4 The refusal oi lIio government to re
‘g'ud Inc invocation oi the people for a
‘ veiling war, would be sufficient to cx
‘ ClU: ;i suspicion that it is guided by o
‘ l^-“r views than the public jood : espe
cial!'. as, though a nation seldom makes
an advantage by war, a government of
ten docs. ‘ Soldiers and money, to a
people the expence,‘to a government
aie the fruits of war. By soldiers and
4 mon<J>' niost governments have obtain-J
*|cd tiie mastery over the people.” /
^ take it lor granted that the
k uv-ssugos of the President to Congress,
v. nich nave been published, contain all
k tli • existing causes for the warlike pre
‘ parations therein recommended.’
' j causes are a resolution of the
Kepuolic of Prance, declaring British
“Manufactures in neutral vessels, con
!ia.land ; and their refusal to receive
the American Mission. American pro
ducts, and neutral products in Ameri
v can vessels, remain uninvolved in the
‘ regulation.
M hat / Shall America war with
1 1 mnee, for the protection of the Bri
ti >n commerce, or to secure a share in
* ‘■ u carriage of British manufactures?
Anve, ica ! who would not war with
L Britain on account of the seizure of
‘ in r own products, in her own vessels!’
t^it the law oi nations is on our
h ^ t,xe lcr'° °f Nations capture
4 f, c British fleets, or defeat the French
‘ e>r ,;e\ ? A law settled by force and
‘ modelled by violence. A law cor.
stand/ exp rinded by the British can
‘ non. It Hi irain tan decree our provi
‘ sions a war munition, anti contraband,
* why may not !• ranee declare the ma
1 nuiactures > l Britain a war munition,
‘ and contraband ? Were our provisions
‘ more useful to France in war, than the
‘ manufacture?; c1 Britain are to Britain
1 in war? And ii aid in war is the con
k trabancl quality, its essence is surelv to
* be found m that which is the chief
* ,upport of war on the part of Britain.’
i ins lung a ge was deemed proper bv
the Aurora, its then and present sup
porters, when France siezed all neutral
vessels laden with British manufactures,
and when she refused to receive our En
voys. W hy is it criminal to hold the
same language now, when Britain seizes
neutral vessels laden with French or
Spanish products, hound to France,
Spain, or their dependencies, & searches
our vessels for her seamen? No reason
can lie given. It is alike proper or im- *
*n both crises : and I trust that no
pr>od man will continue to denounce his
iellow-citizen as a British Emissary
and Tory, lor pursuing the same course
now, which himself and his friends pur
sued when in opposition.
