IN dor of the Trenton (N. J.) Alt |
Attimcan, after very copiously commenting up
c'n the ftriaurcs- of feme of the Editors in Bos
ton, who. attempted to juflify the attack on the
American Fugate Chesapeake, obfirves,
“Jf any of us had a lrother impressed on
beard a Britiih rrm of war—torn violently
iom his bafineis and connexions—detained by
force month after month and year after year
from his country, his kindred and every thing.
which renders life happy or even defirable—
compelled to fight for his enemies, his oppres
sors, and against periiaps cus own nation or her
’ f-hnJs-*—what would be our feelings and our
Svilftes 1 Should vve ■ not ci.cciate wie ty-a.it i
v.ho enslaved him? Should we not pray for
ids deliverance from their hortid thraldom ?
Should we not call aloud on our government to
demand his release, and count every moment's
delay a fin again It humanity? Would we not
be ready to devote our fortunes, osr ffrcngtli,
and even our lives to the fappprt of ( ioverumont.;
in mealurcs to obtain lumi-by ierce, ii refuted to
other means ?
Every heart, sensible to social or fraternal
aiTefliop, replies in the affirmative.
And if luch-impreiTed, abided, persecuted
brother, Were to make his escape, would we
brand him with the opprobrious epithet of a
deserter P Would we declare that die officers
with whom betook refuge ought to have given
him up ? That government ought to enforce
his delivery to his dreadful and dreaded foe ?
That Britain would be right in linking our (hips
and (laughtering onr men to retake him—and
all resistance to her or resentment of her con.
duct would be wrong ?
NO i Is'the indignant answer of every
Man, worthy of the name. No ! We
should bleed for his fufferings—we ihoukl burn
to avenge his wro.gs—we Ihoukl rejoice at his
delivcaaace—vre iliou’d clasp him in extacy to
our bosoms—and we ftould yield him up to his
/ormar eppreffors only with our lp.it breath.—
If Government would not protect him, we
would net support it—we would defpiid it—we
would abjure iz 1
And are not all Americans brothers ?
Oj r t we not to xyr.rp \\hl£s with c e another
inici'eriag—and unite as one man to redreis or
