over the subject.
There is another point (aid Mr.
t-wtttrh ttytHlt-aexplanatiiin.
There i.Ci'rtai!i!y 8i'me Jiope that tlie
message at the opening uTific se'ssiTrit
may be favorably --received in France.
The- President haa. '..in it expressly
L. tary-of jhe Treasj theexp nnatimt oftsredby Mr.
tor its action, drew a bill lor the pay
ment of the first instalment, before the
appropriation was roaJe, and before,
. of course, it coul I possibly be paid.
A protest nec essarily followed, accoin
paniud with roach irritation on both
side; ' "V,': . ,; '- ;;':
With these ohstacVa, created by
our own acts, the treaty was submit
ted to the Chambers. Every effort
was - made to obtain the appropriation.
The Minister displayed uncommon
i?al and abilities in -defence of the
treatvt but, - in - vain, -under- these
multiplied difficulties. The bill was
" rejected ty a niajofity ofeiglit vote's
a -number so sinll, in so large a body,
, that it may be fairly presumed, with
out any violence, that, had not Mr,
Hives' letter been published, and the
drait drawn before the appropriation
was made, the majority would have
been on tin other sale, and all the un
happy train of consequences which
have , since followed would hare been
prevented, Sa earnest was the
French Ministry In . their efforts to
carry the bill, that their defeat dis
solved the Adiiiini$trati6h.T"
" With their facta - before us, who
can doubt where the responsibility
' rests? We had thrown the itnpedi-
- , ment inthwayi we who bad been
so urgent to obtain the treaty, and we
who were to profit by its execution.
It matters not, in the view in which I
am considering tlie question, to what
how much less shall we be able, with
the vast increase of power and patron
age which a war must confer on that
department? In a sound rendition of

thoughtlessness it cannot shift the
responsibility. - ..:'
Let us now said Mr. C. ) proceed
to the next stage of this most unfor
tunate affair. .
: twj tiver the intervening period
' I cwnc to the opening of tlie ntxt
session of Congress. In what manner
does lhrres'rdentj"3n hi message at
the opening of the session,' notice the
"'""fail or a1 -of ihe-French Chambers -Ut
mate the appropriation? Knowing,
a he must, now much the acts to
which i have referred had contributed
to the defeat of the bill, and that his
administration was responsible: for
thoie acls,..it, was.lnataral to expect
that he would hare noticed the fate
of the bill in the calmest and most
rent! manner that he would have
done full justice to the zeal aud fideli
ty of the French Executive in its en
deavor to obtain its passage, and would
hare thrown himself, with confidence,
on the justice and the honor of the
French nation for the fulfilm ntofthe
treaty. In a word, that he would have
done all in hi power to strengthen
the Executive Government in France
in their future efforts to obtain the
appropriation, and carefully avoid
every thing that might interpose ad
ditional obstacles. , Instead of taking
this calm , and considerate course, so
well calculated to secure the, fulfil
ment of the treaty, and in befitting
the dignity and justice of our Govern-

Liv "iirgteirr hicliffbTdT-stime hope;
at least, that it may prove to be satis
factory to the French Gicrnnii!it.
Why. then, send ih:s message at tins
time? Why reconimeni preparation
and non intercourse till we have heard
how the message has been received in
France? Suppose its reception should
be favorable,-' in the absence of a re
presentative of our Government nt the
French court, nothing could be done
till the mtaewlH(3j;c hjyeTjust
received shall have passed the Atlan
tic and reached I'uris. ll;w' unfor

What -jvew -entaneleinant ..atiiL.4ff.
ficuttics would bj . caused in tlie re
lations of the, two countries! Why
all this? Who can explain? Will
any friend of the Administration r'ne
in li's plare and tell u what is intend
ed?
I might ask (uU Mr. Al.) for like
exp'anat'ion, why our Charge was re
called from Paris at the time he was?
Why not wait until the annual me
sage was received i vvli im have we
there -to-- represent us on its reception,
to explain anv-diflicnltr vkhich tniglit
remain to be explained? All these
things may have a satisfactory explana;
tion. I cannot, howevvr, perceive it.
There may- be some deep mjstery- in
thehole unaV-,--w hieh44Mw 4Mly who
are initiated ran underUnd.
I fear, f'said Mr. C.) .that with the
inftssage which vve have this day -sv-
ceiuL.lhe Aa11hopej)fpreervinj4he
This compels me in look forward.
The first thing that strikes we, in
casting my eye to the, future,) is the
utter iuiptis.aiiir mat war, annum
there unfoi tunatel f be one, can have
'laAnnflraUl
g into war totrt the viiieivt,ol
frre-mtltion of ' dtdkHfc f'i'he -first
rannoti li Ua' ! oor. part would
bj( a receipt-. in full for the -whole
amount. TV "expect to obtain pav-
ment by a treaty r peace would be"
winw-twan tue. - It our Jioaoc would
beliu vol vtdin audi a termination of
tlie fontest,.the honor of France would
b equally i nvnlved iu the opposi t e.
The strurile then would be, who
should hold out longest in this tin
protilahle, and, were it .not- for the
seriousness of the occasioni rldiculous
contest. To determine this point, We
must inquire which can inflict in the
other the greater .injury, and to which
the war must be must expensive. To
both a ready answer may be given.
Tlie capacity of France to inflict in
jury upon us is ten times greater than
ours to inflict injuries on her; while'
the cost of the war, in proportion to
her means wovld be in " nearly !the
same proportion less than ours to our
means. She has relatively a small
coin m efce to be destroyed, while we
have the largest in the world, in pro
portion to out capital and population.
Sim rjsr threaten and harass our coast,
while ner own is safe from assault.
Looking , over. the.w.hole grou nd . I do
their lull vigor, and every department
connnpd to- it proper-sphere, jve
would have nothing to fear from a war
with France, or any other "power r but
0;ir svstein is deeplr diseased, and we
-wy fear the worst in behig involved
in a war at su h a juncture.
I have 'said Mr, (.) in conclusion.
no objection to tlie message atid docu
ments gifg to tne woniinitiee on
Foreign Relatioiif. I have great con
fidence in tlie Committee, and have
no doubt that they will discharge their
duty to the Senate and to the country
with prudence nnd wisdom, ut the
ptvsont trying juncture. But let me
surest a caution--against-the hasty
adoption of "the recommendations of
the iness ige. lo adopt them, would
be to hungc for the 'worse the position
which c now occupy in this unfor
tunate controversy, and lead, I fearr
directly to war. We are told that a
French fleet has been sent to the
West Indies, which has been consider-
i:d as a menace, with the intention of
frightening us into hasty measures.
The French Government itelf has
Maitl. in its official journal, that it acts
on the defensive, and that there is no
legitimate cause of war between the
two countries. We would not be
justified, with these .declarations, con
neetetl wttlr tlw! circuotstaneeS'oLtho
case, were we to regard the sending
tlie fli!i t r.sa menace. We must not
forget that we, in this controversy,
ary as my colleague said the other
day - in debate, the plavtiffaj and
France the defendant. If there must
bo ; war, it must come from us, not
France-'- She has neither motive, nor
cause to .make war. As we, then.
that r ram e, at'er wuat nss passeu,
should prepare for the worst; and such
.preparation. ought fairly to be con
sidered, not as a menace, but as a pre
cautionary measure resulting from our

perfectly well known at he N'.iilli, that the

are of (he stamp of thtw, ho "lint during
the war." and ' never let po their holdj"
and that they are men neither to he rnaxed

ihev will act prudent'y and kindly on th'
subject orc'avery: hut, that Ihev will erase

the failure of the Fortification Bill. He
asserted tliatit was not owing tn any
fault of the Senate? nor to any fault
in the House. It was to the Chair
man of the Committee of Foreign Af

was to his dereliction nt duty. It was
owing to the Executive and to the
minions ol tlie Executive.
Mr. Wise showed in the most con
clusive manner by the votes and oro-
teticy and contradiction of Mr. Cain
breleng in the excuses he gve for nut
reporting to the House the result of
tlie conference. He showed this by
the minu tes of the House, showing the.
extraordinary fact, that while Mr.
Cainbreleng refused to make the re
