Whether I would hae voted for Hie amendment in this loose shae, if I had known it comported with thd views of the 'resident, I do not pretend tb say. 1 think 1 ooojt uol. but am willing to state because such is the truth, thst if, upon reviewing my whole votes since honored wifi a seat in this Chamber, any vctes could be found which I would wish had not bein gtvcn,lhe erroi is uioie attributable to Piy unfounded confidence in the Executive! and anxious desire lo muntain htm as far as' 1 conscieii Hourly could, than to any other pause what ever, j 1 .. I But it has been urged by ihe honorable Senator lirom Ne Hampshire; (M'r.j Hubl bard) thaL on j the 28th , of February, the i ll iinK.n of Cdramittpe on foreign Kelaf lions of the House had given notice that when this bill should be taken up he woultj move an amendment appropriating one nul iion of dollars for Jorlificationit and two millions for the Navy, and that tthis accor witii ihe views of the Executive: and the gentleman adds, the metoMers pf the, House no doubt made this tlie j subject of conversation, and that Senators would prob S 1 ! ably secure the information, and also that in ihf (ilnhe. newsoarjer of 2d March this. ... , -r r r i notice is published, and has passed into the history of the country. : J ! To all this, I answer I did rnot hear of lhi notice. If aiiy memberV With whom I associated heard; this notice,; they hever mentioned it in my presence -So far rom it, one of my colleagues of ihe;er Hodse, probably a alteiiUve as any meuer mere, Le.,rPH rre he did not hear ..any! uchn assure me he did uot hear .anjfl "cii .nrT. tice ; and, when the amendm6utj was nudee consideration, he had a cunosjty to Know, whether the President desireol the appro nrintion or not; that he conversed with a i..dleanie sittins inear him, and,! neither of them knowing, he asked another of his colleagues, then chairman of tlie. Commit tee of Ways and Means, who told him the President did wish it, fc added that he must say nothing about it. He did siy nothing about it till since this discussion com menced during the present session. With the motives fur this request to conceal I am not acquainted, therefore can say nothing. The other source of information (tne Globe) 1 did not apply to; I never read it was here, my duty here, and I had 6 uite as mp m i could attend tor wimou4 teadin the Globe.

Whether the money should be used at all. 2d. If used, to annlv it to anv object he pleased, connected with the land or naval service, or defence.- , i." '''' The precedents referred to do not bear out! the arguments. The first is an appro priation of 811 6,000 to pay. tne civil list. Here' the sum must all be applied to the discharge of the civil list, and nothing else. ' . The next is $70,500 for fortifications. : Although it is not said what sum should be applied to this or that fortification, yet the whole must be applied io fortifications, and : to no other object.. The-third and last pre cedent rests on the same principles. A' 1 In the case now under consideration, er ery thing is vague, indefinite, and lef to Executive discretion and alF Ihisithdut anyj communication from the President, or any estimate whatever. I venture another remark, founded on what I heard said by a gentleman of much experience, not now among us, that during the period, of z pop ular administration was the very time we must expect bad precedents to be sell a These precedents, incautiously set, when we have unbounded confidence in ihe Ex ecutive, are sure to be relied on, in after- times, by those who may wish to use l powjer without regard to the public, wel farej 1 . ! i;.-:. Tliis section, if adopted, wouldln after times have furnished a precedent, by wiiiqh any grant of the public money ". might be made, to be used at Executive discretion. K--1 pow put it to gentlemen with whom, on former occasions, I had generally acted, to say, whether, if such a grant had been proposed during the late Administration, a singly man of them would have voted for it? No. . It would have been said j this ' money would be drawn land used, $o tor the public interest, but in jobs, to control and regulate public opinion. Upon this matter, for one, I am perfect- Iy satisfied that I, and those who toted with me, were right in not agreeing to this amendment : but the matter did not end with the vote' 'of tire Senate; the bill did npt necessarily fall thereby. Let ua pursue the subject, and see when, how, and where; the bill was finally lost. The Senate returned the bill to the House accompanied by a message, inform ing them that the Senate adhered to their disagreement to the amendment as to these three millions. Upon receiving this roes- sage, it was competent to the House to hare receded from their amendment., and then the bill would have passed appropriating the-$8G9.000 proposed by the Senate ; but, instead of that,; they took a vote, and de termined they teould not recede. (House journal, page 518.) After this (page 519) a motion was made that the House do! a conference on the disagreeing ' votes. This motion was agreed tb, and a commit tee of three appointed, and a message sent to the Senate, asking it to appoint a com mittee tb confer on the subject. (This -Innra.l - 236 , Ag gQOn ag i was ttcejrC(j the Seriate agreed to the conference, and appointed a committee on their part, (pace 237.) n the course of a short time, the committee on the part of the Senate return ed, and reported that the conferees had a- Vi greed to recommend to their respective :v jjouses.las aubstitute for the $3,000,000, - an appropriaiion ot three hundred thousand x Hollars tor arming, the fortifications, and an I Additional appropriation of jive famdred J thousand dollars for the rephr)jri eqnjpJi inent of ships of war.
