«f *■ So'tJ nays upon.it, that it might be fair ly known what gentltmen in the house were fur abandoning the naval arma ment alto-ether. ' Mt. Giles said, that he had opposed it in every rtagc,as an useless expence, S: an improper way of attempting to at tain the prxpofed object. He should vote agsinft the appropriation. Mr. Dayton thought that Mr. W. Smith had afTumed an odd flile. Mr. Smith had never heard him backward! to fitting out a naval armament, and yet he should vote agairifl the present motion, ior this plain reason, that the money had been voted already. Mr. Fitzfimons did not know whe ther the lafl year's provifionextended to this. If it extends then this is an use less proportion. Mr. Boudinot thought that the pro vifiou did hot extend, but that the mo ney unappropriated was carried forward | as lurplus revenue, and that a new was requiiil# to appropriate over again the money for the navy. Mr. W.Smith did not suppose that the former appropriation cjontinued in force, or he certainly would hot have, made this motion. He did not refer, at any rate, to Mr. Dayton, when fee .spoke of gentlemen being against the armament altogether. Mr. Dayton read the aft, whieh, as he thought, made it clearly out that the money yet Itauds in reserve. He wished the point ducided ~efore the house went farther. Mr. Sedgwick recommended that this refutation should pass in the mean time. If the money was ah eady voted this could do no harm. Mr. Hillhoufe wished it to be with drawn. No question was taken on it, but a committee were appointed to bring in a bill o;: Ihe refolut onj reported. report was next read on the peti tion of Edmund Hogan, and made the order of the day ~to-moriow. The house next went into a commit tee on the report of the fele£t commit tee, to whom was referred the message of the Pielident of the 17th current, rejpefting the difpalition of Indian lands by the (late of Gtorgia. The fiifl lefol lit ion was read,ahd patt ed witiiout a divilion. It was ia tiiefe words : Resolved, That it be recommended to the President of the United States, to uie all conftjtutionai and legal means to prevent the infradtion of the treaties made with the Indian tribes, by the citizens of the United States, with an alTurance, that Congress wiil co-operate in ftjch other aiTU mi will prnppr f«i the fame end. The second resolution was then read. Mr. Fitzfimons said he was much ftirprifetl how this firft resolution had got through the house without opposi tion, for it was drawn in the molt lin gular terms that lie had seen. It was no less than a recommendation from that house to the President, that he would take care to do his duty. He hoped that there was no necessity for ! admonitions of that fort. Mr. Fitzfimen* was told that he was not in order, as the icfolutiou had al ready paired. The second resolution was as follows : Resolved, That it be further recom mended to the President of the United , States, not to permit treaties for the 1 cxtinguifhment of the Jndian title to ■ any lands, to be holden at the inllance of individuals, or of Hates, where it | (hall appear, that the properly of such j lands, when the Indian title (hall be ] extinguished, will be in particular per- ( > fors : and that, whenever treaties are held tor the benefit of the United Stats, t individuals, claiming rights ofppre-em- t tion, (rial! he prevented ifrora treating { w: h the Indians concerning the fame ; , and thai, generally, such private claims [ be pttljponed, to those of the Several ] (1 ites, wherever* the lame may be con- t 1 fillent with the welfare and defence of ; the United States. ' Mr. Smilie rose, and wap speaking to \ t!ie que 111 on in general. Mr. Sedgwick { rose and called him to order, and conti- c nued (landing till him I elf was* called to order by Mr. Giles. In the mean time [ Mr. Smilie moved to adjourn, " and J n said he, '« I hope that the ; a gentleman will allow me to be in or- 1 f, der." He then spoke a few wards on j c the rep rt.
