I desire to ask him if he knows that the editors of each of those papers are custom-house officers, who are ready to do the dirtiest work of any Administration when they suppose any question may be an Administra- tion measure ? Mr. CLAY. I do not know it. Mr. HAMLIN. I know they are, Mr. CLAY. I do not think they are. Mr. Bates is the editor of the Plymouth Rock, the paper from which I read. I think he is not a custom-house officer. Mr. HAMLIN. Yes he is. Mr. CLAY. Who is the editor of the Patr...iot ? I cannot say. Mr. HAMLIN. Mr. Spinney — a custom-house officer. Mr. CLAY. "Well, sir, the custom-house officers of New England are a very corrupt and depraved set, if what the Senator says be true ; for it is the com- mon testimony furnished by most of them, and not furnished for this occasion, but through a series of years past; and I am not willing to think so badly of his constituents as he himself seems to think. Now, Mr. President, I say, if it be true, as alleged, that the cod fishery is the peculiar nursery of seamen, it imposes irpon the advocates of that opinion a response to the question : how it happens that the merchantmen, or the whalers, of a thousand or more tons, of more complex rigging, of twenty or more sails, of sixteen or more yards, making voyages of twenty thousand miles or more, spending years of "business in the great waters," are not as good schools for seamen as the cod fishery, which employs schooners or fishing smacks of sixty- five tons or less, which are engaged but four months a year in cruising around the coast or islands of New England, or on the banks of New Foundland '( The framers of these laws did not regard them as the peculiar nurseries of seamen, neither did they design by the laws to make them the nurseries of seamen.
