Repeated representations have been
made by officers employed to survey the
coast, of,he great advantages Of Narragan
sett Bay oyer every other site in the cast
ern states, for The location of permanent
establishment for the navy. But though
men ofacknowledged skill in naval affairs,
and the abless of our engineers, have a
gain and again demonstrated to the gov
eminent the great superiority Of this har-
Dor over every other in this section of the
country, as to ease Of access, and security
OF anchorage, it has never till now been Sc
riousiy recommended 10 the attentive con
sidera,ion Of Congress. Sectional feel
'ngs and interests have outwejghed our
feeble claims, and the far moro imperi.
Gus ones Of the Union. The small state of
Rhode Island had too little influence in The
Contaderacy, even TO accomplish an object
which was evidently more for the advan-
tage of the country, than for her own.
We therefore cannot refuse our unquai
flied praise to this act of the administra-
ton. Although fully aware that this mea.
sure would be repugnant to the wishes Of
the great commercial city west of US, and
OF several other towns in whose vicinity
dock yards have been es,abl ished, still the
government did not hesitate to recon.
mend such Improvements in reference TO
the navy, as were deemed conducive TO the
public good. In This respect, they who
now compose the cabinet have shown them
selves superior TO their predecessors. and
the patriotic feeling which prompted them
to sacrifice oil party motives to the public
welfare. cannot fail TO be duly appreciated
in Rhode Island. For ourselves. although
we shall never be persuaded to abandon
our principles, or 10 falter in their enforce
men,, by favors actually bcstowedbr,hoped
for. we are not so clouded by party zesl.
