the joint select committee on the decline
of American shipping contains these Soc
,, tions: That no vessel engaged in commerce
with the dominion of Canada shall be sub
ject to tonnage or duty, nor shall consular
certificates be reqnired from the same.
That the individuality of the ship owner
shall be limited to the proportion of any
or all debts and liabilities his
individual share of the vessel bears
to the whole. That when any vessel,
whether steam or sail, shall be constructed
and equipped in the United States for the
| foreign trade, including trade between At
lantic and Pacific ports, in whole or in
part, of materials of production of the
United States, the owner or owners of such
vessel shall be entitled to receive and col
lect from the United States drawback or
sum equal in amount to the duty which
would have been collected upon i'm
ported materials of like de-
scription and of equal quality
with American materials used in the con-
struction, equipments, engines, boilers and
other appurtenances of such steam or sail
vessel; provided that in ascertaining such
drawback the duty on such iron or steel
material shall be computed on the iron and
steel advanced in manufacture not beyond
the point of plates, angles, bars, and rods,
and provided further that the section shall
apply only to vessels commenced after the
passage of this act.

events which, if circumstances existing
from 1855 to 1861 had continued, would
have been inevitable even had there beer
no war. It would he great
mistake to infer as many that
have given testimony before tht
