SPEECH OF HON JAMES L- SEWARD. OF GEOR-
GIA, ON CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIATION.
Mr. Chairman. I propose to consider to some
extent the present policy of the Administra
tion, in the same connection, to review, to some
extent, a portion of the legislation of the pres- j
ent session of Congress, and to show that the '
South itself, which always complains, through ,
certain of her Representatives here, of oppres- !
sion and injustice, is untrue to herself, and is 1
pursuing a policy ruinous to her prospects,
ruinous to her commerce, and detrimental to
her agricultural interests. There are a certain
class of gentlemen from the South who always
profess to economise, and who oppose every- I
thing; who, in face of the fact that gentlemen !
of the North have the numerical strength, and ;
yet, upon appropriations, are always fair to us, j
come so strongly up to oppose the interests of |
the South.
Now, Mr. Chairman, I desire to call the at- !
tention of Southern gentlemen to the character ,
and policy of their votes, this morning, affect- I
ing the navy-yard in my own district, at Bruns- ,
wick, Georgia, established by the last Congress. |
It will be remembered that I asked for an ap
priation of $300,000 to continue the works
contemplated by the act of 1857, establishing a
navy-yard there. The objection raised was |
that the work had been abandoned. Now, let !
us see bow gentlemen stand upon the record. i
Here are the appropriations for the repairs and ;
improvements of navv-vards, contained in this
bill:
Portsmouth $52,215 i
Boston 203,500 I
New York 269,516
Philadelphia 97,214
Washington 99.100
Norfolk 285,801 i
Pensacola 247,365 i
Mare’s Island 307,971 ’
Total $1,572,682
Now, I call the attention of the House to this
appropriation for Norfolk; and yet 1 believe
every member of the Virginia delegation, with
two exceptions, voted against the appropria
tion of $300,000 for Brunswick. The entire
amount appropriated in this bill for repairs, I
»ke., of navy-yards at other points is something ■
over one million five hundred and seventy-two ■
thousand six hundred and eighty-two dollars;
and yet gentlemen are not willing that even
$300,000 should be appropriated to continue '
this work.
Now, sir, why do 1 complain of the Admin
istration t Sir, with the great respect which -
J Lave for the Secretary of the Treasury—ami
he is a man whom 1 like, a man ot ability- 1 !
say that his policy, either from wrong opinions ■
or from having bad advisers around him, is
one, in m opinion, (though 1 am satisfied nut '
designed by him,) tending to crush out the in- I
terest of the South, and of the State from
whence he comes. 1 stated just now that the j
Administration by refusing to make appliea- j
tion of the money appropriated by the last
Congress, in carrying out the munificent mens- ,
ure of legislation to which 1 have alluded, ’
served effectually to strike down the interests '
ot the South. What does Mr. Secretary Cobb
say in a recent letter addressed to this House,
asking a loan of $15,000,000 ? He speaks of
the exhausted condition of the Treasury.— I
Now, suppose the money had been appropriat- I
ed that was in the Treasury on the incoming
of this Administration —a surplus of $17,000 ■
—to these works provided for, not only at i
Brunswick, but the several court bouses and
post offices w hich were authorized to be built I
in the Southern States? There was money
enough in the Treasury at that time to have
completed the whole id" them. I think the es
timate for the present year was only a little -
over one million dollars. That money should I
have been reserved, and appropriated faithful
ly to the purposes designated by Congsess in
its legislation. But the money is gone now, and
when you call on one of these Departments
and ask for the prosecution of these works,
you are told there is no money, nnd the work
cannotjirogress. But when they come tomake
recommendations for other portions of the 1
Lnion besides my own State, they ean recom
mend $1,500,000 for repairs of navy yards,
while they cannot carry out and expend even
the little appropriation made in the last Con
gress to continue the work in my State. Sir. 1
have the right to complain. I never go to the
Department to ask what 1 shall do.
Now, then, having disposed of my objections
to the Administration in that regard, 1 come
down to the policy of this House to show the
injustice of its organization. While 1 say it
with all Jrespect to gentlemen occupying a
high seat upon this floor, yet Mr. Chairman
from the time Congress became organized,
from the election of your Speaker, the great
object of inquiry was to know how much po
litical power could be brought to bear to favor
the Administration in power. Men were se
lected for prominent places on your commit
tees with regard to their political strength in
the country and selecting them from great po
litical centers. Sir, you ean have no healthy
legislation while such things are continued.—
Your Government has become morbid and
diseased, if not entirely rotten. Why, sir, it
is known that a few men in this House have
the entire control of its legislation and until
some power of disturbance arises, until the
members of the House will resist this kind of
arrangement, and break it down, they can nev
er have legislation that w ill be such such as it
ought to be. Why, sir, the committees are
raised for the purpose of carrying out the will
of the Departments. Why, sir, when I go
there in the morning, upon business for the
section of country from which 1 come, 1 find
these gentlemen so thick that the pavement
seems to be worn smooth by the frequency of
their calls.
It is high time. Mr. Chairman, that this ar
rangement was broken up, this continuation
dissolved, or else the country must suffer un
der it. W hen we are called on to pay a pri
vate claim, or a debt against the Government,
these gentlemen, resist the pay meat of either.
They legislate simply to provide the payment
of saleries to feed the party in power.
I do not complain of the Administration be
cause it has no money in the Treasury. Acting
under a policy generally agreed to at the ad
journment of the previous Congress, Secretary
Cobb devoted a large portion of the then sur
plus fund to tire purchase of the United States
debt. It is not this that I complain of, had
the laws of Congress been executed. The
__ - * = -* ~
My Tires!?..
trouble is, that the Administration Ims becoiue
alarmed at the peesent condition of commerce.
They ought to have sent in a message asking
tor s*>o,ooo,ooo at once, and not have irritutcii
the public mind by these constant applications
for issues of Treasury notes and authority to
obtain loans. The Administration is not re
sponsible because the importations under the
tariff are not sufficient to supply the amount
of revenue desired by the Government. The
financial cm barra»>ment which occurred a short
time since begat a system of economy in eve
ry quarter ot the I nion. Our people dimin
ished their expenses. There was a less de-
I maud for the goods which pay duties. Neces-
I sarily, therefore, the revenue became deficient.
■ Even under your tariff system, however, the
j Government is but a borrower. No party
| could have foreseen the panic, the suspension
’ of the banks and div general disturbance of
j trade and the monetary difficulties that occur
i red. lam willing to vote to give the Govern
-1 ment power to make a loan to discharge its
; debts ami meet existing wants; but at the
• same time I want it understood that the mon-
I ey appropriated is to be faithfully applied for
j the purposes directed by Congress. lam not
, willing that the Administration shall set up its
i opinion and will to override the law, and in
face of the people’s wishes.
The policy of our Southern friends is errone
ous. 1 repeat what 1 said the other day, when
the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr.
Branch J attempted to controvert it, that we
' of the South have but a tonnage of forty thou
sand built at the South out of the five millions
, belonging to the Union. How are we to have
a commerce, when you will not vote fora na
| vy yard, or to improve a harbor, or to keep up
I the mail steamer service, build a light house,
lor a light ship. I want to see Southern men
I come up to the support of the latter. The
I ocean mail steamer service ought to be sus
i tuined. While vessels are now sent from
| northern cities alone, let us start, as soon as
we can, steamers from the south. My word
I for it, from my intercourse with northern men,
I they will come up and divide with ns equally
| and fairly. We all have seen how they are
I disposed on the subject. When are we going
Ito have steam from southern ports? When
I are we going to have direct importation and
| exportation f These questions have been dis
cussed for a short while in the Southern Com-
■ mercial Conventions, but forgotten with the
■ adjournment until their next meeting. With
our rich products, why should we not have
speedy and direct means of communication
with Europe? Who stands in the way ? A
| set of extreme southern men, who belong to
I the do-nothing school, men who refuse to be
! come recipients of the blessings of the General
1 Government. lam sorry to say that the pres
ens occupant of the chair [Mr. Houston] is of
j that class.
The Chairman. The gentleman will let the
Chair answer that question himself.
Mr. Seward. You can reply when you get
| upon the floor. Ido Dot mean any reflection.
. 1 only think that it is a mistaken judgment on
1 the gentleman's part. While we receive $7,-
' 800,000 for the transmission of mail matter,
we are called on to supply a deficiency of ex
penditures over receipts in the I\»L Office De
partment of $3,500,000. Now, my opinion i.-,
that we can start lines of steamers from N\ w
York. Philadelphia, Baltimore. o >avannah and
Liverpool, which, with the revenue arising
thervlrom, will leave a deficiency notmuch ex
ceeding half a million. Is it nut w isc to do
that, and to have a general system by which
all portions of the country will be benefitted,
the North, the South, the and the \\ *
I 1 do not cure to make any extended remarks
| now . 1 had my statements of matters of fact
I prepared ami ready to speak some days age,
i but 1 failed to get the floor. 1 did not expect
! to get it to-day, and have not brought my >late
| incuts w ith me.
1 come to another point. I do not know
. what amount the South contributes under our
. navigation laws to the support of the North.
1 It i> a matter of complaint at the South that
,we du contribute largely. We always w ill do
j>o until w e become ship-bmlders ourselves. It
' is said that those laws ought to be repealed.—
' Suppose they are repealed ; would not foreign
j shipping come here, increase freights, and
' make the South still more tributary to them f
’ Subservience ot Southern interests to the North
' depends on our want of action. 1 believe that
1 the Constitution contemplates that the Govcrn-
I ment shall aid and facilitate such national ob
‘ jects. Yet, sir, whenever we talk about har
. bur improvements, or the establishment of a
! I'iie of we are met by the objections
of these Southern men. Gentlemen complain
ed that an appropriation to aid in the laving
iof the Atlantic cable was unconstitutional. 1
1 voted for that measure, and 1 am proud that 1
i did. It is, 1 believe, the greatest work of the
age. We have appropriated only s7U,oUotobe
paid upon the completion of the work, and not
until then, and 1 believe it was also limited to
ten years.
Well, sir, we have had a land bill up before
I this session of Congress, and it has been charg-
• ed by the gentlemen from Virginia as a spe
’ cies of extravagance. 1 voted to divide the
1 lands and 1 would vote for it again ; and there
’ is no constitutional objection in the way, be
cause the disposition of div public lands is le-
! gitimately within the scope and authority of
■ the power of Congress, under the Constitu
tion. Complaints are made upon the part of
; gentlemen from the South, that we are giving
the lands to the Northwest for building rail
roads; and yet when gantlemen from the
North proposes to divide out the lands fairly
to a certain extent for educational purposes and
the purpose of establishing agricultural schools
at the South as well as at the North, gentle
men of the South vote against it, and complain
that it is extravagant and in violation of the
Constitution. 1 hope the Senate of the United
States will pass that bill. lam willing to go
home to my constituents and defend my vote
on that bill as a just measure, especially to
those States which have not been individually
benefitted by these grants of lands for railroads.
1 believe, sir, that 1 voted for but one of them,
jI am not compl; ining of the policy. Ido not
i look at those grants as gilts by the Govern
ment. I believe that the principle of compen-
■ sation in those grants can be well defended;
and that when the Government doubles the
1 price of the reserved sections, she loses noth-
■ ing, and adds greatly to the wealth of the na
i tion by having the country settled along the
j line of the railroad.
And 1 will go further, and I will vote, if I
! have an opportunity, for a carefully guarded
' railroad bill to connect the Atlantic States with
I the Pacific ocean on the same principle. 1
shall not stop, whenever a measure comes up,
' to inquire whether it will benefit the North,
! the South, the East, ortho West. All 1 ask is.
that Congress shall deal justly to the section 1
represent; and when the Representatives of
the North coine forward and propose to do
that, 1 am ready to shake hands with them.’—
And if there were more of this kindly feeling
it would bury sectionalism so that it would
never have a resurrection. The great liinder
ance to legislation is, that a gulf is interposed,
almost impassable, between Northern and
Southern men. Their social intercourse is in
terrupted ; kindly feelings ami matters ot cour
, tesy are overlooked upon this iloor, because of
• this strife and discord. There is a constant
MACON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1858.
murmuring here, upon one side or the other,
kept up on this account. I want to see that
feeling buried ; ami, as I said the other day,
when our northern friends took a step towards
recognizing the right and equality of the South,
I felt proud of it. ami proud in declaring it. And
while I say this. I say there is no man who would
go further in advocating the peculiar interests
of the South than myself, for 1 have always
been regarded as an extreme man. But we
have reached a point in the history of this
country when ail this sectional strife should be
blotted out. Controversy is now behind us ;
and God forbid that it should be presented
again.
We want peace ; we want confidence at the
North and at the South. And if you w ill
build up a commerce, and bring Northern and
Southern men into contact, wc will bring
about a peace, and the South and the North
will be heard no more as two sections of this
great Government. They w ill generously vic
with each other in improvinguur whole eoun
tn. and elevating this great nation and mak
ing it what it will and must be in the fu
ture.
Having said this much, and thanking the |
committee for its patient hearing, I w ill yield
the iloor.
AN EXCITING SCENE.
It was in the month of February, 1831, a
bright moonlight night and intensely cold, that '
the brig 1 commanded lay at her anchor inside i
of Sandy Hunk.
We had a hard time of it, beating about elev
en days oil'this coast, and the snow and sleet
falling for the most of the time. Forward, the ;
vessel was thickly covered with ice, ami it was i
hard work to handle her, as the rigging and
sails were stiff, and yielded only when the
strength of the men was exerted to the ut- '
most. When at length we made the port, all !
hands were worn down ami exhausted; we!
could not have held out two days longer with
out relief.
“A bitter cold night, Mr. Larkin,” I said to 1
my mate, as 1 tarried a mommit un deck to
finish my cigar.
The worthy down easter buttoned his coat
more tightly around him, looking up to the
moon, and felt his red nose before he replied.
•‘lt’s a whistler, Captain, as we used to say i
on the Kennebec. Nothing lives comforta
ble out of the blankets in such a night as i
this.”
“The tide is running out swift and strong— ■
it will be well to keep a sharp lookout for the
floating ice, Mr. Larkin.”
Aye. aye, sir,” responded the mate, and I
went below.
Two hours after, I was aroused from a sound
sleep by the vigilant officer.
’ Excuse me for disturbing you, Captain,
said he, as he detected an expression of vexa
tion on my face, but 1 wish you would turnout
and come on deck as soon as possible.”
"\\ hy w hat's the matter, Mr. Larkin ?
“ Why. sir, 1 have been watching a cake of
ice that swept by at a little distance, a few mo
ments ago: I saw something black upon it—
something that 1 thought moved. ILe moon's
under a < l<>nd and I could not see d stinctly ; ;
but 1 do believe there's a child floating out to
sea thi< freezing night on that cake of ice."
\\ c w ere <•;. deck before either spoke anoth
er word. The mate pointed out with no dif
ficult \ the cake ot ice floating off to the lee- j
ward, ai d it-* white glittering surface wa> bro- ,
ken by a black spot —more, 1 could not make
out.
“ Get me the glass, Mr. Larkin—the moon
will be out of the cloud in a moment, and then |
we can see distinctly.’’
1 kept my eye on the receding mass of ice. I
while the m<»on was slowly working its way
through a bank of clouds. The mate >tood
by with a glass. When the full light fell at j
last upon the water with a brilliancy only
known to our northern latitudes, 1 put tn\
glas> to my eye. One glance was enough.
•• Forward there 1 diouted at the top of'
my voice, and with one bound I reached the
main hatch, and began to clear the ship's
yawl.
Mr. Larkin had received the glass from my i
hand and took a look tor himself.
•• My God.'" he said in a whisper, as he set !
to work to aid me in getting out the boat— .
-my God ! there arctw o little children on that
cake of ice
Two men answered my call and walked la- ;
zily aft. In an incredibly short space of time !
wc launched the cutter, into which Mr. Larkin 1
and myself jumped followed by two men, who
took the oars. 1 rigged the tiller and the mate
sat beside the >tern sheet.
“Doyon see that cake of ice with some
thing black upon it, lad> ?” 1 cried ; “ put me
alongside ot that and I'll give you a bottle ui
rum each, to-night and a month's extra w ages
when you arc paid oft’.” The men bent to
their oars, but their strokes were uneven and
feeble. They w ere used up by the proceeding j
duty of the last fortnight ami though they did
their best, the boat made but little more than
tide. 1 his was a long chase, and Mr. 1... who
was suffering as he saw* howr little wc gained,
cried out :
“ Pull lads—l 11 double the Captain's prize—
two bottles of rum and two months’ pay. —
Pull lads, for the love of God!”
A convulsive effort of oars told how willing
the men were to obey, but the strength of the
strong arms was gone. One of the youngest
fellows washe<! us twice in recovering himself,
and then gave out; the other was gone. Mr.
Larkin sprang and seized the deserted oar.
“ Lie dow n in the bottom of the lK>at." said
he to the man, “and, Captain, the other oar;
we must row for ourselves.”’
1 took the second man's place—Larkin had
stripped to his Guernsey shirt; as lie pulled
the stern oar, I waited for the signal stroke—
It came gentle but firm, and the next moment
we w ere pulling along, steady stroke, gradual
ly increasing in rapidity until the wood seem
ed to smoke in the oar locks. We kept time
each, by the long deep breathing of the other.
Such a pull! We bent forward until our faces
touched our knees, and then throw ing nil our
strength into the backward movement, until
every inch gained. At every stroke the boat
shot ahead like an arrow discharged from a
bow. Thus we worked the oars for fifteen
minutes —it seemed to me as many hours. The
sweat rolled off in great drops, and I was en
veloped in a steam generated from inv own
body.
“ Are we almost to it, Mr. Larkin ?” I gasp
ed out.
“Almost Captain—don’t give up: for the
love of our dear ones at home—don’t give up.
Captain.”
The oars dashed as the blades turned up to
the moonlight. The men who plied them were
fathers, and had children ; the strength which
nerval them at the moment was more than hu
man. Suddenly Mr. Larkin stopped pulling
and niy heart for a moment almost ceased
beating; for the terrible thought that he had
given out flashed across my mind. But 1 was
quickly re-assured by his voice:
“Gently. C iptain. irently—a stroke or two
more—there, that will do,’’ and Larkin sprang
from the boat with his heavy feet upon the ice.
1 started, and calling to the men to make the
boat fast to the ice, followed.
Wo ran to the dark spot on the centre of the
mass, and found two little boys—the bead of
the smaller nestling in the boson: of the larg
er. Both were fast asleep! The lethargy
which would have been fatal but for the time
ly rescue, had overcome them. Mr. Larkin
grasped one of the lads, ent off one of his
shoes, tore off'his jacket, and then loosing his
own garments to the skin, lie placed the chill
ed child in contact with his own warm body,
carefully wrapping over him, his great coat
which he procured from the boat. I did the
same w ith the other child, when wo returned
to the boat, and the men partially recovered,
pulled slowly back.
The chidren, as wc learned, when we subse
quently had the delight of restoring them to
the parents, were playing on the ice. and had
ventured on the cake which had got jammed in
the bend of the river, ten miles above New
York. A movement of the tide set the ice in
motion, and the little fellow s were borne away
on that cold night, and would inevitably have
perished, but lor Mr. Larkin's spying them as
they were sweeping out to sea.
“ How du you feel ?” I said to the mate, the
next morning after the adventure.
, “A little stiff in the arms. Captain,” the no
ble fellow replied, while the big tears ofgrate
| ful happiness gushed from his eyes; "a little
' stiff’in the arms, Captain, but very easy here,”
l and he laid his hand upon his heart. My
I quaint, brave down-easter, He who lashes the
sea into fury, and lets loose the tempest, will
careffortheel Hie storm may rage without, but
in thy bosom peace and sunshine will always
I abide.
