Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Debate in the Senate, on the Nomination of Martin Van Buren, to Be Minister of the United States to Great Britain
Mr. President, I mean to resist the confirmation of Mr. Van Buren's appointment, exclusive ly on the ground that, in his instructions to Mr. Mclane, on the subject of the colonial trade, he has violated the honor of the nation, has wounded its high and elevated character, has evinced a disregard to the interests of the American People - nay, has insulted that people in the person of their government, has attempted to promote the objects of a party amongst us, and has disclosed a total ignorance of the proper principles and feelings which should adorn the diplomatist. For proof of these assertions I mean to rely exclusively on his own words, deliberately embodied in a state paper, and on those to which he has himself alluded, and found amongst the archives of the Department of which he was then the head.
