Peaceful, because powerful. Poweriitls
because united in interests and amaiga-
mated by concentration ofthose interests,
inthe national affections.
But let the opposite policy prevail let
the essential interests Of the great compo--
nent parts Of this union fnd no protec-
ton, under the national arm instead
Of safety, let them realize oppression, and
the seeds Of discord, and dissolution are,
inevitably, sown, in a soil. the best fitted
for their root, and affording the richest
nourishment for their expansion. IL may
be long time before they ripen. But,
sooner, or later, they will assuredly, burst
forth, in all their destructive energies. In
the intermediate period, what aspect does
an union, thus destitute OF cement, pre-
sent Is it that Of nation keen to dis
Germ and strong TO resist violations Gifts So
yereignty? Ii has rather the appearance
Of a casual collection OF semi arbarois
clans with the forms OF civilization and
with the ride and rending passions OF the
savage state. In truth, powerful. Yet,
as to any foreign effect, imbecile. Rich
in the goods OF fortune, yet wanting that
inherent spirit, without which nation
is poor indeed their strength exhausted,
by struggles for local power; their moral
sense debased, by low intiigues for person
al popularity, or temporary pre-eminence;
ali their thoughts turned, not to the
safety Of the state, but to the elevation
Of chieftain. A people, presenting such
an aspect,-what have they to expect
abroad? What, but pillage, insult and
scorn?
The choice is before us. Persist in
refusing efficient maritime protection
persist in the system Of commercial res
tl'ictions; what now, is, perhaps, antici-
patton, Will, hereafter, be history.
