Sinopsis
Excerpt from Speech of Mr. Rives, of Virginia, on the Mission to Panama: Delivered in the House of Representatives of the United States, April 6, 1826
Although I cannot suppose, therefore, that this objection will be seriously insisted on, yet, one of a similar character has been earn estly pressed by the' gentleman from Massachusetts, (mr. Webster) who addressed the Committee two days ago. He contended, that the amendment of the gentleman from Delaware was an irregular interference with the Executive authority, in attempting to give ln structwns to our Ministers. Sir, the amendment seeks to give no instructions. It is simply an expressio'n ofthe opinion of this House respectingcertain objects supposed to be contemplated by the mi's Alon to Panama. What, sir, is the cased/the President asks of us an appropriation of money, to carry into effect a measure admitted to be novel and unprecedented 1n its character, and, for the purposeof recommending it to our favour, he states Various objects, which he (1m to be of high interest to the nation, proposed to be attained bylit. We consider some of these objects to be ine-xpedient, and dangerous to the peace of the country, while others among them may be of such a character as to justify the adoption of the measure. In granting the funds, therefore, necessary for carrying the measure into effect, we undertake to declare our Opinion, that, in its execution, it ought not to be extended to those objects which we have thus de, cided to be incompatible with the interests of the nation. Now, sir.
