On BUILDING AN AMERICAN NAVY.

It has been said, and repeated thousand
times, that the ocean ought to be equally free
to all nations And who denies 1t Who pre-
tends that all nations have not the same right,
one as another, to navigate old ocean? Who
pretends that this universal freedom of the
seas would not be very desirable state Of
things, as beneficial as equitable There can
be no dispute Oh this point But ii. idle to
talk of mel abstract impracticable rights
What signifies right without remedy? A
RIGHT that can't be enforced A right thar
NAV be invaded and taken away with impuni-
ty! A hddlestick for all such rights. If
there were only two persons in the world, a
giant and dwarf, the latter would have as
good right to the earth as the former; but
what would this avail him
In other times, this nation was guided by
plain practical men, of sterling good sense
They viewed the world as 1t gras, and took
their measures accordingly. They DID not
believe the time were come when the vol
would be content to lie down quietly with the
lamb. They did not believe that caravans,
richly laden with treasure, could be safely sent
through the desarts Of Arabia, without any
escort, s merely by proving 1t out, logically,
to the Arabians, that they had no right to
steal ard rob. Nor, for equally cogent rca-
sons, did they expect that the great and grow
ing commerce OF the United States could
float in security over the seas, unless some
other protection were afforded it, than that of
a 6a ef rights Accordingly, they laid the

unacc suntablc. But they are always led away
by false glory, by their passions, by their
vices. They reflect not and indeed, It they
did reflect, and oppose, what would avail the tn :;
opposition Of. unarmed myfiads, to the man
date Of a government supported By a standing
arup ? Many of the nations of Europe are
ent;reIv military-war is their trade. Ye
beasts of the forest no longer allow that man
is your superior, while there is found on the
face OF the earth such degeneracy.
Morality and religion forbid war IN Its mo-
tives, conduct aud consequences. But many
rulers act as if they believe that morality and
religion were disgrace to 9 statesman and
seem to think the less religion man has, the
better politician he, is,
The principal objects of those who rule and
their minions, are extension OF emplre-the
augmentation of a rcyenue-obtaining Offices
for friends and connections-or the annihila-
ton Of the public liberty.-Their restraints In
the pursuit Of those objects are not those OF
morality and religion but solely reasons OF
state or political caution, Plausible words
are used, but they are only used to hide the
deformity of the real principles. Wherever
war is deemed desirable in an interested view,
specious pretext never yet renamed un-
found. Morality is as little considered In the
beginning, as in the prosecution OF war. ne
most solemn treaties & engagements are NO
lated by the governing part OF the nation
with no more scruple than oaths and bonds are
broken by cheat and villain in the walks Of
private lie. Does the difference OF rank and
situation make any difference in the atroclty
of crimes Ifany, it renders thousand times
more criminal than that of a thief, the yllialny
of them, who, By violating every sacred obll-
cation between nation and nation, give rise to
miseries and mischiefs most dreadful in their
nature; and to which no human power can
say-thus far shall We proceed and no farther.
Are not the natural and moral evils OF HE sui
Hcient, but they must be rendered more acute;
more numerous and more emblttered by artl-
fetal means? My heart b!eeds over those
complicated scenes of woe, for which no cpl
tibet can be found efficiently descriptive
Language fails in laboring to express the hor-
rors Of war amid private families who are so
unfortunate as to be situate on the seat or 1t.
War, however, it will be said, has always
been permitted by Providence. This is in
deed true; but it has been only permitted as
a scourge. Let spirit and activity be exert
ed in regulating the morals of nation equal
to that with which war with all Its apparatus,
is attended to, and mankind will no longer be
scourged, neither will it be necessary to eva
cuate country of its members, for none will
e supernuous. Let us, according to the adj
vice of pious divine, think less of our fleets
and armies, and more of our faith and practice.
While we are warriors, with all our preten-
sions to civilization, we are savages.
