4 pALTRY DEFENCE

In attempting TO defend the present adj.
ministration of our general government
from the charge of wanting spirit and en-
ergyc the Aurora tofEcial paper observes,
" The present administrators have for
their supreme object the happiness Of man
hey think thar Ives are not to be sported
with like doliars-and that it were better
TO expend millions of money, rather than
sacrifice one life"
Let US see how this story will bear ex-
animation: More than two years ago, by
the fortune Of war, between three and four
hundred of our feilow-ci,zens were taken
captives By the Tripolitans, and plunged
into Guageous-a certain sum was demand.
ed as tbs price of their ransom. Now it
is well known to every man of common
information, that government refused to
ransom these men (al,housh the price de.
mandcd was far short of Is nUAions") and
entered into war in which they knew
more than " one" life must be sacrificed
and i, Is also notorious that besides the loss
of more than fifty OF our bravest men,
three times the necessary sum TO purchase
the eaptive's freedom has already been ex-
pended in the war.
Such In fact has been the conduct of the
present administration that it is difficult to
determine wba, may be their supreme OBJ
iect. We charitably hope il is what it
processes to be-" the public good -
yet the means employed to promote it are
obviously, in most instances the reverse
of what they should be. In the affair of n.
Orleans the public good required il seems,
an humble acquiescence in the injury We
experience, although the means of redress
were at hand in tina, of Tripoli it demand
ed sn essay towards an attempt to pun
ish the aggressor though the prospect OF
success was doubtful. The administration
have uniformly protested to be guided by
the maxim above quoted, " that it is better
to expend millions of money than to sacri-
fce one life p yet in regard to Tripoii,
they have acted in direct opposition to that
maxim. From such premises can the con.
claslSn be in their favorf
