1 he period „i which you
aic now afiembled, is in iny
opinion, the molt import
ant or any which has occur
red lince the efhblifiiment'
of our independence, em>t»
ge;i as we arc, in hofliliries
with a nation, the maritime
iieluurccs and naval power
et which, has no parallel
in the* hiilory of the world ;
and whole uovernnunt is as
b-ie as it is powerful. Ac
customed to tyrannize ever
the ocean j and by her wealth
and lntiigue, to keep one
half of Europe cutting the
throats of the other half* j
! file flittered herfdf that die
U. btates Wv.uld not daie ro ,
j refi»t her unfounded claims j
to maritime fuprcmacy. In j
this five no doubt Oc rived i
encouragement, as well from
the forbearance manifelled
by our republican admini
llration, and their known|
! acknowledged aversion j
! w ar and blooufhcd, which :
; tniilook lor tiimdby, as j
from a conviction of haring
! a party lufticientiy powerful |
i in the U. states, to control
; the government if it dared
to refill. This is known to
every man who has attended i
to f-cU and palling events, i
i This haughty nation has ■
however been mithken, as
well in the hrmneT, itaoil
ity and energy of our gov
ernment, as in the power
frl the party fiie relied upon
in this century to promote
her views, and oppolc thole
joi their own government. ;
I And here permit me to re-|
mark, the contrali between
tlu; minor* y m the Britrlh j
Parliament, and tJie mi.ro»-
»ty in Congiefs. la the \
farmer they no looner found ;
that war was declared, than
j they united with miniflers,
anu by an unanimous vote, I
declared they would lupport :
the w;ii wuh a view to ob- !
. tain an honorable peace; m
the latter our minority thot’
| of nothing lo much as, how i
they were to cmharrats the
government, ana by what
mean* iney could defeat their!
| measures. Unaccountable
< as the iact i?, a iv ucverthe *
ieh. uuc ; u i. no hction but j
efbbhihed by the public',
proceeding* of the binilh|
Parliament, and the Con-j
grefs of li ic U. States. Hj .v !
(harmful tor freemen to aCt '
thus: what? oppule ihcrrj

tyrannic acts of a corrupt amt

fur their oeject, and if lub
niitted to, muit have rtlul
tvd, in placirg the United j
Mate* m a worfs con,.it,n, :
than thev could be as Colo
nies of the Britith Crown.
It isnot to be inlerrcd thu
I admit, that because the
minority in the British Par-
J *
1 lament pledged themfelvcs
ito fuprort the war until an
; honorable peace could be
obtained, that the British j
-ministry might not procure
such a peace vvith our go
' Vcrnment; that is an ob;e<ft
which has been, I venture*
to lay, at all times within
their reach. Our govern
ment has rtunifclied an anx
ious desire of terminating
hoflilities by a peace honor- I
able to both parties; and if'
i'thc Britilh Cabinet had been
as linccrely difpoied for
peace, the war would nescr
j hive commenced, neither
would it have continued to
this day. But it is evident
Ito the whole world, that
peace is not the obje<st of
i the enemy, unless accom
panied by a funender of
thole rights on our part,
whiih would entail infamy
and disgrace upon us ami
; our country forever.—The
pledge of the minority in 1
(he British Parliament is
therefore the more remarks- i
ble, and make the contrafi
between their conduft and
the minority in Congreis
the more (hiking, frnce our
object has been uniformly
i before the war to preserve
' peace* and frnce to obtain
it ; whilit the enemy has
had no other onjett but to
find pretext# for evading a
compliance with our just
demands, and provoking
us by new aggreflions, whilit
profe'iing a dilpofrion to
joo juitjce. If the just prin
j ciples upon which the w.ir
j was commenced were in
! fufiicient to produce equal
; unanimity amongst us to that
, which appears to have pre
; vailed in the British Pailia-j
ment, can the minority not
find in the conduct of the ■,
I enemy at Hampton and ell«-
wherc* motives fufficitntly
j powerful to (timuiate them
to nnite with the majority,
and by a bold and manly cf
fort indict merited chaitife
j meat upon the authors of
' luch barbarous and brutal
wrongs ? / venture to pio
nounce, that he who cannot |
| ami who at the fame time;
1 claims to be an American,
is a cold blooded traitor.
At the commencement of
the prefeat canted, our old j
revolutionary heioes hid
neatly all dropt orfihe (hge
jof hlc, and from our long
i h .bits of peace, the harm
ful oi men k«j t on our Iron*
j tier had afforded but little

jweic we compelled in lic
ence of ©nr inert imaMe
rights to encounter, as [
have before observed, the
most powerful and at the
lame time the nioll aban
doned government that ever
l tyrannized over any country.
I Notwithstanding this ap
i rent dilpirity of force, yet
j with our numerous ari-d brave
population, and a c ounfrv
* abounding in all the resour
ces neceftarv either for of
fenfivc or detenuve warfare,
c cannot for a moment
doubt of our final I'uccels.
Witli a little expern *nce in
the art of war* which we
arc gaining rt.iijy, our offi
cers and men will frxon teach
the hiitifli legions the dif
ference between the encr-
I of freemen fighting tiic

llnps of war has to buait of
but two triumphs over it,
vvhiJft we can claim as many
as we have (hips. Ma} we
not hope that tne late victo
ry gain-cl so gallantly by
Commodore Perry and Ins
brave allociares on Lake fi
ne, over a superior Bund*
flvset, tnd rhe command of
Lake Ontario now obtained:
by the brave Chauncey*
will lead to the accomplilh

mull ultimately compel tne

I think they will. Our -ar
