; then snail I have realized a tale which wili embitter every mo ment of my future life. But I am un der no such apprehension. A country rescused L?y tneirarms from impending ruin will never leave unpaid the debt of gratitude Such, sir, were the sentiments of the patriotic chief of our revolutionary ar my. They speak to the understanding, and they speak to the heart. They in voke our justice as well as our grati tude} and they urge with a pathos and force which, I trust, will not be resisted. , I am, sir, unwilling to b. lieve that there arc tmny in this hous< , or even in the ;.aiion, who would snatch from the ve teran soldier the only prop on which He can lean now in th* dec. nc of life. This would be spotting with ..is feelings. It wouid not merely cauM ihose wounds wnich he r? c ? iv*;d iti fi*hti;>jr for inde pi ndencf, 'o bleed .atresh? ?,i would make; h. a. id deep incisions in the 'eu chvrest sensibilities of the neart. What, siii after a-^sudji in g the anguish of his und, a d raiMi.^ m him some faint (iv sire of life, will you withdraw ymr compassiona;c hand, and leave him to perish in his blood? I conjure you, sir, by those almost divine sympathies which are ciicrished by the patriotic and the brave, to continue your bounty. Im part to the drooping some gleam of comton, some ray of consolation, has tening, as he is, to that ui.d.scoveied country from whose bourne no traveller leturns. I dissent, sir, from gentlemen who have expressed their wishes on this sub ject. I neither desire, with my amiable yjung friend and worthy colleague, (Mr. Lincoln,) that the soidier of the revolu.ion should Irvc /orvcrf nor, with the honorable speaker, whom I should feci a pride and pleasure in calling my tnend, that hie soldier should be pro tracted to the term of nine hundred and ninety-nine yean. If If have any wish on this score it t* this, that, as the sol dier ol the revolution fought tne good lignt, and sealed the republican cause with his blood, w1m.ii he shall have fi nished his course, he may t e trari.iated to happi-. r regions: w ere, sec ure 'roin ne sti iciui e? and .r..vn>ol toe unytaic f.il, he may leccive the rewards tips to '.iinotisui and vaiour, ?o mora. vir.ue.V .n. i vf?hei .?us deeos. ? ? - -? s vw.y;ijrv&uija3ai?
