Fton to that subject, and 1o disregard alte

Wus dis harged his cuty ¢ Where 1 one ol
s constivuents | snouid excrcise a judiciary

honowrable or otherwise, 18 immaterial, «s
respgets the impression which his speech of
crromrs it sufivred 1o escupe currection might
make up the minds of the publick in relation
to ?q Nuvy. The publick will judge unon
thutqoesuon from fucts ; and it is my pui
pose. to ufford them an opporinnity of so
jutﬁlng.
r.. Randolph stites that the estimate for
the pay anda subsistence ol the marine corps
for the year 1809, wus $160,000. True that
was ibe sum stated in the estimute prepared,
in the fall of the year 1808, and in which it
wus contemplated to employ on bourd of ship
only 159 marines of the whole corps ; but
what says the estimate of the 10th February,
1809, the esimate upon which Congress uc
wd ! And what suys the appropriation lew ol
the year 18097 Why, gentiemen, we find
that this estimate calls for and that the law
apbropriztes, sl34,647———which is übout
auxo less thun tne sumn stated by the Hon,
ey > )
Did Mr. Rendolph k¥now of the estimate
ot 10th Feb. 1809 ¢ Did he ever read the ape
propiaation law of the year 1809 7 I should
think so from bis having stated that the ex
proses of the year 1609 approuched within
one wiilion of dolluars of the expenses of the
year 1800=—tor the estimate of 10th February
does approwch within one million of the ex
pense of the yeur 1800, lle surely got this
liormatton from that estimate.~=As to the
estinate preparcd in the full ef 1800, the @
mount is two millions end u hulf less thon
the estimate for the year 1800, Would it be
uncharituble thence o inler that Mr. R. bad
bouth ol these estimutes before him 7 1t he
hidy, he must have known that the estimate
prepared in the year 1808, wus altogether
disregarded by Congress ; wnd lhe ought
thercfore never to huve cuoted from ite—or
did he quote from the one or the otheras
suited bis special views ?
Myr. Rindolph states the estimate price of
pork in the year 1800 at § l4=it wus 18, or
54 a burrel move than, he states. He suys
that 1n the year 1809 beel wus rated at 14
nd pork at B lB~here again he errs=—the
prices were 15 ond s2o==upon the estimated
price of provisions for the Navy, he liys
sreat stress as affectuny the amount of “ fay
rad subsisten e of the marine corps,” when
i fuct it has no relution to the subject—ma
rines en shore are not fed out of the provision
provided for shifi usc~athey are supplied with
thetr rations by contracts at the posts where
they are stationed. Can Mr. Randolph be so
unpardonably ignorant as not to know this ?
he surely was Chairman of the Commniiitee
of Ways and Means tong enough to wcquire
the most minute information upon this and
every other subject involving appropriations.
From his observations you would infer that
Rour was the most “ marerial article” of pro
visions used in our Navy. He dwells upon
the estimated price being in the year 1800,
52 per. barrel more than in the year 1809. a
ffects great surprise that notwithstanding this
~difference in price, the amount for pay and
subsistence of the marine corps should
be (as he says ) more—Now, gentlemen, the
“amount required for flour is considerable less
than the amount required for any other arti
cle of provisions used in our navy~butter,
~peas, and molusses only excepted ; and com
pared to the amount :equired for beel; pork,
or spirits it syrely would “ not be worth bring
'ng into account,” for when the whole a=ount
required in one year for flour is only 815,400
caleulated at B 8 the barrel ; the amount re
' uired for beef is 93,000 ; for pork 106,000 ;
lor spirits 135,000 ; (‘see estimate of 10th
~ February, 1809, )
~ Mr. Randolph says that every cannon and
’ implement of war now belonging 1o the navy
i was purchased under (Mr. Adams’s) the old
POLITICAL MISCFLLANY.
