Ucbati* o” Fortijtciitioha.
( co sc Li/nun.)
Mr. Bi.odnt said that gentlemen had
predicated their arguments on a supposition
that the sum of 750-000 dollars was the
whole sum intended to he applied for tin
purposes of defence. This was not the
case ; many millions had been heretofore
appropriated for fbrtieatio'nsl It was
known that cannon and other implements
necessary for fortifications had been paid
for and conveyed to the places where for
tifications were to be erected. The pro
posed sum was only intended to defrav the
expenses of the naked walls. The system I
of fortification embraced gun-boats also.
The sum of four millions might lie called j
for, but not for this aperies of fonif:c?.t'-'ns
alone. The gun-boats intended to form u
pai t of the system of defence would cost,
u* build and employ them, 2,5<Vo.('i)Q b li
lacs. The Secretary of \Y ;r had g>ven
to the committee a general statement of
what sums of money might be - erjuired for
fortifications, within certain distances, to

Mr. B. added, that when they considered
that the appropriations of last year w**re
applie d, as the President had told them, to
New-York and Ncw-()rleans, the sum con
templated to erect the bit re walls of forti
fication v.*as sufficient to satisfy the gentle
men themselves. He udnPtu-d that can
non had been already provided, a.nt tins
was but a part of the system; the other
part of the system, to wit, gun boats, would
rccu.it a mu h larger sum to prepare them
and support them in svr* ice inrsix months.
Mr. Alston trusted the committee
were no* fully satisfied that they v»eic not
r< ady to tilt the blank. lie wished the
House to proceed as they had Heretofore
done, and not fill the iBank til! the bill sr..s
reported, when they would have documents
be fere them, ntid be much better able to
judge oi the proper sunt. If gentlemen
d a -red with tnc Secretary of War with re
ft ce io the sum, tin v could then be better
all. t > decile. Were they to fill the blank
now 'hey would oniv have to go over the
same grounds a;;tin when the bill was
bn t» -;ht in.
Mr. 1 ho'.ias said, that during a former
session, a committee reported a blank re
solution fns fortifications, as iiad been done
in this case. The committee of the whole
precipitately filled the blank wuh a cer
tain sum, althou ;h ite -Yards, on more
mature consideration a much larger ap
propriation was made. They had heard
much of the proper-sum : if he were sa
tisfied that the blank would bu filled with
an adequate rum, Itewouid have no objec
tion to do it at this time ; but if otherwise,
he should be oppo t d to it, because the ap
propriation for this object would shew
whether they were prepared to meet the
event of war or not.
i*'h. \.,ouk II»Midi mat me committee
would not agree to fill the blank at this
time, or till they got further information.
He v.ul.ed tone a part icular statement
of the expence of each particular part
of the System. Perhaps tiie amount that
i lit ht he appropriated tor putting our ports
V. hat bora in a state of defence, might have
a considerable influence on the people as
to the question of peace or war; it would
have tost influence on his mind. A gen
tleman from N«*w-Yoik had proposed 1 ,
50O,<K‘fl dollars,^tnd acknowledged this was
loss than it nnghCfo be. If they adopted
the resohit'.ui as it now stood, they pledged
thcinseives to the people to fill it with such
sum as n.ight be commensurate with the
object. Tiie gentleman from Pennsylvania
had iaid something with regard to the cul
tivator* of the fcnil ; it must be known to
that gentleman that every part of the com
munity was equally entitled to protection ;
the cultivators of the soil not more than a
ny e r r. The mercantile class were, as
the gentleman had said, the ham! of the
community, and equally necessary to the
good of the whole. It had been said th.»t
if *50,000 dollars were taken for the bate
wa'-» of fort fications, it would not have e- .
i*Mt|,h for sithnr parts of a system of do-I
fe nce or offence. Mr. C said the only ques
t on now to Ik* considered was, would they
rc >ist the insults and spoliations of foreign |
nations? het us, Saif! fir, resolve upon re
sistance ; end f we. determine upon that, i
the nuiTi in the. treasury should have no in-j
fhit nci upon us as to tne extent of our ope
ra t* ons.
Mr. *A'i thr nr i.l thought, from what
lie h.ifl heard that the chairman of thccom
tnittee hsd produced to the House every
fact within his power. When the secie
tary of war was inv ted to an interview
with tlm committee, Mr. W. himself asked
him, if 1m- g u!'l say wh;,t specific .sums
V'cvc urctHSiiry for specific, points ; Ifc an
swered, that he tfiought it was impossible
t<> vtr.tr them. Although he had taken eve
ry possible meins to enquire into the ex-.'
expenditure which might hr necessary,'
yf’t when the engineers came to work upon '
tu • fortifications, their views might vary
f’-'-m his, end it w»* impossible to say any
t’.i : g nr: r the precise inn ; but that what
eve, surplus remained from one part might
M*pp»\ the deficiency in ano.hcr. 'J ins was !
ail nr information cmnftiunicated to the '
ccamilue. JJe therefore hoped the blank i
w id.; rot be filled up now, as there was
Up immediate necessity for it, and it could
be dime more properly in the hill.
Mr. Qtimr.r m i4 the reason given by
the gentleman* from Vermont was a very
1
r,r'( d one to sl»*-\- why 'he rip.proprlntion
hould be general : Hut the committee
would perceive and consider whether it
was net absolutely reces-tirv, in order to
enable them to do justice in this vote, that
there should be before them a calculation ’
rom official source*, such an one us might
hereafter he rt fet r. d to. If it were not in
he power ot the liecrct irv of War to L'ivc
a full statement, such an one as was in his
power. He made these observations, ifcr.t ,
some gentleman might, if go other gentle
man did, he would move that the commit
tee should rise, in order to tr ie t >r informs - .
non. He vvidte*5. every pert in the U. S. 1
large and small, to haw us portion of the
money expended ; he wished all this mo- .
nev should he In tl out well, and that eve
rv portion of our citizens might know wh?t
proiei •r>n they were to receive, and what
the.y might expec t. ;
Mr I ali.man ;ic confessed that'he was
opposed to fil ing tip the blank i t present
as recommended l»v the committee, with
out further inforntr.’ic.'. He therefore en
quired »"hether it would be in order attliif. .
stage of the l••i-.iii. is to move the previous
question whether the hls.uk • hould be filled
or v ot.
li ' 'n the general objection that appear
ed to filling the blank at present, Messrs. I
Gardenier, Masters and Blount, withdrew
the respective sums they had proposed ; I
and )
The resolution was then ngreed to with
out a d vision.
Tlu s< r >nd resolution being under con
siclerar'.on,
Mr i;.» oukt said hr would r.ot row move
to fill the blank it; th'.-, resolution, because
he tori '-• w there tv.mil l»e -as much time
