ButViy the bonnrvbe gentleman pub ic opinion is against you ; h Is that which, -counteract your opera tions ; it is that which 4s oecessiry to your success. Without denying the correctness of the; principle, he would ask what better criterion for ascertaining public opinion could be adopted," than the ; opinions of this House f How shall we learn with more truth the septimentsof the peo pie. than through their .immediate representatives I What other mode is pointed out by the laws or the con stitution I " : But to excuse or to extenuate the improper course of the minority, the gentleman invokes the practice of the parliament of Britain cites the ex ample or Chatham, roX and Uarro and $ays with no little sell complacen cy, that it was not the opposition, but the manner of it that excited th.sen sibiltty ot vrnii majorities ; it was the splendid eloquence and keen sar. casm of these immortal men which rendered it necessary, to charge on them a'l the misfortunes, foUtes, and crim s of administration, Mr. R. would rcmai-k, that the majority of parliament .were, In some measure crmpensated for the opposition ot their respectable adversaries, by that very oratory so deservedly the theme of universal admiration. Hf doubt ed if the mtjority of Congress had a ny suth consolation, he very much doubted if this minority had any claim to rank with their imagined prototypes they no more displayed their, talents or imitated their patri otism, than' did the government here, the bribed and corrupt and tyranni cal rulers of that country, the object of its scorn and hatred. A language often held on this floor, against which he '' could never, cease' to protest However adverse-from' the .spirit of our constitution, however ruinous to its principles, it ws convenient to the minority to arrogate to themselves that virtue which necessarily belongs to opposition to despotic institutions, but it Is absurd to refer. it was falsr to sayythat in a republic the mioori ty wrr-;, either in regard tomoralitv or pontics, entitl d to peculiar cnnd deration. Under other forms of o vernment, minorities were right ,-jn republics, from the nature of things, they were generally wrong. . ; .. The honorable gen tic mat; going b irk to a period anterior to our re v -lution, telb u that the peop e of the colonies resisted Britain,' because the minister, under pretence of regulating commerce, designed to work his hand into their, pocket. Are the measures of our government calciila ted to produce any such effect ? .Does the riiminution of our commerce en rich our treasury I ; Are not the inte rests of the government and ihe pe'o pie' of the United Slates the same? Is it ubt clear that it was to counter act a second attempt ( ike that to "re sist whit h was once so glorioua)fby EogUodv to put her hands, into our pocket? j to. raise a revenue' from. our trade,-by demandir g toll and tribute for permission to navigate the ocean, that gave 'rise to the restrictive sys tern, and brought uuon us the present War ? D irs it belong to .patriotism or common 'sense at one and the- same time to oppose both measures that are J oppressive, nuu inose ma; arc aaopt cd to' counteract thcra.f The honorable gentle maihas re probated land-vridicuied ; a'ny attack on CaoadU-ir.fs idle,it'ts Quixotic!

It is chimerical to think of concjUering Canada V but it isV,8r tp aasailthe lirifish navy. Vith mil lifn.of inhabitants we can make Nno rnjpression on a' d stunt and feeble co iony of the enemy $ but with fair i i- hopei he maYar;jtheir"navv;.'t6thfe j coraoai a aozen arroea vessels may encounter one . thousand ! x 1 " ' Mr. Chairman,' the gallant achiey ments of ouf navy entitle it to the ad miration ami gratitude of the country; it reflect glory on the government under which it acta : it has redeem ed trie wounded honor of the nation, and well may;; we' rejoice,, for great rnut nave oeen its exploits, to nave created W enthusiasm which unites in its praise pur otherwise divided and distracted community. W,e are told by the honorabto gen tleman, that he is , prepared !to .vote for defensive measures, under certain lim'tations, and necessary reservation s offensive war is criminal and Un just, but'he forgets that he has him self advised us to assail, in every possible wavfs the fleet of our enemv. Is not this offensive war; and does morality make a difference between discharging a broadside against a fri gate and bombarding against the walls of Quebec ? Is it murderous toi kill an Englishman in Canada, and honorable to do it at sea ? ' To term the war; offensive is a tmere pretext for the shameless abandonment of every duty -that the troops to be raised are not to be employed for die fence ; that our own territory is to be invaded and ravaged by an unop posed foe, is i an assumption the most extravagant and preposterous. The minority do not believe it ; it is'not believed by 'one man in the nation But this plea, flimsy as it is, is the only plea for,a dissolution of ohfiga tions, in all countries, and in alleges heretofore 'held sarred. But the Ijonorahle gentleman wi!I aid in pro- terting the country, only after every effort to obtain a peac shall fal ; and e ven then not unless the mode of de fen e shall be such as to meet his ap probation. The trutH is, the aid of the pirty to whirhhe belongs will not be afforded. If the tlm-i! could ever arrive when, their assistance might be expected, one wou d -oppose, that when an invasion was not only threat ened, hut a' tually effected, it would not be withheld. Whilst we listen, to declarations of their willingness to shield their native ; land from the profanation -of a hostile 'tread the fact occur.

The enemv mitrht be driven h?ck, pursued and, cuntratv to th ir principles concuered without the bounds ot our dominion. , I shall now, said Mr R. proceed to notice some of the observations whi- h fell from the honorable gentle man from New York (Mr. MUVrr) during his J desultory qration.--Tbe, gentleman' -abruptly lays openlhis course, and states his views, the result no doubt of much mature deli b era. tion, of. profound thought; and deep investigation. He tells' us wnatfweJ 9 , 9 t have so often heard before, and might therefore have expected, , that he is resolutely determined to vote lor no measures except th'psef a defensive character rla the proposition b'tb' gentleman from Virginia .M?.
