establishment of an independent go
vernment west of the Allegheny, as a
matter of inherent, constitutional right
of the people, a change which would e.
ventually take place, and for the opera
ton of which the present crisis was pc
culiarly favourable. There was, said he.
no energyin the government to be dread
ed; and the divisions of political opini-
ons throughout the Union, was a circum-
stance of whichwe should profit. There
were very many enterprising men among
us, who aspired to something beyond
the dull pursuits of civil life, who would
volunteer in this enterprise; and the,
vast territory belonging to the United
States, which offered to adventures, and
the mines Of Mexico, would bring

he felt fully confident; till, at length, l
discovered that his ambition was not
bounded by the waters Of the Missis-
sippi and Mexico, but that he meditated
overthrowing the present government
of our country. He said, if he could
gain oyer the marine corps, and secure
the naval commanders, Truxton, Preble,
Decatur, and others, he zuould turn Con-
