1824 – Oct. 10th
Constitutional Code. V.S.
Two heads remaining in relation to upon which nothing can be said
by an other person than a citizen of old standing, well acquainted
with the proceedings of Congress. These othe are
1. Of the bills measures which having been rejected by the Senate
have never again been brought forward. in The tendency
to produce effects good and bad.
2. In the case of those to which amendments were
applied, the like Statements in relation to the effects
of those several amendments.
In vain would it be said this is a wide field
of inquiry thus marked out – too wide to be entered upon –
the probable profit does it not promise to be an equivalent
for the trouble?
The answer is – Yes – a to this effect an enquiry of this
sort is an indispensable condition on the part of every
one whom against the objections here brought for
view shall have undertaken a defence. Why?
because the delay and the expence are evils
sensible by incontrovertible: to controvert them
they require something at any rate on the other
five: evil if not in a sensible shape, at least
in the shape of a tendency, at any rate.
