as gentlemen ma<!c it so by their serious
opposition. Did tb? y permit the commit- j
infiii of the memorial, as a matter f I
course, no notice \roiild Le takeu of it
out uf doors; it could' never be blown up
into n derision of the question, respecting
?h' discouragement of the African'

an apprehension, that the general government
were about to abolish Slavery in alt
the Hniie*; surh tilings arc not content'pla.eiJ
by any gentleman; but, to appear- j
a ce, they decide the question morei

case, if it was determined uu its real mc-,

posed to vote fur the commitment of a
petition, without any intention of sup,

' MR. MADISON.
The debate has taken a serious tarn,
and it wail be owing to this alone if an
alarm is created; for bad the memorial j
been treats i in the usual way, it would
hare been considered as a matter ui course,
< and a report might have been made, so as
to hare given general satisfaction.
If there was the slightest tendency by
! the commitment to break in upon the Con'stiiutton,
he would object to it; but he
1 did not see upon ttbal ground such an
J erent was to be apprefteoded. The pe'i|
lion prayed in general terms, for the interference
of Congress, so fur as they
pre constitutionally authotized; bitticttt
its prayer w??, 4n some degree, mmconstitutUmaJf
it n.ight be committed, as vn?
the ease on Mr. Churchman's* petition,
one part of which waa supposed to apply
f?r an unconstitutional Interference by the
General Government.
Huch were the riewa of James Madison
in the rig ir of judgment, and when he
was the leader in the House of the Southern
Republican party. In logical lucidity,

{rear 1825?-thalis too .rceiit in (he reflection
of nil to require any allusioc to it
as one of warning nod admonition. That

the very verge of extreme t!a? ger, none

so blind as not to perceive or destitute of
candor as not to admit.
It is true that our principal staple sells
high in the foreign markets, and while
this is the case a re-action may not be at
hand as soon as under other circumstances
wouid take place. lint the measure of
our exports is generally the measure of
our imports# If we have a great amount j
against u hich to draw in foreign countries,
we also anticipate this advantage by ma-J
king the debtor hula:.re or more than ba j
lance the creditor side of the account..
Our Spring importations will therefore be.
very large, and if by any unforeseen conlinifi
