but one feeling— -that of-glowing gra

greatest dangers—vVho have placed
themselves as a bulwark, b ween

peaceful homes, and the scalping

have successfully encountered jmd

our frontiers, and prevented there the
exhibition of scenes similar to that
experienced at Port Mims.

A brief biographical sketch of tlse

American seamen are not only equal
but superior to bullish seamen. I
is no merit of theirs. Nature and
circumstances have made them so
But so it i»—they are phi sic ally su
perior, they are morally superior.
Ihe warm and variable cVim.te o
the United Spates has, to a certain
melted the original English’
constitution, of our ancestors, till
instead of the broad shouldered and
ruddy form of the people of Great
Britain, the Arne;icans are a thin
ner race of men with less personal
strength and stamina, but with more
activity, more quickne,s, more aleit
ness. Ihe lower classes of people
iu this country, too, derive from their
popular institutions more intelli
gence and education, they learn
more and they learn easier, while
the wider field for exertion, and the
perfect freedom of en ploying them
selves in fheir own way, gives to
the American character a certain
play, and vigor, and animation not
found in any other nation. The A
mericans, moreover, are generally
younger men. more in the rigor of
life. It. is an extraordinary fact
which, perhaps, never hud an exam*
pie beiore in the history of nations
that more than half the
of the United States, are under six
teen years ofage. The state of our
tiade also renders otic seamen more
adventurous. Tho ‘nifke longer
voyages, in smaller shi(Js, and brave
more dangers than can be experitn*
ced’in the regular monopolized, and
convoyed commerce of Great Bri
tain. They besides enter into the
service voluntarily, and for short pe
riods. and they have more of the
elasticity of freedom than the sea
men entombed on board a British
man of war. 1 The effect which
circumstances might naturally be
supposed to pv'oduce we have often
seen. The Americans vanquished
the English at sea again and again
during the revolution. In the war
with Trance the American squad
\Ohs were at least as active, as brave, •
ar.u as'Vigilant as these ot Ln- j
gland. VV hiie the two navies were I
together in the Mediterranean, the
supenoiity in ships, crews and otti*
cets was, in file opinion of every
stranger, riecVdeoly with the Amer
icans. How that pre-eminence has
been sustained in the present war
heed nbt be tbllf, In short tire ; A
mencaii seamen have always held,
thut high rank oil the oceati train
which the casual loss oi the Ttmu*
peak?, in an ill-matched comdut, can
not degi ace theni and wlTcli we ;
are sure, with the blessing of Hod. j
and a liberal polity from their coun

I he Loan Bill, which has been un
