EMBARGO ACT OF 1807 – DEANE, E. An Oration Pronounced at Plympton. February 23, 1809. On the Present Alarming Situation to which the United States are Reduced. Dedham: H. Mann, February 1811.Opposing Jefferson's Embargo. A heated address inveighing against the economic distress inflicted by Jefferson's blanket embargo against exports to the belligerent European powers. "Will you sleep in peace, while the shackles are manufacturing, and power preparing to slip them on? — Will you gratify a lawless band of plunderers—an invidious race of European Despots? No; then unbar your potts—Stand your ground defend your principles, and give universal freedom to commerce." Shortly after Deane delivered this impassioned address, Congress repealed the Embargo on 1 March 1809, replacing it with the Non-Intercourse Act. Sabin 19053 (identifying one copy at Harvard).16mo (200 x 136mm). (Small mild dampstain on title). Stitched and sewn as issued.
