Whereas it is highly important to the interests of this State that the assailable points on our sea board should be placed in a proper state of defence to resist the aggressions of an invading foe, and believing that this object can be best effected in time of peace; and whereas considerable expense has been already incurred by the government of the United States in the commencement of a public work on Dauphin island, at the mouth of Mobile bay, the completion of which, whilst it would add much to the protection of the bay and city of Mobile, would be also an important link in the chain of defence for the seaboard at large- Be it resolved by the senate and house of representatives of the State of Alabama in general assembly convened, ‘That our senators in Congress be instructed, and our representatives requested, to use their best efforts to obtain an appropriation for prosecuting the work at Dauphin island. And whereas, also, much inconvenience and delay would, in the event of hostilities, attend the present mode by which this State is furnished with munitions of war, in consequence of the circuitous route by which they are transported, and believing there are many points on the Tennessee river, within the limits of this State, eminently calculated for the establishment of a public arsenal and armory, and from which our wants in time of war would be more readily supplied than by the present mode— Be it further resolved, That our senators and representatives aforesaid be requested to use their exertions to obtain an appropriation for the erection and establishment of an arsenal and armory on some point of the Tennessee river within the limits of this State. Be it resolved, That his excellency the governor be requested to cause to be sent to each of our senators and representatives in Congress one copy of the above resolutions. '
