INCREASE OF THE NAvY.-Could our
public men be induced to study the charac-
ter and principles OF The truly great men
who founded our republic, many of the idle
crotche,s that warp and worry their brain
would be dispelled. Samuel Adams. the
Aris,ides of the revolution, who lived with
out reproach, and died without a penny
a man who directed the mos, important
mnvenasnis, and disa;fod the subiinesi
trusts of that great era-difiercd from some
of our modern Solons on the subject of the
navy. We find in letter written by him
in 1871 to Mr.. Mexican, the President OF
Congress, the following passage: 81 take
it for granted that very great majority oi
the people of the United S,ates are deter
mined to support he righteous and necessa-
ry war, till they shall attain tieir grand OBJ
iect, an undisplted sovereignty. This mus,
hereafter be maintained under GoD, by the
wisdom and vigor of their own councils and
their own strength. Their policy will lead
them, if they mean 20 form any connexion
with Europe, to make themselves respccia-
BILE in the eyes of the nations, by holding
up TO them the benefits of their trade
This the United States must do by navy.


The United States must build a navy;
they have, or may have, all the materials
in plenty" If the necessity OF a nav for
our commerce in its infancy was thus appre-
ciated by the wisdom of the revolution, WITH
What emphasis would that wisdom urge the
duty nowl-U. S. Gazette.
