advising that 1t was one requiring celebrity and
Citpatch, and requiring that measures should be

Mr.. RAMLIN agreed with every word

the recent publication by the Secretary OF State giving
warning to the fishermen. 1t seemed to imply doubt
that the nights eXerci2ed by them under the treaty,
snd since its ratit cation, were not well founded.
Mr.. DAVIS said, that from the newspa-
pers it would appear that the Secretary Of State and
the Brih Minister who had gone TO Boston, were now
that there little apprehension but the matter would
be settled amlcaby. lie had difficulty In arriving at
the object OF this movment The senator from Tune,
be thought had touched the key the whole matter;
he would not hesitate to set bill proposing proper
snd suitable system Of reciprocity he however, desired

eulogized highly.
Mr.. BoRLAND complained that the Execu-
tive had neglected to send any information, to

Mr.. BUTLER alluded to overtures by the
British, for negotiations about the fisheries, time
since, in consequence OF having been crowded out by
Anel leans.
Mr.. ADAMS thought discussion premi-

Mr.. SEWARD would vote with pleasure
for the resolution 1t was limited to two obects-to
obtain information as to the diplomatic correspondence

nothing Objectionable IN this The importance of these
fisheries was conceded by all, and no one State was
more interested In them than another. II was wen
known that any attempt TO drive fishermen from
those fisheries would involve the whole country
in blaze of war in which case bis State would
be deeply interested. lie deprecated, well
the Senator from Massachusetts, all excitement on
this subject Whether the difficulty shall be settled by
LetOAtiUn or he steiner arblursment Of war, there

The Secretary Of State at this seeks his native
