Of Connecticut providing that six per day eaowel
such OF the persons the naval service who may elect
MI ROCKWELL supported this amendment in some
energetic and forcbe remarks. He showed that the
OF ardent spirits was not only wholly unnecessary but
established that fact There were 1856 ships of tonnage
OF 22s,ooo tons, and employing 1850 seamen. Nine
tenths OF the whaling vessels went to without any
spirits. His honorable friend from New Bedford, near
him, could correct him, if in error.

navy, instead of "such persons may elect" He hal
views to present that subject, but would not

them.

ing the number of assistant surgeons the naval
and submitted few remarks showing the necessity
! of such amendment.
! Mr.. ADAMS, of Mississippi, followed in support Of
the amendment submitted by Mr.. Dixon to the amend

time that this government should cease TO furnish poison
to the young engaged in their service Mr. A. also,

time in his life that he had ever obtained the floor when
anybody else wanted it, and that he feared he might

He also thought that the President had acted his part
bly,, and he (Nlr A. believed that, had the Executive
