Dir. A. A. Low objected 70 the Chamber cou,m;,,,s
iisen upon this SUBJECT ss tie course suggested might
prove very detrimental 10 own steamers Il was
by large subsidies from the Brtish Government thai
the Cunard line enabled 10 keep up the fastest
steamers, and it their boast that they had
driven of or steamers by such means. IL was no.
toriou that the fastest could be run Only BY aid
of Government patronage Tho effect Of this esolu
ton would be 10 throw the whole mail service into tho
banda Of the Birth steamers. and 10 take OF entirely
American steamers, OF which We had but very few,
and they not vel sustained.
On motion OF Capt. MARSHALL, the memorial Wa
laid ON the table.

the hurry Of legislation be feared great many crudi.

Mr.. PHELPS doubted the policy Of sending Commit.
tees 20 Congress- except on important subjects and such
as were intimately connected wth the business VI tie
Chamber. When too frequently sent, they lost their
force aud were not well received
Mr. Low thought that ii the Chamber Gould not give
free expression OF opinion Subjects 40 important
to Commercial interests IL bad better disband. The
Chamber Of Commerce, representing the COmmerril
community should say 20 Congress that II they wanted
an extraordinary of money there must be soms

Mr.. JONATHAN SrURGEs hoped the resolution
would pasr for the purpose Of encouraging Congress TO

its history and always found that the merchants Of

must come and why shonld not those who were ready
10 sacrifice lives an1 fortune. be heard lie thought
that the merchants ought express themselves freely
The ameUduent by Mr.. Iathers was Lost, and the
RESOLUTION by Mr.. Low was carried
Mr.. G.. II. MARSHALL moved the following;
RssreS That m tue opinion Of this Chamber the Tariff BIN
conderaion OF should be framed 80 - 70
podacs reyeEuc only and without regard TO protection.
He thought that on many articles the duty WA 90
great az to amount 10 a prohibition. Certainly such
tariff would 0imnih instead Of increasing the Ieyenne
Mr.. SAMUEL HoTALiS0 opposed the resolution,
stating that the great productive Interests OF our coun-
try required protection and the fostering VI Gov
erIment and it was difficult 10 draw hDe between
tariff for revenue and one tr gro'ecuon. Any
measure would be unbo,lrhy which cid not have In
view the development Of the manufacturing and agri-
cultural resources Of the country.
The resolution passed ard was ordered 10 be Tor
