yet closed the debate upon the first se
lion. In pursuance of the resolution adopted by the
House, but two days remain to discuss the twenty-
eight sections not approached. I submit it to gen- ^
tlernen, whether it is possible to do justice to the
e,\ainination which these numerous details, not yet | obtam^her
anticipated from any quarter, no man sooner than
i?iyself would prepare and do battle for defence.
The unanimous voice cf my people would be h; u:i
first in behalf of invigorating the maiuanf arn:
The only stnfiment which could arise in my bit’abt,
if the position of pending negotiations were such as
to leave “a hinge to hang a doubt upon” as to uit
speedy and amicable arrangement of all questions
at issue, would be to arm, and ‘*to arms”—“ mil
lions for defence, but nat one cent for tribute.”
But it is not contended that war is probable. No
gentleman has advocated this bill upon that ground.
The honorable the Secretary l\as not proposed the
increase predicated upon the slightest fears of ditii-
culty with England has been said in this debate,
giving color to the idea that an increase of the navy
is necessary in anticipation of any such event. It
appears to be generally conceded that this 13 to Ij
exclusively a permanent peace establishment. I-'o:
are there causes for apprehension ot war. Chea"
Britain will not attempt the subjugation of tho
American prowess. It has never been her policy
to declare hostilities against the brave, the powerful,
and the just, when diplomacy or corruption of hoa-
old could reach the negotiating officer and

reached, required, within so shoi"t a period. For
myself, I cannot vote understandingly upon them,
with the little information now before mo. With
out reasons more cogent than any thus far ofiercd.
my vote shall be found recorded m the negative.—
I have lidlened attentively to tl*e chairman of the
Committee on Naval Afiairs, [Mr. H iicd
the gentleman irom IMassachuseUs, [Mr. Cashing,]
who appears as fust lord of the admiralty ; and" I
respectfully deny that either, with all his ability
and ingenuity, has adduced arguments sufficient ex
culpatory of the largeness aud extravocauce of this
appropriation.
Declamation and oratorial flourishes about the
glories of tho American navy cannot induce me to
give support to a profligate expenditure of the pub
lic money. I desire reliable facts, figures, and of
ficial statements—something tangible, addressed to
reason, and not the fancy. Since the establishment
of this Government, there never existed a greater
necessity for close investigation and care in votmg
away revenue, than ihc present j yet we see honor
able members ready lo vote, without discussion or
e.\amination, every dollar asked ol them. The
haste with which it is sougth to close this debate,
and in a moment part with an amount which, un
der preceding Administrations, constituted one-third
of the whole annual expenditure, is evidence in be
half of this remark. Have gentlemen reflected up
on the responsibill.ty they assume in yieUing assent
to a demand so unwarranted? Have they looked
into the enormous Executive requisitions upon our
table, and made comparisons with those from the
same source under the latu much-vilified regime ? I
opine not. W’’hat do facts tell us ? The Sccratary
of the Navy has, in his annual report, estimated
that the necessary outlays of his depaitiueiit for the

Mr. Cha irman, is now llie timo to enlarge the
navy ?• The w'heels of Government but yesterday
stood and the machinery of the Executive was
stopped, for the want of a small pittance where
withal to proceed. A permanent debt, heretofore
uiiknown to the present generation, has been with
in a twelvemonth, fastened upon us by the parly in
office. But yesterday, the public faith was hawk
ed up and down Wall and Chesnut streets, and
humble suppliant to Briiish capitalists for favor.
Pecuniary dishonor—the first since the establish*
ment of ao American mint—has been permitted to
visit and rest upon our escutcheon. Out of money,
out of credit, embarrassed and financially disgraced,
—is this the chosen opportunity to appropriate tho
millions asked? The vicious banking system hav
ing spread Us evils through the land, our industry
is borne down by onpressious which paralyze every
sinew of production. Tho great bubble of an ex
tended credit-systern, created and upheld as it was
by the credit party, has exploded over our heads
with terrible devastation; making a wrcck of for
tune, character, and life, and sinking the iron deep
into the bosom of the wife and mother. With tho
yeornnnry and trading population, chaos is come
again ”—man looks upon his fellow as a foe. Self-
preservation and interest are now the predominant
springs of action. The biting want of maintenance
has driven the mind to expedients for a sustenance,
as it has taught a lesson of economy w'hich/o/cej
that unyielding tutor, has driven him to practise.
Men have reallized want. It is no longer an un
pleasant day dream reverie, arising upon the vision
in crossing the path of the tattered mendicant; but
has become a painful reality, from which there itf
no escape by passing on. Retrenchment and re
form is now the domestic economy of the American
people; and be assured, sir, the lime is not af^r
when it will bo their poHtical economy. Th*.. riin j
is not afar oflr--for it is now I The people of
couutry now demand, through their Representa
tives, a reduction of the public expenses. They
call upon that party, and those men, some of whom
have the fall control of the executive branch, and
others of the legislative branch, to carry out in prac
tice a general system of contraction. ' i iiey ask it
at your hands. They say, “ We will not ve.vcrt to
the oft-repeated promises and solemn pledges wAi.
which you made the air of 1840 vocal; nor will vvr,.
tell you of tho professions for our own prosperity,
w'hich, without stint and without bonds, were lav

Here it will be seen that the highest estimate for
either of the four years was in 1837—the year in
which the exploring expedition was fitted out, at an
expense of about 8500,000 ; and, notwithstanding
charge, it amounted to but 65,513,721—being §3,-
*201,858 83 less than the estimate for the present
year. But, if this large difl'orcnce exists in the es
timates, how much larger will be the difference in
the actual appropriations, if the committee and the
House pass the bdls now presented ! The largest
appropriation made for any one year of the last
Administration was in 1840, and amounted to but
$5,762,120; whereas I have shown that, with the
bills already passed, the bill before us, the estimate
of the Secretary, and the unexpended balance, there
will have been appropriated, this year, $13,470,-
174 79—an excess of 67,708,054 79, and thirteen-
twentieths of the Van Bmcn four years.
The amount demanded is equal to the whole sum
expended for both army and navy iu any one uf the
last five years. 1 cannot vote for it. I cannot give
my support, humble and ineflcienl as it may be, to
this rapid towards the accumulation of a
public debt, from which it will be impo^'sible to re
cover. I cannot give my support to the rearing, in
this home of simple republicanism, a powerful and
splendid navy, with all its paraphernalia of pomp
and tyranny. I could not return to an honest and
truly Democratic constituency, after having aided
in a system of profligate sijuandering; especiallv

But of this, no matter. Our own folly has produ
ced much of our own distress; but the Government
we look, not to put money in our pockets—not to
enact laws by which idleness may get rich and la
bor bo defrauded—not to lend its aid in the re-esta
blish meiit of a cormoi'ant monopoly, which, like tht;
locusls of -Egypt, will overshadov/ the land with i;,:
pestilential progeny; wo look to it to coutract i*. .
power, to reduce its expenses, and to cleanse it;
abuses. These are of the thousand reforms so loud
ly promised us; aud having given you the power—■
the full and absolute control of the law-ii>aking
