I know you, gentlemen ; arid 1 know that there is not one of you here who would countenance such an act. 1 know it would not be more ab- horrent to me than it would be to you. But when you see that these things will follow in the course of that great host which you led on in political warfare, and that they will act* as they suppose, upon your own lessons and instructions, though, perhaps, misin- terpreted, and do the mischief that you would .~corn ; that they will do the mischief that may be f...atal to the peace of their country ; that one hand may hold the brand that burns down the temple ; when you know that there is such a danger as that upon you, a danger that you cannot suppress, does it not show j'ou the necessity of a more temperate and moderate course on this subject? Imitate the action of our fathers. You often appeal to the fathers, and it is a sacred appeal that ought to go to every heart. You appeal to the lathers : from 1790 down to lb35, for forty-live long years, did our fathers ever breathe out dissension or agitation in this land on this subject?
