preparations as the experience Of ages
demonstrates to be atone safe and eff
iectusl. We cannot therefore, but
deprecste system OF measures, which
instead of providing for the defence
of our ports and frontier, by usual
and obvious means, has impaired our
naval t zee, and left us exposed to eve
ry invader.
That In the estimation of this Lee
gislature, naval force is highly inn
portant for the defence of this coun-
try and the protection of commerce !;
and that it is the duty of the Senators
and Representatives of this common
wealth in congress, from time to time
to use all due means for the gradual
creation of an effective navy:
That the general Government, ha-
wing been instituted expressly to pro-
vide for the common defence and ge-
neral welfare, and to preserve to us
and to Posterity the blessings of liber-
ty, must be supported at every expense
and every hazard, while it secures
these inessimable blessings by an equal
and paternal solic;tude for the various
parts and sections of the Union 49,
But that government must not be con-
founded with the administration as the
latter can only be entitled to the con-
fldence of the people, when by fair
and frequent display of their purposes
and policy they rescue themselves
from the imputation of partially, and
prejudice undue fear of affection in the
conduct of our foreign and domestic
concerns.
II was then voted, that they be prin-
ted for theuse of the Members and
