THE TIMES.

" These are the Times that try men's souls"
Paiae's Crisis.
At this moment when the best rights and
honor of the United States are at issue, it is
Incumbent upon every friend Of his Country
to turn his attention towards the best means
OF protection and redress. Dissentions and
divisions have proved the bane of America
The British government would never have
dared to 'havc heaped so many wrongs and
indignities upon our head, if they had not
speculated upon our internal divisions, if they
had not supposed, that there was an ohho-
sHon furry in this country, who in every
emergency would stand by her, and resolute
~ set their face against every measure of
resistance: The proofs of this disposition
have been indeed imposing. When we sur
vey the hosts OF British agents in this coun-
try, who are at all times ready to obey the
behests and support the interests Of Britain,
some from natural feeling and others from
mercenary views--when we survey the
number OF native Americans. whom ambiti.
on or venality, the fear of France or the love
OF Britain, the spirit of party, or the fury of
prejudice, have caused to desert the ban.
ners OF their country, it is no wonder that
Canning and Castlereash, and Perceval and
Liverpool, should persevere in their en-
croachments upon us. When we consider
how easily the successive injuries OF the Bri
fish government have been denied,or exteuu-
ated BY Certain set of men, and tlfeir lead
ing prints IN this country---how the i'm
pressment OF our seamen, and the interrup
ton OF or commerce, have been palliatt.l
how cbaritably the murderous attack
on the Chesapeake has been forgotten
how boldly our Executive have been assailed
Tor daring TO reject the infamous propositi
ons OF Mr. Rose--what strong opposition
