Remarks of Senator Hammond \V? make the lolloping extracts from a report in the Washington of the proceedings id the C. S. Senate upon the resolution to appropriate $1,200,000 to the building < ( n.ne s-Ki< | ~ ut w.ti ami a s Je-wheel iiar steamer i Mr. Hammond. My only object in asking the question was to enable me to sav, tii.it so far from cot.cm ring in the sinking out proposed by the Senator lV? tu New Hampshire, all the members of llio Naval Committee except himself aru in favor of doubling the number of vessels; and as far as I am concerned, I concur in the amendment which 1 understand the Senator from North Carolina intends to otter. I do not regard this as a war measure. I think, from the sentiments I uttered a few days Hgo in the Senate, it is understood that I am not an alaiinist; that I am not Jisp< sed to take any measure that would precipitate lliii country into a war with Croat 1'oitain, while I ant toady to meet that war whenever it oc curs. If 1 recollect aright, the Secretary <'f the Navy, in his annual report, toeoin mended that ten new steam hIuhim Mi.ml. be built, long before tliciu wis any appro licusion of a slilli u11 v with any foreigi power. Ton sloops, thoivfoie, will bo i? cognized rpeeifioally :is a pe:n*e nieasun ai necessary to sustain tin* N ivy I 11 tncht in time of pence. *l*fu? opinion o tbo Naval t'ommitlec i.-. that the loeom mon lati ?n falls short o! the necessity, ami that twenty such vessels are required foi the Navv in time of pence. If \\o wore going into a war with a great naval powr like Groat Britain, this would bo but a meagre preparation; yet, of course, in nil creations ol a navy, we must necessarily have an eve to war; and without intend itig to advocate these twenty sloops as a war measure, whoever advocates thoin must necessarily do ii with a view to tin protection of our commerce, and of tlx incidents connected with i:. I imagine that there arc Je\v member playing at sham with a navy. I'otnpar ing our Navy with our commerce, will our population, and w ith our extended and defenceless coast, it is perfectly redic uIons. Tl it were not for the gallantrv which animates the oilieeis of the Navy, and for the Cue vessels that we have built w hich have commanded the admiration ol the world,I would say it was contemptible. As fur us our navy does go.it is count to any oilier navy ; and I would be w illing to risk it at some odds against any other navv ; but when we consider the proportions between our navy and our commerce, 1 re peat, it ismere sham. Why, sir, we have a commerce euual to that i2?-..<r Britain ; our tonnage is equal to hers. ? She has a na\y of twenty two thousand joints to protect her commerce. What have wo j^ot ? \\ e hava a navy?counting all the Jrips in service, all the ships in ordinary, and all the ships on the stocks ?of less than two thousand guns. Wher ever we meet Great Britain, even in our own seas, she appears as ten to one; and throughout the whole world she is nearly as lifto?n to one. Great Britain, at tliis moment, has more guns in the waters of America, and a greater number of seamen in our own waters, than our entire active navy. She has seven hundred and ninety-four guns surrounding our coast, and wo have hilt seven hundred and eightynine, all told, to meet lu-r. Mr. Mallory. Six hundred and twenty eight. Mr. Hammond. I have seen an esti mate of seven hundred anil eighty nine, and I wish to state it on the laigost scale. Statements vary. Certainly Croat Brit nin has a larger force in our own waters than wo can control, if every ship we have was brought together at once. Are we safe ? I do not wish to allude to the late outrages upon our commerce, f >rI do not advocate this propo ilion as a war nuns uie hut of decent regard to our dignity,ami to the prospects of peace. Why, sir, when tlie>e outrages occurred, what had we in the Gulf? Thirty live giun, all told. Ami what bail threat Britain ?? Three hundred and sixty-nine, that she could concentrate at anv point of the Gulf; and we con! I not, by any possibility, wiihin any reasonable lime, send over two linn be I guns there. Wo are at the mercy of Kiigland. It is well known that Kugl.ind protects our commerce in the distant seas. Iis well know n that, Init f.ir lit* l-inill? ....-I -i 1 ? - - ??mi protection w lti< It ^ *r?' it Britain p? it descends to af lord u-t our commerce would he ;it the mercy of the pirate* .>! iln< woild m nil til * distant sua*; and y?t wo sol up (?>r :i Kiout commercial nation; and, when hng'nitd insults us, wo talk ol* sending ?Jo\?n flop* u> captuie Iiom. \\ her* would you gut litem from ? I lie Senator from M issaehusetts, the Senator from Georgia, mi.I (lie Senator from Ne?' Hampshire, insist tli it these heligerent nets of Great Britain should he met instantly, mid that force should ho sent to sink or capture her vessels. Where is the force to come from* Is there any possibility of building II th'Ot AS Aiadin s palace Wat built, in a (tight? Are you to create ships by resolution of Congress? As tlftf Senator from Georgia has just b.uu, wuri ;?u mo material you have, can vuu firot;? tint jr on the instant I You may an srmv : yoti have hotliln^ to do but to light tlu bono ii ti?from , f wlion hill top to lull top, and hii army will j rsseulut j spring up as it by enchantment; but a i lUid ,(.,1, i navy cannot be had at a call. \ou cannot (0 ic>H | season wood, you cannot put it together, ?sliould 1 you cannot obtain practical seamen in a j to-day, ] moment. Seamanship, unlike mere sol | diership, is a profession ; and a nation I ^j'.^ which intends to protect itself, its right, I and its comuitrce, must bo more or less | yj.. j ' prepared with a navy at all times. The ! South t little State of Denmark, whose commerce J knows might be annihilated from the ocean, and rospect ! it would never be missed, of whom most ,UKj vje i of us iti America never heard until the of mile: i question about the Sound dues arose, has limited I a navy superior to ours.
