So far, therefore, was the bill from being objectionable, that it. On the contrary, promoted, in the most effectual way, the chief object which the honourable gentlemau had at heart. The honourable gentleman had, in ths first stage of the debate, acted honourably, and it was earnestly to be hoped that he would follow up that conduct by acting con- sistently. But was it consistent with that vigilance and with that spirit of precaution, which the honourable gentleman had so t strenuously recommen...ded to the house and to the country, first, to let us suffer the invasion to take place, and then proceed to suspend the Habeas Corpus act ? In other words, we were to be uncommonly vigilant and cautious when the enemy had once ob- tained a footing in the country ; and at the moment when we were threatened with the most imminent peri!, we were only then to think of securing ourselves against the dangerous, and perhaps, fatal activity of domestic traitors. But it was urged, that notorious proofs ought to be furnished to induce the house to give their assent to the present measure.
