of the unfinished work. Some of the
works under the system, are of such a |
character ns will not hold out any kind ofj
inducement to finish the snmc, whilst ,
others are far different. The Madison

The right of petition we consider, in
the first place, too sacred to be subjected
to the influence of the opinion of the day
I as to (be object which may be embraced
by anv genuine petition, couched in respectful
language, addressed to Congress.
As to the right of a M -ruber of Con.
gross to present every such petition transmitted
to biin, we conceive this right to
O / # I
bo undeniable. I
The right of e:'her II..use of C ?ng.to
entertain such a petition, or to refuse
to entertain it. after a knowledge of its
contents, wc conceive to be equally unquestionably.
Wit, regard to the duly of a Member
uH'ongivsn to present, or to decline presenting,
a petition, (genuine and respectful
;tt its terms,) we consider thai a queslion
within the breast of each individual
Member, acting upon his oath and upon
his responsibility to hi* constituents. .j
We do notf*therefore, the reader- w'll
perceive, agree with Mr. Adams, in his
opinion of the obligation of a R-qirdsentulive
in this particular. , Wo would pot,
in his place, (with our views of the subject.)

has produced such a so?*niion in ConI

| or confidently believed,.to he against the
; pence and .dignity of the Government,
or the welfare of the People. v
Acting upon n principle.opposed to this
view of the subject, Mr. Adam* I a* considered
