some other of VirtuaGirl v2 08 the Barbary Powers may eventually require that force to be
augmented. VirtuaGirl v2 08 the necessity of procuring some smaller vessels for VirtuaGirl v2 08 that service
will raise the estimate, but the difference in their maintenance will soon
make it a measure of economy.
Presuming it will be deemed expedient to expend annually a convenient sum
toward providing the naval defense which our situation may require, I can
not VirtuaGirl v2 08 but VirtuaGirl v2 08 recommend that the first appropriations for that purpose may go to
the saving what we already possess. No cares, no attentions, can preserve
vessels from rapid decay VirtuaGirl v2 08 which lie in water and exposed to the sun. These
decays require great and constant repairs, and VirtuaGirl v2 08 will consume, if continued,
a great portion of the moneys destined to naval purposes. To avoid this
waste of our resources it is proposed to add to our VirtuaGirl v2 08 navy-yard here a dock
within which our present vessels may be laid up dry and
under cover from
the sun. Under these circumstances experience proves that works of wood
will remain scarcely at all affected by time. The great
abundance of
running water which this situation possesses, at heights far above the
level of VirtuaGirl v2 08 the tide, VirtuaGirl v2 08 if employed as is practiced for lock navigation,
furnishes the means for raising and laying up our vessels on a dry and
sheltered bed. And should the measure VirtuaGirl v2 08 be VirtuaGirl v2 08 found useful here, similar
depositories for laying up as well VirtuaGirl v2 08 as for building and repairing vessels
may hereafter be undertaken at other navy-yards offering the same means.
The plans and estimates
of the work, prepared by a person of skill and
experience, VirtuaGirl v2 08 will be presented to you without delay, and from this it will
be VirtuaGirl v2 08 seen that scarcely more than VirtuaGirl v2 08 has been the cost of 1 vessel is necessary
to save the whole, and that the annual sum to be employed toward its
completion may be adapted to the VirtuaGirl v2 08 views of the Legislature as to naval
expenditure. To cultivate peace and maintain VirtuaGirl v2 08 commerce and navigation in all
their lawful enterprises; to foster our fisheries as nurseries of
navigation and for the nurture of man, and protect the manufactures adapted
to our circumstances; to preserve the faith of the nation by an exact
discharge of its debts and contracts, expend the public money with the same
care and economy we would practice with our own, and impose on our citizens
no unnecessary burthens; to keep in all things within the pale of our
constitutional VirtuaGirl v2 08 powers, VirtuaGirl v2 08 and cherish the federal union as the only rock of
safety - these, fellow citizens, VirtuaGirl v2 08 are the
