260. lappuse - American fishermen shall be admitted to enter such bays or harbors for the purpose of shelter and of repairing damages therein, of purchasing wood, and of obtaining water, and for no other purpose whatever.

245. lappuse - I particularly invite again the attention of Congress to the expediency of exercising their existing- powers, and, where necessary, of resorting to the prescribed mode of enlarging them, in order to effectuate a comiirehensive system of roads and canals...
