This is an union of the purse and the sword with a vengeance one, whfch even the sagacity of Patrick Henry never antipated, in this shape at least.; Let the people look to it ; or they are. lost forever.

'' hemp andVlax seed: Report of the , Committee on Agricul- ' ture on the petition .ofAnthony Dey and James Macdonaid. t I HOUSE '"tor RKPRESEIfTATIVES, , ' ' " i March, 12; l??2i L : : v, - The Committee on Agriculture to which was referred the petition of Anthony Dey and Jim es Macdonaid, Report : The pe tition alleges, that the said Macdomld, at the expense of the said Dey, has invented and constructed a new and useful machine for .breaking and cleaning of hemp and flax, in an unrotte state, so that the said Dey has discovered the means bv which hrmp and flax, after beinp cleaned in an Unrotted state in their machine, may be . ' 1.1 1 . Dieacnen oy a process nunerto unknown ; that they believe their method of dressing hemp and flax to be of very ereat impor tance to the agricultural interest of the the country, and, therefore, sk an'exten sion of thcexctuslve rieht to make, con- struct.'use, and vend to others to be used, the said invention and discovery. From the evidence adduced by the pe titioners? it appears, that they have in- j vented a machine for breaking and clean ing ' hemp and flax, - in an unrotted state. which is different in its principles & con struction from any machine that ever has been used for that purpose, and that the said ' Dey has also discovered a process, never before used, for bleaching ' hemp and flax after it has been dressed in an unrotted state. And, also, it appears by the certificates of respectable gentlemen, vho have witnessed the operation of the machine, that it will, by the power ot one horse, with the assistance of one man and three boys, separate the integument and 1 wood from the fibrous part of the hemp - - I,. j and flax plants, and clean the same, at the rate of one pound in a fraction of time over avmmute, fit for bleaching. ; . The petUioners further assure us, from the operation of one machine by horse power, with the attendance of one man and three boy s, from 1 600 to 2 000 lbs. of unrotted hemp or flax, piay be cleaned in a day, yielding from 400 to 50,0 lbs af ter it is bleached ; and that, by the addi tion of - another machine, which can be moved bv the same horse, with the addi tion of one man and one boy morei from 800 to 1000 lbs. may be cleaned at an ex pense , not exceeding : five dollars. And the committee are informed by Mr. Dey that one man can bleach 350 lbs. of hem. , or flax, after it has been cleaned by their machine, in a day, at an expence of one dollar and .seventy-five cents for the arti- 1 i l l - ii. . . . . cie wuicn ne uses in me process. . From these calculations, it appear, that any quantity f unrotted'jhemp or flax taken from the field,. where it is raised, may be broke, cleaned and bleached, at a rate less than two cents per pound,, deli vered in a bleached 'state ; and. allowing one cent per pound for the plant, as it , 'the Gulf of Mexico, between that river and comes from the field, the whole cost (ex- 4 i Cape Florida.' That the subject may be ful cept.forthe wear of the machine) in ;! ly before Congress, 1 transmit also, a copy of growing mis vaiuaoie plant, ana orraKing, ' cleaning, & bleacuirig it, will be less than six cents per pound. The Committee are not informed what the cost of hatcheling or combing it, (which is done after it is bleached; and preparing it for the manu facturer;' would be, but presume it will not exceed two cents per pound. If the information the coin mittee have received, and their calculations, are ! correct, either hemp or nx may raised, dressed, and 1 prepared for the best manufacture, at nn expense of eight cents, and not exceeding in any case ten cents, per pound. By the experiments of the petitioners.5 and others, it is found that flax, dressed and hatchelled in the ordinary way, after; it has. been dew-rotted, yields nine pounds from one hundred pounds of the plant which has been- rotted, being sixteen pounds less than is produced from one hundred pounds of unrotted flax, cleaned and blached by the method which the petitioners have discovered. But no ex periments have "jet be n made to daer ! mine the difference in the weight of the plant, before and after k is ru teu ; there j fore, it cannotnow be ascertained ho i much will be saved, in quantity, by this method of breaking arid cleaning it before it is rotted. It canuothowt ver be doubt ed, that the common process of rotting flax, especially by dew, destroys or iiir jures many of its fibre., and, of ourtii the quality, as well as the quantity, mut be, in some degree, dimini .hed. : 4 The tComntittee. have examined the machine, and'hkye seen, it operate, arid believe it dl prove . one of the mostiru portant " and ' valuable . discoveries. Tht' committee tiave, also, examined tht hemp anq n ix wiiiui ni wcu uicacuea 10 mis hew method and patchelled, ar.d find that the aiored; matter and harshness of the fibres are. removed, "and tnat the flax is renuerea verjr wnue, ana as so ti( an a hue as silkv lhis method of .bleadhine- henni and flax, it is believed, will be of great va lue toj Uuf grfjwer and manufacturer l o these" plants;., v.Vit ''ihyr&h Considering hemp and flax among the most Valuable plants which can be Culti vate u;n inis coumrj ana oeiieviisg mere is in -abundance ofs'-jl iiV every svateiin V -7.j v; . iithe..

I As the petitioners desire an extension of time, and further protection than is secured by the patent law in it V present f rm, and as it is the peculiar provinceof tne committee on the Judiciary to, report any; revision or amendment of that law Which may be necessary, your"committee recommend the adoption of the following resolution : v s ' t. i - -''' - l Resolved, That the Committee on Agrir culture be discharged from the further con sideration of the petition of Anthony Dey and jjames Macdonala; and that it be referred to the Committee on .the Judiciary. ; president's message; Message of the President of thelTni ted States to Congress, upon the subject of the Fortifications on Dau phine Island and Mobile Point. To the Senate and House of ; Representative of the United States. ; Cpngress having suspended the appropri ation, at the last session for the fortincatioh at Daupbihe Island, in consequence of a doubt wfuch was entertained 01 the propne ty of that position, the further prosecution of the work was suspended, and an order given, as intimated in ther message of the 3d of De cember, to the Koafd of Engineers and Naval Commissioners, to re-examine that part of the coast,and particularly that position, as also the position at Mobile Point, with which it is connected, and to report their opinion there on which has been done,T and which report is herewith communicated. 4 i j j Br this report, it 'aopears to be still the f opinion of the Board, inat the construction of works at both these positions is .ot great im portance to the defence of New-Orleans, and of all that portion of our Union which is con nected with, and dependant on, the Mississipi, and on the other waters which emntv into tne tormer report 01 tne Jtsoara, oemg tiax on which the work was undertaken, and. has been, in part,'executed; Approving, as I do, the opinion of the Board, I consider it my du ty to state" the reason's on which I adopted the first report, especially as they were, iu part, suggested by the occurrences of r the late war. ; . '. - ' ' The policy which induced Congress to de cide on, and provide for, the defence of the coast,' immediately after the war, was founded on the marked events of. that interesting! epoch. 'The vast body of men, which it was found necessary to call into the field, through the whole extent of ,;our 'maritime frontier, and the number who perished by exposure, with the immense expenditure of money and waste; of. property, which followed, were to . . 1 . . ' i ' At De trace a, in an. eminent aerrree, to tne ae-: fenceless condition of the 1 coast. , ( It was to mitigate these evils,, in future wars, and even tor tne mgner purpose ci prevenung war it self, that the decision was formed, to make the coast, so far as it ;might be practicable, impregnable ; arid that the measures neces sary to that great object hive been pursued with so much zeal since. ' v 1 : i V It is known that no part of our Union is more exposed to invasion, by. the numerous avenues leading to it, or more defenceless by the 'thinness of the neighboring population , or offers a greater temptation to invasion, ei ther as a permanent acquisition, or as a prize to the cupidity of grasping invaders, from the immense amount , of produce deposited , there, than. the. city of New-Orleans. It is known, also, that the "seizure of no part of 1 our Union, could atiect so deeply and vitally j the immediate interests of so many states and of so many of. our., iellow-citizens, com- prizing all that extensive territory arid riume- ; ruvu uwpiuituuii wwui arc vuihici.icu. wiui, 1 and dependant on. the Mississippi, as the sei- , zure of that city. Strong works, well p.qsted, 1 were,! therefore, deemed absolutely Thecessa- vy lur its pruiccuon. : . . , . .' ; j , It is not, however, by, the Mississippi bnly or the i waters which ''Comniujucat!e directly with, I or approach nearest to New-Orleans, thai the town is . assailable. It will be recol lected that, in the late war, the, public solicitude-was excited, not so much, by the danger which menaced it, In those directions, as by the appreht nsi- n that, while' a feint might be made there, the main force, landing either in the bay of Mobile or other waters between; that bay and the Kit-olets, would be throwri t above; the town, intne rear ox llie army, which - had been collected there 'ior its de- i fence! Fuji Confidence was entertained that; that gallant iariiiy, e4,by tJi gkllantand'aDleH chief who cbxninanded it, would repel any j attack to which it mjght be exposedin front. But had such a forc4 been thrown above the town." and a, position takenon the banks of the river,; the disadvantage to which, our ( troops would have been subjected, attacked i in ironx anurcar, asj uiey . iiugiu xiave uecn, may easily be' conceived; As their supplies; would have been cut off, they could not long have remained in th4 city, and, withdrawing from it, it musthave falien immediately into the hands of theTorcej below. In ascending the river, to attaclc the itorce above, the attack must have, been "mad to great" disadvantage, sine it must have be;eni on such ground and at such time as the e$emy preferred. These considerations show, hat defences, other than such as are immediately connected with the city, are of great importance to its safety. L An attempt to seize New-Orleans and the lower part of the Mississippi, will be made only by a great ; powr, or a combination of several powers, witn a sxrong navai ana unu force, the latter ofwHich must be brought in transports which may sail in shallow water. If the defences arouixd New-Orleans are well posted, and of sufficient strength to repel any attack which mat be made on them, the city can be assailed! on!y-,by a land force, which" must, pass in the direction above sug gested, between the lligolets and the Ray of Mobile. It becomesi therefore, an objecf of i ' . '. . . . ' ; a . . -'ii. -t . mgn importaocs to presenx sucn antouBxacie to such an attempt, as would defeat iti should it be made. Fortifications. are useful for the aetence ot posts, to prevent tne approacn to cities, and the passage of rivers; but, as 1 other purposes. Between the Riolfts and the Bay of Mo bile there is a chain rlf islands, atj the extremity-of which is Dauphine Island," which forms, with Mobile Ppint, from which it is distant about 3 1-4 miles, the entrance into the; Bay of Mobile, which leads through that part of the State of Alabama, to the towns of Mobile and Blakely. The distance between Dauphine Island and the Rigolets is 90 miles. The principal islands jbetween them are Mas sacre, Horn, Ship, and Cat Islands, nearto which there is anchorage for large ships of war. 1 ne nrst. oojecp is to peventtneiana in& of anv forces for the purposes! above stat ted, between the Rigolets and the Bay of Mobile the second, to defeat that force in case it should be landed. . When the distance from one point to the 'other is considered, it is believed that it Would be impossible to es tablish works' so near to each other as to pre vent the landing of such a force. Its defeat, therefore, should be effectually provided for, If the arrangement should be such as to make that result evident, it might b e fairly conr eluded tliat the atternpt would not be made, and thus we should accomplish,, in the best mode possible, and with the Jeast expense, the 'complete security of this iiriportant part of our Union, the great object of our system of defence for the whole. . 1. . There are some other views gf thas subje'et which, it is thought, will merit particular at tentionln deciding the pbint in question.- Not being able to establish a chain of posts, at least for the present, i along the 'whole coast, from the Rigolets to Dauphine Island, or on all the islands between them, at which point shall we begin ! Should an JtattacJc, on the city be anticipated, it cannot be doubted that an adequate force would immediately be ordered there for its defence. If the enemy should despair of making an impression on the works near the town, it may be'presumed that they would promptly decide to make an attempt in tlie mariner and in the'iine above siiggested, between the- Rigolets arid the Bay of Mobile. It Will bepbvious, that the nearer the fortification is erected to the! Rigolets with a view to this object : should it be on Cat or Ship Island, for example, the wider would the passage be left open, between that work and' the Bay of Mobile, for such an 'en terprize. The main army being dwn to; New-Orleans, would be reaay to meet suca an attempt, near the Rigolets or at any other point not distant trom: tne city. it is prooa fcle, therefore that the enemy, profiting of a tan wind, 'would maKe nis attempt at tne greatest distance compatible with his object, from that point, and at the Bay of Mobile, should there not be works, there of sufficient strength to prevent it. Should, however, Ktrono' works be erected there, such as were "siifficient. not only for . their own defence airainst anv attacK wnicn miKiit ac iuaue uu them, but- to hold a force, connected ;with that which might be drawn from the neih boring country, capable of co-operating with the force at the city, and which would doubt less be ordered to those works,' in the event of war "; it would be dangerous for the invad ing force to land any where, between :the Rkxlets'and the Bay of Mobile, and to pass towards-the ; Mississippi above tiie city, lest such a body might be tnrpwn in its rear, as to cut off its retreat. These considerations show' the great advantage of establishing, at the mouth of the Bay of Mobile, very, strong tect our countrjr and cities, against the gentry of large ships of war, iritoourbaysl arid, riy ersthey would be of little use for3the defence of JiewOrleans, since tnat city cannot oe ap proached, so near, either by the Mississippi, or in any other bisection by such vessels,: fpr tnem to maKe . au aiiaca. on iu , x mv uwi, within our limits west of Florida, Which has been acquired since these works were decid- ea on ana conunenceu, mere a y. v w river, into which large . ships of w tjp can en- ter.
