Finally, Mr.. President, having stated
my own opinions, ! respectfully ask those
who propose TO continue the discussion
now going on, relative to the Deposites,
TO let the country see their plan for the final
settlement of the present difficulties. lf
they arc against the Bank, apd against
all Banks, ,rhat do they propose? That
the country will not be satisfied with the
present state of things, seems TO me GER
tain. Whot state Of things is 10 succeed IL?
4 10. these questions, ] desire TO cal, car
! nestly, the attention Of the Senate and
of the country. The occasion is cri'i-
cal; the interests nt stake momcntons; (;
and, in my judgment, Congress ought not
to adjourn till it shall have passed some
law, suitable to the cxigency, and salts
factory TO the country.
i The memorial was then committed.
The resolution submitted by Mr. knight,
on Thursday, relative TO the Engraving
and Printing a Chart of Narragnnscu
Bay, being under consideration, Mr..
knight stated, that since he had offered
I the resolution, he had understood that the
Chart had been Engraved, and Lr asl ed
10 modify it SO as 10 call for the Printing
Of 1000 copies.
Mr.. Forsyth remarked that this was
certainly small affair, but he would at
enst like to know Tor what purpose this
multiplication Of copies was desired.
Mr.. Knight replied, that Narrag gansett
Bay was in the public eye as a Naval
Station. A survey had been made with
that intention. 1t was a place Of very
great interest, and the object of the re-
solution was to give every body an op-
Portuniy of examining the subject, and
estimating the advantages Of Narrngan-
sett Bay. He wished to convince the
public Of the strong claims which this
Bay had upon the notice Of the Govern
ment and the people.
Mr.. Forsyth objected to the PROPOSE
tion, as involving an expense without a
commensurate advantage.
Mr.. Robbins remarked, that Nara
gansett Bay possessed pre- eminent ad-
vantages rs Naval Station. 1t was
superior to any other site on the whole
Atlantic frontier. 1t was better calcu-
lated as Depot and station from whence
10 wnge maritime offensive or defen-
sive warfare, than any other part of the
coast. As station, it was not only cal
culated to repel invasion, but to furnish
facilities to carry the war into the enc
my's waters-to drive him hack to his
own channels. It was a station cnlcula-
ted TO reduce the expense of Naval
war at least one-half. The cost of Prin-
ting was trife: knowledge ofthe Bay
Of great importance.
MIR. Forsyth said, that he was really
ashamed to rise again, bat he could not
conceive that any good would arise by
an expenditure Of 3 or $1OO for Printing
additional copies Of a Chart, when all
WHO had occasion 10 examine it could be
furnished at any time. These repeated
calls for printing involved in the aggre-
gate heavy expenditures. lie could not
conceive that any public benefit would
be derived from the adoption Of this re-
solution, and consequently he should vote
against 1t.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Ewing, Of Ohio, then addressed
the Senate on the subject of the Reno
val Of the Deposites until the hour Of ad-
journmcnf.
In the HOUSE, Monday Jan eOM.-
A great number Of petitions were pre-
sentcd, and various resolutions offered
previous to the hour assigned for taking

M'Duffie's resolution, and continued to
speak till 3 o'clock, when, without hav-
ing concluded, he gave way to motion
for adjournment, and the House adjourn
