Mr. Hunrer moved the postponement of the private calendar for the day, in order to take up the Deficiency bill. Mr. Bonanno urged the injustice of again postponing private claims. Mr. Hunter's motion was agroed to by ayes, 21; nays, 16+ Several petitions wero presented. COURTS IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMUIA. The bill for holding the United States District Courts in the District of Columbia, in case of the sickness or dirability of the Judges thereof, was taken up, and or- dered to be engrossed. RAILROAD LANDS FOR ALABAMA, On motion of Mr. Cuxmens. the Senate took up the bill granting right of way and donation of public lands to Alaboma, in aid of the construction of the Mobile and Girard Railroad, in that State. Tho biil was amended to agree with previous bills, and ordered to be engroseed, THE RULES, Mr. Badger's resolution, amending tho rules, was taken up and debated ‘After a long debate, the rules were amended as propos- ed by Mr. Badge RAILROAD LANDS FOR FLORIDA, On motion by Mr. Moxrox, (whig) of Georgia, the bill granting right of way, and a donation of lands, to Florida, to aid in thé construction of the Florida, Atlan- tic and Gulf Railroad, and its branches, was taken up and amended so as to conforin to other like bills, and was ordered to be engrossed. THE COLLINS STRAMERS—SPRECH OF The Deficincy bill was then taken up. Mr. Cass, (dém.) uf Mighigan, advocated the adoption of the omendment giving further aid to the Collins line of steamers, Ie said he was opposed to adding this amendment (o this bill, because it was to supply no de- ficiency. It was a new proposition, and out of place in a deficiency bill—vut the Senate had over ruled him in this, and he would make no further opposition to putting itin here. Ie was opposed, generally, to any logislation by Congress, ordering acontract for steamship. service, with any particular persons; that matter ought to be left to the administrative diseretion of the departimonts. ‘There was no doubt—there could be none—that this great enterprise was now alosing business, Its steck ‘was at fifty pereont discount, and the stock market was an unmistakeable barometer of the success or failure of any financial operations. This line, with reapect to an application for aid from Congress, occupied a position most peculiarly recommending it to favor. It stood on grounds auch aswere not occupied by any other line, and while he voted for aid to this line, ho would not be committed in favor of giving like aid to any other line, unless it could present a state of affairs equa dy strong and favorable as was presented by this, With respect to other lines, he stood uncommitted. The amount of postages now received from this line was considerable. It had increased during the last year, and a corresponding increase hereafter—which it was but reasonable to anticipate—would lead to the conclusion that, at no distant time, the postages received will more than repay the compensation now allowed. He observed from the newspapers that an offer had been made to the French government to construct aud run a line of steamers from Havre to New York. at a cost for three steamers of about $200,000 year. This same rato of compensation, if allowed Collins, would give him for his five ships a million. He had been struck with the singular eotnckdenoe between the remarks of Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, and Mr. Huntor, of Virginia, They both considered this allowance as affording protection. It CASS, ETC, was protection; but what kind of protection? It was affording protection to the honor, — the flag, — the commerce, — the safety of our sea const, — our roll—our whole country—against foreign violence or invasion. It was to build up and establish the means of rotecting these, that this protection was intended. ie was to afford protection to there from dishonor, vio- lence, defeat, and dirgrace. It might as well be said, that when a government yessel sails with a convoy, in time of war, it is wrong, because it 1s protection, and that if government did not do so. others would come in and offer their services. This wes an experi- ment that had not yet been tested. Ifit bo successful, its results will be tremendous. It is a proposition for a self-supporting navy. If it succeeds, we will have. in- stead of keeping up a naval organization at great expense, a naval force ready, at a slight expense, for all the practi- cal purposes of naval warfare. It will, if it succeeds, solve the problem of creating a means of national defence, which, by its own earnings, would sustain and keep itself, without expense to the nation. It was said by Mr. Iun- ter, that if this great boon be given to New York, the same will have to be given to other cities. He thought not, You cannot haye a fort or an arse- nal everywhere. You cannot have a harbor where- ver you please. You cannot have a bridge. or a court house, or a county seat, everywhere.’ And because you cannot bave all these ‘at every place, must you do without them anywhere? The construction of a steam nayy would be a great achievement. It would be the greatest event since the discovery of gunpowder. The next maritime war would caps thokiege and charaoter- istics hitherto unknown in the history of the world. The collision of hostile steam fleets would form a new era in warfare. and the consequences would be most important tothe world, Who could say when war would come upon us? He did not believe the day had yet arrived when war, as the means ofarbitrament of national difficulties, would cease, That day foretold in Scripture was not now. Weare a young, apowerful people; wedepend on our own resources, and depend on ourselves for the means of defence. We should be prepared tor any contest; this was an experiment im & séw order of things, and we should try it. In case of war, our policy would not be to send out large fleets to meet others on the ocean. No man outside of 1 luna- tic asylum ever contemplated sending an army across the ecean to march upon London, He would not go with euch an army, though he had been charged with saying #0. He had contradicted it, but, like noise and confu- sion affairs generally, the oftener he denied it, the oftener it was repeated. (Laughter.) In a war with our groat rival, our policy would not be invasion. Her commerce was the point most asrailable. On it she depended, and to destroy her, that must be destroyed. ‘The only prac- tical object to be accomplished by our naval force would be to destroy her commerce. What vessels would accom- plish that purpose best? These Collins steamers. For this service the Collins steamers would answer better than all the ships of the line in the world. ‘They have speed, and can carry force. Privateers in such a war cannot now be depended on. ‘These Collins steamers can run away from and overtake any commercial vessel of the enemy, cripple her, take off her crew, and sink her. They can carry coal for any probable service. Whatever we do for, or with this Collins line, all must be satisfied that, in the event of war, we shall have uso for and should construct vessels of this very kind. With a naval force of this kind, we ought toshut up the Gulf of Mexico—allow no foreign vessel to ride in those waters, and control the commerce down to the equator. All remembered the history ot the revolution. He, though a pretty old fogy, didn’t remember its events personally—(Laughter)— but who had not heard of the deeds of Paul Jones, and the injury he did to the commerce of the enemy? ‘The frigate President did the same during the last war. This was a national matter—it was a contest on which tho eyes of the world were directed. He agreed with Mr. James, that he had a repugnance to striking his flag to the enemy, and yielding the palm of superiority to a foreign power. In a contest, the prestige of superiority Was a great auxiliary power—many a vietery had been gained by it, even before the battle was fought. ‘The certainty of superiority, and the remembrance of former victories, affected equally both parties, but with different effect. He was unwilling to yield that superiority. Tho victory of Hull and the Constitution caused @ thrill throughout alj America. Its effect in England was also felt. It was the first blow which her dcean sdperiority had experienced. He complimented the navy of the present day as equally meritorious and de- serving the confidence of the country as it ever was. He had no feeling of hostility towards England. He had expreseed his disapprobation of the manner in which she had treated everything Amorican. He wished no contest of arms with her. He desired no war but one of arts and sciences, Since the day that John Adams first presented himself at the English court. America and Americans were sneered at. At first they treated Brother Jonathan with contempt—next with re- spect. But there is another feeling on their part which Will be developed before long—it is “apprehension.” ‘The queetion first asked in a British review, “Of who read an American book?” had been taken up by the world, and gene on its way rejoicingly, even to Siberia, The ques- tion meant more than It expressed, It Ric a the idea that, with the exception of Washington, America had produced no name distinguished.

In pursuance of the instructiogs of the House, adopted yesterday they report, ineffect, fNat Mr. Hamilton, con- trnctor for the printing, undertook to do the work at ruinous prices—scarcely enough to pay for tho white paper of the kind required by the contract, Under theso circumstances he has been unable. at any time during the present session, to oxecute the printing ot the two houses agreeably to the terms of the contract, and in no single instance has be fully complied with the require ments of his bonds, ‘The work is done in a manner ab- solutely disgraceful to the country. and worse than any executed tor any State Logisluture. Besides, the work has been delayed. ‘The President's annual message, which ought to have been printed in three weeks, is not half done, after a lapse of five montha, and thero is not the slightest prospect that it will be fully completed unt after the adjournment ofthe present session, Other im- portant documents are delayed for months togethor. The contractor promised amendment; but he has made no improvement. ‘The committeo, aftergoing further into the subject, say thero was no other alternative left to them but to enter into a contract with Donelson & Armstrong. to execute so much of the printing as might be required by the House, and which the public con- tractor would not, or couid not do, and with Gideen & Company to do the work ordered by the Sonate. Each of those firms have entered into bonds of twenty thou- sand dollars, forthe faithful porformance of the the work. ‘The terms do not differ materially from the bid of Mr, Towers, and aro no more than will yield a moderate profit. The arrangements made by the com- mittee are only tempolary and merely to ‘secure the speedy oxeoution of the public printing, which the con- tractor could not do. The contractor has asked for relief, and this they rofer to for the purpose of showing it is an admirrion that he cannot meet the obligation of this contract, The committee deny the right of the House alone to instruct the joint committe of the two houses, and no ono who properly considered the subjoct, will maintain that the order to let out the printing by con- tract, at the end of ten days, ought to bo obeyed. The committee, under the law, have made arrangements for the prrompt excoution of the work, and they consider that they have no power to annul the contracts recently made, and which they dre required to do by order of the House. ‘The Senate's committee have declined to act upon the subject. The committee concluded with the following resolution :— Resolved, ‘That the Gommitteo on Printing, under the joint renolution of August 3, 166, have the power to adopt such measures ns may bo deemed necessary to remedy any ne- glect or on the part of the contractor to execute the work ordored by Congross, and to make a pro rata dedu tion on the compensation allowod, or refuse tho work alto- gether, rhould it be inferior to the starlard; and in alle may hold the contractor and his securities responsible for any increased expenditure consequent upon the non-per- formance of his contract. ‘After the report had been read.
