VI. 周五- H.RU.S. 在阅读《og体育官网》时，我 found my motion yesterday made to insert on the Journal my answer to the gag resolution— I moved to amend the journal by inserting that when my name was called I rose, 和 said I hold the resolution to be a violation of the Constitution of the United States, of the right of petition of my Constituents 和 of the 人 of the United States, 和 of my right to 作为国会议员的言论自由 恩 asked if my motion was debatable; I said I hoped it was, 和 that the house would allow me to debate it— 恩 moved to lay my motion on the table— I asked for the yeas 和 nays, but they were refused 和 the motion was laid on the table—but my answer was entered 《og体育官网》 巴顿 来了 charged 与 a speech to prevent this entry up《og体育官网》 恩’s motion to lay mine on the table balked him; 和 I bantered him on his Resolution, till he said that if the question ever came to the issue of War, the Southern people would march into New-Engl和 和 conquer it— I said, I had no doubt they would if they could, 和 that it was what they were now struggling for 与 all their might— I told him that I entered my Resolution on the Journal because I meant his name should go down to posterity, damned to everlasting fame— He forced a smile 和 said we should then go down together— I replied precisely—side by side—that was what I intended— So conscious was he of the odious character of his Resolution that he dared not resect these remarks—but he dared not object to 恩’s motion to lay mine on the table; which precisely answered my purpose of having my answer entered upon the Journal. He soon after rose from his seat 和 left the House.-来自 Committees were then called for, which occupied more than an hour— I moved from the Committee of Manufactures that the Report of the Committee made at the last Winter’s Session should be recommitted, which 被命令.— Private business taken up— Committee of the whole— 瑞米伦贝格 和 加兰 先后在椅子上 Thirty or forty Bills from the Committee of claims, passed through the Committee 和 the House 与out opposition— I had a long conversation 与 Mr 库欣 他的演讲的某些部分 710og体育平台公众的收集和保管 Revenue-particularly在 华盛顿的 《og体育平台》和我的三篇论文 on neutrality in April 1793— I was called out to attend a meeting of the Massachusetts Delegation to consult upon what can be done for Mr 弗莱彻-波士顿阿特拉斯已经出现了暴力 against him for his disavowal of parts of his Speech in Faneuil Hall, as 在那篇论文中有报道.
