What is lcirisldtion but the surrender of private

make some sacrifice ; must part with our Delilahs,
or we s h all -nolbe able to return to the narrow
path of economy from which we have deviated,
i or, unless this course be adopted, all our efforts
will be unavailing.
Sir, there are three alternatives presented tb
our view which must be the result of our delib
eration, and one of them wc must adopt to" rescue
our country from the present state of cmbarrass
mtnt. To borrow money, to tax our citizens, or"
tetiench ; to borrow money in the sunshine of
peace and tranquility) when the desert blossoms
as the rose, no loreign wars 10 encounter) no en
emy to contend with) is at variance, and almost
it reconcilable' with wise and economical legisla
tion. - l'u tax our citizens .Jit-Bucii a time, 'and
under auspices W favorable,' is a measure- that
would pi csent an odious and frightful prospcct
thcpcoplc would not bear with it, nor with uslfi

accountable for our legislative conduct; our re
sponsibiltiy plelgedV:-'-The3r'-h'HV'c"-''Conlided tJ
li s their best interest? ami wemtm return ana auo-
uiit to the tribunal of public opinion.
Sir, we believe to r.cire.iKlt is pwcticablCi and
within the reach of the present inquiry. The
exhausted state of pur Treasury points out the
necessity of a radical change in the system of
our finance) to provide for the national exigen-
(h j t .hpu tpppi c sstng ,SULcitizejis,a'ndde
our .uiircittittngendeayora tne evil.
But, sir, on this principle, I have no preposses

to another. .Let the denunciation be equal anU
genucil. 1 f justice is to be the standard by Avmcft
we arc to exercise our judgment in correcting
the. excesses of government) let it bo adminis
tered with cjiul hands. If your army istoplarge
and exceed" the proper number necessary for the
peace ctablishnient, reduce it'to such propor
tion as may be adequate to the present day. If
your navy be too extensive or expensive, lessen
(t, leaving only so many vessels as are ncccssaTy
for u.ir niarititne protection If there aic any or
many stipe i iiumeraryflfice created for the pur
