THE CAROLINE.
Our reader* nre familiar with the particulars of
tho attack upon the “ Caroline," in December,
1037. It wo* a wanton outrage by British subjects
upon American citizens, ami on invasion nf Nation*
ui nt well u» State Soveieignty, which.requiroJ tho
President to prefer a complaint.
That complaint wu* long since urged nnd no
satisfactory reply Ini* been communicated. In the
men lino one of tlu/ncruscd acton* in the outrage
i* arrested und imprisoned to answer the crime.
A British subject, ho claims, if guilty, tho inter
ference of hi* Government, which lMisanc.ioiicd.il
seems, thn outrage.
Our amicable relations with her Majesty’* Gov.
crriment wo desire to sea su-luined forever, Imt
nevrt nt the expen c of that National honor which
it should U-. a* we tru*t it i*, the pride of all our
citizens to uphold. If our Government doe* not inter
po*e when her citizen* nro mimbr. d by subjects cf
another count!y, Government would not only
compromise tl.o limflrr und dignity of the American
people, lint there would bu no security for her chi
zoiis, ut home nr abroad. Our countrymen desire
pujco with nil Nations, especially with that whose
liteiatuto flow* in the same l.inguage, and whoso
subjects generally know and practise the courtesies
of life, while they lire quick to repel any effort to
cast obloquy upon tlieir own Nation.
Wo clwtyfu'.ly express our approbation of tho
dignified letter of Mr. Fointlll, who has on this
occasion extorted even tlie praise of his politico*
rid vet sillies. We hope with the President llitil the
nhiciieu of McLeod front tho scene of outrage muy
bo sati-fjctorily e.tublhdied,lnit whether guilty or
innocent, nnutliur question remain* for tho iwo
Nation* to settle, und onu which sliould long since
have been satisfactorily adjusted.
Wo doubt not that, in any correspondence which
may hereafter take plueo, Mr. I'nsyth will ns ably
represent tho fueling* of hi* rotmuyimn. His
elucidation of the p.incipl.-* of our complex Con
stitution which recognizes iu cases like that of Mc
Leod’s no right of tlm President to interpose, i*

THE GENERAL BANKRUPT LAW.
We-ma ufr«i<l tho Wh'g merchants of New Ymk
will subject thorn-elves t» the charge of being " lo
co focus, ugruri ms, nnd lovelier*," front ci-rtnin
pr<-su*» in this quarter. Tlu-y have uctually put in
rirciilntlon u memorial to Cnngros*, asking I but in
tho pa**agenfu General Bankrupt Law, bunks nnd
corporation*shall hove the same itnmunition* and
ho sukjreted lathe saum penalties M itnlividtiuU, ti
inea*tno which when proposed by Mr. Van Btiren,
was denounced ns the extreme of rndicnlLnt.
“Tlm m.-inuraii*ts,’’.ays tint Evening Post, o*
press lltoif cnnviciion tlmt muhiiig but a bankrupt
law applicable to banks “ can prevent' continual
suspcn.ion* of specie payment to the ruin nliko of
fnruigntind iuteinul trade" Tbeydotibt w hot lie
bill which does not include them would be of nny
advant-ige; and declare that they prefer n Imv oprr
iitiug on haul s nlme. to u law which rhoiiid exclude
them and apply to the test oi tho cotn-nunity.--
Ruad the memorial and observe in what strong und
emphatic language it is nxpre*ccd.
Yet iltese very ineniorali.t- !.,»t winter inSdreised
Congress on tho subject of a bankrupt law, und
observed a profound und studied silence on thi* vcr>'
topic. If any onu should ask the reason, it is to bu
foiiwlin this mpmniinl. “That subject" say tlie
mutnorulist* “ bad been most iinpropctly mixed qp
with puny polities."
How w.is this matter mixed up with party poll,
tic*! Why, Mr. Vim Burnt recommended that tra
ding corporations should be brought within such a
ptw, and tho democratic patty supported it. Tin
whig merchants of N. York ultliougli convinced
that the men sure wos greatly for tlieir own benefit,
nnd fur thu welfare of the community withheld tlieir
suppoit because it wus proposed by (hedemocratic
party.
Let it* give one piece of advice, not only to the
whig merchants of llii* city, lint to men of all par
ties. Never lie nfrnid to “uTix up"too much of what
is good with your “parly politic*." Never ho »lmv
to nvow a good principle, or to support u good men
tune, because it is some bow or other connrctrd
with tlm controversies of pailies.—Entertain no
uppiehensious of being too strictly just, too tibso*
lutely fuir, ('undid and upright towards your puliti
cal ndvcrsarle*. Such things will never lio painful
ly on your conscience*.
On tlm contrary “mix up with your parly poli
tics" u* many of these ingredients a* you uru able.
Throw into tho composition u liberal support of nil
necessity and truly useful mcusnrns by whomsoev
er you find tln-ni proposed. Shed into tlm inixturo
tho sphit of justice nnd fain.es*, of regard for tlto
general welfare nnd respect for the rights of all
yoqr fellow crroUtieif. Tltcso aro till that is uf nny
‘value iu patty politics—the rest is base, sordid,
nnd selfish, tho rest is but foul scum ur filthy sedi
ment.
Wo hope the time will arrive when m.'ii will no
longer lm deterred ft out doing t ight, l»y the fear uf
mixing up tun much disinterestedness with their
pmty prditlcB.-!'

Sir—I nm informed by hi* Excellsncy tho Lieu
tenant Governor of the Produce of Upper Cnundn,
that Mr. Ah-xnn.ler McLeod, a British subject,nnd
lute deputy »h".iff of tho Niagara Disliict in Upper
Canada, wu* to rested nt Lewiston, iu tho State of
New York, on tlm 12th uf In-t mouth, on a pretend
cd charge of muidcr and arson, ns having been on
gaged iu tlm capline and destruction of the pircti
-n(steamboat “Caroline," in the month of Decent
her, 1837. After a tedious nnd vexatious exuininti
lion, Mr. McLeod was committed f».|- n ial, und Im
is now imprisoned in I. ckpnrt jail.
1 feel it my duty to cu 1 upon the Government of
tlie United Status to take prompt und effectual step*
for tbo liberation of Mr. McLeud. it is well known
that llm destruction of the steamboat “Caroline’
was a public net of person* in Iter Majesty's service,
obeying tlm order of tlicir snpetior authorities.—
'1 hut act. therefore, nccoidiug to tint usages of tiu
liltin', can only Im tlm subject uf discussion between
the two National Governments: It cannot justly be
■nude tho ground of legal proceedings in the United
State* against (lie individuals concerned, who w
hound to obey tits authorities appointed by their
own Government.
I may mill timt 1 believe it is quite notorious that
Mr. McLeod was not .mo of the party o.ign<:rd in
tlm destruction of the- steamboat “Caroline;" ui-.i
tlmt the pretended rlinigo upon which ho has been
impti-oned rests only upon tlm pri-jurcd tesiinioay

are stiil permitted by the aiithorilius of tlie State of
New- Yoik to infest the Canadian frontier.
The question, however, of whether Mr. McLeod
was or wa* not cancel tied in the doitruction nf thu
“Caroline," is beside tho purpose iff the present
communication. That uct wus the public act uf per
sons obeying (he constituted autlioiilie* of her Mu je*
ly's IVovinco. The National Govermu -nt of the
United States thought themselves called upon to re
monstrnto against it; and a ivniotistrnuco wliielt the
1'iesidcnt did uccot.lnigly ndil.t-rs to her Majesty's
Government, i* still, 1 believe; a pen ling subject of
di|ilo:nalic'discus*ioubetween In r Majesty's Gov
ernment und tlm United .States Legation in Loudon.
I ftel,therefore, justified ia expecting that the I’ru
si.lent's Government will see tlie justice and the tie
cessity of causing tlm present iinnn.liatn release of
*.Mr. McLeod, ns veil ns of taking such steps n*
may Im requisite for preventing other* of her Moj>-*
ty's subject- from being p--rsecnteil or mo!e*te.l in
tlm United Stales ill u similar manner for'liefuture.
It nppevr* licit Mr. McLeod was arrested eu

Sir—I hnvo tlm honor to acknowledge, and liuvo
laid before tho President, your loiter of the 13th
instant touching lint nrt.-M ami imprisonment of
Alexander McL.od, a British subject, mid lute
Deputy Sheriff of the Niagara District, iu upper
Canada, on n c!in r ge of murdcr*tind Utson, us hav
iug been engaged m the capline nnd destruction of
tlm st.-nntbout “Caroline," in the month of Decent

feel it your duty to cull upon tlm Government oft ha

for tlto liberation of Mr. McLeod, and to prevent
other* of the sujects of Imr Maje-ty, thn Queen of
Great Britain, from being pin»ccuted of molested
in it similar manner, foi tlto future.
This domtuul, with tlm ground* upon which it is
made, lm* been duly considered by the 1’iosident,
wiilt n sincere dorii'o lo givo to it such u reply ns
will not only manifest ti ttiopcr regard for the eluir
miter und right* of llm United Slates, hut, nl the
suuic time, tend to pteieive tlm amicable relations
which,so ndvniitagooi.sly for both, suli.ut ht.lw.teit
thi* coumry und England. Uf tho reality of this
disposition, nnd nf tho uiiiloimity with which It lut*
hrou evinced iu tlm many dclicutn nnd ditlicidl
quo-linns which linvo arisen between tlto two conn
trie* iu tlm Inst few- years, lio onoenu he mote con
vjnrcil than yourself. It is then with unfeigned
regtet that tlm President finds himself unable tore
cognise llm vul .lily of a demand, a compliance with
which you deem so mute.in! to tho preservation of
tho good understanding which has been hitherto
mnnil'cst-d between tlm two countries.-
Tlm jurisdiction of the several Slates which cun
stitute tlm Union Is, within it* appropriated sphere
perfectly independent of tho Federal Governnte.it
The offence with which Mr. McLeod is climged
was committed within tlm territory,and against the
law* nn.l citizen* nf thu State of New York, nnd is
one that cutties clearly within tho competency of her
tribunals. It does not, therefore, pioscnt nu ocen
sion where, under tho constitution and laws of the
•Union, thn interposition called for would be pro
pur, or for which a warrant ran lm found in thn
powers with which tlm Federal executive it invest
ed. Nor would the citcuntsiiiitccs to wldoli you
have referred, or the rontons you hnvo urged, justi
ly tlto exertion of such a power, if it existed. Tlm
traiiiiiclion out iff which the question arises, pro
tents the onto of u most iitijusliliahht invasion, In
time of pence, ofn poition of tlm leirltory of the
United Stntoi, by uband ofafrmed men from tlm
n<(jncant territory or Cuimdn, the finvihle capture
by them within our own wutors, and tlto suhse
queue destruction of iisteanilmnt, tint property ofn
citizen of the United States, and the ntutdrr of onu
or more Atimriu*n citizens. If nrrrxtcd at llm time
the offnjiider* ininht unqui-atiunahly huvn been
brought to justice by the judicial iiulltorilio* of tlm
Statu within whoso ur.knowlcdgod territory these
t-rlmm werw coininittt-dpind their subsequent vo
htliln.y initruncn within that tcrrit.iry, places them
in tlto snrmi situation. Tlm I’ruddunt is not uwom
or nny principal of international law, ot indeed of
renson orjustice, which entitles, such offenders to
impunity hefino ;lm legal tribunals, when coming
voluntarily within tlieir independent and undoubted
jurisdiction, because they acted in obedience lo their
superior authorities, nrbecut/so tlieir nets have he
come thn subject of diplomatic discussion between
the two governments. These methods of redress,
llm legal prosecution of tlm offenders, nnd tlm np
plication of their Government for satisfaction, uru
independent of each other, und maybe separately
nnd simultaneously pursued. The nvowal nr jutli
licatinn of thn outrage by tlm Btilish authorities,
might Im a ground of complaint with the Gnvnrn
went of tlm United Suites, di*tinr.t from the viola
tinu of tlm lertitory and Inw* of the State of New
York. The application of tlm Government of the
Union to llttii of Grant Biitain, for tlto redress of
nu uutliorizcd outrngo of tho peace, dignity, und
rights of tlie United Slates, cannot deprivo ibeStatu
of N.-w Yoik of Imr tindouhted right of vin.lieuting,
th.o'igh the exerciso uf Imr judicial power, tho pro
perty and lives of her citizens. Yon have very pro
pcrly regarded the alleged absence of Mr. McLeod
front the scene of the oflencu ut tlm lime when it
whs cmmiiiited, ns not material to tlm decision of
I im present quest ion. That is a matter to he deci
ded by legal evidence; and lm sine, rodesiio of the
I’icsbieiii is, that it maybe satisfactorily establish
ed. If the destruction of tlteCnroline was ii public
net of persons in her Majesty's snivice, obeying the
order id tlicir superior iiuthotities. this net hu* not
been before couiumnicntcd to tlm Government of
the'^ United Stales by u person authorized to make
the admission; uud it will be for the court which hu*
taken cognizance of the ofii-uce wit), which Mr. Me
Lend is charged, to decide upon its validity when
