On any other fuppofi- tion it is inexplicable. I am alarmed, Sir, at this perilous flate of things, I cannot re- prefs my fufpicions ; or forbear thus to exhibit to you the grounds on which they reft. The people are advifed to repofe implicit confidence in the National Government : in that unbounded confi- dence lies our danger. Armed with that confidence, the Execu- tive may procure the adoption of meafures which may overwhelm us with ruin, as furely as if he had an army at his heels. By falfe... policy, or by inordinate fears, our country may be betrayed and fubjugated to France, as furely as by corruption. I tru ft, Sir, that no one who knows me will charge it to vanity when I fay, that I have fome knowledge of publick men and of publick affairs : and on that knowledge, and with folemnity, I declare to you, that I have no confidence in the wifdom or corre&nefs of our publick meaf- ures : that our country is in imminent danger : that it is effential ° to the publick fafety that the blind confidence in our Pviilers ftiould ceafe ; that the State Legiflatures ftiould know the facts and rea- fons on which important general laws are founded ; and efpecially that thofe Stales whofe farms are on the ocean, and wbojk harvejls are 12 gathered in every fea, Jhould immediately and fertoujly conjider hoiv to preferve them.
