Excerpt from A Letter to the Hon. Harrison Gray Otis, a Member of the Senate of Massachusetts, on the Present State of Our National Affairs: With Remarks Upon Mr. Pickering's Letter to the Governor of the Commonwealth

Nor Shall Izquestion the right of every member of the great federative compact to declare its own sense of measures 1nt�1est1ng to the nation at Ialge But whenever the case oecu1s that this sense should be 9 clearly and emphatically expressed, it ought surely to be predicated upon a full and 1mpa1 tlal consid eration of the whole subject-4rim under the stimulus of a one sided representation - afar less upon the impuise of conjectmes and suspicions. It 15 not tluough the medium of personal sensibility.
