SIR, gentlemen appear to me to forget that they stand on American soil;that they are not in the British House of Commons, but in the chamber ofthe House of Representatives of the United States; that we have nothingto do with the affairs of Europe, the partition of territory andsovereignty there, except so far as these things affect the interests ofour own country. Gentlemen transform themselves into the Burkes, Chathams, and Pitts of another country, and, forgetting, from honestzeal, the intere...sts of America, engage with European sensibility in thediscussion of European interests. If gentlemen ask me whether I do notview with regret and horror the concentration of such vast power in thehands of Bonaparte, I reply that I do. I regret to see the Emperor ofChina holding such immense sway over the fortunes of millions of ourspecies. I regret to see Great Britain possessing so uncontrolled acommand over all the waters of the globe. If I had the ability todistribute among the nations of Europe their several portions of powerand of sovereignty, I would say that Holland should be resuscitated andgiven the weight she enjoyed in the days of her De Witts.
