the privateering question were referred to the
committee Of foreign relations. The following
are the resolutions:
Resolved, That in the Judgment of the Senate the
complete exemption of all vesse of commeros and
their cargoes from seizure capture in time OF war
would b. s:gnai blessing to mankind and that to
the accom- pisnmsut Of an end SO desirable tho Sen
ate will always be ready to give their hearty aid and
cooperation.
Ee.olved, That the mere alb ,r!on OF privateering
would not accomplish that end but would its ope-
ration be unequal and unjust, depnving the United
states of most ef.ctuai means If hostility and
taiiation against q superior naval power, which by
means Of its number Of pubic ships might
amos. with impubity, destroy or cripple COM
MERGE and therefore be Inconsistent with the policy
and interest of the United States.
Resolved, That this policy OF the United States,
coinciding with the general interest of msnkini %
