been deceived in our honor. I could
forgive every thing in this unhappv
alfair, but the wound our honor hs
fuflained —ls they had taken cverv
ycfftl belonging to our navy, and hat
kiiled ten times as many men in fail
combat, thefr would have been afts.
in their nature, admitting of for
givenefs; but that of which we com
plain, is rendered doubly poignant,
by the itifult it has put upon us, yc
the injury is not immtiirable vulnus
But, if we had given up, to the ven
geance-of an irritated power, and, as,
•we had reason to believe, to m’iitary
execution, men who had voluntarily
engaged to risk their lives, and, if rie
cefiat y to filed their blood in the
cause of their country, under the plea,
that they were no longer under the
prote&ian of the civil law's, what dif.j
grace would have been visible on our’
blotted honor afterwards? And to
what cud should we have allowed this
aft to go down to posterity, as an evi
dence of the humiliation of our hearts ?
of the meanness of our fuhmiflion ?
of the baseness of our treachery ?
From an “ inclinaii sn to be fervicea
ble’’* to the navy of Great-Britsin !
This is the foundation of fu h o6ts.—
.V/a? it bccaufe G<eat ibi- iin had
ri ;ht to make the demand ? No ! Be
came it was our duty ? No ! For
their rights and our duties, are in re
lation to them reciprocal. Becauf
our necefiity, and not our will, would
have conferred ? No t For we be
lieve that our national independence,
and our national proip rity, woul<
have been fafr, though v;c should
have} incurred the difpleafurc of j
Great Britain. Then it would Lave-1
been merely a gratuous aci on our
part, from 4i an inclination to be fer
vicesble” to the navy of that nation
V/as it to -ppeafe her wrath which was
lighted up by our contumacy, in not
laying prostrate a: her feet, the fa cried
charter of our rights* and the v.iua
ble laws of our country, that, by tel
ling theft men (who fought anafylum
granted by all nations, on our fiiores,
re-pofmg on the faith and on the in.de
fsnder.ee us the United States) of our
country’s injuries and our country’s
gforv, by calling upon them to fympa
iiv.fe with us in :hc one, and to Olinc
with u in the Sight of the other ; that
we were to seduce them from their
fanftuary, ar.d to give them over,
bound in chains, to the vengeance of
their accusers ? This would have been
adding th| racanetl cowardice to the
baled treachery. But would not this
have been the chsracler of our con
dud, had we surrendered them tinder
the prete<ice, that they were no longer
protested by the civil, but fubjefl to
military Saw ? Would not the jealous
honor of military life, which is not
founded on * 4 barren theory, or cold
diplomatic speculation,” which “feels
(tainlike a wound,” have been fhock
cd at such a deed? It would have
been withdrawn from our flag, which
would have been become the objeft
of every nation’s infuh, and every
soldier’s scorn.
