tie Grt the slaves are to be paid for al the rate

The 81 the subject Of the slave was mentioned
rance gentleman from Ohio and bis elder col
sssed ue, Mr.. Giddings, seem affected with a
Granafes Of madness like dogs with the hydro
phobia Great Britain gave a round sun for
the satisfaction Of these claims, and It was fer

The gentleman from Ohio, as a trustee, would
keep The money 10 his pocket for the use Of bis
osn bouse, and not pay 1t for the slaves.

the Democrats.

The bill for the repeal Of the fishing bounties !
was taken up.
Mr.. Fsssenden made an elaborate argument |
In support Of the continuance OF the bountles [
The line Of his reasoning was the Government /
policy, which bestowed those bOuntiss, was to 1
produce hardy corps Of sezmen who woald /
be available in warfare Secondly, that this /
policy has proved effsctual for the purpose for /
which il was designed originally. It's continu- I
ance was absolutely necessary TO the navy, |
whereas lis repeal would be disastrous.
Mr.. Summonds spoke IN favor Of the contin-
usnce OF the bounty, saying that the repeal Of
the act would be mos. unfortunate species Of
economy.

change bis opinion. oil had passed the I
educate them as seamen, hence be 4
would vote against the repeal.
Mr.. ToOmbs spoke generally agsinst bounties, /
military, naval and farming, FOR the reason /
that Government educstes worse aud deaTer I
lhsn anybody else. This bounty was not origi- /
mated as means Of nursery for seamen, but /
oalg as drawback o. salt

ed by fishing vessels vas oniY one to Two bun
dred dollars each, and notN Outstanding the re-
peal Of that amount cod would not cease to be 1
an article Of human consumption.
kir. COllamer had no doubt Of a continuance |
Of a suficiencg OF cod for the supply Of the
world, but the Senator must remember that the 1
reciprocity treaty admits, duty free, fish caught
BY the provincials, and the effect Of the repeal
will be to raise sesmen for the British Navy |
instead Of the United States.
Mr.. BENJAMIN replied that the reciprocity 4
treaty was aeeeded to By the South, with the |
sole view TO benefit their northern brethren, /
there being no reciprocal trade between Canada 1
and the Southern portion of the Union.
Mr.. COllansr said, in reply, that in bis opih- /
ion the South acceded to the reciprocity treaty |
with the view Of giving Canada all the com
msrcial advantage Of a connection with this
Union, without her coming into it to disturb
The balance OF political power between the
North and South.
