Mr. Adams declared that from 1803 '4
to n.c adj xirnment of the Hartford Conven
tion, the federalist* o( Massachusetts It.id
Conie-ntdated a dissolution of the union, .iiul
that in 1803 they had gone m> far nstodt'MR
n itr and coiiler with a military leader. Mr.
P' ? H.d several other leading federalist*
g;i. <? in unequivocal denial t'- these far'*.
Governor Piuiner of New Hampshire now
po.nc< out and vi*t.iin* the ch irge of Mr.
Ada ns, declaring that the project wa> delib
eratelv cinvatied, nnd * Hut Mr. Hamilton
wa* tlie leader fixed Moon, that he hid
agreed to attend a meeting in Huston in the
put mm of 1801, which w:i>ftustrated l?y his
drsth, At that time Mr. I'tumer h<mse'.f
?wan In favor of a di*solutioi--hut when the
project was revived in 1H08 he was o;>pos< d
to it. As to the personal interests <1 the
parties to thiscontroversy, we ar?-entirely in
different. We believe tlirm b >th to a cer
tain extent. We believe with Mr Otis ,md
hi? compurgator*, ihut M . Adams was a
rencgado and an informer, and with Mr.
Ad tins and his state*' evidenee, we believe
that the project of disunion was for ten year*
the Ir- ding purpose of the New-England
federalists, and wc believe further that they
never will acquiesce in the continuance of the
union, longer than the neutral novernment is
subservient to Ne*v-England interests.?
Th* n< (piisition of Louisiana endangered the
New-England supremacy, and the datn-er
was thought sufficient tn authorize ? disunion
The enbargo interfered with New-England
commerce, and that was thought sufficient.
The war pressed heavily upon N?iw-Eng
land and that thought *nflii irnt, and we
have no doubt that a moment'* equiponder
ant of southern interests in tftr national
U vermnent, vill be again thr tight sufflc'em
to justify a disunion. The "south mu*t be
kept down" it their motto. The settled
policy of the government must be to foster
north rn interests. The offictrt <4 the gov
ernment are a minor consideration. They
oare not how the honor* are divided, but If
they ean*t win by the odd trick, they will
throw up the ca^s. Upon the whole in re
gard to thie controversy, the parties will suf
fer ana iht nation l>e benefited. '* When

tion was adopted * iz on tht- 25th March,
1828, a lull had been reported by the Na
v;d Committee ?f the House of Uepiemula
tive*, authorising the President to prepare
a d *cnd ui iu exploring cxpcd.tion, and
appropriating ^50,000 tor that object This
bill, for some cause unknown to your Com
mittee, not having been acted on hv the
House, the resolution above mentioned was
proposed, and adopted, a day or two only be
fore the close of the H?*?si<itit but it was not
sent t'? the Sen ite, nor presented to the
President for hi* approbation.
" l*he I tilure of the bill which h id been
introduced for the express purpose of giv
ing the sanction of the legislature to an ex
pedition (justly considered to imolve high
consideration* of public policy) obviously put
at. end lor that session, at least, to the whole
scheme, nor will any one pretend, that a
simple resolution adopted by one branch ? l
the Legislature, could give a lawful sanction
to any nhlce.t depending ?>n till lc?rifc'alive
will, much less that It could justifv the use
of the public money for carrying It intoeffcct.
The 7th section ?>f the 1st art. of the Con
stitution is perfectly explicit on tins sufijcj t
and requites the same sanctions toevciy]
"order, resoluti'ai.or vote" <>t the t*o Hou
se*, which are requisite to give validity to
the most imp >n?nt I iws. In both cases
they must be agreed toby the Senate, and
I! use of Kcprt-sviitativev be presented to
tin* President of tin: United States, and be
approved of by him, before they can take
chect. The onty known exception to this
rub*, is in f ivor of ordein or resolutions which
concern the seprrate action of each House,
and which, like the rules of its own proceed
ing, tlo not require the sanction . / i?%e other.
But, when, as in the ease before us, the
question waa one in\o|ving dclic.ite and In
tere ting consideration ol national policy, re
quiring large expenditures of money, it is
too ot>\ ious to admit of argument, rir to need
illustration, that such a lesohition could have
have no binding force or efluacy whatever.
The Committee will not enlarge on the im
' nortance of pr?*crv?>g to each branch ?-f the
; National Legislature, as well us to the Kx
. ecutive, all the powers confii red l>y the Con
? stitution, in order to enable them to serve as
checks upon < ach other. They know of no
I practice that would be more mischcvioua in
Its effects than that either branch of Con
gress should be induced to avoid t hi delay
ami difficulty of pausing Imws on impMtant
subjects by substituting the resolution* of
one House} a practice that would become
extremely dangerous, if such resolutions
should fver come to be considered, ?>s affor

Pou-v^f.ti u.iNiliuries to the stukunent rf this
desirable end, arc lobe found in<he regula
tions provided by the wisdom of Congress
for the specific appropriation of public mo
ney, and the prompt accountability of public
umi era.
With regard to a proper selection of the>
subjtvtspf impost, with a view to revenue, it
would seem to me that the spirit of rqoity,
caution, and . o.nprotnise, in which the Con.*
ktitution wut formed, requires that the great
inu re-ts-'f agriculture,c* mmercc and mantv*
fai lures mould tie equally favored} and that,
perhaps, the only exception to this rule,
should consist in theneculiar encouragement
of any products of either of them, that may
bc found essential to our national indepen
dence.
Internal improvement, and the diffusion
of knowledge, so far as they cun be prnmot
cd by the constitutional acts of the federut
government, areot high importance.
Considering standing armies us dangerous
to free governments in time of peace, 1
shall not seek to enlarge t*ut present estab
lishment, nor disregard that salutary lesson
of |Killtical experience which teacnes that
the military sh< uld be held subordinate to
the ci? il power. The gradual increase of
? oirnuxy, whose flag hu? displayed in dis
tant climes, our skill in navigation, and our
fame inartosithe preservation of our "foils,
i arsenals, awl dnckynrdst and the introduc
tion of progressive improvements in the dis
cipline and science of bo?h brunches ot our
military *ervice, are so plainly preserilied
by prudence, that I should be excustd for
omitting their mention, sooner than for en
larging on theit impoitnnce. Hut the liul
waik of our defence is the national militia
which, in the nreaent state ?f our intelli
