Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States: With an Appendix, Containing Important State Papers and Public Documents, and All the Laws of a Public Nature With a Copious Index; Eleventh Congress, First and Second Sessions; Comprising the Period From May 22, 1809 to May 1, 1810, Inclusive One word as to all the talk about war as there is no motion for it, the fair presumption is, that there are not many in the House for it. Then it may fairly be considered that all these big war words, only mean to advise a course which, it is known, will not be adopted. The true time to try courage is the minute of danger. So the true time to try a war speech is to seal it with a war vote; when that vote will ive a majority, no doubt can be entertained but t at all the gen tlemen who have favored the House with a war speech wouldtseal it with such a vote, and that they would take an active partin carrying on the war. But a vote, when it is known that the mea sure will not obtain, is nothing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
