reason that this magnitude is itself always
n subject of great exaggeration.. That this
should be the case is natural enough,^ and
accountable, for many reasons. These
reasons were happily summed up seventy
vears ago, by no less a writer than Thomas
Paine, and though thc relative strength of
thc assumed, in comparison with the ica),
marine of the British, is somewhat less then
than now, the substantial truths of the
statement remain undeniable. For the
benefit of such readers as cannot convenient
ly place their hands upon the works of this
great political writer, we quote hut a single
passage, on (Ins interesting subject, from
(he fourth part of “Common Sense.” This
portion of the essay relates to the “present
ability of America,” her resources in any
conditions, and their availablcness in a time
of war; hut the paragraph which wc select'
concerns those of Great Britain chiefly, and
condenses much matter in few words. We
must add that if the naval power of Great
Britain has increased greatly since Paine
wrote, so also have her exigencies ; not the
least among which, may he mentioned the
fact that the United Stales have a navy,
and an admirable school for seamen, of
neither of which, at that period, could she
allege the possession. Our growth and
strength have advanced in more than equal
proportion, with her progress, during this
interval of time ; so that, the relative cir
cumstances of the two nations, in tegard to
this particular interest, if changed at all,
are materially changed in our favor, since
the period when Paint wrote. Indeed,
there is a world-wide dillcrence in our be
half, since that lime, which makes it al
most impertinent to institute any compari
son. Thc author of “Common Sense,”
however, embodied some enduring truths
i.i his essay which have their prcs< nt value.
•■The English list of ships of war,” he lells
us, “is long and formidable-; but not n tenth
part of them arc at any one lime fit for ser
vice—numbers of them not in being. Yet
their names arc pompously continued in thc
list, if only a plank is left’of the ship ; and
not a fifth part of such ns are fit for service,
can he spared on any. one station at one
time. The East and West Indies, Medi
terranean, Africa, and ot her parts over which
Britain extends her claim, make large de
mands upon nernavy. From a mixture of
pre judice and inattention, wc have contract
ed a false notion respecting the navy of
England, and have talked as if wc should
have the whole of ii to encounter at once ;
and for that reason have supposed that wc
must have on as large : which not being in
stantly practicable, an argument has been
drawn from thence,and made use of by a set
of disguised tories, to discourage our begin
ning thereon. Nothing can be further from
truth than this ; for if America had only a
twentieth part of the naval force of Brir-
itin, she would be far an over-match for
her: because, as wc neither have, nor claim
tiny foreign dominion, our whole force
would be employed on our own coast,where
wc should, in the long run, have two to one
thc advantage of those who have three or
ing self laudations, and by dint of flattery or cunning, no longer be tolerated.”

activity—the note of preparation for field service
has been sounded—orders have been issued requi

If, since thc day 0/ Paine and ours, the
application of Steam to thc propelling of
vessels, contributes to the facility with
which a foreign power may invade us, the
application ol the same power contributes
in still greater degree, to our means of re
sistance and defence. W’e have nlrcadv
indicated the vast means at our contmamf,
for the purposes of harbor and coast protec
tion, from the employment of the ordinary
river steamers, ait of which ate just as
good for thc purposes of war, if not exposed
to the dangers of the sea, as if they had
been specially built to contend with ils c-
incrgcncics. Two or three steamers can
low and keep a flouting battery in its place,
in the channel or entrance of an harbour,
and sustained by one or two stout batteries
on cither hand, on shore, that harbor thus
circumstanced, become inaccessible. W f c
see it suggested by the newspapers that in
time of war, the numerous packet ships be
longing to our several commercial lines,
arc equally available for the same purpo
ses, provided with thc proper personel and
materiel; of this there is no sort of doubt.
The first ships of war set afloat by the Con
tinental Congress were taken from the
merchant service ; nnd they are ns good
scaboats ns any in thc British Navy—-nay,
they arc lar better sailers. This sugges
tion, by the way, belongs to 'Paine. He
says, in the same paper from whicb wc
Imvo quoted, the following passage; “some
method might be fallen on, to keep up a
ftiivai force iu time of peace, if we should
not judge it necessary to support a constant
navy. If premiums were to be given to
merchants to build and employ in their ser
vice, ships mounted with 2ti,"Stt, 4(1 or 50
guhs; lfic,pretuiums to be in proportion to
the loss of bulk to thc merchant: fifty or
sixty of these ships, with a few guard ships
on constant duty, would keep up a suffi
cient navy, and that without burdening
ourselves with the evils so loudly complain
ed of in England, of suffering their fleets
in timo of peace, to lie rotting in thc docks.

guinary war. Yet every patriotic American ml
concede that tho war of 1812 was perfectly justifia-
bio upon this ground. Had the insults and tlie it-
juries whicli England then perpetrated been suffire!
as tlie price of an inglorious peace, instead of non-
being the second commercial power on tlie glob.',
and thc independent and powerful nation which tw
claim to he, our commerce would probably have
been swept from tlie ocean, and ourselves become
the mere vassals of a foreign power—either tliii
result, or eventually a war more sanguinary than
that which did occur, was inevitable. Any in
fringement of an undoubted national right, is just
cause for war; and the value of any just war can
not be estimated in money or life. If a nation will
concede one right, or ta'biely submit her flag to a
single insult, she commits an error for which the
blood of her sons must at length atone.
Absolute national independence of action and liio
maintenance of every right, is thc only sure guaran
ty of national prosperity and individual liberty.
Nations are moral persons, and are bound to be
governed by those immutable principles of right awl
justice which are tbe result of human reason and
revelation, and which forms the proper basis of indi
vidual intercourse. These principles form the uni
versal iaw of nations, and iu tho absence of positive,
or conventional law, if they are violated by one na
tion in its intercourse with another, and the wrong
is persisted in, it is not only a good and moral grounJ
to declare and prosecute war, but it is a moral duty
which every nation is bound to perform, if they
would transmit the independence and liberties of
their country to posterity.
Thc law of resistance to injury, or war, is a prin
ciple which thc Creator has implanted in thc whole
animate creation, from man down to the insect, for
wise and benevolent purposes—it is sanctioned by
onr natural sense of right, and by revelation. War
can only ccasc when nations shall pursue their trie
interests by learning to do justice.
