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 own government for rcfiit i ing by force oi arms thole tyrannic acts of a corrupt amt vena! minilfry, whicu hau 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 opportunity fur (he display of military genin' l .

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 battles of the RepwbJic, and ■' mercenary Haves contending lor injulliee and oppreflion under the cjdcrs of a des pot. lfut wiiat (hall be laid of our navy, "our in i' tant navy!! Irs achieve ments in i retative point of ; view are unparalleled in the I hillory of any country upon the face of the pLbe. The i enemy with his thoufanrl 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 ment of thole events which mull ultimately compel tne ci)ein ; to make peace upon honorable terms or be dri ven fioiu toe continent ?
