Monday Morning, May 9 1870, A Walk about Cape Ellzuhrih. To the Editor of the Press On fast day, not having the fear of Qov. Chamberlain before my eyes, 1 took the op portunity to visit the Cape. After crossing what they call the Ferry—but the accommo dations are unworthy the name—I walked in the direction of CusbiDg’s Point, (a descrip tion of which I have given you,) and from thence to the Foit. I had previously looked up thehistory ot Purpooduck Point, and found that beside tlie ship wreck and a large place of trade it had been the scene of hard fought battles, one of which is thus recorded: In 1602, Major Benjamin Church of the Plymouth Colony had been to Casco Bay to hart-ass the enemy. The expedition on its re turn anchored off Purpooduck Point, and the accommodations on board the vessels being limited, three companies of friendly Indians encamped in a deserted house on shore. At the (lawn of day the Indians lurking in tlio vicinity attacked them and an obstinate en gagement ensued, during which the troops from the vessels were landed. The enemy were driven off with the loss of 13 cauoes. Several were killed and wounded on both sides; one Indian prisoner, a lusty man, had Joseph Kamsdell’s scalp by his side.” I find that Joseph liamsdeJl of Lynn was killed at the taking of Fort Loyal at the foot of India street a short lime before. Church says of the Purpooduck fight: “Of our forces 0 were killed and 20 wounded. The loss fell principally on Capt. Southwortli’s company of friendly Indians from Plymouth Colony, of whom fitlceu were killed and wounded.” In August 170o, the enemy, consisting of five hundred French and Indians, invaded our frontier and dividing into small parties unex pectedly attacked all the settlements Irom Casco to Wells. The inhabitants of Purpoo duck were the most severe sufferers in this sudden ODset. There were nine families then settled on and near the Point who were not protected by any garrison, and they came sud denly on the defenceless hamlets when the men were absent, killed twenty-five persons, and took several prisoners. Among the killed were Thomas Lovitt and bis family, Joel Madiferd and the wives of Zeriah and Benja min Wallis, aud of Michael Webber. Josiah Wallis made his escape to Black Point with liisjson JoIid, then seven years old, part of the way on his back.” These fights were probably near fort Preble and Simonton’s Cove. In passing over the ground I came to the old burying ground near which there was a log meeting house in Parson Smith’s time, where he used to preach occasionally. Close to the bank, so near that a part of the graves have fallen down, stands a slate stone with the top broken off and gone, leaving only the date of death, April 2d, 1744. I was there two years ago when the pieces were beside the stone, showing the name of Mrs. Simonton. It was probably one of the wives of the first settlers who gave the name to the Cove; and only one other old stone, with an inscrip tion, that of James Maxwell, who died March 5th, 1792, aged 93. There are several marble stones ot the Thrasher family, of a later date, an account ot which will be found below, although not men tioned by any historian. I liad heard of an old timber garrison at Simonton’s beach, and in going south soon came to it. It was built by John White, son of the Kev. John White of Gloucester, Cape Ann. who came here in 1720. He was a tanner. His wife was Je rusha Woodbury ot Beverly, probably a sister of Joshua Woodbury, who came from Bever ly the same year and settled at Simonton’s cove. He was the ancestor of all that name in this vicinity. The house built by White is of square white oak timber, hewed and halved at Vie corners and dapboarded, very low sto ry, hot over six and a half feet, and ceiled ov erhead with two inch plank, built in this strong manner as a protection against Indi ans. The cellar is in good repair, being of slate stone laid up in lime mortar, which ac counts for the house being in so good repair at the age of 144 years. The house is now used for a porch to a two-story house built by Eben Thrasher, also a tanner, who came Irom Sa lem and married White's widow, continuing me business in White’s tan-yard, extending from the house to Simonton’s beach. The old vats with the well from which they were filled are still to be seen. The house is occu pied by Miss Lucretia Thrasher, a grand daughter of the builder of the large house. It is not often that property remains so long in one family with no alterations, only additions. Miss Thrasher treated me very cordially al though a stranger, giving me moat of the above facts, and will any one taking an inter ’est as I did in this, the only remaining timber garrison house in the vicinity. A visit to it seems like taking one back to the middle cf the last century. The next point of interest was the old Simonton house farther up the cove, and the old Simonton orchard where after a Parish and Church war from May 1755 to May 1756, on the 20th day,Mr. Smith says: “Many of our people went over and installed Mr. Clark in Simonton’s orchard.” Mr. Smith wrote out sixteen reasons why he should not be install ed, one of which was “perpetually riding about pleasuring.” There a few of the old trees of the orchard left, but the most of them are gone, as are all the people who took part 5n itlie controversy. For all Parson Smith speaks so disrespectfully of the man and place chosen for his installation, any one visit ing the spot will with me conclude that it was not an inappropriate place, although not the usual one for such a ceremoDy; surrounded as it is by noble trees, on a gentle slope over looking a hamlet whose spiritual adviser he ought to be. Providence "smiled on his ministry for a period of over 40 years, notwithstanding tlie opposition was so bitter that over twenty of the parisioners were imprisoned for relusin" to pay church rates. On the 17th of June Parson Smith says, “Col. Cushing recovered his cause of rates. A terrible uproar about Mr. Clark's being poisoned,” Mr. Clark died in the ministry m 1797, Judge Freeman says, “without a stain on his character.” Even Col. Cushing asked to be received again alter being set off to the First Parish by au act of the General Court. Simonton’s Cove takes its name from Wm. and Andrew Simonton, who came to Fal mouth iu 1718, with twenty other families in a ship from Londonderry, Ireland; all of whom were descendants of Scotch Presbyte terians. Wpa- Simonton had a wharf in the Cove where he did a large West India and fishin" business, accommodating many oilier vessels besides his ovyn. lie died in 1794, aged one hundred years. They built each a large two story house on the high ground facing the cove, uue is mere yet, ol venerable appear ance, with its large chimney, not square at the top. but with many angles, like the houses in old Ipswich, on the stage road to Boston 40 years ago. Like White’s Garrison it is occupied by i\ maiden lady, a descendant of the lamily. When I was there a few years ago both houses were standing; since, one has been taken down: “Seven score years it stood: Yes they built it *ell. Though they built of wood; When thAt house arose, For its crofs-heanis square Oak ami walnut tell Little worse tor wear Down thepld house goes!’* I know of no more pleasing landscape than is that seen looking north from the high ground south of that ancient settlement of Simonton’s Cove. I wonder the painters have not found it, but it is too near home to be appreciated. In the distance on a clear day one sees the White Mountains; nearer is Black Strap Hill with its high look-out, the Marine Hospital, Mutyoy Hill with its ven erable observatory and sigual station; below, the ocean steamers at their wharves, with nu merous coasting steamers; the Grand Trunk ltadroad station a little to the right; Fort Gorges with its frowning granite battlements and three tiers of embrasures; nearer is Fort Scammell surmounted by its picturesque tower; and nearer still is old Fort Preble, the headquarters of the defenders of Portland! with its barracks, officers’ quarters, massive earth works and barbette guns in full view, with the Hag floating high over all, occupying a part of John White’s ancient plantation, on which he built his garrison, which can be taken into tlic same view. Every vessel en tering the harbor comes within hail. Be neath you lies the Cove with its crescent shaped sandy beach, as secluded as any fish ing village on Cape Cod, with all the apparent simplicity and quietness of similar communi ties in England, so graphically described by Dickens. Tlie fishing boats riding at their moorings in the Cove or drawn up on the beach. Every man or boy you see has a pair of oars, a boat’s mast and sail, or something connected with their business ot fishing. One is reminded ol the Savior’s meeting with James and John on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, with their fattier mending their nets (Parson Smith had several faithlul followers in Simonton Cove.) Every “tothei or net or some boat «ar on ™be llook, are hung to dry on ecd Inawt^ M at one end, the reel at th.t,, settlement, like its seeming ’..ba3 a very ancient Shakespeare s Labban^^ CoV(, jtJ aud fish likeJXnand historical interest ia beauty, sec porthui(j aU(j how few within two nines w know anything of f.

TT-TTH -PRESS. Monday Morning, May 9. 1870. Political Wilderness.” We doubt if an intelligent public will go into tbe wilderness” for political information when tliere is an alternative w hich is so much better, viz., going into the daylight. Tliere is Cimmerian darkness in that moral thicket where our evening contemporary dwells, and the shades are haunted by an infinite variety of phantoms and by a thousand figments of a diseased imagination. There are more mon sters of the airy and insubstantial kind wan dering about in a perfectly aimless, unintelli gent way in that ‘‘Cave of Adullam,” than the combined intellects ot Homer, Virgil and l)anle could have iuveuted lor an artifi cial Hades. In this same cave Mr. Far we II has strutted his brief hour as tbe winning man tor the Speakership and as a popular favorite. Here Hannibal Hamlin,overtbiowu and humiliated, has been seen to retire from political life, falling into neglect and at last into oblivion. At tbe very last spring election the whole wilderness” influence was given in a sneak ing, cowardly way to tbe Democratic candi date lor Mayor, just as now its influence,such as it is, goes dead against the Republican Representative in Congress from this district, and dead against every Republican candidate for any important office if be happens to dwell in this part of the State. We are not at ail sticklers ior the claims of locality, as our readers know, but we have never been accus tomed to regard tbe fact that an able man happens to be one's neighbor in tbe light oi a disability. We regard our neighbors, other things being equal, as entitled to the same courtesy and the same respect as the rest of mankind. And now from out this howling wilder ness,” where the Pikes, Farwells and all sorts of adventurers, malcontents and obscure wire pullers find refuge—where rings” are formed based on opposition to the Republican party— where men are supported for the Senatorsbip who have r.ot been nominated by a Republican CaucHS in wbich tliey are candidates—where every slanderous and false rumor against our Republican Representatives in Congress is paraded with a deprecating, timid smirk that strives to give the appearance of virtue to what is in reality the purest malice, which would be dangerous, il it were not cowardly— where Republicans are welcomed on the sole condition that they are notoriously corrupt— from tbis“wildemess,” we say, comes a piping voice which assumes to indicate what are the intentions of the'Republican party, and what are the feelings and views of the Republican masses! In this “wilderness” is a crazy sibyl that undertakes to impart to the public a knowledge of intentions of the Republican leaders. We have, at best, little faith in sibyls, but those whose ignorance is compli cated by a monomania are in our opinion peculiarly unreliable. But this wilderness” is almost certain political death to such as enter it; afl»r forty days’ wandering there none have ever come out into the political Canaan promised them. The air is terrible, of course, every ray of the run being carefully excluded. As for“tbeman that keeps the wilderness,” he would have been asphyxiated long ago, but for some natural aptitude for feeding on the pestilential exhalations. Charon finds the Stygian breezes pleasant and healthful. falitieal tfrlei. Senator Morrill. of Maine will make his speech on the tariff to-day. Senator Mor rill is also preparing to speak against the Os age land bill, in support of Senator Morrill of Vermont. The Boston Post reiterates its delaration that Democrats will submit peacefully to the loth amendment, and that the proposed coer cive legislation is unnecessary. The next session of the Executive Council will be the second week in May, when the Governor’s nominations for paper credit com missioners will come up for confirmation. The Governor will then nominate a new jail com mission. Tiie Lewiston Journal says: The Portland correspondent of the Boston Advertiser (a prominent iriend of the govern or) announces by authority tbai the lri.-nds of Governor Chamberlain, alter considerable de libciation, have determined to put him iu the field for re-elaction. It is but just to say that the governor does not desire the position again, and only carries out the wishes ol his lriends in allowing his name to be used. That he will be warmly opposed, and as warmly supported he thinks there will be ho doubt.” We suppose the correspondent means that Gov. Chamberlain is in the Held lor the Repub lican nomination, and not as a candidate any way lor re election, as some ol the Democratic papers have unfoundedly alleged. The Eastport Sentinel says that it cannot believe that the renomination of Gov. Cham berlain is seriously entertained by aD cu&tid erable number of people. It advocates the nomination of Mr. Pei ham, believing that he will unite the party. The following gentlemen are named in connection with the Democratic nomination for Congress in this district: T. H. Hubbard of North Berwick, I. G. Jordan of Berwick, Joseph Titcomb of Kennebunk, and Caleb It. Ayer of Cornish. Mr. Shaw of Biddeford de clines the honor. The Biddefoid Journal has calmed its proud spirit this week, from some reason, and is not half so amusing as usual. It says to the York County gentlemen who are candi dates for the Republican nomination for Con gress that it loves them equally, aDd that it has no candidate of its own. It indicates that it will support the man who is nominated, which is exactly our position. We want the best man in the district for our candidate, wherever he lives, and if it is found that he lives in York County, very well. But we have one important suggestion to make to candi dates everywhere. The editor ol the Journal asks a price for his support. It has been found that Representatives who have for four years commanded his enthusiastic admiration and respect, whose boots he would gladly have blacked as a slight token of his regard, whom he has a thousand times presented to the people as men clothed with every virtue that can adorn humanity', suddenly become unfitted for their work when they are found not to see that he has just the qualities that lit him for the position ol postmaster of Biddeford. Gentlemen, if you want the support of the Journal, promise the editor that you will turn out the soldier s widow, who lias neither wealth, political influence or vote, and put him in her place. Then you will find a friend who will stick closer than a barnacle. An Unpleasant Humor.—It is reported that the Naval Cummilloo of the House ul Representatives has decided to report in favor of permitting Mr. Wm. L. Hanscom, formerly naval constructor at Kittery Navy Yard, to withdraw his resignation. It will be remembered that this Hanscom resigned in I860. In 1868 he made strenuous eiTorts to get reinstated, but tailed because of certain affidavits that were filed with Secretary Welles, charging him with receiving money from workmen for obtaining them places in the Charlestown Navy Yard. Both l’resident Johnson and the Secreiary were of the opin ion that a tnan of the character described in the sworn statements filed at the Navy De- I partment was unfit lor the place, or, indeed, for any place in the gilt of the government. They arrived at this conclusion notwithstand ing the fact that Hanscom was in political sympathy with them. It would surely be very strange if tliis man were now to be per mitted under a Republican administration to resume his place, and by the advice of a body that has just been purged by its own action of several of its members who were guilty o! not more reprehensible practices. We hope that the Naval Committee will receive fuller infor mation in regard to Hanscom than its mem bers appear to possess beiore they report in bis favor. f° We do not blame tbe prominent 5uwtmlsVillfn0US, S'an'lerS °n are written Republicans who have person,. gratify. It is only human nature." ma iC° t0 The State Fair.—The Kennebec Jkumal says that the Trustees of the Stale Agrieultur. al Soc.ely will hold a meeting at Augusta to night lor the purpose of deciding where the State Fair shall be held. The Journal claims that Augusta will be th# place selected for the exhibition.

Onr tVriltri Coneetlm. TJ-S We referred a few days ago to the progress which is made on the railroad from Bradfotd to Claremont, being on the line of road be tween Portland and Rutland, via Rochester, N. H. The following particulars will be in teresting to the friends of the great Western connection: The railroad from Bradford to Claremont, which has just been put under contract, was chartered as the Sugar River Railroad, and is not the Concord Claremont road, but is designed, to connect the latter road with the Sullivan road at Claremont. The road is di vided into 22 sections, 01 different lengths, and is a lew rods short of 30 miles in length. Bonnallic, Reed, Parker Co., have the road between Bradford and Newport, except three sections. Floyd Moore have the Summit Cut, which is included in sections 9 and 10. vv. W. Holmes has one section or more, con tingently between Bradford and Newport. Patrick Manly Son have the three western sections at the Claiemont end. Wilkins Perry have some of the sc ct ions immediately beyond Newport towards Claiemont. All ol these contraciors will commence work on their several sections at once, so that a'l parts of the road will progress together. Now that it is settled that the Sugar River road is to be built, we understand that cx Govcrnor Page, of Vermont, is making an earnest effort to secure a speedy connection of the Rut laud road with it, and a survey has been made of the proposed link, which when built, will open a new connection from this city with the New York Cential, and the On tario road now building. “Passengers for Saratoga will take the Claremont cars,” may be a familiar sound from conductors in loll. ticacral News. The Standard sayt, ironically, that Tilton and Hastings have chosen seconds for a duel. The McFarland trial was enlivened by a sort of literary analysis of a magazine article in order to see how much of it was sense and how much nonsense, and whether McFarland orfcFitz Hugh Ludlow was responsible for the former. The counsel for the prisoner sought prove that the article as originally written by their client was incoherent and the work of an insane man. At the same time in another court a charge of iusanity was based upon the fact that the person in question had written a Mr. Mousel), the .Under-Colonial Secretary, explained that a compromise on the Red River difficulty had beeu affected by tbe introdnetion into tbe Dominion Parliament of a bill creat ing the Province of Manitoba. He stated that Canada would retain all tbe public lands of the new province, with the exception of 12,000 acres to secure its debt. The present is emphatically an eta of bank robberies. Scarcely a week has elapsed for a year past without bringing us an account of the robbery or attempted robbery of some moneyed corporation. New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago, together with Rockland and many other minor cities and villages have suffered at the hands of these bold marauders. Balaton Spa is t ho last place to suffer. On Wednesday night robbers forced the doors ol tbe National Bank there, blew open its large safe, and were preparing to make off with the contents, when they were disturbed by outside noises. One of the officers residing close by was fortunately awakened by the explosion, or we should have had to chron icle the disappearance of another hundred thousand dollars, more or less, of specie, gov ernments, and other securities. A special dispatch from Wilkesharre, Pa., says:—“A terrible conflagration is now raging along the line of the Wilkesharre Mountains, extending from this place to Clark’s Green. It originated, from some nnknown cause at White Haven, on the line of the Lehigh Val ley and Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroads, and its fearlnl progress has proved irresisti ble. The entire population are out fighting the flames, hut thus far their efforts have been futile. The loss along the route must be very heavy. Accounts already received report the destruction of millions of feet of lumber and cord wood and miles of fence; nine dwelling houses, seven barns, a large steam saw mill, and considerable other valuable property. Nothing short of a heavy rain will extinguish this immense fire, which threatens devastation to everything in its coarse. Rev. Frederick Fremont Lovell, pastor of the Universalist Church in Essex, Mass., is accused of gross licentiousness, and is reported to have left his parish and the town, under threats of a coat of tar and feathers. The King of the Belgians has commuted the capital sentence pronounced against Des souc-le-Moustier into hard labor for life.

According to Lc Gualoig, the greit steam navigation companies are not too well satisfied with the results of their use of the Suez canal. The Iinperatrico, belonging to the Messageries Imperials, sustained damage during her pas I sage. Three blades of her screw were broken. The Stnyrne, belonging to the same company, met with a like casualty. The Europe lost two blades of her screw, the Hooglily also two blades, and the Atrique fhree blades.

Thirty or forty years ago it w is tho fashion to administer powerful purgatives as “spring medi cines." Terrific doses ot salts ami senna, calomel and jalap, or glauber salt were given to all tho members of a family, whether sick or well, by way I of preparing them for the warm weather in pros pect. This pernicious custom is nearly obsolete, but there are some old Bourbons of private 11 le, incapable alike of forgetting anything or learning anything, who obstinately cling to it still. Nothing ccubl be more pernicious, mors utterly unphilisoph ical, than such au onslaught on the vigor and elas ticity of the system. In order to onablo the physi cal structures to resist the enervating effects of spring damps and summer heats, it should be toned and reinforced, not relaxed and weaxened. The best medicine agent for this purpose is Hostetler's Stomaeo Bitiers. Its effect is to tone ihe stomach and liver, gently relieve tho bowels from obstruc tions, brace the nerves, improve the quality of the blood, stimulate the appetite and cheer the spirit*. In this improved condition the organization is capable ot resisting unhealthy influences, which would prostrate au cnteebled system, a vigorous digestion is abs lutely essential to h*atth,and there is no danger ot the stomach tailoring or tailing in iis important otfice ii this gtnial vegetable elixir is taken regularly as a stomachic. None ot the tonic tincturesor extracts will supply the pla a of «lie astringents only. In tact, In ordinary practice, five or six prescriptions would be required to produce separately, tbe beneficial results, which are effe- te«l simultaneously and harmoniously by this single specific.

Debt on bond. The parties reside on Orr’s Island, in tho town of Harpswell. Sometime in 18C5 the plaintiffs, who were then between tbe ages of seventy-five and eighty, conveyed the r farm to their son-in-law, Ephraim,Johnson, and in consideration therefor received from Ephrai m a bond in the penal sum of $2009, conditioned to maintain them and each ot them daring their lives in the manner and style lu which they had been in tho habit of living, and to provide a homo for Patience Orr, the daugh ter of the plaintiffs, as long as 6he shall remain single. Plaintiffs allege that In 1869 the bond was lost, and from that time Johnson refused lected to provide anything tor t.V u; they were obliged to ca’1 i i v Poor ot tho tn»" |u‘ cl Jit- '.v u bond i r,h«fc uIff j a hr n,v i tffcrv j ivn fit1 .v «i Ascription and by the city. The farmers in the vicinity of the city are complaining of the drought. They say the strawberry plants are dying for want of rain. Asparagus has come. Saturday was a bright day, but the wind wa» Gold and piercing and the dust was dense and suffocating as usual. We understand that the one or two watering carts that have put in an appearance have been forbidden to take water from the new lijdrants, as such a proceeding is Contrary to law. F. O.Bailey Co. sold the two and a half stoiy brick house No. 63 Winter street on Sat urday last to J. C. Procter, Esq., for $0700. Hoops for kneeling communicants in church that allow the skirts to ho gracefully arranged are the latest wrinkle of fashion. The latest feature in journalism i« publish ing the names of newly admitted church mem bers. The drought perchance is over. It com menced to rain about 8 o'clock last evening after a cloudy, raw day, the thermometer standing at 63 Sad Affair—A man accidentally, and proha' ably fatally, shot.—On Saturday afternoon tlio brig Canima, C'apt. Coombs, arrived at this port f">,n Hava"'* "'"l went to her dock at Union wharf. The crew wont off up town and one of the men, named George Bicker,returned about nine o’clock with somo purchases he had made. He went into the cabin where the Captaiu was keeping ship, and showed his purchases to him, which included a revolver, at the same time saying that he had returned the cartridges he bad first bought for the pistol as they did'nt fit. The Captain said, “let’s see your revolver,” at the same time asking .if it was loaded, and receiving in answer (as he un derstood) in reply, that it was not loaded, al though Bicker says he said it was loaded. As the Captain took the pistol he cocked it, as it is customary in loading breech-loading revov ers, turning at the same time, as he supposed, away from Bicker. By some unaccountable accidentjust as the captain cocked the pistol, it exploded, and Bicker, who the captain sup posed was out of line of the weapon, appeared to be directly iu front of him, in a stooping pos ture, and cried out, “Oh God! captain, you have shot me.” The captain immediately placed B'cker in a chair, helped to get his clothes off and examined the wound. He then told Bicker he must go for help. Bicker beg ged him not to leave him,fearing that he might die beiore tht captain’s return, hut the captain told him that he must have somebody there for they two were alone in tl>e vessel. The cap tain ran up street and into a store where he begged the people to send a physician and po liceman, and then went back to the brig where he found Bicker had got into his berth. No one coming, the captain went on deck and hailed an old man and his son who lr.e then saw on a small boat near by, and begged them to come on board, telling them he had shot a man.— They came and heard Bicker’s story, who said that he had been accidentally shot by the cap tain, and then the old man went and got the police aud a physician. The latter probed the wound but could uot find tbo bullet (the man was hit in the abdomen just by the navel) and desired a consultation with other physicians.— They were procured, and decided to convey Bicker to the Marino Hospital. The physi cians were Drs. French, Le Prohon and Chad wick. At tho time of the removal Bicker com plained of a slight chill and some pain. Yes terday morning peritonites set in and the pa tient’s pulse was up to 130, and the physicians gave as their opinion that he could not survive forty-eight hours. Bicker is about twenty years of ago and has a mother residing in Ban gor. Capt. Coombs is from Islosborougli, and is in deep distress over the melancholy acci dent and, in addition to the auguish of mind caused by this affair, received the sad news of the death of his wifo only a half hour alter the accident occurred. Arrest for a Threatened Assault.—Sat urday forenoon, officers Gribbeu and Cammett arrested A fellow by the name of M. S. McDon ald, for threatening to shoot a Mrs. Austin on India street. McDonald is the mate of a bark and went borne in a somewhat drunken condi tion and swore be would shoot his wife who was lying in the last stages of consumption.— Saturday morning he drew his revolver which was heavily loaded on Mrs. Austin and threat ened her life. He was lodged in jail and will he arraigned Tuesday morning. Preserve the Foliage.—Messrs. Hayes Douglass of this city have procured at the re quest of many of our citizens some iron boxes to he fastened to the trees for the use of birds. Wo trust that all persons who have trees in the vicinity of their residences will feel the ne cessity of procuring llio boxes, which arc easi ly attached by a screw, in order to induce a large immigration of birds to wage war upon the caterpillars and worms that strip the “For est City” of its loliage before the season it half gone. Sudden Death.—Mrs. Danielson, wife o Stephen O. Danielson, residing at No. 1 Stone street, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon of heart disease. Mrs. Danielson had been it poor health for quite a long time past, and yes terday, while iu the kitchen getting suppei ready, she suddenly fell close by the pan I n door, and when taken up life was extinct. I)r ceased was 70 years of age. David A. Wells lias written a letter or “Cotton Manufactures and the Tarifl" in re ply to the pamphlet prepared by Waltei Wells of this city. In the opinion of the Bos 1 ton Advertiser it is “not responsive to the es sential point” in the letter of the Portland Mi J Wells. _ The Maine Conference and Lav Repre i sentation.—At the Maine Conference at Au i gusta on Saturday the vote on 1 .y delegatioi stood 48 in favor to 37 against. Accidents.—On Friday afternoon as two men named respectively Wm. McDonald and McGann, were carrying a large pile of iron bars to charge the furnace, as it is called, at the Rolling mills, McDonald’s foot tripped, bringing so much weight upon McGann that he could’nt keep his hold, forcing him to let go,and the bars fell upon McDonald with great force, one of them striking him in the groin, inflicting a dangerous wound, while McGann’s hand was jammed and badly cut. A physician was called, who gave McDonald the best of treatment, and it is hoped that ho will recover. On Saturday a workmen named McCarty, at the same place, had a bar of iron fall upon him, breaking his under jaw. A physician set it and he is now doing nicely. The other evening a little girl aged ten years, daughter of Thomas Carr, residing at No. 22 Winthrop street,while at play with sev eral of her young friends in the yard fell and broke her collar-bone. It is a hard caso for the little girl was already a sufferer from hip-dis ease. She is fast mending from the late acci dent. Runaway —On Saturday afternoon a horse, attached to a nice buggy, took fright on Con gress Street and ran away. He turned down Preble Street, and in turning from Preble into Cumberland Street the buggy was upset and made a wreck. We failed to learn the narno of the owner of the team. J. B. Webb, County Supervisor, assisted by Prof. Cruttenden will hold Institutes at Bridg ton, Gray and Falmonth this month. The In stitute at Bridgton is on Friday and Saturday the 13th and 14th inst. Serious Illness.—We are very much griev ed to hear that Aldermen William Curtis of Ward 1 is lying dangerously sick of congestion of the lungs at his residence, No. 0 Eastern Promenade. Miscdlaneaua Notices. New Firm.—We would call the attention of our readers to the new engineering firm of Greene Danforlh, No. 74 Middle street. Mr. Greene is well known to us, is a graduate of Harvard College, where ho attained high honors,and is a gentleman of ability, not only in his profession but in many other departments of science, and those in want of tho services of a civil engineer cannot do better than to call upon this firm. Clothing Store.—Mr. A. 8. Fernald, son of the late Mr. J. E. Fernald, will open a first class tailoring establishment on Wednesday next at No. 91 Middle street. Mr. Fernald was for a long series of years associated with his father as the leading tailoring establish ment of this city, and we have not the least doubt that the hosts of friends of the old firm will rally to the support of the new one. We wish Mr. Fernald all the success ho so richly deserves.

Young Ladies’ Preble Chapel Fair.— The Fair that will bo held on Thursday after noon and evening under the auspices of the Young Ladies’ Circle connected with the Preble Chapel will be every way worthy of a liberal patronage. These young ladies have labored very earnestly and zealously in prepar ing a very large and fine variety of useful and fancy articles to offer their friends and the public. The proceeds are to be devoted to wards the payment of the new organ recently placed in the Chapel. We trust our citizens will be prosent with well filled purses and empty their contents in behalf of this noble Christian charity. There are a large number of persons connected with the two Unitarian Societies in this city that are entitled to praise for the interest they have taken in the Preble Chapel, and much good has been accomplished by this little church. Let all remember that they have an engagement their next Thursday and a p'easant occasion it will be. Candy. Sweets to the sweet.” Perhap3 our readers would like to know something about candy making and the extent to which it is carried in this city by one of our enterprising confectioners. We took a glance into the establishment of L. J. Perkins Co., on Congress Street, last Saturday, and were surprised at the amonnt manufactured daily. Passing through the shop we entered into a large room at the rear of the building where in one corner stood a large stove on which was placed a large cauldron filled with liquid sugar undergoing the preparatory process. Close by stood a long marble-topped table on which the melted sugar, when sufficiently cooked, was poured, and then underwent a knead’ng pro cess until it was in condition to be pulled. Then a workman taking it np threw the mass, some forty pounds in weight, over a hook and commenced pulling, continuing until the can (If flllffip.IAnt.lv nr hit. a nrlmn hafnra a 1 i it In charcoal fire, and the nrocess of working the colored candies in the mass gone through with. Then it was rolled out into long sticks which were placed on a snow-white wooden table and these sticks in turn cut into shorterones and placed in bundles all labelled. In (his one room 350 to 400 pounds of sugar are daily turned in candy. Upstairs we saw the higher branches of the art delineated in the manufacture of raspberry drops, chocolate creams, etc. Molds are made of corn starch and into these liquid sugar is poured and the molds on them set in the dry ing closet, which is kept at a high but even temperature, where the drops crystallize. It may not be uninteresting to know that over 600 pounds of sugar are daily turned into candy of all kinds in this establishment, and that ten men and a large corps of girls are kept con stantly employed. A splendid Concord wagon, drawn by four elegant horses, has lately been put on a travelling route that embraces the whole State, by Mr. Perkins, while he has other wagons constantly supplying the adjoin ing towns. His candies have become justly celebrated, since they aro made of the very best materials and contain no deleterious in gredients.

It loosens the hold of the dirt without injury to the clothes, and sc lessens the labor that washing machines are thrown entirely in the shado. We learn that its enterprising Proprietors have the novel method of introducing it by selling the Iteeipe for making to families, hotels, &c,, through t Agents, in order that its advantages may be more generally adopted. The Richmond Disaster caused the death of sixty men and the serious injury of one hundred and fifty-three others. Not one in that crowded room who did not feel safe a mo ment before that terrible fall. Not one, prob ably, who conld not liavo been insured $5000 agaiust death or wholly disabling injury by ac cident, for $25 to $50 a year. Not one,so far as yet known, teas insured against accidents. The Travelers’ Insurance Company, of Hart ford, Conn., is the only company in America writing yearly General Accident Policies. It pays piomptly all just claims. It has paid Twelve Hundred Thousand Dollars in beuefits to its policy holders, averaging Seven Hundred Dollars a day for the six years it has been in operation. "Why not have nn Acci dent Policy!

A Bold Hand at the Helm, or Helm bold.—A paragraph has been going the rounds of the press quite recently, stating that Helm bold, the celebrated New York Druggist, pays the Tribune of that city over $10,000 per year for advertising. Helmbold’s business must be immense to enable him to pay such a sum of money to one paper out of some fifteen or six I teen hundred in which he advertises. By his judicious, but at the same time extensive ad vertising, Heimbold has made his “Buchu” and other proprietary compounds standard remedies in almost every household in the land; while the medical faculty, whose appro bation is never gained for a nostrum, not only recommend Helmbold’s preparation, but quite generally use them in their private practice. If some thousands of business men, wbo have been content to plod along in tho old fogy loot steps of their ancestors, who looked upon newspaper advertising as money thrown away, had but possessed Helmbold's sagacity and courage, they might, perhaps figure quite as largely in the income-tax returns.—New York Times. _ LATEST NEATS BY TELEGRAPH TO THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS.

rIIE PACIFIC, ARRIVAL OF THE fsusT STEAMER AT MAN FRANCISCO. San Francisco, May 7.—Steamer Idaho ar rived to-day from Honolulu, bringing tho first direct Australian mail. The Idaho connected at Honolulu with the steamer Wonga Wonga, from Sydney, and is full ef passengers, ffte prospects of the new line are good. The Idaho brings 140 passengers from Australia, nearly all cn route to England, and a very large mail from New South Wales and New Zealand. The latest advices from Sydney are of the 26th of March and from Australia of the 4th of Anril. AUSTRALIA.

MIDLAND BONDS Seven Per Cent. Gold, Free of Government Tax. ON THE First Mortgage Bonds OF A Railroad in New York State. the; New-York Oswego Midland Rail Road! Extends from New York Clfy to the City of Oswego, on Lake Ontario, a distance of 400 miles, including branches. The lino is completed about 150 miles from Oswego, and regular trains running daily. Rapid progress is making in the balance of the line, and the entire work will be completed at the earliest practiceable period. 1 SAFETY OF THE BONDS. There is no railroad bond offered upon the New York market which so clearly combines the elements ot PERFECT SECURITY and a HIGH RATE OF INTEREST as this: in proot or which assertion the following simple tacts are presented: 1. THE LOCATION OF THE ROAD, stretching irom tbe City of New York across tbe Northern part of New Jersev and the rich and itopulnus MIDLAND COUNTIES OF NEW YORK STATE, to the nearest port on the great Lakes, is such tbar. it must command a large through and local traffic from the moment it is opened. The Routefrom New York to Buffalo will be shortened seventy miles, and to Oswego torty-flve miles. 2. THE COST OF BUILDING THE ROAD about $40,000 per mile, and $20,000 ot that amount is necessarily fur niched by stock subscription betorc a dollar is used Irom the sales ot bonds, since tbe issue pt the latter is positively limited to $20,000 PER MILE OF ROAD BUILT AND IN RUNNING ORDER. OVER $6,000,000 havo already been paid in on stock subscriptions, 3. The mortgage bonds on every railroad running out ot New York City ate goou, and iuterest is promptly paid on them. 4. THE TOTAL INTEREST LIABILITY ol this great through route of railway between the Lakes and the Atlantic coast, 400 miles in length, will thus be only §560,000 per annum alter the wnoie line is completed. On the most moderate caicuia tions the average EARNINGS OF A SINULr. MONTH would tar exceed this sura. THE BATE OF INTEREST. Thp«> bonds nav seven per cent, in gold, tree ot Unit*tabes income tax. and this, with gold at 120, is eaual toabout 8 1-2 PER CENT. A YEAR No rational person could expect a SAFE INVEST MENT WITHIN OUR OWN STATE to be ottered on more liberal terms tham these. THE BONDS. The bonds havo 25 years to run; aro issued in de nominations ot $1,000; bear Seven Per Cent. Inter est in gold, tree ot income tax; are Coupon or Regis tered, with interest, payable semi-annually in New York, on the 1st of January and 1st ot July. PRICE: PAK AND ACCRUED IN TEREST.

Portland Publishing Co. AMERICAN COMMERCE NPISISOEC IION. JOHN LYNCH, in Tiie llonse »f Representative?. Mb. Lvttcii. Mr. Speaker, the commercial marine ot our country lias always been re garded as one of the chief sources of our power; oneof the mainsprings of our prosperity, and our most efficient means of national defense. As such it was watched and guarded with jeal ous care by the early statesmen of the coun try; and under the wise policy adopted by them with regard to it at the formation of the Government, and steadily adhered to since un der whatever changes of administration, it grew so rapidly than in little more than half a century we had placed ourselves in the very foremost rank cf maritime nations—standing in 1860 side by side with Pieat Britain and disputing with her for the sovereignty of the seas. The earnest discussion by the public press of all measures proposed (or restoring our commerce; tin- messages of flie President ai:d the reports of the Secretaries of the Treasury and Navy calling the attention of Congress to it; the appointment by this House of a special committee to investigate its con dition aud the causes of its decline, and to re port measures calculated to revive and restore it, attest the regal'd in which this great inter est is still held, and is evidence that although for a time neglected, while our distracted and shattered country was being reorganized and reconstructed, its importance has not been lost sight of nor its value underestimated. It would be unnecessary repetition to de tail all the causes of the decline of our ocean commerce, or rather the decadence—I had al most said annihilation—of our shipping en gaged in the foreign commerce ot the country and the world, these details having been min utely set (brill in tire report submitted with the bills under consideration. The fact that our shipping lias been reduced to its present deplorable condition through the unfriendly action ot a rival commercial nation at a time when we were not in a condition to defend it is loo deeply graven upon the American mind to he forgotten by the present geneia tiou. And the national pride inspired by the recollection of this fact will, I tiust, impel us to an effort worthy of a great people to regain our lost position, and that, too, with the least possible dependence upon that nation which lias for its own advantage despoiled us. T 1_1 i- i.1_1. A. 1__• _ ____A X taV-UV, V-j OU y tuuv IUV.1V. iO (t |tl J tlUIICOt feeling among the American people, confined to no section of the country, but pervading all classes and all parties, that our present po sition as a maritime nation is not only un profitable and Unnecessary, hut under all the circumstances positively disgraceful. And I believe there is a determination which will manifest itself in our action here when the measures now under consideration come to be passed upon to regain our power and pres tige on the ocean at whatever cost. The loss ot our commerce was our misfortune; our failure to regain it, if we do tail, will be our lault. I am aware that it is less difficult to ascertain the fact of the loss ol our shipping and point out the causes which have produc ed that loss than to prescribe and apply the means necessary to retrieve it. But I think I am 'sale in saying, and ail examination of the evidence taken by the committee will sustain the assertion, that there have) never been any important measures proposed to Congress for ifs action, affecting any leading interest in the country upon which there has been expressed such a unanimity of opinion among those having a practical knowledge of the subject as with reference to those under discussion. The testimony taken by she committee, and submitted to the House with its report, em braces t le evidence ol merchants, shipowners and shipbuilders, taken in four of the commer cial cities of the country, with letters lrom lead ing men of the same classes in all sections of the country, and also from American con suls at the principal commercial ports of the world, representing Republicans and Demo crats, protectionists and free-traders; and, as t i_ _vi j i s JL 1J t r. 0(1114} H4VI ty JO UOUl l J K Uiiuiniuoiio agreement oi' opinion that substantially such measures as have been proposed would, if adopted, accomplish the desired object; and that sucii measures ought to be adopted. The object ol the bill under consideration is indicated by its title, “to revive the naviga tion and commercial interests of the United Slates,and the justice and policy of enact ing it are perhaps as well stated in the pre amble as I can express them: Whereas, The mercantile marine of ilic country was nearly destroyed during (lie lute rohell’oii in consequence of the inability of the government to protect it, ami now while heating its share ot taxa t on his no such protection trom ittreigu compet 1 ion as is afforded to other great national interests amt industries, amt is there!,ire steadily declining; I amt whereas, the restoration ot our commercial marine, constituting as it does, one of the most, eIhcient means ol detenee in time of war, is ot great national importance and essential to the main tenance of our posiliou as a hrst-cliss power: 7> it enacted, 4fc. In order to secure these objects the bill pro vides for a drawback equivalent to the duties on all imported material used in the construc tion ot vessels built in the United States; and when American material is used in the con slruction of non vessels, the payment of an amount equivalent to the duties; the \iith drawd in bond of stores for consumption on voyages to foreign ports, and the payment of a small annual subsidy to vessels engaged in the foreign trade. It also provides by sec. 4 a tax upon all tonnage engaged in foreign trade. The provisions in the bill allowing a rebate or drawback of tlie duties on imported mate rial used in the construction of vessels, and providing for withdrawing from bond stores to be used by vessels on foreign voyages, are uialagous io those of existing laws as applied lo merchandise exported, and are the same as are in lorce in all n piitime countries except our own. An American vessel en gaged in the foreign tiade is the same as exported when she passes out of the coun try, and, although expected to return again, returns only as the foreign ship enters, to again depart. The foreign ship pays no duty upon her value on entering our ports,for the reason that it is merchandise which is to be re-exported. Tnere is no good reason why the same principle should not apply to the American ship when exported so far as to allow' a drawback on everything which lias been used in her const!uction and which has paid a duty. As the case now stands wc exact of the American ship-builder duties on all tliemateri al used in Hie construction of his ship, and al low' the foreign ship-builder to work up the same material, with foreign labor in a loreign country, and bring Iris vessel all finished into the United States free of all duty. It is true the vessel is, so to speak, to be reexported, but precisely the same as the imported mate rial which goes into the American ship is re exported when she first sails trom port for a loreign countiy. A simple statement of the case show's the advantage given to the foreign ship-buikler over our own, ami demonstrates the justice and the necessity for the applica tion of the drawback principle to vessels en gaged in the foreign trade. It also demon strates the great advantage ioieigners have over our own builders, and the reason why stdl further aid should he afforded. So, too, of ship stores’s. Every vessel, whether Amer ican or foreign, ou entering from a foreign country, is allowed to enter the stores which are to he consumed on board free of duly, and to retain a sufficient amount for consumption on its outward voyage. The outfit and stores to he used by an Arnei iern vessel on its voy age to a foreign country ought certainly to he placed on as favorable footing as those of a foreign vessel which arrives in an American nvirf fi’Am o favainn nniintiur I- --o j These provisions of the bill, as will be seen, place the American ship builder and ship owner upon the same footing,so far as build ing material and stores to he used on the voy age are concerned, as the foreign owner and builder is placed by his Government, leaving him to contend only against the cost of trans porting his materials and the disadvantage- of having to obtain them at a distance from the place where they are to be used, and the ad ditional disadvantage of higher priced labor in constructing and sailing liis vessels. To the builder of wooden ships this draw back of the duty on the material may be suf ficient, as he lias attained a knowledge and a skill in the arl of ship-building which enabled him before the war to build, if not absolutely the cheapest, the best slnps that sailed the ocean. With the iron shipbuilder I he case is different. He is inaugurating a business which is new to this country, but which in Great Britain has, under most favorable cir cumslanees, been brought to great perfection. It is the unanimous opinion of those en gaged in building iron ships that the plates and frames for such vessels can only be ad vantageously rolled and wrought near where they are to be used; that they must he made to order to save waste and labor, and that it would he expensive and inconvenient to send patterns to England to shape the frames, beams, and plates of a vessel by; that if the iren were imported in the crude shape it would require a larger outlay of capital to work >t in connection with the yards where the vessels would be built than could be com manded to slart a new and comparatively ex perimental business ot this kind. They are also of opinion that by the use of American iion much belter vessels can be built, with a reduced weight, of metal, on account of its su perior quality. As as illustration of the superiority of American iron aoJ its appreciation by the underwriters, Mr. John Tucker, the vice president of the Heading railroa 1, stated to the committee, at its session in Philadelphia, that one of the iron steam-colliers built for Ins company at Chester, Pennsylvania, while passing Hell Gate, New York harbor, last summer, struck a rock, cutting ten leet in h?r bottom. The vessel was raised and the in jured piece of iron plate was exhibited aud attracted considerable attention. In accord ance with their request, the piece was sent to the Lloyds underwriters in France as a speci men of the quality of American iron, and re sulted in a reduction of insurance on these vessels of from eighteen to seven aud a half per cent, per annum, a saving of ten and a halt per cent, per annum in insurance made by the use ot American iron. It was urged before the committee with great torce that by the use of American iron we should develop the business aud build up a class of vessels that would soon obtain a character for superiority of material and workmanship, and that, as in the case of the collier referred to, the insurance companies would discriminate in their favor; that Amer ican invention and ingenuity would be brought into play, and the same superiority in marine architecture would manilest itsell in the construction ot iron that was formerly manifested in constructing woe den vessels. Americans are ready to adopt new ideas, and are on the qui vice for the latest improve ments, while the foreigner Is apt to plod on in (he beaten path and resist all innovations. .There can be no doubt that we have in this country, at points proximate to our large nav igable rivers in the South aud West, as well as on the Atlantic coast, iron, coal, and tim ber that will, when these resources are fully developed, enable us to compete with any na tion in the building of iron or composite ves sels, and that it would be of great advantage to the country to encourage and secure the building of such vessels from American iron. In regard to the practicability of building this class of vessels on our western rivers as cheaply as they can be built in Europe, after the business has been established, I desire to call attention to the letter of John Flayer, of Philadelphia, who, my colleague on the com mittee [Mr. Morrell] informs me, lias had large experience in the iron business in Great Britain, as well as in this country. Mr.Player says, (page 20S of Report:) “It is chiefly ihe lack ot organization and the sit uations of the dilfereut establishments that prevent ship-plate iron being cheaply produced. Jt. is a tact beyond dispute that pig iron c in tie made as cheap, and coal can be oli'niued cheaper ou the t 111 i than on the Tees, in England. Why, then, cannot iron for ship-building be m ulo an t ships be bqilt on the Ohio at the same price by ton with American iron as at the Atlantic ports with European iron, even it no duty is paid on h? Simply tor want ot the or ganization used in England and the policy used in France.” The best locality lor building iron ship in Ihe United States will be touud to be ou the .Mississippi or Ohio rivers above Cairo; and the tit nation whvic iron tor building the same can be made as che >p as in England is on the Ohio.” But other questions may be asked. Can pig iron bs made on the Ohio and coal worked for converting it into ship-plates at the same price as iron and coal cos's in England? The answer is decidedly ye3. and scores cf places could be pointed out ou Ihe Ohio where pig iron can he made and coal de ivered quite as cheap as In England, and why this is not gener ally known could easily he explained, it necessary. I'his subject is one of the greatest national imp or tance, and should be investigated by those who ate interested in the prosperity ot the country before measures are taken which will only partially assist in improving the c ndi ion of ship-owners, and w hich can never satisfy the nation. With such etormous deposits ol iron ore and coal throughout tlio coun try in silual join most lavoable tor winking them. Is it policy to let them remain undisturbed and pur chase ships with gold from other nations, or emp’oy ea. ital at home in developing the resources ot the country, and give employment to thousands ot its inhabitants?” As an illustration aud confirmation of this statement, take the States of Missouri, Ala bama, and Aikausas, all having within their borders inexhaustible supplies of iron, coal and timber near the large navigable rivers. It is estimated that Missouri alone can sup ply one million tons of iron annually for the next two hundred years. Within the borders of that State is double the area of coal that is embraced within the kingdom of Great Britain. These States have not only this abundance of coal, iron and timber, but a fertile soil, producing cheap food and the material for cheap clothing. Nothing is wanted but labor, and that is flowing in with constant and ever-increasing volume. We have only to create a demand for this labor to bring it to us and locate it where it is wanted. It is easier and cheaper to bring or attract the labor to our country, where the land, food, aud material ate cheap and abundant, than to employ and feed the same labor to manu facture for ns in a foreign country. What folly to employ labor in a foreign country when we can so much more advan tageously plaDt it beside the raw material and employ it in our own. Coal has become one of the chief Cements of production, and our coal-fields exceed those ot all the rest of the world four-fold. No exhibit of the future power of the nations is more striking than the following estimates of their respective coal-fields: Square miles Of CO'lt. Belgium. Ji78 France. 2 000 Spam. 4,lOil Great Britain. 12,(00 British Provinces. 18,000 United States.lao.OlO The statistics furnished by our consuls, as seen by the report, show that the cost ol build ing in England has been reduced since 1800 nearly twenty per cent., and this rtotwith standing materials and labor are now some what higher than at that lime. The reduc tion is undoubtedly attributable to the expe rience acquired in the business. The differ ence in cost between building in the United states ana threat Britain is now moie tnan tliirty-thrce per cent; and I doubt not that with five years’experience we should entirely overcome this difference. The difference in the cost of labor is not very great, and more than one half of the cost is labor; for although we pay higher rates of wages we oveicome the difference largely by the greater intelli gence and efficiency of American labor—brains and muscle being combined here while in Europe they are separated. Mr. Morse says on this point, page 220 of iteport: ‘The labor of all grades and classes of artisans employed in the construction ol ships iu England and Scotland is cheaper than in the Uni-ed Slates, ranging in London from four shillings to seven shil lings sixpence per day, cn the Clyde one sDiliine less, and in the north ot England e»en lower. But this does notation! the English builder much it any advantage, because Ametiean mechanics perform rnoro labor inA given time than tbo same workmen do in this country,’' This is ill accord yritli the unanimous testi mony of ship-builders who appeared before the committee. Much of the labor in iron ships is machine labor,and this is as cheap in the United Slates as in England. The importance of introducing this busi ness of iron sbip-bui!ding into the United States is so great and the amount that it would cost compara’ively so trifling, that I hope the proviso which provides for the pay ment ot an amount equal to the duties on imported material wlieu American material is used will not be struck out, but that the sec tion will he allowed to remain as it now stands. I thiuk gentlemen who have not ex amined the subject specially will be surprised when the facts and figures are presented, to see the trifling cost at which we can establish this most Important branch of business upon a permanent basis, adding year by year to our merchant marine a class of vessels which will contribute incalculably to the wealth of the nation in peace, and furnish a most effici ent means of deience in case of war. The small annual subsidy provided for in section three of the bill to be paid to all American vessels engaged in the foreign trade trill 111) tl)nIT) llvirt nmirirlorl fnr Tit* 4n** on tlie tonnage collected under section four. This tax will be largely paid by foreign ves sels, particularly steamers, which have most of our carrying trade.

One of the proposed modes of relieving our shipping to some extent has been to abolish the tonnage tax altogether; but as we cannot exempt our own vessels from this tax without also exempting those of all foreign countries, our commercial treaties forbidding the impo sition of any other or higher tax upon foreign vessels than is imposed upon our own, the ex emption would afford us no relief. It is not a question of absolute, but of relative cost ol building, or expense of sailing, in competition with the ship-buildeis and ship-owneis of for eign nations that we have to consider; and it matters little what we pay so that all with whom we compete pay the same. By taxing all vessels, and paying a small annual subsidy to our own, wc incidentally afford an advau ffUTfi i A A fflril'lfaTl I'Accnlc iiltir.lv nmvi 1 inn cot no them to a certain extent for the increased cost of sailing and manning over that of for eign vessels.- The committee of ways and means have, as 1 understand, agreed to recom mend the exemption of coastwise vessels from tonnage tax, and as this class of vessels have absolute protection from foreign competition, they will, of course, support this proposition to relieve our foreign shipping, which has no protection whatever, particularly as it is done without any dralt upon the Treasury. Let us now glance at the rise and fall of our merchant marine, in order that we may fully appreciate the loss sustained in delaying its restoration. In 1830, our total tonnage en gaged in the foreign tiadc was 570,475 tons; in 1840, 899,705 tons; in 1850, 1,585,193 tons; in 1860, 2,546,237 tons; in 1861, 2,642,628 tons; au increase in three decades of more than three hundred and forty per cent., and in the decade from 1850 to 1S00 of more than sixty per cent. The increase in the tonnage of Great Britain in the same same three decades was about one hundred and fifty per cent., and in the decade from 1850 to to 1860 was about forty per cent. From 1861 to 1868 our tonnage had decreased from 2,642,628 tens to 1,565,732 tons, a decrease of forty-four per cent, while in the same time that of Great Britain had increased Irom 3,082,047 tons to 4,265,349 tons, au increase of neat ly forty per cent. Comparing the amount of freighting to aud from American ports in American and for eign vessels the result is still more startling. In 1850 our total imports and exports were $330,037,038, of which $239,272,084 was in American and $90,704,954 in foreign vessels. In 1800 the total was $706,288,550, cl which $507,247,757 was in American and $255,040, 793 was in foreign vessels. In 1869 the total was $870,443,284, ot which only $289,950,272 was in American, while $580,492,012 was in foreign vessels. In othGr words, prior to 1800 about seventy-five per cent, of our imports and exports were in American vessels, while at the present time we are reduced to thirty-three per cent, foreign vessels carrying sixty-seven per cent., of the exports and imports to and from American ports; and worse than all, our decline in this regard is so steady and so cer tain that it is only a question of time, and not a very long time either, when our merchant marine will be among the things that were,and we shall be entirely dependent upnn foreign ers to cany our merchandise and our mails,as well as for the facilities to travel to and from foreign countries I hold in my hand a freight circular of Me row /ell, Glasgow, from which I read: There are two startling facts that vividly bring bet>re us the anomalous position oi the American flag at present; first, that tlie amount oi American tonnage entered at ttio ports of the United Kingdom has decreased from 1,617,000 tons in 1SG1 to 310,000 tons in 18G9; second, the extraordinary tact that the immense steam traffic between the United Slates and European ports should be entirely mount olizcd by British and continental companies, who are (is it is evident from the ltrge additional amount of ton nage being constructed for them; determined to keep their hold ol the trade.” What have we lost and what ate we losing by this loss of our commerce? Let us see. It is estimated that the freights are on an average 8 per cent, of the value of the cargoes of ves sels. Assuming this estimate to he correct, our pioportion of the Ireights on our own ex ports and impoits in 1809, was $23,600,000, instead of $57,000,000, as it would have been had we retained the same per ccntage of the business that we had prior to the war; a net loss of more than $33,000,000 per annum. This difference not only goes to enrich foreigners and swell the balance of trade against us, but cenus directly to strengthen the naval force ol our possible enemies,and thus necessitates the maintenance of a larger Navy of our own; as the naval force of every nation must in a great measure be regulated by that of other nations with which con dels may arise. And this leads ns to the consideration of another loss resulting from the decadence of our merchant marine which cannot be esti mated by any pecuniary standard, can neither be weighed nor measured, and yet is as real as the loss of character or credit to an individ ual; I mean the loss of national “prestige.” I cannot bet ter illusti ate this point than by quoting from a speech made by Mr. Laing in the British House of Commons, in 1807 upon the proposition to send the English mails to India by French steamers. He said: *'1 am not ono ot those who attach an exaggerated importance 10 what is called‘prestige.’ But when you come to a question like this, when all the steam ers that enter the ports ot the East, a nd which are employed iu conducting the correspondence and communication with all pans ot the East, aro seen to carry tha French lias, then 1 say there is nothing so dangerous to tlic prestige ot the English name as to have it supposed that French enterprise and French influence have pnponderence, and that the French flag has taken the place ot the English. There is nothing. 1 sm satitied, that tends so suieiy to keep up the name and influence ot England in liie East as ttie sight ot those splendid steamers coming and going with the regularity ot clock-work on the weekly, fortnightly, or monthly performance of their voyages.” Sir, lias not the great Bepublic, represent ing as it does all the nationalities of the world, conquering by Us moral power and influence rather than by force, an interest in maintain ing its “prestige” equal to that of any other nation? And yet our flag, emblem of our na tionality and our power, which ought to float on every sea and be displayed iu every port of the world, is scarcely to be seen in any, and is fast disappearing from the ocean. A cen tury ago the commercial enterprise of our people excited the wonder and the envy of the nations ol Europe, while the admiration of the friends of liberty in the Old World found expression in the glowing lauguage of the great English orator, as commenting upon our national enterprise, he exclaimed: “While wo 'ollow them among (he tumbling mountains ot ice, and behold them penetra.ing into the deepest Dozen reees-es ot Hudson bay and Da vis’s strait: while we look tor them beneath the Aietic circle, we hear that they have p'crced into Ibe opposite region of p>lar cold, that t.lipK are »u i c.r^tu uTiiTTr uteifczen fer pent ot the sou'll. Falkland Island, which seemed too remolc and roinauiic an object tor the grasp of national ambition, is but a stage and resting place in the progress of their victorious industry. Mor is the equinoctial heat more discouraging to them Ilian the accumulated winter of both the poles. We know that while some of them draw the line and strike the harpoon on the coast ot Alrica otheis run the longitude and pursue their gigantic game along tire coast ot Brazil. Mo sea hut which is vexed by their fisheries, no climate that i3 not wit ness to their toils. Neither the perseverance of Holland nor the activity of France, nor the dtxter ous and firm sagacity of English enterprise ever carried this most perilous mode ol hardy industry to the extent to which it has been pushed by this recent people, a people who are still as it were in the gristle, and not yet hardened into the hone of man hood.” Such was tlie character and prestige” of our country a century ago. To-day our ships of war are run over and su.ilt by the merchant steamers of Great Britain with as little cere mony as though they were Chinese junks. If there were no help for this condition of affairs, if in consequence of natural and insur mountable obstacles we were debared from participating in the advantages detived from commercial pursuits, we might submit with regret to our fate. But with natural resour ces unsurpassed^ with our country in the very highway of the commerce of the world, wash ed by two oceans, abounding in the material for constructing ships and freighting them, and with a population proverbially adventur ous and enterprising, we have it wiihin our power absolutely to control the world’s com merce. If we fail to do it we are unequal to and unworthy of out opportunities. JJUL, Sir, asiue irum any cuu&iuuiciliuji ui profit or of pride, a prudent regard for tlie safety of the nation should induce us to re store our shipping; and this consideration has always influenced the statesmen of all mari time nations to cousider this interest an ex ceptional one; to be fostered, not to benefit any special class, but as one of the most effi cient and economical means of providing for the common defense.” It has been said that “the Americans are a people that soonest for get yesterday,” but I cannot think wc have quite forgotten the value ol our merchant ma rine as an auxiliary to the Army and Navy during our late struggle for national existence; certainly those who were in positions to know the service rendered by this volunteer naval force (-luring the war fully appreciate its value. The President in his annual message, and agaiu in a special message, has urgently called our attention to its importance, and has con densed into a single paragraph, in his special message, an argument that ought to settle the whole question. He says: “Our Navy, at the commencement of the late war consisted ot less than one hundred vessc s, ot about one bundled and Ally thousand tons, and a lorce of about tight thousmd men. Wre drew from the mer chant marine, which had cost the •government nothing bur. which had been a source of national wealth, six hundred vessels, exceeding one million tons, anil about seventy thousand men, to aid in suppressing the rebellion.” The Secretary ot the Navy, in his annual report, speaking of tlio advantage which for eign nations had over us in the possession ot the large fleet of merchant steamers which we employ in our carrying trade,says: “Here, then, is a bcivy tonnage ot possible war vessels, larger than that ot our whole Navy on 1st January. 1SC8 ilad our mercantile mariue posset ed such lines at the breaking out of the late war we might, inst all of pfimitting the rebels to iutrcduco a vast amount 01 war maieiiul l-e'orc we could col lect tbe means to v>reicnl it, have quickly dosed everv w.mhtni jiott, A comparatively small force ot this kind, appropr.gt.ly armed and let loose on the ocean, under command of bold and intelligent officer.', would be a dangerous toe to the commerce ot any country. In giving up this field to the ocou patton ot other nations and yielding to tlitm the commercial advantages which naturally belong to our own position ami resources, we at tbc same time relinquish onr own w apo -s anil arm onr p. s sible enemies.” And again: “There is another element ot defense against the time ol danger, perhijis as eiieeiive as any other available to wise and iitxral statesmanship- Na tions, like nun, hesitate to attack those who are prepared to do them serious injury, and in the means ot destructive aggression ts often found the surest dclenco against all who have anything tolose. Such a means would le at hand if v. e had lines ot ocean-going steamers estat listed running out of onr ports in tho pcacclut pursuit of commercial ctilcr pnse, hut carrying our own 11 ig and available 1o our government in time oi need.” Take now tlie statement of Admiral Porter, probably the highest naval authority in the country, and who jlias had experience in the merchant service as commander of a mer chant steamship. In his testimony before the committee, which mav be found on pages 183 to 193 of its report: “It the United Stabs possessed tie steamships plying between New York and Europe fit gotienr nietit would have a better navy than it ever had. There was not a ship in the .Lu erican navy that could compare with tlic best sl ips on the English and French lines in poiut ot speed., stability, or for carrying guns. All those visa's could he fitted with masts in a Vety shore time amt rigged completely. It the United Mates had possessed halt the Lumber ot steamships now eng ged in the European trade with New York lie did not think the rebels would evtr have got out a hale ot co'ton troai a southern port,and would have had lo submit long before they did.”—Page U3. In making litis statement Admiral Porter calculated upon sixty of these first-class for eign steamers as the number running to and from Yew York, when in fact tbe actual num ber is nearly double that, so rapidly have they increased. Again, on page 184, to the question— “I understand you to say lliat if at the commence ment, of the late war we li-ul thirty steamers like lite-o uinning fc» Nev iork from Kurope, they would have been :.s efficient as onr entire Navy”— the Admiral answers: “Twice as efficient. I say. rttat without hesitation. The ships we had could catch nothing. We never hail a veissl that coulu run down a blockade-run ner during the whole war except the Vanderbilt and two others. Our iron-clads arc only suit tide tor hatbor defence. In case oU war with Great Britain or Fiance our power would bo in cutting up their commerce. Great Britain could not stand'a war six months with a fleet of vessels that we would send out after her vessels. They would break her up root and bram-li; auu that kind ot warlare would be more likely to bring about peace than fighting with iron-clads or heavy war vessels The amount appropriated from 1850 to I860 for the Navy was $7:1,000,000. One third of this amount appropriated in aid of the mer chant steamship service, would have establish ed and maintained a hundred such steamships as those described by Admiral Porter, thirty of which he declares twice as ellicient as our Navy at the commencement of the war. Who can estimate the miilioas of treasure and the thousands of lives that would have been saved if this naval appropriation had been thus di vided and applied? It would he folly to mourn over the past, hut still greater folly to neglect its liard-learu ed lessons. What is the present application of our dear-bought experience? Our naval force is that of a lifth-rate Power. It ought to be second to that of no nation, for upon it we must rely mainly for our means of defense in all our future wars. We have no powerful continental neighbors against whose encroach ments it is necessary to keep up a large stand ing army. Our policy is to engage in no wars of conquest; but, conceding to all nations their rights, stand always in a condition to maintain and defend our own. We cannot expect ex emption from future wars, hut we may lessen our liability to them by keeping ourselves in such a condition as to make it dangerous for other nations to encroach upon or to attack us. Another reason for keeping a respectable naval force is the necessity for furnishing pro tection to our citizens, who travel more than those of any other nation to all parts of the globe. E,cry American should leel that he cannot travel so far as to gel beyond the pro tection of his Government. Such is not the case to-day. The citizen of Great Britain or of France is protected in his rights everywhere. nowhere except at home. And however we may increase in wealth, however much we may develop our internal resources and com merce, our condition in this regard will notbe improved until we re-establish our power up on the ocean and maintain upon it an armed police capable of affording such protection to our citizens as will secure to them their rights in all parts of the world. To maintain in peace a navy equ:.l to the demands of war would involve a large and un necessary expense. That the Navy proper should be more powerful than it is, and that it would be real economy to make it so, Ida not doubt. It should approximate more Dear ly to those of other first-class Bowers. The navy of Great Britain has more than four times the effective force of our own, and the amount annually approprialed to it is more than fifty million dollars. She has not only this powerful navy, armed, officered, and equip ped to the highest degree of efficiency, but an immense commercial marine, which is the most valuable contingent to the actual navy, and the best portion of which could at any time, like a well-ordered militia, he called into operation to sw'ell the ranks and add tenfold to the efficiency of the regular service in case of war between her and any maritime Power This immense contingent naval force of more than two thousand steamers, many of them ol the largest class and engaged in foreign com merce, supply one hundred and sixty-foui lines, and is supported by tlie nations whose business they perform. We support one huu dred and seventeen of this fleet of foreign sbcuiucra ui uu jurgtsi class wuil our ousiness, and pay for maintaining this part oi the naval lorce of foreign nations nearly double the amount which ws appropriate for our owu Navy. It lias long been the policy of Great Britain to connect herself by these lines of steamers and by postal arrangements with all parts of the world, thus increasing her trade and wealth, and at the same time providing a most economical and efficient naval force. The importance which the statesmen of Great Britain attach to their commercial steam ma rine as a source of profit and of power may be learned from reading the debates in the House of Commons in 1SG7 on the proposition to employ the French steamer to carry the mails to India, alieady referred to. Air. Crawford, free-trader as he is protested in the interests of commerce and of the coun try agaisnt sending the English mails in the ships oi any foreign country, and declared that it would be carrying the principle of economy too tar; that such a course would be “free trade run mad;” that in case of any difficulty with the nation upon whose vessels they de pended for carrying their mails they would be placed at such disadvantage as to endanger the safetv of the nation; that“ it was too much to expect that the interests of this country, commercially, socially, and politically, should be made to depend upon the good will of any foreign Government whatever,” &e. Contrast the policy of the English Govern ment with our own in this regard,dependent as we are entirely upon foreign steamers for transporting our mails. In the same debate, speaking of the services of their ocean steam ers in case of threatened or actual war with other nations, Air. Crawford said: “The French have s:en what the Peninsular and Oriental steamers y another company In the ‘Trent’ affair, we kunv how ten thousand men were sent out to' Canada by the Cuuard line of steamers and other vessels almost at a day’s notice.” This last fact is one that the American people ought never to forget; but, keeping it fresh in remembrance, n solve that the princi ple of econoif^shall never again be carried to such an extent as to leave us entirely at the mercy of any foreign nation. It is true econ omy in a nation to avoid war by keeping con stantly in a condition to resist aggressions. The maintenance of an army and a navy in the price which a nation pays for its inde pendence. As I have endeavored to show, our main reliance for defence must be upon our Navy; and the most economical as well as the most efficient navy, that which add3 to the wealth as well as the power of a nation, is best secured threngh its merchant marine. Upon this point 1 quote Admiral Porter again, on page 192, in answer to the question by Mr. Judd: It the govern men t should enter upon this system of subsidies liow would it affect naval estimates? He sail: “It would sive the government millions at dollars iu case ot war, because 1 do not want better sbips than those steamships are; amt then they are kept i i order all the time. ‘There is not a ship running on tliosc lines that is not put into thorough order whenever she comes Inro port. We can take such sliipj, run bulkheads across them, and fit them for private ers in a week.” The naval appropi ialions for the last four years exceed in the aggregate 809,000,000, about one-third the amount which Great Britain has appropriated in the same time— certainly not extravagant for a nation of forty millions of people, having a line of gea-coasfi: ot more than live thousand miles, and border ing on the two great oceans of the world. If we had increased the appropriation thirty per cent, we could have secured the construction ot a larger and more efficient merchant ma rine than we ever possessed. If our necessi ties absolutely compelled us to limit our ap propriations, then by applying one-third of the appropriation actually made we could have done the same thing. oupjiusc nibu-uu oi 5>oy,ouu,uuu we nau ap propriated $45,000,000 to the Navy proper, and $24,000,000 in aid of our merchant ma rine. The $45,000,000 would have kept the Navy intact, and the $24,000,000 would have provided a fleet of sail and steam vessels with a naval reserve of seamen worth many times our present Navy for national defense, Ap plied exclusively to steamers it wouhl have aided iu constructing, under the aid afforded by this bill, 100 iron steamships of 3000 tons each and paid a subsidy toward maintaining them of $3,700,000 per year. Can there be a doubt that such a fleet of vessels would have more than repaid the Treasury for the expenditure, to say nothing ot the addition to onr naval strength. And is not an appropriation in aid ol building up such an auxiliary naval force as legitimate as when applied directly to the Navy proper? Can the fact that the govern ment is relieved of all the expense of taking care of and sailing these vessels in time of peace be urged as an objection as long as they are entirely at its command in time of war? Having demonstrated what might have been done by a judicious application of the means appropriated, let us now consider what may be douein the future if profited by our past experience and the example of other nations we adopt a wise policy. Having con sidered the value, the necessity of an efficient merchant marine, let us now estimate its cest. The entries at ports of the United States from loreign ports in 1869 amounted to 8,750,302 tons of shipping, of which 5,347,004 tons were foreign and 3,402,668 tons American ves sels. In 1061 the total was 0,241,271 tons, of which 2,217,471 weie foreign and 5,023,917 tons were American vessels. It has been es timated that 09 per cent of the registered ton nage ot the United States is engaged in the carrying trade between foreign nations. As suming this statement to be correct, this part of our sbippiug—939,652 tons—probably does not enter our ports more thai once a year. '1 he other forty percent.—626,568 tons—prob ably averages four times a year, a large por tion of it being in the West India and South American trade. According to this estimate ill* wwl* wonW 1)6 0.3 follows Tons Tons. 939,852 rntering once a year.939 851 0.6,568 entering tour times a, year.2,506,175 1,566,420 total entry of American tounage.. .3,446,124 Of the foreign shipping 250,811 tons are steamers which enter on an average six times a year, making 1,504,866 tons entering and clearing. The 1,269,790 tons sail shipping probably averages three entries each year. According to this estimate the foreign ton nage engaged in the carrying trade between our own and foreign countries stands thus: Tons. Tons. 250,811 steamers entering si* times each year. 1 504,866 1,269,790 sail vessels three, times a jear.... 3,8x9,970 1,520,601 5,314,836 It will be seen that an addition to our mer chant marine of 1,269,795, tons of sail and 250,811 tons of steam vessels would suffice for doing our own carryiug trade. To build this amount of tonnage oDe quarter of iron and three quarters of wood, under the provisions ot the bill now under consideration, would cost nearly as follows: 952,342 tons wood sail vessels.|7,018,736 317 447 tons iron sail vessels. 5,714,046 200,818 tons first class iron steamships, at §27 per ton. 6,771,897 Making a total of...$20,104,679 There are nine firms in the country prepar ed to engage in the building of Iron ships, jiroviding the bill now under consideration becomes a lav. These firms have been rep resented before the committee during the pres ent session, and state that they could with their present facilities build on an average 0,000 tons each or 54,000 tons. Allowing three times the amount of wooden tonnage, 162,000 tons, to be built, and it would give us 216,000 tohs per year. Allowing for a reasonable in crease in the facilities lor building iron vessels and the total amount of tonnage 1,520,601 tons could probably be constructed in five years if required by the demands of business. If built in that time, the cost to the Govern ment would be in round numbers $5,000,000 per year; from which would be deducted $1,000,000 surplus received from tonnage tax, leaving but $4,000,000 per year. If wc deduct from this amount the $7,618, 730 drawback on imported material for wood en vessels, which we may properly do, as the vessels cannot be built without the remission of duties, so that there would be no real loss of revenue; and we have $12,485,943 to be paid out in the five years, or $2,497,188, less $1,000,000 received fiom tonnage tax, leaving but $1,497,188 per annum to be actually paid from the Treasury, and for it we should re ceive twenty first-class iron steamers averaging 2,500 tons each, 60,000 tons iron and 195,000 tons wood sail vessels. In view of the testi mony cited can any appropriation for the Navy be so well applied as this small amount for the merchant marine? Will it not add to the Navy even more than the entire naval ap propriation when applied to the Navy proper We cannot expect to carry all^our exports and imports in Ameiican vessels, but we can un der the provisions of this bill regain the per centago we had before the war, and compete on equal terms for the general business of the world. But it is objected that the payment of sub

sidiei Is the establishment of a new principle In legislation. Let us see boW this t9. There has been granted the western States and to corporations, for the development and improve ment of internal commerce within these States, more than one hundred and sixty million acres of the public domain, the common prop erty of the nation, and at the minimum price of $1 25 per acre, [a total in value of lands oi $200,000,000, and in cash or bonds, $64,000,000, making a grand total ot $264,000,000, paid di rectly from the common property and the common treasure or the country for develop ing the internal commerce of the West. In addition to this, ot the appropriations for river and harbor improvements of the $12,000,000 in 1866,1867,1868, and 18(39, $9,000,000 went to improve the rivers and harbors of the West, and $3,000,000 to sea coast improvements. Has not the government been bounteous in its bounties and lavish in its liberality to the in terior commercial interests of the country I rejoice, sir, that it has been thus liberal iu its subsidies to the internal commerce of the great West, and I rejoice, too, that the votes of the Atlantic sea-board States are to be found recorded in almost one unbroken affirmative for all these liberal grants. I rejoice that my •wn State, occupying the eastern extreme of the country, although retarded in growth and prosperity by the drain of its population to the western States, has, nevertheless, whether represented by Whigs, by Democrats, or by Republicans, voted lor all these liberal meas ures. And I know full well that the only reason why the large-hearted and generous West has not reciprocated this liberality of the East is for want ot opportunity and not ol dis position. Now, sir, can it be contended by any one that bounties paid to railroads located in certain States, the direct benefit of which inures to corporations and the indirect advan vantages of which are largely local, are more legitimate, more national in their objects, than those paid for building up the foreign commerce of the country If these railroads extended *o all parts of the country and were free to all, as the ocean extends to all parts of the world and is free to all, then the Govern ment aid to interior railways would in its na tionality more nearly approximate to that granted to external or ocean commerce. Sir, ob a great national question like that under consideration, a question rising far above any mere local considerations, rising 1 might almost say even above national con siderations, and embracing within its scope the interests of mankind, I should feel that I degraded the subject were I to appeal to any narrow sectional prejudices or interests for support. What is for the interest of any one section of the country is for tbe interest of the whole country, and what is for the inter est of the whole country is tor tbe interest ol world, because all the privileges, all tbe ad vantages, all the blessings which we enjoy are open and tree to all who will come and par Lake ol them. But I^cannotforbear calling attention to the probabilities that the South and West are to be more directly benefited by the reconstruct ed American merchant marine, which is to perform us part in the new commercial era which is now dawning upon the woild, than either the North or tbe East. Let us glance briefly at some of the great facts connected with the commercial revolu tion no# going on in the world. The open ing of tbe Suez canal, the construction of which was so long resisted by the sagacious statesmen ot England, and so wisely aided by tbe sagacious statesman who presides over tbe destinies of France, has been opened to commerce and has become an assured suc cess. The trade of the Indies, which former ly flowed through tbe Mediterranean, stud diDg it with populous and w'ealtliy cities and making it the empire of commerce, and which was diverted by the discovery of the passage via the Cape of Good Hope has returned, and now fl"tws with increased and increasing vol ume through its ancient channel. This change of tbe great current of trade from the East to the West has lettt Great Britain off its line and is destined to work as great a revolution in the ocean commerce of the commerce of the world as did the discovery of the passage via tbe Cape of Good Hope. It i will turn the cunents 01 trade of southern Europe which now run toward the English channel to the Mediterranean ports, whence it will flow east to tbe Indies and west to the United States. Great Britain has become the warehouse of tbe world by drawing to herself the products of all countiies, and either in their crude or in an elaborated form redistributing them. Bnl she cannot long divert trade fifteen de grees of latitude north out ot its natural coarse. I he trade of one hundred and eighty millions people in Europe will now nat- i orally seek an outlet through the Mediterra- neaii. The ocean routes to the north of Eu- rope are occupied. It would be unwise to try to wrest them from those in possession while more favorable and unoccupied routes invite our attention. We rre on the direct i iine of the world’s great current of trade from to west* 70ceol passing from thfi Mfcd- iterranean to the Atlantic has scarcely to i change her course a point to strike New i York. Between the thirtieth and forty-sec- i ond parallels ot north latitude arc embraced j the ports of St. Augustine, Savannah, Charles- 1 ton, Beaufort, Wilmington, Baltimore, Pliila- i delphia, and New York, and on the opposite j side of the Atlantic the entrance to the Medi- i terranean, now the great highway of the commerce of the world, while the passage to the Continent by this route is in the pleasant 1 latitudes, taking in the Azores on the voyage, i Cadiz is as near as Liverpool to New York, i It is our policy to strike for this direct trade i with the continent of Europe and with t India, divert it from Great Britain and bring it to ourselves. We thus tap the trade of j Spain, of France, of Italy, of Austria, of soutuern Germany, of Turkey, and of south- em Russia, as well as that of all the ports of northern Africa,from Morocco to Suez; and all this trade comes to us south of the forty- i second parallel of north latitude. The whole travel to and from the United States as far i east as New York, and to and from the conti- i nent of Europe and much of that to and from l Great Brltian, would soon follow this route in preference to encountering the dangers and i discomforts of the more northern passage. me present lines oi loreign steamers win un doubtedly continue to cany the trade and travel between northern Europe and tbe ex treme east of our own country, together with all that vast and increasing trade between those countries and the present British North American provinces, which are soon to be come a great and independent nation. Let us now turn our attention to other of tbe great unoccupied routes of ocean com merce, those which in the future are to he the most important of all—the routes bet ween our Pacific coast and the nations of the East. When we consider that these eastern nations, swarming with population, possessing the ac cummulated wealth of ages, presenting a field for commercial enterprise which ail maritime na :ions have tor centuries striven to possess, lie directly in front ot our western coast, with only the broad Pacific between; that on this side are the fertile unoccupied lands ready to receive this overflowing population, what mind can conceive, what imagination ever ex aggerate the possibilities of our future, if we have the wisdom to appropriate and improve tbe advantages which nature has so profusely placed in our pathway. A glance at a com parative table of distances between London and tbe ports of China and Japan, and San Francisco and the same ports, is sufficient to show the advantages which we possess as against the world in competing for this trade of the East: Miles. From London to Hong Kong, via tbe Suez canal. 11,070 San Francisco to llong Kong, steamer di rect.,C-3!!2 London to Shanghai, via Suez canal.10,469 San Francisco, direct.5,£55 London to Melbourne, via Snez canal.12,570 San Francisco direct. 7 9 0 London to Y Okayama, Jap in.11,509 San Francisco, direct—..6,990 But there are other advantaaes besides that of distance in favor of this direct trade be tween the American Pacific coast and the na tions of the East. This commerce is direct and natural, untaxed, unobstructed, and un obstructible; equally adapted to the use ol sail or of steam vessels—peculiarly favorable to sail vessels on account of the trade winds and ocean currents, which by the change of ten to fifteen degrees of latitude can be made favorable, either on the outward or homeward voyage. The navigation of the Red sea is dif ficult and dangerous to sail vessels. All ves sels passing by this route are subject to a tax, and the passage of the canal is liable to ob struction in case of a European war. The advantages I have referred to will, if appre ciated and appropriated by us, give us the control of the Pacific. It was said by one of the most sagacious statesmen of England that— “I'lie nation which coutrol'ml the commerce o! the world control cd the wealth of the world, and tluough it the world itse'.l I believe it may be as truly said that the nation which controls Jibe commerce of the Pacific controls the commerce of the world, and thereby controls the world itself. I know it may be said that water carriage is so much cheaper than land carriage that the commerce of the Pacific for this continent will seek the route via the Suez canal to New York; and so it will for the trade that is nat urally to be distributed from that port. But the question is, how far iuland west can New York distribute the imports of India in com petition with San Francisco and the ports in Oregon Certainly not west of the east line of Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota; probably rot so far West; leaving all that vast territory between those points and the Pacific directly interested in and connected with the commerce of that coast. Well may the Leg islature of California t instruct her Senators aud request her representatives in Congress to supportjthe bills for the revival of Ameri can commerce, and well may San Francisco send in her petition with the names of five thousand of her enterprising citizens pressing the same request. Look now at still another of the world’s great routes of commerce that is to be, that which is to he made by cutting the isthmus which connects South and North America and separates the Gulf of Mexico from the waters of the Pacific ocean. The construc tion of a ship canal across the Isthmus would R/i of imm/inon nrl onn f nuch immense cost to the nation is to be con rected with an ocean commerce, the raagni ,ude of which can scarcely be conceived of. rhe question for us to settle is whether we hall have such share of this ocean commerce is our commanding position entitles us to, or pursuing a Chinese policy surrender all to for iign nations. The rapid settlement of the Pacific coast, he development of the untold mineral and agricultural resources ot tne great and tortile rerritoties of the West, the reestablishment ot ;ivil governments, and the reorganization ot the labor and the revival of the idnustries of the Sonth, the breaking down of the barriers which for ages have obstructed intercourse with the people of the rich and populous coun ries of Asia, the dissemination of American ind European ideas and civilizations in those ountries, the opening of new and shorter ihannels of communication between thegreat ice an s of the world, are all harbingers ot the lawn of an era of the most remediable com nercial activity the world has ever known. 3ut in this commercial prosperity, American iccan shipping is to have neither part nor lot mtess We arouse uuroeives, ;ome of the wisdom and statesmanship ot the athers of the Republic in regard to this great nterest, place it under the fostering care ot he Government. No revival of the coinmer :ial business of the world, how ever great, can tid to restore or revive the ocean tonnage ot he United States unless we place it in a :ondition to compete for that business upon iqual terms with the tonnage of other pations, »y such aid as othpr Governments extend to heir merchant marine. If more ships are ranted, as they inevitably will be, the yards hat built the vessels which lighted the Atlan ic and Pacific with the burning hulls of American ships will furnish them, while the ;rass will be allowed to grow in the yards in which were built those specimens of naval irchitecture which w’ere once the pride of ivery American citizen. I rejoice, sir, that amid the strife and con licts of partisan warfare which agitate the country we can find one great national ques ,ion upon which men of all parties can unite; t question not partisan, but American in the noadest sense; a question which concerns our irosperity, our safety, our national pride, and iur national honor.
