fource. 1t is evident that America
may be, and fad events prove that ihe
mutt retolve that ihe will be, ard foon
too, great naval power. A few ihips
would check piracies on orr coat, and
Itraiten the rapacity Of the Weitindia
AlgerlneS. Fully to realize this defra-
bic itate of defence, there mutt be fcme
years preparation, in time Of peace,
when labor ard materials will be cheap
er than at prefent. 1t will be our folly
II we remain twenty years longer under
guardianfhiP to any European nation.
There is treachery in all foreign pro-
te6tiOn, and we Alall be branded as
towards if we feek iafety in any way
but by the exertion Of our own ifrength
and relourceS. 1t has colt good deal
to cure US of our foolifh and almoft ia

SELF DEFENCE.

f" THE necefity Of feif defence is as
plain as the noon day fun. The capaci-
ty Of the United States to defend its
trade and navigation is greater thanmoft
perions have believed. No nation, ex-
cept Britain, has 70 much trade-and a
great trade will fupPort frong navy.
France has not more 1ea coat, nor at
this time more failors, hips or COM
mercc than we had in 1884. Her
wealth, credit or naval relources are
not in greater proportion and after
paying her y2it armies, her means to
equip and maintain powerful feet are
not 70 great as thofe Of America, Whole
credit is elablilhed, and Whole fources
Of taxation are yet fcarcely made to yield
a quarter part of their practicable re-
