To ja' part of the y ; S. and that part which sup ports the amendment, it cannot be impor tant, except as it is made so by the cir: cumstances of the tirwes In ill questions like tht present,, in the U. S. the strong niay, yield without disgrace, even in their, jown opinion ; the weak cannot. ; Hence, the propriety of not attempting to impose this new condition on the people f Mis srui.'.. Their numbers are fe w,, compar ed to those of : the whole V. S. Let the, U. S. then abandon this scheme ; 'tetthrir magtianimity, and not their powej, be felt by the people of Missouri ; The attempt to goverp - too jnuchi has produced every civil war that ejer has happened, & will probably, every one that ever mav be All' governments," no matter .what their Term, want more power and more autho rity, arfd all the governed want less gov ernment.. Great-Britain lost the TJ. States by attempting too much, and to introduce new. principles of governing. . The U S. f would not submit to the at?empt,& earn-: estly endeavored to persuade, G. Britain to abandon it, but in vain. Tie U. States would not yield ; and the result -is known to the world. The battle is not -to the strong nor the race try the swift.. What reason have we to xpct th,at we can persuade Missouri to! yield to our Jopinion, that did not apply as strongly, to Great Britain ? .They are as near akin to us, as we were" to G. They are . " flesh . , of . tuir flesh, and br.ne of cur bnne.'i But as to kin, when, thev fall out, they do not jnake1 up sooner than other people G. Britain attempted to govern us on a ne' y principle, and we attempt to establish a new principle, for the people of Missouri -on btccming anew state.1," The people of GB. attempted to lay a.threef penny tax on the tea consumed in the, then calories, which were not. represented in; E-i.rlia-met.t ; and we to regulate; what shall be properfy, when Missouri becomes a state, when she has no vote in Congress. The great English principle, of no tax without representation, was violated in -one' case, and the great American principle, that Jhe people are able to govern theni selves,1 will be, if the amendment-be ad ted. Every free nation has had some principle in their government,, to which more im portance was attached t; an to any. other. The English was not to beaxtd, with-r , out their consent given n Parliament ; the American is to fgrm their own state goyetnment,so that it be not inconsistent with that of the U. States. If the power in Congress to pass the restriction was ex- : pressly delegated, ?nd so'clearthat no one could dr.ubt it, in the present citxum itances cf the country, it would hot be wise or prudent to-do so ;; especiHlly, a " gainst the consent f those who live in the territory Their content would be more important to the" nation, than a re stric.tion, .which wouWl 'not make1 one slave less,-unless they; might' be starved '"in the old states." i;f-":r'. t'.-iO " ' Let me not be understood as wishing, or, intending to create,' nyf alarm as to the intentions of the people of Missouri. .1 know, nothing of them- But in examin- ing the question, e ought': not I to forget cur own history, nor the" character rf those - who settle on our frontiers.- .Your easy chimney-corner people, the timid and fearful, never'm ore to them,': They stayHvliere there is' no danger from an Indian, p.r ahy; vtild beast; ( They, have tjo desire to engage the panther or the beaK; It is the bravest, ot the brave, and boldest of the bold, who venture" thefre .
