As Mr, Casa argued, he could choose his own time for at, tack, but we should be always on the defensive. But if Mr.Calyoun has recommended this plan in good fuith, as there is not the slightest doubt he bas, for Practical adoption, it should have been offered several months ago, as our operations are now in such un ad- vanced state tha’ it is impossible, even if the administra- tion so desired, to adopt it.

Journal of yesterday Pe’ On motion of Mr Dix. the Senate tock up the bill for the repeal of the pilot law of 1837, which gives to the NewJersey pilots an equal privilege over the commerce of New York with the New York pilots themselves. The object of the bill of Mr Dix is to repeal this act, and to leave the management of the New York pilot law to the New York Legislature Mr. Dix explained the justice and necessity of this measure. It was to repeal the pilot law of 1937 Before the adoption ef the constitution of the United States eve- Ty State was the regulator of its own pilot laws. In New Yor! early as 1694, the Legislature, over this government and the council passed a law licensing pilots, and prohibiting all persons not so licensed, from any participation in the business to the extent of their jurisdiction. Previous, therefore, to the adoption of the constitution, the ower over the pilot laws was a State he act of confederation found it #0, and lett it so. But in the adoption of the constitution it was assumed that in the power conferred upon Congress‘ to regulate com- merce,” was also delegated the power of controlling the Pilot system. | ‘The first act that was passed by Congroas after the adoption of the constitution, provided that all laws relating to pilots, shall be subject to the State laws where they may be. From 1789 down tothe year 1837, this was the established system. [ifthe winter of 1836 '87, there wore two disastrous shipwrecks in the Sound of Long Island (as understood) and in the excitement of in the act of being carried iuto effect in Mexico, and of the moment the New York pilots were held responsi- which the public hav, heard nought, except from one heaane Cae extended oan to tle city ; and on or two authentic sources—the Herald first evague the 2d March, 1887, an act was passed by Congrese pro: is in direct antegoniem with Mr. Colhoun’s Yili that in all evista ters lying between tw views—of which the contemplated operations will en- tirely prevent tho adoption. On the heels of this excitement, treads another. A to. This w lego to the pilots of New Jersey York, as the latter were held responsible for th dents’ which bad recently occurred.

But I yet think Santa Anna’s death, ifdead he be, should be regarded by acalamity more than in ony other light.

The act of '37 was passed under a misapprehension of the facts, and it was an unjust judgment upon them.— it was supposed, however, that combinations of New York pilots had been formed, leading to a relaxation of their duties, and to consequent dan- era and losses to commerce. But the Legislature of New York hed been apprised of this, and had an act for a board of commissioners, and new regujadons for the supp nt of any sueh combinations, and adapted to open the door to an enterprising competition. The ‘ew York pilots, for their skill, industry, and enterprise their arduous vocation, were pot surpassed by avy pilots upon the earth, They were owners of their own boi {ju igment upon a meritorious class of our citizens ; und becutiso, if it were repealed, the Legislature of New York would take ample care of ull necessary regulptions for the benefit of commerce, in the same manuer in which such regulations are now contrulied by osher States. But there were graver conriderauons, requiring the repeal of this law Hawe Cone ress the power, under the right to regula'e commerce, to regulate pilots, to Prescrine their number, «an! to regulate the limits within which they shall ect?

We re- ard the pilot law of 1837 in the sane gat. We consi jer itan encroachment upon the rigite of the State of New York—a species of eucroachment, which from small beginnings may grow upto high-handed und gigantic usurpations. ‘Chere are other and more prad'ical cons i- dorations against the act of ’87. The New Jersey pu tre amenable to nolaw of New York or of Congres but to New Jersey alone, though their line of duty lies wi hin the limits ot New York Now we hold that if Congress legisiates at all upon this subject, it should do so directly und efficiently, 1n an unitorm manner, all the Stace nt. Instead of the peo- ple of one State being prohibited from extending any sortot jurisdiction within the Limits of another, your present pilot law authorizes one-State to extend its laws within tne Limits of another by your ki control which has the sole authority over the while New York is only permitted a concurrent juris diction with a neighboring State. If you assume to es- tablish « pilot sy stem, Je\ it at least be uniform and equal in its operation. New Jersey has all the benefit of tis concurrent jurisdiction. The New York pilots never interfere with her commerce. She has but lide foreign trade. Her’s is @ coasting trade, carried on in small ves- sels, generally of less tho a hundred tons, requiring no pilots under the law. ‘Ihe operation of th there: fore, is altoy r unequal.
