body:
“ Considering that some of the gallant
defenders of our country who have been
captured in honorable combat with the
enemy have been seized as traitors

“ Resolved, That we view with liigl

Mr. M’K iin of Md. rose to ofl'er a re
solution, the object of whifeh was tn a*

nation. He suid be had long regretted
the want of it, bemuse he conceived it a
species of information very essential to,
those who conduct the concerns of- the
nation. Any one wbo attended to %|ie
course of the recent debate, on the loan
bill, would preeeive Ihe difficulty which
had arisen from wunt of it. Assumed

Inis not a correct knowledge of tbeir sit
uation ; and it would he equally impossi
ble for Congress duly to manage tile fis
cal concerns of the nation, without uu
adequate knowledge of its resources —
Under a couvietiou of the eones tnoss
d'this view, he submitted the following
resolution :
Resolved, That the Committee of
Ways and Means be directed to report to
this House some prat tieulile mode of pro
curing, at stated periods, an account of

natural products, agriculture, uud manii

SENTIMENTS OF KENTUCKY.
Mr. M’Kee of Ky. presented to the
House the following resolutions of the Lc
gislitturc of the commonwealth of Ketuc-
kv: . ,
I'lie Legislature of Kentucky, consi
dering the present us anputcrcstinn &, im
portant crisis, in the arduous contest iu
which we have embarked, for the preser
vation of the important and essential
rights of national sovereignty and inde
pendence, against the hijusitce, usurpa
tions, and continued aggressions of an im
periont and inveterate enemy oftimt sove-
cigntv and independence, which every
itizen of onr free and hajipy government
hould at all times be piepurcd to lay
down his life, if necessary, to maintain;
feel strongly impressed with the propriety,
on this occasion, of representing, as they
firmly believe they do. the utmost imani
uioiis sentimentsjofthe citizens of the state
which they represent; which are embodi
ed and expressed in the following resolu
tions :
4. RESOLVED,hy the Senate <§* House
of Representatives of the commonwealth
of R’ent xlcy. ’i hat we firmly adhere to
the General Government, and retain our
attachment to the Federal constitution,
w tlirhfa iuds ns together and with thefate
of which we combine that of our own ex
istence.
2. Resolved That we possess an nnu-
iiHted confidence in the present adininis
tr.'tion of onr national government, now
vested in the hands of an executive,com
petont to steer the vessel of state between
the vortex of domestic faction, and the
menacing rocks of foreign w ar.
3. Resolved, That the overtures of peace
made to tho British government by ours,
since the declaration of war,and the spee
dy acceptance of the prolfered mediation
of Russia, are irrefragibic evidences [if
any were wanting] of a sincere desire for
a restoration oft ha blessings of peace, on
the part of our own, and of persevering de
termination on the part of ihe British
government to continue what their iiyus-
liee aud usurpation first began, and fur
nish th our own government the most ir-
refragible arguments for a vigorous, ener
getic, and zealous prosecution of the
war.
4. Resolved, That llie restriction on
our commerce lately enforced by an em
bargo, is wise,expedient and politic, and
repay* privation and self denial, by pre
venting supplies of the enemy from oar
resoju ecs. We cordially approve the ad
option, and doubt the patriotism that lie
»iutcs to submit to the national sacri
lice.
3. Resolved, That when a member of
Congress shall not possess the virtue to
resist party influence ; when he shall
not have the iudependence to vote the dic
tates of conscious rectitude,and the will
of his constituents, so far as he has evi
dence of such will, he becomes unworthy
of the dignified station of the representa
tive of a free and enlightened people, &
