Friday, December -.
Mr.. Robinson moved that when the Senate
adjourn it be adjourned until Tuesday next
carried
Mr.. Dana asked leave to report bill to es.
tablish system Of navigation for the United
States. He assigned as reasons why the leave
should be granted, that bill for the same
purpose had once passed the Senate nncn-
in,onSiy and, other reasons were necessary,
that there was no law OF the United States
prescribing proper and discriminate rules for
the navigation Of American ships. Our mcr-
chant vessels are therefore navigsted by mas
tiers crews of every country, and of every CO.
iour. If il be desirable that our flag be re-
spec,ed, il ought to be provided that the mast
eis or commanders Of our vessels be Amer
lean, and also due proportion of their crews.
This regulation will make it the interest OF
our sailors to detect foreigners IN their pre-
tensions to the American name aud character.
II, may be objected, that this preference
will raise the wages of our seamen 10 our
towns Gsanted--but the advantage will be
to american Stamen, snd will prove an e6ee
fuGi protection Of ,heir rights. Nevertheless
ne would not prohibit merchants from employ
ing foreign seamen, if they fhemsfives shall
prcfcr--but this privilege he would grant on
" upder the express provision that vessel
thus navigAted shall no, be entitled to pro,ee-
ton as on American ship.
