Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Gouverneur Morris, Vol. 2 of 3: With Selections From His Correspondence and Miscellaneous Papers; Detailing Events in the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and in the Political History of the United States My letter to you, herewith enclosed, will give you the cre dence necessary to enable you to do the business, which it com mits to your management, and which I am persuaded you will readily undertake. Your inquiries will commence by Observing, that, as the pre sent constitution of government and of the courts established in pursuance Of it, removes the Objections heretofore made to putting the United States in possession of their frontier posts, it is natural to expect from the assurances Of his Majesty and the national good faith, that no unnecessary delays will take place. Proceed then to press a speedy performance Of the treaty, respecting that Object. Remind them of the article by which it was agreed, that negroes belonging to our citizens should not be carried away, and Of the reasonableness Of making compensation for them. Learn with precision, if possible, what they mean to do on this head. The commerce between the two countries you well under stand. You are apprized of the sentiments and feelings of the United States on the present state Of it, and you doubtless have heard, that in the late session of Congress, a very respectable number Of both houses were inclined to a discrimination Of du ties unfavorable to Britain, and that it would have taken place.
